Liu Gongzheng didn't answer. She had never seen anyone respond like that. Most consorts would call her "Auntie," but this Nan'ao prince consort seemed to be clueless about the rules. She'd have to worry about this for a while.
Zhao Xiaofei actually had nothing to say. He didn't know what the princess liked or what she was talking about. Feeling very awkward, he could only ask, "Are you satisfied with the food I gave you last time?"
"Satisfied! That cake was so beautiful, I was a little reluctant to give it up at first. Then I tried it with Concubine Tian, and I realized that our country is indeed not as good as South Australia in pastries." Kunxing felt sad when he thought about it. He didn't know what to feel at all, just sadness.
"That's good! I'll cook for you often in the future!" Zhao Xiaofei said casually.
"The speaker my husband gave me is my favorite. I listen to it whenever I have time. The two songs on it are 'Do You Know?' and 'Liang Liang'," Kunxing said, her face still blushing. Kunxing had dressed up especially for the day and even asked the maid who did Concubine Tian's makeup to do her makeup. She even gave the maid a few pieces of candy my husband had given her, just to encourage her to apply more carefully. Even though she was a princess, she wasn't treated as well as Concubine Tian. She couldn't even afford to offend the concubine's maids, and she had to please them whenever she had something to do.
"Great! I wonder if the princess sings well? Can we sing together in the future?" Zhao Xiaofei said. He didn't expect that the princess was also a music expert.
"Okay! From now on..." Kunxing had just said this when Liu Gongzheng started coughing again. Because singing songs in the Ming Dynasty was a job for the lowest class of people, how could a princess sing with her husband?
"In many songs, there are some instruments that we have never heard before. I wonder what instruments they are? Concubine Tian has also asked about this, and we all want to know." Kunxing could only lead the topic in this direction.
Zhao Xiaofei had played in a band in college, so he was quite familiar with these instruments. He explained to Kunxing the instruments used in modern bands, especially drums and guitars, which Zhao Xiaofei was most familiar with. The two chatted about instruments for an hour, Kunxing even asking Liu Gongzheng to get the juice drink that the prince consort had given him. The two chatted enthusiastically.
Especially when Zhao Xiaofei talked about his life in college, how he formed a band with his friends, and traveled to other places and visited famous mountains and rivers, Kunxing, who grew up in the deep palace, was envious.
Liu Gongzheng saw that the time was almost up and said, "Princess! Prince Consort! It's almost time for Prince Consort to leave the palace."
Kunxing stood up and wanted to see her husband off, but Liu Gongzheng glanced at her and she retracted her steps. According to etiquette, a princess cannot see her husband off, only her husband can see the princess off.
"Don't give me a gift! Next time I will ask Grandpa Erxi to bring you a telescope so that you can see what the moon looks like at night when the weather is good. Then you will know whether there is a Moon Palace on the moon!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Yes!" Kunxing said nothing more. She watched Zhao Xiaofei leave Yonghe Palace. They wouldn't see each other again for three months. She knew her father had punished him by confining him to his home for three months of self-reflection. In three months, their wedding would be held.
Zhao Xiaofei got to know Kunxing a little better through this conversation. The little girl was still very lively at heart. That was good. If she had been brought up as a moralist, that would have been terrible. Her life was meaningless. I didn't expect she actually liked music. I could teach her guitar and violin in the future. Every day when she got home, she would sit on the sofa. He would order the servants to call Princess Kunxing over, then point at her and say, "Come! Sing a song for me. I want to hear 'Do You Know?'" Just imagine that scene, how awesome it would be!
He was about to leave the palace with a smile on his face, twirling the purse Kunxing had given him. He twirled it around, singing the song "Liangliang" as he swung it. Back home, Li Sihong asked, "Husband! What made you so happy today?"
"There's nothing to be happy about! Not only did the emperor not reward me, he also made me stay at home and reflect on my mistakes for three months. Don't you think I'm unlucky? If I had known this would happen, I would never have done this thankless job." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"The emperor is protecting you. You should understand his painstaking efforts," said Li Sihong.
"Hardworking! None of the ministers in the palace are capable of doing anything! They're good at internal strife, but not at external strife! What's the point of having them? Let's not talk about this anymore. Tomorrow we'll move to the Misty Rain Tower. Your husband and I will be in seclusion for three months! You stay in the tower, and Xiao Si will stay outside! I, your husband, will travel around Taixu Fairyland and bring you some delicious food when I return," Zhao Xiaofei said. Taixu Fairyland is modern society, and this time he's going to do something big.
"Practicing in seclusion? Husband! Do you really want to become an immortal? Why don't I believe it?" Li Sihong said.
"Don't believe me, huh? Tomorrow I'll show you what a magical resurrection is!" Zhao Xiaofei said. He was becoming increasingly adept at using the jade pendant. He also discovered that as long as he wore it, he could control the objects he carried with him with his mind. He no longer had to carry them on his back like before.
"I just don't believe it! If you show me something right now, I'll believe it!" said Li Sihong.
"I don't believe it! It seems I have to be punished by the family rules. By the way, what did I say when we came out of Yanyu Tower? I will teach you a lesson tonight, my beauty! Come on! See how your husband teaches you a lesson!" Zhao Xiaofei walked over with an evil smile and hugged Li Sihong.
"Ah! You are so naughty!" Li Sihong was touched on a sensitive part by Zhao Xiaofei. She screamed in fear and quickly dodged.
Spring is infinitely beautiful, but it is so short. The next morning, Li Sihong rubbed Zhao Xiaofei's waist and said with a smile: "What's wrong? You don't say you're going to punish me? I wonder who has a backache that can't get up?"
"I returned to Taixu Wonderland just to teach you a lesson. Just wait and see how I'll teach you a lesson! Ouch! It hurts! Rub it for me again!" Zhao Xiaofei yelled, asking Li Sihong to rub his waist. Li Sihong was so amused by this scene that she couldn't stop laughing.
