White Fence Dream

Chapter 219 Picture

In the cabin illuminated by the setting sun at dusk, Li Yu shook a ceramic ball in his hand, swinging it left and right. With the rustling sound, the baby in the cradle followed his gaze.

"Look, she likes it very much." Li Yu turned to Bai Li and said happily.

Bai Li held a wooden monkey in his hand that could jump when a rope was pulled. He pulled it and said with a smile, "This is fun too."

Li Yu smiled even more. The toy seller said that this was for older children, but he still bought it.

In fact, Bai Li was also a child, and he had been without a mother since he was born, so he probably had very few toys when he was young.

Buy a few so both big and small kids can play with it.

"And this." Li Yu said, taking out a cloth tiger from his small bag.

Bai Li put the little monkey down, took the cloth tiger, and made an exaggerated tiger roar to the rocking cradle: "Big tiger, big tiger..."

The cloth tiger is made of colorful cloth, and its eyebrows, eyes, and beard are made of colorful threads. It is so fancy that the baby follows it closely...
"She didn't cry this time." Bai Li said with a smile, "Before, when I pretended to be a tiger, she would cry."

As soon as he finished speaking, the baby in the cradle twisted and cried.

"Is it time to change the diaper? Or is he hungry?" Li Yu said immediately, reaching out to hug the child.

Mrs. Zhuang came in from the outer room with her nanny, looked at the toys scattered all over the floor, and said with a smile, "Come on, it's time for her to go to bed, you guys go out and play first."

What do you mean by going out to play? They are not playing, they are taking care of the children. Bai Li curled her lips and said to Li Yu while holding the cloth tiger: "Let's talk outside."

Li Yu greeted Madam Zhuang with a smile. When Bai Li told him that he had brought the child back to the ship, he also introduced Madam Zhuang.

"That's the person I asked you to keep an eye on earlier." She whispered to him, "I'm watching her now to prevent her from harming me again with others."

Although Bai Li sounded defensive in his words, since he brought the person with him and asked him to look after the child, it was obvious that he was someone who could be trusted.

He didn't ask any questions and just said, "Just let me arrange it."

Sitting in the outer room, Bai Li poured tea and asked, "How is your palace?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "Like all mansions, it's just a place to stay."

Since he lost his parents, it didn't matter where he lived. However, this time he still felt a little different, or rather, he had expectations.

"Wait for me to clean up and get rid of some of Princess Jinyu's men, then come back." He said, his eyebrows flying, "Take the little princess with you."

After all, this ship is a hive of people, good and bad, and the child cannot live here all the time.

Bai Li smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay." He then said, "It's okay here, little princess, look back."

Li Yu turned around and saw that the door of the inner room he had just walked out of was still open. He could see that the lights were bright inside, but there was no baby, Madam Zhuang, or wet nurse...

Li Yu only felt that his mind became stagnant and his originally clear vision became hazy.

"I've separated them." Bai Li said, reaching out and pushing his shoulder, "No one else can see them for now."

As she pushed, Li Yu's body tilted and his vision became clear again. He could see Madam Zhuang arranging the toys on the ground, the wet nurse rocking the baby to sleep, the candlelight flickering, the shadows swaying, the scene was messy yet warm.

He knew her abilities and knew that she could live well anywhere, but he still wanted to be closer to her: "Okay, but I still need to tidy up the palace as soon as possible. The ship is too small, and I can't keep her here forever."

Having said that, he sighed and smiled.

"She shouldn't be like me."

Bai Li looked at him and said softly, "Of course she is the same as you. You are lucky to have Shangguan, and she is lucky to have me as her aunt. You both turned danger into safety. If you survive a disaster, you will surely have good fortune in the future."

Li Yu laughed out loud.

At the same time, footsteps were heard outside the door, accompanied by a soft call of "Your Highness."

It’s Cai Songnian.

This guy still followed.

Li Yu frowned: "What's wrong?"

As he spoke, the door opened and Cai Songnian stood outside looking inside.

"The guests are starting to board the ship," he said, turning his gaze towards Bai Li, "Would you like to..."

Avoid? Bai Li stood up and said, "I'll go to greet the guests. You won't be discovered if you stay here."

Li Yu also stood up: "No, I am a prince now, but the ship is also where I grew up. I have nothing to hide from here."

Cai Songnian couldn't help but look at Bai Li. Will she give him some advice?
Bai Li smiled and extended his hand to invite him: "Then please join me, King Chu, in welcoming the guests."

Cai Songnian curled his lips in his heart, he had unnecessary expectations
Moreover, if she really had His Highness's child, she would go in and out with His Highness to confirm her status.
He stepped back to avoid it, and watched Bai Li walk out. He didn't know whether it was because of the lights and the shadows, or what happened, but his eyes were dazed, and the belly of the slender figure walking towards him suddenly bulged. The sound of a baby rang in his ears, and at the same time, a pair of hands stretched out from the belly, and a baby crawled out...

Cai Songnian screamed, fell backwards and hit the railing.

"Cai Songnian! What are you doing!"

A familiar shout sounded. Cai Songnian grabbed the railing and focused his eyes. He saw Li Yu frowning. The woman next to Li Yu was tall and slender like a willow.

She looked at him and smiled softly: "Mother Cai, what scary things have you thought of?"

What did he think of? Shouldn't he be asked what he saw? Cai Songnian stood up straight with the help of the railing: "No, no, I didn't stand firmly just now."

Bai Li smiled and said, "It's my fault. I didn't wear the right face covering." Then, he pulled up the pearls hanging beside his ears to cover his face.

What does this mean? Cai Songnian was even more confused. Li Yu glared at him unhappily, motioned him to stay away, and followed Bai Li.

Cai Songnian watched the two walk away side by side, breathed a sigh of relief, and frowned. Why did he see such a scene just now? It was like a nightmare.

Bai Li's figure didn't show that she was pregnant.

Cai Songnian looked into the room again.

The door was not closed yet, and the lights were on in the hall, but it was empty and quiet.

Cai Songnian reached out and closed the door, and a commotion broke out in the hall.

"It's Shangguan Yue!"

"You must address him as His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"The King of Chu is here!"

Hearing the noise ahead, Zhou Jingyun walked to the shore and looked up. He saw two people walking out from the bow. The girl was bright and the boy was handsome, and the whole boat was bright and shining.

They are quite a match, Zhou Jingyun thought.

Perhaps the light was too bright, so he lowered his eyes.

……

……

On the ship today, the King of Chu is the focus of everyone's attention.

Zhou Jingyun felt much calmer.

He walked along the colonnade, took the wine from the maid, and chatted with the singing girl who came to greet him, but declined the invitation to sit with her.

"The room is bustling with activity, but the prince is all alone." The singer said with pity.

Zhou Jingyun smiled: "No, no." Then he looked up and saw Bai Li looking at him from the fence on the second floor.

Their eyes met, he smiled, and Bai Li also smiled.

"Sir!"

Li Yu, who was standing in the crowd, also turned around and shouted loudly with a smile on his face, and apologized to others.

"I have heard that the son of the Marquis of Dongyang is visiting the ship. Today I can finally entertain him in person."

This is normal. Who doesn't want to accompany the prince of Dongyang? Unfortunately, the prince declined them. The previous times, it was the female host who pestered Zhou Jingyun. Now that Li Yu is back, as the host and the King of Chu, he naturally wants to meet Zhou Jingyun.

Everyone dispersed and Zhou Jingyun was welcomed to the highest point.

This was also a place he was familiar with, but this time in addition to Bai Li, there was also Li Yu.

"This is the first time we've sat down and talked formally." Li Yu said, with a sigh, then smiled and raised his hand to salute, "I'm sorry for disturbing you earlier."

Although he didn't say why he was disturbed, Zhou Jingyun understood what he meant. When Bai Li just returned to Beijing, he did something that involved Shangguan Yue. Shangguan Yue was aware of it but was confused, so she appeared in front of him many times, trying to find the problem.

It's just that he knew less than he did back then.

Of course, that’s not the case now. He knows everything he should know.

He looked at Li Yu and said, "Ali has already told me about what happened before. It really put you in a difficult situation at that time." He smiled and said, "But it also shows that Your Highness is sharp and intelligent."

After saying that, he looked at Bai Li, as if asking her.

Bai Li smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes." He also smiled at Li Yu, "Your Highness is extremely intelligent."

You can praise yourself, why do you call Ah Li to join you? Ah Li naturally knows whether he is smart or not. Li Yu smiled, he was wrong, he shouldn't have mentioned the past, she was with him before.

He reached out and picked up the wine glass: "Prince, I toast to you."

Zhou Jingyun raised his glass with a smile: "Your Highness, please."

"Zhou Jingyun and Li Yu were drinking and chatting happily on the boat?"

In the room early in the morning, Zhang Ze put down the tea in his hand and looked at the person who came.

This was the person he sent to keep an eye on Zhou Jingyun.

The visitor nodded: "Yes, Li Yu suddenly came to the ship and entertained guests as before, and then talked and laughed with Zhou Jingyun all night without separating, and they were very close."

It was unexpected that Zhou Jingyun went to the ship, but it could be explained as relieving his depression, so it was not surprising either.

Li Yu also showed up, which was unexpected, but after all, that place originally belonged to him, so it was not surprising.

But it must not be that simple for these two people to meet on a ship.

Zhang Ze looked at the morning light and said to himself, "Is Zhou Jingyun the target of the King of Chu? Or is the King of Chu the target of Zhou Jingyun?"

I felt a little awkward getting into the new plot, so I wrote it a little short. I'll sort it out again. I really don't dare to write without any drafts, for fear of missing something and not having the chance to revise it.
