You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.

Su Bei stopped asking questions, but she always felt that Chu Younan seemed to be particularly considerate. If he was not really considerate, then he must be able to see through people's thoughts.

If that were the case, it would be quite fun, but if that were the case, he would know everything I was thinking in the future, so I must not do anything to let him down...

Just as she was thinking, Su Bei felt two burning eyes staring at her. She turned around and saw Chu Younan looking out the window. Everything seemed to be her hallucination...

We have arrived at the palace.

The unchanging imperial palace remained the same for thousands of years, but the person sitting in the imperial study now was the worried-looking Chu Youyang.

Su Bei couldn't help but sigh secretly. Chu Yan was a very wise emperor. It was such a pity that he died at such a young age...

Chu Younan shook her hand.

Su Bei turned around and was about to peek into his eyes, but he heard Chu Youyang suddenly howl, "Third brother! I really can't stand it anymore!"

Chu Younan said helplessly: "What happened again?"

Chu Youyang had a bitter face, "Gu Rui came just now and said that he observed the celestial phenomena and saw that Wu Country will face a disaster. There will be a three-year drought in the north, constant floods in the south, and the border will be disturbed. Being an emperor is so difficult, I don't want to be one, you come!"

The two of them had fought tooth and nail for this position, and Chu Younan had also longed for it, but now...

Chu Younan sighed softly, "You and I are the only adult princes, but my appearance is not suitable for people to see now..."

"It's not a big deal!" Chu Youyang collapsed in the chair, sighing to the sky, "How about I destroy my own face? Then they won't be able to do anything! You mentioned the border issue, you can lead the army to fight, but there are floods in the south and drought in the north, and the national treasury is empty. How can this be solved? How can it be solved? Isn't this going to cost me my life?!"

"Isn't that childish?" Su Bei suddenly said, "Chu Youyang, everyone wants to be the emperor, why are you so weird?!"

Chu Youyang suddenly sat up straight and wailed, "Ah Bei, you don't know anything at all! I get up before dawn every day, attend the morning court and review memorials, and I still can't finish reviewing them until dark! I have never written so many words in my life! And do you know? They submit memorials every day and ask me to select concubines. One by one, they want to send their daughters, nieces, granddaughters to the palace!"

"Do I need it? You know that Xue Jinrong is as fierce as a tigress. How can I have a harem? How can I have many children?!"

Su Bei rolled her eyes at him, but he couldn't see it because of the veil. "Then I can't let my prince be the emperor! What a coincidence! I don't want him to have a harem! I'm afraid he will want to kill someone!"

"At least you can give birth! Even if you two don't give birth to one, don't you still have a son? My poor little Jinrong has had three miscarriages! I don't even dare to be with her..." Chu Youyang paused, with a bitter face, "Just consider it as me begging you, okay? Let the third brother be the emperor!"

The air suddenly became quiet.

After a long time, Chu Youyang finally broke the silence.

"Before she died, the Snow Girl cursed the Wu Kingdom and all of us with the surname Chu. Look, third brother, everything has come true. Otherwise, you can be the emperor first. I want to take Jinrong out for a walk. She said she has never been anywhere." Chu Youyang's voice was extremely humble.

Chu Younan said in a deep voice: "Youyang, the people I sent may be able to find a solution. I promise you, if there is an invasion from the border, I will lead the troops to fight. As for the floods in the south and droughts in the north, you can try the South-to-North Water Diversion Program."

Su Bei looked at Chu Younan in surprise, "You mean to bring water from the south to the north? This is a good idea, but it should be a huge project that requires a lot of manpower and resources."

But she immediately added: "Since the national treasury is empty, we have to think of other ways. After all, such a large project will require a lot of money."

“It’s useless!” Chu Youyang held his head, “It’s useless! The Snow Girl has already cursed the Wu Nation. No matter how hard I try, there’s nothing I can do…”

He is really not fit to be an emperor! Su Bei suddenly felt that she was disappointed with him. She took off her veil and scolded him, "Chu Youyang, look at me! Now I am the Snow Girl. If you don't want me to curse you, then be a good emperor!"

Chu Youyang looked up and saw that her hair was completely white, just like the Bei Shijing he saw that day.

His lips trembled a few times, "Third... Third Brother! Whoever gets the Snow Girl gets the world. You must sit on the throne! I will write the edict of succession right now!"

As he said this, he went to find paper and pen.

Chu Younan stepped forward, grabbed his wrist, and shouted in a deep voice: "Chu Youyang! Listen to me! If my appearance is restored, I won't let you sit in this seat even if you want! But now, you have to hold on! The South-to-North Water Transfer Project is feasible, it just takes time! I will find a way to get you money right now!"

As he said that, he pulled Su Bei out.

Chu Youyang's wailing continued: "Third brother! There's more than that! There are many more people from various countries in the capital, how to deal with them? How to solve the problem of selling official positions in the Ministry of Personnel? How to deal with Mo Xiao and his dog-headed military advisor?"

But Chu Younan ignored him, put the veil on Su Bei, and pulled her out.

The curse of the Snow Girl weighed heavily on their hearts.

On the way back home, the two of them were silent. Suddenly, a clear nursery rhyme was sung outside: "Spinach leaves, yellow on the ground, whose second brother sleeps in the pottery jar? Grape wine makes fragrant soup. Chive leaves, long and long, second brother lies down before eldest brother, the pottery jar is home and bed. Water spinach, the heart of the vegetable is empty, fourth brother is childless and panics, rushing around every night. Pumpkin is round, pumpkin is yellow, pumpkin skin is covered with scars, without a safe family, the country will perish!"

"Stop the car!" Chu Younan shouted in a deep voice.

Su Bei saw that his hands were clenched into fists.

"The Ukrainian country will be fine..." She held his hand and looked outside.

Not far away, a group of children gathered together, reciting nursery rhymes and playing.

Su Bei called Yun Rou over and whispered something in her ear.

"Let's go back home." She held Chu Younan's hand tightly.

If it were a violent prince, the lives of these children would probably be in danger.

The carriage drove away, but Yun Rou and Yun Xi did not follow. One of them walked into a roadside pastry shop, and the other walked to a candied haws stall.

After a while, Yun Rou came carrying several boxes of cakes and Yun Xi carried a candied haws stick, and they walked towards the group of children.

"Kids, do you want to eat candied haws?" Yun Xi shook the candied haws stem.

Dozens of shiny red candied haws stood on the pole, making the children drool.

"think!"

“I want to, too!”

“I want one too!”

Yun Xi was soon surrounded by children.

Yun Rou also opened the snack box, and instantly, a large group of children surrounded the two of them.

Looking at the eager child, Yun Xi pursed her lips and smiled, "Whoever can sing Two Tigers for me, I will give him candied haws!"

"Sing it twice and I'll give you a snack!" Yun Rou echoed.

This is a blessing, it's like pie in the sky! The two tigers were once a household name, and which child couldn't sing them?

Not only did these children start to sing, some of them even ran back to call their brothers and sisters to join them after they finished singing…
