Prince Yanjun leisurely poured tea for Chu Yu, "Try it, though it’s nothing compared to the Snow Lotus tea from Nanjiang!"
It lacked that fragrance and that sense of tranquility.
In fact, he was quite fond of Yun Jinnian.
Gentle in nature, uncompetitive, kind-hearted; he was more than suitable to be his cousin.
"You’re the most at ease!" Chu Yu took the cup of tea, sipped it, and praised, "Not bad at all, top-grade Xuefeng Maojian!"
"Aren’t you carefree and unrestrained yourself?" Prince Yanjun said as he picked up his tea and took a delicate sip.
Gazing at Chu Yu with a gentle look.
As for this cousin, he had never really understood him.
During his time in Nanjiang, his demeanor seemed more normal, smiling all day long, with gentle eyes.
His behavior was completely different from the carefree and frivolous ways he exhibited in the Capital City.
Back in the Capital City, it seemed he was hands-off, not caring for anything; but he often went out to have fun. Was it really just for fun though?
"I’m not as free-spirited as you, cousin. But cousin, hasn’t your aunt been urging you to get married?"
Prince Yanjun shook his head slightly.
Indeed, she had urged him at first, but considering his health, she eventually let him be.
"Actually, I’ve come today because I need your help with something!"
"The issue is thus: Princess Jinfeng gave birth to a child outside, and now that child is being taken care of at Jinnian’s place. Jinnian is returning to the Yun Family and cannot bring the child back with her. I’m constantly under surveillance at my place, could you help take care of the child for the time being?"
Prince Yanjun was momentarily surprised.
But considering Princess Jinfeng’s personality, it was understandable.
"Ayu, by this age, I still don’t have any children by my side. I’ve thought about adopting one from my other brothers, but I’ve never made up my mind. If that child comes to live with me, he can only stay by my side forever, and never return to Jinfeng. You must think it through!"
Prince Yanjun continued, "Rest assured, I will treat him as my own and ensure he suffers no injustice. I will not let him become a profligate. The position of Prince Yanjun will be for him, even if I have my own children, which of course, I will not!"
There were some things Yun Jinnian hadn’t made clear, but he knew his own body well enough.
Moreover, if it wasn’t her, he had no desire to marry.
"Take your time to think about it!"
He did need to think it over carefully since that was Jinfeng’s first child.
It was intended for Yun Jinnian to take care of, but now that she was returning to the Yun Family, she couldn’t take the child with her.
With the Emperor keeping close watch over his Prince Rui Residence, taking the child back there wasn’t appropriate.
To keep the child outside, care would always be lacking.
After a long while, Chu Yu finally said, "Then, let him be sent over to you!"
Prince Yanjun smiled.
He poured Chu Yu another cup of tea.
Chu Yu drank the tea and after a while said, "I should be going back now. The child, I will bring him over tonight!"
Chu Yu left the Princess Residence and returned to Prince Rui Residence.
"Has Qu Mianke left?"
Chen, the butler, immediately approached, "Yes, he has left. Guard Commander Luoyi personally saw him off!"
"Tear down the courtyard where she stayed, throw away her things, and get rid of those who served her...!" Chu Yu paused mid-sentence, "No, don’t sell them yet, send them to the other residence instead!"
Chen could not help but chuckle, "Prince, there really is no need for that. We can simply store the items, clean and repaint the rooms, and everything will be as usual. Besides, aren’t you about to get married, Prince? It’s not appropriate to stir up so much dust!"
