Chapter 296 - Brother Jiu Shows His Affection

The water rippled. The pleasure boat swayed for most of the night. It was almost dawn when the commotion stopped.

Yu Wan fell into a deep sleep. She woke up in a daze halfway, as if she had combed Yan Jiuchao’s hair. She was too tired, so she fell asleep again. This sleep lasted until afternoon.

Zi Su also stayed at the pleasure boat for the night. She was arranged to stay in the easternmost room. She did not dare to disturb Yu Wan and could only wait obediently on the pleasure boat. However, it was too boring to stay in the room, so she went to the deck to take a walk.

The lotus lamp from last night had already gone with the flow, but the shocking scene was still lingering in Zi Su’s mind. She naturally knew that everything was arranged by the Young Master. Young Madam came from a humble background, so it was really her fortune to be doted on by Young Master. She did not know if she could meet a good person who treated her well in her life.

“Miss Zi Su.”

Shadow Six walked over with the fishing gear.

Zi Su bowed to him and looked at the fishing rod and wooden bucket in his hand. “Are you going fishing?”

Shadow Six said readily, “That’s right. The carp in Lake Li is fat. I’ll catch a few and roast them later.”

Zi Su blinked.

“Do you want to fish too?” Shadow Six saw that she was staring fixedly at the fishing rod.

“I… don’t know how,” Zi Su said truthfully.

“It’s very simple. Just throw it down the water. Here!” Shadow Six handed her the fishing rod in his hand and went to the storeroom to get another fishing rod. He put on the bait and threw it into the water.

The pleasure boat docked on the shore. The lake was not windy and the waves were small. It was indeed suitable for fishing.

Shadow Six wanted to fish, and Shadow Thirteen went to the shore to dig for bait. After digging, he saw that Shadow Six had already started fishing, and it was with a woman he had only known for a few days!

Zi Su turned around. “Shadow Guard.”

The Shadow Guard was so handsome, but why was his gaze a little scary…

Yu Wan finally woke up. When she woke up, she felt that her arms and legs were no longer hers. Did she secretly plant ten acres of land at night? Why was she so sore?

“Aiya, Young Madam is awake.” Zi Su heard the commotion in the room, put down her fishing rod, and walked away.

Shadow Six waved at Shadow Thirteen. “Shadow Thirteen, you fish!”

Shadow Thirteen: “Childish!”

Zi Su entered the room. After such a big commotion last night, Zi Su thought that she would see a mess when she came in. Unexpectedly, it seemed like it had been cleaned up. She did not see anything that would embarrass Yu Wan at all. Yu Wan even put on her clothes. Indeed, it was not the same set as yesterday.

Of course, after such commotion, it wouldn’t be hers.

Young Master is so considerate,?Zi Su thought.

Zi Su helped Yu Wan wash up.

“Where’s your Young Master?” Yu Wan asked, but she was shocked by her hoarse voice. Then, she remembered the reason for her hoarse voice and her face turned red.

Zi Su pretended not to see it and lowered her eyes to answer, “Young Master went to court.”

Yu Wan widened her almond-shaped eyes. “He still have the strength to attend court?”

Not to mention Yu Wan, even Zi Su’s face turned red. The two of them had been fooling around for the entire night. Who knew how Young Master could still be so energetic?

Yan Jiuchao went to court in high spirits. He was wearing the shoes that Yu Wan had personally sewn. He was seven feet tall and exuded a seventy-foot aura.

It was not that Yan Jiuchao had come uninvited. In fact, the Emperor had gotten someone to bring him news. He said that the Ministry of Rites had drafted a list of people to welcome the bride. He was also on it. He was the prince of the royal family and Prince Cheng’s cousin. Logically speaking, he was naturally on the list. The Emperor was only going through the motions and did not expect this kid to agree. Moreover, even if he agreed, he did not have to personally come to the throne room. He could just get someone to reply to the palace.

The Emperor did not expect him to come to the throne room.

The Minister of Rites was reading the list of guests when he was suddenly interrupted by a voice behind him. “Aiya, it seems like I’m late.”

What do you mean by you’re late? The sun is already shining on your butt. Don’t you feel it?

The Minister of Rites’ voice stopped abruptly. He turned around with everyone and saw the troublesome Young Master Yan in high spirits, as if he was stepping on colorful clouds.

Everyone’s eyes were almost blinded. It was fine if you were short, but you are so tall. Yet, you’re even wearing high shoes and have a towering braid. The door of the throne room was not even tall enough for you to walk!

“Ahem!” The Emperor choked.

The Minister of Rites, who was interrupted again: “…” Why was it always him? Couldn’t it be someone else?!

Yan Jiuchao came to the side of the Minister of Rites and smiled friendly at him. Then, he cupped his hands and bowed to the Emperor. They were really not used to this obedient and sensible appearance, but perhaps it was because he was married that he had become sensible? He no longer played tricks?

As it turned out, the Emperor was still too naive.

Yan Jiuchao turned around and looked at the group of ministers. He sighed and said, “I’m late, but everyone here is married. You should understand why I’m late, right?”

The corners of everyone’s mouths twitched.?Was that what you wanted to tell us when you came late?

“Ah, that’s true,” Yan Jiuchao said in realization. “After being married for so many years, everyone and the madams have long respected each other. I’m different. I also want to attend court on time. As for why I can’t, I’ve already said it just now.”

The ministers were speechless.?You really can stop! We all know!

The Emperor covered his eyes. He couldn’t stand it anymore.

Yan Jiuchao looked at the Minister of Rites. “Minister Li’s hair is combed well. Did your wife help you?”

The Minister of Rites said with a fake smile, “The servant combed it. My wife… is not as skilled as Young Madam Yan.”

This was a flattery. He had never seen Yu Wan before, so how could he know whether she was skilled or not?

Yan Jiuchao stared at his hair and raised his eyebrows. “Oh, I can tell.”

Minister Li, who had been forcefully fed a wave of sweetness: “…!!”

If everyone thought that his tricks were just to show off his newlywed status and Yu Wan’s “sky-high braid”, they would be too naive.

Yan Jiuchao sighed helplessly. “Sigh, I also know that it’s my fault for being late. I specially prepared a small gift for everyone as an apology.”

You have time to prepare gifts, but you don’t have time to come to court earlier? What f*cking logic is this?! But then again, Yan City was as rich as a country. The gift Young Master Yan gave should be quite valuable, right??Everyone couldn’t help but look forward to it as they complained.

Yan Jiuchao gestured to the outside of the throne room. Soon, two guards from the Young Master Manor walked in with two golden baskets that emitted a rich aura. The baskets were covered with a big red cloth.

Even the basket was made of gold, then the treasures inside…

Everyone’s eyes turned green. Suddenly, the guard removed the red cloth, revealing the contents of the basket.

Uh… Where was the valuable treasure? Why was it a basket of red eggs?! Who-who cares about a few eggs?!

Yan Jiuchao smiled and said, “Good things come in pairs. Two each.”

And only two!

The guard began to distribute the eggs seriously.

The ministers looked at the red eggs in their hands and the corners of their mouths twitched so much that they were about to have a stroke.

They had only heard that there were people who gave red eggs after giving birth. No one was rushing to send the red eggs out and even sent them to the throne room when he had gotten married and just consummated! Wasn’t this too crazy?!

After the guards finished distributing the ministers, there were still two in the basket.

“Oh, just nice.” Yan Jiuchao took the last pair of red eggs and strode up the steps to the Emperor. “Your eggs, Your Majesty.”

The Emperor looked at the two extra red eggs on his dragon robe. “…”

“Second, Second Prince!” The guard reminded Yan Jiuchao softly. There was still the Second Prince.

Yan Jiuchao turned around and said, “Doesn’t the Second Prince have any eggs? Not a single one?”

The guard replied, “No, the Second Prince doesn’t have eggs!” In Chinese, eggs could be said as a man’s balls.

Pfft—

Minister Li spat.

Yan Huaijing’s face darkened.

… .

Yu Wan still did not know that her husband had worked so hard to get up and go to the throne room to give out red eggs. She thought that he had something serious to do and could not help but feel sorry for him. The poison curse that had been around for so many years could not be resolved overnight. Even if it was resolved, his body would definitely be weak. He had to carefully recuperate. Why did he go to court so quickly?

Yu Wan sighed faintly. “Sigh, why do you think your Young Master has to suffer so much ? He didn’t sleep all night and yet, he forced himself to get up. He must be exhausted and can’t even walk.”

Zi Su: “…”

Are we really talking about the same Young Master?

Yu Wan asked Jiang Hai to prepare a carriage to return to the manor after lunch at the pleasure boat. When she passed by a teahouse, Yu Wan saw fresh cherry crisps and personally alighted to choose a box. Just as she was about to get into the carriage, she saw a carriage stop in front of her.
