I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 223 Letter from Ye Dingzhi

"Is this... going to be okay?"

Hearing the screams coming from outside, Chu Jun was a little worried.

"It's okay, my brother knows his limits."

Chu Yi, who was holding her nephew, lifted the child high in her arms and said with a smile, "Come, call me auntie."

"Auntie."

Xiao Chuhe, who was just over one year old, was not afraid of strangers. He called out to her in a crisp voice, which made Chu Ai laugh even more happily.

"She's as pretty as my brother's child, and much cuter than that taciturn Chuan and that naughty Yue Kang."

"Yue Kang?"

"It seems that my brother promised his father-in-law to let one of the children take the mother's surname."

Chu Jun said in a daze, "I remember you said they were twins, right? I gave them gifts. When you go back, remember to bring them back."

Chu Ying shook her head and smiled, "It's not one pair, it's three pairs. Ninth brother already has six children, five sons and one daughter, two pairs of twins, and a pair of boy-girl twins."

"Huh?! All twins?!"

Chu Jun exclaimed, and laughed happily: "Ninth brother, this... is so lucky, so lucky!"

Xiao Ruofeng took over the conversation: "Speaking of which, the children in our family are about the same age as your Western Chu prince and princess. Is it possible for them to be related?"

When Chu Zhao heard this as soon as he entered the room, he immediately became angry.

"Xiao Ruofeng, you are looking for death!"

The Xiao family is so bold that they not only covet his own sister, but also his little daughter. Is it because he has too good a temper now?

Xiao Ruofeng trembled all over, smiled apologetically, and didn't dare to speak.

Chu Zhao snorted coldly, did not pursue the matter further, and took out the gift he had prepared.

With a wave of his sleeves, the gifts were placed on the ground, piled up like a small mountain. It was simply a miraculous skill.

Except for Chu Yi, everyone present was shocked or full of disbelief.

"This is... the universe in his sleeves?!"

"Isn't this a story from a storybook? Is there really such a thing as hidden secrets in this world?"

"After more than two years of not seeing you, the Emperor Chu has become even more unfathomable."

Chu Jun didn't say anything, but just looked at his brother in shock, his eyes full of pride.

Chu Zhao was too lazy to explain, nor could he explain the existence of the system space. He simply took out a jade pendant and hung it around the little guy's neck.

It can be seen that the jade pendant has a hollow carving of the word "Chu", which is not ugly, but not beautiful either.

It can be seen that it is a piece of top-quality jade. Just looking at its gloss and texture, you can tell that it is priceless.

But this is not important. After all, their Xiao family is the royal family of Beili, and they have seen all kinds of top-quality jade.

The important thing is, the moment Chu Zhao took it out, Xiao Ruofeng felt an extremely strong sword intent, which made even this master of the Free and Easy Heaven Realm feel a dangerous aura.

So, he quickly winked at his brother, and Xiao Ruojin understood instantly. He didn't bother to be polite with Chu Zhao, but just clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I thank the King of Chu on behalf of Chu He."

"I'm giving it to my nephew. Do I need you to thank me?"

Chu Zhao rolled his eyes at him, turned around and said to his second sister, "Sister, when we recaptured Qingzhou last year, I talked to them. The old man and the uncles didn't blame you too much. If you have time, you can take Chu He back to see them."

The Qingzhou Hu family, Chu Yun's maiden family, is absolutely loyal to the State of Chu, especially Concubine Hu, who has a deep love for her father, the emperor.

After learning that Chu Jun had fallen in love with Xiao Ruojin and had given birth to a son for Xiao Ruojin, she chose to commit suicide.

It is said that he kept murmuring before his death: Your Majesty, I am sorry for you...

After that, the Qingzhou Hu family severed their relationship with Chu Yun.

It can be said that Chu Yun’s health deteriorated rapidly, in large part because of the death of Concubine Hu and the severance of ties with the Qingzhou Hu family.

Chu Jun opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, he mustered up the courage to ask, "Are they... okay?"

"The old man has not been in good health in the past two years, but after I visited him, they are all fine now."

As to why she had been in poor health in the past two years, she knew without asking that it was because of her mother's death.

Chu Jun hummed with great guilt, resisting the urge to cry: "That's good, that's good."

Chu Zhao opened his mouth to say something to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only direct his criticism towards Xiao Ruojin.

"Xiao Ruojin, you wouldn't mind if my sister returned to Qingzhou, Chu State, right?"

Although he had a gentle and smiling face, Xiao Ruojin's heart trembled. He had no doubt that Chu Zhao would beat him up if he minded. He quickly replied, "To be honest, I owe your sister. She should really go back to her parents' home. How could I mind?"

"In that case, let's do it now. Second sister, you come back with me."

"I..." Chu Jun paused, and finally sighed: "Chu He is still young, it is not convenient for him to travel far, maybe next time."

Saying that Xiao Chuhe is still young is just an excuse.

In reality, she was just running away.

I don’t know how to face my mother’s death, nor do I know how to face my grandfather’s family.

Chu Zhao knew it, but he didn't try to persuade her any further.

There was no way. The Qingzhou Hu family had a very bad impression of Chu Yun. Even after his persuasion, there was still no improvement. The most they could do was to let Chu Yun in.

The subsequent topics basically revolved around the children of the two families, and the atmosphere became noticeably more cheerful.

After chatting for a while, Chu Zhao stood up and warned solemnly: "Xiao Ruojin, my sister is willing to sever ties with her family for you. If you dare to betray her, I will personally come to Tianqi to kill you!"

Xiao Ruojin's face straightened, he stood up and said, "Don't worry, I will never let your sister down in this life."

"Better so."

Chu Zhao snorted, and as if changing his expression, he turned his head to look at his second sister, and instantly put on a smiling face: "Second sister, take care of yourself, and don't give the jade pendant I gave to my little nephew to anyone else."

Chu Jun hummed, then realized belatedly that his brother was about to leave, and quickly stood up.

"Are you leaving?"

"I would like to stay longer, but if I stay longer, some people will probably lose sleep."

Chu Zhao glanced at Xiao Ruojin with a smile, then put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Besides, there are still many things to do in Chu State, so I dare not stay for long."

"Well, state affairs are important. Wait for me for a moment. I'll bring some gifts for my brother and sister-in-law and my nephews and nieces."

Having said that, without waiting for Chu Zhao to speak, he pulled Chu Ai and took away all the servants in the hall.

Obviously, this is to give them space to discuss state affairs.

Xiao Ruojin opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Chu Zhao spoke first: "I came here only to visit my second sister and nephew, not to discuss state affairs. Besides, you and I both know that there is no need for us to talk."

"But didn't you say before..."

Chu Zhao interrupted Lei Mengsha directly: "Before was before, now is now. When Xiao Ruofeng decided to give it a try, there was no possibility of peace talks between our Chu State and Beili."

"Brother, this is my fault."

Xiao Ruojin shook his head: "Even if we can negotiate, we in Beili will never agree to the conditions he proposed. In the end, we will still fight, unless our second brother ascends the throne."

Chu Zhao smiled faintly: "You can see it clearly."

"Xiao Xie should have left the city by now. I really can't think of anything else he can do for me. Can you please help me, Emperor Chu?"

"You can't imagine it because he has no value to be used at the moment."

"Then why did you take him away?"

"Because of our previous cooperation, I have some friendship with him. Anyway, I promised him to save his mother, so I might as well take him with me. Of course, you can rest assured that there will be no Xiao Xie in the future."

Xiao Ruojin nodded. "I will issue a wanted order."

"Hypocrisy, if it were me, I would just kill the defeated prince."

Xiao Ruojin shook his head and took a sip of wine. "You are wrong. I have never thought of killing them. At most, I would imprison them. I would never do such a despicable thing as secretly eliminating any of my brothers."

Chu Zhao laughed and said nothing.

"You do not believe?"

"What do you say?"

Xiao Ruojin snorted lightly: "I will prove it to you."

"What happens between you brothers is none of my business. Just treat my second sister well. She has never betrayed you. Even when her mother threatened to die, she never betrayed you. Don't let her down."

"I know what kind of person the Queen is. You don't need to remind me!"

Chu Zhao sneered: "Xiao Ruojin, take good care of your Beili, don't let it be destroyed by my son in the future." "Chu He will never be weaker than your son."

He is playing tricks on me, but Xiao Chuhe... another Xiao Ruofeng. I wonder if the White King will be the next Xiao Ruojin.

Chu Zhao looked at him deeply and said nothing more. He closed his eyes and waited for Chu Ying and the others to come back.

An hour later.

There was a pile of gift boxes of all sizes, which was no less than what Chu Zhao and Chu Ai gave.

Chu Zhao didn't bother to be polite with his sister. He waved his hand, put all the gift boxes into the system space, and left the palace with Chu Yi and Xiao Xie's mother.

Afterwards, Xiao Lingchen, who had been tortured for more than an hour and was in great pain all over, almost crawled into the palace and collapsed on the ground. It was very difficult for him to speak, but his expression was extremely serious as he said, "Brother, I want to go to Western Chu."

Xiao Ruofeng hurriedly helped him up and sighed, "Little brother, Chu Zhao will never marry his sister to you, give up!"

"No, I will never give up even if I die."

Xiao Ruofeng sighed.

Xiao Ruojin hummed.

"You can go, but I have one condition."

Xiao Lingchen was instantly overjoyed: "Brother, don't just ask for one condition, even if it's a hundred or a thousand, I will agree to it."

"If you can't marry the Princess of Xichu, don't come back."

Xiao Ruojin said this, but what he was thinking in his heart was, if you bully me, my brother and I will "bully" your sister and your daughter, and in the future I will let my son "bully" you too.

Xiao Lingchen was stunned when he heard this: "Huh? Didn't you ask me to be a spy?"

Xiao Ruojin was too lazy to pay attention to him and went straight to find the queen who was seeing Chu Zhao and others off.

……

……

Half a year later, Yuelu City.

In late spring, Chu Zhao was holding the hand of his little daughter in the pavilion and teaching her to walk.

Three women, each pushing a baby stroller, walked in from outside.

Next to them were two kids who could already walk very steadily, and Xiao Lingchen, a pig who wanted to take advantage of others.

Yes, Xiao Lingchen has already come to the State of Chu, and follows Chu Ying all day long, like a dog-skin plaster that cannot be shaken off.

At the beginning, Chu Ying would beat him up, but now she is quite used to him following her.

More importantly, he would occasionally subconsciously ask Xiao Lingchen for help.

This was an extremely dangerous signal, so much so that Chu Zhao felt annoyed whenever he saw Xiao Lingchen, and he immediately spat out a word.

"roll!"

"Very well, Your Majesty."

Xiao Lingchen grinned and rolled behind Chu Ying. Because he was afraid of being beaten, he picked up Chu An and Yue Kang in each hand.

Yueyao pushed the stroller to Chu Zhao's side and said with a smile, "Don't be so mean to him. Ling Chen is still a good guy."

Chu Zhao glared at Xiao Lingchen before asking, "Didn't you go out shopping? Why are you back?"

"I'm tired of shopping."

Yueyao said this and took out an envelope and handed it to Chu Zhao.

"What's this?"

"A letter sent by Ye Dingzhi."

Chu Zhao was stunned. He took out the letter from the opened envelope and asked, "Why did Ye Dingzhi write to me?"

"Please go to the full moon wine party."

At the same time, in Xueyue City.

Camellias are everywhere.

Baili Dongjun was lying on a bamboo bed on the hillside of Cangshan Mountain, taking a sweet nap.

In his dream, he cut open the Heaven Gate with a sword, then climbed up the stairs and came to the outside of the Heaven Gate.

Inside the Heavenly Gate, thousands of fairies were dancing in the wind with swords in hand, as if welcoming his arrival.

Baili Dongjun's eyes swept among the fairies one by one, but he still couldn't see the face he expected.

"What a meaning." Baili Dongjun waved his hand, jumped down from the sky gate, and then rolled down from the bamboo bed.

So, I woke up from the dream.

Baili Dongjun opened his eyes and found a white dove circling above him, but he had just woken up from a nap and was too lazy to move, so he just stared blankly.

Then, the pigeon pooped.

Baili Dongjun turned his body to the side, and the shit fell beside him.

"What a risk, what a risk!"

Just as Baili Dongjun was rejoicing, something hit him on the head.

He reached out and touched it, and found it was a small bamboo tube. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then turned over and sat up.

He weighed the bamboo tube in his hand, then squeezed it gently and crushed it. There was indeed a letter hidden inside.

Baili Dongjun opened the letter and saw the handwriting on it was very vigorous and it was obvious that the person who wrote the letter must have been in a very good mood at that moment.

"My friend Dong Jun..."

Baili Dongjun read the opening and then went straight to the signature at the end.

"Well, it's Ye Dingzhi!"

Baili Dongjun hurriedly shook the letter paper and quickly scanned the contents of the letter.

"Amazing, amazing, they even have a child. Ye Anshi, this name is good, good, but it lacks a bit of domineering power."

"Outside Gusu City, Hanshui Temple, let's go!"

"Hey, how did he know the address of Snow Moon City?"

"Oh, so it was this old man named Wangyou who told him. But who is this old man Wangyou, and how did he know about Xueyue City?"

Nowadays, Xueyue City is quite famous, but people in the world only know that there is such a place as Xueyue City, and few people know its address.

Just when Baili Dongjun was puzzled, a clear voice rang out.

"Wangyou is a friend of mine. Why is Ye Dingzhi with him now?"

As these words were spoken, Nangong Chunshui, dressed elegantly in white, walked up from the foot of the mountain.

"It is said that after we parted last time, he built a hut outside Hanshui Temple and lived there. The old monk Wangyou in the temple was afraid that he would go insane while practicing martial arts, so he kept watching him. Before, he was worried about being discovered, so he hadn't contacted me. But recently he heard that I'm very powerful and that I'm in a place called Xueyue City, so he wrote to me saying that his child is almost one month old, and he wanted to invite me to a full-month banquet." Baili Dongjun said as he folded the letter and put it away.

Ever since Baili Dongjun entered Xueyue City, he would travel with a sword every two or three months, visiting various countries, then stay in the city for a while, and continue traveling, making a name for himself in the world.

As a result, the name of Xueyue City spread.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Chunshui immediately revealed a playful smile: "They all have children."

Baili Dongjun covered his ears and said, "Master, have you been bribed by my mother to be her lobbyist? Are you also going to urge me to get married?"

Just a few days ago, his mother brought his younger brother to Xueyue City.

"Your mother said that if you don't get married, she will not have you as her son."

"No, no." Baili Dongjun covered his ears and shook his head: "Mother wants to have a grandson, so I will be Ye Anshi's adoptive father. In this way, I will have a child, and mother's wish of having a grandson can be fulfilled."

Looking at the childish Baili Dongjun, Nangong Chunshui couldn't help but smile: "Yueqing is a good kid, and your mother is very satisfied."

"I just want my fairy sister."

Nangong Chunshui sighed and asked, "When do you plan to leave?"

"It's better to do it today than to wait for a day." Baili Dongjun said anxiously.

"No hurry, the envoy from Bai Xiao Tang will arrive today."

"What messenger?"

"This year, Bai Xiao Tang will reopen the martial arts rankings. Bai Xiao Tang will send an envoy to announce the list. Where do you think your name will be?"
