Chapter 1035: They're all hungry
"Your Highness, is it necessary to go through so much trouble?" After listening to His Royal Highness the King of Chu's analysis, Zhang Zhenxuan thought for a moment, "If I were to come... I would only need to wait for a year of great disaster—"
"——Stop it." When His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw that Zhang Zhenxuan had already performed the opening move of "The Heaven is Dead", he quickly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Zhenxuan, you are still our family's priest, and you will become the chief in the future... So you should be more disciplined in what you say and do, right?"
"Uh..." Zhang Zhenxuan looked at His Royal Highness the King of Chu who was earnestly admonishing him to be "steady". He felt that... this scene was ridiculous no matter how he looked at it...
"Anyway, you should reflect on yourself." His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw that Zhang Zhenxuan's eyes were beginning to become strange, so he quickly changed the subject: "Xuan Ce, during this period of time, you should pay attention to the movements of the Five Surnames and Seven Families and the Guanlong Family. I have a hunch that they will definitely do something weird."
"Yes." Wang Xuance said respectfully, "Your Highness, I will inform you as soon as I have any news."
"Yes." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. He then turned his gaze to Yuan Tiangang who was selecting coral ornaments beside the bookshelf and said, "Don't look at them. The good stuff is all in the treasury. It's not like you don't know the way."
"Your Highness, what you said is..." Yuan Tiangang laughed when he heard it: "I just have nothing to do, so I want to have some fun."
"Nothing to do, right?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu touched his chin and gave him a task: "Well, Zhang Wansui has been looking for a suitable place to build a horse farm in Qiongzhou recently. You can accompany him to support him."
"Your Highness, there is no need for me to take action in such matters..." Yuan Tiangang felt that he was being "wasted".
"Not happy?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu raised his eyebrows when he heard that.
"How can that be possible!" Upon seeing this, Yuan Tiangang immediately said respectfully: "I swear to defend your horse ranch until my death!"
"Get lost..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said unhappily, "Qiongzhou belongs to me!"
"Then I said the wrong thing." Yuan Tiangang thought for a moment and said, "In short... I will defend everything Your Highness has until my death!"
"..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was silent for a long time after hearing this. After a long while, he slowly said, "Gangzi, you make me feel strange now..."
"Your Highness, I am very sad when you say this." Yuan Tiangang said aggrievedly, "I have always been loyal to Your Highness!"
"Okay..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu sighed after hearing this: "Then... Taoist Master Geng Geng, you must understand one thing - the reserve of war horses is of utmost importance to us, so I first found Zhang Wansui, a talent who is good at raising horses. Next, what I have to do is to give him a platform to fully display his talents.
Now is the time to build the platform. So I need you, Gangzi, a retainer of the Dou family who can fully represent me, to come forward and let everyone in Qiongzhou know clearly that no one is allowed to obstruct the horse administration!"
"Your Highness... Don't worry..." After hearing the sincere words from His Highness the Prince of Chu, Yuan Tiangang said solemnly, "I will definitely fulfill your mission!"
"I will never let you down!"
-------------------------------------
After finishing the discussion in the study, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu came to the backyard and saw Dugu Yue squatting in the flower garden, digging a hole with a flower hoe. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Yue'er, what are you doing?"
“Brother Kuan?” Dugu Yue turned her head upon hearing the voice and showed a bright smile to His Royal Highness the King of Chu: “I’m… humph… you still have the nerve to ask… I’m just helping you clean up the mess!”
"Oh~~" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu came to Dugu Yue's side and stretched out his hand to pull her up: "Good Yue'er, such a kindness, I must repay you with my body... Otherwise... tonight..."
"Oh!" Dugu Yue saw her husband saying weird things again, and immediately broke free from Li Kuan's hand in shame and anger: "I don't want to bother with you..."
"Alas..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu suddenly let out a sigh pretending to be sad: "It turns out that Yue'er doesn't care about me..."
Originally, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was just making a casual joke.
But next...
"It's rare..." Dugu Yue was worried that Li Kuan might misunderstand her after hearing what he said, so she responded to him in a sincere tone without hesitation: "Yuer... it's rare..."
"I didn't hear clearly," His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu curled up the corners of his mouth when he heard that, then turned his face to the side and approached Dugu Yue: "Yuer..."
“You only know how to bully me!” Dugu Yue was like a kitten cornered by King Chu. With nowhere to escape, she finally exploded: “Woo… I’m going to complain to Sister Lian’er!”
"Hey..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu gave the other person a kiss on the cute little face: "Yuer, are you in a bad mood now?"
"Is this considered having a temper?" - As soon as King Chu finished speaking, a smiling voice sounded from behind him: "I was wondering why Sister Yue'er didn't come back after planting flowers for so long. It turns out that she was blocked in the garden by His Highness."
"Ha...ha..." Upon hearing Wu Xu's voice, His Royal Highness the King of Chu turned back awkwardly, only to find that there was more than one person coming - Wei Shuyi and Feng Jiaojiao were also standing beside Wu Xu with a half-smile on their faces, looking at him together: "Well...is it time for dinner?"
"Your Highness, you still know you're hungry..." Feng Jiaojiao said with some anger, "Today, Sister Wanwan personally cooked for you..."
"Well... I am indeed hungry." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu nodded when he heard this. Before he could continue speaking, Wei Shuyi, who was standing next to Feng Jiaojiao, suddenly blinked: "Husband... are you hungry? Or..."
"Sister Shuyi..." Wu Xu didn't expect that there was a 'military general' standing next to him: "Please don't continue talking..."
"I'm hungry, I'm all hungry..." Upon seeing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said frankly, "After all, I'm in the north, so I'm really as chaste as a virgin..."
