Chapter 471: 240 Small Steamed Buns Gang Fight (First Update)

Prince Yu understood how his wife had suffered over the years. Although his biological brother was publicly announced as having died in battle, he had actually committed a great crime before his death and deserved his fate. The King, who was also their father, was so angry that he intended to banish his brother’s entire household to the frontier, and even lower the status of his nephews and nieces into that of commoners.

To protect the children, Prince Yu had requested to adopt them into his household.

Each of them she had loved as if they were her own, especially Minmin, whom she had raised from infancy. _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

He too wanted to give her a child, but their luck was lacking. Just when they were finally blessed with a child, it unfortunately passed away prematurely.

He knew that she had never recovered from the pain of losing their son.

While Prince Yu and his wife were in conversation, a eunuch came to report, “The Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Zhan Country have come to visit.”

Surprise washed over the face of Prince Yu’s wife as she turned to her husband, “Why have they come? What do they wish to inquire about? Minmin’s illness perhaps? But I have not told anyone of Minmin’s sickness.”

Could it be that news of his illness had somehow leaked while they were out treating him today?

“They have come to see me, not Minmin,” Prince Yu downplayed the incident of the sinking flower boat to his wife, “The boat caught fire, but everyone is fine.”

The princess had feared that their visit meant they had become targets, a feeling she didn’t appreciate.

Thankfully, that was not the case.

“Are you really alright?” the princess looked worriedly at her husband.

Prince Yu laughed and shook his head, “I truly am alright, don’t believe me? I’ll let you check tonight!”

The princess admonished her husband with a glance.

His jest eased the princess’ grief somewhat, but she was not in the mood for guests.

The princess stayed to rest in the room while Prince Yu went to meet the crown prince and princess.

The appearance of Zhan Country’s royal family was rather appealing, at least the princes were each personable, unlike the royal family of Liang Country. Aside from Minmin, who took after his mother and was incredibly handsome, the rest of the individuals couldn’t compare to those of the Zhan royal family.

As the heir to the throne, the crown prince greatly resembled the Emperor of Zhan Country in both attitudes and actions. He had an air of composure beyond his years but did not lack elegance and intellect.

Originally, Prince Yu had planned to marry his daughter to the crown prince of Zhan Country. He had met the crown prince five years ago and thought he was a suitable match. At that time, the king had coincidentally also been considering a marriage alliance between the two countries.

However, the demise of his young son afterwards had left him dispirited, dragging the matter on.

When he resumed planning his daughter’s marriage, he heard that the Emperor of Zhan Country had already arranged a marriage for the crown prince.
