Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

Above the earth, the sky was as clear as a sheet of blue paper, with a few thin white clouds floating slowly in the wind like cotton candy melted by the sun.

King Xian took Shi Ying to Long Yuqi's new academy soon.

Originally, the Empress Dowager was reluctant to let Long Yuqi go out to study when he arrived at the palace. She told King Xian that when he returned to the capital, he would find a teacher to make up for the missed classes of Long Yuqi.

King Xian refused directly, saying that children are playful and will forget the knowledge they have learned if they do not learn for a period of time.

In the end, both sides took a step back. Long Yuqi went to the academy to study during the day and returned to the Royal Courtyard immediately after school in the afternoon, so that Long Yuqi could chat with the Queen Mother at night.

Of course, the reason why King Xian insisted on sending Long Yuqi to the academy was because as long as Long Yuqi was there, Shi Ying would always see Long Yuqi in her heart and eyes.

When he first came to the other courtyard, Long Yuqi didn't have to go to school. Shi Ying played with Long Yuqi every day, leaving King Xian behind.

During those days, Shi Ying almost always stayed with Long Yuqi except at night. Even when they went to see the Queen Mother, they were together.

So King Xian sent Long Yuqi to the academy.

This was very good. During the day, Long Yuqi was in the academy, and at night the Queen Mother missed him. After dinner, Long Yuqi went to sleep in a separate room in the Queen Mother's backyard.

In this way, Shi Ying and Long Yuqi can't get into trouble together. The main reason is that they don't play together, so Shi Ying can see King Xian.

"Master, can you tell me sir to let Qier rest for a few days?" Shi Ying said with expectant eyes in the carriage.

When King Xian heard this, he immediately became serious.

"no!"

After hearing this, Shi Ying immediately retracted her head and sat beside the carriage politely, not daring to speak any more.

She remembered that every time King Xian showed this expression, she would be beaten at night. No matter how she begged for mercy, King Xian would not let her go.

Therefore, she felt closer to Long Yuqi. Long Yuqi would take her to play and would not bully her.

Even once Shi Ying accidentally broke the vase belonging to the Empress Dowager, Long Yuqi stopped it for her.

When the Empress Dowager saw that Long Yuqi had broken it, she didn't blame him too much.

At this time, King Xian hugged Shi Ying, and there was a hint of secret joy in his eyes.

"You know you're scared, let's see how I deal with you tonight!"

How could King Xian be so cruel to Shi Ying?Of course he couldn't bear it. He had already planned to go back in the evening and let Long Yuqi practice one more copybook and copy the newly learned poem twenty times.

Arriving at the academy, when King Xian and Shi Ying passed by the book window, Long Yuqi was listening carefully to the class with a book in his hand.

Shi Ying knew that she couldn't call Long Yuqi at this time, otherwise she would disturb her husband's lessons for other children, so she was led by King Xian to the backyard of the academy to wait.

The dean personally entertained King Xian and Shi Ying.

The two of them waited in the backyard for two sticks of incense before Long Yuqi left school.

The dean sent someone to wait at the door early in the morning. As soon as Long Yuqi finished, he brought Long Yuqi to King Xian and Shi Ying.

"I've met my father, queen, mother and concubine." Long Yuqi saluted to King Xian and Shi Ying with dignity.

The moment he leaned over, he rolled his eyes at King Xian.

Because Long Yuqi came to the academy during the day and went to the Queen Mother's Palace to accompany the Queen Mother after dinner in the evening, he guessed the purpose of his father sending him to the academy.

But he couldn't resist, because it was his father.

When King Xian asked Long Yuqi what he had learned today, Long Yuqi answered honestly that it was a long article.

So King Xian asked him to copy it five times, which was enough to keep Long Yuqi busy for most of the night.

"Father, the child will finish copying carefully. Can you tell the husband to let the child have a day off tomorrow?" Long Yuqi said in a pleading tone.

Originally, the academy had a rest period last month, but King Xian sent him to the academy and asked him to practice archery with his master. Therefore, Long Yuqi had not had a rest since he entered the academy.

King Xian instantly knew what Long Yuqi had in mind.

King Xian took a sip from the teacup and said expressionlessly:

"Hmph! You are not worthy of negotiating terms with me. If you don't learn from me, I will send you back to the capital and let you stay alone in the capital."

Long Yuqi was immediately frightened.

"Father, I know I was wrong."

After all, in the Royal Courtyard, Long Yuqi could chat with Shi Ying about fun things before dinner.

King Xian stood up and took Shi Ying's hand, pulling Shi Ying out of the door.

Sometimes King Xian felt that instead of finding a wife for himself, he found a playmate for Long Yuqi.

"I have something to do with your mother and concubine. I won't go back for dinner tonight. Remember to tell your grandmother and uncle Huang when you go back."

Then Long Yuqi was left alone in the wind.

"Didn't I just send word that you came to pick me up? Why did you leave me behind?" Long Yuqi murmured to himself.

King Xian also planned to take Shi Ying and Long Yuqi outside to have a good meal as a family of three.

But Shi Ying and Long Yuqi both said the same thing to him today, even if it was his own son, King Xian felt disgusted.

King Xian hopes that Long Yuqi will grow up quickly, so that when Long Yuqi marries his wife, he will no longer miss his wife all day long.

"Master, aren't we here to pick up Qi'er to have dinner with us? Why have we left him behind again?" Shi Ying didn't understand why King Xian suddenly became unhappy again.

Xian Wang immediately changed his serious expression and tapped Shi Ying's forehead lightly with his finger.

"I'll take you to eat delicious food. If Qier is here, he will steal it from you, so we won't take him."

Shi Ying thought of Long Yuqi competing with her for the snacks Lin Shu made for her on the way here, and immediately nodded.

"Okay, let's not take him with us. We'll go back to play with him after we finish eating."

King Xian got on the carriage and turned around to see Long Yuqi, who was already standing at the door and staring at their carriage with a disappointed expression.

King Xian saw Long Yuqi reluctantly getting on his carriage home, hugging Shi Ying and letting her lean on his shoulder.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile.

"You little brat, you still want to compete with me!"

In fact, since the former Princess Xian gave birth to Long Yuqi, the former Princess has devoted her whole heart and soul to Long Yuqi.

King Xian had long disliked Long Yuqi.

What's more, the kid Long Yuqi knows how to compete with King Xian for favor.

After the death of the former princess, King Xian also taught Long Yuqi very harshly because Long Yuqi would no longer be as playful as before.

Unexpectedly, after marrying Shi Ying, Long Yuqi used another method to compete for favor in front of Shi Ying.

So King Xian tried his best to find something for Long Yuqi to do.

On the way to the Royal Courtyard, Long Yuqi and Shi Ying competed for snacks, and the two had a quarrel over this matter.

Although Long Yuqi compromised in the end, whenever King Xian wanted to sow discord between Long Yuqi and Shi Ying, he would tell Shi Ying that Long Yuqi would steal her food.

In this way, Shi Ying immediately left Long Yuqi behind because of the food.

King Xian touched Shi Ying's head and thought:

"Fortunately, you are silly and easy to coax."
