Chapter 74

After getting along with Zhan Zhen for a long time, Xian Sheng automatically understood his meaning as soon as he spoke.

Xian Sheng suspected that this guy had been thinking about nothing else all day long. He was a dignified Crown prince but speaks no different than a local ruffian.

Xian Sheng thought that he could control his expression by now, but he still couldn’t help blushing slightly.

“You…” The words used to scold him in the past are basically useless. He got stuck in the wording and got kissed by Zhan Zhen for a while.

Don’t know how other lovers get along, when he is with Zhan Zhen, they are always inseparable from intimate contacts.

Outside the wind was whistling non-stop, the rain also began to turn from drizzle to a downpour, do not know whether the warmth of the house gives a sense of security, this night, Xian Sheng let him do it several times.

*

How can he be so careless?

Every time this is the case, he has not yet exhausted but Xian Sheng has already fainted. Speaking of recuperating, he didn’t see what the actual convalesce was. Even if he knew that he(XS) wouldn’t get well for a while, he was still a little anxious.

When Xian Sheng felt unwell, he wondered if he would die.

“When you get better, I will take you home to see your parents.”

Xian Sheng was so tired that he couldn’t open his eyes, after hearing this he gave a humm.

Zhan Zhen thoughtfully massaged his waist.

“Only I can raise such a weak and finicky person like you.”

Don’t know who gave him the confidence, Xian Sheng was not angry, since he’s too tired to speak, he cleverly pecked him on the cheek.

On the second day, the sky is clear. Early in the morning, Zhan Zhen got up and Xian Sheng woke up with him. He asked vaguely, “Going to the barracks so early?”

“Getting up to practice the sword.” Zhan Zhen used to practice martial arts unimpeded. He wakes up at a fixed hour every day and practices for half an hour, and then eats and goes to the barracks.

Of course, this was before marrying a lovely wife and occasionally stealing a little break.

Like now.

Before Xian Sheng could say anything, Zhan Zhen had already consciously returned to the quilt and asked, “Can’t bear to be alone?”

“…Hmm.” Xian Sheng rubbed into his arms and said, “My brother will come over later, do you want to accompany him?”

“Anything is fine.” Zhan Zhen said: “It depends on whether your brother wants me to keep company.”

Xian Sheng heard him call Big brother1哥哥/ gege – slightly informal and it gave him goosebumps: “You call him elder brother2大哥/ dage – more formal in the future, otherwise it sounds creepy.”

Zhan Zhen didn’t argue with him and said: “Then let’s do as the little finicky3小娇气/ Xiao jiāo qi → ZZ is teasing XS calling him fussy  says”

“Don’t call me that…”

“I’ll just yell.” Zhan Zhen kissed him again: “Little finicky, little baby4bao bei, little lady5娘子 [niáng zi]a form of address for one’s wife;   a polite form of address for a young woman …”

“Hmm.” Xian Sheng was bashful. 

“Well ……” after a while of fooling around he added: “I also want to take my brother to go shopping in the streets, see the northern customs, eat some specialties, and then buy some to bring back to the father and mother.”

“You are the Crown Princess after all. If you want to go out, I’ll go with you.”

“That’s why I want to discuss it with you. If you are not busy today, you can come home earlier. I’m fine inside the house. It’s all up to you when we go out.”

With no Zhan Zhen around, for those with bad intentions, Xian Sheng and his brother are a big target, wouldn’t it be a good chance to catch them all.

“All right”

Zhan Zhen hardly refuses to do whatever he says.

Xian Sheng slept again for a while, woke up and simply changed into his clothes. He welcomed his brother, and pulled him to look around the new house first and then took him to look at the backyard. He said: “This lake has not completely melted yet. It’s so sturdy, if Zhan Zhen hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have even known this is a lake.”

Xian Shang laughed at him: “You have opened your eyes6discovered new things.” 

“This is natural, I also went to see ice skating, later if brother has time to come back, in time for the winter, you will be able to feast your eyes.”

Talking about this, Xian Shang also heard about it, “After Qin Yi delivered the letter, I reminded him not to come to the north again, I wonder if he listened.”

This is what Xian Sheng wants to talk about: “I hope he can distinguish the situation.”

“Speaking of which, it’s a bit surprising that he would obey and send the letter for me.”

Behind him, Tang Li looked at Xian Sheng and said, “Only the princess can make him (do it).”

“I doubt it.” Xian sheng sighed and said, “Before I personally wrote to him to send troops, but he didn’t listen.”

“Why do you say that?” Xian Shang said, “Are you tired? Brother will carry you.”

“I can still walk. I’ll walk a little slower, hope brother don’t mind.”

The two siblings walked in front, Tang Li followed quietly, and suddenly heard Xian Sheng ask, “Did you tell him the secret?”

“Not yet.” Xian Shang pondered and said: “He is not easy to control. I’m afraid he will do something, so I just made up a lie to fool him.”

“What did you say?”

“I really can’t think of any other secrets you have, so I told him that Daoist Lingqiu said that you will not survive this year, so the family members refused to let you marry and wanted to break off with him.”

“Did he believe it?”

“I can’t figure out his thoughts.” Xian Shang looked at his rosy face and hesitantly said: “Brother came over this time, originally to find an opportunity to take you back, but since you have your own ideas, brother also respects your decisions.”

Xian Sheng smiled, “Thank you, brother.”

“I’ll wait until after your birthday.” Xian Shang paused and said, “What do you think?”

Lingqiu did say that Xian Sheng might not survive the eighteenth birthday ceremony. According to Xian Shang’s meaning, it should be the answer to everything, so he had to spend his birthday with him.

Obviously everything looks fine now, but Xian Sheng’s birthday is in April, and there is more than one month left. No one knows if anything will happen during that time, especially the secret of Xian Sheng’s identity.

“I disagree.” Xian Sheng pursed his lips and said, “if you can go back, please go back earlier.”

His eyes were firm, but Xian Shang’s heart was stunned: “If I guess correctly, this matter must have something to do with your identity… Sheng’er, brother is with you. If something happens, I might be able to help.”

“You are wrong.” Xian Sheng said: “Although you are my elder brother, you are also the prince of a country. Not only can you not stay, but you must leave as soon as possible. With me here, I might drag you down. You can speed up your journey and return to the boundary of South Liang in a month, even if things are revealed by then, South Liang can take precautions early.”

His eyes were a little cold, and he softened a little under his brother’s gaze: “There is no solution to this situation. My brother shouldn’t be too affectionate. I am sure that even if things are revealed, the Jin royal family will find a way to cover it up. Qin Yi is a good knife, it depends on how you use it.” 7Here what XS is trying to say is, if the fact that he is a guy is revealed, the jin family will cover it up even if it means killing XS and if jin try to attack liang, they should manipulate Qin yi into helping liang

Tang Li’s gaze turned red: “Why does the princess have to ……”

“In this life, I will either live in hiding or die with integrity.” Xian Sheng looked at Xian Shang and chuckled, “I have almost lived enough, there is no point.”

After he said that, he thought of Zhan Zhen and he was a little dazed, his heart felt like it was being gently cut with a knife until the flesh and blood came out..

Xian Shang has a flashback.

Sometimes he feels that Xian Sheng is the weakest and most in need of protection in the family, but sometimes he feels ashamed, because Xian Sheng’s toughness is far beyond comparison.

Xian Sheng’s eyes were crystal clear and beautiful. He put away his mood, glanced at Tang Li, and then at his brother’s back.

“Let’s go at the end of this month.” He said: “In these few days, I’ll ask Zhan Zhen to show my brother around.”

When Zhan Zhen came back, Xian Sheng had already been carried back by Xian Shang and was lying nestled on the soft couch, he instantly smiled, “You’re enjoying all by yourself.”

Xian Sheng looked at him sideways and smiled back, “You’re back, after I take a rest, let’s take brother to eat hot pot8Hot Pot is a Chinese food where you simmer vegetables and meat in a kinda broth. It’s really yummy. Especially the Sichuan Hot pot, with Sichuan pepper. It makes your tongue go numb but it still tastes really good. One of my favorite Chinese foods..” 

Zhan Zhen walked over and saw a small plate of peeled melon seeds on the table, and Xian Shang was continuing to put kernels into it.

He turned his head to look at Xian Sheng, who suddenly opened his mouth, Zhan Zhen picked up the small dish and poured him a mouthful of seeds.

Xian Sheng was satisfied, “I had a good rest, let’s go.”

Coincidentally, when I entered the Hot pot store, they ran into Zhan Yin. She was sitting in the lobby alone, picking at the pot on the table angrily. Zhan Zhen was holding Xian sheng and rushed upstairs for fear of being seen by her.

But Xian Shang was a step late, and Zhan Yin suddenly jumped up, “Brother, sister-in-law!!”

Xian Shang had to stop, “Your Royal Highness.”

“Hey.” Zhan Yin looked at him for a moment, her eyes froze, and suddenly smiled and trotted over: “Brother and sister-in-law came to try the Northern Hot pot store? Are you used to eating mutton soup?”

“…I’m not a picky eater.” Xian Shang was not very comfortable with the look in her eyes and said unnaturally: “Crown Prince Zhen is treating us today.”

ZZhan Yin’s eyes tentatively lit up a few more shades: “Sister-in-law is also up stairs?”

“yes……”

Before he finished, Zhan Yin ran up, suddenly looked at Zhan Zhen’s gloomy expression and stopped: “sister-in-law, can I have dinner with you?”

“Of course you can.” Xian Sheng said, “Sit down.”

Xian Shang slowly walked up. Zhan Yin sat across from Ham sheng, not daring to get too close, Zhan Zhen coldly said: “Haven’t you eaten already, downstairs?”

“Yes… I originally ate with A’Jin, but on the way he was called away, leaving me alone.” Zhan Yin said weakly, “It’s just that I did not eat enough”

Xian Shang took a seat and sat down. Xian Sheng said, “let’s eat together with Commander Tang.”

Then he elbowed Zhan Zhen again: “Let her eat together, don’t be mean.”

Tang Li did not stay, he thanked Xian Sheng, said something to Xian Shang, and went back downstairs.

The streets of the northern country were a bit cold, he touched his nose, and saw the merchant shop with a long line up not far away. He casually bought a sesame seed cake and asked, “What’s the situation over there?”

“Hey.” The seller said: “The soup shop or the cake shop, I heard that the crown princess likes to eat them. If not, how can they sell like hot cakes? There is no room for people in the shop.”

“Really?” Tang Li smiled, paid the money, and said, “I will try it later.”

He walked over and took a second look, and suddenly saw a person coming out of the side door. This was not unusual. The unusual thing was the saber around his waist. There was a piece of jade hanging on the sword. It was bright red, but the other half was an extremely rare pink color. Suddenly his face became grave and he squeezed the saber tightly and followed.

The other party turned into the alley, Tang Li quickly followed, and when he reached the corner, a sword suddenly materialized. Tang Li was prepared for a long time and blocked it with the scabbard. The man slowly stepped out from inside. It was a familiar face. :”It’s you.”

Tang Li’s face became ugly: “Qin Yi, what are you doing here again?!”

“Nothing.” Qin Yi took the sword and said coldly: “I just want to see her a few more times.”

“You lunatic.” Tang Li cursed: “Now Prince Shang is in the Capital, you as a Liang person, if you make any trouble, how do you want him to end up?!”

“I will not act rashly.”

“If you hurt Prince Shang, the princess will not forgive you!” Tang Li also took the sword away, breathing quickly, and said, “Qin Yi, don’t mess around. You can’t take her away, and she doesn’t want to go.”

“Then I’ll wait for her to die and when she is buried, I will pry open the imperial tomb and take her back.”

“Qin Yi!” Tang Li said, “Do you know that if you are here, it will only make things more dangerous for her and put Prince Shang in more danger. You know how much she wanted to meet HIs Highness, just lay low for a few days and make her feel a little bit at ease, okay? ?”

Qin Yi left without looking back.

Xian Sheng is not used to eating mutton soup, so today’s Hot Pot is boiled with beef bones. Zhan Zhen picked vegetables for him and put them in a bowl.

Zhan Yin was already full. She looked at Xian Sheng from time to time and after being glared at by her brother, she then went to look at Xian Shang. She  suddenly spoke: “Your family …… all look so good?”

Xian Shang seemed stumped for words

After a long time, he said: “They’re okay.”

“Are you married?”

“…” Xian Shang looked at Xian Sheng subconsciously. The latter coughed and said helplessly to Zhan Yin: “Why is A’ Yin suddenly asking this?”

“It’s nothing…” Zhan Yin glanced at him again: “I just asked.”

She lowered her head and Zhan Zhen said with a sneer, “What, you want to marry to the South?”

Zhan Yin: “…”

She lowered her head, showing a somewhat shy expression.

Zhan Zhen: “?!”

you are mentally ill.
