A life of two souls traveling through time

The next morning, when Yan Zong opened the door, he was startled by Arnold, who was grinning at him with a basin of hot water.

"Your Highness, can Arnold help you wash up?"

"It's no use showing kindness..."

"There is no traitor or thief. Arnold sincerely wants to serve Your Highness."

"You have never been so well-behaved since you were a child. Why should I trust you today?" Yan Zong snatched the basin of water from the other person's hand with an expressionless face and turned back to his room.

Yu Cheng, who had been waiting on the side, followed him into the room with a suppressed smile.

"Let me braid your hair?" Arnold followed in unwillingly, looked up at Yan Zong's scattered black hair, and blinked.

"Arnold, stop it and go play outside. His Highness's hair cannot be messed with by you." Speaking of braiding, Yu Cheng couldn't help but think of the last time Mr. Fan was tormented by this kid for most of the morning. Not only did he scream in pain, but a lot of his hair was also pulled out. From then on, no one dared to let Arnold touch their hair.

"Then I'll go prepare breakfast for His Highness!" After a moment of loss, Arnold suddenly smiled happily and turned away.

"What has he done wrong again?" Yan Zong raised his eyebrows and asked as he looked at the little figure that was about to disappear.

If someone is being so attentive and proactive, it means he has caused trouble or has something to ask for, but if someone wants something, he will usually be the first to speak.

"Not really. Could it be... that it's because I told him last night the reason why His Highness doesn't like Hu Xuan dance?" Yu Cheng frowned and looked confused.

"So, he is pitying me?" Yan Zong's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Yu Cheng behind him also widened his eyes in shock: Is this kid okay?

The sky was overcast and the wind was howling. Crown Prince Nan Rongyu led Yan Zong for a stroll on the city wall of the outer city.

"Please look, Your Majesty. This is the desert scenery of my Guyun Kingdom."

Following the direction Nan Rongyu pointed to the west, all you could see was the boundless desert, with distinct sand dunes and quicksand flowing like water in the wind.

“Although it’s not my first time seeing desert scenery, the vast and magnificent desert scenery stretching for thousands of miles is fascinating.”

Woohoo.....

Just as Yan Zong finished speaking, a ghost-like whistle of wind swept in with fierce sandstorms. Fortunately, the attendant guards reacted quickly and put up the sand-proof umbrellas prepared in advance to temporarily serve as a barrier to block the wind and sand.

"I'm afraid you'll have to eat sand every day if you live here. What's so fascinating about it? It's not as good as my Xiyue Country." Arnold patted the yellow sand that fell on his trouser legs and muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Ahem, the wind and sand are too strong today. Your Majesty's health is the most important thing. Why don't we go to the post station downstairs to rest?" Nan Rongyu coughed lightly with a little embarrassment, then turned to Yan Zong and said with a smile.

Yan Zong nodded with a cold face. He was indeed in no mood after being blown by the fierce sandstorm: I didn't expect that after fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, I would still be frightened by the sandstorm outside the Great Wall. Compared with my father who personally went out to fight in the past, I am indeed far behind.

In the post station under the city wall, the fireplaces on the east and west sides had already been lit with blazing fires, which quickly drove away the coldness in the house. Snacks and tea were also prepared early, waiting for the arrival of the distinguished guests.

Outside the hall, Princess Liang Ling, who was dressed in gorgeous attire, stared at the group of people who had arrived at the post station. Of course, her eyes were only focused on Yan Zong, who was dressed in noble and dazzling attire.

"Liang Ling greets the prince and greets my brother." When the distinguished guest approached, Princess Liang Ling lowered her head shyly, crossed her hands in front of her chest and bowed.

"Since Prince Zong's arrival, my sister has become much more sensible. It seems that it's time for her to get married." Nan Rongyu smiled meaningfully at Yan Zong.

Yan Zong simply nodded to Princess Liang Ling and walked into the house.

"Brother, you're making fun of me again!" Liang Ling glared at Nan Rongyu fiercely, turned around angrily and followed him into the house, leaving Nan Rongyu shaking his head lovingly.

"Guyun Kingdom is far away from the Great Wall, and the news is blocked. I just learned a few days ago that the old emperor of Lang Kingdom has passed away."

After enjoying the tea, the heating in the house gradually relaxed people's bodies and minds. Nan Rongyu spoke first, seemingly chatting casually, but it was like testing: "I heard that the new emperor of Lang Kingdom is not half as courageous as his father. At this time when the imperial power is changing and the foundation is unstable, I wonder..."

"I have come to Guyun Kingdom on the orders of the king, not for state affairs. As a subject, I should not presume to talk about state affairs. Prince Yu is making things difficult for me." Yan Zong put down the tea in his hand, raised his eyes and smiled faintly at Nan Rongyu opposite him, but there was an undeniable majesty in his eyes.

"Ahem, I couldn't help but talk too much when I was bored, please don't blame me, Prince Zong." Nan Rongyu bowed first, then sat up straight, placed his right hand on his left shoulder and saluted Yan Zong.

"Prince Zong, my brother has always been concerned about political affairs. When he is with me, his sister, he always talks about the major issues of the country. Fortunately, my wife can stand it." Seeing that Yan Zong did not speak, Nan Rong Liangling was afraid that her brother really offended the prince of Xiyue Country, so she hurriedly picked up the silver pot in the maid's hand and walked to Yan Zong while chatting and laughing: "Prince Zong, try it, this is the pear juice produced in abundance in Guyun Country, it is sweet and sour and delicious."

"I want to try it too..." Arnold, who was eating snacks behind Yan Zong, heard about the sweet and sour pear juice and hurriedly picked up the glass cup in front of him and shouted.

But Princess Liang Ling ignored Arnold and only signaled the maid beside her to go and serve him.

"Don't drink too much, or you'll get a stomachache when you get home." Seeing Arnold drinking one cup after another, Yu Cheng beside him couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.

"But it's really delicious!" The sour and sweet syrup is the most popular among children. Arnold still thinks it's not enough: "Your Highness, can we take some back when we leave?"

"Since Arnold likes it, I will ask my sister to prepare more." Nan Rongyu said with a smile, and asked the maid next to her to bring a pot to Arnold.

"Great, I must take it back and let Sister Yao taste it." Arnold happily took the silver pot from the maid and said to himself.

But Yan Zong heard it clearly: no conscience.

Due to the constant sandstorm and the dark sky, and the fact that Arnold had a stomachache due to drinking too much fruit juice, Yan Zong canceled the rest of the trip and returned directly to the embassy.

"Sister, are you unhappy with your relationship with the prince these past two days?" On the carriage heading to the imperial city, Nan Rongyu looked at the sadness on his sister Nan Rongliangling's face and asked worriedly.

"Happy, but not happy either." Nanrong Liangling curled her lips and sighed softly: "Although the prince is very polite to me, I always feel that in his heart I am not even as good as a little follower beside him."

"Haha, so you're unhappy because of that little follower, Arnold?"

"I am naturally unhappy that a small follower dared to order me around in public!" Thinking of the scene at the post station when the small follower following Yan Zong shouted at him for pear seed juice, Nan Rong Liang Ling suddenly became furious: "And just now, it was just a small follower who had a stomachache, but the prince was so concerned about it?"

"Sister, from what I have learned in the past two days, I know that Arnold is not an ordinary follower. He was raised by the prince since he was a child..."

"Humph, so what? He is just a servant after all. It is the prince who is too kind-hearted and indulges him."

"Alas, you haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already acting like a princess?"

"Oh brother, you're making fun of me again!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore, but I still have to remind you that you need to be more restrained when you go to Xiyue Country..."

"I know, I know. You've said it hundreds of times."

"You know we've said this hundreds of times, but did you hear a word of it?"

"Humph!"
