Chapter 8: This King Will Not Marry
"No need, I'll just stand there." Zhan Beiyuan looked indifferent. He didn't want to come at first, but later he thought he should come in person.
He thought about it all night, but still couldn't remember what happened that night in the mountains behind Niulan Village six years ago.
What puzzled him even more was why he was the only one who forgot what happened after he fell into a coma.
And then there was his sudden hidden illness.
He now suspected that it was caused by the effects of the medicine or that Jiang Yunxi had done something to him.
Seeing his cold attitude and the look of not wanting to pay attention to her, Mu suddenly didn't know what to say.
At this time Jiang Chenyu walked in.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Han." Jiang Chenyu bowed and saluted. Her watery eyes looked at the man's cold, hard and resolute face, and her heart couldn't help but beat fast.
"Yeah." Zhan Beiyuan responded indifferently.
Seeing the man's expression of keeping strangers away, Jiang Chenyu walked over to Madam Mu and asked quietly, "Mother, why is His Royal Highness the Prince of Han here?"
Mu lowered her voice and said, "He's here to pick up Jiang Yunxi and the child."
Jiang Chenyu's face was full of surprise. She had heard Mu talk about the two children last night, but she naturally didn't believe it. Everyone in the capital knew that Prince Han had a hidden illness and was unable to have children.
How could Jiang Yunxi's child be his?
But now His Royal Highness Prince Han has come personally to the Duke of Yingguo’s Mansion to pick up the three of them, mother and son.
But it’s better to take it away.
"Congratulations, His Highness Prince Han. Are you planning to marry Sister Yun Xi? Otherwise, people will definitely gossip about her if she lives in Prince Han's Mansion." Jiang Chenyu said with a dignified smile.
Zhan Beiyuan looked at her coldly, "Do you care about her?"
"She is my sister, so of course I care about her." Jiang Chenyu said seriously.
"Since you care about her so much, shouldn't you, the fake daughter, leave the Duke of England's mansion? Otherwise, outsiders will definitely point fingers at her." Zhan Beiyuan looked indifferent and spoke in an unfriendly tone.
Mu: “…”
Jiang Chenyu: “…”
“Daddy!”
When Momo and Mianmian saw the handsome man in the front hall, they ran in quickly. They hugged each other's legs skillfully, without any sense of unfamiliarity.
After being hugged by the two little guys, Zhan Beiyuan felt as if his heart was being gently scratched by two small hands, feeling a little itchy, and a strange feeling surged in his chest.
As a new father, he was a little overwhelmed.
He had never been around children before and had no idea how to get along with them.
"Have you had breakfast?"
After thinking for a while, he finally found what he wanted to say.
Momo and Mianmian nodded and looked at him with their big innocent eyes.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
Where is Jiang Yunxi?
Why hasn't she come yet?
"What do you like to do?" Zhan Beiyuan continued to find topics. His childhood was not very interesting. Apart from studying, he practiced martial arts.
"I like reading." Mo Mo said. He had read all the books in Qingxu Temple that he could understand.
"I like practicing martial arts." Mianmian said with a smile, she loves wielding swords and knives.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
"Wow, you guys are so awesome. My master has also loved reading and practicing martial arts since he was young." Qi Yan saw that his master didn't know how to get along with the children.
I didn’t expect that the young master has the same preferences as the master.
Mo Mo and Mian Mian's eyes lit up, and they pestered Zhan Beiyuan to talk about his childhood. At first, Zhan Beiyuan spoke very stiffly, but gradually, under the admiring eyes of the two little guys, he became more and more natural.
When Jiang Yunxi came over, she saw her son and daughter holding their chins with their hands, looking at Zhan Beiyuan with squinting eyes, and listening attentively.
The man sat upright, looking serious as he spoke to them.
Seeing this scene, she felt relieved.
Her decision turned out to be correct.
"I greet His Royal Highness Prince Han." The old lady bowed with a smile on her face.
"Old lady." Zhan Beiyuan stood up quickly. The Duke of Yingguo's family had been loyal for generations, and he admired them from the bottom of his heart, especially the old Duke of Yingguo.
If it weren't for him in that battle, Tenglong Kingdom would have lost several cities.
"Yun Xi and Mo Mo Mian Mian have been in Qingxu Temple for many years. They don't understand many of the rules. I hope King Han can be more understanding." The old lady naturally hopes that they can get along well.
Yun Xi said she didn't want to get married, but that was because they were not familiar with each other yet.
After being together for a long time, feelings will develop.
Zhan Beiyuan glanced at the woman standing next to him and said, "Don't worry, old lady. I am not an unreasonable person. As long as she doesn't go too far, I can tolerate her."
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
Is she that kind of person who goes overboard?
A moment.
The group escorted Zhan Beiyuan and the others out of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion.
Jiang Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the carriage drive away, but she also felt a little conflicted. She didn't want Jiang Yunxi to come back to the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, but she also didn't want her to live in Prince Han's Mansion.
"Chenyu, come with me." The old lady looked at her and said, letting her choose her own path next.
"Yes." Jiang Chenyu felt a little uneasy. She could feel that her grandmother was clearly biased towards Jiang Yunxi.
…
Prince Han's Mansion.
"You will live in this courtyard from now on and can move freely in the palace, but you are not allowed to enter my courtyard without my permission." Zhan Beiyuan looked at Jiang Yunxi seriously and said.
Jiang Yunxi said readily, "Okay."
She had no interest in his main courtyard.
"If you need anything else, ask Butler Bai. He will arrange it for you." Zhan Beiyuan continued. Since he had taken them back, he would naturally not treat them unfairly.
"Your Highness, when do you plan to announce the identities of Momo and Mianmian to the public?" Jiang Yunxi said. She wanted the two children to have their own identities, and then she would pave the way for them.
"I will go to the palace today to ask for permission to grant them status. As for you, I have no intention of marrying you." Zhan Beiyuan told her directly.
As soon as she arrived, she asked him to announce the identities of the two children.
If he didn't marry her, who knows what the people would say.
But he still had no plans to marry.
After all, he still hasn't figured out what happened that night six years ago.
"Oh, I don't plan to marry you either." Jiang Yunxi said with a harmless smile.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
Sudden.
Butler Bai walked in and said, "Your Highness, Eunuch Qin has arrived, bringing with him an imperial edict and a large number of gifts. He said they are for the young prince and princess."
Eunuch Qin walked into the courtyard with a beaming smile. He bowed first, then presented the imperial edict, "Your Highness Prince Han, this is the imperial edict drafted by the Emperor Retired, announcing the identities of the young prince and princess."
Zhan Beiyuan took it and opened it. There was a jade seal on it. He handed it to Jiang Yunxi and said, "Can you rest assured?"
Jiang Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief after reading the content. "No matter whether the prince will marry a princess or have more children in the future, I hope the prince will treat Momo and Mianmian well."
After the two children were born, she worked hard to raise them. She hoped that they could live a good life with or without her in the future.
"They are my children, I will naturally treat them well. Also, I will not marry a princess, nor will I have other children." Zhan Beiyuan said very clearly that having an heir would completely shut his father up.
