Xiao Zhan, at the young age of 6.
"Your Royal Highness has fallen down again!" A man in his early thirties said furiously.
Xiao Zhan had tripped on his own foot and dropped his sword.
"This is because Your Royal Highness' grounding and posture are bad! Keep weight on both feet! Hold your ground, Your Royal Highness!"
"But Master Shu, it's so hard! I don't want to do this anymore!" Xiao Zhan whined.
"Oh, so is Your Royal Highness giving up? Where's that little fool who swore and was determined that he'll be the best king that the Kingdom of Chongqing will ever have?"
Young Li Wen could only bite hard on his lips as he watched Master Shu insulting and getting so rude to His Royal Highness. His Royal Majesty had given Master Shu a permission to be strict to His Royal Highness and discipline him as he saw fit.
"And now, Your Royal Highness doesn't want to do it anymore because what? Is it too hard? Such a simple technique is already too hard for you, Your Royal Highness?" Master Shu sneered as he added. "Then that makes you weak."
Xiao Zhan was only silent while Li Wen was shaking in anger.
"Last time, you also broke a vase again. It's either you stumble or break something. War is coming, Your Royal Highness. Do you think your clumsy and lousy personality will help the war?"
Xiao Zhan looked down, tears in his eyes were about to fall.
"I'll ask you one last time, Your Royal Highness. Are you giving up?"
Xiao Zhan blinked his tears away and the rest that had escaped his eyes were wiped with the sleeve of his clothes.
He looked up at Master Shu and gave a firm answer, "No." He then resumed his stance.
"Then let's continue."
After marriage, no one had spent time with King Xiao as much as the Queen, and as they found themselves getting along more, whether in bed, royalty and any other life matters, Xiao YiBo started to notice something.When his husband became unfocused, he would drop something; when his husband became heedless, he would tumble on something.
This had repeatedly happened although not always.
After some time, Xiao YiBo couldn't help it anymore and hesitantly asked, "Is my husband... somewhat... a klutz?"
"Insolent!" Li Wen was about to hit Xiao YiBo and Xiao YiBo closed his eyes to accept his punishment when Li Wen instantly remembered that Xiao YiBo's status was already of a Royalty—His Royal Majesty's wife. So he immediately halted his hand in the air and retracted it. "I apologize, Your Majesty. Please punish me."
As the person married to their King, Xiao YiBo now has the right to speak informally and more openly straightforward to His Royal Majesty.
But Xiao YiBo took that as an affirmation to his question. He gasped and looked at Xiao Zhan with sparkles in his eyes. "Wait, so you are?! Really???" How Li Wen treated him moments ago had already been written in the water.
Xiao Zhan answered with silence and Xiao YiBo took that as another yes. "How can you be even more adorable???!" Xiao YiBo hugged Xiao Zhan tight and rained kisses on his face.
"No, it has been controlled now, Your Majesty." Li Wen answered for his King.
What did he mean by controlled? It was obviously not the case based on how his husband was behaving. It was a great wonder how they could keep it this well—was what Xiao YiBo wanted to say but just kept in his head.
