The heartfelt talk in the warm pavilion ended with the little prince nagging himself to sleep. Yun Jiangli held the sleeping youth in his arms and suddenly realized that he had not given him a positive status until he fell asleep.
The big beauty sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He never thought that he would have such a day as well.
So before nightfall that day, Yun Jiangli took his luggage and moved directly into the little prince’s bedroom.
Although it was called luggage, there were not many things. Yun Jiangli didn’t need to prepare anything in the Prince’s mansion, not to mention that he didn’t have many things to begin with.
Yan Muning sat cross-legged on the couch, looking at the big beauty who looked like he was going to be the king of the mountain, and asked with his head tilted, “You, you… this seems to be impolite, right?”
Who would have thought that the big beauty raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, “Why? You just granted me the title of princess consort this afternoon. Now Xiao Wangye is denying it again?”
Yan Muning: “……”
Did I promise? I don’t think I did… The little prince pursed his lips in confusion.
For some reason, the little prince was choked by this sentence and felt a little guilty. He puffed up his cheeks and whispered, “No, that’s not what I meant. Aren’t we still not, not married yet…”
Yun Jiangli said nothing, just leaning lazily against the screen with his arms folded, his eyes staring at Yan Muning’s belly with a meaningful gaze.
The little prince blushed at the gaze, and in anger he picked up a soft pillow from the side and put it in front of him, glaring fiercely: “Don’t look!”
Yan Muning said that it was impolite, but in fact, since the day he was rescued, Yun Jiangli never went back to his Jiayue Pavilion to sleep.
Not to mention at night, even during the day, this person never left and occasionally asked his subordinates to go to get something.
At first, when he was sick and confused, Yun Jiangli almost stayed by his side without taking off his clothes, and he himself also vaguely remembered it.
Later, he gradually got better. The big beauty did not take the initiative to mention returning to Jiayue Pavilion, so the little prince also did not think about it.
Instead, he stuck to the big beauty every day, wishing he could turn into a pendant.
It was only when Yun Jiangli moved into his bedroom with such fanfare that the little prince realized it belatedly and felt a little shy.
“Be good, I’ll go to the small kitchen to see if the bird’s nest is ready.”
Yun Jiangli is now more and more adept at coaxing the little prince.
What Yan Muning couldn’t stand the most was the big beauty’s gentle and doting look, so he was immediately appeased and nodded obediently.
Yun Jiang left the room, and the little prince leaned against the head of the bed and became bored. The wounds on his palms and wrists from the porcelain pieces were very deep, and he was currently covered with plasters and wrapped in cloth, so it was not convenient for him to do anything.
Shiyi and the others were worried that the white sparrow would not know the severity of the situation and would accidentally peck the little prince, so they did not dare to bring the white sparrow to play with him these days.
The little prince, who had nothing to do, was picking and touching here and there, and finally he could not help but start to touch his belly.
He has been sick and injured these days, and he has lost a lot of weight, but his belly has become more round.
The little prince lifted his undergarment and became very curious about his round belly. He poked his belly with his fingers, as if thinking about how to have a friendly exchange with the child inside.
Yun Jiangli returned to his bedroom with the bird’s nest. As soon as he turned around the screen, he saw the scene that almost made him bleed from the nose.
The youth was already delicate with fair skin. Now, under the candlelight in the room, he looked both cute and white. There were a few dark scars on his chest that had not healed, which added a different flavor.
The black-ink long hair was untied, and as the youth lowered his head, it fell on his shoulders. The colorful undergarment made him look crystal clear.
Yun Jiangli suppressed the fire in his heart and walked straight to the couch with the bird’s nest in his hand.
Trying to control his gaze and keep calm, he took a deep breath and reached out to cover the hem of the youth’s undergarment.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Your Highness, don’t catch a cold.”
The little prince was having fun playing with his soft belly, and he didn’t notice that Yun Jiangli’s tone was a little stiff. He smiled with his round eyes curved into crescents.
Like a child eager to share his own fun, Yan Muning quickly opened his undergarment, touching his belly, and said with a smile, “Look, Ah Li!”
Yun Jiangli’s eyes darkened a little. At this time, the youth looked proud and wanted to take credit. In his eyes, he was simply a charming little goblin.
But this little devil has no idea that he is doing something provocative.
The little prince seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with Yun Jiangli’s silence. He pouted and stretched out two fingers, pulled the hem of the clothes, and sat on the edge of the bed, and then pinched the big beauty’s palm and “smacked” it against his belly.
He asked excitedly, “Isn’t it very soft? Very different, right?”
When Yun Jiangli’s palm touched the softness and delicacy, his head buzzed…
The rationality that had been forcibly endured for a long time was completely shattered in an instant.
He leaned over and kissed the seductive mouth directly, holding the lips and grinding them carefully.
Until the youth couldn’t bear it anymore and let out a few soft moans.
Yun Jiangli got up slightly but didn’t mean to stop there. He directly held the person’s legs and bent him to sit sideways in his arms.
With one hand on the youth’s shoulder and the other holding his chin, he kissed him again.
Yan Muning turned around dizzily, with nowhere to hide. He didn’t know why he was being kissed non-stop when he was having so much fun just now.
Soon, the little prince, who was unable to resist, could only tremble in the big beauty’s arms, completely losing the ability to think.
And the big hands that had led the wolf into the house became even hotter.
The little prince regretted it and didn’t want to share it with him anymore!
……
When the little prince came back to his senses, he had already changed into a clean, moon-white undergarment and lay down on the soft couch again.
Yun Jiangli looked at the youth’s red cheeks and wet eyes and felt a little regretful in his heart…
Why couldn’t he hold back and bully him again?
But…
The little thing had a beautiful pink hue at the corners of his eyes in his arms. He was trembling from the kiss, but he was still using his fingertips to hook his hair. It was so…
At this time, Yan Muning was lying in the quilt, his eyes still hazy, looking fragile and pitiful through a layer of mist, and he cursed in a low voice, “Wu, Wuwu… You, you bastard!”
Yun Jiangli refused to admit it.
He wiped the youth’s forehead with a warm handkerchief and said slowly, “Your Highness, I feel so aggrieved by what you said.”
The little prince choked up suddenly, thinking of the presence he felt when he was sitting in the big beauty’s arms just now, which could not be ignored.
But, but the big beauty has only been coaxing and taking care of him gently from beginning to end…
So, it seems that he is the bastard?
Was he being a scumbag again?
Thinking of this, the little prince felt a little guilty.
Then, then fine, it’s just a kiss…
Yan Muning tried to change the subject, raising his paw and acting coquettishly: “Ah Li, my hand hurts…”
Yun Jiangli sighed, pinched the pair of paws that had been disobedient just now, unwrapped the cloth, cleaned the wound again, and carefully applied the ointment.
“The bird’s nest is cold. I’ll go to the kitchen and get a warm one.”
Yun Jiangli touched the soup bowl with the back of his hand. “Is there anything else that Xiao Wangye wants to eat?”
You can talk about anything, but don’t talk about eating. Yan Muning frowns when he mentions it, and he wants to vomit on the spot.
Hearing Yun Jiangli ask this, he shook his head and muttered softly, “I’m not hungry, can I not eat?”
Yun Jiangli was also worried. Not to mention that the youth was already weak and had a baby in his belly, he even ate less than the fat bird on weekdays.
He sighed and sat on the bed to comfort him: “Today, the kitchen stewed bird’s nest using a new method. I’ve tried it. It’s very refreshing and has no fishy smell at all. Can you drink a little?”
Yan Muning was not ignorant. He knew how much the people in the mansion had been worried about him during this period. He puffed up his cheeks and nodded in agreement.
Yun Jiangli was leaning lazily against the wall beside the small kitchen door, watching Du Zhong fiddling with the soup pot on the stove.
Ah Xiao and Xiao Jiu were mumbling something, and the two pushed and shoved into the kitchen.
“Ai!”
Ah Xiao didn’t expect to bump into his boss at this time and was shocked: “Boss! Why are you here?”
“Huh?”
Yun Jiangli glanced at him coldly.
Ah Xiao was frightened by that look and immediately changed his words: “Hehehe, Boss, you are reasonable no matter where you are…”
Unable to resist the fact that some teammates were always uncooperative, Xiao Jiu spoke out as usual: “Young Hall Master? Didn’t you just ask someone to send a lot of hot water to His Highness’s bedroom? How come you are so fast… um, um!”
Ah Xiao covered Xiao Jiu’s mouth with his hand and finally understood why Shiyi always told Xiao Jiu to shut up…
This mouth is so poisonous that it can kill people!
Du Zhong was watching the fire intently, trying to make his boss ignore his existence.
Yun Jiangli lowered his eyes and said nothing more. He only heard Xiao Jiu, who was dragged away by Ah Xiao, still trying to argue with him. He could vaguely hear a few words—
“You don’t want your life, but I still do…” He knew it was from Ah Xiao.
“What are you afraid of? Look at how scared you are! You just said that your Young Hall Master is durable… um!” Xiao Jiu seemed to be covering over his mouth again.
“My boss has amazing hearing! You better shut up!” Ah Xiao was about to cry.
“But the hot water was delivered only a quarter of an hour ago!”
……
The two people’s voices became quieter and quieter, replaced by the sound of clanging and banging. It was obvious that they had turned to fighting instead of talking.
Yun Jiangli shook his head with a hint of helplessness.
The mansion was very lively, except for the fact that the little prince was seriously ill a few days ago, everyone in the mansion had become so quiet that they seemed to have lost their vitality.
The little prince gradually recovered in the past few days, and the mansion also returned to its original state.
Thinking back to when he was such a quiet person, he was disturbed by the youth’s chattering all day long. At first, he wanted to stab him to death, but now he feels like something is missing when he can’t hear the youth’s chattering…
Yun Jiangli smiled. If there were another child in the mansion, things would be even more chaotic!
He began to look forward to it.
No matter how reluctant one is to mention it, what happened cannot be covered up.
Prince Yi and Prince Huai have been detained for many days, and all their crimes have been verified one by one. The emperor flipped through the summary document in his hand, and his expression was even colder than the heavy snow outside.
“You all… leave. Zhen wants to be alone.”
The young emperor waved his hand tiredly, asking the ministers waiting in the hall to leave first.
Yan Muchen had just walked out of Linhua Palace when he heard hurried footsteps behind him—
“Your Highness Prince Cheng, Your Highness!”
He turned around and saw Eunuch Li jogging along, so he stood there and waited for a while.
“Your Highness, aiyo, you are walking too fast… The old servant can’t catch up.”
Eunuch Li was panting heavily.
“But what does Your Majesty want to call this king for? It’s snowing heavily, you can just ask the eunuch beside you to come. Why bother making this trip yourself?” Yan Muchen said to the old eunuch who had been with the late emperor for many years.
“Eh, Your Highness, you are embarrassing the old servant. As a servant, I should follow His Majesty’s orders carefully, right?”
After Eunuch Li took a few steps forward, he lowered his voice and said, “His Majesty asked you to bring Shizi ye, Yuchi over.”
Yan Muchen nodded, without saying anything more, and turned around and went directly out of the palace.
If he wants to see Yuchi Zhao, he has to meet him in private…
Prince Cheng was thinking in his heart, probably wanting to ask Yuchi whether he had the intention to come to court or not, and more importantly, he probably wanted to discuss whether to tell Yan Muning about Prince Yi or not.
As he thought—
Inside Linhua Palace.
“There is no need for Shizi to be so reserved in front of Zhen.” The emperor smiled and asked Yuchi Zhao to stand up.
After Yuchi thanked him, he relaxed a little: “Did Your Majesty summon the minister here for Prince An?”
“Yes, and also no.”
The emperor glanced at Prince Cheng and motioned him to speak.
Prince Cheng took a sip from the teacup and asked, “Shizi, you are born in the Yuchi family, so you must have some experience in military tactics and military management, right?”
Yuchi Zhao was very smart and could guess a little bit after hearing this. He smiled sincerely, “Fifth Brother, although I was born in the Yuchi family, but I came to the capital when I was a child… As for my academic performance, hehe, Fifth Brother, don’t you know it?”
When he said this, the Emperor and Prince Cheng couldn’t help laughing. When Yuchi Zhao and Yan Muning were studying in the academy, they were really naughty and were punished a lot.
Yuchi Zhao didn’t want to beat around the bush. The three people sitting in the room were all smart people. There were some things that he didn’t need to explain too clearly either.
He could guess that Prince Yi’s incident would definitely have a significant impact on some military power, and the various forces in the court were also quietly watching the direction of the wind. And his Yuchi family, which already had a large number of troops in hand and had guarded the western border of the Dasheng Dynasty for generations, had been coveted for many years, and there had been many plots behind the scenes.
Fortunately, his Yuchi family had been loyal for generations, and several emperors had been wise and benevolent rulers who did not listen to slander.
This is how their Yuchi family became what it is today.
However, Yuchi Zhao knew very well what his status was while staying in the capital, so it was impossible for him to enter the court.
Once he got any official position in the capital, his father and brother would be directly pushed to the forefront.
Yuchi Zhao knelt before the emperor and said, “Your Majesty, the minister understands your intention. But Your Majesty doesn’t need to explain it to the minister. The minister can’t and also doesn’t want to. Your Majesty surely understands the minister’s intention.”
“There are many people who can be used in Dasheng. Your Majesty, please let me be a leisurely person.”
After saying this, Yuchi bowed deeply to the ground.
The emperor was silent for a long time, then sighed, “How can you be so insightful at such a young age?”
“Ah Zhao, you and Lao Qi have been growing up by Zhen’s side since you were young. Zhen knows exactly what kind of child you are.”
The emperor looked at the young man kneeling in front of him with regret, “Would you be willing if your skills were no longer useful in this life?”
Just as the emperor said, Yuchi Zhao is a good son of the Yuchi family, no worse than his two brothers. This time, when it happened to be Prince Yi, the emperor hesitated for a long time and wanted to give him a chance to show his skills.
Since the emperor had changed his tone and called him by his nickname, Yuchi also called him as he did when he was a child: “Second Brother, all Chendi wish for is for Dasheng to be peaceful and for my father and brothers to be safe. Chendi will be content with that.”
“But if one day the country is in trouble and Second Brother needs Chendi to put on my armor and go to the battlefield, Chendi will never refuse.”
Yuchi Zhao answered seriously with every word he said.
Having said that, the matter has been concluded.
As for the other matter, it is something that no one wants to mention in front of Yan Muning. But now that all the crimes have been verified, there is no reason to delay it any longer.
“Ah Zhao, there is one more thing Zhen wants to ask you.”
When the emperor mentioned his youngest brother, his brows turned worried. “How do you think it’s appropriate to tell Lao Qi about Prince Yi’s matter?”
Yuchi Zhao was also worried. The day before yesterday, he went to Prince An’s mansion to play and happened to see Yan Muning being awakened by a nightmare during his nap. He really couldn’t bear to dig up these things and stab his good friend again.
After hesitating for a moment, Yuchi Zhao frowned and said, “If Your Majesty is assured, this matter will be handed over to Chendi. Chendi will discuss it with Young Hall Master Yun and then slowly talk to Prince An. Is it feasible?”
This thorny matter, for some unknown reason, ended up falling on Yun Jiangli’s head.
At this moment, Yuchi Zhao was squatting at the door of Jiayue Pavilion, glaring at Yun Jiangli like a thief: “If you don’t tell him, who will? You are the most suitable person to tell him about this matter!”
Yun Jiangli stood in the yard, looking down at Shizi ye squatting in an unpresentable manner, and frowned, saying, “I can’t say it now.”
If Yuchi Zhao hadn’t been afraid of being discovered by Yan Muning, he would have shouted already, “I didn’t ask you to say it today! Choose a suitable time and infiltrate slowly, slowly, understand?”
Yun Jiangli had a cold face.
He couldn’t understand why the two of them were hiding here like thieves when they were obviously talking about serious matters. Did this Shizi ye have some special hobby?
“The right time?”
Yun Jiangli frowned even more.
Yuchi Zhao looked very disappointed and gestured with his hands, “You don’t even understand this?”
“Aiyo, they all say that you are an old iceberg!” Yuchi Zhao showed a rather disgusted expression. “Didn’t you even move into his bedroom? Just whispering in his ear, pillow talk! Do you understand?”
Yuchi Zhao looked at Yun Jiangli’s increasingly cold eyes and assumed that he didn’t know how to do it, so he had to speak more carefully.
“Just, ai, when the moonlight land, the atmosphere is just right, you just… ah, express yourself freely! That’s called the right time, understand!”
Yun Jiangli was about to retort when he heard Yuchi Zhao continue, “Say, if you can’t even learn this, how can you, this princess consort, fight against those little goblins in the future?”
Yun Jiangli: “??”
What little goblins? Why are we talking about little goblins again?
Yuchi Zhao vowed, “You should take advantage of the fact that there is no concubine in the mansion now! Seize the opportunity and firmly establish your position in the mansion. Do you understand?”
Yun Jiangli: “……”
What is this? A concubine?!
Why is there a concubine too!
The author has something to say:
Yun Jiangli: I… I haven’t even married into the mansion yet, and I already have to start practicing house fighting in advance?
Yan Muning: Get lost! There is no such thing!
broo hahaha this is hilarious 🤣🤣 bro suddenly need to think about possibility to fight with concubines
Obrigada pela tradução!
