twenty four.
The little prince held the letter and thought for a moment, thinking that he must be expressing too implicitly, so he picked up the pen and repaired the book.
"This king has been very depressed since the death of the father, and the emperor's elder brother is busy with the government all day long and has no time to take care of me. Fortunately, before the father died, he entrusted me to the prime minister. The prime minister treats me like a parent and son, and often comes to me. I'm very grateful for walking around to comfort me. But lately he's always mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, that he wants to marry me with a daughter, and then I realized that I'm also of marriageable age. Appearance, it will probably be quite popular in the future, if you don't come back, brother Yan, I may marry earlier than you. I hope you can recover."
Not long after the letter was sent, it was the same as last time, and a reply was received very quickly, still only one sentence:
"The prince's appearance and talent are all first-class, and it is a good thing to be welcomed by beautiful women."
The little prince read it over and over several times, and finally decided that the point of this sentence was to praise himself, so he was quite satisfied.
25.
In the blink of an eye, the cold and summer alternated for two more rounds. On this day, when the little prince woke up, he received a letter from Lord Yan, saying that the southern border had been set, and he could leave for Beijing on the same day.
The little prince jumped up with joy and ran around in the palace to report. When he ran to the emperor's brother, the emperor calmly took a sip of tea and said, "I already knew that."
The little prince was hit, and secretly complained that the horse that delivered the letter to the emperor was faster than his own.
From this day onwards, the little prince will go to the tower every day to wait. Pearl said that it would take a month to travel from the southern border to the capital. If there is no hurry, the little prince would not listen.
Pearl said again: "You are almost a stone of hope."
The little prince blushed and retorted: "cai, I'm not a husband." But he was very sweet in his heart.
A month later, the large army finally arrived successfully. The Great Protector General rode at the forefront, and beside him was Lord Yan, who had made many achievements in battle.
After five years of hard work on the battlefield, Mr. Yan has become a lot more mature. Although it is slightly vicissitudes, the edges and corners are more distinct and heroic than before.
The little prince recognized him at a glance, rushed down from the tower, and rushed to the front of the team.
"I will see the prince at the end." Lord Yan said.
The little prince suppressed the throbbing in his heart, pursed his lips and squinted his eyes.
The corner of Lord Yan's mouth also raised slightly, and said, "My lord has grown taller."
26.
The little prince got on Lord Yan's horse and entered the city together.
Since he hadn't seen him for a long time, the little prince couldn't take his eyes off of him every second, sitting in front of Mr. Yan and insisting on turning his head and staring at him.
Mr. Yan was a little uncomfortable under his stare, he pressed his head and turned back, but when he released his hand, he turned back again.
The emperor was already waiting outside the palace gate. Seeing that the little prince was also among them, he couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Xiaojiu just came back from the battlefield."
The little prince then jumped off his horse and returned to stand behind the emperor.
The generals dismounted and saluted one after another, and the queen stepped forward to help the Great Protector up. The father and daughter hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the queen's face was full of tears.
The emperor walked over to the queen, helped her to wipe her gently, and said thoughtfully: "The queen is pregnant, but don't overdo it and hurt your body."
The behavior of the two emperors and queens was very affectionate, and everyone present was very envious, only Lord Yan pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
27.
In the evening, a banquet was held in the palace to wash away the wind and dust for the soldiers. The little prince sat next to Lord Yan, chattering about the big and small events that happened in the capital over the years. Lord Yan listened absentmindedly while drinking.
After the banquet was over, the little prince was walking in the garden with Lord Yan. The little prince had been talking all night and his throat was a little hoarse, so he stopped talking and didn't continue.
The two walked quietly together, and the atmosphere turned cold inexplicably. Only then did the little prince realize that Lord Yan had been in a low mood since seeing the emperor today, which seemed to be the same as that night when the prince established his concubine.
The little prince didn't know why or what to say. At this time, an apple fell from the fruit tree next to it, and it just hit the little prince's head.
The little prince raised the apple and asked for something to say: "Brother Yan, why do you think the apple fell down?"
Lord Yan did not answer.
The little prince felt bored, took a sip of the apple, and asked himself, "Probably want to be eaten by me."
The author says:
If it weren't for the patronage of falling in love, the little prince could have become the current Newton.
