Chapter 98 Turtle, Xiaoba and Xiaojiu



Lu Tianyun was startled, and hurriedly wiped away her tears, hesitating: "No, it's nothing, it's just the dust that blinded me. Thank you, Your Highness... Your Highness, for your concern."

Qin Youran turned around and asked Mu Qing if he had a handkerchief. Mu Qing shook his head. He had no choice but to take out his own silk handkerchief and handed it to Lu Tianyun, "Here you go."

Lu Tianyun was stunned and at a loss. Qin Youran held it forward a little more and asked, "Do you want it?"

"Thank you, Your Highness..."

Lu Tianyun then slowly took the silk from Qin Youran's hand. She was still stunned until Qin Youran and Mu Qing walked out of the court. If Bisi hadn't woken her up, everyone in the court would have looked over.

Lu Tianyun wiped away her tears with her sleeve, looked at the silk in her hand, held it tightly, and then left the court with Bisi to look for flowers and bushes.

The game will still go on, but it will be less exciting.

Ye Zelin placed Hua Fushu on a soft cushion. Madam Ouyang asked Ye Zelin and Sanqiao to take good care of Hua Fushu before returning to the platform to accompany her.

From time to time, Lu Tianyun and Bisi also came to Hua Fushu. Seeing her with Ye Zelin, they thought it would be better not to disturb them and wanted to go somewhere else.

Hua Fushu called her and Bisi, and Ye Zelin also spoke. Only then did Lu Tianyun reluctantly sit with them.

Ye Zelin poured two cups of tea. Hua Fushu gave one to Lu Tianyun and drank the other for herself. Then Ye Zelin said, "Sister Fushu, I didn't expect you to be so good at polo."

Hua Fushu smiled and said, "There's a lot you don't know. It's just that I haven't played for a year, so I'm a little rusty."

Ye Zelin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Besides playing polo, what else can you do?"

Hua Fushu said, "You can hit the target with every throw in the pot. And there's also archery. Shooting some wild game is not bad."

Ye Zelin smiled and said, "Rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics are called the Six Arts. Tou Hu is also a kind of archery. Sister Fushu is a woman, so it is rare for her to master even one of them."

Hua Fushu said modestly, "I just learned it for fun in my spare time."

Bisi suddenly said, "Madam Fushu, I remember that you also know Kung Fu, right?"

Hearing this, Ye Zelin looked at Hua Fushu and asked, "You also know Kung Fu?"

Hua Fushu scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's just fancy moves. It's fine to scare people, but if you run into an expert, you'll just have to run away."

Bisi continued, "Last time, you drove away the bully with just a few lashes, and you even went to clean up..."

Lu Tianyun suddenly looked over and Bisi quickly stopped talking, knowing that she almost said the wrong thing.

Ye Zelin asked, "Bully? When did this happen? I've never heard you mention it before."

Hua Fushu glared at him, and then Lu Tianyun explained, "That happened a month ago. I was having tea at Sifang Pavilion when I was harassed by some bullies. Fortunately, Fushu helped me out, and we got along well, and we became friends."

Ye Zelin suddenly understood what was going on.

Hua Fushu said, "I have an uncle who knows some Kung Fu. When I was little, I often stayed with him. He was afraid I would be bullied, so he taught me a few punches and kicks. I was reluctant to learn at first, but he said it would be good for my health, so I did learn. However, I am dull and only learned the basics."

Ye Zelin said, "After all, she is a girl. It is not good for her to wield swords and knives."

Hua Fushu glared at him, but Ye Zelin just remained calm and ignored him.

Hua Fushu wanted to play touhu and chuiwan, but his feet were still hurting, so he gave up.

The polo game on the field was still going on. With the departure of Ye Zelin, Qin Youran and Hua Fushu, many onlookers left one after another, some to play touhu (pitching pots) and some to play chuiwan (cuiwan).

Several people looked at the court at the same time, but found it boring. Ye Zelin was just about to ask Side to find something fun.

At this time, a small wooden basin fell on a square low table. Two little turtles were swimming in the basin. When several people looked over, they were suddenly startled to find that Qin Youran had already sat down cross-legged.

"His Royal Highness King Qin?"

Ye Zelin and Lu Tianyun said in unison.

Sanqiao opened her eyes wide suddenly, and before she could even say the word Qin, she fell backwards. Bisi supported her back in time and prevented her from falling.

Ye Zelin was not surprised. Previously, Hua Fushu almost fell off his horse when he heard the title of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin.

Ye Zelin and Lu Tianyun were about to stand up to greet him, but Qin Youran said, "I hate those empty formalities the most. I'm bored sitting over there, so I'll come over and join in the fun. I hope the Young General doesn't mind."

Ye Zelin cupped his hands and said, "How dare I mind? This is my honor."

Qin Youran deliberately annoyed Ye Zelin, clearly disliking his polite manner. He then looked at Lu Tianyun, "Do you have any objections?"

Lu Tianyun was flattered and shook her head hurriedly.

"They have no objection, and I have even less objection."

As she spoke, Hua Fushu was about to move the wooden basin towards herself, but Qin Youran suddenly pushed away her restless hands and moved the wooden basin back to its original place.

Qin Youran feigned displeasure and said, "Even if I chose it, it's not for you."

Ye Zelin was startled, but then he heard Hua Fushu ask, "Tell me, what are you playing?"

Qin Youran said, "How about playing Feihua Ling?"

Hua Fushu's face darkened immediately. "There's no wine here, so why play Feihua Ling? I won't play!"

Ye Zelin asked anxiously, "Your Highness knows my wife?"

Qin Youran smiled and said, "Yes, I know her. Hua'er is my sister."

Ye Zelin was skeptical.

Hua Fushu said, "Prince Qin is my senior brother."

Hua Fushu simply explained his relationship with Qin Youran in one sentence. He didn't elaborate, and Ye Zelin didn't ask any further questions.

Qin Youran asked again: "Hua'er, what do you say to play?"

Hua Fushu stared at the two turtles, his almond-shaped eyes almost unable to move away. He looked up at Qin Youran and said with a smile, "How about I treat you to a drink at Lefeng Tower some other day?"

Two restless fingers moved towards the wooden basin. Qin Youran looked at her hand, and Hua Fushu quickly withdrew her hand.

Seeing that Hua Fushu failed to succeed, Ye Zelin and Lu Tianyun couldn't help laughing.

Qin Youran suddenly pushed the wooden basin in front of Hua Fushu and said with a smile, "Take it. It was originally meant for you. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Hua Fushu held the wooden basin and said with a smile, "Thank you, senior brother. You are so nice!" If this wasn't a court with so many people around, she would definitely give Qin Youran a big hug to express her gratitude.

She teased the two turtles with her index finger, very happily, "I'll give you two names. Its name is Xiaoba, and yours is Xiaojiu."

Seeing her touching a turtle's shell with her index finger, Ye Zelin asked, "Why do you call it Xiao Ba?"

Hua Fushu replied: "Because it is a turtle."

Ye Zelin was speechless and asked again: "Why is the other one called Xiaojiu and not Wangba?"

Hua Fushu laughed and said, "Because the word 'turtle' sounds too ugly."

Ye Zelin added: "Xiao Ba and Wang Ba are the same."

Hua Fushu annoyed him and said unhappily, "I like it, what's it to you?"

Ye Zelin forced a helpless smile: "It's up to you."

Qin Youran and Ye Zelin asked, "Does she often talk to you like this?"

Ye Zelin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Not often, just a few arguments now and then."
