Chapter 71: Seven-year-old princess, the princess' rival in love
The little secret guard did not stay in Prince Yu's study for too long because he was afraid that he would be silenced if he knew too much.
Li Chengyu felt a little regretful after asking. To be honest, he really wanted to silence this little brother, but fortunately, Prince Yu was very kind...
Facts have proved that Hua Ling was really not frightened, but just a little confused.
Why do you feel that Tanyou and the others seem to know what's going on, but she doesn't?
Li Chengyu didn't intend to tell her, he just grabbed her and kissed her, hugging her to drive away all her doubts before he gave up.
…
This is the second Lantern Festival that Li Chengyu has spent with Hua Ling. The fireworks he watched will soon be the second New Year's Eve.
Li Chengyu turned his head and looked at Hua Ling, who was concentrating on watching the fireworks in the sky.
"Flower spirit."
"Um?"
Li Chengyu hugged her: "Are the fireworks nice?"
Hua Ling nodded: "Yeah, it looks good."
Li Chengyu nudged her: "Do you want to make a wish later?"
Hua Ling thought for a while and looked up at him: "Okay, the prince will also make a wish!"
Li Chengyu shook his head: "I might as well forget it. I don't have anything else I want. But having said that, has Hua Ling's last wish come true?"
Hua Ling shook her head silently. Compared to last year, Hua Ling is much more knowledgeable and sensible today.
Li Chengyu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? It turns out it hasn't been realized yet."
Hua Ling remained silent, a little cautious.
Because last year, Hua Ling made a wish to Li Chengyu, but she didn't say what it was, mainly because Hua Ling refused to say anything.
So Li Chengyu didn't know about it until now, and he forgot about it afterwards.
Li Chengyu became interested: "But then again, what did you wish for last year?"
Hua Ling still pretended to be deaf, and Li Chengyu licked her ears: "Little princess, now you are my king's son, why can't you say it?"
Hua Ling secretly cursed in her heart, saying that she would probably make someone angry, so she shouldn't say it.
For this kind of topic, she became familiar with it again and again. Over time, Hua Ling also understood that Li Chengyu did not like polyandry, and she made this kind of wish last time, and she still faced it.
He promised it.
Speaking out now is just asking for trouble, and she is not that stupid.
Hua Ling's tone was vague: "In short, the last wish... is actually not that important."
Li Chengyu: "???"
"Oh, my lord, look! They're red! Red fireworks! They're so beautiful! Look, look!"
Li Chengyu looked at her intently, a little speechless. Should he change his attention so abruptly?
However, he didn't like to dwell too much on this. Seeing that she refused to say anything, he thought it was because she still insisted on expressing her wish and it wouldn't work, so he didn't ask any more questions.
But to be honest, Hua Ling didn't actually want anything this year. She found that, in fact, she was already very happy to have a prince, and she didn't have too many ideas anymore. As for entering the mortal world at the beginning
Those plans are actually not that important anymore.
When she tasted love for the first time, she didn't quite understand it, but Li Chengyu taught her a lot.
In any case, Hua Ling has only fallen in love with one person for so long, and this person is Li Chengyu, her husband and her prince.
This time, Hua Ling still made a wish sincerely, but this one was very different from the last one.
Her wish is very simple. May everyone around her be safe and prosperous. May there be less suffering in the world. May the people she loves be worry-free throughout their lives. May the people she cares about be in good health for the rest of their lives.
The clothes Li Chengyu made for Hua Ling were still red, but the style was very different from the last time, mainly because this time she was attending the palace banquet as a princess.
"I didn't even catch up with the Queen Mother's birthday this year." Hua Ling looked at the clothes in front of her, liking it very much, but also a little regretful.
When they returned from Linzhou, Queen Mother Yunlan's birthday had already passed.
"It's okay, I can catch up next time."
"Um!"
Hua Ling often comes to the palace, so even the little princess in the palace recognizes her.
"Princess Yu, are you here again?" The Sixth Princess looked up at Queen Mother Yunlan in her arms.
Hua Ling liked children very much and lowered her head to talk to her: "Yes, yes, I'm here again."
The sixth princess looked up at Li Chengyu again, but Li Chengyu didn't pay attention to her and didn't respond to her.
"Princess Yu, do you have a good relationship with your uncle?"
Hua Ling nodded: "Yes! Your uncle is my husband!"
The sixth princess sighed, and then said to her seriously: "Then let's grow up and be sisters!"
Hua Ling: “??”
The seven-year-old baby said to Hua Ling seriously: "I like my uncle, so I must marry him when I grow up. And you are my uncle's royal concubine, so when I grow up,
When we grow up, how about we be sisters together?"
Hua Ling immediately became anxious when she heard this: "I don't want it, I don't want to be a sister with you!"
The sixth princess was puzzled: "Why?"
Hua Ling also reasoned with her seriously: "Because the prince is mine, he is my husband, and he can only be mine. I will not share him with anyone! And the prince certainly will not
Just give up the idea of marrying you!"
Li Chengyu couldn't help but laugh. His little princess was jealous of the little baby and had to refute the childish words.
Sixth Princess: "You're talking nonsense! My little uncle likes me very much!"
"He likes me best!"
Queen Mother Yunlan laughed loudly listening to this conversation: "Oh, these are such a pair of treasures. The Ai family was very happy when they saw you two."
Li Chengyu said warmly: "From now on, let Hua Ling come to the palace more often to visit the queen."
Queen Mother Yunlan nodded: "Hey, but it's best for you two to come together, so that Aijia will be happier."
Li Chengyu smiled and nodded: "Listen to your mother."
But Hua Ling didn't care what they said now, she was concentrating on arguing with the Sixth Princess.
When Li Chenglan came in, he saw this scene which was not a happy one, but exuded a kind of warmth.
It was like a painting, as if they were a family, and if he walked in, it would destroy this warm scene. With this thought, he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Sitting there was his queen mother, and in her arms was his daughter. They were obviously a family, but now they felt like an outsider.
There is little family affection in the emperor's family, and the emotions are cold, but suddenly such a picture appears in such a cold place, which is sometimes both warm and dazzling.
Li Chenglan was still smiling: "What are you talking about? Are the princess and the princess quarreling?"
"Chengyu has met the emperor brother."
"Hua Ling has met the emperor."
Li Chenglan nodded lightly: "Okay, there is no need to be polite as a family. Queen Mother, the banquet is about to start, let's go over now."
Yunlan nodded: "Yeah, okay."
This time, Hua Ling did not sit next to Queen Mother Yunlan, but sat next to Li Chengyu.
Next to them was Mu Sirong and his wife. Hua Ling waved happily to Shen Miaomiao, and Shen Miaomiao nodded with a smile.
Mu Sirong's original intention was not to let Shen Miaomiao come. After all, Shen Miaomiao was different from the past, but Shen Miaomiao wanted to accompany him.
When Shen Yiran saw her daughter appearing here, she frowned and gave some instructions, and looked at Mu Sirong with some blame.
Mu Sirong felt a little unfair...
When the banquet began, Hua Ling was not very interested in the dancing of these beauties.
Hua Ling asked in a low voice: "My lord, you grew up in the palace when you were a child, right?"
Li Chengyu was already lacking in interest. Hearing Hua Ling suddenly ask, he nodded immediately.
"Yes what's the matter?"
"So were you happy when you were little?"
Hua Ling felt that the palace was actually not fun.
Li Chengyu nodded: "Not bad."
In the past, with the careful care of his mother and concubine and the unique preference of his father, his childhood was indeed good.
It can be said that he is the little bully who walks around in the palace. Sometimes he sneaks out of the palace and runs to the Prime Minister's Mansion. It doesn't matter if Hua Xiyue finds out. It is just a symbolic pat on the head twice, which is not serious at all.
Hua Ling looked at the fireworks in the sky: "When the prince was young, was this the only time to see fireworks? How pitiful."
Li Chengyu shook his head, his eyes softened, and said softly: "No, when I was a child, I personally set off fireworks."
With Hua Xiyue here, as long as he wants to, he can't do anything? His father won't say a word, so who dares to say anything?
Only then did Hua Ling remember what Ming Feng had mentioned before.
Li Chengyu said softly: "Actually, there were no palace banquets or fireworks in the past."
"Um?"
This was also added by Li Yanchen because of Hua Xiyue, just to please Hua Xiyue.
Later, this became a custom in the palace.
Li Chengyu looked at her: "Do you think the palace banquet is boring?"
Hua Ling shook her head, then nodded hesitantly, and Li Chengyu smiled.
"Well, actually, I also think it's very boring."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Your Majesty, after it's over, let's go to Chengdu Balcony!"
Speaking of which, they actually haven't been there for a long time.
Li Chengyu recalled all the things he had done the previous two times he went there, all of which were treated frivolously by his little princess.
But this time, it won’t happen. Even if she wants to do something, it probably won’t be her!
Li Chengyu readily agreed: "Okay."
After the palace banquet was over, after leaving the palace, fireworks were still being set off outside. It was the best choice to watch them on the balcony.
"Flower spirit."
"hold head high?"
"Haven't you always wanted to visit Xiangzhou? How about we go this year?"
Hua Ling's eyes lit up: "Is it true, Your Majesty? Are you serious?"
Li Chengyu nodded: "Well, are you happy?"
"Your Majesty, isn't he busy?"
"Probably it won't be busy anymore."
Hua Ling looked happy and pulled Li Chengyu's arm with excitement on her face.
