Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Chapter 483 Happy conversation

Prince Yu returned to the Bafang Pavilion, still thinking about what happened during the day. The innocent Seventh Princess ran off to play somewhere after the white peacock spread its feathers. He saw Qian Zining through the pavilion admiring the beautiful peacocks spreading their feathers one after another, and he couldn't help but walk forward.

Qian Zining was not surprised at all that King Yu was here. The two of them looked at the colorful peacock feathers for a while and then started talking naturally.

Islet King: "Xiaoguai, have you been good these years?"

Qian Zining smiled and said, "Ever since that incident, my parents have felt guilty towards me and have always given in to me. My two brothers also dote on me, and with the Queen's love, no one dares to cross me. But you, Brother Ashan, have had a really hard time these years!"

"I'm fine too. After I returned, I found out that my mother had already passed away. In this vast sea country, no one is sincere to me, so I just lived like this."

Qian Zining: "Oh!"

King Yu was silent for a few breaths before speaking, "Actually, after I returned to the Sea Kingdom, the late king—our father—didn't recognize me. He simply registered me under the name of his younger brother, my uncle. I knew then that he still disliked my eyes and even loathed me. My uncle did the same, but it doesn't matter. I don't care about them. There were more than a dozen adult males in the royal family of my generation. By the time I ascended the throne, my father only had a disabled son and me left, and my uncle only had a useless son who was addicted to eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling! My arrogant father fell ill a year ago and finally made me the crown prince. More than a decade of hiding between brothers has finally come to an end!"

Just a few words described the bloody and fratricidal situation of the past decade, and the situation of the young Ashan would be even more difficult. He had no roots in the Sea Kingdom, and he showed up halfway with strange eyes. Everyone knew that he was the son of the King of the Sea Kingdom, but he was abandoned by his father and registered under the name of his uncle. Therefore, his father's sons and his uncle's sons regarded him as a thorn in their eyes and anyone could step on him.

Qian Zining opened her mouth but didn't know how to comfort her childhood friend. She knew clearly how King Yu fought his way to the throne among a group of fierce brothers.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let Brother Ashan go back. Even if he had been a soldier under my father, I wouldn't have been so sad!"

Qian Zining felt suffocated just thinking about it.

The Islet King lowered his green eyes. "It's all in the past. I don't know why I said it out loud like this. Xiaoguai, actually, when the Sea Country was at its most difficult, I also thought about how great it would be if I had stayed in Dasheng. What a pity! Everything is destined!"

At this time, the Seventh Princess's silver bell-like laughter came from afar. That laughter was carefree and made people forget all their troubles in an instant. The two smiled at each other, and King Yu said, "The Seventh Princess is being raised very well!"

Qian Zining sighed, "Yes! The apple of His Majesty and the Empress's eye! Don't underestimate the Seventh Princess because of her young age and spoiled nature. She's actually very filial. She cherishes those who treat her well and will do many things herself. She's truly a good child."

Qian Zining had just finished speaking when she suddenly blinked: "I heard from others that His Royal Highness Prince Yu hasn't married yet. You wouldn't be... Don't even think about it! The Seventh Princess is only ten years old! If you got married earlier, you could be her father!"

Prince Yu was completely stunned. He opened his mouth and said, "What are you talking about? I was just thinking that she is the Queen's daughter after all! What else could I be thinking! Besides, our Hai Kingdom and Da Sheng are jointly suppressing bandits, but we are not considering marriage!"

Qian Zining also realized that she was overreacting. She breathed a sigh of relief: "Ahem, I was overthinking it. I was really influenced by those grassland tribesmen. Sigh! I can't think about it. Thinking about those grassland people makes me so angry. Sooner or later, my father will beat them all up! I am daydreaming. It's a foolish dream!"

Prince Yu also calmed down and said, "Then you don't have to worry. His Majesty Da Sheng is a man of great military and political strategy, and he governs the country with peace and security. He is a great hero. Even these small countries come to pay tribute to him every year, and the monarchs of various countries bow down to the majesty of Da Sheng. His Majesty Da Sheng will not let his beloved daughter travel thousands of miles to marry another country!"

Qian Zining glanced at King Yu: "You understand very well! It seems that you will be a good father in the future!"

The Islet King chuckled and said, "Don't tease me! I don't understand any of this. Ever since I became the Islet King, I've been focusing on government affairs. How could I have the time to think about those messy things?"

In fact, his father had ignored him intentionally or unintentionally and had never mentioned the matter of arranging a marriage for him. Naturally, the other brothers were happy to see it happen and hoped that their father would forget about it.

Qian Zining asked, "Brother Ashan, is the sea fun? I heard there are a lot of big fish in the sea, and some even eat people. Is that true? I saw the sea creatures you presented, and they looked all sorts of weird!"

The King of the Isle spoke to Qian Zining in detail, and Qian Zining's eyes lit up with surprise. "Really? Is it that big? And you made friends with a big fish! Oh my God!"

King Yu smiled and said, "If you have the chance, you can go to the sea and see for yourself. The scenery is really different from that of Dasheng!"

The two chatted about everything under the sun. Prince Yu described the scenery on the sea to Qian Zining, and Qian Zining told Prince Yu interesting stories about Dasheng. The barrier of more than ten years between the two of them slowly turned into dust and dissipated.

Qian Zining was so excited that she suddenly looked into the deep green eyes of King Yu and blurted out, "Brother Ashan, your eyes are so beautiful!"

Prince Yu was stunned for a moment. He stared at Qian Zining's dark eyes that looked like black grapes: "What did you say!"
