Nangong Jiu climbed onto Liu Hao's lap and sat down.
Liu Hao smiled and started from the beginning.
"My uncle is five years younger than my father, and he got married relatively late, when I was six.
So, I know his affairs very well.
He has always had a crush on someone in his heart, but at a palace banquet, the Empress Dowager tricked him into marrying her."
Nangong Yunxue couldn't believe it: "The emperor's uncle doesn't look like someone who would be manipulated. If he was being plotted against, why would he marry the emperor's aunt?"
“Hey, this is a long story.
Back then, the emperor's aunt's father was an influential old minister in the court. His father had only ascended the throne for a few years and his foundation was not stable.
For the sake of the court and his father, the emperor suffered this loss and reluctantly married her."
"So how is their married life?"
Liu Hao sighed, "When we first got married, our relationship was very tense, and the Emperor's uncle even slept in the study.
Not long after the marriage, the emperor's aunt's father passed away. The emperor's aunt always went to the emperor's grandmother to cry and complain, asking for this and that for her family.
The royal grandmother and father were very annoyed.
In order to provide a quiet life for the Imperial Grandmother and her family, the Imperial Uncle asked for a piece of land and moved there with his family."
Nangong Jiu kept nodding his head: [No wonder, this is an old problem of hers.]
"Yes, after all these years, she has had many children and thought she could get rid of her bad habits.
Unexpectedly, when they saw the benefits, they still rushed forward like flies as usual.
Nangong Yunxue was amused by Liu Hao's words.
"If she knew you said that to her, she would be furious and come after you."
Liu Hao spread his hands and said, "It's alright, it's not like I haven't fought with her before. It's just that I'm giving her some leeway for the sake of my uncle."
"You fought with her?"
"I have fought, more than once." Liu Hao smiled as he talked about his impressive battle record.
"The first time I dealt with her was the day she plotted against the Emperor's uncle.
Seeing that my uncle had lost his reputation because of his scheme, I was so angry that I rushed over and beat her.
At that time, although I was still young, I also started to practice martial arts. My little fists still had some strength, and I punched her nose so hard that it bled.
He also grabbed her hair and pulled it wildly, making her cry for her parents.
If it wasn't for my mother holding me back, I would have beaten her so hard that she couldn't face anyone."
Nangong Jiu kept clapping and cheering when he heard it.
Nangong Yunxue shook her head: "Why don't I have any impression of it?"
"You were only two years old at the time and you don't remember anything."
Nangong Jiu felt itchy after hearing this and urged, "More, tell me quickly."
"After that, I threatened to beat her up every time I saw her, so she started avoiding me carefully.
After getting married, she and the emperor's uncle had a quarrel with Mao Dun, so she ran to the emperor's grandmother to complain and ask her to judge the case.
Once, I caught him red-handed.
I pushed her, and she was angry and slapped me.
This pissed me off, so I didn't show any mercy and started a fight with her."
Nangong Yunxue's eyes widened when she heard this: "What was the result? Who won?"
"Of course I won! When an adult fights a child, she's the loser no matter what."
"Haha... I didn't realize you were so arrogant."
Liu Hao nodded with a smile: "When I was young, I had the best relationship with the Emperor's uncle, and I couldn't bear to see him get bullied.
That day, she and I were both called to the imperial study.
When my father lectured me, I argued with him, and he punished me by making me kneel."
Liu Hao smiled with his lips pursed.
"I knelt outside the imperial study, on the path she had to pass. As soon as she came out, I suddenly grabbed her legs and threw her flat on her back."
"Are you that awesome?"
"Actually, it was Eunuch Wei who secretly helped me."
Nangong Jiu laughed so hard that he gave Liu Hao a thumbs up.
"I beat him up one last time and finally convinced her.
I remember that day, the sun was shining brightly, and I went to ask my uncle to go for an outing outside the city, but I happened to run into her pulling my uncle and making a scene.
At that time, my anger was rising rapidly.
With a cry of "Awooo", he rushed over to pull her.
She pushed me and called me a brat.
I was so angry that I scratched, bit, kicked and hit her. She finally let go of my uncle and wrestled with me.
At that time, I didn't know where I got the strength from, but I tripped her to the ground, sat on her and started beating her up.
The uncle saw that I hadn't suffered any harm and didn't bother to stop me. I beat her until she begged for mercy, and then I let her go."
"Oh my god! You were so fierce when you were a kid?!"
"Yes! However, after that, I never beat her again, because the emperor's uncle told me that she was pregnant.
She probably also felt that it was bad for her to frequently fight with a six-year-old like me, so she took the initiative to come to me to reconcile.
She admitted that she had plotted against the Emperor's uncle, saying that she had been in love with him for many years and that she would live a good life with him in the future.
"So you forgive her?"
"Well, my grandmother, father, and mother were all present at the time. They all persuaded me, and I forgave her."
Talking about that glorious past, Liu Hao himself couldn't help laughing.
The slight discomfort in Nangong Yunxue's heart also disappeared.
"Who was the person the emperor's uncle liked? What happened later?"
“She was the daughter of a military commander. After the emperor’s uncle got married, she went to another place with her family.
She was a gentle and polite woman. Both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor liked her very much, but unfortunately, fate played tricks on her.
If the emperor's uncle could marry her, he would be much happier than he is now."
"You should like her too, right?"
"Well, at that time, the emperor's uncle often took me to meet her by chance. She would always buy me delicious and fun things and was very kind to me."
"No wonder you wanted to beat up your Imperial Aunt. You're not only heartbroken for your Imperial Uncle, but also for that woman, right?"
“There is a reason for this.
Later, when you were lost, I went to see her once while looking for you. She is living a good life now, with two sons and a daughter, and a harmonious family.
"So how is your relationship with the Emperor's aunt now?"
"It's just okay. I've grown up and understand the difference between men and women. A good man doesn't fight with a woman.
The emperor's aunt was actually a very shrewd woman. She gradually understood the emperor's uncle's temperament and went along with him in everything. Their relationship improved greatly.
Moreover, every time they come back, she will take the initiative to approach me to show her kindness, and I can’t reach out and hit someone who smiles at me.”
"So what about your cousins? Do they look like the Emperor's aunt?"
"No, they were all raised by my uncle personally, and they are all very good."
"That's good!"
After Liu Hao finished speaking, he looked at Nangong Jiu and said, "Jiu'er, when you meet a relative like her in the future, you don't need to save face or embarrass yourself. Just refuse directly."
"Yeah, I remember that."
"If she wants to plot against our Jiuer, she has to get past me first."
Nangong Yunxue burst out laughing: "You're not going to fight with her again, are you?"
Liu Hao had an unfathomable smile on his face.
"I wouldn't call it a fight, but I want to deal with her, and there are many ways to do it..."
