But the little prince, who knew nothing about this, was still blindly envious. He stayed in the tomb for a long time before returning to the spaceship.
On the spaceship, General Mance was sitting by the window handling official business.
Somehow, Huo Lin thought of Mans's quick withdrawal and felt a little strange. This approach was not like Mans' previous style.
He glanced at Mance again, then looked away and swallowed his doubts.
That day.
After he returned, he was indeed punished.
He was being punished in the study. On a planet far away from him, the little kid who had caused him to be punished was crying in the bedroom, looking for a pot.
Zhan Xi's head was buzzing from crying: "Baby, let's stop crying, okay? If you keep crying you'll be dehydrated. How about you drink this bottle of milk first?"
Jane Ning threw away the bottle and cried even harder.
Zhan Xi saw that he didn't even drink milk, and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. In the middle of the night, he called the little prince regardless of disturbing others.
Fortunately, the little prince didn’t sleep either.
The two cubs were talking on the phone, and one of them finally calmed down.
The little prince's voice was a little hoarse, as if he had a cold, but even though his voice was uncomfortable, he still skillfully coaxed the child to sleep: "Ningzi, count to me all the numbers you can recite."
After receiving the instruction, Jian Ning started counting. After counting for a few minutes, he fell into Zhan Xi's arms and finally fell asleep.
Zhan Xi also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
He put the baby down and covered him with a small blanket. Then he looked at Xingji who had not yet hung up the call: "Little Prince, have you caught a cold? Your voice doesn't sound right."
Huo Lin replied vaguely: "I did catch a cold."
Hearing this, Zhan Xi stopped letting him stay up late: "Then don't forget to take your medicine and go back to sleep. It's so late now, you can't stay up any longer. Thank you for comforting Ningzi just now."
"You're welcome."
After the little prince finished speaking, he hung up the phone and buried his face in the quilt. It was unknown whether he fell asleep or not.
The night was long and the separated kids were all in a bad mood.
This bad mood lasted for a few days and then improved slightly.
The little prince used the learning machine and video calls to take care of the baby remotely. He remembered the address given by Zhan Xi, and then contracted all the toys for the baby's growth period. From advanced walkers to baby rocking cars, there are all kinds of things.
The days go by.
Whenever the little prince sent something, he would send it to the address given to him by Zhan Xi.
The people on the desolate planet were not blind. They looked at the things Jane Ning brought back, and their expressions changed from surprise at first to getting used to it in the end.
"Zhan Xi, what did the little prince send to our Ningzi again?"
"I don't know. It looks like milk on the package. I've been trying to wean him off powdered milk recently, but he doesn't like it and has cried several times. I guess the little prince knew about this and sent it to him. Hey, do you want to drink it?"
The man who had spoken to him smiled cheerfully: "Go away, who wants to snatch milk from Ningzai? I'm going to plant tomatoes in my vegetable garden soon. Doesn't Ningzai like to watch the planting? Ask him to come over later and I'll pick some tomatoes for him to eat."
Zhan Xi followed with a smile: "Okay."
Although their desolate planet no longer has stone barriers, the ravines drawn by Zhan Rao have become new barriers that can prevent the Zerg from crawling over.
Although the new barrier is not as strong as the previous one, it has the advantage of stable mental strength of everyone. Even if a bug crawls over occasionally, it will be killed immediately.
Without the harassment from the Zerg, everyone worked together to transform the barren planet.
They found suitable soil, bought a lot of seeds, and planted a lot of things on the barren planet. In addition to planting things, they also raised some livestock that could be eaten and sold on the black market.
All these changes are taking place tacitly.
Even if the Zerg hadn't invaded before, the people of the desolate planet had never thought of transforming this place. They were still living, but life was like a pool of water that was slowly drowning them.
The motto they believe in in life is to live one day at a time.
Now, they have changed their attitude towards life, and have more hope and joy in their days. All of them are trying to make this place a little better.
At least, it is suitable for the cubs to live a good life.
"Susu, my son is not inferior to Caicai."
In the vegetable garden, a cub the size of a radish head squatted in front of a patch of green vegetables and told his uncle that he did not eat that kind of green vegetables.
The uncle who grew vegetables taught him: "Ning, you are a big kid now, you can't be picky about food, understand?"
Jian Ning pulled at the leaves and resisted passively: "The cub is still young."
uncle:"… "
The uncle was both angry and amused: "If you don't eat your vegetables properly, how can you grow? You are already over three years old, you need to grow up well. When your little brother the prince was over three years old, he was taller than you."
Jane Ning listened to his uncle muttering and he covered his ears with his hands.
Squatted in the vegetable garden for a while.
Jian Ning's sneaky act of plucking vegetables was discovered, and his uncle picked him up and put him on the dirt pile: "Don't mess things up. If you plucking vegetables again, I'll tell your dad."
Jane Ning sat on the mound, shaking her little feet, and finally behaved herself for a while.
The sunset slowly emerged.
The warm light sprinkled in front of the little cub on the mound of earth. Compared with the little cub who couldn't walk two years ago, the cub now has grown a lot.
He was raised very well by his father. His facial features became more and more handsome on his chubby little face, with soft flesh on his cheeks slightly drooping. When he saw people, he would always squint his eyes and greet them obediently.
"Ningzi, both tomatoes and cucumbers are edible. Which one do you want to eat?"
"I want a melon!"
"… "
After hanging around in the vegetable garden for a long time and eating a belly full of fruits and vegetables, Jian Ning ran to play with Uncle Ling Qi.
Uncle Ling Qi loves to tease children the most. Jian Ning is often made to look angry by his teasing, but the next time, he will still run to find Ling Qi.
"Crunchy, spicy!"
Jian Ning came here happily, but before she had even stayed for half an hour, she was provoked and left in a huff.
Ling Qi leaned against the door frame, looking at the cub's angry back, a smile flashing across his eyes.
It’s better to stay here.
I can play with my kids whenever I want, and live a carefree life without a lot of rules to follow.
A few more days passed.
Zhan Xi started looking at kindergartens and elementary schools on various planets. He was overwhelmed with the choice of schools: "The environment of these schools is too bad, and they require a mental strength test for admission. I saw in some parent forums that they also arranged seats according to the strength of mental strength."
If he really sent his child there, he would definitely be discriminated against!
The curly-haired kid, who had just returned from picking vegetables from the garden, hung his head in frustration when he heard this.
He held a carrot in his arms, and his chubby face was rubbed with mud. At this moment, he looked even more wilted than the carrot leaf in his arms: "Dad, the baby has no mental strength."
Zhan Xi's chest felt tight.
His Ningzai could obviously heal other people's mental power, but he couldn't measure his own mental power at all.
Seeing that his child's mood continued to decline, Zhan Xi used the little prince to divert his attention: "Ningzi, isn't it time for your brother to call you? Didn't you say that you wanted to show your brother the vegetables you planted? Go find him."
When talking about Huo Lin, Jian Ning, who was holding a carrot, had a heavier expression on her pretty face: "Brother has ignored me for two days."
Zhan Xi: “…”
Zhan Xi failed to appease him and instead made things worse, so he had to make amends by saying, "Dad is going to the post office to get something, do you want to come with me?"
Jane Ning nodded, threw away the carrot, and asked her father to take her on the spaceship.
The father and son went on a spaceship together. At the same time, the little prince, who was driving the spaceship alone, had just stopped the spaceship, which was about to be scrapped, near the collection point.
The spaceship stopped, the little prince put on his bag and jumped down coolly.
Then, I sprained my ankle.
The little prince's face turned green after spraining his ankle, but he soon realized that there was no one around. This meant that no one could see his sprained ankle.
This realization made him look a little better.
In the past two years, not only has Jian Ning grown up, but the little prince has also grown up a lot. The imperial family has always been superior in height and appearance, and the little prince has always been the tallest among his peers.
He carried his bag and limped to the collection point.
The collection point is an empty military base. The base is located in a remote area and is in a dilapidated state. Normally, no one comes here.
After he walked in, he found a seat and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, the voice of the Star Machine rang. The caller was his chief of security, Auben. Auben had called him countless times in the past two days, asking about his whereabouts.
Huo Lin looked at the communication record, was silent for a few seconds, and replied: "I will stay outside for a few days."
Auburn: "Your Highness, it is not safe for you to be alone outside. Please give me an address so that I can come to you."
Huo Lin: “No need.”
After Huo Lin sent the message, he turned off the Star Machine. The conflicts and frictions between him and his father had been getting bigger and bigger in the past two years, and this time they had another conflict.
It all started with something that happened at school.
Huo Lin is now studying at the Imperial Military Primary School. He doesn't have any friends at school and doesn't get along well with other children.
He didn't want to go to school, he wanted to continue taking classes in the palace, but the courses in the palace were no easier than those in elementary school.
But my father disagreed.
Not only did his father disagree, he also rejected his proposal to build a royal kindergarten.
The reason given by the father was: "It is impossible for a kindergarten to have only one student."
That’s right, this student is Ning Zai.
Huo Lin was very dissatisfied with this. A student is still a student! If the admission requirements of the kindergarten attached to the Imperial Primary School were not too strict, he would not have made such a suggestion.
Because of school matters, the little prince was in a bad mood and irritable, so he carried his bag and drove the spaceship out to relax.
He planned to go to the Original Stone Star to see his mother after meeting Ningzai.
In the past two years, perhaps because of Ningzai's presence, the little prince no longer kept things to himself. He listened to Ningzai's words and went to his mother every time he was unhappy.
Especially when his father punished him, he never missed a single one and told his mother about it all.
The bulging backpack was opened.
Huo Lin searched inside for a long time. The box was filled with things for Ningzai. He packed it too full and it seemed that he didn't have any room for ointment for himself.
"never mind."
Huo Lin closed his backpack and decided to rest for a while. He would go look for Ning Zai after his ankle felt better.
The abandoned military base looks simple, but in a small piece of soil at the back, there is a small row of flowers planted. The petals of these flowers are very small, colorful and very beautiful.
Huo Lin only took one look and knew that these were the flower seeds sown by Ning Zai.
Ningzai's hobbies in recent years are either growing vegetables or growing flowers. He has a natural love for planting, but he is not very interested in the mechas that the children of the empire love.
Time passes by little by little.
On the spaceship that was about to reach its destination, Jian Ning sat in her own exclusive seat, with unhappiness written all over her face: "Daddy, the baby wants milk powder!"
Zhan Xi coaxed him while driving the spaceship: "Milk is also milk, baby, we have to learn to drink milk now."
The parenting book Zhan Xi read said that powdered milk had no nutritional value after a child was three years old. Their baby was already over three years old, but he still needed two bottles of milk every day.
Zhan Xi was racking his brains to get him to stop drinking milk powder.
Seeing that his father refused to give him milk to drink, Jian Ning threw away his vocabulary book in anger and didn't even want to do his homework.
The spacecraft accelerated all the way.
When we arrived at the destination, the little kid who was just throwing a tantrum opened his arms and asked for a hug again.
Zhan Xi looked at him and asked, "Did you lose your homework book?"
Jian Ning: “…”
Jian Ning looked at the seat belt that she couldn't unfasten by herself and curled her lips: "Don't lose it."
After hearing that, Zhan Xi picked him up.
Although the cub has grown a lot in the past two years, he is still very small compared to his father.
"dad."
Jian Ning, whose temper was gone, hugged her father's neck and rubbed him: "Baby, I don't want to go to school!"
Now that she is on this deserted planet and doesn’t have to go to school, Jane Ning feels very comfortable.
He had seen videos of the school. The school had a big gate and many kids were locked in. There were also teachers and exams inside.
The kid, who currently relies solely on the little prince for tutoring, already feels that he can't finish his homework. If there are a few more teachers, the kid will definitely be doomed.
Zhan Xi glanced at him and knew what he was thinking: "Impossible, you must take this course."
He and other people on the deserted planet spent all the money they had saved for half a year on obtaining a household registration for their children on the black market. Now the household registration issue has been resolved.
The little brat dared not go to school, he is simply looking for trouble.
Jian Ning looked at his father's face and knew that it was useless to act coquettishly. He hung his head and said "sigh" in a baby voice.
soon.
An adult and a child came to the collection point. As soon as they entered, Jane Ning, who was sitting in her father's arms, was stunned.
He looked at the little prince sitting on the ground, and after a moment of stunned silence, he hurriedly asked his father to put him down.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Jian Ning ran forward: "Brother!!!"
It turns out that his brother was not ignoring him, but came to find him!
Jian Ning's loud, baby voice woke up Huo Lin, who was dozing off. Huo Lin raised his eyes and saw the little weight, who seemed to have gained a little weight, running towards him. His eyelids twitched suddenly.
Next second.
He was knocked over directly.
Zhan Xi, who was not far away, said: "…"
Zhan Xi's mouth twitched, and he walked over and picked up the weight that had fallen to the ground. After picking it up, he saw the little prince's foot underneath: "Is it sprained?"
Zhan Xi said this, squatted down and took off his shoes.
Huo Lin's face was a little embarrassed: "Uncle Zhan, I'm fine, I'll be fine after sitting for a while."
Zhan Xi ignored him and continued to check him: "It's not serious, but he will have to limp for two days. Why did you come here without telling me? Where is your guard?"
"I didn't take them."
Huo Lin has always been independent, and he felt uncomfortable when someone held his feet like this.
Fortunately, Zhan Xi had some medicine with him. After applying the medicine to his sprained ankle, the pain was immediately relieved a lot.
After applying the medicine, the two found that one of the cubs seemed to be silent the whole time, which was a little abnormal. They turned their heads together and saw the tearful cub.
Jian Ning's eyes were still glued to his brother's sprained ankle. He looked at the bruises on his brother's ankle and sniffed distressedly: "Brother, it hurts."
"Brother, it doesn't hurt."
Huo Lin said stubbornly: "I can still get up and walk a few steps for you."
He was about to stand up, but Zhan Xi didn't let him: "Okay, don't move around for the next two days. You haven't told me yet, what are you doing here this time?"
Huo Lin had a stern face and said nothing.
Zhan Xi saw this and understood immediately: "Oh, running away from home."
He was indeed a little prince who ran away from home. He said stubbornly, "I am going to see my mother and come to see Ningzi by the way."
Zhan Xi looked at his feet and thought for a moment: "Okay, I have nothing to do right now, I'll take you there. After you see your mother, go home obediently."
The empire's little prince ran away from home, and it's understandable that the emperor would not be very happy.
Although he is not a nosy person, the little prince is Ningzai's nominal brother after all, and it would not be good for him to not care about him at all.
After Zhan Xi made the decision, he looked down at the little prince and his own child: "Ningzi, Daddy wants to hold your brother, can you walk by yourself?"
"Yes!"
Jian Ning nodded and answered seriously.
Zhan Xi brought the two cubs onto the spaceship and began to set the route. It didn't take him too long to send the two cubs to the Original Stone Star.
After they got there, Huo Lin's car was inside. He took Jian Ning to see his mother, but Zhan Xi did not follow.
Zhan Xi, who has nothing to do for the time being, plans to take a stroll around the Original Stone Star.
However.
As soon as he went out, he met an army. The army came with great force. They were ordered by the emperor to bring back the little prince.
Zhan Xi looked at this situation and felt that the way His Royal Highness the Emperor raised children was indeed rough.
With this kind of behavior, it would be strange if there were no family conflicts.
Huo Lin, who was unaware of the situation outside, had already arrived in front of the coffin with Jian Ning.
The Phoenix Feather Stone in the coffin had not been moved yet. Huo Lin turned his head and looked at Jian Ning's face. He wanted to say something but swallowed it back.
He has looked up a lot of information in the past two years. From the information he found, the Phoenix Feather Stone seemed to be a relic passed down in a royal family for thousands of years, and such a thing could only be used by direct descendants of the royal family.
Jian Ning is Zhan Xi’s child, so he can’t be a royal child.
He regained his composure and thought that the recorded information might be wrong.
Jian Ning hadn't been here for a long time. When he came, he climbed into the coffin: "Brother, tell Auntie to get up!"
Huo Lin: “…”
How many times have I said this
His mother couldn't get up.
Jane Ning crawled in, touched her beautiful aunt's hand, and asked her to get up.
Before Huo Lin could talk to him, he received a call from his father: "Xizel, it's time to stop your nonsense."
"The First Legion is waiting for you outside the Stone Star."
"I'm not going back."
Perhaps because he was sitting next to his mother, the little prince was very confident: "At worst, you can just let them catch me."
The atmosphere between father and son became tense again.
And at the same time.
Jian Ning was pleasantly surprised to see his aunt's fingers move. He happily put his forehead against his aunt's forehead to sense her mental power.
His eyes widened at this perception.
Auntie has a lot of mental strength!
Jian Ning was about to turn around and inform his brother excitedly, when he saw his aunt, whose forehead was touched by him, tremble her eyelids. Then, a pair of beautiful eyes like emeralds caught Jian Ning's eyes.
"Wow."
Jian Ning sat on the stone in a daze, and said blankly, "Auntie is so beautiful."
Such straightforward praise brought a slight smile to the face of the queen who had just woken up.
After praising her aunt, Jane Ning couldn't wait to find her brother.
But my brother was still holding the phone, arguing with the person on the other end of the line with a grim face.
Seeing that the little prince outside was so angry that his voice was raised, the queen in the coffin also stopped smiling and frowned slightly.
She supported herself against the inner wall of the coffin and sat up.
Jian Ning also very attentively stretched out his chubby hand, supported his pretty aunt, and complained to her: "Aunt, my brother was bullied!"
