[MTL] Xian Wang Dotes On Wife

Chapter 61 Part 1

The Vinegar Brewed By Red Beans

"Correct.  Yi Ri is my older brother," San Qiu replies.

The corner of Yun Qian Yu's lips twitches again; there really is one!

San Qiu adds, "w.a.n.gye kept repeating, 'one day feels like three autumns'.  After saying it long enough, he decided to change me and my brother's names.  There are two other people whose names are changed; one is called 'Chang Qing' and another is called 'Chang Si'.

(TN: 'One day feels like three autumns' (一日不见如隔三秋) means one days feels like three years when he is not with her.  Chang Qing (长情) - Everlasting love.  Chang Si (长思) - Everlasting yearning.)

Yun Qian Yu blinks while pursing her cherry lips.  Then, she trained her eyes on San Qiu.  She is confident San Qiu is bringing this up on purpose.  The things he wants to say may even be more than that.

As expected, San Qiu continues, "The Ye Ming pearls in princess' hand were searched high and low by us guards.  And that cloak you has took two years to be produced.  Because Your Highness likes the colour blue, w.a.n.gye decided to search for materials that are naturally blue that can be woven into fabrics.  The material needs to be warm, soft and will not fade through time.  Later, in a secluded community, we discovered that they have been using the end of a peac.o.c.k's tail feather to produce a beautiful blue-coloured fabric.  w.a.n.gye then started collecting peac.o.c.ks' feathers.  But, even in that community, only the community's leader and some of the elderly women in his family can afford to wear clothing made of that material.  Peac.o.c.k's tail feather is really rare.  Collecting all those feathers took two years, the time taken to weave it into fabric on the other hand, took 3 months.  All in all, that cloak took 2 years and 3 months to be made."

After saying all that, San Qiu is impressed with himself.  Who said that he has a dull mouth?  Can someone with a dull mouth comes up with things like that?  He secretly mutters in his heart:  Master, I had to entice the maiden on your behalf, so early in the morning.  I can only help you this much.

Yun Qian Yu is already used to hiding her emotion.  Even though her face is calm, her heart is actually surprised the more she listens to him.  Gong Sang Mo actually exerted that much effort for things that she likes.  Even though she thinks he is pretty childish with his actions, a bigger part of her is touched.  Her heart feels light and warm.  Her ears warm up as her heart races.

He seems to really care about her.  Why else would he do so much for her back when she hadn't even realized anything?

San Qiu gets antsy when he noticed that Yun Qian Yu's expression remains the same even after he said so much.  The princess already found out about everything last night, why is she still acting as indifferent as she did in the past? Then, when he sees Yun Qian Yu's ears turning red, he heaves a sigh of relief.  Lucky the princess is not as unswayed as she appears to be; his Master's wait is not in vain.

"Your Highness, this subordinate knows that it is not in my place to be saying all that, but I just wanted Your Highness to know the hardship that w.a.n.gye has been through for the past few years.  His heart belongs to you but he could not even say it out loud.  He has done so much for you in the dark, not just the things I told you just now.  Please give w.a.n.gye a chance.  There are very few men like him out there; men who are outstanding in all aspects but channels their love to only one person."

Yun Qian Yu looks at San Qiu in surprise; she never thought that the quiet San Qiu would have such a soft heart.  He actually cares so much for Gong Sang Mo, seeing him that way tells her that Gong Sang Mo really has it hard.
