The Road to Peach Blossoms

Compared to Gu Qi who knows nothing about His Highness the Ninth Prince, Chu Heqing is not. Although he has never seen His Highness the Ninth Prince in real life, the Ninth Prince always occupies a place in his memory, every day.Chu Xinglan kept opening and closing his mouth, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince..." What's wrong, his words are full of childish innocence and extreme liking for his peers.

For example, at the dinner table:

Prime Minister Chu and Mrs. Chu sat side by side in the front seat, and Mrs. Chu lowered her head next to Chu Xinglan, and he said again: "I knew that His Highness the Ninth Prince is not stupid, he just doesn't listen to the class, today he successfully recited the "Mr. Saying ", surprised everyone... But I know it's because he didn't sleep in class yesterday... Mother, you don't know how ridiculous their surprised expressions are...!"

Mrs. Chu's helpless "eat, sleep, and sleep" didn't stop him from talking. Judging by his excitement, he seemed to be able to talk continuously for an hour.

"His Highness Ninth Prince is actually a low-key genius. According to my opinion, he is no worse than Uncle Gu's Seventh Brother..."

"By the way, the day before yesterday, His Royal Highness Ninth Prince saw a little/bird that fell out of the nest, and he was so anxious that he looked like he was about to cry, which made me very anxious. Fortunately, a wooden man in black came to help!"

"Three-year-old looks old, and seven-year-old looks old. His Highness Ninth has always been kind-hearted and kind-hearted. If His Highness Nine is lucky in the future..." Prime Minister Chu paused, "It must be the blessing of the people of my Xuanwu Kingdom," he said suddenly Said: "If in the future, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince becomes the emperor, what should you do?"

Chu Xinglan put down his chopsticks excitedly: "That kid must be his assistant minister!"

"Then don't you study hard, have you read all the books, scriptures, etiquette, and righteousness seriously?" Prime Minister Chu took the opportunity to teach his son, but he hated iron for being weak, and his tone was a little harsh, "It's not so easy to be a good minister and a good prime minister." , Your Majesty has quite a few princes, and the princes are still young, so there is no need to worry, there will definitely be a fight between dragons and tigers in the future; if you become a drunkard, won't you be a hindrance to His Highness the Ninth Prince?!"

After hearing this, Chu Xinglan couldn't even eat a bite of food.He turned his head to look at Chu Heqing who was eating with his head down. He was just eating, but the man's movements couldn't be more calm; Prime Minister Chu's gaze fell on the elder son as the younger son's gaze fell, and his gaze instantly became soft and satisfied Li Liao: "Qing'er is better than you in doing it. Who doesn't say that he is calm and talented. If it weren't for this congenital deficiency, I'm afraid it would not be your turn to be the companion of His Highness the Ninth Prince."

It’s always like this, they always say this; parents and people around remind him all the time that he is not as good as his sister, and they always pay more attention and love to her sister... Now, even the only thing he has , Do they also want to deprive His Highness the Ninth Prince who is more than his sister?

Chu Xinglan couldn't mind it, he still couldn't mind it, his still immature face showed indignation, and said angrily: "Father, you always prefer my sister, but my sister...is just a daughter, no matter how good she is, she can How about it? Women cannot be the companions of the Ninth Highness, and women cannot inherit the family business of the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

The faces of the Chu family couple changed drastically.

Chu Xinglan shouted loudly to his sister: "Sister, His Highness Ninth is mine/Don't think about robbing His Highness Ninth with me/Otherwise I want you..."

Prime Minister Chu slapped the table and was furious: "Xing Lan!!"

Chu Heqing still remembered this sentence, he was thinking at this moment, what would you do if he took the Ninth Prince away?My dear brother, you are still living in the frontier in disgrace, if there is no accident, you will never see His Highness the Ninth Prince in your life.

Xuanwu Kingdom, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Looking at the sky, the first ray of sunshine has penetrated through the layers of clouds; following the beauty of the surrounding clouds, a low-key and luxurious carriage stopped in front of the prime minister's mansion.

The Xiangfu opened the door to welcome the distinguished little guests.

Bei Chenyin raised the curtain of the small window, and watched his baby being warmly received by the prime minister and his wife and then disappeared from his sight. He originally didn't want his baby to show up in public, but he couldn't persuade his baby to insist on going. He was never reluctant Contrary to any of his thoughts and opinions, as long as the little baby acts coquettishly and hugs him, he can no longer be cruel; as the little baby grows up, more and more people covet him, what should he do... …

After coming out of Chu Heqing's "boudoir", the prime minister and his wife looked at each other: Is it safe to leave them alone?

Prime Minister Chu: "It's okay, it's okay, they are still young..."

Mrs. Chu: "Besides, Qing'er is a man, it's just..."

Prime Minister Chu: "His Highness Ninth seems to like our Qing'er very much. When will we make Qing'er's true gender public?"

Mrs. Chu: "Don't make up your own mind, Qing'er has always had his own opinions, let's ask him before we talk; otherwise, if your son is angry with you, I don't care about you."

Prime Minister Chu: "Okay, okay. The eldest son of heaven and earth is the biggest. We do owe a lot to Qing'er."

Mrs. Chu's eyes were slightly wet: "Master, don't talk about it, it was my fault back then, I knew that I was suffering from anxiety, and I didn't have a few years to live..."

"Since you know that your health is not good, why do you insist on giving birth to Xinglan?" Prime Minister Chu was furious, "I don't care about those..."

"I'm sorry for Qing'er, and I'm sorry for you, I can't let the Prime Minister's Mansion lose an heir..."

"Don't say any more, haven't you been doing well all these years?" Prime Minister Chu's nose was sour, and he kissed his wife's lips crisply. "You are dead, I will accompany you."

After the kiss, Mrs. Chu burst into tears.

"We still have hope. The white-haired genius doctor has a benevolent hand and a heart to help the world. When the time comes, you and Qing'er will both get better..."

Chu Heqing on the other side didn't know what his parents were thinking. He prepared a table of various cakes, put his fingertips on his lips with a slight smile and said, "Yesterday I knew His Highness was coming, and today I specially woke up Good morning, I don't know what Your Highness likes to eat, so I just made some."

Xiaotuanzi sat on the bed, put his hands on his lap, and nodded obediently.

"I like whatever Sister Qing'er does~"

Chu Heqing couldn't help but rubbed his head, pointed to the soft and tender glutinous rice dumpling inside, and said, "Su-style red bean and glutinous rice cake dumpling, as the name suggests, uses glutinous rice and red beans as the main ingredients, and then uses sugar As an auxiliary material, it is a pastry made. It has a sweet and glutinous taste, and the combination of red beans and glutinous rice is sweet and not greasy."

"Your Highness, shall I feed you?" The delicate and compact plate can be fully supported by one palm, Chu Heqing pulled back the wide sleeve with one hand, and held the small plate containing red bean and glutinous rice cakes with the other. His Highness Ninth Prince said warmly on his lips, "Can you try my handicraft?"

Of course, the little prince couldn't wait to swallow it in one gulp, the mouth was soft and glutinous, and when the sticky glutinous rice layer slipped into his throat, the sweetness of the red bean core melted between his lips and teeth.

Maybe it's because His Highness Jiu is still a child, so his eyes are especially big on his white and tender face, his eyelashes are thick and curled up, trembling slightly, the black and white grape eyes are shining like gems When he looks at you intently, his eyes reveal bright and clear innocence and childishness, and you can't help but immerse yourself in his eyes; and when he smiles innocently, his eyes will bend In the shape of a crescent moon, you can't wait to hold the whole world in front of him.

Chu Heqing couldn't look away, he murmured: "Why do you like me?"

"...Huh?" Nuomi Duanzi tilted his head and was stunned for a moment, then he quickly showed a smile without hesitation, and he exaggeratedly compared his hands, "Because all girls in the world should be happy and happy Yes! I love them! All sweet-smelling, soft, innocent girls should be cared for by a flower protector like me..."

Chu Heqing avoided his fiery gaze, and lowered his eyes helplessly: his heart was usually immersed in the warm spring water, or in the bitingly cold ice water.

"Sister Qing'er is dignified, virtuous, quiet and wise, but unfortunately suffers from such a disease. If there is no future..." Xiao Tuanzi's pink and tender fingers are twisted together with shyness, "When I grow up, I will be yours." Husband, are you okay?"

"...Okay." Chu Heqing replied softly, "No one will marry me in the future, you..."

His voice was as soft as a whisper, and the Ninth Prince couldn't hear it at all, so he could only put his little hands next to his ears, and made a posture of listening attentively: "Sister Qing'er, what are you talking about?"

Chu Heqing recovered from the strange state, "No, it's nothing..."

"Then let's continue eating dim sum, I can't let down your good craftsmanship~"

"it is good."

After this, Gu Haiyan found that he could often see Chu Heqing.On the way to send His Highness the Ninth Prince to Yuelu Academy, he would always meet Chu Heqing, who majesticly rubbed the raised hair on the top of His Highness Ninth Prince, spread his fleshy little palm, and put the sachet on it .

"Sister Qing'er!" His Highness Ninth Prince threw himself into the other party's arms happily.

"Your Highness." The man opened his arms, his eyes were as gentle as water.

What is it about entering the palace to see the queen's aunt.

Gu Haiyan felt very uncomfortable. His Highness the Ninth Prince had never been so close to him, and he had never seen such a gentle look in his friend's eyes. One day, his patience reached the limit, and he asked Chu Heqing out.

"What do you mean?"

Chu He covered his lips and smiled lightly: "That's what you saw."

"Every lady, you should know whether a man and a woman can kiss or not?" Gu Haiyan couldn't laugh, "Don't deceive His Royal Highness the feelings of the Ninth Prince."

"Why did I deceive His Highness's feelings?" Chu He looked coldly at his former friend, "You are only allowed to approach him, and I can't do it?"

"No, don't do it because of..."

"I like him!" Chu Heqing's words were shocking, "You are so excited, why don't you like him too? Yes, His Highness is so cute, it's normal for you to like him..." When it came to the end, he was even bewildered laughed.

"Since that's the case," Gu Haiyan pursed his lips, "The muddled marriage between us..."

"It's over!" Chu Heqing curled up a lock of hair lazily, and said coldly, "I will go back and tell my father, and we will each rely on our own ability, so you can do it yourself."

Gu Haiyan looked at the daughter of his former friend with complicated eyes, and felt bitter on the tip of his tongue, but unfortunately he was a man, he lost at the starting line in this battle, and in the future, it will not be clearer.

The author has something to say:

Mrs. Chu and Chu Heqing both suffer from congenital heart disease, the full name of which is congenital heart defect. Chu Heqing is fine. It is an atrial septal defect, one of the types of non-cyanotic congenital heart disease. Infection, hoarseness, and emaciation, fatigue, hyperhidrosis, palpitations, and shortness of breath caused by systemic circulation ischemia. Healed, Chu Heqing is the lucky one among them; while Mrs. Chu is more serious, tetralogy of Fallot, which belongs to cyanotic congenital heart disease, has been very difficult after Chu Xinglan, and it is not easy to live up to now. It all depends on Prime Minister Chu's careful maintenance.
