"Princess, you’ll understand once you read it."
The Princess Consort Chu couldn’t help but laugh after reading the letter Zhao Yao wrote.
"Prince, what did you do to make your tenth brother so angry that he wants to break off relations with you?"
Sitting in Prince Chu’s arms, Xiao Baozi looked up at his father with big, curious eyes and asked, "Daddy, how did you upset Uncle?" Although Xiao Baozi had never t Uncle Zhao Yao, he always rembered this uncle who frequently sent him fun gifts.
"Earlier, my tenth brother wrote to saying he wanted to co to Liangzhou to visit us and asked to tell our father about it. I didn’t agree, and that upset him," Prince Chu said helplessly. "I didn’t expect my tenth brother to get this angry."
"Daddy, why didn’t you agree to let Uncle co to see us?" Xiao Baozi gazed at Prince Chu with reproachful eyes. "I want to see Uncle."
"Prince, why didn’t you agree to let the tenth prince co to Liangzhou?"
"Many things have been happening lately, and I’m worried soone might harm my tenth brother."
The Princess Consort Chu understood Prince Chu’s concerns and frowned slightly, saying, "Your worries are valid, Prince."
"Once things settle down, I’ll send Wei Mian to the capital to bring my tenth brother here for a visit." Thinking of Zhao Yao’s angry expression, Prince Chu couldn’t help but smile. "I’ll have to beg my tenth brother to co to Liangzhou, or he might really break off relations with forever." Despite what he wrote in the letter about not coming even if begged, the truth is my tenth brother wants to ask him to co."
"I’ll have soone accompany Wei Mian back to the capital to fetch my tenth brother," said the Princess Consort Chu. "We can also send so gifts to my mother, father, and the others."
"That sounds good," the Prince added. "Since my tenth brother is angry, I’m thinking of sending him so gifts to cheer him up. Do you have any suggestions, Princess?"
"You can send him so delicious food and fun items," suggested the Princess Consort Chu. "Prince, let help you prepare them."
"Good." Most of the gifts sent to Zhao Yao in the past had been prepared by the Princess Consort Chu.
"By the way, didn’t they send so fine materials last ti? We should also send those to my tenth brother and Lady Liang," added the Princess Consort Chu. "Or perhaps we can have the mansion’s embroiderers make a few sets of clothes for him?"
"Let’s just send the materials," Prince Chu replied. "I’m not sure if my tenth brother has grown taller recently."
"The tenth brother is at the age where he’s still growing; he might have gotten taller during this ti." The Princess Consort Chu smiled lightly at the thought of Zhao Yao’s appearance. "It’s been a few years since we’ve seen him; he’s surely growing more handso."
"Once he arrives and you praise his looks, he’ll be very pleased and will certainly find you a charming sister-in-law, saying you have great taste."
"When my tenth brother arrives, I’ll definitely praise him well," said the Princess Consort Chu. She had only t Zhao Yao after marrying Prince Chu, and it was only before they left the capital that they beca familiar, as Zhao Yao often visited Prince Chu Mansion. She adored this lively and fun younger brother. "Prince, is your tenth brother doing well lately?"
"He’s doing well, nothing much happened," Prince Chu replied.
The Princess Consort Chu knew Prince Chu always worried about Zhao Yao, far away in the capital. "That’s good to hear."
While having a late-night snack, Prince Chu shared stories about Zhao Yao with the Princess Consort Chu and Xiao Baozi.
Xiao Baozi listened intently, his eyes sparkling with interest.
The person he most wanted to et was Uncle, and he always anticipated Uncle coming to visit him. Now it was happening, Uncle was really coming to play with him.
"Daddy, when Uncle cos, I can let him stay in my room, and I can even sleep with him."
"Sure, when Uncle arrives, he can sleep with you," Prince Chu said as he patted his son’s little head. "Your Uncle will be very pleased."
"Daddy, when is Uncle coming?"
"In a few months."
"That’s such a long wait; can’t Uncle co tomorrow? I want to see him tomorrow," Xiao Baozi said, pouting.
"Uncle is in the capital, which is far from here, so he can’t make it by tomorrow..." Prince Chu patiently explained to his son why Uncle would take a few months to arrive.
Although Xiao Baozi felt a bit disappointed, he was mainly filled with anticipation.
Seeing that it was getting late, Prince Chu asked the Princess Consort Chu to take Xiao Baozi back to their room to rest, as he still had official duties to attend to.
The Princess Consort Chu knew how busy Prince Chu had been lately and didn’t stay long to disturb him. Before leaving, she reminded Prince Chu to rest early.
After the Princess Consort Chu and her son had left, Prince Chu’s expression imdiately turned serious, and he began inquiring about other matters from Wei Mian.
anwhile, far away in the capital, Zhao Yao sneezed several tis in succession.
