The Empress called for dinner after picking out her favorite handicrafts, and left Xue Yao to eat with her before dispersing.
The dispersal is of course everyone's first compliment to the Queen.
Sent away the Queen, the Prince of the two should be to the time of the wedding, but the Queen did not forget to take the Prince Consort with her when she left, together to the Buddha Hall.
The Empress also left herself a small watery palace maid to serve the Crown Prince to wash the dust.
Crown Princess did not show dissatisfaction and aggression, on the surface mute, but will seize the Empress a moment of inattention, such as the hunger to look back at the Prince.
With each glance, she tugged at the corners of her mouth apoplectically.
Xue Yao could even imagine from the contented look in her eyes as she lowered them, how much she had missed her husband over the past two months.
Apparently, the Crown Princess does not care about a night of copying scripture, and probably does not care much about the little palace maid left behind by the Empress, the Crown Prince came back safe and sound, enough to fill all the trepidation in her heart.
The Prince seemed to feel the satisfaction that this extra glance brought to his wife.
So the crown prince followed the empress's carriage all the way out of the crown prince's palace, and then to the corner of the palace alley, just to let his wife steal a few more glances at himself.
The Crown Princess was worried that his actions had displeased the Empress, and the contented look on her face as she turned back frequently turned to panic, after which she even secretly waved her hand at the Crown Prince, begging him to go back.
In her haste, the Crown Princess's handkerchief shook off, and was about to grab it, when a gust of wind blew and told her to raise her hand and grab it in the air.
She did not intend to recover the paddle, but her remaining light saw the Crown Prince arrowing forward, lifting his hand to intercept the fluttering paddle, catching up with the stepping carriage with his long legs, and walking to her side.
The paddle was tucked back into her hand, and the Crown Prince whispered to her, "Don't worry."
The Dauphin froze, violently, and she didn't know what else she wasn't comfortable with.
Her beloved man had returned safely to the capital, and she had long been relieved.
The crown prince was amused by her clueless appearance and moved to her ear, whispering, "Lone will not touch other women."
The Prince Consort's body began to tremble slightly.
The man was already making her deer in headlights just by looking at him from afar.
His words of love were more than she could consume, enough to keep her heart in turmoil this night in the Buddha Hall.
Although that sentence was only a promise of a responsible nature in Lu Jinan's opinion.
Lu Jinan looks handsome and meticulous, the actual feelings, with a few brothers is a lineage of brown old man, does not know how to coax women.
For him, the duty was not to fail his wife as his father had done.
Before the age of eight, Lu Jinan had also seen his father and mother who were like glue, and had also felt almost all of his father's love.
Until Hua Guifei appeared and the Sixth Prince was born.
Father had taken all of his limited energy from him and Mother and moved it to Hua Guifei's palace.
The young Lu Jinan once accompanied the Empress staring out the window of the palace door day after day, looking forward to the Emperor down the dynasty, to the Palace of the Reserve Show to change into a bright yellow and silver and white regular clothes, with their mother and son playful talk and laugh.
But it never waited.
Frankly speaking, Lu Jinan had once hated Noble Consort Hua and the newly born Sixth Prince.
But then later, when Consort Shio entered the palace, and Consort Hua Gui's mother and son repeated the tragedy of him and the Empress, the Crown Prince gradually relieved himself and figured it out.
The fault is not with the Hua Guifei who took away Father, the fault is with Father himself.
Lu Jinan didn't want to repeat the mistakes made by his father.
The image of the prince and his wife being sent off like glue, looking at Xue Yao could not help but show the jealous look of a single dog.
In his last life, because he was abandoned by his parents and had to serve dishes to earn rent in addition to working and studying, Xue Yao felt that he was in too poor a condition to fall in love and wreak havoc on little girls.
He was thinking of graduating from a prestigious school and flying high, and then starting a sweet relationship, but he didn't wait until he graduated, and then he was in a plane crash.
How tragic!
However, only seventeen years old in this life, he was rewarded by the Empress with one thousand taels of silver, with a purchasing power equivalent to more than six hundred thousand dollars in bonuses.
The future is bright and he must find a ......
Xue Yao was startled by the thoughts that popped into his head.
Why is it that what comes to mind in an instant is: "I must find a dashing and responsible person like the Prince"?
Have two lifetimes of singles been so unproductive that they are afraid to envision little girls!
Xue Yao felt that his mental state was dangerous, and he had to go back and reflect on it!
Originally, bidding farewell to the Crown Prince's Palace, Xue Yao was going to return to the Green Vault Palace to coax the little fat cub, but the Empress rewarded her with a bunch of things, and the Crown Prince arranged for a carriage to send Xue Yao out of the palace and back to her home.
It couldn't be that the Crown Prince's attendants could drag a bunch of things around to the Green Vault Palace and wait for him to coax the child.
Xue Yao could only follow the carriages and horses out of the palace first, waiting for tomorrow to go to the academy before coaxing the fat cub.
Back at the Zhou Mansion, mother Zhou Rui and grandfather Zhou Chong were both stunned by the reward that Xue Yao had gotten.
Xue Yao refused to take the examination, Zhou Chong has not been optimistic about this grandson, and now see him as a companion reader, won the honor of the current prince, the heart can not help but impress him.
Xue Yao rummaged through some of the specialty crafts that he had bought back from Jinling City to give to his mother, and the one thousand taels of bounty silver that he had asked Zhou Rui to save for himself.
But Zhou Rui felt that her son had grown up, and after leaving the Xue Mansion, she had been without a husband to be the head of the household, and she wanted Xue Yao to set up an account in a money bank on his own, to be a small head of the household, and to manage his own belongings.
*
Early the next morning, when he went to the academy to answer the dawn call, the Sixth Prince carried Xue Yao's rabbit as well.
The rabbit looks quite a bit more refreshed than yesterday and smells great.
The Sixth Prince was particularly attentive and gave Xue Yao a lot of experience in raising rabbits.
Xue Yao was very afraid of raising the little meat rabbit to death, after all, it was hard to find a second rabbit that was so sluggish, so he very carefully took down the Sixth Prince's tips on raising rabbits.
The Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince took a step back and walked into the schoolhouse.
"I think that swordplay focuses mainly on flexibility and versatility, and I'm probably more suited to a frontal-facing weapon." The Fifth Prince had spent the entire journey making excuses for his swordsmanship blunder the day before, hoping that the Seventh Brother would understand that his brother's strengths did not lie here.
The Seventh Prince did not utter a word, silently listening to Fifth Brother's chatter, originally not much emotion, until the moment he walked into the school hall, the Seventh Prince's cool shallow pupils, landing on the desperate little companion who was mingling with Sixth Brother-
"Touch it here." The Sixth Prince pointed to a spot of soft fur on the rabbit's head.
Xue Yao carefully gently touched it with his index finger, and the rabbit immediately squinted comfortably.
"So well-behaved!" Xue Yao looked at the Sixth Prince in surprise.
"It's very comfortable to touch the fur here, and when it's nervous, it behaves when you touch it like this." The Sixth Prince laughed.
"So divine?" Xue Yao was incredulous.
The Sixth Prince pursed his lips and smiled, bringing his face closer to Xue Yao, "If you don't believe me, try touching me and I'll be good too."
The two hadn't felt the sharp-edged gaze of a certain Dragon Ao Tian behind them.
The Fifth Prince also didn't notice what Xue Yao and his Sixth Brother were talking about, still basking in the facade of being his older brother, he continued to babble on and on with his explanation, "Do you know what I need? Not a sword nor a bow, but a pair of Star Shattering Hammers, a hammer to swing over and directly smash the opponent's head!"
"Is this appropriate? He is after all Master's sixth brother." The Seventh Prince narrowed his eyes and stared at the back of the Sixth Prince's head, leaping to reply.
"I meant to smash my opponent's head, I didn't mean to smash Sixth Brother's head!" The Fifth Prince was not pleased, "Did you listen to your brother seriously!"
The Fifth Prince shouted at the top of his voice, causing Xue Yao and the Sixth Prince to turn their heads at the same time.
"Your Highness!" Xue Yao's eyes lit up as he picked up the rabbit and ran to the little chubby cub, gently stroking the rabbit's head and showing off, "Look, how well-behaved is this little guy? He especially listens to me."
The Seventh Prince glanced at the rabbit in his arms, and his face did not fluctuate.
The Fifth Prince also looked at the rabbit and turned his head to ask the Seventh Brother, ''Isn't this the silly rabbit that you ran to the Imperial Cuisine to look for half a day the other day? It's well bred, isn't it? That day I saw that its fur was half bald, and it was cornered and bullied by a black rabbit, and thought for sure that it couldn't be raised, but I didn't expect that its fur would grow back now."
"......"
What? The Seventh Prince also went to the kitchen to look for rabbits?
The smile on Xue Yao's face faded ......
The little fat cub must have gotten ahead of the stupid bunny!
After realizing that the fake rabbit in her arms was exposed, Xue Yao looked at the Seventh Prince in horror-
The Seventh Prince pursed his lips at him, polite but not murderous.
Done.
Xue Yao felt like he was the little white rabbit that had been bullied bald by the black rabbit at the moment, trembling under the gaze of the Black Dragon Ao Tian.
"This is the rabbit Sixth Brother gave Yao Yao." The Seventh Prince stared at Xue Yao, but was answering Fifth Brother's question, "The one from Master is still being kept in the house."
The Fifth Prince asked, "Why don't you hold it out and blow on it?"
"There are only a few handfuls of fur left, and when it blows, it's all bald." The Seventh Prince spoke of the True Destiny Rabbit's state of health, and then lowered his eyes to look at the rabbit in the arms of the Jaded Little Companion and said softly, "Yao Yao already has a new rabbit from Sixth Brother."
Xue Yao raised her hand and surrendered the rabbit to the Seventh Prince: "I picked this rabbit from the dining room yesterday, if your highness doesn't mind, take it and fry it."
The Seventh Prince coldly turned his head away, refusing to collect the rabbit.
The Sixth Prince rushed over to stop it, "Why eat it? Give it to me if you don't want it!"
He said he was going to carry the rabbit away!
Before the Sixth Prince's hand touched the rabbit, the Seventh Prince lifted the rabbit's ear with a shadowless hand and snatched it away, looking fiercely at Sixth Brother and coldly saying, "Yao Yao said to give it to my son."
Xue Yao: "......"
The confusion of persona caused by self-perception flaws would seriously affect the majesty of the Dragon Pride.
The Sixth Prince was still trying to fight for the custody of the rabbits, when the gentleman happened to arrive, and the young royals immediately took their places and behaved themselves well, and began the morning's hard study.
Although the Seventh Prince accepted Xue Yao's rabbit, the temperature of his little face still didn't turn warm, obviously still gambling.
Xue Yao could only find an opportunity to show kindness to the little chubby cub and inquire about the True Destiny Heavenly Rabbit's health, "Is the little white rabbit's appetite alright?"
The Seventh Prince stared at the book with downcast eyes and replied in a low voice, "No appetite, Yao Yao doesn't want it anymore."
Xue Yao: "......"
This little fat cub is totally alluding to himself on sight, isn't he?
Going with the Crown Prince to raise grain was not to stabilize the Crown Prince's position!
Otherwise the Third Prince will be in power, and you little fat kid will still be bullied every day!
Xue Yao looked at the little chubby cub's exasperated side face and suddenly lost it in his heart.
When will this child be like the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince and appreciate the plight of others?
A congenital emotional perception disorder is likely to be a lifelong inability to think of others, right?
Xue Yao felt a pang of loss in his heart.
Although he never expected the Seventh Prince to give him the same level of care and response, but when he thought that he was running around for the little fat cub and even pressed his life, but he couldn't even get the most basic understanding, his heart was still more or less a bit aggrieved.
Xue Yao sulked and started reading.
The chubby little cub ignored him, and he gambled on ignoring the chubby little cub.
After school, the fifth prince was in a hurry to go to sword practice and greeted a few younger brothers to rush to the schoolyard at a fast pace.
"Let's rehearse that sword stance from last time again." The Fifth Prince pulled the Seventh Prince in front of him and sternly instructed, "You're not allowed to change your own moves like last time, you have to follow the sword moves."
The Seventh Prince ignored him.
Xue Yao walked behind them, pretending not to care about the little chubby cub and walking with his own head down.
Trying to get the chubby cub to learn to actively ask how he feels!
The Sixth Prince turned around and walked over to Xue Yao, "Why don't you let Seventh Brother leave the rabbits here with me to raise? His own rabbits are almost bald, and you're giving them back to him?"
Xue Yao which has the heart to care about the rabbit, but do not want to perfume the warm baby, can only turn his head to explain, "That rabbit is not the seventh prince to raise bald, it is by has been a black rabbit ...... Oh!"
Not paying attention to his feet, Xue Yao stepped on a round stone, stumbled, and leaned back-
In an instant, the Sixth Prince slowly opened his eyes round, wanting to reach out to assist, but it was already too late.
The Seventh Prince who was walking in front of him turned around in a lightning bolt and rushed in with a single step, raising his hand to stabilize Xue Yao's arm.
Xue Yao stood firmly on his feet and looked at the little fat cub in surprise, "Your Highness?"
This little fat cub is really putting a radar receiver on him, isn't he!
How did you know he was wrestling when you walked in front of him! And what's with the horrible reflexes!
The Seventh Prince let go of the little companion's arm with a look of disgust, and rebuked without mercy, "You can't stand steadily as soon as you step on a stone, do you want me to carry you around all day long?"
Xue Yao immediately lowered his head and kicked the stone to argue, "This stone is too big, I tripped over it, it's not like I've ever fallen before!"
The Seventh Prince grunted coldly and questioned, "Didn't fall? Who was it that yesterday in the North Garden--"
Halfway through his sentence, His Highness suddenly realized that revealing this matter would expose his own disgraceful behavior yesterday, when he "couldn't wait for the young companion to come to the door to ask for an audience and had to follow him personally".
His Highness hurriedly shut up and looked away, coolly grunting.
After grunting, he also slanted his eyes disgustingly at Silly Yao Yao, with a look that clearly said, "What will you do without Master?"
It's a real pain in the ass for His Highness!
