Tang Chen smiled. This was the time when the boy was finally ready to eat after a good sleep. He was really well behaved today. Normally, he would cry when he woke up at this time. Could he have sensed his father coming? "If you don't believe me, go and see."
Wang Yanzhou tiptoed over, somewhat unconvinced, and peeked into the cradle. The baby, now much cuter than a month ago, stared at him with its round eyes wide open. "How did you know? He's actually awake."
Tang Chen carefully held the child in his arms and replied with a smile: "I am his mother after all. You, as a father, are not home every other day. Chen Xin can change diapers now, so you better hurry up."
When Wang Yanzhou heard about changing diapers, he subconsciously took a few steps back. Everything else was fine, but this one was something he couldn't bring himself to do. "Well, I really can't learn how to change diapers, but I can teach him to read and write later, and I can save the money of hiring a teacher."
Tang Chen rolled his eyes at Wang Yanzhou and couldn't help but tease him, "Your Highness, you really know how to live. This way, you can save money for the teacher and the martial arts teacher."
…Fenglai had been feeling sick for the past few days, his mind wandering all day long. He couldn't eat or sleep well. Yingchun had just led her men to remove the dinner with a gloomy face, and the next second she ran back happily as if she had been revived: "Princess, the prince is here!"
Feng Lai looked up at the sunset outside the window and sighed. Then, somewhat displeased, he stood up with Xi Xin's support. "...I'm here now, why are you so excited?"
When Wang Yanzhou entered the room, he pretended not to have heard this and asked with concern, "I heard that the princess was unwell. Is she feeling better now?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm feeling much better now." Princess Fenglai's sullen expression made Wang Yanzhou seem a bit cold, and Yingchun was extremely nervous. She had to report to the Kingdom of Shu every month on Fenglai and Wang Yanzhou's situation. How could she write this?
Wang Yanzhou didn't care about Feng Lai's attitude. He was just doing it for others to see, so his attitude was enough. "There will be a celebration banquet in the military camp tomorrow. If the princess is willing, you can come and have a look and enjoy the fun. Since the princess hasn't been in a good mood recently, you can also take the opportunity to go out for a walk and see the spring scenery of my Qingliang Valley."
Looking out the window at the blossoming spring scene, Feng Lai's heart was haunted by a shadow, like a nightmare or ghost, which kept turning around in her mind and she couldn't shake it off. "...You two should go down first. I have something to discuss with the prince alone."
"yes."
Before Princess Fenglai could speak, Wang Yanzhou knew what she wanted to ask: "Your Majesty, how long have you and Liang Shuyi known each other?"
Wang Yanzhou replied with some doubt: "We are old friends, so why did the princess suddenly ask this?"
Feng Lai skipped Wang Yanzhou's question and continued, "Then, do you know she has a friend named Liu Wuhen? He's a very handsome and elegant man, probably around my age. He likes to wear all white and is very fond of fans."
Wang Yanzhou thought Feng Lai had noticed something and suddenly became nervous: "...Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Feng Lai heard Wang Yanzhou imply that he also knew someone, so he quickly explained: "Her friend is the person I've been looking for. Liang Shuyi told me he was dead, but the more I think about it these days, the more suspicious it seems."
Wang Yanzhou pretended to be thinking about the past. After reminiscing for a while, he said, "In my memory, there is indeed such a person. It seems that she had a good relationship with Shuyi, but I haven't heard her mention it much in the past two years. Maybe she is really gone."
Feng Lai's heart suddenly ached again, so much so that she couldn't even straighten her waist. She could only slowly squat on the ground, holding her head in pain: "...If even you say so, then what on earth did I go through so much trouble to come to Daliang for!"
Wang Yanzhou shook his head helplessly, leaned over and helped her sit on the chair, and comforted her: "Princess, things are unpredictable. After the matter in Daliang is over, you can go back to Shu whenever you want."
Feng Lai was like a madman, crying bitterly with his head in his hands just now. Before Wang Yanzhou could finish his words, he stood up and said excitedly, "No, I have to ask her. Even if she can't see her in her lifetime, I should go to her grave to express my condolences... Oh, I forgot, she said that there is not even a grave left."
Wang Yanzhou was really having a headache. He had heard that Chen Xin had been adding something to her diet recently, and he felt a little guilty, so he came to check on her. But she was so emotionally unstable, and he really didn't know how to comfort her. After all, he had already made it clear that he really couldn't comfort anyone other than Tang Chen. Thinking about it this way, he and Tang Chen were truly a match made in heaven!
After thinking for a long time and still not knowing how to answer Princess Fenglai, he decided to flee this place, which was a bit unkind: "...Princess, he is gone. I still have matters to attend to in the camp. I must return first."
Feng Lai's face was covered with tears, and with a dazed look in her eyes, she spoke word by word, "My Lord, take care."
When Wang Yanzhou came out, he closed the door behind him and told Yingchun and Xixin who were waiting outside, "You two are the princess's personal maids. Take good care of her and don't let her get too sad and upset. If anything happens, remember to come to me first."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When Yingchun and Xixin entered the room, Princess Fenglai's mood seemed to calm down instantly. Xixin was just about to wipe her face when Yingchun suddenly jumped up and said, "Princess, why did the prince leave so quickly? Why didn't you stay a little longer?"
After Feng Lai took the handkerchief, he snorted coldly and said, "What's the point of keeping it? His heart is not with me, and mine is not with him either."
"Princess..." Yingchun was about to say something else when Fenglai stopped her: "Xixin, change my clothes for me. I need to go meet my cousin."
"yes."
Guizhi was outside trying to pick a few peach blossoms for Liang Shuyi's screen. Just as she was about to start, she saw Fenglai and her men approaching their courtyard aggressively. She grabbed the peach blossoms on the stone table and hurried back to the house: "Miss, Princess Fenglai is here."
Liang Shuyi looked at the horrific battlefield on her desk where a fight had just ended, and frowned slightly: "What is she doing here at this time?"
Guizhi whispered, "I don't know either, but it looks like they're up to no good. Do you want me to stop them?"
