Chapter 277 Comparison
Dongfang Haotian looked at his queen depressedly, "Why is the queen so happy?"
Empress Liu Min grew up with Dongfang Haotian and went through all kinds of hardships to be together. She naturally understood him better than anyone else. She smiled helplessly and said, "Why? As a senior brother, you are reluctant to let Xiaojiu get married? This is the marriage arranged by Master."
"So the master must be getting old and confused."
Liu Min pursed her lips and chuckled, "Didn't the emperor check on the regent of Da Chu when he learned about Xiao Jiu's marriage? He is an expert in military tactics, and deserves the title of God of War. His strategies and tactics are even more impressive. Is that what you said?"
Dongfang Haotian looked a little uncomfortable. "That's based on his ability. He is indeed admirable. But having strong ability doesn't mean he can be a good husband. Master, this decision is too hasty."
Liu Min slapped him in annoyance, "You didn't know how to be a husband before, but now you are doing well, aren't you?"
As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Haotian immediately became arrogant, "That's because I'm awesome. I can learn it right away. Chu Chenfeng may not have the same awareness as me."
Liu Min burst out laughing, "Your Majesty really doesn't like to be praised."
Dongfang Haotian hugged Liu Min's slender waist and asked maliciously, "Isn't it? Does the Queen have a problem with me?"
"How dare I?"
Dongfang Haotian pinched her face and said, "I think you are very brave."
Liu Min waved away his rebellious hand, "Okay, the soup is getting cold, Your Majesty, please drink two more sips."
"Drink, I'll drink. Oh, I'm really annoyed. This happened too suddenly."
Liu Min sat opposite Dongfang Haotian and said, "Xiaojiu is already seventeen. Wasn't I also seventeen when I married the emperor?"
"But Chu Chenfeng...he...he is already 25 years old, not even 98 years old. It's not suitable."
"When they are bigger, they can care for people."
"That's not necessarily true. They say that the regent of Da Chu doesn't lust after women and is as cold as ice. How can he be kind to others?"
"Wasn't the Emperor like an ice cube before?"
Dongfang Haotian instantly felt that the soup was not so delicious anymore. He threw away the soup spoon and said in a resentful tone, "Why is the Queen always speaking for that Chu Chenfeng today?"
Liu Min slowly stood up and sat next to the emperor, picking up the soup bowl and spoon he had just put down. "Why are you still angry? I was just thinking that the person chosen by Master would definitely not be wrong."
Looking at the soup that was handed to his lips, Dongfang Haotian drank it reluctantly, "Master... Master can also make mistakes sometimes."
"What kind of person is Master? Since he has arranged this marriage for Xiaojiu, he must know this Regent King. Otherwise, considering how much he dotes on Xiaojiu, how could he marry Xiaojiu off so easily?"
"What do you know? Chu Chenfeng, besides being the regent of Great Chu, has another identity. He is the eldest disciple of Master Tianyi. Master Tianyi, like the master of the Divine Doctor Valley, is a long-time friend of our master. I guess our master must have been fooled by Master Tianyi."
Liu Min smiled and fed him the last spoonful of soup, "Is our master so easy to fool?"
"Hey!" Dongfang Haotian knew it all, he just felt uncomfortable.
Although the eight of them didn't have much contact with each other in public, they could always find opportunities to meet each other in private. They didn't spend much time together, but their feelings were very deep. However, they were all men after all, so they didn't think about meeting each other often. One or two times a year was considered a lot.
However, Dongfang Haotian was injured once when he was young and almost couldn't be saved. He was recuperated in Longyan Mountain for more than half a year. The brothers and sisters could meet often, but later, he became even busier...
When they found out that their master had accepted a little junior sister for them, they were so happy.
A petite and lovely junior sister, much better than those bad-tempered and impatient junior brothers. Although he has never met her, he has exchanged letters a lot, and it is not difficult to guess from their conversations that Xiaojiu is a lively, active and thoughtful child.
"What's wrong?" Liu Min waved in front of Dongfang Haotian's eyes, "What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, nothing. I just remembered that every time Xiaojiu went to a place, she would write me a letter and tell me about her experiences along the way. Of course, she would complain to me most about how Master played tricks on her. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Liu Min's expression was a little subtle. "Why are you acting like an old father marrying off his daughter?"
Dongfang Haotian's emotion just now disappeared in an instant, "Tsk, what nonsense are you talking about? How can I have a daughter that old? Kang'er is only eight years old now, do I look that old?"
"I'm not talking about age, I'm talking about you... your mentality is the same as that of a father who wants to marry off his daughter."
"You... are talking nonsense, nonsense!" Dongfang Haotian stood up and went to the desk again. "Okay, Queen, go back. I still have official business to attend to."
Liu Min raised an eyebrow, still in a bad mood, "Alright, I'll go back and sort it out. Xiaojiu is getting married, and you, as the third senior brother, should also prepare a portion of the dowry. The others must have prepared some as well."
Dongfang Haotian finally remembered, "Yes, yes, yes, we can't forget this. The Queen is really thoughtful. We can't let those people show their faces."
Liu Min was speechless and patted his shoulder vigorously, "How childish! You're still competing with me?"
Dongfang Haotian looked unconcerned. “How can I be childish? I… Anyway, I have to prepare more than the others to let Xiaojiu know that I care about her too.”
"Okay, okay, but then again, who does the emperor plan to send?"
"Kang'er is eight years old... The Great Chu Emperor is now able to take charge of his own affairs, and he is only nine years old. Although he has Chu Chenfeng to protect him, his own abilities are also quite good. Our Kang'er is not inferior to him in any way, and it is ok for him to attend the wedding on my behalf. Anyway, he has always wanted to meet Xiaojiu, so let him go this time."
Liu Min was a little worried, "It's such a long distance, I'm still a little worried."
"Don't worry, we'll go together."
Liu Min's eyes widened. "Let's go together? We?"
Dongfang Haotian looked at her calmly, "Why? No?"
"No, you are so busy with official duties. Besides, you are the emperor. How can you go out whenever you want? It will take at least three months to come and go." Liu Min has already started thinking about what preparations to make.
"The court is stable now, nothing serious will happen. Let the secret guards disguise themselves as me, and three months will pass quickly, don't worry."
"Your Majesty means to go privately?"
"That's for sure. I can also take Kang'er to have a look around. Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. In the future, we will have to rely on him in Tianlang Country. It's always a good idea to see more."
