Chapter 779: Wangye, you think too much
Xiao Tianyao finished bathing, but Lin Chujiu still didn’t come back. Xiao Tianyao wanted someone to find her, but before he opened his mouth, the guard came to report: “Wangye, the Eldest Prince, and the Seventh Prince asked for an audience.”
Xiao Tianyao frowned a little and said with a cold face, “Come in!” He will go to the capital tomorrow. Seeing them today was inevitable.
“Ziwen, Zimo has met Imperial Uncle. Imperial Uncle returned to the camp, but this nephew didn’t go out to meet Imperial Uncle in person. This nephew asks Imperial Uncle to punish me.” The Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince walked into the thatched house together and saluted respectfully.
Xiao Tianyao came back very suddenly and didn’t say hello to anyone in advance. Although the Jinwuwei Army knew it earlier, they didn’t take the initiative to tell the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince. When they received the news and rushed out to meet Xiao Tianyao, Xiao Tianyao had already entered the camp with General Yuan Shao and was talking to Lin Chujiu at the door.
The Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince wanted to come forward, but they just took two steps when they saw Lin Chujiu crying with Xiao Tianyao. If they came forward on that occasion, Lin Chujiu would take revenge on them.
In order not to offend Lin Chujiu, the two princes retreated silently as if they had seen nothing.
“No need for the ceremony.” Xiao Tianyao said coldly, a little impatient. “Don’t worry about the reception. You are benwang’s nephew, you don’t need to be polite. Sit down.” He just didn’t want to deal with the two princes, so he came back without saying anything.
“Thank you, Imperial Uncle.” Although the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince pleaded guilty, they did not take it seriously. After all, it was not Xiao Tianyao’s fault not to meet them. As long as Xiao Tianyao was reasonable, he would not cause them trouble.
After the two sat down, the Seventh Prince continued to play with the innocent child in front of them. His big eyes kept moving around like a curious child. But of course, he wouldn’t be foolish to ask questions. Children in the palace can be naive, but they must not be stupid.
The Eldest Prince took the main responsibility of communication. After thinking for a moment, he said: “Imperial Uncle went back to the camp today, you must have been exhausted all the way. Under such circumstances, this nephew should not… …”
But before he finished his polite words, Xiao Tianyao interrupted impatiently. “If you have anything to say, say it directly, my patience is limited.” Did they think they were Lin Chujiu and think he was free to listen to their gossip?
“Cough, cough…” The Eldest Prince’s face turned red and coughed in embarrassment. Under Xiao Tianyao’s cold stare, the Eldest Prince turned serious and said: “Imperial Uncle, this nephew wants to ask you when you will enter the capital?” He also wanted to speak straight to the point, but if he do that, what if their Imperial Uncle found it offensive?
As everyone knows, the whole Eastern Country thought highly of Xiao Tianyao. If he annoys their Imperil Uncle Xiao and he used it as a reason to send troops, he will be miserable.
“Tomorrow benwang will return to the capital.” It takes one day to arrive at the imperial capital, so to say, Xiao Tianyao can go to the palace and face the emperor the day after tomorrow.
“So fast? Imperial Uncle is tired all the way. Don’t you need to rest for 2 days?” Just one day, he doesn’t know if his imperial father can prepare everything in just one day.
However, it doesn’t matter whether he was prepared or not. They have known for a long time that Xiao Tianyao will enter the palace to report. If the emperor doesn’t prepare early, he will never be ready.
“No, I will go to the palace early to report, so that the emperor can feel at ease.” Xiao Tianyao was not afraid of the Eastern Emperor at all.
“Cough, cough…” The Eldest Prince was choked by his saliva again and pleaded for the emperor with insufficient confidence: “The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Imperial Father is also worried about the safety of Imperial Uncle. Only when he sees Imperial Uncle he can rest assured.”
It was understandable why the eldest prince has no confidence. Because even he doesn’t believe it.
“Really?” Xiao Tianyao slightly curved his lips, but his smile doesn’t look like a smile at all. The Eldest Prince had a feeling of being seen through. He was embarrassed and didn’t dare to look at Xiao Tianyao.
The room was silent. Xiao Tianyao didn’t mean to break the silence. The Eldest Prince wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say when he opened his mouth.
Seeing this, the Seventh Prince sighed secretly, raised his innocent smile, and looked at Xiao Tianyao. He said in a low voice: “Imperial Uncle, have you finished talking with the eldest brother? Can I go to play with Imperial Aunt after talking?”
The Seventh Prince looked afraid of Xiao Tianyao, and his eyes were timid, but he still had hope.
He knew that Xiao Tianyao would not argue with him.
“Go!” The result will be all the same. Xiao Tianyao won’t argue with a child. Even if this child was very scheming, he won’t take it seriously.
“Thank you, Imperial Uncle.” The Seventh Prince jumped down, bowed to Xiao Tianyao, turned around, and then ran outside. Xiao Tianyao who was in the room heard him ask the guard where Lin Chujiu was.
When the Seventh Prince left, the Eldest Prince also got up to leave. Xiao Tianyao didn’t embarrass him.
Whether it was the Eldest or Seventh prince, Xiao Tianyao didn’t pay attention to them. Because he knew that his enemy was not the Eastern Country.
Xiao Tianyao didn’t know whether the Seventh Prince had found Lin Chujiu, but Lin Chujiu didn’t appear until dinner.
“Wangye, it’s time to have dinner.” That was right. Lin Chujiu brought the dinner.
Xiao Tianyao looked at Lin Chujiu in surprise as he watched Lin Chujiu serve the meals beside him. Xiao Tianyao couldn’t tell what it was like. He straightened his clothes and asked solemnly, “Is there anything wrong with you?” No one will be courteous for nothing.
However, for the sake of Lin Chujiu’s rare hospitality, he will agree to it.
“I’m alright.” Lin Chujiu looked at Xiao Tianyao in a confused way. She didn’t understand what he mean.
“Are you really okay?” Then why are you so attentive when everything is alright?
“I stayed in the camp all day, what can happen to me?” The lesson learned from the past was still vivid in her eyes. Now she walks carefully every step in the army, in fear of something bad will happen.
“Mmm.” Since it was alright, it must be… Lin Chujiu has figured it out.
With this in mind, Xiao Tianyao’s eyes on Lin Chujiu became softer.
Although this woman was stupid, she still has brains. She finally thinks about it and knows how to please him.
Xiao Tianyao nodded contentedly. He walked away, washed his hands, and turned to see Lin Chujiu handing him the clean handkerchief, which made him even more satisfied: “From now on, let’s do this.” Couples should behave like husband and wife, not hide from him all day.
“Huh?” Lin Chujiu was shocked for a moment. She didn’t quite understand what Xiao Tianyao said.
What do this from now on?
What did she do today?
She just pulled Xiao Tianyao and cried, then went out for a walk. When she came back, she happened to meet the soldier delivering dinner, so she brought it in. Just after Xiao Tianyao went to wash his hands, she found that there was no clean handkerchief on the side, so she took out her own.
She doesn’t seem to do anything special today.
“Let’s eat.” Xiao Tianyao looked at Lin Chujiu’s dumbfounded appearance. He thought she was embarrassed, so the smile on his face deepened a bit.
