Extra 3: Marriage
In the Central Plains, you cannot call your husband by his name; you can only call him "husband, sir."
Chu Yun was a little shy. He had never called anyone like that before. At such an age when he was just beginning to fall in love, his other half turned out to be a man. Chu Yun felt a little emotional.
Shen blushed when he heard this sweet name. He wanted to get closer to his little princess, but he didn't know how. His mother would hug his father and rub against him to express her love, so he followed suit and rubbed against Chuyun.
——"Gurgle~"
An embarrassing sound was heard. Chu Yun had been hungry for a long time, but he didn't expect his stomach to be so uncooperative that it actually cried out loudly.
When his partner is hungry, as a husband he has the obligation to feed his partner. Shen is usually very lazy and is unwilling to do extra work, but he is busy again and again for his partner.
The only food available was bacon and flatbread, and the soup had already solidified, so Shen lit a fire again and heated up some food for his companion.
"Thank you, husband."
"Thank you, of course."
Shen worked very seriously. He fiddled with the flames very skillfully. The flames seemed very gentle as they passed over his fair face. Chu Yun felt that this little prince was not as bad as the rumors said. He spoke and acted with the innocence and naivety of a child. In short, he was much better than the people in the capital.
"Eat it, hot."
Chu Yun wanted to frown as soon as the pancake entered his mouth. It was dry and hard and he couldn't bite it at all. He barely used his teeth to grind a little bit off and chewed it in his mouth. Maybe because he was hungry, the more he chewed, the more delicious it became.
Shen was serving himself some broth, which contained large chunks of beef hind leg meat cooked in milk. It smelled good.
Chu Yun didn’t want to eat anymore after eating a little. He was too sleepy and it was already very late.
"No, my husband, I'm so sleepy."
Shen immediately put away the pots and pans and went to bed to continue what he had not finished.
Chu Yun drank the milk, and the fragrance on his body had a faint milky smell, which went straight into his nose. Chu Yun fell asleep very quickly, because he had taken the medicine and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.
Shen then came over and fiddled with his little princess. He hugged Chu Yun and sniffed his body, looking for the place with the strongest fragrance.
From the neck all the way down, buried in and bit it, then it became quiet.
He sighed deeply in comfort, but also wondered why his little princess was so small. Although he had never seen this part of a woman's body, he knew it should be bulging and that the place for breastfeeding was large.
Shen didn't think much about it. His partner ate too little. It was normal for him to eat less, just like the rabbit he raised.
Shen just moved his lips and slowly fell asleep.
Chu Yun was confused the next day. Why was he in so much pain? It was stinging when touched.
Chu Yun was also a fool. He didn't think much about it. He just thought that there were many mosquitoes on the grassland and he happened to be bitten here. He didn't doubt the honest man's sincerity at all.
When he woke up, he was helped by the maids to wash and dress, and then he went to meet the chief and his wife of the Feiyun tribe.
Shen Yi had disappeared early in the morning, and when Su He asked about it, he just sighed.
"Now it's time for the little prince to go horseback riding and watch the sunrise. Judging by the time, he should be back soon."
Chu Yun then learned from Su He that Shen's daily schedule was riding horses, watching the sunrise, eating, feeding rabbits, cleaning, fetching water, and catching rabbits.
That’s the whole process.
Shen was the cleanest person in the Feiyun tribe. He hated everything messy. The big tent was extremely empty, with only a bed, a table, and a small wardrobe.
As for the other odds and ends, he piled them outside the tent so that he could out of sight and out of mind.
So Chu Yun didn't plan to wait for Shen to come back, and went to meet the clan leader alone under the leadership of Su He.
The etiquette of the Central Plains people is sufficient everywhere. After a set of etiquette, the clan leader felt respected, and he also smiled and asked Chu Yun to sit down.
"A Shen didn't make you angry, did he? This kid is a bit stubborn. If he bullies you, just tell me!"
"Don't worry, Dad. My husband is very good and takes good care of me."
The clan leader nodded with satisfaction. Chu Yun's knowledge of the current situation made him feel relieved. He knew what kind of person his son was, but no one wanted their son to be humiliated. The third princess was sensible.
After some awkward conversation, Shen came back.
He found out that the princess he had been thinking about had gone out. When he asked, he found out that she had gone to his father's place. He was very annoyed.
Please excuse me, Dad, for disturbing him and Xiaoyun’s breakfast time.
Shen rushed into the king's tent and pulled Chu Yun away without saying a word.
"Breakfast, you're hungry."
Chu Yun was even more embarrassed. Was Shen so stubborn? He was going to take him away before his father even finished speaking?
The patriarch was obviously used to his youngest son's behavior. He cursed him as a bastard and waved his hand to let them leave.
Chu Yun was actually still very nervous when facing the tribe leader. The man who had fought in the grasslands had eyes as sharp as an eagle, which made Chu Yun nervous and afraid of being discovered.
It’s better to be deep. You can tell what you are thinking at a glance.
Breakfast was still bacon soaked in milk and some pancakes, and Chu Yun got a bird's egg.
It is not convenient to raise chickens here. Many wild animals will attack when they smell the chickens. It is unsafe.
Chu Yun was not used to eating something so hard so early in the morning, so he ate the bird eggs and nothing else.
"Eat more."
In Shen's mind, eating more means being healthy, and eating less means dying. Su He's mother died of illness because she couldn't eat, so Su He ate like a starving ghost at every meal, and became the strong man he is today.
Chu Yun couldn't let himself die of starvation, he shook his head.
"I can't eat."
Not only he couldn't eat much, but the maids and nannies from the Central Plains also ate little. Every meal consisted of smoked meat, flatbread, and goat's milk, with no seasoning. No one could stand it.
But it is autumn now, there are no vegetables to eat on the grassland, and the mountains are covered with wild grass.
He had seen disobedient children on hunger strike who were hung up and beaten by their fathers, then starved for two days. Even gnawing on bones was delicious, but his princess obviously could not use this method.
He was so anxious that he couldn't even eat. He stood up and walked around thinking of a solution.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
A light bulb went off in his head, and he just said, "Wait for me," then turned around and rode away.
Chu Yun: ...You are really sick.
Chu Yun returned to the big tent. He was not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting, and he just liked to read storybooks to pass the time. The third princess bought him a lot of storybooks and put them in a big box. He could finish one storybook a day for a year.
The men of the tribe went hunting early in the morning, while the women did not have to hunt and stayed at home to sew and take care of the children.
Chu Yun felt that this life was not bad. Shen would not force him, and the clan leader did not make things difficult for him. He did not even have to live the life of a servant, and he had everything he wanted every day.
It’s really nice to think about it this way.
Chu Yun heard some noisy noises outside the big tent, which seemed to be from children. He pushed the door open and looked out, and saw many children gathered near the big tent, peeking out.
They were all very curious about what the princess that Brother Shen married looked like. They couldn't see clearly yesterday because she was covered with a veil. It is said that princesses from the Central Plains all look like fairies.
Chu Yun walked over slowly and smiled at them.
Unexpectedly, the faces of these children turned visibly red, and then... they all ran away screaming.
Chu Yun: ...Is he some kind of monster?
Not wanting to pay attention to the children anymore, he saw the nest of rabbits in the cage at the door.
To be honest, the smell was terrible. Rabbits have strong body odor and poop a lot when they eat a lot. Chu Yun couldn't stand it. After asking Su He, he found out that this was a rabbit that was raised in a private house.
Chu Yun didn't know why Shen kept so many rabbits, but he didn't do anything. He just waited for Shen to come back and let him release these guys.
Now according to the time, it should be Shen's time to clean the room, but Shen didn't come back. I don't know how long it was, it was almost noon, he finally came back.
He was covered in dirt, with mud spots on his trouser legs, and a large, bulging bag was carried on his horse's back.
"Husband, you are back."
"Well, food, here you go."
