Chapter 535: Marriage?



The one who taught the prince horse riding was none other than Yun Rou.

Others might not have figured out what the two children were thinking, but Yun Rou could see that Chu Qianyi and Chu Qianxiu were not truly siblings.

Because Chu Qianyi almost fell off the horse last time, Chu Qianxiu actually risked his life and used himself as a cushion. As a result, Chu Qianyi was unharmed, but Chu Qianxiu almost broke a bone.

It’s a pity that the fact that they are nominally twin siblings has created an insurmountable gap between them.

"Hey!" Yun Rou poked Yuan Feng's waist with her elbow.

Yuan Feng turned to the side, his expression extremely unnatural, "Blocking your way? I'll get out of the way."

“No…I’m asking you, are you made of wood?!” Yun Rou wanted to bite him twice.

This guy is probably a real blockhead.

On the way back to the capital from the border town, Yun Rou wanted to discuss with him how to escort Bei Yanming. However, she rashly barged into Yuan Feng's tent and happened to see him bathing.

Normally, the girl should be shy about this matter, but Yuanfeng was even more shy than a grown girl and completely lost the courage to bare his shirt in public.

Yun Rou might have lost her mind, she blurted out: "Will I be responsible for you?"

What she actually wanted to say was "Will you be responsible for me?" After all, she is a woman and she will suffer a loss in this matter.

This made Yuanfeng misunderstand: "Do you think I will be responsible for you?"

He is a grown man, isn't this humiliating him? Ever since that day, Yun Rou avoided Yuan Feng, and Yuan Feng would take a detour when he saw Yun Rou. If the emperor hadn't been afraid that Chu Qian Xiu would fall off his horse again, and hadn't sent him here, he would never go to the place where Yun Rou appeared.

Yuanfeng moved two steps to the side, looking straight ahead with an expressionless face, really like a wooden sculpture.

But Yun Rou poked his waist again, "Hey! I heard that the emperor sent someone to the Grand Prince's Palace. Do you know about this?"

Yuan Feng jumped up as if his tail was stepped on. After a moment, he pretended to be calm and said, "I know."

"What was the eldest prince's reaction? Did he keep them? How many did he keep?" Yun Rou immediately started gossiping. After all, this matter could explain Chu Qianxiu's attitude.

Yuanfeng said nothing.

"You don't know either?" Yun Rou's mind was completely on this matter, and she temporarily forgot about the embarrassing incident many years ago.

But Yuanfeng had not forgotten. He looked extremely embarrassed. "You are already her aunt, why do you care about this?"

This topic suddenly brought Yun Rou back to many years ago. The reason why she could say that was that she must have some feelings for Yuan Feng.

It was precisely because of this feeling that over the years, Su Bei had repeatedly hinted at her wanting to get married, but she always said that she preferred fighting on the battlefield and remained single.

She glared at Yuan Feng fiercely, "Why am I an aunt? Don't you know what's going on?!"

Yuanfeng looked at him with disdain. Although he had not heard that Yunrou was close to anyone in these years, she was fighting with the soldiers all day long and there was always a man around her. Who could she blame for not getting married?

Maybe they just don't want to take responsibility! The two parted unhappily.

Fortunately, Chu Qianyi rode the horse very steadily today, and the event ended smoothly. As usual, she followed Chu Qianxiu back to Funing Palace.

It is said that the food in Funing Hall is better.

As soon as they entered the Funing Palace, the four palace maids who were left in the morning hurried forward to greet them.

Without waiting for Chu Qianxiu to speak, Chu Qianyi glared at the palace maids and said, "Why are you still here?!"

"Your Highness, I am..."

One of the brave ones wanted to explain, but before she could finish her sentence, Chu Qianyi had already half pushed and half dragged her out of the hall, "Don't be silly, he knows how to bully people, and later he will ask you to catch bugs and feed them, and maybe even let you coax the bugs to sleep. If you are not afraid, just stay!"

Oh my god! Catching insects is scary enough, but feeding them and sleeping with them is killing them!

Several palace maids immediately fled without caring about their manners.

Chu Qianyi looked at Chu Qianxiu smugly, "I'll let you bully others again!"

Chu Qianxiu was simply at the point of laughing and crying. This was a good thing, as his mind was almost entirely on the poisonous insect. He might even sleep with the insect in his arms at night. He really didn't need that kind of palace maid who would be easily startled.

But in this quiet night, he couldn't help but think about the questions he had been having for so many years.

His father had peach blossom eyes, his mother had almond eyes, and his brothers and sisters all had the same look, with him being the only exception.

And without exception, they all like literature or martial arts. The most unusual one is Chu Qianyi. She takes after her mother and likes to tinker with delicious food. Only he is the only one who is different. If he doesn't fiddle with those insects for a day, he feels like something is missing.

These insects are called Gu.

He decided late at night to go to the place where the legendary poison was prevalent to see if he could find the answer.

However, he had already prepared to leave, but was delayed. Early in the morning, Su Bei sent someone to summon him to Kunning Palace.

"I heard that Xiao Tangyuan drove out all the people your father sent yesterday?" Su Bei remained calm, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Chu Qianxiu hurriedly said: "Qian Yi doesn't know about this, please don't blame me, mother."

"So what do you think?" Su Bei held a handkerchief tightly in his hand.

"I am still young, so there is no rush for a trial marriage." Chu Qianxiu answered seriously.

Su Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Rou came yesterday and told her about the little Baozi and the little Tangyuan. In fact, not only Yun Rou noticed it, Su Bei also noticed something.

Little Baozi has always protected little Tangyuan since he was little. The bugs in his room are his treasures and no one else can touch them. But he won't say a word even if little Tangyuan plays with them.

She didn't object to the two of them being together. After all, they were not related by blood at all, but the problem was that it was difficult to make it clear.

What if he said it clearly, and Xiao Baozi didn't mean that to Xiao Tangyuan, and was instead hit by the fact that they were not his biological children? That was why Su Bei wanted to test him.

"My mother came to see you today because she wants to hear your opinion on something." Su Bei said in a deep voice, "Someone from the north has come. Our two countries have not invaded each other in recent years, so they want to make this relationship more stable."

Chu Qianxiu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Su Bei without blinking.

Su Bei took a sip of tea and said, "They want to marry us to a princess, or they want to marry a princess to us."

Chu Qianxiu didn't say anything for a while.

At present, Wu Kingdom has no adult princess, so Chu Qianyi is older. Wu Kingdom also has no adult prince, so he is older.

But he didn't want either of these.

"Your son... Your son is still young and wants to travel. I also heard that the north is bitterly cold. If Qian Yi really marries there, she might have trouble adapting! Mother, why don't you..."
