Chapter 1050: It turns out that henpecked people can also be contagious
"Brother, brother! My dear brother! Please let me see little Ruchu, please?" In March in Qiongzhou, the weather was mild and pleasant, and the eldest daughter of the King of Chu, Dou Ruchu, was born at this time. At this moment, in the garden of the King of Chu's mansion, Zhinu hugged the arm of the King of Chu who was discussing something with Zhang Zhenxuan, begging him to take her to see her little niece who was not even a month old.
"Ruchu is sleeping now, why are you disturbing her?" Because of Xiaojiu's noise, His Royal Highness the King of Chu had to pause his conversation with Zhang Zhenxuan and turned to look at the young slave who was looking at him eagerly: "Wait until the evening, when my second brother takes Ruchu for a walk, you will see her."
"Second brother, stop fooling me!" Zhinu immediately shook off her brother's arm and said with a stern face, "When my uncle comes, it won't be my turn!"
"That can't be helped." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu curled his lips upon hearing this: "My uncle has given up practicing martial arts in order not to fumigate Xiao Ruchu, and he is a vegetarian every day. Every time he comes to see Xiao Ruchu, he has to bathe and change clothes."
"I can take a bath and change clothes too!" Zhinu pursed her lips after hearing this: "Besides, I don't practice martial arts. As for being a vegetarian... I'll give it a try..."
"Okay, I think it's thoughtful of you as your uncle." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was originally teasing his younger brother. As for the reason why the uncle made his niece's daughter cry last time... In fact, it was not because of the smell on his body, but because of the wrong way of holding the child.
But the reason why King Chu asked Taoist Sun to insist on the statement that "Duke Qiao has a strong body odor" was actually for Chai Shao's health.
Chai Shao fought in many battles throughout his life and suffered from numerous old illnesses. He had to be a vegetarian for a period of time before resuming a meat-eating diet. During this period, he had to strictly follow Taoist Sun's methods to treat the hidden injuries in his body so as not to affect his lifespan.
But... if he told these things openly, Chai Shao might not take them seriously. He could only use Ru Chu's name to make his great-uncle strictly follow the doctor's orders and become obedient.
"Brother, can I ask you a favor?" Just as His Royal Highness the King of Chu was considering how to arrange a "schedule" for Ruchu so that she could get along well with her uncle Zhinu, Zhinu suddenly said, "Can you tell Sister Wuxu that when I praised her for her beauty last time, I meant it sincerely, and it was not because of the cakes she prepared for Sister Lian'er..."
"Wow!" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked up at his younger brother: "Are you still afraid of her?"
"How can I not be afraid..." Zhinu curled her lips when she heard this: "Second brother, you are useless... You tried your best but couldn't protect your younger brother. What can I expect from you?"
"Heh..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu reached out and touched the back of his brother's head: "Yes, he really has a rebellious nature."
“二哥，我永远都敬你爱你，真的。”稚奴知道，再不老实点儿，就要挨揍了。
"Alas, I don't know what to say to you, brother..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu pinched his brother's cheek and said, "Didn't you make an appointment with Mu Yao to go to the beach to pick up shells? Go ahead, this time, brother will arrange someone to follow you and won't let you be chased by wild dogs again."
"Brother... I also want to go fishing at sea..." Zhinu felt that just picking up shells was really meaningless.
"Okay." His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded and said, "I'll let your cousin Ling Wu accompany you."
"Can I use firecrackers to fry fish?" Zhinu blinked his eyes when he heard that. This year during the New Year's Eve, he finally got to play something fun with his second brother.
"Don't push your luck!" It is true that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is now a father, but the kindness and tolerance that came from his role as a father have not been used on Xiao Ruchu before they have been mostly consumed by this jerk brother.
"Goodbye, second brother!" When Zhinu saw that his second brother was angry, he didn't want to be beaten so he turned around and ran away immediately.
After watching the new little devil leave, Li Kuan turned around and said to Zhang Zhenxuan, who had been watching the show with a smile on his face, "Zhenxuan, you better hide..."
"What do you want to taste?" Zhang Zhenxuan blinked his eyes when he heard this: "Your Highness, have you asked the kitchen to prepare a new dish?"
"Oh... this thing can be transmitted from person to person?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu groaned in pain, "Alas... they are all talented..."
"The Dou family has many talented people. Your Highness does not need to worry about this." Seeing that the head of the family was depressed at the moment, Zhang Zhenxuan simply continued to chase and kill.
"If you continue like this, Ruchu's adoptive father will have to be replaced." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said unhappily, "Let's get back to business. Are the Buddhists waiting for Xuanzang to return?"
“Yes and no.” Zhang Zhenxuan felt that this matter was quite… abstract: “Originally, Buddhism hoped to use Master Xuanzang’s journey to the West to seek the Dharma to surpass Taoism, but now… they have given up this idea.”
"Why?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu really didn't realize that this matter had something to do with him.
"I, Taoist Priest Yuan, and Taoist Priest Li Chunfeng are all by your side now. Why do you think so?" Zhang Zhenxuan smiled when he heard this. "If Zen Master Zhiyong had not been your master, the Buddhist sect... would have chosen to give up the so-called Buddhist-Taoist dispute long ago."
"My king... Am I so terrible?" Upon hearing this, King Chu scratched his head and said, "No way..."
"After you came of age, the longevity tablets enshrined in various thousand-year-old temples should have been removed and destroyed as agreed. But now, those longevity tablets have become their amulets." Zhang Zhenxuan said this and couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness, I can't say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing."
"No matter whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, I don't care at all now." The reason why His Royal Highness the King of Chu mentioned Xuanzang was simply because he suddenly thought of something - when he went to Gaochang, Master Xuanzang had just left, and now he is about to go to Tianzhu...
Ok……
Maybe it is true that Master Xuanzang traveled westwards and found that those foreign countries had become the territory of the Tang Dynasty when he returned...
To be honest, King Chu was still a little secretly happy: "Hehe...Zhenxuan, what do you say about me letting Xuan Ce lead 5,000 Dou clan troops, plus 50,000 troops of Feng clan, to conquer Pyu Kingdom first, and then Tianzhu?"
"Won't Duke Qiao and Duke Dou participate in the war?" Zhang Zhenxuan obviously didn't know that Wang Xuance's attack on India would have some kind of winning rate bonus.
"Dou Shu'er has to stay in Qiongzhou." His Royal Highness the King of Chu replied without hesitation: "As for my uncle... he is also old, so he can just look after the children for me."
"If Duke Qiao heard this..." Zhang Zhenxuan saw that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was speaking arrogantly again, so he immediately started to stir up trouble: "Shouldn't I have a good chat with Your Highness?"
"Just keep talking!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu stiffened his neck when he heard this: "I am henpecked, and so is he! I now suspect that this problem of mine was passed on to me by my uncle!"
"Is this thing contagious?" Suddenly a deep voice sounded behind His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
"Can..." Huh? ! !
King Chu, who realized at the same time that "my uncle is here" and "Zhen Xuan is really bad", straightened his back, but... the only thing he could do now was to maintain this posture and wait for his lovely daughter to wake up early so that she could rescue him, the outspoken and stupid father...
