Chapter 1033 A Match Made in Heaven
"Duke Zhao should not know about this." Yu Lian'er frowned slightly and said, "If it were based on his personality, he would find a way to choose a noble lady from the five surnames and seven noble families."
"Lian'er..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu did not expect that his wife could actually think of this: "What you said makes a lot of sense..."
"Hmph..." Yu Lian'er glanced at her husband in reproach after hearing that: "I don't believe that Your Highness can't see this. You said that just to make me happy..."
"Uh..." It was only at this moment that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu remembered the past when he was teased by his wife in the backyard of the Yu Mansion: "Well... since you have seen through it, then I will just admit my mistake. Lian'er——"
When His Royal Highness Prince Chu was halfway through his words, Yu Lian'er suddenly gently rubbed his hand with her foot: "Alright... Your Highness, Lian'er doesn't blame you - you are the Prince of Chu of the Tang Dynasty, with great military exploits and a great reputation, but even so, you are willing to go to such great lengths to make me happy, what else can I be dissatisfied with?"
"Lian'er..." After hearing what Yu Lian'er said, His Royal Highness the King of Chu blinked his eyes and pretended to be relaxed: "Did I risk my life for you in my previous life? Otherwise...how could I be so lucky to marry such a considerate wife?"
"Am I the only one who is considerate?" Seeing her husband teasing her in a nonchalant manner, Yu Lian'er couldn't help but playfully tap the back of his hand with her thumb and said, "If the other five sisters hear this, Your Highness, you'll be busy..."
"Hehe... Then please, Princess, please be kind and keep this secret for me." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu did not say anything more. He just silently used a handkerchief to dry Yu Lian'er's feet, then picked her up from her seat by the waist, walked to the bed, and gently put her down: "Lian'er, you have suffered during this period of time."
"It's not that hard, but your Highness..." Yu Lian'er held her husband's hand with some distress: "Fighting on the battlefield... you may be in danger of your life at any time, and you like to charge into battle... I am really worried."
"From now on... I will be careful." His Royal Highness the King of Chu pursed his lips after hearing this: "Try not to get involved in danger personally."
"I feel relieved with your words, Your Highness." Yu Lian'er smiled when she heard it.
"Are you sleepy?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu gently squeezed his wife's hand and said, "I heard that pregnant women are sleepy. If you are tired, let's take a rest."
"I am a little sleepy..." Yu Lian'er gently held Li Kuan's hand and said, "But I am reluctant to leave..."
"I'm not here." His Royal Highness the King of Chu comforted him softly, "Then... let's talk about other things. For example... um... Lian'er, do you think the palace I built for Sizi in Yazhou should be expanded?"
"We should indeed expand the scale." Yu Lian'er smiled softly and said, "Your Highness, I have to remind you: Don't just focus on Sizi. If Princess Changle and Princess Lanling come to Qiongzhou in the future, it will be too late for you to make temporary arrangements."
"Yes, Lian'er, you are right." His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded upon hearing this, but then he added, "I will discuss this matter with Xuan Ce again."
"Your Highness, I know that you are planning to relocate civilians from Lingnan to Qiongzhou while building the palace." Yu Lian'er saw that her husband didn't want her to worry about these things. After thinking it over again and again, she decided to express her concerns: "But this move is a bit...inappropriate...after all...Chang'an..."
"Lian'er, it's alright." His Royal Highness the King of Chu shook his head upon hearing this: "I don't care what Chang'an thinks - in five years at most, I will lead my army to go to sea to conquer Japan.
But before that, India, Tubo and Tuyuhun must be resolved.
Therefore, I must do this. The population of Qiongzhou is only about 200,000 at most, and the population of my other fiefs is not enough. So... I can only do this."
"But you and His Majesty..." Yu Lian'er hesitated to speak at this moment.
“Actually… Lian’er… there is something that I find very strange.” In front of his beloved, His Royal Highness the King of Chu gradually revealed his true thoughts: “When I saw that tyrant this time, I had a very strange feeling – sometimes he seemed to really regret what he had done in the past, but… this feeling of regret… when expressed from him, seemed very twisted…”
"Is it because Your Highness led the army thousands of miles to help, which made His Majesty realize your intentions?" Yu Lian'er thought for a moment, and then quickly overturned her own reasoning: "No... Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven... There are some things... A father can choose to believe, but the Son of Heaven cannot..."
"Wow..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this: "How can my wife be so smart? It's hard to imagine... When our daughter is born, will there be other ways for geniuses to survive in this world?"
"Your Highness!" Yu Lian'er was teased by her husband and couldn't help but said coquettishly, "I only hope that Your Highness will be a strict father in the future and don't spoil our child."
"Strict father, kind mother..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said thoughtfully, "Lian'er, how about we switch roles in the future? You be the strict mother, and I be the kind father?"
"There's no point in chatting today..." Yu Lian'er's energy, which she had managed to accumulate, was completely exhausted by her husband's divergent thoughts: "Your Highness... I'm tired..."
"Okay, let's go to bed now." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu quickly got up and tucked in the quilt for Yu Lian'er, then began to walk to the outer room: "Lian'er, I'll sleep outside. If you have anything, you can always call me."
"Your Highness...you..." Yu Lian'er couldn't help but laugh when she heard that: "For this kind of thing...let Yao'er do it..."
"Can a personal maid be trusted with a personal husband?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was already lying on the couch in the outer room. "Go to sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, your husband will accompany you for a walk in the garden."
"Hmph..." Yu Lian'er couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and annoyed when she heard this: "Your Highness, can you sleep now?"
"Lian'er, is there anything else?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has a talent for playing dumb that is comparable to his military talent.
"Then Sister Yan..." Yu Lian'er thought for a moment and said, "If you really come to Qiongzhou, you must treat her well."
"Lian'er..." After a long while, the voice of His Royal Highness the King of Chu was heard from outside: "After returning from Goguryeo this time, I spent a month thinking about it on the sea. I carefully considered that since I came to Chang'an, it seems that except for you, Shuyi, Wanwan, Yue'er and Qingrui, I have never provoked other noble ladies - well, I can be sure... Of course, the incident with Yuwen Xiuduoluo in Mount Li before... That doesn't count."
"Your Highness, do you think it's too little?" Yu Lian'er was finally relieved at this moment, but no matter how relieved she was, she couldn't let His Highness the King of Chu see it.
So she just sneered and said, pretending to be sarcastic: "Yuwen Xiuduoluo... As long as I am still the Princess of Chu, she will never be able to enter our house."
"Wife... I really love you..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu suddenly stood up and squatted beside Yu Lian'er's bed, smiling and gently kissing her on the forehead: "Don't worry, from now on, there will definitely be no new people entering our family..."
"That's better..." Yu Lian'er felt her husband's sincerity, so she reached out and gently pulled his ear: "This won't happen again!"
"There won't be a next time." The King of Chu did not fall into the trap set by the Queen of Chu: "This king and Lian'er are a match made in heaven."
"Um……"
