Pregnant with His Highness' cub before becoming a monk

Along the way, Shi Fang thought about many situations when he and His Highness the Crown Prince saw each other again.

He thought, maybe the young man would question him like in a dream; maybe he still had the old grudge and treated him indifferently; maybe he would treat him as a stranger and ignore him...but he never thought about it, The prince would call "brother" with red eyes, and even hugged him without any grievances like when he was a child.

But it just happened.

Shi Fang didn't recover until he entered the palace gate together with the prince.

"Royal Father and Empress Father were very happy to learn that my brother had returned to the palace. They prepared a palace banquet early in the morning and waited for my brother to return to the palace for reunion." The prince said.

Shi Fang restrained his thoughts and hurriedly said, "Thank you Your Majesty and Queen for your love."

"Elder brother is His Royal Highness of the Great Banquet Dynasty, you deserve it," said the prince.

Shi Fang couldn't help turning his head to look at the prince, and saw the young man's expression was calm, with a smile on his brow and eyes, and he seemed to be in a good mood.The two were separated by a step, and Shi Fang looked at the young man in front of him, feeling so strange that he almost couldn't recognize each other.

The prince was very stubborn when he was young, and he would not change what he believed.

In the year Shifang left the palace, the still young prince had a quarrel with him for a long time, and he didn't even go to see him off when Shifang left the palace.

After that, for three consecutive years, the prince did not visit Shifang at Qingyin Temple.

Then one day, Shifang went to clean outside the temple early in the morning, and saw a young man standing outside the temple in the mist.

From that day on, the boy often went to the temple.

However, he was still unwilling to reconcile with Shifang, and he seldom said anything, as if he was just looking at each other.

Then for some unknown reason, the boy suddenly stopped coming.

There is no explanation, no reason, just like that day suddenly appeared in the early morning, without warning...

At that time, Shi Fang thought to himself, the young man always blamed him.

Blame him for resolutely leaving the palace to practice in the past, blame him for not returning after leaving for several years.

but……

When the boy saw him today, he didn't show any resentment at all.

Such calm and gentleness made Shi Fang feel a little uneasy.

He wasn't sure if the crown prince really let go of all that, or... something else.

"Your Highness..." Shi Fang tried to speak.

"Why is brother suddenly willing to go back to the palace?" The prince asked Shifang instead of asking.

"I... want to come back and have a look." Shi Fang said.

The prince paused, and said: "It's a pity that Gu has not achieved anything yet, brother must be very disappointed."

"How could it be? You have always had a strong temper, and you must do your best in everything. I never worried that you would not be a good crown prince, but..." I'm afraid that his stubborn temper will become withdrawn and cold in the long run.But Shi Fang didn't say these words, instead he said: "To see you like this today, and to hear the palace people say that you are tolerant, I am very happy."

There was a complicated expression on the prince's face, and the hand hanging by his side was slightly squeezed for a moment, but he let go immediately.

Then he smiled at Shifang calmly, with the joy and satisfaction of being praised.

There were a few palace people passing by on the side of the road. When they saw the prince and Shifang passing by, they stood beside them with their heads down and waited.

One of the brave ones took the opportunity to secretly look up for a moment, just in time to see the prince's smile, and was immediately stunned.

You must know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been cold and indifferent, and there is a chill in those eyes all day long, which makes people feel uneasy even if they take a second look.But the prince's smile just now seemed to cover up the stinging edges and corners of his whole body, and the corners of his eyes and brows were filled with a heart-pounding youthful air.

The palace man didn't come back to his senses for a long time, almost thinking that he was dazzled.

"I just saw His Highness smiled." After the prince and Shi Fang walked away, the palace man said to another palace lady beside him.

"You must have read it wrong, how could His Highness the Crown Prince laugh?" the court lady said with a look of disbelief.

"I really saw it." Nagong Ren said.

"Stop dreaming!" The other party didn't want to hear the Arabian Nights at all, so he walked away.

The palace man raised his head to look at the sky with a puzzled expression, and thought to himself, did he really see it wrong?

Shifang was taken by the prince to the residence of the empress, and greeted the emperor and empress.

When he was young, he was adopted by the two as a adopted son and raised in the palace, and he still had a close relationship with the empress.

Males and males in the Dayan Kingdom can marry, and after one of their kingdoms, there is a man, who used to be a quite famous general.The emperor and empress are nearly forty this year, but they are well maintained, so they still look like they are in their early thirties.One of the two is heroic and calm, the other is casual and elegant, and they seem to be a perfect match.

"Knowing that you have to rest at night, I specially asked someone to arrange the palace banquet at noon." The queen was not unfamiliar with Shi Fang at all, stretched out her hand to pinch Shi Fang's arm, and then said: "Too thin, why don't you return this time?" The palace will make up for it."

Shi Fang cupped his hands towards the Queen and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."

"In the past, they were all called Empress Father, but now they are more polite." The Empress sighed half-truthfully.

Shifang smiled lightly when he heard the words, but did not explain.

"How long do you plan to stay in the palace this time?" The emperor beside him asked.

As soon as the emperor said this, the prince next to him subconsciously turned his head to look at Shifang, as if he was very concerned about the answer.

Shifang also subconsciously glanced at the prince when he heard the words. He returned to the palace this time to say goodbye to all his old friends, but the most important thing was to confess to the prince.After all, all this incident was caused by that dream. In the dream, the prince left home without saying hello because he was annoyed. Not only did he vomit blood in anger, but he also destroyed Qingyin Temple.

Although this is just a dream, it is undeniable that it also reminds Shifang in a sense that he should try his best to untie the knot with the prince this time, otherwise he will not be free from worries even if he becomes a monk .

But now that the two have been separated for too long, Shi Fang couldn't figure out the prince's temperament for a while.

Thinking of this, he said, "Three to five days."

The prince frowned upon hearing this, but did not speak.

It was the queen who said, "So anxious?"

"Five or six days is also possible." Shi Fang said again.

The queen is a very casual person and knows Shifang very well, so she didn't want to embarrass him, so she said, "It's all good, you can come and go whenever you want, don't be too rigid. The residence has been cleaned up, it is quiet and elegant, and it is cool in summer, how about you live there?"

Shi Fang was about to answer, but the prince on the side said, "The lonely side hall has just been cleaned, if you don't mind..."

After finishing speaking, the prince turned his head to look at Shifang, with some questioning and anticipation in his eyes.

Shifang didn't expect the crown prince to suddenly ask him to live in the East Palace, so he couldn't help being a little stunned.But he changed his mind, if he wanted to untie the knot with the prince, he would naturally have to get closer to the prince, so he nodded and said: "That's fine, I just want to talk to His Highness."

As soon as Shifang finished speaking, a smile appeared on the corner of the prince's mouth.

The two emperors and queens at the side caught a glimpse of the prince's expression and looked at each other at the same time. Obviously, they were also a little surprised by the prince's move.

But since Shifang agreed, they didn't say anything more.

Then Shifang went to take a bath, changed his clothes, and was taken to the palace banquet.

As soon as he entered the hall, a boy of twelve or thirteen rushed forward and hugged him.

"Brother, I miss you so much." The young man looked up at Shi Fang with a happy expression on his face.

Shi Fang lowered his head and smiled at the other party, and said, "Third Highness."

"I wanted to pick you up at the gate of the palace today, but the second brother refused, he..." Before the third prince could finish his sentence, he felt a chill behind him, and subconsciously held back the words.

"Third brother, brother is tired from traveling today, don't let him stand here and talk." The prince said.

The third prince nodded hurriedly when he heard the words, and stretched out his hand to pull Shifang, but seeing the prince's gaze, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, so he held back, obediently walked to his seat and sat down.

Before the palace banquet started, the two princesses in the palace also came over to greet each other with Shifang one by one.

After exchanging pleasantries, Shi Fang walked to his seat and sat down.

In this way, the crown prince is on his right and the third prince is on his left.

The empress thought that he was a vegetarian, so today's palace banquet was all vegetarian, and Shi Fang was quite moved.

"Brother, did you eat well in Qingyin Temple? I saw that you have lost a lot of weight this time." The third prince sat next to Shifang, his words were very concerned.

Shi Fang smiled when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, don't worry."

"I'm not worried, it's just that my brother is so thin, I feel very distressed." The third prince said while helping Shifang to pick up vegetables.

The third prince was only twelve or thirteen years old, but he looked after him like a grown-up.Shifang remembered that he was easy to get along with when he was young, and his temperament was completely different from that of the prince.But fortunately, His Royal Highness seems to have a good temperament now...

"Your Highness, why don't you eat?" Shi Fang turned his head to look at the prince, and saw that the prince's complexion didn't look very good.

The prince forced a smile, and said, "I... have no appetite."

"Second brother is not feeling well, do you want to take a rest?" The third prince came over and asked.

The prince glanced at the other party quickly, but then he recovered his smile and said, "I just want to be with my brother."

"Your Highness, let's eat some food." Shi Fang brought some food for the prince, and said with apologetic expression, "Your Majesty and His Highness the Empress asked you to eat vegetarian meals to accommodate me. It's really embarrassing for you."

The prince was startled when he heard the words, and there was a momentary uncomfortable expression on his face.

"It's true, the second brother doesn't like to be vegetarian. If you live in his dormitory, elder brother, it will be somewhat inconvenient." The third prince said: "Why don't you live in my dormitory, my side hall is also very spacious, and There are many scriptures, and the most important thing is that I also like to be vegetarian."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "bang", and the sound of a porcelain cup breaking came from the prince.

Shi Fang turned his head nervously to look, and saw that the teacup on the prince's table was broken for some reason, and the prince tucked his hand into his sleeve to cover it, his face looked a little pale.

"Let me see the hand." Shi Fang stretched out his hand to hold the prince's wrist, and saw that the index finger of the other party was cut by a piece of porcelain cup, and blood flowed all over his hand.Shifang frowned, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

The prince raised his eyes to look in all directions, and said in a soft voice, "It hurts..."
