Tang Zhuyun was worried for the emperor.
"And then their family stayed in the capital?"
The Prince of Jin shook his head. "No."
At that time, the emperor's power was unstable; how could he dare to touch such a vassal king?
If Prince of Min is left in the capital, who will take over the Min Army?
The Emperor wanted to send someone to take over, but he couldn't bring himself to do it!
--Is this the first shot fired against the princes of different surnames?
The Emperor dared not.
However, Prince of Min declared, "My family must remain together. I want to stay in the capital. If you won't allow it, then don't blame me for taking my son back."
Then Prince of Min and his family took a tour of the capital, Princess Consort Min reminisced about their life in the capital.
Well, it wasn't fun or enjoyable, so they left happily.
This trip also led to the birth of a daughter.
After returning home, Princess Consort Min discovered she was more than two months pregnant. She conceived in the capital, and because it was a daughter, her nickname Jinghua.
Tang Zhuyun said, "Luckily it wasn't a son, otherwise it would have been called a Pekingese!"
Holy crap, something's not right!
She suddenly felt a green tinge on her forehead.
"You," Tang Zhuyun pointed her index finger at the Prince of Prince of Jin's forehead, her voice sinister, "Confess honestly, how did you know that girl's given name?"
Prince of Jin raised an eyebrow. "Jealous?"
Before Tang Zhuyun could say anything, he pulled her into his arms and gave her a couple of hard rubs on the top of her head.
"You're finally jealous."
Tang Zhuyun: Was I just too slow to react?
At this point, the Prince of Jin felt extremely aggrieved.
Look, she clearly knows Zhou Yanhui is a woman, and that she has feelings for her...
How did Tang Zhuyun handle it?
--Just pretend Zhou Yanhui doesn't exist.
Tang Zhuyun made up a story off the top of her head. "You know, this is called 'no move is better than move.' Without making a sound, the enemy has already been defeated without leaving a trace."
The Prince of Jin wanted to punish her, and Tang Zhuyun was pregnant.
The Prince of Jin indeed stopped. "... There's nothing here, what are you praising?"
Tang Zhuyun beamed with pride. "Small and nothing are two different things. Subduing the enemy without fighting, you understand?"
If you're not nice to others, I won't be jealous.
So, Gouzi, you really need to keep yourselves in check.
"Then why do I feel uncomfortable whenever someone glances at you?" the Prince of Jin retorted forcefully.
Tang Zhuyun: "Because you're sick and need treatment! Otherwise, why would you come to me, a doctor?"
After saying that, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
She was absolutely thrilled.
She felt that if she traveled back in time, she could participate in a stand-up comedy show.
The Prince of Jin was truly her source of joy.
How could such a domineering yet childish, profound yet affectionate man be won over by her?
But where were we?
"Oh, don't change the subject," Tang Zhuyun snorted. "I'm asking you, how do you know the name of the Prince of Min's daughter?"
The Prince of Jin ruffled her hair twice more, making it a mess, and said with a mixture of helplessness and affection, "Pregnancy really does make you a bit silly. Will our daughter be very clever this way?"
"Don't try to fool me!" Tang Zhuyun said aggressively.
"What is Princess Consort Min's surname?" asked Prince of Jin.
"Yuwen..."
What about me?
"Yuwen..."
"Princess Consort Min is Prince of Rong's sister, and my aunt," Prince of Jin said. "Who is her daughter to me?"
"Cousin!"
Don't you all love marriages that strengthen family ties?
"But you said that cousins cannot marry," said the Prince of Jin.
He remembered everything she said, so how could he have such thoughts again?
Tang Zhuyun blinked. "But you knew her first, hmph."
She just wanted to prove that her guess wasn't unfounded.
"Just a little brat," said the Prince of Jin. "I know Qu Nian; she used to be Qu Nian's little tagalong."
"Who was it last year?" Tang Zhuyun asked like a curious child.
"Heir to the Prince of Min."
"His name is quite interesting; Prince of Min's surname was Qu!"
"His small handwriting is more interesting... never mind..."
Prince of Jin suddenly wondered, why did he make Tang Zhuyun remember another man's childhood name?
"Say it! Your son wants to hear it!"
Prince of Jin: "... He won't listen."
"Yes, otherwise why would we need prenatal education?" Tang Zhuyun said confidently.
It wasn't until I traveled to ancient times that I realized prenatal education wasn't some kind of modern-day sham.
--People in ancient times also paid this tax!
The Prince of Jin, "... Qu Nian's childhood name was Niannu, while my A-Qi. We laughed at each other."
Tang Zhuyun:??
So, it turns out the one with whom the Prince of Jin has a love-hate relationship is the Heir to the Prince of Min?
The gun went astray.
However, given that Qu Nian might be stuck in the past year and unable to welcome the new year, Tang Zhuyun tactfully asked, "You two have a good relationship?"
"Not really. The Xiao Family was in trouble at the time, and I went to them for help."
Both were child prodigies, both were proud and arrogant, so comparisons were inevitable, and they were both unwilling to admit defeat to each other.
However, there is a mutual respect among geniuses, even if they may not admit it.
Therefore, the Prince of Jin expressed some regret regarding Qu Nian's current situation, in which his fate was unknown.
"He helped you?"
"No, we even had a competition. Looking back now, how childish it was." Prince of Jin sighed, stroking Tang Zhuyun's cheek with his fingertips. "Go to sleep."
Recalling the past evoked many emotions, but Prince of Jin kept them to himself, not wanting to affect Tang Zhuyun's pregnancy.
Tang Zhuyun: "What are you two competing in? Who can pee the farthest?"
Prince of Jin: "..."
"You said it yourself, a childish contest."
"We were already sixteen or seventeen years old then, not six or seven!" Prince of Jin said, grinding his back teeth.
"Oh, six or seven years old is indeed better. That Linlin is quite normal."
Prince of Jin: "This is a martial arts competition; I have never competed with anyone before..."
He can pee the farthest! He never beat him!
"Are you afraid of losing?" Tang Zhuyun asked. "Did you develop well later in life? Were you rather insecure as a child?"
The Prince of Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Since you got pregnant, you've really gone too far! We'll talk after you give birth!"
"Hey, no need to wait that long. We can be happy again in three months, hehe."
For the umpteenth time tonight, Prince of Jin was rendered speechless by her.
He suddenly remembered something and lowered his voice, saying, "Keep your voice down!"
Tang Zhuyun instantly became alert, instinctively snuggling closer to him, and whispered, "Are there assassins?"
Prince of Jin: "There is a child."
"Child? What child?"
"Prenatal education!"
Tang Zhuyun took a moment to react, then laughed herself into tears.
How can the Prince of Jin be so Lovely?!
The Prince of Jin blushed deeply at her laughter and pinched her, saying, "Keep laughing! Didn't you say that? Can the child hear you?"
Tang Zhuyun laughed as she said, "No, no, then, then I have to say, hahaha, if we're talking about castration for immortality, you really can castrate yourself!"
Prince of Jin: "Tang Zhuyun! Go to sleep!"
After laughing, Tang Zhuyun pestered Prince of Jin again, "We're not finished yet! Where were we talking about Heir to the Prince of Min?"
