Chapter 101 We are friends, of course I have to protect you!
Zhu Xuezheng felt his heart was in his throat and asked hurriedly, "What's the matter?"
Chu Qingran placed her other hand gently on her lower abdomen. "Just now, the court doctor came to check my pulse and said that I'm pregnant. It's only been a month, and my pulse isn't very obvious yet, but I should be correct..."
Before he could finish his words, Chu Qingran saw Zhu Xuezhen burst into tears.
Men don't shed tears easily, but they do when they are sad.
Zhu Xuezhen was not sad now, but he still couldn't stop wanting to cry.
Fortunately, all the people sitting in this room are close friends, and everyone is in the same mood at this moment, and no one will laugh at Zhu Xuezhen.
Chu Qingran also felt her eyes warm, "Husband..."
Zhu Xuezheng quickly walked over to Chu Qingran and squatted down. "Qingran, don't cry. You should take care of yourself now! This is a good thing, a very good thing! I won't cry anymore!"
As he spoke, he wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve.
Chu Qingran was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Couldn’t she just use a handkerchief?
"Husband, you were in a hurry just now. Do you have something to say?" Chu Qingran asked curiously.
Zhu Xuezheng then remembered the important matter and hurriedly said, "It's Youning! She just told me that you should be pregnant in about a month. I was so excited that I hurried back, thinking of asking the court doctor to check you out, but I didn't expect you had already discovered it."
Chu Qingran didn't expect it to be like this.
After the surprise, there was immense gratitude.
"I am alive and able to have a child thanks to Youning!"
Princess Huainan hurriedly said, "That's right! I'll have someone prepare a generous gift and send it to Youning first. Once you're pregnant, you two can come and express your gratitude. That will be more formal!"
Neither Chu Qingran nor Zhu Xuezhen had any objection and immediately agreed.
...
Yu Youning ran out of the Imperial College in one breath and saw Chu Huaixu standing beside the carriage waiting for her.
"Youning, let's go! Let's go back and eat!"
When Chu Huaixu spoke, the smile on his face was extremely bright.
Yu Youning now lives in Penglai Pavilion.
Penglai Pavilion is located in the imperial city.
In other words, the two of them now live in the same yard.
Living in the same place and going to school in the same place, it was natural for them to ride in the same carriage.
After getting in the carriage, Chu Huaixu asked Yu Youning, "Youning, what did Xuezheng say to you?"
"Xue Zheng asked me to represent Dayong in the competition, and I said I wanted to go home and ask my father and mother."
"Prince, do you know what the competition is?"
"What are we going to compete in? I don't know much!"
"Xue Zheng said that if we win, everyone in Dayong will be very happy, but what if we lose?"
As Yu Youning asked questions one by one, Chu Huaixu's expression became serious.
"The competition between the three nations has always been different in terms of both format and content. I don't know what this year will be like yet."
"If we lose, we'll inevitably be blamed by everyone."
"Youning, don't feel any pressure, and don't worry about what Xuezheng says. Just follow your own ideas. If you want to participate, then participate. If you don't want to participate, then don't participate."
Although the children's group is open to participants aged five to ten, according to records from previous years, the youngest participant was eight years old.
Yu Youning is only five years old, and it is a bit too much to ask her to participate in the competition.
But Chu Huaixu could also understand Zhu Xuezhen's thoughts.
Dayong has lost twice in a row, so naturally it doesn't want to lose again.
Although Yu Youning is young, she knows a lot. If she participates in the competition, maybe she can win?
But... he didn't want to embarrass her, didn't want to force her, and didn't want to put such a heavy burden on her tender shoulders.
Yu Youning held her chin with both hands and looked at Chu Huaixu without blinking, "Will you participate?"
Chu Huaixu didn't give an immediate answer after hearing this.
After thinking for a while, Chu Huaixu said, "I want to participate."
As the crown prince and heir to the throne, he naturally wants to shoulder the burden at this time.
He also knew how much pressure he would face and how many people would oppose him if he wanted to participate.
But he still wanted to give it a try.
"Since you're participating, I'll join too!"
Chu Huaixu looked at Yu Youning in surprise, "Youning, what did you say?"
"You didn't hear clearly?" Yu Youning blinked. "You couldn't hear clearly even though you were sitting so close? Is there something wrong with your ears? Let me take a look for you!"
Chu Huaixu was at a loss for words when Yu Youning thought he had an ear problem.
"There's nothing wrong with my ears. I just can't believe it." Chu Huaixu became more and more nervous as he spoke. "Youning, why did you join me if I joined?"
"Aren't we friends?" Yu Youning answered as a matter of course, "I also promised mother that I would play with you more often. Your health is not good, so of course I have to protect you!"
Chu Huaixu kept looking at Yu Youning, looking at her clear and serious eyes, and sighed slightly in his heart, but was still very happy.
"Yes! We are good friends now!"
As for the future——
"We'll still be good friends in the future!" Yu Youning said crisply.
Chu Huai Preface, "..."
Sure enough, Yu Youning didn’t listen to the words that the girl of destiny must marry the prince, and didn’t take it to heart.
After all, she is still young, so we can talk about these things later.
After the carriage entered the imperial city, it soon stopped at the gate of Penglai Pavilion.
Yu Youning jumped off the carriage and waved to Chu Huaixu, "I'm going back!"
Chu Huaixu originally wanted to have lunch with Yu Youning, but now, he wanted to see his father more, so he could only wave goodbye to Yu Youning.
Yu Youning trotted into Penglai Pavilion and smelled a rich fragrance as soon as he entered.
"Daddy! Mommy! Grandpa! Grandma! I'm back!"
Just after he finished shouting, Yu Youning heard the slightly sad voice of Marshal Wen.
"Youning called everyone but Grandpa. Grandpa is so sad!"
Yu Youning trotted over to Marshal Wen and hugged his arm, "Grandfather! You're here too! Let's have lunch together!"
Marshal Wen knew that for Yu Youning, eating was the most important thing, "Okay! Let's eat!"
Let’s talk about other things after dinner!
The meals in Penglai Pavilion are of the same standard as the emperor's imperial meals.
The more dishes, the better the taste.
Yu Youning enjoyed the meal and even shook his head a little.
Seeing Yu Youning like this, Yu Tingwan and others also laughed and ate more happily.
In the Queen's Palace, the Emperor and the Queen were looking at Chu Huaixu with serious expressions.
"Xu'er!" the Queen said earnestly, "Your health has just begun to improve. You should take good care of yourself and not overwork yourself! Leave the competition to others!"
The Emperor also said, "Xu'er, your mother is right. Your health is more important. And you are the crown prince. If the children's group loses, it will not be good for your reputation!"
Huo Yun'an didn't leave after he came back, just waiting for the competition. He would participate in the youth group, and with him there, they would definitely win.
I have sent a letter to Prime Minister Wen, asking him to bring Wen Xiangli back to the capital as soon as possible. Wen Xiangli is ten years old this year and is just old enough to join the youth group. With him around, there shouldn't be any problems.
As long as the three groups win two, Dayong will win! The children's group can just compete casually! "
Chu Huaixu did not change his mind because of the emperor's words. His expression was even more determined than before. "Father, this competition is extremely important. We must be absolutely sure! Since we have made preparations, we must be fully prepared. I want to win!"
Whether it's the toddler group, the teen group, or the youth group, we all have to win!
This year, Dayong must avenge its previous shame!
The emperor was a little surprised when he heard Chu Huaixu's words.
But looking at Chu Huaixu's expression and eyes, the emperor also became excited.
All wins!
It's so tempting!
As the emperor, he naturally wanted to win everything and enhance the prestige of the Yong Kingdom.
But it is not so easy to win everything.
Seeing the emperor's hesitation, Chu Huaixu spoke again, "When I just came back, I was talking to Youning about this matter. Youning said that she would also participate and that she would protect me.
In addition to Erchen and Youning, we can also add Huo Qingchen. If the three of us work together, we might actually win."
This time, the emperor was really moved.
Chu Huaixu is intelligent, Huo Qingchen is born with supernatural powers, and Yu Youning is blessed by fate and is proficient in medicine.
If the three of them work together, maybe they can actually win?
Thinking this way, the emperor finally made up his mind, "Okay! Then I'll do as you say!"
Chu Huaixu instantly became happy, "Thank you, Father! I will definitely not let you down!"
The queen wanted to speak, but the two of them had already made the decision. Even if she spoke, it would not change anything, so she could only swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
I just hope that with Youning here, everything will be safe!
...
Penglai Pavilion.
After the meal, Marshal Wen explained his purpose, which was naturally for the competition.
When Yu Mubai heard this, he frowned, "Penglai Island is not in a position to get involved in this matter..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Yu Youning speak in a baby voice.
"Grandfather, I have just made an agreement with the Crown Prince! I will participate in the competition with him."
One sentence shocked everyone twice.
Youning is going to participate!
The prince is also going to participate?
Such a big thing, a five-year-old and an eight-year-old child, just decided like that?
Marshal Wen couldn't care less about the Crown Prince. He just smiled and said to Yu Mubai, "Island Master, I know Penglai Island can't participate, but Youning is my granddaughter, a Dayong person! Why can't she participate?"
As for whether Wen Shiyan married into the Penglai Island or not, and whether Yu Youning took her mother's surname, it had nothing to do with the fact that she was the granddaughter of the Wen family!
At this point, Yu Mubai looked at Yu Youning and could no longer object.
But he still said, "Then my husband and I will leave before the people from Nanzhao and Xiliang arrive."
Marshal Wen sighed, a look of guilt on his face. "You've only just arrived and haven't spent a few days with Youning Tingwan, but you're leaving because of this..."
"You can't say that." Yu Mubai smiled and shook his head. "Why don't we just walk around and come back after the competition is over?"
Although he said so, Marshal Wen knew that they probably would not come back.
At least not in the short term.
We can only let Yu Youning and Yu Tingwan go back to see them after the competition!
