Chapter 124: How Men and Women Get Along
Tan Ce was slightly stunned, then smiled.
"Why do you suddenly ask this, Your Majesty?
I've only been married for three years, so I can't say I'm an expert in the art of marital relations, but I do have some insights."
Three years is not a short time, and I have been married for less than three months.
Chu Musheng put down the teacup and looked at the flowers in the distance.
"This king has been quite troubled by this aspect recently."
Tan Ce bowed.
"Your Highness, please tell me what you are thinking. Perhaps I can help you resolve your worries."
Chu Musheng sighed softly.
"My princess has a rather erratic personality and often does things that I never expected.
I sent guards to protect her, but she thought I was restricting her freedom.
This forced me to withdraw my guards and strengthen my covert protection of her."
Tan Ce thought for a moment.
"Your Highness, most women are delicate and sensitive. Perhaps the princess just longs for more respect and understanding."
Chu Musheng frowned.
"I have been very tolerant of her, but she doesn't seem to appreciate it. She always quarrels with me.
Although we will reconcile soon, I am still worried that one day she will really ignore me."
Tan Ce shook his head.
"Your Highness, being tolerant is one thing, but letting the princess know your feelings is another. Between husband and wife, honest communication is crucial."
Chu Musheng remained silent.
What to be honest about?
What to communicate?
Tell the princess that you won’t live past nine years?
Then she shouldn't make plans for her future life earlier?
At that time, the incompetent Taoist was not very proficient in Taoism. He realized that his life was in danger, so he dared to take the property in the palace and tried to run away.
It would be fine if the incompetent Taoist ran away.
The princess can't run away too.
"Sometimes I don't know how to talk to her, for fear that my words might be too harsh and hurt her feelings."
Tan Ce smiled.
“Your Majesty, even if your words are clumsy, the princess can still feel them.
Furthermore, showing more caring actions on a daily basis, giving small gifts occasionally, and creating surprises can also enhance the relationship between husband and wife."
Chu Musheng glanced at him sideways.
“A caring gesture, a small gift?
The day before yesterday, I finally found a parrot that can mimic speech for the princess.
But the princess said that she was like the parrot, locked in a cage by the king and had no freedom.
After hearing this, Tan Ce tried hard not to laugh out loud.
"Your Majesty, as this subordinate has said, the princess is still too young.
As far as I know, you are five years older than the princess, and five years ago you were not as calm and composed as you are now."
Chu Musheng nodded. The princess was indeed very fresh and tender...
However, I am only twenty-one, so I am a perfect match for the princess, right?
Tan Ce said again.
“Your Majesty, as long as you work hard, there will definitely be improvements.
The relationship between husband and wife is about adapting to each other and achieving each other through mutual adjustment."
Chu Musheng nodded.
"I hope that as you said, this prince and the princess can love each other without any doubt."
Seeing Tan Ce pack up the chess pieces, Chu Musheng stood up.
"You should go back first. I guess the princess will be back soon."
Tan Ce bowed and took his leave, walked out of the pavilion and turned back.
"Your Majesty, it is said that those involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. There is something I am unsure whether I should say."
Chu Musheng raised his eyebrows and said unhappily.
"Tan Ce, when did you become so hesitant when speaking? Just say what you want to say."
Tan Ce...Your Highness, you have never asked me about how men and women get along with each other before!
"Your Majesty, please do not blame me for speaking the truth."
Chu Musheng looked at him coldly and told him with his eyes.
If you don’t tell me, get out of here.
Tan Ce touched his nose and said in a low voice.
"I heard that the one who is loved is always fearless. The more the prince shows his love, the more joyful the princess will be.
Why don't you leave her alone for a few days? Maybe the princess will figure it out herself."
Chu Musheng......
piss off.
What bad idea did you come up with?
Are you sure you are not trying to sow discord between the prince and the princess?
"Nonsense! How could I leave her alone?"
What if I leave the princess out in the cold and she refuses to be with me at night?
Tan Ce said hurriedly.
"Your Highness, please calm down. I was just talking nonsense. I just felt that Your Highness was too accommodating to the Princess in this relationship.
This woman really can’t be spoiled. In my hometown, if you don’t beat her for three days, she’ll tear the roof off the house.”
What's the big deal about a man beating a woman?
Did the princess say this?
Chu Musheng snorted coldly.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Please leave."
Tan Ce saluted and left in a hurry.
He doesn't have the same worries as the prince.
He lived in harmony with his wives and concubines.
Princess, this is a bad habit you developed because of the prince's indulgence.
Chu Musheng paced back and forth in the pavilion, thinking about Tan Ce's words, and felt that something was wrong.
How could he just give up or let go of his feelings for the princess?
A gust of wind blew, and a secret guard appeared before him.
Chu Musheng asked: "Is the princess back?"
The secret guard replied: "The princess is on her way back."
Then, the secret guard told Chu Musheng all about the princess's outing today.
"Well, you go down!"
After the secret guard left, Chu Musheng wanted to go to the front hall to wait for Xu Keke.
After walking a few steps, he returned to the pavilion and sat down.
"Someone is coming."
"What is it, Your Majesty?"
Sheng Er came over quickly.
"Go and fetch the guqin. I want to play a tune."
Chu Musheng waved his sleeves at him.
Sheng Er took the order and left.
Not long after.
Sheng Er presented an antique guqin.
Chu Musheng took the guqin, placed it on the stone table in front of him, and gently tuned the strings a few times.
At this time, Xu Keke had already returned to the palace with Dingdang Anxiang.
All the servants in the mansion bowed their heads to her.
Xu Keke returned to the main hall and didn't see Chu Musheng, so he looked at Manager Yao who was standing beside him.
"The prince hasn't come back yet?"
Manager Yao quickly bowed in response.
"Princess, the prince is enjoying the cool air in the garden."
Hey, the Dog Prince really knows how to enjoy himself!
"Well, I'll go take a look."
Letting Dingdang and Anxiang go back to rest, Xu Ke walked towards the garden alone.
It is summer now, and there is a good place to cool off in the garden.
The pavilion has a view of the whole garden.
As soon as I stepped into the garden, I could hear the quiet sound of a piano from afar.
Xu Keke was curious and followed the sound to the pavilion.
Chu Musheng was seen wearing a moon-white robe with fluttering sleeves.
His hands plucked the strings deftly, and his handsome face showed concentration.
So beautiful!
Xu Ke was fascinated by what he saw.
Before she knew it, she had walked to the bottom of the pavilion, staring blankly at Chu Musheng's divine figure.
There is melodious and pleasant piano music in my ears.
When the song ended, Chu Musheng looked up at Xu Keke, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Come here, my beloved."
Xu Keke came to his senses, walked into the pavilion and sat next to Chu Musheng.
"Your Highness is in a very elegant mood today. The song you just played was really beautiful."
Chu Musheng smiled slightly and turned his head to look at Xu Keke, intending to strengthen the interaction between the two.
"Would you like to play a song, my dear?"
License can...
"Alright."
Then......
Then Chu Musheng was brainwashed by the evil sound again.
Oh! Don't ask me for this next time.
It looks good, but it's a bit tiring for the ears.
