Chapter 195 Everyone Has Difficulties

"Shuo!" Yuan Yao continued.

"Go and get busy. I'm going to continue walking with Yuan Yao." Emperor Hong Qi drove him away.

"Go." Yuan Yao continued.

Pei Jingzhou felt very uncomfortable when he saw Hong Qidi and Yuan Yao both of them were just learning to walk.

"Your Highness, let Yuan Yao stay here with our father. Let's go back first." Jiang Zhaoyue said.

Pei Jingzhou nodded: "Yeah."

The two walked out of Yongxiu Palace.

Jiang Zhaoyue said, "Didn't the emperor say you were too talkative?"

"I know." Pei Jingzhou said dejectedly, "He just passed the throne to me in an easy way."

"Since you know everything, why are you sad?"

Pei Jingzhou raised his eyes and looked forward, then slowly stopped and said with some sadness: "Father has always been dignified and majestic, high and mighty, but now..."

"He's doing well now." Jiang Zhaoyue continued.

Pei Jingzhou turned around and looked at Jiang Zhaoyue, seemingly not understanding.

Jiang Zhaoyue met his gaze: "He said it all, he's been emperor for so many years and wants to take a break."

"Is he sincere?" Pei Jingzhou was unsure.

Jiang Zhaoyue said firmly: "Sincerely."

Pei Jingzhou asked: "How do you know?"

Jiang Zhaoyue spoke frankly: "Because he is like this, he can't be the emperor."

"So he was forced."

"I'm sincere now." Jiang Zhaoyue said seriously, "Everyone loves power, and the emperor even more so. That's why father was so angry when he first learned that he had a stroke.

“But he has no choice.

"He just couldn't speak clearly, couldn't walk steadily, couldn't hold a pen, and couldn't write.

"He must have experienced this kind of powerlessness, helplessness and loneliness repeatedly for a long time before he slowly came to terms with who he is today.

"Probably on the day of the victory in the Southwest War."

"What happened that day?" Pei Jingzhou asked.

"That day, he found out that you could definitely take that position, and he felt relieved all of a sudden. He also laughed especially happily when playing with Yuan Yao." Jiang Zhaoyue felt that Emperor Hong Qi suddenly became cheerful. Pei Jingzhou said that being cheerful was a good thing, so she didn't think much about it.

It now seems that it was from that time that Emperor Hong Qi made up his mind to pass the throne to Pei Jingzhou this year.

Afterwards, Emperor Hong Qi slowly discussed some national affairs with Pei Jingzhou.

After much discussion, Emperor Hong Qi felt that Pei Jingzhou was capable of handling matters on his own, so he resolutely stopped interfering in state affairs and focused on training and raising his grandson.

It was at this time that Pei Jingzhou figured out everything that had happened recently.

Jiang Zhaoyue held Pei Jingzhou's hand and said, "Life is made up of one self-dilemma after another."

"Self-dilemma?" Pei Jingzhou was puzzled.

Jiang Zhaoyue nodded: "Yes, some people are trapped in power, some are trapped in hatred, some are trapped in money, some are trapped in beauty, some are trapped in love, and some are trapped in family... Sometimes when you jump out of one predicament, you will jump into another.

"Father has escaped the dilemmas of power, illness, and emotions, and has reconciled with his current self, becoming a happy, simple, and true self.

“This in itself is a very difficult and difficult thing.

"We shouldn't be sad, we should be happy for him, right?"

Pei Jingzhou looked at Jiang Zhaoyue's bright face. He didn't know when it started, but Jiang Zhaoyue's few words could always answer his doubts and soothe his restlessness.

Now he really no longer felt sad for his father, but happy, and could not help but nodded: "Yeah."

Jiang Zhaoyue added: "If you become a good emperor, your father will be happier."

"Yes." Pei Jingzhou couldn't help but ask: "Then what is your dilemma?"

"Me."

"Um."

"Tell me about your predicament first." Jiang Zhaoyue pulled Pei Jingzhou towards the East Palace.

Pei Jingzhou confessed: "Worried."

"What are you worried about?"

"I'm worried that I haven't done well. I feel guilty towards Yuan Yao, you, my father, the court officials, and the people of Dajin."

"Don't worry, I'm with you." Jiang Zhaoyue comforted directly.

Pei Jingzhou felt much better instantly, and asked, "What about your predicament?"

"That's my dilemma," Jiang Zhaoyue said with a smile. "I know a lot, and I seem like a great sage, but I just don't put it into practice. I just want to be a common person with strong emotions and desires."

Pei Jingzhou's mouth twitched and he said, "Then you are very self-aware."

Jiang Zhaoyue seemed very pleased: "Thank you very much."

Pei Jingzhou asked: "Is this a compliment?"

Jiang Zhaoyue said confidently: "Don't mind me, I think it's a compliment."

Pei Jingzhou lowered his head and laughed when he heard this.

Jiang Zhaoyue didn't care and bumped Pei Jingzhou with his shoulder.

Pei Jingzhou turned his head to look at her: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Zhaoyue asked, "Are you really going to be the emperor?"

Pei Jingzhou nodded: "Yeah."

"Then I am the queen?" Jiang Zhaoyue never thought that after traveling through a book, she could become the crown princess, and now she is going to be the mother of a country. It is so grand.

Pei Jingzhou deliberately said: "If you don't want to, I can find someone else to be the boss."

"Okay, if you let someone else be the queen, then I'll take a huge sum of money and leave the palace with Yuan Yao, travel around, and on the way, hook up with a few handsome scholars, handsome widowers, fallen generals, and so on, and have a grand and spectacular marriage-"

"Don't talk nonsense." Pei Jingzhou put his hand over Jiang Zhaoyue's mouth and complained aggrievedly: "I just made a joke and you stabbed me in the heart."

Jiang Zhaoyue pushed Pei Jingzhou's hand away: "You know you can't tease me, but you still tease me."

"A cruel and ruthless woman." Pei Jingzhou commented.

Jiang Zhaoyue asked, "How am I cruel?"

Pei Jingzhou complained: "You said you would abandon me, and you abandoned me. You are not sad at all."

Jiang Zhaoyue nodded: "That's indeed cruel, but where is the ruthlessness?"

"Ruthless——"

Before Pei Jingzhou could finish, Jiang Zhaoyue reached out and patted his butt: "Here's the ruthless hand."

Pei Jingzhou was stunned, his handsome face suddenly flushed. He subconsciously looked around, then stared at Jiang Zhaoyue: "Jiang Zhaoyue, you——"

Jiang Zhaoyue lazily sat on the chair and said nonchalantly, "We're in the main room, and the palace maids are not here. What's wrong with me touching your butt?"

"broad daylight!"

"I touched you all over in broad daylight yesterday."

Pei Jingzhou turned around angrily and walked towards the bedroom.

"Your Highness, are you angry?" Jiang Zhaoyue put down the tea bowl and followed him into the bedroom.

Pei Jingzhou suddenly appeared out of nowhere, closed the bedroom door, pressed Jiang Zhaoyue against the wall, and kissed her madly.

Jiang Zhaoyue's eyebrows curved slightly, and her hands skillfully reached into his clothes.

The two kissed and kissed until they ended up on the bed.

Pei Jingzhou looked down at Jiang Zhaoyue and said through gritted teeth, "You are the Demon Queen."

"Yes." Jiang Zhaoyue's fingers slowly moved downwards, grasping something. His eyes flickered as he softly said, "I came down to earth to seduce you."

Pei Jingzhou groaned.

Immediately afterwards, some embarrassing noises were heard from the bedroom from time to time.

Xiangqiao and others didn't dare to get close.

After the clouds and rain stopped, Pei Jingzhou kissed Jiang Zhaoyue on the cheek and said, "Demon Queen, I'm going to get busy."

"You are the demon. You have drained me dry." Jiang Zhaoyue said weakly.

"Okay, okay, my demon, you should have a good rest." Pei Jingzhou got up and went to work.

Jiang Zhaoyue took a nap and went to find Yuan Yao after waking up. She thought that Pei Jingzhou would announce the imperial edict soon.

Unexpectedly, day after day passed and he still hadn't announced it.

It was the end of the year, and she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, when will you announce the imperial edict?"
