Chapter 491

Wen Xin: "...Oh, then it's nothing."

His Highness's words must be full of blessings for her.

Um!

Granny Wan asked cautiously, "Does His Majesty feel there is a problem with the reign title?"

Wen Xin: "Well, how should I put it? I once read a book about an emperor whose reign title was Tianqi."

Granny Wan immediately showered him with compliments, "His reign title is the same as His Majesty's, so he must be a wise ruler."

"No, he was the penultimate king of a fallen kingdom."

"..."

"With the heavy reliance on treacherous officials, the dynasty is utterly corrupt."

"..."

"Oh, and he died young."

Moreover, the Apocalypse Explosion, one of the world's three great unsolved mysteries, occurred during this emperor's reign.

Rumor has it that he was also completely illiterate, only loved carpentry, and was known as the "Carpenter Emperor".

So, sharing the same reign title with such an eccentric and unpredictable emperor...

Wen Xin took a sip of chilled watermelon juice to calm her nerves.

However, thinking about what happened to the fragments of my soul in my previous life...

Damn it, she's way worse off than the Tianqi Emperor.

Take another sip of chilled watermelon juice to calm your nerves!

Granny Wan was already so frightened that she knelt down on the ground.

"His Majesty……"

"Granny, get up quickly. This is just a fictional dynasty. I was just joking. Look how scared you are."

For this small world, the Apocalypse Emperor truly does not exist.

Despite the sweltering summer heat, Granny Wan's forehead was covered in cold sweat as she cautiously observed the emperor's expression.

I'm afraid His Majesty might be implying something when he tells this story.

But His Majesty and His Highness have had a very good relationship lately!

Wen Xin: "..."

I was just telling a story out of boredom; I really didn't mean anything by it.

Well, being at the center of power, from emperors and nobles to palace servants and maids, everyone's mind is like a winding mountain road.

Seeing that Granny Wan was really uneasy, Wen Xin explained, "Your Highness definitely hasn't read that book, otherwise he certainly wouldn't have given me such an era name back then. Moreover, when I think about it, it was I who nodded in agreement to the Tianqi era name back then."

Upon hearing this, Granny Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that there's no estrangement between His Majesty and His Highness.

Wen Xin: "..."

It's so hot that if you lie down on the street, you'll be roasted alive if you just flip over. Do you think it's easy to cool down with a lame joke?

Of course, as the most noble emperor, no matter how hot the weather was, it wouldn't be too hot for her.

Not to mention that her bedroom was the coolest and most well-ventilated in the entire Summer Palace, the Imperial Household Department provided her with all the ice available immediately...

Wen Xin glanced at the ice chests surrounding the palace, then reached out her little paws toward the chilled longan, leisurely enjoying the extravagant life of an emperor.

No emperor in the world could live as easily as she did.

The country is strong, the people live in peace and prosperity, the court is well-organized, and there are people to help her with government affairs.

And her? She can have whatever she wants.

Having a capable regent who was completely loyal to her made her life as blissful as a god.

So how could she possibly have a falling out with her own prince?

I wish I could tear my heart out and die, but absolute trust in him is a must.

She's too wise to be a fool like a fragment of a soul!

Xiao Jin: "..." You are the emperor of a matriarchal world, enslaving your future husband, and you can still be so proud?

As expected of you!

Also, wouldn't you consider the soul fragments as yours as well?

When the owner gets ruthless, he even curses himself!

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Hearing the kneeling and bowing sounds of the palace servants outside, Wen Xin's almond-shaped eyes instantly brightened.

She scoffed inwardly: See, my prince is willing to serve me. You're just jealous, aren't you? Your jealous face is truly ugly.

Xiao Jin: "..." Master, don't you have a conscience when you attack single people all the time?

It's obvious that Wen Xin wouldn't do that.

"Your Highness."

Before the regent could even bow, a soft little bundle of joy bumped into his arms.

His expression was a mixture of helplessness and doting. "Your Majesty, be careful not to fall."

The little empress hugged him, raised her small face, and her clear, bright almond-shaped eyes were brimming with tears. "No, Your Highness will definitely catch me."

The Regent's heart felt as if it had been gently struck, incredibly tender. "Yes, Your Majesty, I certainly will."

Wen Xin smiled and asked, "Your Highness, are you done with your work?"

During this time, while in the capital, he had to prepare for various matters related to his trip to the Summer Palace, appointing trusted officials to remain in the capital. After arriving here, he would again be responsible for the security of the Summer Palace and would also have to handle the handover of government affairs with those in the capital...

In short, I'm busy!

The two of them have had very little time to meet and talk these days.

Seeing that he was so busy that he barely had time to sleep, the lazy emperor couldn't help but feel a little guilty, so he offered to help him look at the memorials.

Yes, I'm just helping out temporarily. When Your Highness has time later, he can come again.

The Regent: "..." Who is the true emperor?

Wen Xin blinked: Does Your Highness want to be one?

Regent: ...Your Majesty, please stop fooling around.

However, Wen Xin finally managed to stop being lazy and diligently picked up the memorials, but...

What were those memorials about?

The entire text is written in classical Chinese, and it rambles on and on without getting to the point. Much of it is about officials who have a grudge against each other impeaching each other and exposing each other's shortcomings. And even if they were exposing each other's shortcomings, the writing is as difficult to understand as a riddle... In short, it's just a lot of nonsense.

Wen Xin's head throbbed with pain as she read it, and she almost threw the memorial back at the officials' faces.

Of course, she ultimately failed to carry out this foolish act, not because she dared not, but because those officials were not even present at the emperor's presence.

But when Her Majesty the Empress was in a bad mood, she would either draw a big X on the memorial or throw out a few curse words without using a single swear word...

The Regent's lips twitched slightly at the sight, and he quickly took the memorial back to prevent the young emperor from acting recklessly again.

Is she trying to offend all the civil and military officials?

The little empress retorted confidently: It was their fault after all!

Even elementary school students know that writing should be concise and to the point, yet those officials who have studied for countless years always go off-topic when writing memorials, requiring her to read and understand them herself.

Damn it, she's the emperor, not one of their examinees.

Reading comprehension: A peach.

The Regent: "..." In officialdom, subtlety is paramount; who doesn't have layers upon layers of meaning in their speech?

But could His Majesty be wrong?

Of course not!

Therefore, the regent ordered all civil and military officials to relearn how to write memorials and to stop using obscure literature; otherwise, they would lose their official positions.

The officials were speechless. Had the regent gone mad?

Or is he plotting some terrible scheme again?

Is this an attempt to rebel?

Regent: "..." Just chop these idiots up!

The little empress nodded her head in agreement.

Seriously, these hillbillies don't do much real work all day long. All they do is plot and scheme, suspect the Regent is going to rebel, and wish I would step down. What use are they?

It's good that it's been cut!
