Three Princes Gather Together

  "Your Highness, when did the young lady and the Sixth Prince become acquainted?" Qi Shu had been standing on the side, watching the commotion, before finally speaking up.

  The king let out another sigh, his eyes slightly sunken, with a certain thought, his hands clasped behind his back.

  "Old friend, don't mention that you have this question, I also don't know. Just now when the sixth prince came to the door and said he had an appointment with Yu Jiong, I thought I heard it wrong."

  It seems I'm really incompetent as a father, I don't even know when my daughter became familiar with the Sixth Prince.

  "You said that over the years, I've been too immersed in my own emotions and neglected her, resulting in her seeing this bland expression on me now."

  Thinking of his daughter's attitude just now, Ming Wangye's eyes seemed to have added a few more fish tail wrinkles.

  Qiu Shu slightly narrowed his old eyes and comforted:

  "The children have grown up, and there are some things that parents can't control. You've had a lot on your mind in recent years, King Wang, so it's understandable that you might overlook something from time to time."

  "Hmm, one day, someday... " King Ming's lips opened and closed, as if he was talking to himself, yet thinking of something. After standing for a while, he turned his head and asked, "Where is Yu Jin? How is his injury?"

  "Returning to Wang Ye, when the Crown Prince was in the thatched cottage, Big Sister would send him food every day, and he didn't suffer too much."

  Yesterday, I had already moved out of the woodshed according to Master Wang's orders. The doctor examined him and said that his wound has healed a lot and scabbed over. However, he still cannot get out of bed." Qi Shu replied.

  "Yu Jin, ah... keep an eye on him and don't let him get out of bed too early. His bones are still weak and he hasn't learned any martial arts, moving around too soon might leave behind some hidden illness!"

  The king Ming wanted to say a few more words to Yu Jin, but felt that saying too much would be pointless. He sighed and walked over to the chair, lifting his robes as he sat down.

  "One is too concerned about me and dissatisfied, the other doesn't care about me at all. Old friend, you say my dad is really a failure!"

  Qiu Shu looked at Ming Wangye and sighed, bowing his head:

  "Your Highness, actually the Crown Prince's nature is still good, he just likes to have fun a bit too much. As for Big Sister, she still remembers those things from before."

  One day she will know that your painstaking efforts, Prince Wang, will pay off. As the saying goes, "time reveals a person's heart", don't be too sad...

  Just then, a young servant walked in and knelt down to pay his respects, saying: "Your humble servant has seen the king."

  Seeing others coming over, Ming Wangye collected the worries on his face and asked, "What's the matter?"

  "The prince has arrived at the gate and says he wants to see the young lady." The servant replied respectfully.

  The Crown Prince is here again?

  The two of them, Ming Wangye and Qi Shu, exchanged a glance. What's going on in the mansion today? Why is everyone coming over one after another, all looking for Yuqiong?

  King Ming stood up, took a step forward, thought of something, his face sank, and stopped again, ordering:

  "Old Qie, go tell the Crown Prince that Yu Jiong is no longer in the mansion."

  Qiu Shu looked at Ming Wangye's actions, and was afraid that he didn't want to see the Crown Prince, dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's previous behavior towards Da Xiaojie. He nodded and said: "What if the Crown Prince asks about Da Xiaojie's whereabouts?"

  "Then tell him at Star Moon Lake!" King Ming waved his hand, now the crown prince also knew to come find Yuqiong.

  "Hmph, let the Crown Prince take a good look too. The Yu family's Jade is now so popular that even the Sixth Prince has come to ask for her hand in marriage."
