Chapter 108: One Year Already
Xia He, the Crown Princess's personal maid, didn't care about being punished and asked:
"Where are you going, Your Highness?"
The prince looked back and glanced over. A chill came over them. The two palace maids, frightened by his gaze, tensed up all over, bit their lower lips tightly, and hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to ask another question.
Then they watched their Crown Prince walk out of the gate of Zhaoling Palace without looking back.
Looking at the drunken Crown Princess, she was still looking up with a silly smile on her face.
*
Eunuch Fu followed closely behind the prince, his forehead already covered in sweat and his heart filled with bitterness.
When the prince shouted for wine, he had already guessed his master's intention.
But, Your Highness? What will you do if you avoid the first day of the month?
Eunuch Fu hurriedly followed the prince closely.
**
Study outside the East Palace,
As soon as he entered the room, Prince Liang Hean closed the door with a "bang". Eunuch Fu, who followed closely behind, almost had his nose hit by the door and blood splattered on the spot.
"Your Highness~"
Eunuch Fu covered his extremely aching nose and called out softly.
Then I heard the prince's voice coming from the study.
"Bring me the wine."
"Here."
Eunuch Fu covered his nose, knowing that the prince was angry. The prince, who usually never drank, actually took the initiative to ask for wine. He didn't dare to offend him again, so he waved his hand and asked the guards to get the wine.
*
in front of the window,
The prince looked at the bright moon, feeling a fire burning in his heart. The depression and frustration he had been feeling seemed to burst into tears, causing him to pick up the wine jug and drink cup after cup to the moon.
Eunuch Fu, who was waiting outside the door, looked at the situation inside through the half-open door and could not help but persuade him distressedly,
"Your Highness, you have drunk too much. It is getting late and you should rest."
The prince in the room shook the empty wine jug, turned to Eunuch Fu and said:
"Ahfu, go get some wine, and come in and have a few drinks with me."
"Yes, I will be right here."
Eunuch Fu was finally summoned and flashed into the study. Looking at the prince's flushed face and blurry eyes, he knew that he was drunk.
Without thinking too much, he quickly poured the cold boiled water into the wine jug for the prince.
The prince was unaware of the little trick behind him. He took the full wine jug and patted Eunuch Fu on the shoulder with satisfaction.
"Afu, I respect you."
Eunuch Fu was flattered. He held the wine glass in trembling hands and was about to cry, with a variety of expressions on his face.
"Your Highness, please don't drink any more. It makes Ah Fu sad!"
Upon hearing this, the prince looked at Eunuch Fu in a daze, and suddenly laughed bitterly.
"Ahfu, you have white hair on your head! Ahfu is old, and Ahfu and I are getting old too!..."
When Eunuch Fu heard this, he could no longer control his emotions. He covered his mouth tightly and sobbed.
"Your Highness, Ah Fu is not old. Ah Fu has not even seen the birth of the young master?! How can Ah Fu be old..."
"Well, Ah Fu is not old. Ah Fu, you are not allowed to grow old without my permission!"
*
The prince was really drunk.
As he spoke, he staggered to the desk and slowly sat down.
He propped his head on his elbow and said with a suddenly dejected look,
"Ah Fu, I don't want them. I really don't like them. But I have been born with too many things that I can't control. Too many responsibilities and obligations. I don't want them...
She is the only one in my heart...Shh! Ah Fu, do you know how it feels to be loved but not wanted?
But I can't give her any promise. Ah Fu, I'm a little jealous of her dead husband! They even have two lovely children!
Hehehe..., you see, even God is punishing me? He is punishing me!
Ah Fu, if you don’t understand, how can you understand?
I don’t want to wrong her, I don’t want to…she is so beautiful…so beautiful! …”
“Your Highness!…”
Eunuch Fu burst into tears and couldn't stop crying. He had already guessed that the woman was Miss Fang.
His heart was in even greater pain. The two people who were so far apart were destined to be apart.
"Your Highness, please listen to my advice and forget about her!"
The prince heard the crying and looked up at Eunuch Fu.
"Don't cry, Ah Fu. Your prince is not that weak. He is just attacked from all sides and has no way to move forward or backward.
Hehehe… How is this possible? Don’t worry! No one can force me to do something I don’t like. One day, one day…”
As the prince was talking, he fell asleep with his head on the desk.
"Your Highness? Your Highness?"
When Eunuch Fu saw that the prince was really drunk and fell asleep, he wiped his tears, went out and called a few guards to put the prince to sleep in the inner room.

The sun and the moon pass through the sky, and the rivers flow across the earth.
Eleven months later.
The two cute babies are already one year old. They are gifted with extraordinary talents and their high IQ amazes everyone.
This child is so smart and clever that he is far ahead of other babies in ordinary families.
Just like what Aunt Zhao said, "Madam, our young master and young lady have hidden minds even in their long eyelashes, hehe..."
"Yes, yes, yes, Madam Zhao, you are absolutely right. I don't even know as many words as the young master."
Xiao Xizi grinned and agreed with both hands.
"That's right, that's right." Nanny Qi was at a loss for words, while Nanny Sun hugged the two children and kissed them so much with a smile on her face.
*
The two adorable babies' unparalleled cuteness also conquered the outer courtyard's housekeeper Zhang Bo and the servant Dali.
Whenever the old and the young had some free time, they would gather around Madam Zhao and do things to please her.
This one says,
"Madam Zhao, I made a small rocking chair for the young master and young lady. Can you hold them and take a walk?"
The one seeking the truth,
"Madam Zhao, Wangcai in the front yard has given birth to a litter of puppies. Can you bring the young masters to have a look? Just a look is ok?"
The two grown men used all their skills to scold Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhao's length... Aunt Zhao's shortness... which made Fang Qingge couldn't help laughing.
Occasionally, Nanny Zhao would nod and take the children to the outer courtyard for a walk.
Every time at this time, the two grown men, one old and one young, would happily hold their little masters high in their arms, let them ride on their horses, and they looked extremely happy.
*
Every day before they were one year old, the two children would eat, bask in the sun, and take a walk.
Most of the time I stayed in the space with Fang Qingge to study and play.
Fang Qingge looked at the two cute babies and thought that apart from their pretty and cute looks being genetic, she didn't think that their IQ was completely inherited from their parents' wisdom genes.
Rather, I think it has something to do with staying in the space for a long time and broadening your horizons.
The two babies were able to communicate with her simply when they were eight months old.
"Mom...little rabbit...dog...big horse...old cow...little fox...big tiger..."
The chubby boy pointed at the animals in the picture book and recited them by heart. The clever one could even tell the big from the small and the fat from the thin.
When they were ten months old, the two cute babies sat on the carpet watching cartoons and laughing.
Seeing that he was happy, he crawled around looking for Fang Qingge with his hands and feet, shouting at the top of his voice,
"Mom...Mom will accompany the baby...to watch cartoons..."
