Chapter 356 Extra 12

In Emperor Jingwen's mind, Ye Shuo has always been a child who has never grown up. Now that he has come to his senses, he realizes that he is no longer young.

The prince next to him calculated and said, "Thirty, I think."

Even if he is less than 30 years old, it is probably not much different.

However, Xiaojiu, who is nearly thirty years old, has only one princess now. Thinking of this, everyone fell silent, and then looked at Emperor Taicheng, who had the most difficult time with offspring.

Emperor Taesung expressed that he felt offended.

Although, at this age, he still has one more prince than Xiaojiu. After all, he has a son and a daughter. Look at Xiaojiu, she is still far inferior to him!

The second prince couldn't help but stroke his chin: "Could it be that the feng shui in the imperial concubine's palace is not good?"

Otherwise, why can’t one or two of them have children?

Could it be that my father had done something about this back then?

"If I didn't miss it, Jianjian is not married yet, right?" This is interesting.

Emperor Taicheng, who had the same thought, seemed to be concealing his words, but in fact, the blatant gaze in the eyes of Emperor Jingwen made Emperor Jingwen angry all of a sudden. It was true that the Duke of Zhenguo was very powerful in the past, but he would not be so despicable. With his two biological sons over there, he would still continue to make small moves, right?

It was clearly their own fault that they couldn't have children. It would be too unfair for them to put the blame on him.

Under the angry glare of Emperor Jingwen, Emperor Taicheng, who had inadvertently thought too much, coughed lightly and quickly looked away.

He was satisfied, but then even Emperor Jingwen himself couldn't help wondering, could it really be a Feng Shui issue? Did the Astrology Bureau choose that location on purpose?

Emperor Jingwen finally became worried after thinking about this. Why did these two emperors have no children?

At this moment, although Emperor Jingwen, the father, was already dead, he still couldn't help but start worrying about the inheritance of his youngest son.

In the heart of Emperor Jingwen, no matter how great Xiaojiu's achievements were, they were not as important as giving birth to a prince as soon as possible so that the Ye family's kingdom could continue.

What's wrong with He Xiang and the others? Why aren't they anxious?

Emperor Jingwen was thinking about this when he looked up and saw Xiaojiu carrying Xiaodingning to court. His heart was immediately struck.

After all, it was the first child, and the child was so good-looking. Emperor Jingwen could understand Xiaojiu's reluctance to let go of the child. Even he felt happy through the projection. But was it too rude to do this?

Even Emperor Jingwen, the father, frowned when seeing such a scene, but Prime Minister He and his men were like blind people, turning a blind eye to it.

Are these still the same group of civil officials who would lecture whenever they get the chance?

Without waiting for Emperor Jingwen and Emperor Taicheng to express their opinions, as soon as Xiaojiu sat down, He Xiang and others immediately worked non-stop to solve all the problems that Da Zhou had encountered recently.

So why do they always say a few words before talking about serious matters, and speak in a roundabout way, leaving people guessing every time?

Emperor Jingwen and Emperor Taicheng both took a deep breath.

Goodbye, He Xiang and others were even upset because Xiaojiu gave a small pair of glasses to the Taifu but not to them. They even automatically reflected on whether they had done anything recently to annoy Xiaojiu. Finally, they concluded that it was because they did not agree when Xiaojiu led the army in person and left the Queen to supervise the country, and Xiaojiu now guessed that they would be treated differently.

Such a skillful sense of self-management really left the prince and others speechless.

Emperor Jingwen and Emperor Taicheng felt that they lost because they gave too much face to Prime Minister He and others. So is it true that the emperor is too capable and worries too much, which means his ministers will become lazy?

Then, when he heard those words, [“Your Majesty, please have mercy on the people of the world and help the Great Zhou to have more descendants.”], Emperor Jingwen was immediately cheered up.

Here it comes, it’s finally here. He Xiang and the others have finally asked for it. If they don’t urge him, he will be so anxious that he will die.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Jingwen and others saw Xiaojiu becoming furious and scolding the ministers.

Everyone: “…”

"No, is he sick?" The second prince almost blurted out.

Among this group of people where each person has seven or eight wives and concubines, Ye Shuo, who only has one queen, seems so out of place. In the eyes of the Second Prince and the others, doesn't he seem crazy?

Asking Xiaojiu to expand his harem does not mean he will die. Even if he misses his queen, the worst that can happen is that he will be given more respect. Why bother to argue with the ministers over such a trivial matter? The Second Prince will never understand it anyway.

At this moment, Emperor Jingwen already had a bad feeling in his heart. After all, Xiaojiu had done a lot of extraordinary things in recent years, so Emperor Jingwen would not be surprised if he did something even more extraordinary.

Seeing the anger and rejection on Xiaojiu's face that was barely concealed, Emperor Jingwen's heart immediately sank.

You know, he had this expression when he got the will left by Xiao Yejin. In the end, he would not have compromised if he had no other choice. But that time, he would die if he didn't become emperor. But now, the ministers can't strangle him to death just because he doesn't want to take a concubine, right? Even if He Xiang and others have this idea, they don't have the ability to do so now!

After the previous battle, the military power of the border is now almost firmly in the hands of Xiaojiu, and his prestige has long surpassed that of the two generals Fang and Xu. Because of the previous incident, General Fang and General Xu had a grudge against Prince Ding, and they could not rely on others, so they could only rely on Xiaojiu. As for General Xu on the border of Chen State, he was a general under the old Duke Zhenguo, so he naturally belonged to Xiaojiu's faction. In addition, the commander-in-chief Li Yuheng... If He Xiang and the others wanted to force a marriage, they could only wait until the next life, unless he crawled out of the imperial mausoleum now, there might be some hope, otherwise... it can only be said that it is not optimistic.

Emperor Jingwen felt a dark sensation before his eyes.

"Is there really no one in this world who can stop him?"

Emperor Jingwen couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question, but all he got was silence in the courtyard.

The Crown Prince has been unable to do anything with his younger brother since he was young, and Emperor Taicheng even had to ask him for help in the end, not to mention the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince. Thinking about it this way, isn't Xiaojiu living too arrogantly?

"That is to say, the Ninth Prince intends to have only little Dingning as his child in this life." The little emperor couldn't help but conclude.

Emperor Jingwen's already ugly expression turned even darker now, as if he had been stabbed again. Such a weird thing would be fine if it happened to someone else, but Emperor Jingwen believed that Xiaojiu could do it.

Emperor Taicheng saw that the situation was not good and quickly covered his son's mouth.

Little Emperor: “Mmmmm--”

The scene in front of them was still going on. Everyone watched as He Xiang and the others became extremely anxious and exhausted. They kowtowed until their heads were broken, but Xiao Jiu did not give in. The legs of Prince Su and Prince Jin were so weak from running.

The two men first went to Prince Ding, and Emperor Jingwen couldn't help but look hopeful. However, Prince Ding was frightened by Xiao Jiu and didn't dare to answer at all.

"Bah, so useless." Emperor Jingwen couldn't help but spit.

Then Prince Su and Prince Jin went to find the Fifth Prince, the Seventh Prince, and the Eighth Prince. The three of them had watched Xiaojiu grow up since he was a child, so they knew Xiaojiu's temper and did not say a word to him for fear of offending him.

As for the old Duke Zhenguo... as soon as the incident happened, he claimed to be ill and closed the door to visitors. As expected of someone who had survived the hands of Emperor Jingwen, he had a keen sense of smell and did not give the two princes this chance at all.

The last one is Empress Dowager Wei. But for some reason, when Emperor Jingwen saw the scenes of Empress Dowager Wei getting along with the Queen and her second master, he felt uncomfortable and inexplicably felt like he was being cheated on.

Soon Emperor Jingwen had no time to think further. Prince Su and Prince Jin had gone through such a long journey, but as expected, they didn't gain anything.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine how Prime Minister He and the others felt when Xiaojiu said, "It's okay if you want to give birth, but I will only have one child with the Queen, and only one more. As for taking a concubine, don't even think about it."

Just like a long drought finally ending with a downpour, Prime Minister He and others in the picture seemed to have heard the sound of nature. Emperor Jingwen outside the picture was also extremely excited, and even the Crown Prince and others were slightly shocked.

You know, this is the first time Xiaojiu has made a compromise in his life. Isn't this worth celebrating?

【“Just one.”】 Fearing that Xiaojiu would go back on his word, He Xiang and others in the picture hurriedly agreed.

Sure enough, Xiaojiu is still sensible and not the kind of person who likes to do whatever he wants.

Looking at Prime Minister He with tears in his eyes, then looking at his comforted father, and then looking at the slightly relieved expressions of the others, the Fourth Prince couldn't help but slowly wonder "?" in his mind.

No, are you so easily satisfied?

And father, can you please ask Prime Minister He and the others to look at themselves first?

But obviously, Emperor Jingwen's attention is now focused on Xiaojiu's second child, and he has no time to pay attention to anything else.

Since Xiaojiu and Yao Zhi were both in their prime, once they made a plan, they quickly came to fruition.

In Emperor Jingwen's view, it was impossible for his son not to give birth to a son, so this pregnancy was definitely a sure thing. He did not notice the subtle expression on Yao Zhi's face when she asked her master to take her pulse.

Ten months passed in a blink of an eye, and soon it was time for the fruits to ripen.

Emperor Jingwen felt that he had never been so nervous in his life. No matter what, he must be a prince!

Emperor Jingwen almost went to the King of Hell to ask him to be reincarnated as a boy.

Well, actually, Emperor Jingwen did ask in the middle, but the ghost did not give him an answer. He just said that everything in the world has its own destiny, and told him not to be too anxious, keep a calm mind, and the difficulties will be solved.

When these words fell into the ears of Emperor Jingwen, whose mentality was already unbalanced, they meant: Don't worry, there is no problem, the prince is definitely here.

Even Emperor Taicheng and his men thought so.

Until the final result came out and everyone learned that it was another princess, they fell silent.

How should I put it...Xiaojiu really doesn't have any luck with being a prince.

When Emperor Jingwen saw Xiaojiu, who was so happy and not disappointed at all, he was so exhausted that he almost fainted.

No, it doesn’t matter. There will be a future. He doesn’t believe that Xiaojiu can really bear it!

Emperor Jingwen tried his best to comfort himself.

But as the footage played, Xiaojiu proved with facts that he could do it, he really could do it.

Emperor Jingwen's heart suddenly died.

…

…

"No more looking at it. There is no hope for the Great Zhou." Emperor Jingwen waved his hands. He felt disheartened and there was no hope in his life.
