After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine

Chapter 198

“I’m not in a hurry,” he said. “What’s the panic? Let me play for another two years.”

Huo Yuyan persuaded him kindly, “Won’t it be delayed…”

“How is it delayed?” Huo Wujiu raised his eyes, and the smile at the corner of his mouth transmitted a wicked luster. “You have no idea how much trouble that little thing can cause. I’m afraid my backyard will not be peaceful after I marry a respectable woman. I’m not in a hurry. Wait for some time until I get tired of playing. By then, it won’t be too late to discuss this. In any case, there’s no use for me to carry on the family line. Elder Brother, you’d better marry a princess consort first. That’s the foundation of the state.”

Hearing this, Huo Yuyan lowered his gaze, his eyes flashing inexplicably. He replied with a smile, “It’s not like you don’t know my body’s condition… But it’s all right. Whether you or Shu’er, for me, your children are all the same as my own.”

The Shu’er he was referring to was his biological sister Huo Shu. She was also Huo Wujiu’s cousin, who just entered Ye City some years ago and got married early. Now, she has several children.

Huo Wujiu raised his eyes and surveyed Huo Yuyan. He appeared calm and quiet, and the words he uttered really sounded heartfelt.

Huo Wujiu smiled in response, but the words he said were totally insincere.

“It’s good if Elder Brother can think of it this way,” he said.

Lou Wanjun drank a little too much.

In fact, she was sitting around some officers. After working with them these days, they didn’t treat her as an outsider. They gathered together, and once drunk, they eagerly addressed each other as brothers. They downed one cup after another without any control.

Lou Wanjun was enjoying himself, but Lou Yue was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at her.

“You’re someone’s daughter, and fine for you to mingle with men. But how could you drink to this extent?” He approached and scolded her.

Lou Wanjun, however, did not take him seriously. Her father trained her since she was a child, and her foundation had long been solid. Seeing that Lou Yue was angry, she got up carelessly, raised her hand towards the generals who were drinking together with her and said, “I’m fine. I didn’t drink much. Let me go out and sober up.”

After saying that, she turned around and strode out.

Lou Yue knew that this was her usual trick. Knowing that he was going to admonish her, she found an excuse to hide. Lou Yue, however, could do nothing about it. He raised a finger and pointed at the generals, warned them a few times, and then went back to his seat.

Lou Wanjun was quite skilled in hiding.

The night in the palace was cool, plus there was a large lotus pond outside the banquet hall. At this moment, the night breeze was blowing, and the flowers and leaves that filled the pond were swaying. The moist fragrance of the lotus flowers also blew on her face.

It felt pleasant.

Lou Wanjun let the wind blow comfortably, slipped and went to the lake. Palace lanterns were hung by the lake at night. They were so delicate, captivating the viewers to look closely at them.

Lou Wanjun then decided to take a stroll here.

But just as she reached the lake, she heard someone call out to her from behind.

“Is it you, Younger Sister Wanjun?”

The voice was particularly familiar. Lou Wanjun quickly turned around and saw a man sitting in a pavilion by the lake. He was dressed in a snow-white robe with glittering gold threads.

She was a little surprised: “Why is Your Highness also here?”

The man coughed a few times, as if his strength couldn’t support him.

Lou Wanjun was afraid that something would happen to him, so she hurriedly went forward and saw Huo Yuyan sitting alone in the pavilion. There was no one around to wait on him, but he was coughing terribly.

Lou Wanjun strode forward, took off the outer robe she was wearing, and draped it over Huo Yuyan’s shoulders.

“Why are you here alone, without even an attendant?” Lou Wanjun asked.

Huo Yuyan raised his hand, blocking her from draping her coat.

“Put it on quickly. You’re a girl. Don’t catch a cold,” Huo Yuyan said tenderly.

Seeing that he wasn’t coughing anymore, Lou Wanjun didn’t resist him, so she snorted and put her coat back on.

“Your Highness, shall I take you back?” she asked.

Huo Yuyan shook his head: “There’s no hurry. I just came here to hide for a quiet moment and sober up.”

He silently looked at Lou Wanjun.

He wouldn’t admit that, apart from paying attention to Huo Wujiu at the banquet, he has been paying attention to Lou Wanjun’s movements. When he saw her drinking to her heart’s content, and Lou Yue frequently looking at her with displeasure all over his face, he knew that something like this would happen in a while.

He took advantage of his poor health, and came here to wait for the rabbit.

Lou Yue had been keeping a close eye on Lou Wanjun so he didn’t find a chance to be alone with her. Hence, he could only do this.

Lou Wanjun was a bit anxious: “This is not the way to sober up, right? The wind is cool at the lake, Your Highness. I think it is better for you to…”

Huo Yuyan interrupted her.

“I remember you called me Brother Huo before,” Huo Yuyan said genially.

Lou Wanjun scratched her head with some embarrassment.

But wasn’t that so? Although she and Huo Wujiu always called each other by name in private and cursed each other, she didn’t dare to commit such a blunder in front of Huo Yuyan. If she dared to show any disrespect to him, her father was the first to censure her, swinging a broom to beat her up.

She smiled and replied, “… It was also a childhood thing.”

Huo Yuyan sighed lightly.

“Right, it’s all when we were young.” He said, “Nowadays, everything has changed.”

Lou Wanjun showed some confusion and asked, “What else has changed?”

Huo Yuyan looked at her, seemingly a little hesitant to say anything.

The bright moonlight shone on his face, illuminating his delicate appearance even more cleanly, even revealing a shimmering glow. He smiled rather helplessly and shook his head, presenting a fragile beauty.

“It’s nothing. I’m just sighing over a sentiment,” he replied.

Lou Wanjun was a little puzzled.

This Elder Brother Huo… has also changed a lot. When he was a child, he was considered very efficient, but now that he had grown into a beauty, he was rather dawdling.

“Great,” she said perfunctorily with no better response she could think of.
