Raising a prince who eats all the world
Chapter 3
Zhang Zhao opened the curtain with one hand, and saw Yuan Chi and Li Yuan hugging each other. He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't show anything. He put the sword behind his back, his chest and face were stained with blood, and his face was pale. He said solemnly: "Master, there are assassins."
Yuan Chi frowned, let Li Yuan sit up and asked, "How is the situation?"
"Master Xiao and his men are fighting with the assassins. At present... they have the upper hand."
There were no more than a dozen guards in Yuanchi, so Xiao Rui had to rely on Xiao Rui's side when encountering such a thing.
"Do you know who it's for?"
Zhang Zhao lowered his head, "I don't know."
Yuan Chi frowned deeper, pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhang Zhao, and asked, "How is your injury?"
Zhang Zhao wiped his cheek with the back of his hand, "This subordinate is not injured, the blood belongs to someone else."
Yuan Chi nodded, "That's good."
At this moment, Zhang Zhao's face suddenly changed, and he said "Master be careful", and then lowered the curtain, followed by the sound of swords cutting each other.
Li Yuan was extremely nervous, and glanced at Yuanchi, who was quite calm, looking like he was thinking.
"Who do you think they are after?" Li Yuan asked.
Yuan Chi didn't answer right away. After a moment of silence, he said, "No matter who it is for, when we return to the South Deer Kingdom, our life will no longer be as peaceful as it used to be."
Although he was a proton when he was in Dongye Country, he didn't receive any careful care, but the people of Dongye Country didn't care about him, which made him live a relatively leisurely life. Apart from being poisoned, he didn't suffer any other harm, and The poison was also given by the people around him.
Li Yuan frowned, turned his head, the curtain was already stained with blood, he stretched out his hand and slowly opened a corner of the curtain, just in time to see a figure falling down, a long wound on his chest, bloody and bloody...
Whether it was before or after crossing, this was the first time Li Yuan saw such a bloody scene with his own eyes. He couldn't react in time, and was stunned until a hand covered his eyes from behind.
Yuan Chi whispered in his ear, "Don't look..."
Li Yuan swallowed his saliva, yes, this is still too exciting for him.I have only seen this kind of murder scene on TV before, and I don’t feel much bloody, but this time I saw it with my own eyes. A living person was hacked to death in front of him... Only then did he really realize that this The world is completely different from where he used to live.
"Don't be afraid..." Yuan Chi whispered in Li Yuan's ear, "I'm here."
Feeling the strong heartbeat of the man behind him, Li Yuan pursed his lips and let out a low "hmm".
The two leaned together like this, and Yuan Chi kept covering Li Yuan's eyes. After an unknown amount of time, the fighting outside gradually became quieter. After a few screams, the surroundings calmed down almost instantly. Each other's breathing can be heard clearly.
After a while, Zhang Zhao said outside, "Master, it's all right."
Yuan Chi slowly put down his hand, and Li Yuan also opened his eyes.
And at this time someone asked again: "Fourth prince, are you all right?"
It's Xiao Rui.Yuan Chi let go of Li Yuan, and reached out to raise the curtain.
Outside the carriage, Zhang Zhao stood aside, while Xiao Rui stood in front of the carriage. He didn't have a weapon in his hands, and his clothes were just a little messy. He looked calm and unhurried, and he didn't look like he had just experienced a fierce battle.
"Is the fourth prince injured?"
Yuan Chi shook his head, "No, thank you, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Rui nodded, "That's good."
"Master Xiao, are you and the eldest princess okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, the fourth prince. The next official is fine, and the eldest princess is also safe and sound."
"Do you know who the other party is from?" Yuan Chi asked, while looking at the surrounding situation, there were several corpses lying on the ground, some had horses, and there were signs of fighting and blood everywhere.
Xiao Rui frowned slightly, "I wanted to keep a few alive to ask for clarification, but they all killed themselves."
The task failed and he ended himself, so it can be seen that he is definitely not an ordinary bandit.
Yuan Chi lowered his eyes expressionlessly and thought for a while, then looked around, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go down the mountain quickly."
Xiao Rui seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just nodded.
Princess Ewha's carriage was damaged during the fight, and she couldn't find another carriage for a while, so she came to sit in the same carriage with Yuan Chi. Li Yuan originally wanted to go down and let the prince and princess sit together, but was told by Yuan Chi Words stopped.
"Be honest."
So he had to sit obediently in the corner.
After a while, Xiao Rui helped Li Hua get into the carriage. When Li Yuan was also in the carriage, Li Hua was slightly taken aback, but didn't say anything.
Li Yuan pulled out a thinner cushion from behind Yuanchi, put it in front of her with a smile, "Please use this."
Lihua smiled at him, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Li Yuan smiled a little embarrassedly. He was already a little curious about Princess Ewha, so he happened to have the opportunity to observe closely, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances at Princess Ewha.
In all fairness, Princess Ewha is definitely a beautiful girl, and she has the temperament of a member of the royal family, with a kind of awe-inspiring and inviolable dignity.
"Has the eldest princess ever been frightened?" Yuan Chi asked at this moment.
"No." Lihua shook her head, "Fourth prince, you don't have to be too polite, there is no one else here, we just talk and get along like ordinary friends." As she said, she sat cross-legged proudly, her two big His eyes blinked, looking like a ghost.
Yuan Chi and Li Yuan looked at each other, originally they were worried that the eldest princess would be uncomfortable in the car, but it seemed that they were overthinking.
Princess Ewha is much more friendly than she imagined. She chatted very well with Yuan Chi and Li Yuan in the carriage, especially with Li Yuan. Yuan happened to be good at these things, and the two had almost endless topics to talk about. After all, she was a 15-year-old girl, just the age of innocence.
Yuan Chi just watched quietly from the side, his gaze was always on Li Yuan.
After a long time, Li Yuan and Lihua were already very familiar, so Li Yuan asked a question that he had always been curious about.
"May I ask you, princess, are you willing to go to the South Deer Kingdom to get married?"
Originally, Yuan Chi was closing his eyes and resting his mind, but now he also opened his eyes.
Lihua blinked and smiled helplessly, "It doesn't matter whether I voluntarily or not. The king's order or my brother's order, I have to listen to either of these two."
As the eldest princess, it is her duty to get married, and she has no right to choose at all.
And Li Yuan also understands these.
Lihua suddenly looked up at Yuanchi and asked, "Will I marry you?"
When the fourth prince returns to the country, will he not fight for the crown prince?
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yuan subconsciously went to look at Yuan Chi.
Yuan Chi chuckled, "The eldest princess should marry the one she loves."
Lihua looked at him and smiled, lowered her eyes and said, "Don't talk about the one you love, for me, it doesn't matter who you marry?"
Yuan Chi looked at Li Yuan for some reason, Li Yuan stared blankly for a moment, then looked away uncomfortably.
It suddenly occurred to him that Yuan Chi's marriage probably couldn't be done as he wanted...
+ + + + +
Because he met an assassin and was afraid that there would be troubles on the way, Xiao Rui ordered everyone to cheer up and speed up. He traveled day and night, almost non-stop, and finally arrived at Nanlu Capital three days earlier than expected.
When approaching the gate of the city, Yuan Chi opened the curtain and took a look. The towering city wall was still standing, and he hadn't come back for four years, but it seemed that every scene and thing had never changed.
Yuan Chi sighed in his heart, he finally returned to this place.
"This is the capital of the South Lu Kingdom?" Li Yuan leaned over and looked out together, "It's really impressive..."
Yuanchi didn't speak, but Lihua took a look and then lowered her head. For a while, the three people in the car had different thoughts.
When they arrived at the bottom of the city, there was already a team waiting to greet them at the gate of the city.The day before his arrival, Xiao Rui had already sent someone to send a message to Nanlu Kingdom.
Xiao Rui came over and helped Princess Chang get out of the car first, Li Yuan and Yuan Chi also got out of the car one after another, Zhang Zhao stood behind Yuan Chi.
Among the welcoming team, the two people standing at the front showed subtle expressions after seeing Yuan Chi.
Yuan Chi looked at the two of them, and walked over.
"You are... Yuan Chi?" The first to speak was Yuan Cheng, the eldest prince of Nanlu Kingdom.
Yuan Cheng was born of the empress, he looks big and thick, he doesn't have royal aura, he looks like a martial artist.
Having not seen Yuan Chi for four years, Yuan Cheng feels strange to this handsome young man in front of him. Is this really his unfavored fourth brother?When he was sent to Dongye Country, he was clearly a sick child...
Yuan Chi smiled slightly, "Brother Huang, long time no see."
This "Brother Huang" made Yuan Cheng a little unaccustomed to it. He never thought that Yuan Chi would come back one day, so he just nodded resentfully.
At this time, another person behind him stepped forward and called out with a smile on his face: "Fourth Emperor Brother, you are finally back."
Yuan Chi looked at the other party and greeted him, "Brother Three Emperors."
Yuan Jing, the third prince of the South Deer Kingdom, was seven points similar to Yuan Cheng in appearance, but he gave people a much calmer feeling. He came to Yuan Chi, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Fourth prince, you grew up gone."
Yuan Chi smiled without saying a word.
"It's been a long journey, but I'm finally back. From now on, you and I will see each other often again." Yuan Jing stretched out her hand and patted Yuan Chi's shoulder, "How was it? Did the journey go smoothly?"
Yuan Chi smiled, "Thank you Brother Sanhuang for your concern."
Li Yuan looked at the three of them not far away, and felt that the scene of the brothers reuniting seemed...not very touching.Although the third prince seems to be very friendly, Yuan Chi's attitude is obviously polite, while the eldest prince is indifferent, but Yuan Chi and his two elder brothers really don't look alike, let alone that they really don't feel like they are a family , I don't know what their father looks like.
At this time Xiao Rui came over to salute Yuan Cheng and Yuan Jing, and introduced the eldest princess to them.
Yuan Cheng is much more enthusiastic about Lihua than Yuanchi, so he rushes to send her to the pre-arranged inn to rest, and takes Xiao Rui and Lihua to leave first.
And Yuan Jing sent Yuan Chi back to his mansion.
Although Yuanchi was sent to Dongye Kingdom four years ago, the emperor of Nanlu Kingdom gave him symbolic compensation before he left, so Yuanchi also had his own house outside the palace.
However, he only lived in that huge mansion for one day, and was sent to Dongye Kingdom at dawn the next day.
That place is really not a home for Yuan Chi.
Yuan Jing and Yuan Chi walked in the front on horseback, Li Yuan and Zhang Zhao followed in the carriage, and the whole welcoming team arrived at the fourth prince's mansion in Yuan Chi.
Yuan Chi got off his horse and looked back. Li Yuan was looking at the mansion curiously, as if he wanted to go in for a stroll, and couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth.
"Fourth Emperor Brother, let's go in."
He turned his head, nodded slightly, and followed Yuan Jing into the gate.
After entering the door, there is a pear tree on the left and right in the courtyard, full of buds, pink and white, which is quite beautiful.
"As for the place, I have already asked someone to clean it up for you. Even the flowers in the yard are arranged in advance, and they are all alive." Yuan Jing said with a smile, "Is the fourth emperor satisfied?"
Yuan Chi smiled slightly, "Thank you, Brother Sanhuang."
"It's all because my brothers are being polite." Yuan Jing stretched out her hand and patted Yuan Chi's back, frowned slightly, but immediately smiled and asked: "But Si Huangdi, you seem to be doing well in Dongye Kingdom. My body is much stronger than before."
"Brother Sanhuang was joking." Yuan Chi smiled lightly, "I was only 14 years old when I left, and now I'm eighteen, so my body will naturally be stronger than before."
Yuan Jing nodded, "Yes, they are all young men."
The two brothers smiled at each other, and behind them Li Yuan and Zhang Zhao came in with their bags.
Li Yuan brought back a lot of herbs from Dongye Kingdom, except for the ones that had been dried in the sun, there were also those that Yuan Chi ordered to pull out, carrying large and small bags on his back, Yuan Chi couldn't help seeing him looking like "fleeing from disaster". Laughed, "I told you not to bring so many, but you didn't listen."
"I planted them all myself, and I don't want to throw them away." Li Yuan hugged his chest like a baby.
Yuan Jing turned around, looked at Li Yuan and asked, "Who is this? It doesn't seem like someone you brought with you back then?" He recognized Zhang Zhao, but Li Yuan had never seen him before.And it seems that his relationship with Yuan Chi is very close.
"He is the cook I brought back." Yuan Chi replied.
Yuan Jing laughed, "What kind of cook do you want? We don't have it here, so why bring it back from another country?"
"I'm used to eating what he cooks." Yuan Chi said, and took another look at Li Yuan, "After all, he was the first person who seriously cooked for me."
Dongye Kingdom indeed has all kinds of cooks, but when he was in Dongye Kingdom, as a prince, he couldn't even eat the most ordinary meal.
Yuan Jing understood what he meant, didn't ask any more questions, and chatted with Yuan Chi casually for a few more words before leaving.
"Fourth Emperor, rest well, don't forget that Father will hold a banquet in the palace to welcome you tonight." He moved closer and patted Yuan Chi's shoulder, and whispered, "You must come on time."
Yuan Chi blinked, nodded and said, "Yes."
Yuan Jing raised the corner of her mouth, turned and left, and when she passed by Li Yuan, she gave him a sideways glance, then got on the horse and led the people away.
Li Yuan was a little palpitated by that look, the third prince's eyes were really unusually sharp.
"What are you looking at?" Yuan Chi asked, "Not coming in yet."
"coming……"
Li Yuan turned around, and just took two steps, the servants and maidservants who had been waiting in the house for a long time had already stood in two rows, knelt down and saluted Yuanchi.
"Greetings to the Fourth Prince."
Needless to say, these people were also arranged by Yuan Jing.
Yuan Chi looked at them expressionlessly, and said, "Get up."
Li Yuan stared blankly behind him. After all, he was not taken seriously. In the past two years, he and Yuan Chi lived the lives of ordinary people in Dongye Kingdom. When they returned home suddenly, the treatment was completely different. He doesn't know the habit, he is really not used to it, although it has nothing to do with him, he is just a cook.
The servants are very smart, seeing the two people coming in and out at the same time, they knew not to neglect Li Yuan. After the two settled down, they prepared hot water for Yuan Chi and Li Yuan to take a bath respectively. Yuan Jing was really well prepared, not only Households and servants were arranged, and even clothes and other daily necessities were prepared one by one.
Li Yuan finished washing first, changed his clothes and went to find Yuan Chi. After entering the house, he found Yuan Chi standing in front of the window looking at the scenery outside. He had only changed into the old clothes they brought back from Dongye Kingdom, and his half-dry hair was hanging loose. .
There were three big boxes on the ground beside them, full of clothes and shoes, all things used by the prince.
"What are you looking at?" Li Yuan went to stand beside Yuan Chi and asked.
Yuan Chi didn't answer right away, and after a moment of silence, he said: "This house was rewarded to me by my father before I went to Dongye Kingdom. I only stayed here for one night, and I didn't sleep at all that night, so I just stood here. Looking at the two pear trees in the yard, they had just been planted not long ago, so I don't know if they can survive..."
Li Yuan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but in the next second he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Isn't he living well now?"
Knowing what he was implying, Yuan Chi glanced at him and chuckled, "Yeah, someone should be taking good care of it."
"It's good to know." Li Yuan couldn't help raising his head, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
The two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.After a while, Yuan Chi said hesitantly, "You..."
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, suddenly a little nervous, "What's wrong?"
However, at this time someone outside the door suddenly preached: "Master, it's almost time, someone from the palace is here to pick you up."
Yuan Chi frowned slightly, "Understood." He looked at Li Yuan again, and finally said, "I'm going."
Li Yuan suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, he couldn't tell if it was a loss or a pity, but he didn't show it, he just looked Yuan Chi up and down, and said: "You are going to the palace, at least change into some decent clothes."
Although Yuan Chi's body and appearance are good, but as the saying goes, people rely on clothes and go to the palace, how can the fourth prince dress so casually.
Yuan Chi chuckled, "It doesn't matter what I wear, who cares about me." He said that no one here thinks that he can come back alive, and no one wants him to come back.
Just like Yuan Jing, his performance is just pretending.
Li Yuan was anxious, "Then people can't ignore you!" He said, he squatted in front of the box and turned over, looked left and right, and finally picked out a set of clothes for Yuan Chi that he thought were good.
"Hurry up and put it on, you just came back, you have to show your momentum, this first impression is very important."
Yuan Chi chuckled, but still listened to his words, took off his clothes, took the clothes from Li Yuan and changed them on.
After Yuan Chi took off his clothes, Li Yuan sighed that his body has grown a lot in the past two years. After the poison in his body was detoxified and discharged, he seemed to have grown up suddenly, and his whole body was pumped up.
Fortunately, those poisons were chronic, and the person who poisoned him wanted to kill him quietly, but who ordered the former chief guard to poison him... He felt that Yuan Chi knew the answer, but he just didn't say it.
"Where's the belt?" Yuan Chi asked after getting dressed.
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, "Oh..." After realizing it, he went to look for a belt again, chose a suitable color and handed it to Yuan Chi, but the latter raised his arms and motioned for him to tie it on for him.
There was no way, Li Yuan resigned himself to his fate and went to tie his belt and tie his hair, which he had learned in the past two years.
After finishing everything, he took two steps back to look at it, then nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad."
Yuan Chi is much better-looking than his two older brothers, and he probably inherited his mother. Li Yuan heard him mention that his mother had passed away.
"Then I'm going, you stay at home well, you can walk around the house, and I'll take you out when I come back." Yuan Chi said to Li Yuan before leaving after he was ready.
Li Yuan nodded, "Go, I'll wait for you to come back."
Yuan Chi looked at him, smiled, turned and left.
Li Yuan picked up Yuan Chi's changed clothes and wanted to fold them for him, but when he held them in his hands, the clothes seemed to still have Yuan Chi's body temperature, he was slightly stunned, and slowly picked up the clothes and stuck them to his face Come on, take a deep sniff...
Although he thought it was perverted, he just couldn't help it... This wasn't the first time he did something like this.
Li Yuan liked men before time travelling, and he did not hide his sexuality, but in his last life he was blown to death without even having a serious relationship; He still likes men, and—the current Yuanchi is exactly the type he likes.
They have been together day and night for two years. Although he always complained that he became Yuanchi's nanny because he was bound by the words "life-saving benefactor", but in fact he did it willingly. Yuanchi was not bad to him, but also It's just the attitude of ordinary friends.
Li Yuan told himself repeatedly: Rabbits don't eat grass by the side of their nests, no matter what you do, you can't get Yuan Chi's idea.
And regardless of whether Yuan Chi likes men or not, Li Yuan thinks Yuan Chi is a bit weird, not that he has a bad temper or something, he always feels that Yuan Chi is tall and unpredictable, which makes him feel strange, but he can't say It's so strange... This kind of unpredictable person is too insecure to associate with.
Furthermore, Yuanchi is a prince, maybe he will become an emperor in the future, even if he doesn't marry Princess Lihua, he will marry another lady from a great family, and he will be a cook until his death.
Li Yuan felt that it was better not to start this kind of fruitless relationship.
It has been two years since he came to this world. At the beginning, Li Yuan looked in the mirror every day to get used to the new self in the mirror. He felt that this was a rebirth. Since God gave him such an opportunity, he had to face it calmly and accept it with joy.
Life is alive, as long as you live, you must live well.
So Li Yuan had already made up his mind, the day Yuan Chi got married, he would leave and start a new life.
Folding Yuan Chi's clothes, Li Yuan was about to go out when a maid suddenly walked into the yard, and bowed when she saw Li Yuan, "Young Master Li."
Li Yuan was startled, he thought he was still a cook here, but unexpectedly he became a "son".Presumably it was Yuan Chi's order.
He nodded and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"
"A guest came to see the master."
"He has gone to the palace." Li Yuan said, "Let him come back tomorrow."
"But..." The servant girl hesitated, "He is..."
Hearing the three words spoken by the maid, Li Yuan frowned.
Yuan Chi frowned, let Li Yuan sit up and asked, "How is the situation?"
"Master Xiao and his men are fighting with the assassins. At present... they have the upper hand."
There were no more than a dozen guards in Yuanchi, so Xiao Rui had to rely on Xiao Rui's side when encountering such a thing.
"Do you know who it's for?"
Zhang Zhao lowered his head, "I don't know."
Yuan Chi frowned deeper, pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhang Zhao, and asked, "How is your injury?"
Zhang Zhao wiped his cheek with the back of his hand, "This subordinate is not injured, the blood belongs to someone else."
Yuan Chi nodded, "That's good."
At this moment, Zhang Zhao's face suddenly changed, and he said "Master be careful", and then lowered the curtain, followed by the sound of swords cutting each other.
Li Yuan was extremely nervous, and glanced at Yuanchi, who was quite calm, looking like he was thinking.
"Who do you think they are after?" Li Yuan asked.
Yuan Chi didn't answer right away. After a moment of silence, he said, "No matter who it is for, when we return to the South Deer Kingdom, our life will no longer be as peaceful as it used to be."
Although he was a proton when he was in Dongye Country, he didn't receive any careful care, but the people of Dongye Country didn't care about him, which made him live a relatively leisurely life.

Li Yuan frowned, turned his head, the curtain was already stained with blood, he stretched out his hand and slowly opened a corner of the curtain, just in time to see a figure falling down, a long wound on his chest, bloody and bloody...
Whether it was before or after crossing, this was the first time Li Yuan saw such a bloody scene with his own eyes. He couldn't react in time, and was stunned until a hand covered his eyes from behind.
Yuan Chi whispered in his ear, "Don't look..."
Li Yuan swallowed his saliva, yes, this is still too exciting for him.I have only seen this kind of murder scene on TV before, and I don’t feel much bloody, but this time I saw it with my own eyes. A living person was hacked to death in front of him... Only then did he really realize that this The world is completely different from where he used to live.
"Don't be afraid..." Yuan Chi whispered in Li Yuan's ear, "I'm here."
Feeling the strong heartbeat of the man behind him, Li Yuan pursed his lips and let out a low "hmm".
The two leaned together like this, and Yuan Chi kept covering Li Yuan's eyes. After an unknown amount of time, the fighting outside gradually became quieter. After a few screams, the surroundings calmed down almost instantly. Each other's breathing can be heard clearly.
After a while, Zhang Zhao said outside, "Master, it's all right."
Yuan Chi slowly put down his hand, and Li Yuan also opened his eyes.
And at this time someone asked again: "Fourth prince, are you all right?"
It's Xiao Rui.Yuan Chi let go of Li Yuan, and reached out to raise the curtain.
Outside the carriage, Zhang Zhao stood aside, while Xiao Rui stood in front of the carriage. He didn't have a weapon in his hands, and his clothes were just a little messy. He looked calm and unhurried, and he didn't look like he had just experienced a fierce battle.
"Is the fourth prince injured?"
Yuan Chi shook his head, "No, thank you, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Rui nodded, "That's good."
"Master Xiao, are you and the eldest princess okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, the fourth prince. The next official is fine, and the eldest princess is also safe and sound."
"Do you know who the other party is from?" Yuan Chi asked, while looking at the surrounding situation, there were several corpses lying on the ground, some had horses, and there were signs of fighting and blood everywhere.
Xiao Rui frowned slightly, "I wanted to keep a few alive to ask for clarification, but they all killed themselves."
The task failed and he ended himself, so it can be seen that he is definitely not an ordinary bandit.
Yuan Chi lowered his eyes expressionlessly and thought for a while, then looked around, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go down the mountain quickly."

So he had to sit obediently in the corner.
After a while, Xiao Rui helped Li Hua get into the carriage. When Li Yuan was also in the carriage, Li Hua was slightly taken aback, but didn't say anything.
Li Yuan pulled out a thinner cushion from behind Yuanchi, put it in front of her with a smile, "Please use this."
Lihua smiled at him, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Li Yuan smiled a little embarrassedly. He was already a little curious about Princess Ewha, so he happened to have the opportunity to observe closely, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances at Princess Ewha.
In all fairness, Princess Ewha is definitely a beautiful girl, and she has the temperament of a member of the royal family, with a kind of awe-inspiring and inviolable dignity.

At this time, another person behind him stepped forward and called out with a smile on his face: "Fourth Emperor Brother, you are finally back."
Yuan Chi looked at the other party and greeted him, "Brother Three Emperors."
Yuan Jing, the third prince of the South Deer Kingdom, was seven points similar to Yuan Cheng in appearance, but he gave people a much calmer feeling. He came to Yuan Chi, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Fourth prince, you grew up gone."
Yuan Chi smiled without saying a word.
"It's been a long journey, but I'm finally back. From now on, you and I will see each other often again." Yuan Jing stretched out her hand and patted Yuan Chi's shoulder, "How was it? Did the journey go smoothly?"
Yuan Chi smiled, "Thank you Brother Sanhuang for your concern."
Li Yuan looked at the three of them not far away, and felt that the scene of the brothers reuniting seemed...not very touching.Although the third prince seems to be very friendly, Yuan Chi's attitude is obviously polite, while the eldest prince is indifferent, but Yuan Chi and his two elder brothers really don't look alike, let alone that they really don't feel like they are a family , I don't know what their father looks like.
At this time Xiao Rui came over to salute Yuan Cheng and Yuan Jing, and introduced the eldest princess to them.
Yuan Cheng is much more enthusiastic about Lihua than Yuanchi, so he rushes to send her to the pre-arranged inn to rest, and takes Xiao Rui and Lihua to leave first.
And Yuan Jing sent Yuan Chi back to his mansion.
Although Yuanchi was sent to Dongye Kingdom four years ago, the emperor of Nanlu Kingdom gave him symbolic compensation before he left, so Yuanchi also had his own house outside the palace.
However, he only lived in that huge mansion for one day, and was sent to Dongye Kingdom at dawn the next day.
That place is really not a home for Yuan Chi.
Yuan Jing and Yuan Chi walked in the front on horseback, Li Yuan and Zhang Zhao followed in the carriage, and the whole welcoming team arrived at the fourth prince's mansion in Yuan Chi.
Yuan Chi got off his horse and looked back. Li Yuan was looking at the mansion curiously, as if he wanted to go in for a stroll, and couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth.
"Fourth Emperor Brother, let's go in."
He turned his head, nodded slightly, and followed Yuan Jing into the gate.
After entering the door, there is a pear tree on the left and right in the courtyard, full of buds, pink and white, which is quite beautiful.
"As for the place, I have already asked someone to clean it up for you. Even the flowers in the yard are arranged in advance, and they are all alive." Yuan Jing said with a smile, "Is the fourth emperor satisfied?"
Yuan Chi smiled slightly, "Thank you, Brother Sanhuang."
"It's all because my brothers are being polite." Yuan Jing stretched out her hand and patted Yuan Chi's back, frowned slightly, but immediately smiled and asked: "But Si Huangdi, you seem to be doing well in Dongye Kingdom. My body is much stronger than before."
"Brother Sanhuang was joking." Yuan Chi smiled lightly, "I was only 14 years old when I left, and now I'm eighteen, so my body will naturally be stronger than before."
Yuan Jing nodded, "Yes, they are all young men."
The two brothers smiled at each other, and behind them Li Yuan and Zhang Zhao came in with their bags.
Li Yuan brought back a lot of herbs from Dongye Kingdom, except for the ones that had been dried in the sun, there were also those that Yuan Chi ordered to pull out, carrying large and small bags on his back, Yuan Chi couldn't help seeing him looking like "fleeing from disaster". Laughed, "I told you not to bring so many, but you didn't listen."
"I planted them all myself, and I don't want to throw them away." Li Yuan hugged his chest like a baby.
Yuan Jing turned around, looked at Li Yuan and asked, "Who is this? It doesn't seem like someone you brought with you back then?" He recognized Zhang Zhao, but Li Yuan had never seen him before.And it seems that his relationship with Yuan Chi is very close.
"He is the cook I brought back." Yuan Chi replied.
Yuan Jing laughed, "What kind of cook do you want? We don't have it here, so why bring it back from another country?"
"I'm used to eating what he cooks." Yuan Chi said, and took another look at Li Yuan, "After all, he was the first person who seriously cooked for me."
Dongye Kingdom indeed has all kinds of cooks, but when he was in Dongye Kingdom, as a prince, he couldn't even eat the most ordinary meal.
Yuan Jing understood what he meant, didn't ask any more questions, and chatted with Yuan Chi casually for a few more words before leaving.
"Fourth Emperor, rest well, don't forget that Father will hold a banquet in the palace to welcome you tonight." He moved closer and patted Yuan Chi's shoulder, and whispered, "You must come on time."
Yuan Chi blinked, nodded and said, "Yes."
Yuan Jing raised the corner of her mouth, turned and left, and when she passed by Li Yuan, she gave him a sideways glance, then got on the horse and led the people away.
Li Yuan was a little palpitated by that look, the third prince's eyes were really unusually sharp.
"What are you looking at?" Yuan Chi asked, "Not coming in yet."
"coming……"
Li Yuan turned around, and just took two steps, the servants and maidservants who had been waiting in the house for a long time had already stood in two rows, knelt down and saluted Yuanchi.
"Greetings to the Fourth Prince."
Needless to say, these people were also arranged by Yuan Jing.
Yuan Chi looked at them expressionlessly, and said, "Get up."
Li Yuan stared blankly behind him. After all, he was not taken seriously. In the past two years, he and Yuan Chi lived the lives of ordinary people in Dongye Kingdom. When they returned home suddenly, the treatment was completely different. He doesn't know the habit, he is really not used to it, although it has nothing to do with him, he is just a cook.
The servants are very smart, seeing the two people coming in and out at the same time, they knew not to neglect Li Yuan. After the two settled down, they prepared hot water for Yuan Chi and Li Yuan to take a bath respectively. Yuan Jing was really well prepared, not only Households and servants were arranged, and even clothes and other daily necessities were prepared one by one.
Li Yuan finished washing first, changed his clothes and went to find Yuan Chi. After entering the house, he found Yuan Chi standing in front of the window looking at the scenery outside. He had only changed into the old clothes they brought back from Dongye Kingdom, and his half-dry hair was hanging loose. .
There were three big boxes on the ground beside them, full of clothes and shoes, all things used by the prince.
"What are you looking at?" Li Yuan went to stand beside Yuan Chi and asked.
Yuan Chi didn't answer right away, and after a moment of silence, he said: "This house was rewarded to me by my father before I went to Dongye Kingdom. I only stayed here for one night, and I didn't sleep at all that night, so I just stood here. Looking at the two pear trees in the yard, they had just been planted not long ago, so I don't know if they can survive..."
Li Yuan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but in the next second he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Isn't he living well now?"
Knowing what he was implying, Yuan Chi glanced at him and chuckled, "Yeah, someone should be taking good care of it."
"It's good to know." Li Yuan couldn't help raising his head, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
The two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.After a while, Yuan Chi said hesitantly, "You..."
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, suddenly a little nervous, "What's wrong?"
However, at this time someone outside the door suddenly preached: "Master, it's almost time, someone from the palace is here to pick you up."
Yuan Chi frowned slightly, "Understood." He looked at Li Yuan again, and finally said, "I'm going."
Li Yuan suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, he couldn't tell if it was a loss or a pity, but he didn't show it, he just looked Yuan Chi up and down, and said: "You are going to the palace, at least change into some decent clothes."
Although Yuan Chi's body and appearance are good, but as the saying goes, people rely on clothes and go to the palace, how can the fourth prince dress so casually.
Yuan Chi chuckled, "It doesn't matter what I wear, who cares about me." He said that no one here thinks that he can come back alive, and no one wants him to come back.
Just like Yuan Jing, his performance is just pretending.
Li Yuan was anxious, "Then people can't ignore you!" He said, he squatted in front of the box and turned over, looked left and right, and finally picked out a set of clothes for Yuan Chi that he thought were good.
"Hurry up and put it on, you just came back, you have to show your momentum, this first impression is very important."
Yuan Chi chuckled, but still listened to his words, took off his clothes, took the clothes from Li Yuan and changed them on.
After Yuan Chi took off his clothes, Li Yuan sighed that his body has grown a lot in the past two years. After the poison in his body was detoxified and discharged, he seemed to have grown up suddenly, and his whole body was pumped up.
Fortunately, those poisons were chronic, and the person who poisoned him wanted to kill him quietly, but who ordered the former chief guard to poison him... He felt that Yuan Chi knew the answer, but he just didn't say it.
"Where's the belt?" Yuan Chi asked after getting dressed.
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, "Oh..." After realizing it, he went to look for a belt again, chose a suitable color and handed it to Yuan Chi, but the latter raised his arms and motioned for him to tie it on for him.
There was no way, Li Yuan resigned himself to his fate and went to tie his belt and tie his hair, which he had learned in the past two years.
After finishing everything, he took two steps back to look at it, then nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad."
Yuan Chi is much better-looking than his two older brothers, and he probably inherited his mother. Li Yuan heard him mention that his mother had passed away.
"Then I'm going, you stay at home well, you can walk around the house, and I'll take you out when I come back." Yuan Chi said to Li Yuan before leaving after he was ready.
Li Yuan nodded, "Go, I'll wait for you to come back."
Yuan Chi looked at him, smiled, turned and left.
Li Yuan picked up Yuan Chi's changed clothes and wanted to fold them for him, but when he held them in his hands, the clothes seemed to still have Yuan Chi's body temperature, he was slightly stunned, and slowly picked up the clothes and stuck them to his face Come on, take a deep sniff...
Although he thought it was perverted, he just couldn't help it... This wasn't the first time he did something like this.
Li Yuan liked men before time travelling, and he did not hide his sexuality, but in his last life he was blown to death without even having a serious relationship; He still likes men, and—the current Yuanchi is exactly the type he likes.
They have been together day and night for two years. Although he always complained that he became Yuanchi's nanny because he was bound by the words "life-saving benefactor", but in fact he did it willingly. Yuanchi was not bad to him, but also It's just the attitude of ordinary friends.
Li Yuan told himself repeatedly: Rabbits don't eat grass by the side of their nests, no matter what you do, you can't get Yuan Chi's idea.
And regardless of whether Yuan Chi likes men or not, Li Yuan thinks Yuan Chi is a bit weird, not that he has a bad temper or something, he always feels that Yuan Chi is tall and unpredictable, which makes him feel strange, but he can't say It's so strange... This kind of unpredictable person is too insecure to associate with.
Furthermore, Yuanchi is a prince, maybe he will become an emperor in the future, even if he doesn't marry Princess Lihua, he will marry another lady from a great family, and he will be a cook until his death.
Li Yuan felt that it was better not to start this kind of fruitless relationship.
It has been two years since he came to this world. At the beginning, Li Yuan looked in the mirror every day to get used to the new self in the mirror. He felt that this was a rebirth. Since God gave him such an opportunity, he had to face it calmly and accept it with joy.
Life is alive, as long as you live, you must live well.
So Li Yuan had already made up his mind, the day Yuan Chi got married, he would leave and start a new life.
Folding Yuan Chi's clothes, Li Yuan was about to go out when a maid suddenly walked into the yard, and bowed when she saw Li Yuan, "Young Master Li."
Li Yuan was startled, he thought he was still a cook here, but unexpectedly he became a "son".Presumably it was Yuan Chi's order.
He nodded and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"
"A guest came to see the master."
"He has gone to the palace." Li Yuan said, "Let him come back tomorrow."
"But..." The servant girl hesitated, "He is..."
Hearing the three words spoken by the maid, Li Yuan frowned.
