Chapter 74 Letter again
For the next few days, Liang Zhen still went to the military camp every morning, and only returned after noon. Zhu Yunxuan never asked what he was doing. He walked around the island with his son all day, enjoying the experience. Rare leisure time.
After entering late April, the island became hotter and hotter. Xu'er woke up from a nap in the afternoon, sweating all over her body. Zhu Yunxuan, who was sitting by the window reading a book, heard the movement. He turned around and saw the child half body hanging by the bed and crawling down with his butt pouted. He couldn't help laughing, and got up and picked him up.
"Daddy, Daddy, Xuer is hot, Xuer wants to eat iced sweet soup."
The child hugged Zhu Yunxuan's neck and acted coquettishly. Zhu Yunxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Good, wait for your father to come back and ask him to get it for you."
"Then why hasn't father come back?"
"You'll be back in a while, be good."
The child leaned on his shoulder and turned his head, his eyes fell to the window, he paused, "Yeah", and straightened up excitedly: "Daddy, the bird is here!"
Zhu Yunxuan turned around and looked at it, and it was indeed his peregrine falcon, who was stepping on the window lattice, holding out his chest and shaking his feathers as if he was deliberately teasing Xuer, and the child giggled when he saw it.
Zhu Yunxuan hugged the child, let him touch it enough, and then took out the letterhead from the bamboo tube tied to the peregrine falcon's feet. After reading the content written on it, he narrowed his eyes, frowned for a moment and then touched his son's head lightly. I asked him, "My dear, we'll go back in two days, okay?"
The child raised his eyes and looked at him: "Can I see daddy and father?"
"Yes," Zhu Yunxuan nodded his nose with a smile, "don't you miss them?"
"What about father?"
"Father still has some things to do, and he will come to us in a few days."
Xu'er nodded, seemingly understanding but not understanding: "Really?"
"Yeah." Zhu Yunxuan didn't say any more, he picked up a pen and wrote a reply letter to let the peregrine falcon fly out, picked up his son, kissed his cheek, and whispered to him, "Good baby, hook up with daddy, daddy just now with you. Don't tell your father what you said, and don't say you've seen the little bird, okay?"
"why?"
"Father, he's very busy, so let's not cause him any more trouble. Can the good baby promise Daddy?"
The child tilted his head to think for a moment, then raised his hand: "Okay, Xu'er is hooking up with daddy, Xu'er won't tell father."
Zhu Yunxuan hooked his fingers with a smile: "Good, Daddy's good baby."
When Liang Zhen walked into the door, he heard the laughter of the father and son: "Why are you so happy?"
Xu'er climbed down from Zhu Yunxuan and rushed to him: "Father, I want to eat iced sweet soup!"
Liang Zhen smiled and picked up the person: "Okay, I'll ask someone to do it for you."
He sat on the couch with the person in his arms, and seeing that Zhu Yunxuan was still reading, he asked him casually, "Why didn't you take Xu'er out to play today?"
Zhu Yunxuan glanced at the increasingly skinny child in his arms and shook his head: "The sun is too hot outside, let him calm down and play crazy."
Liang Zhen smiled, grabbed Zhu Yunxuan's hand beside the couch, and squeezed it lightly. Zhu Yunxuan looked at him inexplicably: "What?"
"What kind of prince does your majesty want?"
Zhu Yunxuan was stunned for a moment, then answered him after thinking for a moment: "Although Xu'er seems to be soft-hearted, it is only because he is young. I think he is quite courageous sometimes, and he should not be arbitrarily manipulated in the future. My brother said that he is studying. It's not bad. As soon as he opened the door, he could see that his talent was good. He had to learn everything that he should learn for the king. If he wanted to play, I wouldn't restrain him too much. If he can really become a talent, I will take him when he is weak. The throne can also be given to him."
Liang Zhen glanced at his son who was playing with the bamboo bunnies with his head down, and agreed with him: "That's good, you can be at ease when you can, but just like he is now, I think it's really boring to be an emperor. You have to put a lot of thought into it.β
Hearing the teasing in Liang Zhen's words, Zhu Yunxuan coughed in embarrassment. It is said that three years old look old. Xu'er is like this now, and it is true that he doesn't look like a king, but he was born to him. He has to recognize it: "Just take it slow, ... you will teach him more in the future."
Liang Zhen smiled and nodded: "That's natural, I can't teach the prince well, but it's not my dereliction of duty as the queen."
The child raised his head, not knowing what his father and father were discussing, and blinked blankly.
Mammy brought the sweet soup he wanted to drink, which was made from the island's specialty fruit and chilled in ice. Yun Xuan only poured half a bowl out for him, and put the remaining half bowl in front of Liang Zhen: "You Drink it all, Xu'er has a bad stomach, don't give him too much."
Liang Zhen scooped up a spoonful and fed it into his mouth: "Is it delicious?"
Zhu Yunxuan swallowed it whole and nodded casually: "It's okay."
Liang Zhen looked at him and narrowed his eyes lightly: "Is there something on my mind?"
"...No," Zhu Yunxuan smiled with him, "Why do you ask that?"
"It's nothing." Liang Zhen lowered his eyes and stirred the fruit in the bowl, then scooped another spoonful and fed it to Zhu Yunxuan's mouth.
Xu'er finished eating her half bowl, patted her stomach with satisfaction, and went on to play with the rabbit. They each ate the remaining half bowl, and Liang Zhen asked someone to remove the bowls and plates and put them on a chessboard. .
Zhu Yunxuan was a little absent-minded while twisting the chess pieces. Seeing this, Liang Zhen smiled and shoved the chess pieces into the chess box: "Since you don't want to play chess, let's talk."
Zhu Yunxuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, and pouted the corners of his mouth: "You can say whatever you want, or... you can talk about your experience here for the past three years."
Liang Zhen smiled softly: "Well, I think about it, when I went to Nanyang in the first year, I rescued Qin's father and son at sea, followed them to Rainbow Island, stayed there for half a month, and then my father came to visit Qin on the island. Old, our father and son recognized each other, and I followed him here."
"...How did you and General Xiao meet?"
"Although my father changed his name, he did not change his surname. General Xiao, who came from Dayan more than 20 years ago, can easily think of my father. My father brought me back to the island. At first, the people on this island told me about my origins. Everyone has doubts, except my father, other people actually donβt know what my identity was when I was in Dayan, they only know that I committed a crime and became a prisoner of the imperial court and had to escape overseas.β
Liang Zhen said with a grin, "But who am I? Just these big and rude people who have been on this island for almost 30 years, and all those shallow thoughts are on their faces, and I can see through them without guessing. , If it wasn't for my father who couldn't let them go, I wouldn't want to take care of this stall at all."
Zhu Yunxuan was speechless: "You are really not modest at all."
Liang Zhen grabbed his finger and lowered his head to kiss him, and continued with a smile, "After that, I followed my father around in the South China Sea, and even went to Java Island."
"Java Island?"
"Yeah, those people from Fanbang are really capable. They have a lot of good things in their hands, which are eye-opening for me. I will get them one by one from Your Majesty in the future."
Zhu Yunxuan laughed and said: "So, I really made a profit by marrying your queen."
"That's natural," Liang Zhen raised his eyebrows smugly, and sighed again, "My father died the next year, and after he was buried, I rarely left the island again, only occasionally intentionally or unintentionally. I asked people to inquire about some news from Dayan, yes, in the second year, I met His Majesty's brother here."
Zhu Yunxuan had some accidents. Zhu Yunjing had never mentioned this to him before, so he heard Liang Zhen sigh with a smile: "That time I went back to Rainbow Island to visit Mr. Qin, and His Majesty's brother took people there to do business, and he also brought people with him. Take his eldest son. We met by chance at the market. He was very wary of me. If it weren't for the fact that I was with a lot of people at the time, he might have asked someone to tie me and throw me into the sea to feed the fish. The child named Yuanbao bought two sets of shell necklaces and said that he would go back and give them to his younger brother."
"Two strings?"
"Yeah, it's two strings. I just thought he wanted to keep one string for himself. I didn't think that he actually had two younger brothers. Now that I think about Yuanbao's children who were seven or eight years old at the time, how can I still see it? If I had known that kind of gadgets earlier..."
"...how about knowing it earlier?"
"If I had known, I would have gone to the naval headquarters in Quanzhou to grab the child."
Zhu Yunxuan sneered: "Didn't you already go?"
Liang Zhen smiled and shook his head: "Until the news that you are coming to the south came back, I couldn't help but went to Quanzhou, and then I learned of Xu'er's existence from the mouths of others, but unfortunately the general military mansion is heavily guarded, and it is necessary to rob How can it be so easy for a child, I stayed outside for more than half a month, and then waited until the couple of Ding Guogong were gone, and the children went to the village outside the city alone to play. In fact, that time I wanted to take people away of."
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxuan frowned lightly, Xu'er looked up at them suspiciously when she heard her name, Liang Zhen smiled and pinched his chin: "My dear son, if you meet someone you don't know in the future, you will be as good-looking as you can be. Yes, you can't follow along, understand?"
Zhu Yunxuan: "..."
The child nodded obediently: "Xuan'er knows, Xu'er is not an idiot."
Liang Zhen said happily: "Yes, our Xuer is a little clever ghost."
Zhu Yunxuan frowned and asked him, "If that's the case, why didn't you take him away in the end?"
Liang Zhen looked at him with a smile: "You just left the capital at that time, and I took people away, didn't I make you worry? Anyway, you are coming to Quanzhou, and I have waited for three years, so why rushFor a while."
Zhu Yunxuan couldn't say what he felt in his heart for a while. In the matter between them, Liang Zhen was always so sure of winning, but at this moment, he couldn't hate it anymore: "You are sure that I will come to Quanzhou?"
The smile in Liang Zhen's eyes deepened: "My A Xuan is so soft-hearted, he is so kind to me, and even more so to Xu'er. Since you are in the south, it is impossible not to come to see your son."
Zhu Yunxuan lowered his eyes and smiled relieved after a brief silence: "You are right, I came here from the capital just to see him."
Liang Zhen held his hand again: "A Xuan, when this last matter is resolved, let's go back."
"Okay."
