Yu Qinw.a.n.g understood that he had wronged his wife over the years. Although his brother was declared dead in battle, he had actually committed a major crime before his death and deserved to die. At that time, the ruler of the country, their own father, was so angry that he had to exile his entire family to the border and demote several of his grandchildren to commoners.

In order to save his brothers children, he asked for an imperial decree to pa.s.s them on to his name.

Her wife treated them as her own, especially Minger, whom she had undergone hards.h.i.+ps to raise.

He also wanted to give her their own child, but unfortunately, after finally conceiving one with great difficulty, the baby died in the end.

He knew very well that she had never gotten over the pain of losing her baby son.

While Yu Qinw.a.n.g and Qinw.a.n.gfei were talking, the attendant came to report, "The State of Zhaos Crown Prince and Crown Princess has come for a visit."

Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei looked at Yu Qinw.a.n.g with a puzzled face, "Why are they here? Who are they visiting? Is it about Ming'ers illness? But I didn't tell anyone that Minger was sick."

Was it possible that the news of her seeking medical treatment outside for his son had been leaked?

"Theyre not here for Minger, but me." Yu Qinw.a.n.g told his wife about how the decorated pleasure boat he was on was burned down in the lake while avoiding the important details. "The boat caught fire, but everyone was fine."

Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei was afraid that he was being targeted, which wasnt good at all.

Luckily that wasnt the case.

Are you really okay?" Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei looked at her own husband.

Yu Qinw.a.n.g smiled and shook his head, "It's really nothing. I'll let you check it at night if you don't believe me!"

Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei gave him an angry look.

Such a jest made Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei feel less sad than before, but she still wasnt in the mood to meet any visitors.

Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei stayed in the room to rest while Yu Qinw.a.n.g went to meet the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.

The appearance of the State of Zhaos imperial family was truly praiseworthy. At least several of the princes had outstanding looks, unlike the imperial family of the State of Liang. Except for Minger who had inherited the beauty of his mother, the face value of the rest really couldnt catch up with the imperial family of the State of Zhao.

The Crown Prince was the heir apparent to the throne of the country, the most similar in appearance and behavior to the Emperor of the State of Zhao. He somewhat gave off the feeling of a matured youth, refined and elegant.

As a matter of fact, Yu Qinw.a.n.g originally planned to marry his daughter to the State of Zhaos Crown Prince. He had first met the Crown Prince when he came to the State of Zhao five years ago. He thought that the child was a good seedling and the age was right too, and at that time, it happened that the monarchs of the two countries were planning to establish connections through marriage.

However, his baby son died later and he became out of it, so the matter was delayed.

By the time he regained his mood to take care of his daughters marriage again, he heard that the Crown Prince of the State of Zhao had already been bestowed a marriage through the Emperor's decree.

In the end, the two countries failed to get connected by marriage, which had little impact on the State of Liang. After all, the State of Liang was the superior country, compared with the State of Zhao, which needed the State of Liang more.

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess sat in the drawing room with Yu Qinw.a.n.g.

The Crown Prince brought an imperial physician and asked the imperial physician to carefully check Yu Qinw.a.n.gs pulse.

Yu Qinw.a.n.g waved his hand, "No need, this prince is fine."

Yu Qinw.a.n.g and Qinw.a.n.gfei had lived in the State of Zhao for nearly a year and they both spoke the State of Zhaos language very well.

The Crown Prince said with guilt, "This time, it was this princes third brothers negligence that almost caused a big disaster. Fortunately, Yu Qinw.a.n.g is fine."

Oh, your third brother's negligence?

Yu Qinw.a.n.g pretended to be unaware of the fact that the Crown Prince's faction was fighting with Ning w.a.n.g's faction. He simply sipped his tea and did not say anything.

The Crown Prince intended to get close to Yu Qinw.a.n.g. After all, the Crown Princess had been to the State of Liang and met Yu Qinw.a.n.g.

But Yu Qinw.a.n.g didnt have the slightest interest in the Crown Princess.

The main thing was that he didnt really remember the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess was sent to the State of Liang at that time, first, it was because her teacher, Zhuang Xianzhi, was one of the envoys; second, she was known as the State of Zhaos genius young lady, and the State of Zhao was counting on her to win glory for her country.

However, the status of the State of Zhao was too low. On that occasion, the State of Jin and the State of Yan also sent envoys to the State of Liang, both of which were from the upper countries.

They didnt have to prepare whatever genius, their superior halo was what all they needed.

The Crown Princess couldn't even show her hands. She could only watch on helplessly as the questions she could solve easily were badly done by two idiots from Jin and Yan. She didn't even have a chance to hold a writing brush.

Ten years ago, Wen Linlang was just an eleven-year-old girl. At that age, you couldnt expect her to dress up so beautifully so that she would be unforgettable.

But now she was truly breathtaking.

Unfortunately, Yu Qinw.a.n.g wasnt a lascivious man either.

The situation was awkward for a while, and the Crown Prince could only toughen his scalp and continue an awkward conversation.

Suddenly, a child's voice could be heard from the yard. The Crown Princess asked, "Is that the little young master outside?"

Yu Qinw.a.n.g nodded, "Ah, it is indeed my son."

The Crown Princess smiled slightly, "Then I shall go and keep the little young master company."

Yu Qinw.a.n.gs love for his son was one of his weaknesses.

He didn't stop the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess went to the yard.

Minger was playing on the swing in the yard by himself. He was different from a few days ago when he was very listless. It was unlikely that the child was pretending to be fine. It must have been the medicine of Gu Jiao that had taken effect. As soon as he felt comfortable, he started to play everywhere.

But even when playing, Ming'er was also quieter than the average child.

Qin Chuyu, for example, would not sit so obediently on the swing. He had to climb on the pole or coil on the rope like a monkey.

"Minger."

The Crown Princess came to his side and called him gently.

Minger turned her head oddly, "Who are you?"

The attendant and the palace maids saluted the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess smiled, "My surname is Wen. You can call me Big sister Wen. Do you like playing on the swing? Or do you want to play something else?"

"There's nothing else to play here." Minger muttered.

The Crown Princess smiled and held out her hand. In the palm of her hand was a crystal clear bead, "This is for you."

Minger hesitated for a moment before reaching for it.

However, just as he was about to touch the bead, the Crown Princess closed her hand and when she opened it again, the bead turned into a red flower.

Mingers eyes widened.

The Crown Princess threw the red flower up, and a miracle happened. The red flower actually transformed into a bird and flew away flapping its wings!

Minger was greatly amazed, "Wow!"

"Aiya, your hair." The Crown Princess reached out to touch Minger's hair, the tip of her fingers circling behind his ear. When she brought it in front of Minger's eyes, her fingers were suddenly holding the original jade bead.

The always reserved Minger couldn't help but clap his hands, "So awesome! Is this magic?"

She smilingly said, "It's a magic trick."

Actually, it was just a diversionary tactic and things were hidden in her sleeve. This technique involved fast hand speed and perfect execution, so as not to let people see any flaw.

Minger was deeply fascinated by the Crown Princess's magic trick.

"Do you want to see more?" The Crown Princess asked.

"En!" Minger nodded as though pounding garlic.

The Crown Princess said, "Then let me play on your swing, and in exchange, I will perform magic tricks for you."

A pleasure gained at a cost was always more valuable than an unearned pleasure.

Minger had a good time.

Yu Qinw.a.n.g and the Crown Prince finished their awkward conversation and came out to see this scene, both of them had a trace of surprise in their eyes.

Yu Qinw.a.n.g was surprised because Minger was not an easy child to approach. He was too intelligent and knowledgeable for his age, and average people were unable to attract his attention.

The Crown Prince was surprised because he had never seen such a childlike Wen Linlang. She was always dignified and reserved in front of him, without any overstepping of her bounds, which also made her seem to be lacking in spirit.

But now he found her smiling like a child as she coaxed a child.

It was as if he was seeing the Linlang with Ah Heng many years ago.

As it was getting late, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess bid farewell to the father and son.

"Big sister Wen, will you come and play with me again tomorrow?" Minger called out to the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess looked at Yu Qinw.a.n.g, then at Minger, and said softly, "I can't leave the palace tomorrow. If you like, you can come to the East Palace and find me."

Minger knew that entering the palace was a big deal, so he looked up at his father, his expression seemingly telling him that he wasnt a good father if he didnt let him go.
