"Senior brother and sister Zhen'er have boarded this ship, which is equivalent to entering our country of Liang. It is up to us to fulfill our friendship as landlords. Senior brother, please..."

"..."

The two of them walked to the bow of the boat together, Zhu Xiuyuan took his seat, and Li Qingnu put down the plate of pastries.

The wind on the river became stronger, and the sails were blown vigorously. The big ship broke through the river, splashing into clusters of waves, accompanied by the sound of waves.

After Zhu Xiuyuan sat down, he chatted with Li Jiye about various topics.

They have endless topics to talk about, and they can talk about anything.

This time, the conversation is about governing the country.

Zhu Xiuyuan had many novel views and concepts, which were all refreshing to Li Jiye.

Every time he said a word, Li Jiye would frown and think for a long time...

Princess Anle, Li Qingnu, occasionally interjected a word, but most of the time, she was either urging the ship's kitchen to make cakes, or tending to the small stove.

Busy all the time.

After Zhu Xiuyuan came up with a new point of view, Li Jiye fell into deep thought as usual and sat there motionless, frowning.

He also held a piece of pastry in his hand, hovering a few inches in front of his mouth.

Gululu!

The kettle on the small stove was boiling, and the lid of the pot was raised, making a soft sound.

Zhu Xiuyuan had a faint smile on his lips, and his eyes suddenly fell on the kettle.

Immediately afterwards, a clean, snow-white handkerchief was placed on the copper handle of the kettle. Then, a small, shiny hand stretched out and grasped the copper handle through the handkerchief.

Use gentle force to lift the kettle.

Zhu Xiuyuan's gaze caught that little shiny hand.

He lifted the kettle with his little hand and tipped it gently. A stream of boiling water flowed out of the spout that was spraying white mist.

The sound of boiling water being poured into the tea cup was heard.

Soon, the teacup was filled.

The little hand held the kettle, switched positions neatly, and filled another teacup with water...

Zhu Xiuyuan was a little crazy——

Princess Anle is a golden girl, but she is extremely skillful and neat when doing these tasks. Her whole set of movements gives people a sense of beauty, just like dancing.

Bang!

With a soft sound, the copper teapot was placed on the small stove again.

The snow-white veil covering the copper handle was also taken off casually.

Zhu Xiuyuan came back to his senses, followed Li Qingnu's delicate little hand, and looked at her oval face that always had a smile on it.

Li Qingnu raised his eyes slightly and smiled sweetly.

This smile is like the warm sun in March, which can melt the ice and snow.

"Your Highness Princess, you have worked hard. You have prepared cakes and cooked tea yourself. My wife and I really deserve it." Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.

"It's not hard. Senior brother is a senior brother, and I am a junior sister. This is as it should be. Besides..." Li Qingnu slowed down the movement of his hands and glanced sideways at the imperial brother who was deep in thought.

Li Qingnu said no more, but continued busy with the work at hand.

Zhu Xiuyuan followed her gaze and suddenly felt enlightened when he saw Li Jiye.

Probably, Li Qingnu felt that her royal brother had benefited a lot from talking with him.

Li Jiye is very likely to ascend to the throne and sit on the throne of the Liang Kingdom in the future. It would be great if he could get some benefit or inspiration from Zhu Xiuyuan.

At least that's what Li Qingnu thinks.

After chatting for a while, the maid came to report that the medicine was ready.

Zhu Xiuyuan stood up to say goodbye and went to personally supervise Dong Shuzhen's drinking of medicine.

Soon, only two brothers and sisters, Li Jiye and Li Qingnu, were left at the bow of the ship.

"Brother Imperial, what Senior Brother just said...the Imperial Sister sounds very profound and obscure, but she also vaguely understands it. I wonder how Brother Imperial feels?"

Li Qingnu asked.

When Li Jiye came back to his senses, he realized that he was still holding the piece of pastry in his hand. He was stunned for a moment, then threw it into his mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, and then said: "Brother Zhu's statement is unprecedented. I have been thinking about it."

, but it feels very reasonable..."

In the cabin.

Zhu Xiuyuan personally took the medicine and fed Dong Shuzhen to drink it one mouthful at a time.

The medicine was very bitter, and it took Zhu Xiuyuan a lot of effort to get her to drink it obediently.

"How do you feel, madam? Are you feeling better?"

Zhu Xiuyuan sat slantedly on the edge of the bed, while Dong Shuzhen leaned on his chest, her little face remained twisted...it was due to the pain caused by the medicine.

At the same time, Dong Shuzhen tightly grasped Zhu Xiuyuan's clothes with both hands, clenched them into fists, and seemed to grit her teeth, as if resisting great pain.

Zhu Xiuyuan had a slight smile on his lips.

One hand was holding her waist, and the other hand was stroking her hair at the temples, pinching her bun-like cheeks, and gently patting her clenched fists.

On the other side, Xia Wu has not left yet.

She looked on, her eyes shining, and an aunt's smile gradually bloomed on her face...

The ship was sailing at high speed. Looking out from the propped-up window, we could see the waves breaking through the ship and the white caps rolling in.

There were also the sounds of wind, the rattling of the mast, and the footsteps outside the cabin, all mixed together.

Zhu Xiuyuan sat on the edge of the bed and could clearly feel the ups and downs of the ship.

after awhile.

Dong Shuzhen, who was leaning in his arms, suddenly let out a soft "Eh", and moved her upper body away from Zhu Xiuyuan's chest, with a look of surprise on her face, and her hands that were holding on to his clothes loosened.

"Husband, I seem to be fine!"

Dong Shuzhen turned her head, her big black and white eyes blinking and blinking, the look of surprise could no longer be concealed and was about to burst out.

"Get up and take a few steps to take a look." Zhu Xiuyuan was also surprised.

"OK, all right."

"How's it going? Are you still feeling dizzy?"

"Not very dizzy, just a little bit."

"But... this doesn't affect my walking at all, haha, I'm fine, I'm fine!"

Dong Shuzhen was as happy as a child. She called Zhu Xiuyuan twice, then took Xia Wu's hand and jumped up and down.

Xia Wu was also very happy and said that Li Qingnu's medicine was very effective.

Bow deck.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen returned here again.

Li Qingnu was concerned for a while and then took Dong Shuzhen to go fishing.

She also said that for today’s lunch, she would eat the fish they caught.

Zhu Xiuyuan sat down opposite Li Jiye, drinking tea and discussing world affairs with Li Jiye...

After throwing out another novel point of view, Li Jiye solidified again.

He frowned in deep thought, like a sculpture.

Zhu Xiuyuan had time, he ate a piece of pastry and picked up the tea cup. At this moment, Dong Shuzhen's exclamation came from the side of the boat: "Oh, senior sister, you caught another big fish..."

Zhu Xiuyuan stopped drinking tea and looked in the direction of the two women.

I saw Li Qingnu pulling up the fishing rod. At the end of the long fishing line, a big fish as long as a foot was hanging, twisting its plump body.

When Dong Shuzhen saw the big fish, she exclaimed repeatedly and even dropped the fishing rod in her hand...

Fortunately, Xia Wu followed her. She had sharp eyesight and quick hands. She was caught by Xia Wu just before the fishing rod fell into the river.
