Chongyang Prince's Mansion.
Fu Yunchen led Zhuangzhuang into the mansion.
The former Chongyang Palace has now been converted into an imperial palace. However, Mu Run has retained the title of Chongyang King and rebuilt the Chongyang Palace.
It has now been completed.
Inside the Prince's mansion, Old Yang was arranging for people to plant tea trees, as Fu Yunchen had instructed beforehand; all the greenery was to be replaced with tea trees.
Upon seeing a strange man enter the Prince's residence with a young prince by his side, Old Yang was taken aback at first, then knelt down before Fu Yunchen, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness, and Your Highness the Young Prince."
"Mm." Fu Yunchen helped him up. "You've worked hard."
"It's all what I should do." Old Yang looked up at the sun. "It's almost noon. Should I prepare some food?"
Fu Yunchen glanced at Zhuangzhuang behind him and said, "Prepare more."
"Yes, will the meal be served in the main hall of the outer courtyard in half an hour?"
"Let's go to the study."
"I'll go prepare it right away."
After Old Yang left, Fu Yunchen told the kneeling servants to continue with their work. He then took Zhuangzhuang on a tour of the palace.
Zhuangzhuang was small and took small steps, and gradually found it difficult to keep up with Fu Yunchen, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
Fu Yunchen stopped when he heard him panting.
Zhuangzhuang took two steps closer and stopped behind him.
Fu Yunchen looked at him, frowned, and said, "Say it if you're tired."
"I'm not tired," Zhuangzhuang said stubbornly. He liked walking with his father.
Fu Yunchen looked at him for a while, then bent down and picked him up.
It was only when I hugged him that I realized how thin he was; I could feel his bones through his clothes.
He was supporting the weight of two people, especially since he was still growing, so it was really tough for him.
He used a wisp of spiritual power to tidy up his body.
Immediately, Zhuangzhuang felt no longer tired, and her whole body felt relaxed, without the heaviness she had felt before.
"Thank you, Father." Although I don't know what my father did, my improved health must be related to him.
Fu Yunchen carried him to the study.
Upon arriving at the study, looking at the bookshelves full of books, he asked Zhuangzhuang, "Do you like the Chongyang Prince's Mansion?"
Zhuangzhuang nodded without hesitation, "I like it."
"Then, would you be willing to inherit the throne of the Chongyang King in the future?" Fu Yunchen looked at him calmly.
Zhuangzhuang didn't seem to understand Fu Yunchen's meaning. "Father, what did you say?"
“You like the Chongyang Prince’s Mansion, but as long as you become the Chongyang Prince, the Chongyang Prince’s Mansion will be yours.”
"What about your brother?" Zhuangzhuang asked.
“My brother has his own things,” Fu Yunchen said. “Such as the Imperial Palace.”
Zhuangzhuang stared at Fu Yunchen with her big eyes, "The Chongyang Prince's Mansion belongs to the Chongyang Prince, and the Imperial Palace belongs to the Emperor. So, will you be the Emperor in the future, brother?"
"You're not stupid." Wei Chengzhang, who could become the Corpse King, was certainly not stupid.
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Fu Yunchen's eyes.
Upon seeing this, Zhuangzhuang quickly lowered her head and whispered, "Whatever Father asks Zhuangzhuang to do, Zhuangzhuang will do."
“From now on, you will be the heir of the Chongyang Prince’s Mansion,” Fu Yunchen said.
Zhuangzhuang knelt down and kowtowed to Fu Yunchen, "Thank you for your kindness, Father."
Fu Yunchen nodded. "Get up."
Zhuangzhuang braced herself with her hands on the ground and stood up.
Old Yang brought over the meal, but noticing that the atmosphere in the study seemed a bit unusual, he put down the meal and hurriedly left with his men.
Zhuangzhuang got hungry while walking, so when she saw the table full of delicious food, she couldn't resist anymore, and her stomach started rumbling.
Fu Yunchen asked him to sit down opposite him, "Wash your hands and have a meal, eat more."
"Yes, Father." Zhuangzhuang's exquisitely beautiful face showed the first smile since she met Fu Yunchen.
Looking at his smile, Fu Yunchen suddenly thought of someone... Feng Que.
My heart skipped a beat!
Phoenix Palace?
The Phoenix Palace appears in the Mirror of Fate...
Zhuangzhuang began to eat with great effort. He knew that he was still supporting his mother's health, so he had to eat a lot every day. Otherwise, if his mother became weak, his father would be unhappy.
Fu Yunchen looked at him, lost in thought.
He seems to have overlooked something!
But the more he thought about it, the less he could remember.
Zhuangzhuang finished all the food placed in front of her and was just starting to feel full.
Fu Yunchen placed the food from his own plate onto the empty plate in front of him, saying, "Keep eating."
"Yes, Father." Zhuangzhuang happily resumed eating.
After finishing all the food, Zhuangzhuang patted her belly and said to Fu Yunchen, "I'm small now, and my mouth is small too, so I eat a little slowly. When I grow up, I'll eat faster."
"It's alright, eat more, it doesn't matter how fast or slow you eat," Fu Yunchen said.
After I finished speaking, that feeling of having overlooked something returned...
What exactly is it?
Old Yang stood outside the study and announced, "Your Highness, the princess and the eldest prince have arrived."
Fu Yunchen hurriedly said, "Quickly let them in, and also prepare some more food to put in the garden."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Fu Yunchen took Zhuangzhuang to the garden.
Huanhuan, dressed in the academy student's uniform, looked like a handsome young boy. Tuantuan, on the other hand, had already taken off his outer robe, wearing only his inner shorts, and was picking lotus pods in the lake.
A lot of lotus pods have already been thrown onto the shore.
Zhuangzhuang ran over, calling out, "Sister—Brother—"
Huanhuan called to Zhuangzhuang, "Come on, help your sister peel lotus seeds."
"Okay," Zhuangzhuang replied happily.
"Daddy, you're awake!" Huanhuan called out to Fu Yunchen again.
Fu Yunchen nodded, a doting smile on his thin lips. "Be careful, don't fall into the water."
Tuantuan picked a large handful of lotus pods, came out of the water, and heard Fu Yunchen's words, saying, "Dad, your son is in the water right now."
"Hehe." Fu Yunchen chuckled, looking at him with eyes full of affection.
Zhuangzhuang carefully picked at the lotus seeds; each emerald green seed looked as beautiful as a jade bead.
After finally managing to collect ten lotus seeds, she held them all up and ran towards Fu Yunchen, who was sitting in the pavilion, saying, "Father, have some lotus seeds."
Huanhuan said, "Hey, Xiaozhuangzhuang, that's mine."
Zhuangzhuang doesn't listen to her at all.
Fu Yunchen opened one hand, took the lotus seeds from the boy's small hand, cracked one open, removed the lotus heart inside, and then fed it to Zhuangzhuang.
Zhuangzhuang looked at Fu Yunchen in surprise, and finally opened her little mouth, just like a fledgling bird, and ate the lotus seed kernel.
It was sweeter than honey. "It's delicious, thank you, Father."
Huanhuan also came over, "Daddy, let me have a taste."
Fu Yunchen fed her two, saying, "You used to eat them all the time."
"Hmm, Daddy fed it, the taste is definitely different." Huanhuan patted Zhuangzhuang's head, "It is indeed very sweet."
Tuantuan wrung out her water-drenched clothes, "What's so delicious about raw lotus seeds? The lotus seed soup that Mother used to make was much better."
All three fell silent after that one sentence.
Zhuangzhuang, in particular, had never eaten any food prepared by Murun.
