Chapter 310 The world is not as good as you!

Meng Yanzhi's eyebrows furrowed tightly as she looked at Xiao Xingyuan, who had suddenly appeared, with some surprise: "Why are you back again?"

Shouldn't I have come back?

"Rouge, how cruel you are!"

Xiao Xingyuan pulled the person into his arms.

"Rouge, I promise you, we'll leave after things are over in Canglan Kingdom!"

"Once Zangshui leaves, I'll take you to Jiangnan!"

"Rouge, don't give up on me!"

Xiao Xingyuan always felt that Meng Yanzhi's current calm was a preparation for the storm to come. He had seen the real Meng Yanzhi, which was why he felt such fear.

He knew that Meng Yanzhi was vengeful and that she could kill without shedding blood. These were the things he loved, but also the things he feared!

Seeing Xiao Xingyuan's pitiful appearance, Meng Yanzhi smiled gently and responded to his panic with the most enthusiastic gesture.

The next day, early morning.

When Xiao Xingyuan woke up, he saw Meng Yanzhi lying next to him and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When he went to court, he waved his hand and directly appointed the Crown Prince as regent, and told the court officials that if they had any problems, they should go to the Crown Prince first!

Originally, everyone in the court thought that Xiao Xingyuan would depose the crown prince after having his own child!

But to everyone's surprise, not only is there no indication that they intend to depose the crown prince, but they are even subtly giving him more important responsibilities.

For a moment, even Xiao Ce was a little confused, not understanding what Xiao Xingyuan meant.

After the court session, Xiao Ce quickly went to the imperial study: "Father, is there anything happening in the palace?"

"The world will eventually be handed over to you; what you need now is more experience."

"Do you expect me to spend my whole life watching over this vast land with you?"

Xiao Xingyuan was truly satisfied with this crown prince. After all these years, Xiao Ce had always been excellent and outstanding, and had never made a mistake in doing what he was supposed to do.

Xiao Xingyuan not only liked but also trusted the crown prince he had personally groomed, knowing that there was absolutely no problem entrusting the world to him.

But Xiao Ce knew nothing of this. He looked at Xiao Xingyuan curiously and said, "Father, I don't understand. Father is still young..."

"I don't want to be the emperor."

Xiao Xingyuan finally chose to tell the truth.

"If it weren't for destiny, I would be just a leisurely prince now, a position I never liked from the beginning."

"Besides, Rouge loves freedom the most. The constraints of the nine-layered palace will slowly strangle her. When she is uncomfortable, I will also suffer."

"I love her more than anything, so I can only choose to follow her, respect her, and do everything I can to make her more comfortable!"

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Xiao Ce would have found it hard to believe that these words actually came from the mouth of an emperor.

How could a dignified emperor have to cater to and follow a woman?

This is absolutely terrifying!

Seeing Xiao Xingyuan like this, Xiao Ce was even a little surprised.

"Father, have you...lost your mind?"

"No."

Xiao Xingyuan looked at him indifferently.

"You haven't met someone you like yet. Maybe you're not like me at all. Even if you did meet someone you like, you would love the country more."

"But that's just how I am. If I love someone, I only love that one person."

Xiao Xingyuan never felt that expressing his love was a shameful thing, especially since he had fallen in love with such an outstanding girl. This was his honor and medal.

Xiao Ce always thought he understood Xiao Xingyuan very well, after all, he had grown up by Xiao Xingyuan's side and been raised by him.

But now... Xiao Ce said he couldn't understand it at all, and couldn't even believe that the person in front of him was Xiao Xingyuan.

But he still nodded: "Yes, Father, rest assured, I will do my best to handle these matters!"

"Uh, go ahead." Xiao Xingyuan nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Wang Huanhai: "Has Cangshui been behaving itself lately?"

"Your Majesty, Zang Shui has been wandering around the capital lately and has shown great interest in the Empress. He has already secretly entered the palace two or three times." Wang Huanhai knew what was most important to Xiao Xingyuan, so he quickly reported this crucial piece of information!

What?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingyuan's expression immediately changed, and he said irritably, "That brat, it's one thing to win over the court officials, but what's he doing going to the harem when he has nothing better to do? This is my harem, not his!"

Seeing Xiao Xingyuan's irritable state, Wang Huanhai silently lowered his head and remained silent.

However, Xiao Xingyuan quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly walked towards the Begonia Palace. Sure enough, as soon as he entered, he saw Meng Yanzhi busy in the small kitchen, probably preparing delicious food for the children.

He quickened his pace and walked over, frowning as he looked at Meng Yanzhi: "Yanzhi, why didn't you tell me that Cangshui often comes to see you?"

"He's nothing but a scheming, pretentious prince. What's there to say?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, although he is good-looking, he is frivolous and I do not like him."

Meng Yanzhi's hands didn't stop moving for a moment. She picked up a small pastry and stuffed it into Xiao Xingyuan's mouth.

"Your Majesty, is it delicious?"

"This is fruit puree I made for my child, made with fruit. What do you think?"

Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan with anticipation.

Meeting Meng Yanzhi's expectant gaze, Xiao Xingyuan belatedly realized that nothing else mattered; what mattered was that the person was right in front of him.

He smiled and then said, "It's delicious, Aman will definitely love it, I love it too!"

"If you like, I'll make a little more; it'll be good for you too."

"You always like to eat meat but not vegetables, that won't do."

Meng Yanzhi kept her head down and continued what she was doing, muttering to herself.

She always works so subtly and quietly, perfectly taking care of every little detail.

No one ever cared what Xiao Xingyuan liked to eat, what he didn't like to eat, or whether it was good or bad for him to eat more or less. Only Meng Yanzhi cared about these things.

“I plan to send Zhao Dongzhi ahead to the frontier first. What do you think?” Xiao Xingyuan moved a small stool over and sat silently next to Meng Yanzhi, eating the fruit puree on his plate while looking at Meng Yanzhi with a serious expression.

Meng Yanzhi couldn't help but laugh at his cute and earnest expression. She then said, "This is a matter of Your Majesty's previous dynasty. I don't care. As long as it's good for the country, I have nothing to say."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingyuan chuckled and said, "I thought you were reluctant to let Zhao Dongzhi take the risk."

This guy!

Meng Yanzhi was speechless. She really didn't expect Xiao Xingyuan to be so petty!

"Your Majesty, I never cared about your previous harem, so why do you keep harping on this?"
