Chapter 277 Adorable Kid's Assistance: Daddy's Being Disliked!

Xiao Xingyuan glanced at Xiao Ce, then said calmly, "If it were you, what would you choose?"

"Your subject does not know either."

"Your subject is afraid he will choose the officials and the world."

Xiao Ce took a deep breath and made a very difficult choice.

No woman is worth him doing such a thing, not even Meng Yanzhi!

Looking at Xiao Ce's expression, Xiao Xingyuan's eyes showed some disappointment. He coldly said, "As a monarch, if you are threatened by your subjects, then your throne will be shaky and unstable!"

"You are the emperor, and they are merely subjects. Do you understand?" Xiao Xingyuan stood up and looked at Xiao Ce very seriously.

Xiao Ce was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what Xiao Xingyuan meant. He immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Yes, Father is right. It's all my fault!"

"Ce'er, now they are opposing my marriage, which is a form of coercion. If I compromise, I'm afraid there will be even more things I will have to compromise on in the future!"

Xiao Xingyuan was not a lone wolf, but no matter what, he had to make these people understand who the emperor was and who held the highest power!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ce suddenly understood.

"Yes, Your Majesty understands!"

Xiao Xingyuan smiled slightly and nodded in satisfaction.

But even though that's what they say, well...

Xiao Ce sighed: "Father, what about those people..."

"Even if they all die today, someone will take their place tomorrow."

"What I have in abundance is people; I'm just afraid they're unwilling to give up this wealth and glory, and unwilling to die."

Xiao Xingyuan snorted disdainfully, his face full of disgust.

For Xiao Xingyuan, this threat of a collective strike was not a threat at all, but a provocation!

He patted Xiao Ce on the shoulder, then turned and strode towards Meng Yanzhi's courtyard.

Now, three to five days have passed, and Meng Yanzhi's health has improved considerably. Her complexion is rosy, and her child is well-fed and chubby.

This child was born to repay a debt of gratitude. He never cries or fusses, and he always giggles whenever he sees Meng Yanzhi.

After having this child, Meng Yanzhi felt much more at ease looking at the baby's soft and adorable appearance.

Now that she has received the imperial decree to confer the title of Empress, the last bit of anger in her heart has vanished.

She knew that Xiao Xingyuan was not to blame for this; in fact, he was also framed and was innocent.

She was still a little sad, but now she's all better, even the last bit of sadness is gone.

"Giggle!"

Aman laughed at Meng Yanzhi, her little hands and feet waving wildly in mid-air.

She looks exactly like Meng Yanzhi, as if Xiao Xingyuan has nothing to do with her at all.

Xiao Xingyuan heard the child's laughter as he walked in.

Seeing Meng Yanzhi's gentle appearance now made his heart soften even more. He strode over, leaned close to the bedside, and looked down at Aman: "Baby, it's your father, your father has come to see you!"

Aman was originally all smiles and gesturing at Meng Yanzhi, but upon seeing Xiao Xingyuan, she immediately stopped smiling, lay there expressionless, and stopped playing.

The difference was so great that Xiao Xingyuan felt a pang of grievance and gently poked her chubby little face: "Aman, look at me, Father Emperor is Father Emperor."

Xiao Xingyuan's voice was soft, yet gentle, and even showed a hint of the tenderness of a new father.

Staring at Xiao Xingyuan's pitiful profile, Meng Yanzhi couldn't resist leaning forward and gently kissing him.

"Giggle!"

Aman, who had been lying there quietly, suddenly burst out laughing and started dancing around again.

Xiao Xingyuan was completely dumbfounded. These past few days, whenever he came to see the child, Meng Yanzhi was always cold and never gave him a kind look, no matter what he said. But he never expected that she would actually kiss him today.

Is the sun rising in the west?

Xiao Xingyuan tilted his head, staring at Meng Yanzhi with joy and excitement: "Yanzhi...you, you've forgiven me?"

He probed cautiously, his voice even trembling slightly.

Even a dignified emperor acted this way in front of Meng Yanzhi, which softened Meng Yanzhi's heart even more.

She leaned forward and hugged Xiao Xingyuan tightly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have blamed you. You were also tricked by someone."

"Rouge, don't apologize, it's my fault."

"I shouldn't be taken advantage of."

Xiao Xingyuan immediately embraced Meng Yanzhi, his eyes slightly stinging.

These days have been unbearable, and Xiao Xingyuan even thought they could never go back to the way things were before.

Now that she has been lost and found again, Xiao Xingyuan only wants to hold her tighter, even tighter, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones, so that the two of them would never be separated again.

"A-Yuan, I should believe you."

"I am the one who should apologize."

Meng Yanzhi whispered in Xiao Xingyuan's ear, her voice slightly choked with emotion.

Xiao Xingyuan reacted quickly and hurriedly reached out to wipe away Meng Yanzhi's tears. He then said, "You can't cry. You're still in your postpartum period. Be good, don't cry."

Ah Man was tired from playing and had already fallen fast asleep.

The two embraced tightly, gazing at their child, an unprecedented warmth spreading throughout the room.

After witnessing this scene from the doorway, Qingdao covered his mouth and burst into tears.

Little Corn looked at Qingdao curiously: "The Emperor and Empress have made up, isn't that a good thing? Why is Sister crying?"

Qingdao rolled her eyes at Xiaoyumi and said irritably, "What do you know, little brat? You don't understand anything at all!"

"It has been truly remarkable that Your Majesty and Her Highness have come this far." Qingdao said, sniffing again.

Wang Huanhai snorted: "Of course it's not easy, but it's not them who have an easy time, it's the civil and military officials. What time is it? The civil and military officials are still kneeling outside!"

"These old men are utterly baffling. There are so many things going on in the world, and many people are starving, yet they ignore all of that. All they do is fixate on His Majesty's harem. What are they doing?" Qingdao snorted in dissatisfaction. "Eunuch Wang, should I go and teach them a lesson?"

Wang Huanhai laughed in anger, looking at her with curiosity: "Tell me, how are you going to teach them a lesson?"

"I think these people aren't thinking straight. Should I grab a hammer and give them each a whack?" Qingdao looked at Wang Huanhai with excitement.

Wang Huanhai finally understood that as long as he nodded, this girl would rush out immediately, and the civil and military officials would suffer terribly.

"Alright, just shut up for a second!"

"Don't do anything reckless!"

Wang Huanhai was still a little worried, so he emphasized it again.
