After getting on the carriage, Sang Wen complained to Sang Yuan, "Brother Wang, since the prince offered to let us stay, it's such a great opportunity. Why don't you agree?"
"How dare you say that?!" Sang Yuan glared at him angrily. "You wasted a good opportunity! You knew Xue Ji loved to wander around and had bitten several people to death, so why did you secretly bring her here?! If Xue Ji had really bitten or killed the youngest son of King Lei Wu or General Qu, King Lei Wu and Qu Cang would definitely not let it go. They might even lead their troops to attack the Sang Kingdom! You almost caused a disaster! I shouldn't have brought you here!"
Sang Wen lowered his head and cried. He had never been scolded like this before. He felt wronged but did not dare to refute.
"Brother Wang, this matter cannot be blamed entirely on Awen. It was Xue Ji who secretly hid in the carriage and followed us." Sang Yun said.
"You too!" Sang Yuan glared at Sang Yun and said, "Since you've already discovered that Xue Ji was secretly following you, why didn't you take it seriously? You're usually such a smart person. Even father says you have a smart heart. How come your smart heart has become tarnished after meeting King Lei Wu?!"
Sang Yun lowered his head and accepted the scolding, not daring to argue.
"Don't you see? King Lei Wu is furious because Xue Ji almost bit Qu Cang's youngest son, and yet you're still following his lead and wanting to stay? What are you doing here?! Will it only make him dislike you even more?! You're usually the best at reading people's expressions, so how could you suddenly become so stupid?!"
"You ridiculed his beloved Wang Jun in front of King Lei Wu. Didn't you see from King Lei Wu's eyes how much he loves his Wang Jun right now? Do you think King Lei Wu is your father and Wang Jun Lei Wu is your father's concubines? Just a few words from you and he will lose his favor?!"
"Lord Lei Wu is indeed a difficult man to deal with. I was confused today, but don't worry, brother, I will never lose to him!" Sang Yun said with a firm look in his eyes. "After I go back, I will seriously reflect on it. When I see Lord Lei Wu again next time, I will definitely seize the opportunity."
Tao Yuan originally thought that the twins Sang Yun and Sang Wen would appear again soon, but he didn't see them for several months.
A few months later, the remaining Northern Rong nomads who refused to surrender were few and far between. Lei Yuan and Qu Cang worked together, achieving twice the result with half the effort, annihilating the Northern Rong nomads without a single survivor, forcing them to flee in all directions. With the arrival of warmer weather, and the Sang Nation joining forces with other smaller nations to suppress the Northern Rong nomads, their numbers rapidly declined, making it impossible for them to survive in the northern border.
The remaining number of Beirong nomads could no longer cause any major trouble, so Lei Yuan left some soldiers to garrison and then led his troops to Bei'an City. From now on, the matter of moving the capital could be officially carried out.
Lei Yuan completely controlled the initiative of moving the capital, which meant he had the greatest power. Many important official positions and powers would also be rearranged.
During the capital relocation process, the most excited were of course those of Lei Yuan's faction. They even suggested that Lei Yuan take advantage of this opportunity to proclaim himself emperor. However, Lei Yuan felt that the time was not yet ripe and that the matter of proclaiming the emperor would be discussed later. Officials all arrived at the new capital, Bei'an City, but Lei Yuan asked Emperor Wen to stay in the old capital for the time being and wait until the imperial palace was completed before bringing him to Bei'an City.
Therefore, the person with the highest power and status in Bei'an City is naturally Lei Yuan. Because the royal palace is not yet fully built, Lei Yuan and Tao Yuan are temporarily living in the palace. Princess Yunyang brought Lei Xiao to Bei'an City. Tao Yuan was overjoyed to finally see her son.
While Tao Yuan was playing with the children at the palace, Sang Yuan brought Sang Yun and Sang Wen to the palace. Judging from their attitude, Sang Yun and Sang Wen were planning to stay for a long time.
Tao Yuan knew that they came with the determination to successfully marry Lei Yuan, and Tao Yuan was also prepared to dash their hopes.
Since arriving in Bei'an City, Lei Yuan has been very busy. Now that he finally has some free time, Lei Yuan takes Tao Yuan to visit the lotus pond.
There were many lotus pods in the lotus pond in the palace. Because Tao Yuan said he wanted to pick lotus pods last night, Lei Yuan ordered people to arrange it early the next morning.
Lei Yuan personally helped Tao Yuan onto the boat. After Tao Yuan sat down, he rowed the boat a long distance with one hand without anyone else rowing it.
"Slow down, let me pick a lotus pod." Tao Yuan looked at the lotus pods and lotus leaves that quickly passed by him, and he didn't even have time to reach out his hand.
"There are better ones inside, go pick them." Lei Yuan continued to row the boat and stopped only when it reached the center of the lotus pond.
The dense lotus leaves were quite tall. Tao Yuan stood up and picked a few large lotus pods, broke them open to take out the lotus seeds, and sat down to peel the seeds and eat them.
Lei Yuan walked over and sat down beside him. Tao Yuan leaned in his arms and fed him a peeled lotus seed, but Lei Yuan bit his finger and wouldn't let go.
"You bit me and it hurt." Tao Yuan said deliberately, trying to make him let go.
Lei Yuan was very clear about how much force he used, but as soon as Tao Yuan cried out in pain, he immediately let go.
Tao Yuan leaned his head on Lei Yuan's shoulder, smelling the fragrance of the lotus leaves, and even his mood improved a lot. It had been a long time since they had been so quietly leaning against each other. This feeling of peace and tranquility was what Tao Yuan enjoyed most.
But Lei Yuan turned over and pressed him under him, reaching down to take off his pants.
"No." Tao Yuan held his hand, and said in a panic, "It's broad daylight, and there are so many people guarding the pool. They will hear us."
Tao Yuan thought about it and wondered why there were such thick cushions on the boat. It turned out that he had been thinking about doing this from the beginning.
"Let them hear it. Even if they were in the room, they heard a lot." Lei Yuan did not stop the movement of his hands. He pinched it a little harder, and Tao Yuan screamed and immediately let go.
"Don't..." Tao Yuan looked at him and said, "Not here."
Tao Yuan and his lover had done it in various places, but never on a small boat like this. He was worried that if Lei Yuan got excited, the boat would rock too much and throw them into the water. Furthermore, the lotus pond wasn't particularly large, so the noise they made would surely be heard by those watching on shore.
Lei Yuan kissed Tao Yuan, then touched him all over, teasing him until his whole body went limp, and then asked in his ear, "Do you want it?"
Tao Yuan replied with a confused expression, "Yes, quickly."
………………………………
The sound of the boat rocking on the water, the muffled groans and heavy breathing were all clearly heard from the water.
The guards on the shore were standing far away and could not hear it, but the servants standing nearby could hear it clearly. However, these servants had to take turns to keep watch. As Lei Yuan said, they had heard a lot, so they had practiced it a long time ago. They all stood with their heads down, as if they heard nothing.
Jiang Shuang saw Sang Yun and Sang Wen approaching from a distance, took a few steps forward, and waited for them to get closer before saying, "You two princes, please go somewhere else."
Sang Yun and Sang Wen exchanged a glance. Sang Yun looked at Jiang Shuang with a smile and said, "We heard that Wang Jun was picking lotus seeds in the lotus pond, so we came to join in the fun."
"The king has ordered that no one is allowed to approach the lotus pond." The pronunciation of the words "king" and "anyone" was aggravated by the frost.
"Since the king has given the order, we won't join in the fun. We'll just pick a few lotus pods and leave immediately." After saying this, Sang Yun was about to walk towards the lotus pond.
Jiang Shuang subconsciously reached out to stop them, but remembering what Tao Yuan had told him before, he did not stop them. He also gave the others a wink, asking them not to stop them either.
"I love lotus pods the most. The ones here are so beautiful." Sang Wen looked very excited. As if he couldn't wait any longer, he walked quickly to the edge of the pond and said to Sang Yun, "Brother, look, this one is the biggest. How about picking this one?"
Sang Yun was about to say yes, but as soon as he stood by the pool, he heard a sound that sounded strange to him. He concentrated and listened carefully, and immediately blushed.
"Wang Jun!" Sang Wen put his hand to his mouth and shouted loudly, "How many lotus pods did you pick?!"
Sang Yun took Sang Wen's hand and said, "Let's go. We can pick them again tomorrow."
"I'll pick a few more..."
Before Sang Wen could finish his words, he flew out with Sang Yun.
"ah!!!!"
Sang Yun and Sang Wen were completely caught off guard and flew far away with screams, then fell heavily to the ground. They both spat out blood at the same time and lay on the ground unable to move.
They were now experiencing pain they had never felt before, and were dizzy and had no idea what was happening.
Jiang Shuang walked up to the two of them and asked, "Are the two royal officials alright?"
The two of them had no way to answer him because their internal organs seemed to have exploded and the pain was so severe that they felt they were about to die.
Without Lei Yuan's order, Jiang Shuang didn't dare to let anyone move them and could only let them lie down.
Lei Yuan originally wanted to do it a few more times, but was disturbed by the twins, and Tao Yuan refused to do it again, so he could only get up and help Tao Yuan put on his clothes.
Tao Yuan's blushing face made Lei Yuan love him so much that he hugged him and kissed him again and again. When he was helping Tao Yuan put on his pants, he touched a certain place, so he rubbed and pinched it, making Tao Yuan's body soften again.
After a long time, Lei Yuan finally managed to get back to the shore and helped Tao Yuan get off the boat.
"Is he dead?" Lei Yuan asked expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty, I am not dead yet." Jiang Shuang replied after paying his respects.
"Call someone to carry him away and let the doctor treat him." Lei Yuan didn't even look at them. After he finished speaking, he hugged Tao Yuan and left.
"Yes." Jiang Shuang immediately asked people to get things to carry them.
Tao Yuan turned around and looked at the two men. He could tell from their looks that they were seriously injured. He had instructed Jiang Shuang early this morning not to stop them if the two men insisted on getting close to the lotus pond, because he expected Lei Yuan to be angry, but he did not expect Lei Yuan to hit him so hard.
Sang Yun and Sang Wen were carried back to their room for treatment. Their lives were saved, but their injuries would definitely take some time to heal.
Before Sang Yuan could figure out what was going on, Lei Yuan sent someone to discuss the marriage of Sang Yun and Sang Wen with him.
Two days later, Tao Yuan went to visit Sang Yun and Sang Wen.
"My king has a bad temper and is sometimes moody. He gets angry at any time, which makes the two royal ministers suffer." Tao Yuan said while sitting on a chair, looking at the two people lying on the bed.
The two men looked pale and could only remain silent as they listened to Tao Yuan's words.
"You two should take good care of your injuries and get better soon. The wedding is coming soon, and it will be a disaster if you can't get out of bed by then."
"Wedding?" Sang Yun looked at Tao Yuan with a puzzled look and asked, "Who's getting married?"
"Of course it's the wedding of the two royal nobles."
"Is King Lei Wu willing to marry us?" Sang Wen asked excitedly, and his face suddenly became a little redder.
Sang Yun also looked at Tao Yuan very excitedly. He thought that it was because Lei Yuan hurt them, so he felt guilty. If their brother went to talk to him again, Lei Yuan would agree to marry them.
"The second prince of our Donglai Kingdom wants to marry you two as concubines." Tao Yuan said with a smile.
"Second Prince?" Sang Yun's face immediately changed drastically, and he asked with wide eyes, "What Second Prince?"
Sang Wen was also stunned and didn't react.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, is the second son of His Majesty Emperor Wen of Donglai. Our King has already discussed with His Highness the Crown Prince that once your injuries have healed, we will send you two ministers to the old capital to be married." Tao Yuan stood up and said, "Rest well, my two ministers. Once you feel better, I will prepare a farewell banquet for you."
Tao Yuan turned around and walked out. He was actually quite disappointed because he still wanted to have some good fun with the twins. However, Lei Yuan was too impatient to see them and didn't even give them a chance to perform before he got rid of them.
