"No, the king was not present at the time. Lan'er insisted on talking to the late emperor himself."
Therefore, Chu Lingyang actually didn't know what Lan Ji had said to his father back then.
"Didn't the prince ask the princess afterward?" Chu Qianli asked again.
Chu Lingyang smiled and said: "Of course I asked, but Lan'er said that it was a secret between her and her father. Anyway, my father agreed after seeing Lan'er. I was happy, so what else are you asking?
"
Chu Qianli just smiled and said no more.
Chu Lingyang didn't seem to want to talk about this topic anymore. After all, it was a matter between husband and wife.
Now he is considered half an old man, nearly forty years old. When he talks about these things about the love between children, he is afraid of being laughed at by his juniors as being old and disrespectful.
Of course, he came to see Chu Qianli, firstly because the fourth emperor brother woke up and felt happy, and secondly, he actually wanted to inquire about something.
"Little Li'er."
Chu Lingyang poured a glass of wine for Chu Qianli, "Speaking of which, we have the same surname, so maybe we were relatives before."
"The prince is joking. You are from the Chu family of Nanming. How can I be related to your royal family?"
"There are no absolutes in this world."
However, Chu Lingyang was just looking for an opening statement. He was not really obsessed with these kinship relationships.
"Well, Xiao Li'er," Chu Lingyang hesitated for a moment, and finally got to the point: "You think...do I still have a chance to see that guy?"
How could Chu Qianli not see that he had always wanted to ask about Uncle Jiu, but he didn't dare to ask.
"I really don't know. You should know his temper."
Seeing a flash of disappointment flashing across Chu Lingyang's eyes and a sense of loss all over his body, Chu Qianli couldn't bear it.
"Didn't the prince say it? There are no absolutes in the world, so it may not be impossible."
"Is it really possible?" Chu Lingyang lowered his head and suddenly raised it again, staring closely at her palm-sized face.
"Xiao Li'er, you said I could see him, right?"
"..." Chu Qianli was speechless. Can her words be understood this way?
"Well, I really can't tell. I don't know where he is."
Chu Lingyang didn't say anything more. He felt very complicated and started pouring himself wine again.
After drinking, he simply picked up the entire wine jar and drank it down.
"Is the prince in a bad mood?"
"Yeah." Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. Maybe I've been disappointed for so long that I've long forgotten what hope feels like.
In the blink of an eye, he drank up the entire jar of wine.
Including the gifted one, he has already drank three jars.
It's all hard liquor.
At this time, his eyes began to look a little drunk again.
"Little Li, do you know? For more than ten years, no one is willing to drink with me."
"Your Majesty is a soldier, so it's best to drink less alcohol."
After all, marching and fighting are not child's play. There is no alcohol in the army, so the soldiers can have a clear mind.
"But now I'm just an idler in the Imperial City. When I'm not fighting, I'm just a redundant person."
Chu Lingyang probably didn't know what he said, so he muttered. After drinking another half of the bottle, he started to feel a little confused.
"Why can't that guy come and see me? Am I such a person who can't keep secrets? I can keep secrets for him too!"
"Uncle Jiu... Ah Chu has a secret that you want you to keep?"
Chu Qianli is really not nosy. In fact, she really cares about Uncle Jiu's affairs.
