Chapter 39
"Father, Luo Tingshi has proposed to me again."
Yu Zhi lay beside the cradle and tapped the kitten's forehead with his finger. The kitten raised its head alertly and stretched out its two little paws to reach for his finger in the air.
Ye Jiang looked at Yu Zhi who was playing with the two babies and asked him, "What do you think?"
"I..." Yu Zhi was stunned. His sister held his fingertips. He sighed distressedly, "I don't know."
Ye Jiang ruthlessly exposed him: "You know, you already have the answer in your heart."
The answer in my heart...
Yu Zhi lowered his head in silence.
The fingers felt wet, and the kitten was licking his index finger excitedly. As she licked, she opened her little mouth and swallowed Yu Zhi's fingertip in one bite. The two little fangs that had just grown out came up and nibbled on his finger.
After Luo Tingshi left, the longing that grew in his heart clearly told him—
He liked Luo Tingshi, and he wanted Luo Tingshi to always be with him.
It is reasonable and logical for him to marry Luo Tingshi.
Luo Tingshi wrote back and suggested that after their marriage was announced to the world, they could then propose the matter of annexation to the officials of the two countries, which would be much easier then.
He thought so too.
But for some reason, when he saw the last sentence of the letter, he suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart.
"Xiaoyu, are you willing to marry me?"
Do you really want to marry him?
Yu Zhi wavered and looked up at Ye Jiang for advice: "I want to marry him, but I'm afraid..."
Ye Jiang smiled and said, "It's normal. Many people have pre-marital phobia. Don't be anxious. Think it over before responding to him."
"I see."
Yu Zhi raised his fingertips and caught a kitten.
The kitten was happily chewing on the finger in its mouth, when its body suddenly hung in the air. It flapped its wings twice in fear, and then hugged Yu Zhi's hand with all four paws in panic and curled up into a ball.
"Meow~"
When the cry of milk rang out, Yu Zhi's heart softened. He pinched his sister's neck to rescue her and asked her in a low voice: "Do you want to see your other father?"
The kitten didn't understand, so it opened its round eyes and meowed.
Yu Zhi: "You want to see him. Okay, I'll go write him a reply."
The kitten tilted its head: "Meow~"
-
A month and a half later, Yu Zhi and his entourage set out for Beijing.
After staying in Gu Yue for a long time, Yu Zhi is now in good health and it is time to return to Beijing.
It was late winter and the wind and snow were gradually subsiding.
We didn't encounter any heavy snow blocking the roads along the way, but some parts of the road were covered with ice, making it difficult to walk.
As we walked, the ice melted and the river opened. The gray sky took on a new hue of blue, and the withered branches were adorned with fresh green. By the time we reached the capital, willows were shrouded in mist, and a riot of color clashed in vibrant colors.
From winter to spring, I finally returned to Beijing.
All officials were waiting at the city gate to welcome the emperor. Yu Zhi stepped off the carriage, glanced at the officials kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile, "Please stand up quickly, everyone."
He helped Li Xiang, who was at the front, to his feet. Li Yupeng felt relieved. "Your Majesty, you are finally back. I have something to report to Your Majesty."
Yu Zhi suppressed his smile and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Yupeng whispered, "Two days ago, a delegation from the Sheng Kingdom arrived in Beijing. They arrived too suddenly and did not present proper documents. They came without the consent of our Yu Kingdom, which is against etiquette. I have ordered them to be detained in the Sifang Pavilion."
Yu Zhi's mind moved: "Who is the leader?"
Li Yupeng moved closer and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Emperor Shengguo."
Yu Zhi suppressed the smile on his face and said, "I'll go to Sifang Pavilion right now."
After riding his horse quickly for a quarter of an hour, Yu Zhi arrived at the gate of Sifang Pavilion.
"Who are you? Prime Minister Li has ordered that no one is allowed to enter without permission." The guard at the door looked solemn.
Yu Zhi hurriedly took out the identity token from his arms, but couldn't find it after searching everywhere.
I was afraid that I would fall off the car. The more anxious I was, the more confused I would become.
Yu Zhi suppressed his anxiety and said to the guard, "Go and call the staff out."
The two guards looked at each other. The short one on the left looked Yu Zhi up and down. Although the other party was young, he had an extraordinary bearing, as fresh as a spring willow, and had a heroic spirit.
Kyoto is full of nobles, and this young man must be an important figure. He quickly bowed and said, "I will go right away."
"Bang——"
When the Sifang Pavilion official heard the appearance of the person the guard was talking about, he immediately stood up. The armchair he was sitting on scraped across the bluestone floor and crashed heavily into the wall behind him, making a sharp noise.
He hastily straightened his clothes and walked quickly towards the door, repeatedly asking on the way: "Have you ever done anything rude to him?"
The guard was startled by the stern look on the staff's face and said hurriedly, "No."
The two of them quickly rushed to the door. The tall and straight young emperor caught the eyes of the official. He trotted forward and said anxiously, "I don't know..."
The emperor's gentle voice rang out, tinged with a barely perceptible impatience: "No need to say more, take me to see him."
The clerk bowed and led the way: "Please come in."
Yu Zhiben thought that waiting for a while would calm her heart and she would no longer want to see him so urgently.
Unexpectedly, within just a few breaths, he was overwhelmed by longing and wished he could grow wings to see Luo Tingshi.
It's really strange. The last time he saw Luo Ting, he clearly still felt a bit disgusted with that person and wanted him to stay away from him.
However, after not seeing each other for four months, all he had left for Luo Tingshi was longing for him.
Miss him.
I miss him so much.
Yu Zhi followed the curator to the house in the backyard and stopped in front of a door. The curator knocked on the door.
As the familiar footsteps approached, Yu Zhi suddenly felt a little homesick. He scanned himself up and down, and only when he was sure that there was nothing wrong with him did he raise his head.
Coincidentally, the person inside opened the wooden door.
Through half a door, their eyes met in the air.
In an instant, the world became quiet, as if only the two of them were left.
The raging fire rose up and burned away Yu Zhi's sanity. He couldn't help but rush into the house and throw himself into the man's arms.
The museum official was dumbfounded, his eyes fixed in disbelief on the two people hugging each other tightly, and he stood there in a daze.
The Emperor of Sheng suddenly raised his head and glanced at him with cold eyes.
The clerk was suddenly startled and hurriedly closed the door for the two of them.
Yu Zhi buried his head in the man's chest and said sullenly, "Luo Tingshi, why did you suddenly come to Yu Country without telling me in advance?"
"I want to give you a surprise."
The man answered with a smile, and the vibration caused by his words went through his chest and into Yu Zhi's ears. Yu Zhi only felt a tingling and numbness in his left ear, and his heart beat more violently.
Yu Zhi patted his chest and glared at the man: "As the king of a country, you entered another country without permission. Do you know that this action will be regarded as a provocation and threat? Aren't you afraid that they will kill you?"
Luo Tingshi smiled and said, "I calculated the date and knew you would return to the capital in the next few days. With His Majesty protecting me, who would dare to touch me?"
Yu Zhi snorted lightly and tapped the man's chest: "Don't act on your own again."
"I miss you."
The man's straightforward words entered Yu Zhi's ears. The narrow eyes in front of him were full of love, and Yu Zhi's eyelashes trembled slightly.
"These past four months have felt like years to me, and I've been thinking about you every day. How about you? Do you miss me?"
Yu Zhi lowered his eyes: "Isn't it written in the letter?"
Luo Tingshi caressed Yu Zhi's face, his calloused fingertips sliding down along the side of his ear, and gently lifted his chin: "I want to hear you say it in person."
Yu Zhi was silent for a long time, so long that the gazes falling on him became increasingly hot and sticky. He closed his eyes, made up his mind, and spoke loudly.
"I think about you day and night, and you are in my dreams. Are you satisfied?"
A low laugh sounded, and under the scorching eyes, the laugh seemed to have a bit of burningness, burning up and wrapping around his ears, making Yu Zhi's earlobes feel hot.
He suddenly jumped on the man, tied his limbs tightly, and whispered, "Go to the bed."
Luo Tingshi's eyes darkened and he walked towards the bed as ordered.
As he walked, he weighed the person in his arms and said with regret, "She's lighter, and she has less flesh on her body."
Yu Zhi leaned on his shoulder and said, "After the birth of the child, there will naturally be no more flesh."
Luo Tingshi said in a deep voice, "It's a pity that I haven't been by your side these past few months and haven't been able to take care of you personally."
Yu Zhi tilted his head and kissed him on the side of his face: "It's okay, we still have a future."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zhi suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes. He was pressed hard on the bed, and the man's strong body covered him.
Their lips and teeth intertwined, and the long-lost passion surged up in an instant.
Yu Zhi's heart, which had been empty for a long time, was finally filled. He hooked his arms around Luo Ting's neck and took the initiative to entwine his tongue with the other's.
The man paused for a moment, and then kissed her even more fiercely.
The temperature in the tent gradually increased.
After kissing for a long time, Yu Zhi was a little breathless, but he was reluctant to withdraw. Suddenly, a breath of air came into his mouth, and the stuffiness in Yu Zhi's heart was dispelled a little.
It was Luo Tingshi who was breathing for him.
Yu Zhi frowned and hugged the man tighter.
They kissed passionately for a long time before reluctantly separating.
Luo Tingshi raised his finger to trace Yu Zhi's eyebrows and asked him softly, "Where are the children?"
Yu Zhi leaned against his chest and replied lazily, "With my father, the emperor."
Luo Tingshi: "Can I meet them?"
Yu Zhi hesitated.
It takes six months for their members to transform into human form. The two babies are only four months old and still look like kittens.
Can he trust Luo Tingshi?
"You're worried that I'll see their true forms, right?" The man's slightly hoarse voice reached Yu Zhi's ears.
Yu Zhi was horrified: "When did you know this?"
Luo Tingshi smiled and said, "I was just guessing before, but now it's truly confirmed."
Yu Zhi gave him an angry look and said, "You're trying to trick me, you bastard!"
Luo Tingshi wrapped his arms around the slender waist of the person in his arms, and his thin lips moved from the slender neck to Yu Zhi's ear, coaxing her.
"My little cat, can you transform into your original form and show me?"
