Chapter 1051: Wrong
Although King Chu had good intentions in his heart, little Nianchu was sleeping peacefully beside her mother at the moment and did not feel her father's affectionate call for her in his heart at all.
“You little brat, just because you don’t turn around doesn’t mean I don’t exist.” Chai Shao looked at his nephew who was dumbfounded and trying to deceive himself and get away with it. He felt helpless: “You are already a father, but you are still so careless. How dare you…”
“Alas——” King Chu obviously had something to say about his uncle’s personal attack: “Uncle, you are wrong. Who told you that being a father requires stability? Think about my royal grandfather. He is now a great-grandfather. Do you think he is stable?
And who knows, he is currently in Yushan Villa, working hard, hoping that the old tree will bloom——"
"Alright, alright..." As Li Yuan's son-in-law, Chai Shao was obviously unwilling to listen to Li Kuan's big truths again: "I'll go see Xiao Nianchu, you kid... forget it, it's up to you."
"Uncle, if you have something to say, just say it directly." Seeing that his uncle was hesitant to speak, His Royal Highness the King of Chu thought that the other party was playing hard to get: "The relationship between us is not that of father and son, but it is better than that of father--"
“Okay, okay…” Facing the emotional offensive of King Chu, Chai Shao decided to accept it for the sake of Xiao Nianchu: “Actually… Kuan’er, your uncle does not approve of you starting this war so soon.
You need to know one thing.
His Majesty, the reason why he gave you so many fiefs is not just because of your outstanding military achievements."
"Besides this... what else?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu frowned upon hearing this: "Is it because I am much more handsome than him? To make his father look good?"
"Stop making jokes!" Chai Shao said angrily, "Don't you think about it? Except for Qiongzhou, the rest of your fiefdoms are basically scattered here and there. If you want to control the fiefdom, do you have to send retainers to garrison?
Your Majesty is openly dividing your power! Brat, do you really think he is easy to deal with? You should know that your Majesty fought all the way from Taiyuan to Xuanwu Gate in Chang'an, and finally became a peerless hero... If he was a soft-hearted person, how could he be here today! "
"Uncle, don't worry, I'm not crazy, so I definitely don't plan to run to Chang'an and fight with that tyrant outside the Xuanwu Gate." His Royal Highness the King of Chu scratched his head when he heard this: "Besides, I understand what you said..."
“No, you don’t understand.” Chai Shao sighed, then he glanced at Zhang Zhenxuan who was standing next to Li Kuan, and then said, “Kuan’er, you actually don’t understand how many talents your grandmother has left behind for you.
Right now, Lord Dou is planning to use a number of Dou's resources to help you manage the fiefdoms scattered around. But I'm worried... if His Majesty knew about this, he would be afraid again and... do something cruel and ruthless..."
"Since Dou Shu'er has made up his mind..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu scratched his nose and said, "Then we should follow his idea."
In fact, Li Kuan also understood that Dou Shu'er must have seen through the foolish emperor's thoughts, so he decided to go with the flow. Since you want to see Dou's background, then I will show it to you.
What can you do after just watching it?
"Mr. Dou is unwilling to persuade you, and you are unwilling to interfere with his decision." Chai Shao sighed upon hearing this: "You two really have... a perfect understanding."
"Of course." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu crossed his arms and said, "Dou Shu'er, he and I are not father and son, but more like - oh, sorry uncle... I got so emotional all of a sudden."
"Hmm... you have a lot of emotions..." Chai Shao was too lazy to say anything more to the boy after hearing this: "Then you continue chatting with the little Taoist priest here, and I will go to visit Xiao Nianchu."
"Don't try to secretly take Nianchu back again." When his uncle left after saying that, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu could only stare at his uncle's back and shout, "Lian'er will definitely beat me up if she finds out!"
"You kid!" Chai Shao burst out laughing when he heard this: "My uncle was much better than you back then-"
"——Please stop it!" Seeing that his uncle was still bragging, King Chu couldn't help but curl his lips and started to sabotage him directly: "You must have forgotten that one time you came home late after drinking and made your aunt angry. If I hadn't pleaded for you, you would have had to sleep in the stable!"
"..." At this moment, Chai Shao suddenly realized that the embarrassing things he had done recorded in front of Li Kuan'er were so numerous that he could not count them all.
Oh... this is really... making me feel at a loss...
When he thought of this, Chai Shao's footsteps became heavier.
But when he turned around and thought that he would soon see the well-behaved and cute little Nianchu, his mood immediately improved.
Well... I can't have all the good things happen to me. Kuan'er... should be the price I am willing to pay for my happiness today...
At this time, Duke Qiao, who was heading to the lobby and waiting for the wet nurse to bring little Nianchu, thought so.
"Zhenxuan, do you feel that my uncle is secretly scolding me right now?" On the other side, after watching his uncle disappear through the Moon Gate, His Royal Highness the King of Chu turned his head and looked at Zhang Zhenxuan: "Yes! He is scolding me!"
"Not really, Your Highness." Zhang Zhenxuan twitched his lips when he heard that. Then he thought for a moment, took out a small sachet from his bosom, and handed it to the King of Chu: "This is the sachet I specially prepared for Xiao Nianchu. Wearing it on your body can repel mosquitoes, calm your mind and prevent diseases."
"Oh, Zhenxuan, you are a qualified godfather." After receiving the sachet, His Royal Highness the King of Chu played with it happily for a while, and then handed it to the black-clad warrior who came from the distant corridor, and ordered him to deliver the sachet.
"Actually, this is what I prepared for Princess Jinyang. Unfortunately, some of the herbs were hard to find, so I had to put it aside. It was only after I came to Qiongzhou that I went to the deep mountains of Lingnan to collect it." Zhang Zhenxuan said this and saw that His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly looked sad. He couldn't help but be speechless: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Are you worried that what Duke Qiao said before will come true?"
“I don’t bother to care about these trivial matters.” His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his hand upon hearing this, and then was unexpectedly silent for a moment before slowly saying, “Zhenxuan, my intuition has always been quite accurate… Just now, I suddenly had an idea, and then I inexplicably thought of the old Taoist priest…”
"Your Highness... Actually..." Zhang Zhenxuan was stunned at first, then whispered: "My great-grandfather... has long been indifferent to matters of life and death, so you don't have to be too sad about it..."
