Chapter 1031 Tears Stream Down
Chapter 1031 Tears Stream Down
King Xiao thought about the news he had learned when he entered the palace. He realized that he had been blind before and had never seen that King Liang had such great ambitions.
Now look, the second son will never have the chance to come out in his lifetime, and the fourth son's situation is probably not much better.
Speaking of which, the third prince is truly kind-hearted. Although he has not yet ascended the throne, none of the current princes can compare to him.
As for the second and fourth sons, they only ended up losing more than they gained by trying to steal a chicken, so they can't blame anyone else.
“King Kang’s concubine is quite good. I heard that King Kang intends to make her his principal wife,” Chu Junting said.
King Xiao nodded. "I have met Prince Kang's concubine. She has always liked Prince Kang. If it weren't for the sudden bestowal of marriage, she should be the princess."
"That's good, anyway, without Wu Yue'er, Prince Kang can finally live a good life."
Chu Junting chuckled, recalling how the Prince Kang had complained to him earlier; it was indeed quite a difficult situation for him.
Now that this matter has finally been resolved, he is happy.
“Previously, the concubine of Prince Kang liked him, but he never realized it. Later, after Wu Yue’er’s actions, he finally realized how good she was.”
Xiao Wang smiled and sighed. Today he happened to run into Kang Wang. Kang Wang kept saying that he wanted to take him out for drinks to celebrate that night, but he went to the Yun family and brought Yun Lengyu back. So he must find an opportunity to have a good drink with him again.
Looking at the King of Kang's appearance, he couldn't help but think of himself. Come to think of it, he seemed to have been just as clueless before.
This is probably what they mean by "learning from one's mistakes." I won't repeat the same foolish mistakes I made back then.
"That's how it often is. The truly good people are right in front of you, but you don't see them. You always think that something else is better."
Only after experiencing it do we realize it wasn't like that; however, not everyone has the chance to regret it.
Seeing Chu Junting's articulate and knowledgeable manner, King Xiao couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, yes, in this respect, we brothers are truly no match for you; you have a keen eye for talent!"
Chu Junting smiled smugly, "Of course, I have excellent taste."
"Look at you laughing so cheaply. I used to think you were planning to live a lonely life. I never thought you would turn out like this."
King Xiao shook his head. In his memory, his third brother had always been guarding the border. Even when the Empress asked him to come back, he refused. When she tried to arrange a marriage for him, he wouldn't even glance at the girl.
At the time, there were even rumors that he preferred men, and the Empress was anxious to arrange a marriage for him because of this news.
Later, the marriage was arranged, which surprised everyone. But now it seems that he was the one who had thought things through the most.
"Brother, not everyone can have such good fortune as me."
Chu Junting's smile remained unchanged. He felt that he had been alone in his previous life, so God had given him a chance to start over.
"I understand. These triplets are truly blessed; it's not something ordinary people can have."
Prince Xiao chuckled, then couldn't resist his curiosity: "Now that your sister-in-law is pregnant, Father naturally won't say anything. But what if he makes you take a concubine in the future...?"
"No." Chu Junting waved his hand without hesitation.
"What can't you do?"
"I have only my wife in my life, and I will never take a concubine. I made this promise before I married Zhen'er."
Seeing Chu Junting's calm expression, as if it were the most normal thing in the world, Prince Xiao couldn't help but be surprised, "You've already spoken to Father about this?"
“Of course.” Chu Junting nodded.
Prince Xiao's eyes widened suddenly. "Really? Father knew about this before?"
When have I ever lied to you?
Chu Junting raised his wine glass, his smile as warm as a spring breeze, "I already have three children, why would I need to take a concubine?"
King Xiao: "...That makes a lot of sense."
"You don't need to worry about me. You should use that time to think about yourself."
"Zhen'er told me that this Miss Yun is your destined soulmate, so you must cherish her." Chu Junting patted Xiao Wang's shoulder and reminded him.
Xiao Wang's eyes lit up, and he finally understood the deeper meaning behind Song Ruozhen's earlier reminder.
"No wonder my sister-in-law specifically reminded me; it was because of this!"
Chu Junting nodded with a smile, "If it weren't for that, she wouldn't bother reminding you of any ordinary peach blossoms."
Unconsciously, King Xiao glanced at Yun Lengyu, who was chatting happily with Song Ruozhen beside him, and a smile spread across the depths of his eyes. It seemed that the struggles of the past two days had been resolved.
“It’s not only your good fortune that you married your brother’s wife, but I, as his brother, also benefit from it.”
Yun Lengyu noticed that Xiao Wang suddenly glanced at her, his gaze seemingly meaningful, which puzzled her, but she didn't have time to ask.
"Your Highness, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have..."
"Don't worry, even without me, your eldest brother will still stand up for you."
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "From now on, we will be sisters-in-law. You can just call me Ruozhen. There's no need to be so formal."
Seeing that Song Ruozhen was all smiles and showed no contempt or disdain for her, Yun Lengyu felt even happier.
"I had heard about the Crown Princess's story before and admired her greatly. I never expected to have the opportunity to sit with her today. It is truly an honor for me."
Hearing this, Song Ruozhen chuckled, "I heard you suffered a lot of grievances at the Yun residence before. From now on, we're all family."
"Your Highness, I'm severing ties with my family today. Don't you think I'm going too far?"
Yun Lengyu couldn't help but speak up. In fact, in many people's eyes, this should be considered extremely immoral. As children, how dare they sever ties with their parents?
Let alone doing it, even having the thought of doing it is wrong.
However, she was quite surprised that not only the Crown Princess but also Prince Xiao seemed to have no objections after she did this today.
"What's so excessive about this?"
Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. "We all saw what happened at the banquet. Your good sister seems well-behaved on the surface, but everything she does is to harm you."
If it weren't for Prince Xiao's explanation that night, this incident alone would have been enough to ruin your reputation.
If your parents had any sense, they wouldn't have resorted to family discipline against you; it's clear they don't care about you at all.
You're usually a very patient person, but to be pushed to this point shows you've truly reached your breaking point.
Upon hearing this, Yun Lengyu's eyes reddened, and her voice choked with emotion.
"Princess Consort, thank you for understanding me."
Over the years, she had kept all her grievances bottled up inside, and she had long since gotten used to it, so she didn't feel anything was wrong with it.
But after hearing that someone understood her, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
