Chapter 1006 Northern Frontier 03
Lu Yunfei is twenty-two years old this year, no longer the eighteen-year-old boy he once was.
Nowadays, one can increasingly see the composure and restraint of a mature man in him.
Perhaps because he had lived in the desert for several years, Lu Yunfei still possessed the tenacity and imposing presence of a man from the desert.
His once fair skin has now been tanned to a bronze hue by the desert sun, but his handsome face is not affected by the tan; on the contrary, it makes him even more charming.
"Fourth Imperial Sister-in-law." Lu Yunfei walked up to Chu Yueli, greeted her first, and then looked at Tuoba Liuli: "Eldest Sister-in-law."
Tuoba Liuli almost forgot herself while watching.
The golden sunlight shone on him, making him seem to radiate light; he was truly handsome.
"Sister-in-law, if your brother sees that look in your eyes, he'll get jealous again," Chu Yueli reminded him.
Zisu smiled and said, "Although the Ninth Prince is indeed more handsome than the Eldest Young Master, you can't be like this, Madam. You should at least give the Eldest Young Master some face, right?"
"What's wrong? You're not as good-looking as others, so you won't tell anyone?" Tuoba Liuli is not the same as before; she can't even take a joke anymore.
Besides, she knows her own husband well enough not to care about such things.
Judging from how often he patrols with his soldiers lately, getting himself tanned dark, it's clear that her husband doesn't care about looks at all.
Lu Yunfei simply smiled calmly, said nothing more, bid them farewell, and then turned to walk towards Lu Qiyan.
“In recent years, the Ninth Prince has become increasingly calm and reserved,” Zisu couldn’t help but sigh softly.
It's not that being more composed is bad, it's just... she didn't know how to explain it, but she just had a feeling that... it seemed that the Ninth Prince hadn't been doing well these past few years.
But in reality, Mingming has always been with everyone, and their food, clothing, housing, and transportation are the same. Although there are occasional wars in the northern border region, there is not much pressure.
Why are you not doing well?
That night, Zisu found Chu Yueli.
"Miss, have you figured out the changes in the Ninth Prince over the past few years?"
"Did you understand it again?" Chu Yueli asked as she made clothes.
Her needlework skills were already quite good, but she rarely made men's clothes in the beginning, so she was a little overwhelmed at first.
After three years of honing my skills, I have now mastered them to perfection.
She made all the clothes for the men in the family: Lu Beimo, Lu Yunfei, and Lu Qiyan.
Most of the clothes were old. She would spread the fabric out, re-dye it with the dyes she had researched, and then re-cut and remade it.
It seems like the men in his family always have new clothes, but in reality, they're always wearing the same old fabrics.
As long as the fabric is still usable, Chu Yueli can miraculously restore it and turn it into new clothes.
Northern Xinjiang is still backward, far inferior to the capital, and people there never live a life of luxury in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
Even though they were the family members of the King of the Northern Frontier, they lived a simple life.
"I don't understand it, that's why I came to you, Miss."
Zisu sat down opposite her and began the work she had started earlier: making clothes.
"Miss, haven't you noticed? In the past three years, the Ninth Prince has rarely smiled."
Even when I laugh, it's the kind of perfunctory laugh I had this morning; it's just a polite gesture.
Neither of them genuinely wanted to laugh.
"Miss, is something on the Ninth Prince's mind? Although Prince Mo is his own brother, the two grown men don't seem to have much to talk about. Why don't you go and chat with the Ninth Prince another day?"
