A few minutes later, everyone arrived at the banquet hall.

After everyone was seated, a beautiful woman in kimono served tea.

"Come, have a taste. Although it can't compare to the tea from Mount Amaterasu, it's not bad either."

The Emperor laughed.

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded and took a sip.

"Well, it's already very good. The tea I brought you this time is also effective for the soul."

"Oh? You're so polite."

The emperor's eyes lit up and he said something that made Xiao Chen feel very cordial.

"Come on, what else do you want?"

"Haha, then I'll take it away?"

Xiao Chen asked with a smile.

"Forehead……"

The emperor was stunned. Why didn't this guy play by the rules?

"I'm just kidding. Can I take back the things I gave away?"

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Well, you can't take back what you gave away...you can't take back what you stole either."

The emperor nodded.

Xiao Chen's face turned dark. Are we not going to be able to eat?

Eating is fake, asking for things is real?

The drunkard's real intention is not to drink!

"Haha, I'm teasing you too."

The emperor smiled. He had given up the idea of asking for the things back.

He had some ideas before, but now... Amaterasu treats Xiao Chen as her own grandson. If he asks for things again, wouldn't that be uncomfortable?

Just consider it as a way to avoid disaster by spending money.

If thinking this way doesn't work, then... just treat it as sending away a beggar.

Well, thinking about it this way, the emperor felt much more comfortable.

"You're kidding me? Haha, after we finish eating, I plan to take a stroll around the palace."

Xiao Chen looked at the emperor with a fake smile.

“…”

When the Emperor heard Xiao Chen's words, veins on his forehead throbbed.

"You... Hehe, are you kidding me?"

"Hahaha, look how scared you are... Yeah, I was just teasing you."

Xiao Chen laughed.

“…”

The emperor also smiled, but felt relieved in his heart.

He decided that he must not let Xiao Chen out of his sight tonight.

Even when I go to the bathroom, he follows me!

"Are you two having fun? Are you teasing each other? If I have the time, I'd go watch some crosstalk and let them tease me."

Old Demon Zhao looked at Xiao Chen and the Emperor and said.

"If you want to watch crosstalk, then you have to pay for the ticket, right? Besides, how can any crosstalk artist compare to us?"

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Besides, the Emperor is not a stingy person. If I like something, how can he not give it to me?"

"able."

The emperor nodded seriously.

"I'm just a stingy person."

“…”

Xiao Chen was speechless. Well, for a few things, this old devil even lost his dignity.

"???"

Aoi Miko was confused. Is this... the emperor who is so high and mighty?

Isn't that right?

It's completely different from what she saw on TV!

She looked at Xiao Chen, then at the magnificent banquet hall around her. It was indeed the imperial palace.

If it were somewhere else, she would not believe the old man in front of her if he said he was the emperor, even if she had seen him on TV.

"Look, he's just an ordinary old man, right? He's stingy."

Xiao Chen turned his head and whispered to Aoi Miko.

“…”

Aoi Miko forced a smile, then thought of something and looked at Xiao Chen. Brother Chen didn't do it on purpose, did he?

But you know what, she doesn't seem to be nervous anymore.

"Ms. Aoi is in China now, right?"

The emperor also looked at Aoi Miko and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you can just call me 'Miko'."

Aoi Miko hurriedly said.

"Yes, I am studying in China now."

"With just one word 'Meizi', the road becomes wider."

Xiao Chen muttered to himself.

"Haha, what are your plans for the future? Do you want to stay in China or return home?"

The Emperor asked again.

"This... I haven't thought about it yet."

Aoi Miko shook her head. She really hadn't thought it through. The biggest reason she wanted to stay in China was to see Xiao Chen.

But...if she stayed in China, it seemed that she would not be able to see Xiao Chen.

Didn't he run back to the island country just to see Xiao Chen?

"Well, Meizi, I think you can consider returning to your country to develop..."

The emperor glanced at Xiao Chen and said to Aoi Miko.

"Our country is in great need of talents like you who go to study in China..."

“…”

Xiao Chen was a little speechless. Do you believe this yourself? How dare you say it out loud?

Are they talents studying abroad in China?

It's obviously a talent related to me, no, a beauty!

How could he not know what the emperor was planning? It was too obvious.

"Oh, King of Siam, do you think it's enough to let Xiao Chen be a prince of a different surname? What does this mean..."

The emperor sneered in his heart. He decided to use Aoi Miko to win over Xiao Chen and make Xiao Chen the most solid ally of the island country!

Before Aoi Miko could react, she heard a smile on the emperor's old face again: "Well, Miko, I just had an idea."

"You say it."

Aoi Miko said hurriedly.

Xiao Chen looked at the smile on the Emperor's face, and for some reason, his heart skipped a beat. Why did he feel like this old devil was going to cause trouble?

"When I first saw you, I felt so familiar with you, as if I had seen my own granddaughter... Meiko, how about I take you in as my granddaughter? You will be a princess of the royal family in the future!"

The emperor had a kind smile on his face.

"ah?"

When Aoi Miko heard the emperor's words, her eyes widened. Adopt her as his granddaughter?

Egawa Aoki's eyelids also jumped. He and Miko were brother and sister. Miko became the emperor's granddaughter, but what about him?

grandson?

"No way!"

Xiao Chen also reacted and objected immediately.

This old devil wants to take advantage of him?

"Why not?"

The Emperor looked at Xiao Chen, somewhat surprised.

Doesn't this kid have some ideas in mind when he brought Aoi Miko here today?

Now that he has a godson, it's a win-win situation.

"We are of different generations, do you want to take advantage of me?"

Xiao Chen looked at the Emperor and said.

"Uh, no, I don't have such an idea."

The Emperor shook his head.

"I just think it's kind to meet Meiko."

"Oh."

Xiao Chen sneered, I don’t believe you.

"At most, we can discuss our own affairs..."

The Emperor said again.

"You and I can have our own discussions, but what about Amaterasu?"

Xiao Chen thought about it and said.

"You are Meiko's godfather. She is of the same generation as me. So no matter what, you have taken advantage of me and become my grandfather. And Amaterasu is my grandmother... Are you sure she won't kill you?"

“…”

Hearing this, the emperor broke out in a cold sweat, as if it really wasn't going to work.

However, he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

He looked at Aoi Miko, then at Prince Asahito and the others… and gritted his teeth, thinking that it didn't matter if she was younger.

"Then I will take her in as my goddaughter, so that I won't be of the same generation as the Lady."

"Goddaughter?"

Xiao Chen was speechless. He looked at Aoi Miko and then at the Emperor.

"Look in the mirror. Do you look like her godfather? Besides, even if she is your biological father, you can't raise such a young daughter at your age."

"Who said that? This emperor can do it!"

The emperor glared.

"Although I am a little older, I am in good health..."

"Okay, okay, okay... But goddaughters and godfathers don't have a good reputation in China."

Xiao Chen said again.

"Why?"

The emperor was curious.

"Well, a few words can't explain it clearly."

Xiao Chen shook his head and looked at Aoi Miko again.

"Forget it, let's just be granddaughters."

He brought Aoi Miko here today because, just as the Emperor thought, he also wanted to help her.

Although, with a big brother like Egawa Aoki, Aoi Miko can already walk around the island country with ease.

But Egawa Aoki is just a big boss in the underworld after all, and the emperor... is the ruler of a country.

There is still a big gap between the two.

"Then the lady above..."

The emperor felt a little weak.

"It's okay, just say what I said."

Xiao Chen said casually.

"good."

When the emperor heard this, he immediately felt relieved.

"Then it's settled. From now on, Meiko is my goddaughter. I will anoint her as a royal princess tomorrow..."

"???"

Aoi Miko was confused. I...I, the person involved, don’t seem to have said anything yet?

You guys... have decided it?

"Miko, congratulations."

Xiao Chen looked at Aoi Miko and smiled.

"I...is this okay?"

Aoi Miko calmed down and asked in a low voice.

"There's nothing wrong with it. Didn't the Emperor say that he felt friendly when he saw you? Besides, you're a talent who has been to China..."

Xiao Chen said.

“…”

Aoi Miko was speechless. Do you believe this?

She knew very well that the reason why the Emperor adopted her as his granddaughter was 200% because of Xiao Chen.

Otherwise...the Emperor knows who she is!

"From now on, you can walk around the island country as you please."

Xiao Chen said again.

"Third brother, now that you mention it, I suddenly have an idea."

Old Demon Zhao spoke.

"What do you think?"

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment.

"Emperor, how about we become sworn brothers? I also want to be the boss of the island nation."

Zhao Lao Mo looked at the Emperor and said.

“…”

Everyone was speechless.

"Forget it. If we become sworn brothers, it will involve too many things. My third brother and I are also sworn brothers, and there is also my eldest brother..."

Old Demon Zhao shook his head again.

"Emperor, just think of me as teasing you, don't worry about it."

“…”

The emperor wants to curse, when did I ever think about it? It was obviously you who said it, wasn't it?

"Miko, don't think too much."

Xiao Chen persuaded Aoi Miko a few more times, and the latter agreed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Aoi Miko said.

"Hahaha, once it's officially canonized, the title will have to be changed."

The emperor laughed, this ally couldn't escape.

"Go, make the arrangements. The dinner is about to begin and we need to celebrate properly."

"yes."

Someone has arranged it.

"Emperor, from now on we are relatives."

Xiao Chen looked at the Emperor and said.

"Well, then what? You want your stuff back?"

The emperor asked, no matter whether it is returned or not, just ask casually, maybe there will be a surprise.

"What are you thinking? I don't understand what you are talking about."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"From now on, we are truly family...If you have any problems, just give me a call."

"good."

The emperor was excited, he really was one of his own.

"Of course, I'll call you if I have anything to say... You can't refuse me then."

Xiao Chen said again.

“…”

The emperor was stunned. Why did he feel like he had fallen into a ditch?
