Chapter 362 Extra 18

Then I thought that Dingning was going to become the emperor soon, so it didn't seem like a big deal.

Emperor Jingwen took a deep, deep breath.

Dingning always does what he says. Once he has an idea, he will soon get results.

Having watched her grow from a little child to now, and now being about to get married and have children, Prince Men and the others felt very complicated for a moment.

"Time passes so quickly..." The prince couldn't help but sigh.

Everyone was in a daze, realizing that decades had passed in the blink of an eye.

After witnessing Ding Ning's wedding ceremony from beginning to end, they looked at Xiao Jiu who was sitting in front of the hall and realized that he was no longer young. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows had some fine lines added with the passage of time. Then they looked at their very young selves. They were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought of something -

It is known that after death, when one becomes a ghost, one will always maintain the state of the previous life. The age at which one died will be the same as the age at which one becomes a ghost. Doesn't this mean that if Xiaojiu and the others live long enough, when their souls return to the underworld one day, they will probably be older than his father?

Emperor Taicheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, showing great interest.

The little emperor smacked his lips. Wow, a grandfather version of the Ninth Prince? That sounds pretty good.

As for Emperor Jingwen, he couldn't help but show disgust. Who would want a son who was older than himself?

The scene over there continues——

After the wedding ceremony, in just two or three months, Dingning became pregnant smoothly as planned at the beginning. Fortunately, Xiaojiu was in good health and lived long enough to easily survive Dingning's delivery period. If any of these was missing, nothing he wanted to do would be possible. After all, even if the civil and military officials in the court agreed to the princess's ascension to the throne, they would never allow a princess without an heir to ascend the throne. Otherwise, if the princess encountered an accident later, it would be a disaster for the country.

Therefore, under this situation, the child in Dingning's belly is of vital importance. If the child is delivered smoothly and both mother and child are safe, it will be fine. But if something goes wrong in the middle, everything will be over and all Xiaojiu's previous efforts will be in vain.

When the prince saw this, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Xiaojiu.

Emperor Jingwen, who also saw this scene, snorted coldly: "Even if there was an accident, it was all his own fault. He deserves it."

Although he said so, Emperor Jingwen did not even blink when he looked at the screen again, and his fingers placed beside him kept twirling. It was obvious that he was not as calm as he appeared.

Everyone has long been accustomed to the emperor's duplicity.

As everyone expected, after the news of Ding Ning's pregnancy spread, she soon encountered wave of assassinations. At the same time, the list that Xiaojiu secretly recorded became clearer and clearer.

Different from his previous vague state, Xiaojiu's tendency is now obvious enough that anyone who is not a fool can see it. Soon after, those who have ulterior motives gradually surfaced.

Even the most patient person would be unable to sit still when faced with the current situation.

When he saw that Xiaojiu had recorded several important people who could not be easily touched, Emperor Taicheng could not help but frown, wondering how Xiaojiu would deal with these people. Unlike the small shrimps before, if these people were not handled properly, they would cause a disaster.

While Emperor Taicheng was distracted by these thoughts, the entire princess's mansion had already been quietly guarded by the secret guards. During this period, no one was alarmed, but the princess's mansion was surrounded like an iron barrel. The leader of the team was Wu Yi's disciple, who was now the leader of the secret guards. Such a lineup was truly luxurious.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips. How could they forget Xiaojiu's amazing desire for control? It would be strange if he didn't do something at this time.

But they didn't expect that Xiaojiu was not only like this to them, but also to his own children. There has been no change at all over the years. It can be seen that some of a person's character traits are engraved in their bones and may never be changed in this lifetime.

So just like that, without realizing it, Dingning and the others worked together and finally reached the last moment. Even if Xiaojiu was very capable, he could not do anything in such a situation.

Since it concerns a woman's childbirth, even if the other party is his own biological daughter, Xiaojiu can only watch.

Just when everyone was thinking that he should finally be quiet for a while this time, they saw Xiaojiu in the picture pacing around the hall for a long time with messy steps. It was obvious that he was not calm at the moment. Then, Xiaojiu seemed to have thought of something, took a deep breath, lifted his robe, and strode out of the hall.

...No way, can he even think of a good solution for this?

Just when everyone was hesitating, they saw Xiaojiu walking quickly towards...the Hall of Supreme Harmony?

Everyone: “…”

I understand. There is really no solution, so I have to pray to God.

Emperor Jingwen could not help but snort coldly: "With all the things he has done, it would be strange if his ancestors could bless him. He really has no idea at all."

But Xiaojiu is so anxious now, they just don’t believe that their father is not moved at all.

After all, he is the youngest son that his father holds in his heart!

The eyes of the prince and others could not help but shift to the face of Emperor Jingwen, causing Emperor Jingwen's face to twitch for a while. He guessed what the prince and others were thinking and said immediately: "Impossible, don't even think about it!"

If you say it's impossible, it's impossible. He will absolutely not agree to this!

Seeing that their father's attitude remained firm, the prince and others, although not quite convinced, still turned their attention to Emperor Taicheng.

The tablets of emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty are enshrined in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. People like them have no right to enter at all. Among all the people present, only the tablets of his father and the sixth brother were placed there. These two are the only ones Xiaojiu can ask for help.

The little emperor who was ignored on the side wanted to say something but stopped himself. However, please don't ignore him so naturally!

However, the young emperor did not think that the Ninth Prince would remember him at this time. After all, more than 20 years had passed, and he, who had only been emperor for a year, had long been forgotten...

Especially since the Ninth Prince was his elder, it was even more impossible for him to ask for help from his nephew. Even when the palace servants and eunuchs went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to sweep the floor on weekdays, they would often forget his existence in the corner.

Thinking of this, the little emperor suddenly felt a little discouraged.

Emperor Taicheng, who did not notice his son's abnormality, did not want to care about the matter at all. His own family affairs were a mess, so how could he have the time to worry about others?

Over there, Xiaojiu had already walked in front of a group of tablets and called the palace servants to ask for a lot of tributes and incense sticks. Xiaojiu's eyes first swept across the highest few tablets one by one. Perhaps because he felt that they were not familiar at all, his eyes quickly moved downwards and then fell on the tablet that he was most familiar with.

When Emperor Jingwen saw that the first person he looked at was him, he felt something in his heart but snorted coldly.

Before Emperor Jingwen could speak, he said, "Forget it. If Father knew what I was going to do, it would be good if he didn't jump out of the imperial mausoleum."

He is quite self-aware!

Emperor Jingwen almost laughed out of anger.

In the picture, Xiaojiu shook her head and then looked at Emperor Taicheng. Emperor Taicheng had never known that Xiaojiu had such deep feelings for him before. Even he couldn't help but be moved at this moment.

Then, everyone watched as Xiaojiu inserted the incense stick in his hand into... the incense burner belonging to Xiao Yejin under the tablet of Emperor Taicheng.

Emperor Taicheng: “.”

Emperor Taicheng: "..."

Ah, everyone was wrong...

Noticing that the little emperor's eyes suddenly lit up, the prince leaned back in his chair and said with a smile: "As expected of Xiaojiu, you haven't changed at all."

Only Xiaojiu can do such a thing.

The fourth prince also said: "It seems that Xiaojiu knows you well."

Knowing that even if there were gods and monsters in the world, his father and the sixth son would not sincerely bless him, he simply found another way and found Xiao Yejin. And looking at Xiao Yejin's appearance, he was naturally very happy.

The expressions of Emperor Jingwen and Emperor Taicheng suddenly turned grim.

The young emperor didn't care about all that. He saw that his ninth uncle had never forgotten him and only asked him for help when something happened. Although he didn't know if it would be of any use, he still closed his eyes and put his hands together in a praying gesture. Even ten Emperor Jingwen and Emperor Taicheng combined were not as sincere as him.

In the picture, Xiao Jiu placed all the tributes in front of the small tablet. After a while, a lot of gold, silver and treasures appeared around Xiao Ye Jin.

Looking at the piles of glittering gold ingots and all kinds of dishes and pastries, the prince and others fell silent.

All of a sudden, the youngest of them all became the richest of them all.

It is not known whether it was the little emperor’s prayers that worked, or whether it was because Dingning himself inherited his parents’ traits, but Dingning’s first child finally came into the world smoothly.

Perhaps it was because the child was born under his blessing, the little emperor liked him more and more. By the way, this should be his first nephew, right? So he was finally an elder now.

Fortunately, the prince and others did not know what the little emperor was thinking. If they knew, they would probably not be able to help but say that they are really grandfather and grandson. Their double standards are exactly the same. In the eyes of the emperor, all sons after Xiaojiu are not considered sons. In the mind of little Ye Jin, other sons and nephews are not considered sons and nephews. The two of them are simply amazing!

Looking at Xiaojiu holding the tiny baby girl in her arms and giving her the surname "Ye" in the presence of hundreds of civil and military officials, no matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart, Emperor Jingwen's expression finally looked a little better than before.

Many years passed like this, and An Ning and Yong Ning got married one after another. Seeing that there were more and more children in the palace, they were also competing for the position of heir, but Xiao Jiu had never encountered the cruel scene of siblings killing each other from beginning to end, and she didn't have to worry about her position being coveted by others. From this point of view, the gap between the princess and the prince is not small.

Emperor Jingwen and others couldn't help but feel complicated when they saw that the three princesses Dingning, Anning and Yongning always defended that line no matter how fiercely they fought.

Looking at Xiaojiu who was becoming more and more leisurely and stable, Emperor Jingwen and the others looked indifferent. Although Xiaojiu always did things out of the ordinary, judging from the results, he was indeed the one who lived the best among all of them. Even in the later years of Emperor Jingwen, there was no comparison.

Just when the prince and others were feeling emotional, the seventh prince rebelled.

Everyone: “…………”
