Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1139: Chapter 1095: The Appearance of a Married Couple

Liu Bei, holding his son with a face full of pride, stopped Chen Xi’s carriage, ”Zichuan, let me see your daughter.”

”...” Chen Xi poked his head out and saw Liu Bei holding Adou with a face full of happiness. He pursed his lips, ”She’s not as pretty as my daughter.”

”Hahaha, my son doesn’t need to be pretty.” He looked Chen Xi up and down while speaking, ”As long as he’s as full of brilliant plans as Zichuan.”

”Greetings, Lord Xuande.” Fan Jian and Chen Lan hadn’t even had the chance to salute before Liu Bei waved them off, ”No need, no need, I am not one for formalities.” He then leaned in to look at the daughter in Chen Lan’s arms, and then at Adou, and said something that nearly made Chen Xi spray out his drink.

”These two really look like a couple.” Liu Bei took a long look at his son and Chen Xi’s daughter, then stretched out his arms and, looking at them from afar, said this line.

”Pfft!” Chen Xi burst out laughing, ”Lord Xuande, you’re something else, to even see this.”

”I’m serious,” Liu Bei laughed heartily in reply.

”Whatever, if they’re a good match, I won’t interfere. If not, your son is the one who’s doomed, honestly,” Chen Xi chuckled, resting his elbows on the window of the carriage. ”Then he’d have to be half my son.”

”Anyway, you’re his mentor, and a mentor is like a father, so you wouldn’t lose out!” Liu Bei said breezily, ”Then your daughter counts as half mine.”

”I feel something’s a bit off.” Chen Xi suddenly realized that Adou should call Zhen Mi sister, just like how Liu Che calls Lord Xiucheng ’sister.’ Suddenly, Chen Xi looked a bit disgruntled, what kind of situation is this?

”What’s off?” Liu Bei rolled his eyes, as if to say, ’We great men don’t concern ourselves with such trivialities.’ Saying this, he took out a piece of precious jade with a phoenix pattern from his bosom and hung it on Chen Xi’s daughter. The more he looked, the more he liked it. Then he looked at the dragon-patterned jade Adou was wearing, making it clear he had already planned this out.

Truth be told, Chen Xi didn’t find it overly presumptuous. Liu Bei could essentially be considered a Feudal Lord King with the Liu surname now. He had opened his own governmental office and held high nobility, and except for the imperial robe having a few less pearls than the emperor’s, he had everything else the emperor had. That’s why powerful Feudal Lords were doing very well.

”Forget it, there’s nothing particularly wrong then.” Chen Xi waved his hand listlessly, ”Even though she’s past a month old, I still plan to throw a birthday party for my daughter.”

”Just bring her over tonight,” Liu Bei said nonchalantly, ”The banquet is a private one, but everyone who should come will come. My son and your daughter are sure to be very popular.”

”Alright then.” Chen Xi nodded. This sort of thing was his call, and as for Fan Jian and Chen Lan, they publicly disregarded Chen Xi. Even if Chen Xi did something wrong, they wouldn’t point it out at this moment.

He reached out to hold Adou, looked at him, and thought he seemed just like an ordinary baby. As suspected, everything still depended on future education.

”But now that I think about it, I haven’t seen Physician Hua, only his apprentice,” Chen Xi commented after glancing around.

”He didn’t come; he’s still in Fenggao,” Liu Bei explained. ”According to Zilong, he and Hanmou are both immersed in their respective research. Hanmou has reached a critical stage and cannot leave, and Physician Hua hasn’t finished his preparations yet.” Liu Bei did not press the matter, as he generally allowed Hua Tuo and Qu Qi some latitude.

”Oh,” Chen Xi expressed understanding, and at that moment Jia Xu’s carriage passed by and then stopped. Lu Xun hesitated about whether he should inform Chen Xi.

”Wen He, come see my son,” Liu Bei said enthusiastically.

”...” Jia Xu didn’t quite know what expression to put on for Liu Bei but still went over to look at Liu Bei’s son. To Jia Xu, Liu Bei’s son mainly signified greater stability for Liu Bei’s power, and nothing more.

Jia Xu got out of the carriage and held Adou. His face, originally indifferent, suddenly brightened when he saw Adou. He glanced at Chen Xi’s daughter and stroked his beard, ”Hmm, the Lord’s son and Zichuan’s daughter do indeed look like a couple.”

”...” Chen Xi suddenly had the urge to punch Jia Xu in the face. Naturally, Liu Bei was beaming with joy, feeling quite pleased and giving Jia Xu a pat in approval.

Li Youu followed suit and, upon arriving, looked over and said flatly, ”It’s true!”

”You guys aren’t pulling my leg, are you?” Chen Xi said angrily.

”Ahem, ahem,” Liu Bei felt a little embarrassed under Chen Xi’s scrutiny and turned his head to the side, ”Perhaps it truly is, great minds think alike...”

”If you didn’t turn your face away, I’d actually find it very convincing.” Chen Xi picked up his daughter and looked at Adou in Li Youu’s arms, ”...”

After observing for some time, Chen Xi felt, whether it was because of psychological suggestion by these rascals like Li Youu or something else, he actually began to see them as a pair. Seeing ghosts in broad daylight!

Following several carriages, whether it was Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying, or Cai Zhaoji, Cai Zhenji, all were quite adept in these mystical studies, so they naturally saw the same.

”Marquis Chen, it seems you can see it too,” Zhuge Liang teased, covering his mouth. Chen Xi often joked around about fate needing to be bent and claimed not to understand, yet Zhuge Liang could hardly believe Chen Xi was oblivious given his gaze.

”If you don’t mind, allow this old man to take a look,” Fan Liang stepped out of the carriage at this moment, leaning on a cane, as Fan Jian quickly supported him.

”How could I object, elder,” Liu Bei gestured invitingly, acknowledging that the man was Chen Xi’s father-in-law, and Chen Qian, though born to Chen Lan, was considered a granddaughter in this era, so of course, there was no problem with him seeing his granddaughter.

In terms of face reading and fate, these were the Fan family’s hereditary skills. One glance and he understood most of what was going on.

[I used to think it was just a rumor, but didn’t expect it to be true, complete and without deviation from the Zhi Wei Doushu.] Fan Liang was slightly surprised. He had assumed it was mere lore when he heard how Lady Gan swallowed the Big Dipper and dreamed of bearing a son.

[My granddaughter, still the same as always, gained more purple energy after being held by Zichuan, but if you talk about looking like a couple... it’s truly seeing ghosts, but it can be this way.]

Fan Liang, with a bitter smile, handed Chen Qian and Adou back to Chen Xi and Liu Bei respectively, ”If they didn’t look like a couple before, they do now.”

Chen Xi felt full of question marks, utterly confused by what this meant, what was it exactly?

”Elder Fan means that these two children, both extraordinarily noble, being held together by you two, could only end up this way.” Zixu suddenly appeared and said, ”Even though they may not be the best choice for each other, they are the most suitable choice for everyone else.”
