"Mother, what are you looking at me for?"
Feng Yuxiao noticed his mother's gaze and looked up at her in confusion.
Zhu Wuhuan rubbed his little head and smiled gently, "You look like your father, the emperor. Super cute. Queen Mother loves you both so much."
Feng Yuxiao rubbed his mother's legs and laughed happily.
He felt that he was extremely happy and didn't look like a prince living in a cold imperial family at all.
His father was very interesting and loved him and his sister very much. He was not like the legendary emperors who were wary of their sons at all. He wanted to give him and his sister everything good.
His mother loved them very much. She was not at all like the legendary queen who was only concerned with teaching her son to scheme against others to secure his position as crown prince, but neglected his growth.
Living in such a home, he and his sister feel like they have fallen into a honey pot, so sweet.
The sound of the mother and son talking made Chu Yujie, a handsome man standing among the dead branches and leaves, look back.
He is now nearly eighteen years old. Back then, he was a handsome young man who was difficult to tell whether he was male or female, with a gentle and elegant demeanor. Now, after three years of training in the army, he has become a man with the style of a general.
His features were more resolute, and his eyes showed the firmness and calmness that came from having experienced war. His whole body exuded the domineering air of a general that he learned from Zhu Huaining.
He is only eighteen years old, but he is born with extraordinary talents and has already begun to show his potential.
As such, he could already see some of the outline of the iron-willed general in history books who died outside the city with his last breath in order to protect the country of Daning.
Looking at him, Zhu Wuhuan sighed softly.
Chu Yujie in history books had a tragic fate. Although he had the talent to be the top scholar, he was deprived of the qualification to take the imperial examination because of the stigma of his brothel background. He had no choice but to give up his pen and join the army. He went to the battlefield alone on horseback and turned from a scholar into a military general.
She thought that if she came to Daning and rescued her from the brothel in time, he would be able to take the imperial examination and become the top scholar he had always wanted to be. However, by accident, he joined the Zhu family's army and embarked on the path of a military general.
Maybe this is God's will.
Even if he was given another chance, God would have made him a military commander.
"Her Majesty the Queen—"
Chu Yujie smiled as he gazed at Zhu Wuhuan in the corridor. He then lifted his robe, knelt, and kowtowed. "Your servant, Chu Yujie, pays respects to the Empress and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
This kneeling brought tears to his eyes.
When he left the brothel and knelt down in the alley to thank the empress for saving him, he made a bold promise that if he ever had a chance to succeed in the future, he would swear to be loyal to the empress and her little prince until death to repay the empress's great kindness.
Now, the queen's little prince was born, and he had already become a sixth-rank captain.
Although his official position is still very low now, he will continue to move up step by step and become a general who can protect the Empress and the Prince!
He will maximize his value and will not let the queen regret spending so much money to buy him.
Zhu Wuhuan felt a little sentimental when he saw him kneeling and kowtowing.
Four years ago, he knelt down, looking so weak, a bit reserved and unsure about the future.
But now, he stands with his back straight and is full of confidence. He has completely gotten rid of the shadow cast by his past experiences, and he has become more determined and vigorous.
That's good.
This is the demeanor that the great general Chu Yujie in history books should have.
Smiling, she led her son to Chu Yujie and said, "Xiao'er, help your mother to help Captain Chu get up."
Feng Yuxiao stepped forward obediently, gently grasped Chu Yujie's arm with his little hand, and called in a baby voice, "My dear, please stand up."
Chu Yujie looked at the little hand on his arm, then slowly raised his head to look at the little baby standing in front of him.
This was the future monarch he was to serve, yet he was so adorable.
Looking at his beautiful big eyes that looked like black grapes, Chu Yujie smiled and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your support."
He stood up slowly, keeping his arms still as he stood up, for fear that the little prince who was holding his arm would fall.
After he stood firm, he looked at the little prince standing in front of him.
Because the little prince did not let go of his arm and was still holding him.
He was a little surprised that the little prince was still holding his arm. When he looked down, he met the little prince's big, bright black eyes!
"Captain Chu, you're so handsome! You're the most beautiful person I've ever seen besides my father. No wonder my father is wary of you! I understand him!"
Feng Yuxiao grabbed Chu Yujie's arm and stared at his face from left to right, then said like a little adult, "My mother is my father's. You have no hope. However, I still have two younger sisters. If you are not in a hurry to get married, you can wait until they grow up!"
He counted on his little fingers, "One is my younger sister, Aqiong. She's so pretty, a perfect match for you! But she's a little spoiled, I don't know if you like her. The other is my cousin, Ling'er, the daughter of my second uncle, Zhu Longyuan. She's a pretty girl, and she might become a general in the future. She's a perfect match for you..."
He looked at Chu Yujie and said, "Aqiong is the same age as me, three and a half years old. You can wait another ten years and get engaged to her! After the engagement, wait another three years and you can get married! But Ling'er is much younger, she is only one and a half years old. Oh, you have to wait two or three more years!"
"..." Chu Yujie looked at the little prince in confusion, unable to react.
Isn't this too familiar?
Proposing marriage as soon as you meet, are you more professional than a matchmaker?
So should he thank the little prince for praising his good looks, or should he thank the little prince for thinking so highly of him that he wanted to marry the princess to him, a sixth-rank captain?
He stared at the cute little prince from head to toe, feeling both amused and helpless.
He said, "Your Highness, I...I'm afraid I can't wait for your two sisters. I'm almost eighteen, and if I wait another ten years, I'll be thirty. I'm too old, and Your Highness will look down on me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yuxiao said, "No, I like her, so how could my sister not like her? Good-looking people will still look good when they are thirty!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Chu Yujie didn't know what to say and could only look at Zhu Wuhuan as if asking for help.
"Hahaha--"
Zhu Wuhuan laughed so hard that tears were about to come out. She waved at Chu Yujie, indicating that she could not save him and that he should save himself.
She was almost dying of her son's cuteness.
Emma, this is really her own son!
Whether before or after she traveled through time, she was fascinated by Chu Yujie's angelic looks. As a result, her son has inherited her genes and was conquered by Chu Yujie's looks as soon as he saw her!
The prince actually grabbed the girl's arm and refused to let go. He turned into a matchmaker and started to propose marriage to his sister. His little mouth kept chattering. It was so funny!
If this gets out, people will probably laugh their heads off!
Tsk tsk, I wonder if Feng Changye would be furious if he knew about this?
He was guarding against Chu Yujie like a thief, but his own son was so happy that he wanted Chu Yujie to be his son-in-law. Hahaha, he must be dying of his son's "filial piety", right?
