Chapter 220 Princess Kunxing’s Thoughts
Zhao Xiaofei had just wanted Li Zichu to bring Zeng Ying back for trial, but he was furious. If he really did that, generals like Huang Degong and Gao Jie would probably be upset.
When I was a kid, I watched TV dramas and hated the villains who delayed important events because they were vying for credit. I vowed to never tolerate such people if I ever met them. But reality slapped Zhao Xiaofei in the face. Sometimes people are selfish, and because of selfishness, they do stupid things. But people are also realistic, and because of practical issues, I can't punish them.
Zhao Xiaofei felt a surge of anxiety and went to Princess Kunxing's room. Ever since returning from Wudang Mountain, Princess Kunxing had been home looking after the child. Zhao Xiaofei wanted to fulfill his fatherly responsibilities. He wanted to see his son while staying home with the princess, Li Sihong, and Kou Baimen. Kou Baimen had recovered much better after being nursed back by Faxiang Goth. It was time to have a child! But there was no movement from Kou Baimen.
Princess Kunxing Zhu Mianzhu saw Zhao Xiaofei coming and asked, "Prince! Why are you in my room?"
"Can't I come? I just want to spend more time with you and our son! We've been running around these past few years, and we have very little time together. How long has it been since I heard you sing? How long has it been since I heard you want to eat cake? I still remember you told me that I gave you a cake with the young Wu Zetian in its image, and I was scolded by Queen Mother Zhou! Later you told me about it, and I felt guilty for a long time!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
After hearing this, Zhu Mianzhu felt like she was back to when she first met her husband. Back then, her husband wasn't so busy and would often visit the palace, believing it was owned by his family. But that sentiment still feels sweet to her. Later, she learned that her husband had known Li Sihong before her, and she felt heartbroken several times. It felt like the sky was falling! But afterward, her husband treated her very well.
"Why does the Prince Consort mention this?" Zhu Mianzhu's address changed at this time.
"I just want to spend more time with you! I feel sorry for you. When I first met you, you were still a child. Beautiful and innocent! Now you are a mother and can even lead an army on your own! It makes me sigh when I think about it! My lovely princess, you are a bit like a queen now!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
Zhu Mianzhu pouted and said, "What does the Prince Consort mean? Is he dissatisfied with me because I've changed for the worse? I'm not as cute as before?"
"How could that be? I like my princess no matter what she looks like!" Zhao Xiaofei said, putting his hand on the princess's shoulder.
Zhu Mianzhu hadn't acted like a spoiled child in front of Zhao Xiaofei for a long time, and it seemed as if the two of them had returned to the old days. Zhu Mianzhu took advantage of the situation and fell into Zhao Xiaofei's arms, saying, "Prince Consort! I really wish it could be like this forever! I can lie in your arms, without having to think about anything or do anything! I can be a child who never grows up in your arms!"
Zhao Xiaofei gently touched Zhu Mianzhu's nose and said, "There is no chance! You already have a child, and you still want to be a child? You can only be my woman now! The prince's woman! Actually, I never thought about today, you know? In fact, I just wanted to make a fortune, earn more money and then leave Ming Dynasty! Later, when I met you, I changed my mind. You say that I am working so hard to maintain the court for the sake of Ming Dynasty, but that is not the case at all. I don't have any feelings for Ming Dynasty?" Zhao Xiaofei said.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Mianzhu stood up, looked at Zhao Xiaofei and asked, "Then why do you still want to..."
Zhao Xiaofei blocked Zhu Mianzhu's lips with a finger, interrupting her and saying, "For you! Because I found that I have fallen in love with you! I can't bear to see you sad! If the Ming Dynasty is gone, and even if I take you away, will you be happy? I don't think my princess will be happy! She may end up becoming an ordinary woman who follows her husband wherever he goes, and may even die of depression because she misses the Ming Dynasty and her father! This is not what I want to see!"
"What about me now? Does the prince consort like me?" Kunxing looked at Zhao Xiaofei and asked, she wanted to know the answer. Because there was a hurdle in her heart, that is, Zhao Xiaofei fell in love with Li Sihong before he knew her. Although Li Sihong would never compete with her for the position of the main wife, Zhao Xiaofei seemed to have a secret in this world, and it was a secret between Li Sihong and Zhao Xiaofei. This secret was known only to the two of them. In the past, I only thought that the prince consort liked to practice Taoism, but I found that he could always produce many things that I had never seen or even difficult to understand. But where did those things come from? He couldn't have brought so many things from Nan'ao! So he must have a secret, Princess Kunxing really wanted to know.
"I like you! If I didn't like you, I could just run away and sail overseas! The court owes me money every day and never pays me back! They treat me like a beast of burden! One day, if I'm not careful, I might lose my life! What if they say I'm too powerful? I'll do anything for you, I'll give up anything! As long as you're willing to be with me!" Zhao Xiaofei said affectionately. As for the depth of his love for Princess Kunxing Zhu Mianzhu, it can be said that Princess Kunxing Zhu Mianzhu is his ideal partner! She loves herself and is tolerant of herself. She doesn't give too many difficulties with his other two women. Zhao Xiaofei can completely relax in her presence.
As for saving the Ming Dynasty, it wasn't specifically for Zhu Mianchu, but to fulfill his own wish. Since he'd traveled through time, he might as well take a big chance. At worst, he could bring all his women back and settle them in a certain country. He and Qin Baobao wouldn't have to see each other, and that would be enough! But for the past two years, Zhao Xiaofei had been traveling far and wide, and Zhu Mianchu was practically inseparable. He grew fond of this gentle, lovely, yet strong woman. The Nine Divine Nun portrayed by Jin Yong was a far cry from his current wife. But the princess before him was more real, more vivid.
"If that day ever comes, I will protect you with my life!" Princess Kunxing said to Zhao Xiaofei.
"My silly girl! Silly princess! What are men for? They are to hold up the world for women! If I let you take the knife for me, how will people in the world see me, Zhao Xiaofei! If that day really comes, I will take you away! To a place where no one knows us!" After Zhao Xiaofei said this, he hugged Zhu Mianzhu tighter.
Zhu Mianzhuo pressed against Zhao Xiaofei's chest and listened to his heartbeat, which was so strong and rhythmic. It gave her a very reassuring feeling, this is what is called a sense of security!
"Husband! Do you have any secret? I want to know!" Zhu Mianzhu suddenly asked.
