Chapter 482 They are all younger brothers
When Zhou Chang entered the bedroom, Yuan Qi had already changed his clothes. He looked pale, but he forced himself to greet him: "Why is the prince here?"
"What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Zhou Chang could clearly see that Yuan Qi was in a low mood.
When he left the house in the morning, he was smiling and full of energy, but how come he became like this after coming back?
"Nothing." Yuan Qi asked Zhou Chang to sit down next to the chaise longue.
Zhou Chang was really worried. He couldn't help but stare at Yuan Qi's face and asked, "You look very bad. Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?"
"Your Highness, don't worry. I think you are a little tired." Yuan Qi took the teapot and teacup personally and poured a cup of tea for Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang felt something was wrong: "Didn't I tell you to stay at your parents' house when I left this morning? Why are you back so soon?"
Yuan Qi Qiuhong's sparkling eyes were cold and calm, and she avoided answering Zhou Chang's question: "Your Highness, have you seen those fruits? They were brought back by my father on a speedboat from the south. Your Highness can pick some that you like to eat. Most of them are quite sweet, and they are also valuable because they are fresh."
As soon as Zhou Chang came in, he smelled a fruity fragrance in the bedroom, and said, "Not yet, but the grapes and jackfruits here smell good."
"Jackfruit?" Yuan Qi obviously had never heard of this name, but he immediately realized, "Is the prince talking about 'loquat honey'?"
"Ah, yes..." Zhou Chang also realized after he said this that the names of fruits may be different in ancient times and today.
"It turns out that Jindu already has this kind of thing. I thought it was a new thing. It was only introduced from Xifan two years ago and has just started to be planted along the coast." Yuan Qi muttered a few words, leaning on the chaise longue but looking a little absent-minded.
Zhou Chang didn't know where the jackfruit grew, but he just wanted to make something to say: "By the way, how is the old man? How is Yuanjie? Is your study going well recently?"
"Father is in good health. He came back to rest for a while and plans to go back to Beiji City." Yuan Qi just asked and answered, and seemed unwilling to talk more.
"Oh..." Zhou Chang couldn't figure out what was going on. He also felt that Yuan Qi was always listless and couldn't figure out the reason, so he had to ask, "You are menstruating, so you feel uncomfortable?"
"How can Your Majesty speak so directly about such things?" Yuan Qi smiled faintly but did not answer.
Zhou Chang didn't think anything of it. Seeing Yuan Qi turned her head away with a flush on her cheeks, he just took it as her agreement: "If that's the case, you should have a good rest."
"If Your Majesty has something else to do, I won't accompany you. I am indeed a little tired today." It was almost time for dinner, but Yuan Qi obviously sent someone away.
Zhou Chang thought it was just a symptom of PMS, but it was definitely understandable, so he stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go back and wait for the fruit to be washed and eaten, and you should have a good rest."
"Okay, take care, Your Highness." Yuan Qi also stood up to see him off.
"No need, just take a rest." Zhou Chang stepped aside and turned to leave.
Just as he reached the screen, Yuan Qi suddenly remembered something: "Oh, my Lord..."
"You say." Zhou Chang turned around immediately. He had originally planned to stay and have a free meal.
Yuan Qi asked, "Tomorrow is the birthday of the twelfth prince Feng Suo, do you remember?"
"Ah...?" Zhou Chang certainly didn't remember it at all, but once reminded, he had to remember, "Yes, I know... I was planning to go to the palace to see him tomorrow and give him a gift."
Yuan Qi was still leaning on the chaise longue without moving. He didn't know what he was thinking of. He said casually, "That's good. Your Highness the Twelfth Prince hasn't seen the Prince for many days. He still misses you very much."
Zhou Chang was surprised: "How do you know what Yuan Jie said today?"
Yuan Qi forced a smile and said, "Today, because he knew I would be back, Yuan Jie specially brought the twelfth prince Feng Shuo to the mansion to play, so we met."
"Oh? Concubine Qin actually allowed Feng Suo to leave the palace? I guess he must be very excited?" Zhou Chang was surprised.
Normally, Feng Suo is not yet an adult and cannot leave the palace at will. Even if he does, he can only be accompanied by a special person. It is rare that he can be allowed to enter and leave the mansion of his study companion without worry.
"Yes, maybe because the twelfth prince and Yuan Jie can play together, Concubine Qin is relieved, so she allowed him to come to the Yuan Mansion." Yuan Qi stood up from the chaise longue while speaking, "They are happy, and my father is also very happy, especially knowing that Yuan Jie has made great progress in his studies. All of this is thanks to Your Highness."
After saying this, Yuan Qi bowed solemnly to Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang was embarrassed: "Why are you talking about this again?"
Yuan Qi didn't say anything else, just looked at Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang felt even more uncomfortable being stared at, and didn't know what else to say: "You should have a good rest. I...I'll go back to the study."
Yuan Qi didn't move or express anything, but nodded again.
Zhou Chang had no choice but to turn around again, leave the inner room, leave the bedroom, and go back to the study.
This trip was quite confusing.
The skinny monkey followed him out and asked, "My Lord, what's wrong with the princess? Why isn't she having dinner?"
Zhou Chang was still confused and even more annoyed: "I don't know, maybe he feels uncomfortable and doesn't want to eat."
The skinny monkey swallowed his saliva, and then saw Duofu and Duobao coming with two large plates of fruit: "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. I have some fruit, which is enough for tonight."
Zhou Chang was upset and took a few steps into the study yard.
When Duofu and Duobao brought in the southern fruits, she still had no interest at all: "Monkey, what do you think we should give Feng Suo for his birthday tomorrow?"
"Ah?" The skinny monkey just stared at the fruit plate and couldn't think of anything else.
"Then tell me, is there anything different about Yuan Qi today compared to the past?" Zhou Chang asked again.
The thin monkey only looked at the fruit plate: "I haven't even seen the face, how do I know?"
"Then, how did Yuan Qi know that tomorrow is Feng Suo's birthday?" Zhou Chang had no appetite at all, and his brain was not working.
The skinny monkey wiped the saliva that was about to flow out and said: "Needless to say, it must be Yuanjie who said it."
"Alas, they are all my younger brothers and I have to take care of them all." Zhou Chang felt scared when he thought about entering the palace tomorrow. He must not run into anyone from the Jianing Palace then.
The thin monkey seemed to have not heard what Zhou Chang said at all: "My Lord, do you want me to inform Madam Wang to prepare dinner?"
"No need," Zhou Chang finally pushed the fruit plate in front of the skinny monkey, "If you want to eat these fruits, feel free to take them."
"Okay." The skinny monkey was delighted.
Zhou Chang shook his head in his heart: "Oh, don't just focus on eating, help me think about what gift to prepare for Feng Shuo tomorrow. I don't have the money for something too expensive, but I have to buy something too cheap."
"Woo woo..." The skinny monkey stuffed his mouth with honeydew melon and agreed with his stomach rather than his heart.
