Chapter 15 The delayed affection is cheaper than grass
Hearing Xiaojiu's timid question, the queen had to hold back her laughter. That's right, His Majesty's smile is so fake, how could a child not find it scary.
Seeing the chubby little girl secretly rubbing against her back, the queen thought it was both cute and funny, and reached out to touch her furry little head.
The smile on Emperor Wen Zhao's face froze. What nonsense is this kid saying? Why is he laughing so scary?
After hearing Ji Jinyou's question, the system carefully read the plot for a long time before replying with certainty: [I don't know. There is no mention of this in today's plot.]
Upon hearing that this was something that was not in the plot, Ji Jinyou felt excited but also a little worried, and his two chubby hands that were grabbing the hem of the Queen's skirt tightened unconsciously.
[Everything, why do I feel that things seem to be different today, but I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.]
The little girl's voice was childish, but her expression was very mature and fluent, which made Emperor Wen Zhao particularly proud.
His son Xiaojiu is just like him in this respect. When he was a child, he could write poems at the age of three and essays at the age of five.
If she could invite two famous scholars to teach her carefully, Xiaojiu would surely become a talented woman famous all over the world in time. Just thinking about it made him feel proud.
Thinking of this, Emperor Wen Zhao felt happy from the bottom of his heart and his smile became much brighter.
Ji Jinyou hid behind the empress's legs and secretly looked at Emperor Wen Zhao. She saw that for some reason, the smile on his face suddenly became genuine and he looked much more pleasing to the eye. She felt slightly relieved.
[It seems that His Majesty's decision to keep me here should be a good thing. He should not hit me or scold me.]
Emperor Wen Zhao was an extremely strict father. He often had a stern face in front of the princes and princesses. If the princes made any mistakes, they would be punished by kneeling at the very least and by being beaten with a stick at the worst.
The princesses were weak and timid, which was better. They were never beaten, but almost all of them were scolded.
Even the Seventh and Eighth Princesses, who usually acted very naughty in front of the Empress and the Royal Consort, were extremely restrained in front of the Emperor, and were as quiet and well-behaved as two little lambs.
Therefore, Ji Jinyou was still very afraid of this father. When she was trying to change the plot, she never thought of looking for opportunities with him.
Seeing Ji Jinyou's worry, the system answered with certainty: [Of course not, Youzi is so cute, how could he have the heart to hit or scold you. ]
[That's fine.] Ji Jinyou felt that it was not polite to hide like this all the time, so he quietly moved away.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Wen Zhao hurriedly extended his hand: [Xiao Jiu, come here, father.]
Ji Jinyou raised her little head to look at the queen. She didn't really want to go over there. Compared to this scary emperor, she preferred to stay with the sweet-smelling, beautiful and gentle queen.
The queen also noticed it, squatted down, took the little kid into her arms and hugged him: "Little Jiu, your father is calling you, go quickly."
As he said that, he gently pushed Ji Jinyou towards the emperor.
Ji Jinyou didn't want to waste any more time, so she walked over slowly without saying a word. She just tilted her little head, blinked her big dark eyes, and looked at Emperor Wen Zhao quietly.
Emperor Wen Zhao was very happy when he saw this, and said to the Empress with a smile: "Your Majesty, look, Xiaojiu is so calm at such a young age, and has quite the demeanor of me when I was young. She is indeed worthy of being my biological child."
If biological children are useful, then why don’t you make those unpromising ones better? The queen complained inwardly.
But she always gave the emperor face, and nodded in agreement with a smile: "Who says it's not true? All of our children are good, and it's all thanks to your majesty."
Emperor Wen Zhao liked what he heard and laughed, "Why do I feel like you are mocking me?"
The queen glared at him and said, "How can that be possible? I am not the royal concubine."
Thinking of the Imperial Concubine who always choked people to death, Emperor Wen Zhao felt a heart attack and reached out to hold the Empress's hand: "The Empress is still considerate."
Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, Ji Jinyou automatically stepped aside and said, "Trust, do you think His Majesty really loves the Queen?"
System: [There was true love before, but it seems that there is not much. Otherwise, the old emperor would have treated the empress coldly for a long time because of a conflict between the empress and a concubine, causing the empress to die of depression. When the old emperor came to his senses, it was too late to regret. It can be said that belated love is worth less than grass.]
