"I really don't know what to say... In these years, I have never been by your side for a day. I don't know how you grew up, and I don't know your likes and dislikes."
"It doesn't matter, as time goes by, you will eventually know——"
Listening to the young man's objective and calm words, without any sense of resentment, King Yan smiled and nodded.
yes.
This is indeed true.
Fortunately, there is still a long way to go.
However, when he said this, he actually wanted to express another meaning.
What he wanted to express was an apology.
"A Yuan." Looking at the young man sitting there, King Yan had a bitter smile and guilt in his deep eyes: "...I can't help you. I owe you too much for so long."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to think so, and there is no need to feel guilty about it." Wu Chao said: "With the overall situation in danger, it is really wise for Your Majesty to do this. Besides, everything has been fine for me in the Wu family these years."
After a pause, he said: "On the contrary, it's the prince who has a lot of difficulties in the North."
I have a guess in my mind but cannot verify it.
If you have suspicions about past events, do not reveal them.
If you didn't keep everything in mind, how could you suffer from heart disease?
After an incident like that happened, it is remarkable that we can still reach this day and still be able to defend the northern border of Daqing like an iron wall. Any other person would have been worn down by these experiences.
And if we want to talk about it, as the son of King Yan, he is not an outsider, but in these years, he has undoubtedly been placed outside these hardships and storms.
This is the protection given to him by King Yan and the Wu family.
Therefore, he is the one who should least complain, and he has nothing to complain about.
Listening to these words, King Yan's eyes felt a little sour for no reason.
But there was always a smile in his eyes: "I should thank the Wu family for raising you so well——"
Although they haven't talked about anything in depth yet, from just this short period of getting along, he can see that this child is very broad-minded, has a rational heart, and does not lack the kindness to empathize with others.
These are things we are born with, but they must be nurtured carefully.
Wu Chao does not think that he may not be that good, but there is one thing that he must admit——
"Ever since I was little, the Wu family has treated me with all their heart and soul, without reservation."
Even though they concealed his life experience from him, the Wu family's devotion to him was undeniable.
King Yan nodded and said: "Your grandfather is a great person, and he always thinks long-term. It was only after I met you that I truly understood why he wanted you to grow up as a grandson of the Wu family...
"
With the ability of the Wu family, they could have hidden A Yuan completely and protected him secretly.
However, children who grow up in hiding, no matter how talented they are, will have their vision limited due to their own experiences and the surrounding environment, which may even be detrimental to the development of their temperament.
And now, the person sitting in front of him is a child who is educated, knowledgeable, and broad-minded, and has his own clear and rational understanding and judgment of all people and things.
Such a child must have a strong and solid will as support in his heart, so he will not blindly follow others and will not be easily shaken when encountering difficulties.
Thinking of this, King Yan's eyes also brightened, and he blurted out a rather gratifying sentence: "You kid, you are much better than me."
Wu Chao couldn't help but be a little confused.
He didn't seem to have done anything, so why did the prince definitely appreciate it?
But when I thought about his answer just now that he likes to eat a lot of things, and the other person said "very good" very appreciatively, I finally understood...
This is probably a sign of being carried away by the illusion that "everything you own is the best".
Seeing the slightly strange expression on the young man's face, King Yan came back to his senses, coughed slightly, and said: "After staying in the North for a long time, my words will inevitably become vulgar. If you don't get used to it, I will change it in the future.
"
He didn't want to be rejected by his son as soon as they met.
However, I heard the young man say: "It is customary for people to eat all kinds of grains. It is both vulgar and elegant. The prince can do whatever he wants."
When King Yan heard this, the smile in his eyes became even stronger, and the dull pain in his heart seemed to have completely dissipated at this moment, feeling unprecedentedly relaxed.
When you are in a good mood, people will inevitably become more casual.
At this casual moment, he couldn't help but asked tentatively: "By the way, that Miss Xu just now... I think you treat her a little bit differently?"
"Yes." The young man looked calm, without any dodge or hesitation: "Miss Xu is my sweetheart and the person I want to marry in the future."
This point, no matter what his identity is, will not change at all.
Hearing these straightforward words, King Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Ordinarily, children from aristocratic families should be relatively tactful and reserved? Why is this boy so much more direct than he was back then?
So, not only did he find his son tonight, but he also found his daughter-in-law?
And this girl is the granddaughter of General Xu’s family...
After King Yan came to his senses for a while, he finally realized that this was a double happiness!
However, since they all talked about marrying someone else, could it be said: "Your grandfather and General Xu have already agreed on this matter?"
Wu Chao said truthfully: "My grandfather does not agree, and General Xu has not nodded yet."
King Yan couldn't help but let out an "ouch" in his heart - the two characters were written together without even a single stroke!
He really thought he would be able to drink tea with his daughter-in-law soon.
However, logically speaking, there is indeed resistance to this matter.
After all, regardless of the overall situation, the love-hate relationship between the two old men is already troublesome enough.
But there is one thing that we need to ask clearly first -
"Does this girl mean this to you?"
In the final analysis, this is the most important thing. If you feel overwhelmed by the burden of shaving your hair, you'd better wake up as soon as possible.
Wu Chao coughed lightly: "There should be."
After all, he was called Zhaozhao.
Hearing the word "should", King Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried - you must know that among the three major illusions in life, one of them is "this girl likes me".
But since the child has said so, it's hard for him to question it.
If you think about it carefully, the little girl is willing to hide in the same cupboard with this boy, and it doesn't seem like she dislikes his boy...
Even if you don't have the intention, there may still be hope if you work hard.
After thinking about it like this, King Yan solemnly nodded his head, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I've taken care of this matter. Your grandfather and General Xu will let me come up with ideas for you!"
Wu Chao was stunned for a moment.
Can having multiple dads bring such unexpected benefits?
The young man suddenly felt that he had another way to find a wife.
Looking at the young man, King Yan said with a smile: "When you live in this world, you have to live it with the person you really like."
