Ying Zheng held a lantern in one hand and led the horse in the other. Hu Yu rode Maple Leaf and strolled along the outer wall of the palace.
That is Hu Yu. If it had been anyone else, Ying Zheng would have been reluctant to let Maple Leaf out. You must know that on the way back to Xianyang, Meng Tian and Meng Yi wanted to ride Maple Leaf to experience the feeling, but Ying Zheng was not willing to do so.
The area around the palace was already very empty, and it was getting dark, so naturally no one could be seen.
"Hu Yu, I haven't seen you in the past few months, have you thought about me?" Ying Zheng lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that outsiders would hear him.
"Yes." Hu Yu's voice was as thin as a mosquito, "I am worried about the king's safety every day, and look forward to his early return every night."
"Is Hu Hai good?" Ying Zheng asked, "When I saw him yesterday, he didn't seem to be close to me."
"He is still too young. Of course he will feel unfamiliar after the king has been away for so long." Hu Yu said, "I think it would be nice to get familiar with him for a few more days."
"That's true. However, in a few days, I will go to Lishan to bring back the Jing family class and the Meng family army." Ying Zheng said.
"Well, the king must be very concerned about the progress of the construction of the royal tomb, right?" Hu Yu asked softly.
"Yes." Ying Zheng exhaled lightly and said, "This trip to the Western Regions was all for the purpose of building the royal tomb. Now I have successfully brought back the Jingjue people, but I don't know what is going on over there in Lishan Mountain. Although Zhao Gao said that he often receives letters from Jing Fan, I am still thinking about him in my heart."
Ying Zheng went to the Western Regions to build the royal tomb. Hu Yu knew this, but Ying Zheng never told the harem what the reason was.
"Your Majesty is also anxious to know whether Jing Jue Ren can solve the problem, right?" Hu Yu then asked.
This question really hit the point. What Ying Zheng is most worried about now is not any change in the situation in Lishan, but whether the skilled ghost hands can successfully create the dense stone. If they cannot create the dense stone, Not only would this trip be in vain, it would also delay the construction of the royal tomb.
"Maybe." Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "But I have confidence in the Jing Jue people, and they will not let me down."
"Then, Your Majesty, you should be kinder to Jingjue. He sent horses and people to help. This is not a small favor." Hu Yu said seriously.
"Why, the one who doesn't mind giving me the troops is a woman?" Ying Zheng looked at Hu Yu.
Hu Yu smiled and said in the same tone: "Why, does the King think Hu Yu is a coward?"
"Uh..." Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still said, "To be honest, I really like her a little bit."
There are only two of them here, and it's a good time to explore Hu Yu's tone.
"Haha." Hu Yu covered his mouth and laughed, "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country. If you want to marry someone, do you still need to ask the harem for their opinion?"
"It's better to ask." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "I don't want your harem to be in chaos all day long."
Hu Yu sighed softly and said, "Yes, it would be great if the sisters were as carefree as Hu Yu, then there would be no disputes."
Hu Yu was indeed right. Not only in the palace, but in the entire world, if there were no more calculations and competition between people, there would naturally be no more disputes.
"It would be great if they were all like you," Ying Zheng said. "It's a pity that you can't represent everyone."
Hu Yu's bright eyes flashed and he said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this resistance does not come from the palace."
Ying Zheng nodded and said noncommittally: "Indeed, distance and identity are the most critical factors. It would be great if she were not the queen."
"If she is not the queen, the king may not like her." Hu Yu joked.
Ying Zheng: "..."
"Hehe." Hu Yu said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't worry. There must be a way to solve this problem. I'll help you."
"What can you do?" Ying Zheng said.
"You don't have to worry about it." Hu Yu blinked and said with a smile, "This woman only thinks about women.
People know best. "
Ying Zheng knew that the key to the problem was not what Hu Yu thought, but
It was hard to explain, so he just followed Hu Yu and said, "Okay, okay, I'll leave it to you."
"Haha, in that case, I will give this maple leaf as a thank you gift." Hu Yu said happily.
Ying Zheng: "..."
It turned out that this was Hu Yu's purpose.
Is it fun to play like this every time?
"If Maple Leaf really gives it to you, do you think I still have a chance?" Ying Zheng said helplessly.
"That's true." Hu Yu seemed to have known for a long time that Ying Zheng could not agree, "If you give it to your concubine, how will you explain to Queen Jingjue."
"If that's the case, you are not helping, but adding trouble." Ying Zheng said.
"That's okay. You can just ask me to take care of it." Hu Yu changed his condition.
"This..." Ying Zheng paused and said, "It seems acceptable, but that is all done by servants."
"The dirty work should be done by the servants," Hu Yu said. "I just need to comb its mane and give it a bath, hehe."
"Yeah, okay." Ying Zheng knew that if she didn't agree to Hu Yu, she would definitely find another excuse to get close to Maple Leaf.
"Haha, thank you, Your Majesty." Hu Yu laughed happily like a child.
"Do you really like this horse so much?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Of course, doesn't the king like it?" Hu Yu asked.
"Of course I do."
"That's fine," Hu Yu said, "This maple leaf is beautiful, it's a thousand-mile horse, and it's humane. Who wouldn't like it?"
Ying Zheng held the horse, rolled his eyes, and then turned around and said, "Maple Leaf is not the only one in the world. You know, there are many such bloody horses in Dawan Country."
"Yes?" Hu Yu's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
"I don't know exactly how many there are. After all, this is Dawan's national treasure." Ying Zheng said, "However, I have already discussed with King Qiemo. He will contact Dawan to purchase a few bloody horses. When the time comes, I’ll give you another one, okay?”
"Really?" Hu Yu's eyes almost popped out of his sockets.
"Of course it's true." Ying Zheng said, "Otherwise, Maple Leaf would be too lonely. If there are other horses, wouldn't it be better to let them have more foals, hahaha."
"Haha, this is a good idea." Hu Yu also agreed with Ying Zheng's statement, "Then let's make it a deal."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
The two walked and chatted, and the wind became colder, so Ying Zheng turned the horse's head and took Hu Yu back to the palace.
After returning Maple Leaf to the stable, Ying Zheng took Hu Yu to Nan Su's palace.
Because he had to go to the stable to see the maple leaves, Hu Yu sent Hu Hai to Nan Su and asked Nan Su to help take care of him.
Fusu is almost one year old. He is quite strong and his skin is as smooth and fair as his mother's. However, his eyes and mouth look quite similar to Ying Zheng's.
Hu Hai is a few months younger than Fusu, so he is naturally smaller than Fusu, but his eyebrows look very much like Hu Yu's.
Seeing Hu Yu who had just entered the door, Hu Hai opened his short arms and shouted "Ah, ah" in a milky voice, seeming to be calling Hu Yu.
Fusu stretched out his short hand towards Ying Zheng.
Hu Yu picked up Hu Hai, and Ying Zheng picked up Fu Su.
"Call daddy." Ying Zheng said leisurely to Fusu, "Call daddy and daddy will give you candy."
Nan Su said angrily from the side: "Look, you just entered the house and the cold air hasn't dissipated yet. You hugged the child and asked him to call you daddy. You were not afraid of the child getting cold."
"The descendants of the royal family are not so valuable." Ying Zheng said to Nan Su, and then nodded Fu Su's little nose, "Call me daddy."
"Dad." Fusu opened his small mouth and shouted crisply and vaguely. Although the sound was not loud, it made everyone present.
surprised.
"Ha, haha." Ying Zheng said in surprise, "Did you hear that? He shouted, he spoke, haha."
Hu Yu was the first to come to his senses and murmured: "This kid speaks so early."
Nansu walked to Ying
Next to Zheng Zheng, he looked at Fusu and said angrily: "You heartless person, your mother worked so hard to give birth to you and raised you to be fat and white. Your father has just come back. Just call him, hurry up." Call me mother, or I’ll spank you.”
Fusu seemed to be hurt. He frowned and pouted, seeming a little aggrieved.
Ying Zheng chuckled and said, "Look at you, what's wrong with you? There's nothing wrong with the child and his father. If he calls me father, it means that his teachings are good."
Hu Yu also came over and said, "Sister, you have never taught this child to call her mother, have you?"
"Yeah." Nansu nodded.
"Then you can teach me and give it a try." Hu Yu said.
"Okay." Nansu responded, then put his face close to Fusu, changed his tone just now, and said softly, "Fusu, be good, call me mom."
Only then did Fusu's little face bloom into a smile again.
"Call me mother." Nan Su repeated it after seeing the effect.
"Mom." It was still a not too loud milking sound, but Fusu's cry was much clearer than when he called Ying Zheng just now.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, he screamed, he screamed." Nan Su happily shook Ying Zheng's arm.
"Haha, yes, both parents are screaming." Ying Zheng was also overjoyed, "It seems that Hu Yu is right, you haven't taught it before, no wonder, my child, if you had taught it earlier, maybe you would have told me earlier .”
Hu Yu blinked, looked at Fusu, and then at Hu Hai in his arms.
"You are also called mother." Hu Yu teased Hu Hai and said.
Hu Hai just grinned, showing the two little teeth that had just grown out. They were very cute, and I will help you teach them. Ying Zheng handed Fusu to Nansu and came to Hu Yu's side.
When Hu Hai saw Ying Zheng coming, his smile became even brighter, and his mouth said "woo, woo" as if he was calling something.
"Call me daddy," Ying Zheng said.
Hu Yu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, you are here to help, aren't you here to teach him how to call me mother?"
"That's not possible. In that case, he won't call me mother when he meets me in the future." Ying Zheng said with his eyes widened.
"Haha." Nansu and the two maids behind covered their mouths and laughed.
"Exactly." Hu Yu said disdainfully, "Why don't we, Your Majesty, compete to see who can teach Hu Hai first? The loser is willing to be punished."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng asked curiously, "What are you betting on?"
"Just bet..." Hu Yu thought for a while and said, "Just bet on Maple Leaf's ownership for one month."
Ying Zheng: "..."
I'm still thinking about it at this time.
"Want to bet?" Hu Yu urged.
"Just bet, I'm afraid you won't succeed," Ying Zheng said.
Hu Yu stopped talking to Ying Zheng and leaned into Hu Hai's ear: "Call me mother."
Ying Zheng was unwilling to show weakness: "Call me daddy."
"Call me mother!"
"Call daddy!"
Hu Hai looked to the left, then to the right, a small face that seemed to be tangled.
"Call me daddy. If you call me daddy, daddy will lead you to ride on a big horse." Ying Zheng said.
"Call me mother, if you don't call me mother... mother won't give you milk." Hu Yu said not to be outdone.
Ying Zheng: "..."
At this time, Fusu in Nansu's arms shouted again: "Dad!"
Hu Hai in Hu Yu's arms seemed to sense something, and immediately shouted: "Dad!"
Although Hu Hai's voice is more childish, you can still hear that the word "Dad" is what he shouted.
Ying Zheng and Hu Yu originally wanted to joke with each other and make each other laugh, but unexpectedly Hu Hai actually spoke, and the two of them couldn't help but froze.
Isn't this child a child prodigy?
