Chapter 75 Everything Starts Over Again (3)
From then on, Qi Lan followed little Axun closely, and he wanted to protect Axun.
King Xiao Hu followed them closely, and he wanted to take revenge on them!
The emperor could not help but sigh: "My sons are truly brothers and sisters!"
But after suffering several unexpected disasters, King Hu cried and stayed away from Qi Lan and A Xun.
"Wow, mother, they are so terrifying. How come we have to go through five assassination attempts every month on average?"
Prince Hu's mother patted his head and said, "Silly boy, this is what you have to go through when you become a crown prince."
"Experience more in the future. When your mother and your grandfather arrange for you to be crowned as the crown prince, you will be able to adapt better."
King Xiao Hu felt like the sky was falling.
He cried and shouted that he didn't want to be the crown prince, and no matter how his mother tried to persuade him, it was of no use.
Time flies, and soon they all grow up.
Prince Hu married a princess, who was a capable woman and kept the dissolute Prince Hu under strict control.
Qi Lan also married A Xun as he wished, and just like in his previous life, he abolished the six palaces and lived with A Xun for the rest of his life.
When Prince Hu found out, he curled his lips and said, "What's so good about that girl? He's already the emperor, with three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. Isn't he living like a god?"
"Um?"
"Is this what the prince thinks?"
Princess Hu's gentle voice came from behind him. Prince Hu shuddered and said quickly, "I didn't think of anything!"
"It's okay," Princess Hu smiled softly, "I'm pregnant now, so it's not convenient for me to serve Your Highness. Why don't I take charge and get you a few concubines?"
When she smiled, Prince Hu broke out in a cold sweat: "No, no need. The princess is pregnant and has suffered a lot. How can I lift my concubine?"
After confirming that Prince Hu didn't need it, Princess Hu wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief and said, "I have to go to the palace to pay my respects to the Empress. I will be leaving now."
Seeing Princess Hu's brisk steps, Prince Hu gritted his teeth as he looked towards the direction of the palace.
It must be the Queen who led his princess astray!
I miss the princess when she first married into the palace. Although the housekeeper was strict, at least he didn't restrict him from drinking and having sex.
Now, in order to save up the betrothal gifts or dowry for the unborn baby, even half of his monthly salary has been deducted.
"Hey," Prince Hu raised his glass and drank alone, "If you don't have money, just go to the palace and cry, and you'll have it. I, as the eldest brother, gave the throne to my second brother and even saved the lives of the Emperor and Empress. What's wrong with them keeping Prince Hu's mansion?"
The followers lowered their heads silently, thinking that King Hu was just farting.
He had to hear such outrageous words every day, and his ears were callused.
…
In the second year after the Emperor and Empress got married, the King of Northern Chu celebrated his birthday and invited the Emperor and Empress to attend.
Ah Xun was well taken care of by Qi Lan. If she hadn't had her hair in a bun, others would have thought she was an unmarried girl.
Qi Lan was invited by the King of Northern Chu to discuss matters, so A Xun and the palace maids strolled around the Northern Chu Imperial Garden.
When they reached the pond, they heard someone falling into the water on the other side and went to take a look.
Unexpectedly, a few naughty children pushed a little girl's head into the water. The little girl looked like she was about to die, so A Xun quickly asked someone to stop them.
After the little girl was rescued, A Xun learned that she was the ninth princess of Northern Chu. Because her mother had fallen out of favor, she had a horrible birthmark on her face, so she was disliked by the king.
"how so!"
Ah Xun said angrily, "They are so mean, and the King of Northern Chu..."
She didn't say the rest of the words, after all, this was Bei Chu's territory.
A Xun was a kind girl. That day she found a way to let the Ninth Princess show up in front of the king.
The Ninth Princess was favored by the Queen of Daxia, and the king also saw her intelligence, so she became the most favored princess of Northern Chu.
"Alan," Ah Xun tugged at Qi Lan's sleeve in the temporary rest room, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have helped others without consulting you. Please don't be angry~"
Qi Lan has always been unable to refuse his little girl's coquettishness. He said helplessly: "Axun, I'm not angry, but we are in Beichu now. It would be bad if someone with bad intentions approached you."
"You don't have to discuss everything with me. You can make your own decisions about everything in Daxia. If you can't make a decision, come and ask me. But right now, you have to tell me everything that happens, okay?"
Ah Xun nodded and took the initiative to hug his neck. Qi Lan's expression darkened and he blew out the light in the room.
Outside the house, the palace maid Lianzhi said proudly, "Eunuch Chen, please give me some silver."
Chen Dexi glanced at the half-minute recorded on the paper, sighed, and resigned himself to giving the silver to the palace maid.
Their Majesty, could you please be a little bit more assertive and get angry with the Empress for even a quarter of an hour?
Just let him win once?
"Master, you always lose when we bet, why do you still bet with them?"
Chen Dexi's apprentice was puzzled.
Chen Dexi snorted softly, "What do you know? I'm happy to be your master! Hurry up and guard the door, or the emperor will punish you."
The apprentice chuckled and whispered to Chen Dexi, "Master, I bought some wine and meat for you, old man, and put them in the house."
After saying that, he slid away like a snake.
Chen Dexi cursed with a smile, then put his hands together and prayed to heaven and earth as usual, begging the gods of heaven and earth to bless the emperor and the empress with peace, health and worries, and oh, yes, never to quarrel.
Whenever the emperor and empress quarreled, the palace servants who served them became more anxious than the people involved.
After turning a corner, he arrived at his room. Chen Dexi heard two little palace maids talking in the corner.
"Lianzhi, have you saved enough money?"
"I've saved enough, thanks to a bet I made with Eunuch Chen. He bet ten taels of silver. Eunuch Chen is so generous. When we return to the capital, I'll send it home to take my mother to see a doctor."
"That's great. By the way, this is some small change I saved. Take it and use it to nourish your mother."
"No, no, I have silver already. I don't want yours. I remember you're leaving the palace next year, right? Save it for yourself. I've already lent you quite a bit of it. When my mother recovers, I'll ask her to embroider a wedding dress for you. My mother's craftsmanship is excellent."
The two girls left chatting and laughing. Chen Dexi came out from the corner and casually called out to a young eunuch.
"Today is the 465th day since the Emperor and the Empress' wedding. We are so happy. Take this silver and divide it among you girls."
The young eunuch left with the silver in his hands, smiling happily. Chen Dexi drank some wine and ate some snacks, feeling so happy!
The birthday celebration of the King of Northern Chu is over and they are about to go back.
The Ninth Princess reluctantly held Axun's hand and asked if they could see each other again in the future.
"We'll meet again," Ah Xun comforted her. "Next time I come to Beichu, or you go to Daxia, we'll meet again!"
The King of Northern Chu said with a smile, "My Ninth Princess is reluctant to leave the Queen of Great Xia. If our two countries are destined to form a Qin-Jin friendship in the future, seeing how it looks like, I must let the Ninth Princess go."
After hearing this, a seed took root and sprouted in the Ninth Princess' heart.
