Chapter 299 He will compete with the cubs for territory
The emperor and his entourage happened to run into the Minister of War, the Minister of Revenue and Prime Minister Li. When the three heard that something had happened at the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, they shamelessly followed.
The emperor thought that after the construction of the Imperial Master's Mansion, the concubines in the harem would not be able to move around there at will, so he did not stop them.
When the emperor hurried over, he saw the eunuch and palace guards who had led the troops there ahead of time were standing like petrified, standing like wooden stakes at the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion.
The emperor hummed in dissatisfaction.
The chief eunuch jumped over quickly and immediately prostrated himself at the emperor's feet, saying, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
The palace guards seemed to have just come to their senses and knelt neatly on the ground.
"Why are you standing there like an idiot?" the emperor frowned.
The chief eunuch said quickly, "Your Majesty, I dare not disturb the Imperial Master if I rush in at this moment."
The emperor was startled when he heard this. He no longer paid attention to the person kneeling on the ground, and strode towards the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion.
As soon as they climbed the stairs, an unexpected scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.
Hundreds of animals, big and small, sat neatly in a circle as if they were having a meeting. Yuanruan, who was surrounded by them in the middle, was holding a calico cat in her arms, with a puppy at her feet and a scarred wolf holding a wreath in its mouth resting its head.
emperor:?
What's up with these animals?
And this is... a wolf?!
The emperor looked at the eunuch who had chased after him with a cold look in his eyes and whispered, "What's going on? How could there be a wolf in the palace? And it was so close to Jiu'er. It deserves to die."
The eunuch knelt down trembling, and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This old servant deserves to die, but this, but this..."
At this time, the prince walked over slowly and whispered, "Father, calm down. This wolf is not dangerous."
The emperor paused, and suddenly remembered that Jiuer had the ability to fight back. The wolves could not hurt her, but the fact that they could not hurt her did not mean that the emperor would allow danger to appear around her.
The emperor looked dissatisfied and said, "Prince, you can't let Jiu'er be in danger just because you know how powerful she is."
The prince said helplessly: "Father, it's not what you think..."
He was just about to talk about Yuanruan's new magical power when the lone wolf over there sensed the hostile aura of the emperor and his entourage. It stood up suddenly, staring at the emperor with sharp and vigilant eyes.
Yuanruan was originally lying on his back against the wolf. When the wolf stood up, Yuanruan's center of gravity shifted backward and he rolled over.
"Jiu'er."
The emperor drew out his bronze shield and stepped forward.
Contrary to the emperor's expectations, the wolf did not run away in fear or wait for an opportunity to enter the palace. Instead, it made a "groaning" sound as if it had done something wrong, circled around Yuanruan twice, then lowered its head and picked up the back of Yuanruan's collar, allowing her to sit steadily again.
It was also at this time that the emperor saw clearly that the lone wolf had a roughly crafted wreath around its waist and a flower hanging from its tail, making it look like a domesticated one.
The emperor realized something immediately. He stepped forward and picked up Yuan Ruan. "Are you okay, Xiaojiu? Are you hurt?"
"No, father, look at it, it's so well behaved." Yuan Ruan knew that the emperor was the big boss who could decide the fate of the lone wolf.
She waved to the lone wolf behind her: "Come, pick up a flower and give it to father."
The words fell.
The lone wolf raised his head to look at the emperor again, gazing him up and down with sharp eyes, his dark blue pupils revealing a coldness that despised everything.
The emperor glanced down at the wolf, his slightly narrowed eyes revealing rejection.
Yuanruan is stuck in the middle: …
System: [Wow. As expected of a lone wolf who dares to challenge the Wolf King, your brother has the same aura as you, so strong.]
The corners of the mouths of those who could hear the inner voice twitched. This system actually compared His Majesty with the Lone Wolf. His Majesty must be angry!
They stole a glance and found that the emperor's gaze was even colder...
Oh, no, the emperor was not angry, but was observing.
Everyone looked again and found that it was the lone wolf who lowered his head first, picked up a flower directly from the head of the little cat next to him, stood up, and walked to the emperor with a brisk gait. The wolf looked at the emperor for a while before throwing the flower in front of the emperor.
At the same time, it growled softly at Yuanruan.
Yuanruan's expression was somewhat amusing: [It actually said that it recognized my brother and felt that he had the ability to hunt and raise me. Really... Phew, I don't know what to say. ]
System: [Hahahaha... As expected of a lone wolf who wants to be the wolf king! Caring for cubs, managing others... These are the standard responsibilities of a wolf king. ]
Yuan Ruan also found it somewhat amusing. She climbed down on her own initiative, picked up the small flower on the ground and placed it in the emperor's hand, saying, "Father, this is a gift from the wolf. It loves you, so it gave it to you."
The emperor's mouth twitched slightly, but he did not expose Yuanruan's language art. He just said "hmm" and took the flower casually in his hand.
At this moment, the parrot next to him suddenly flew over, flapped its wings in a circle, and said, "No! No! No! He will compete with the cubs for territory."
Everyone: ???
Yuan Ruan was also a little surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"
Parrot: "Because he sdl... stole the cub's milk...sdlkjhg..."
The parrot spoke some of its words in bird language, and people could not hear it clearly because of its sporadic nature.
But from Yuanruan's gradually changing weird expression and the two words "stealing milk", everyone's thoughts were diverted at that moment.
The court officials' eyes secretly lit up, but they had to pretend that they had not heard the gossip.
System: [Hahahahaha… The Seventh Prince was eating, but when he knew your brother was coming to the palace, he was afraid that he would be named by your brother for an assessment, so he didn’t even finish his meal and hurriedly got on the nearest carriage from the harem. As a result, he fell asleep while lying on his stomach, and didn’t wake up until the palace servants pulled the carriage out and parked it in the suburbs. After the Seventh Prince woke up, he cried loudly because of hunger… Hahahaha, it’s not too wrong to say that your brother stole my milk and my territory…]
Yuan Ruan also found it somewhat funny: [Okay, okay, I won’t say any more.]
The prince and his entourage breathed a sigh of relief: At least it wasn't a sex scandal.
The court officials were somewhat disappointed: That's it?! Although it is a bit interesting, it's not exciting enough.
At this time, the big yellow dog on the ground also barked twice.
"Yes. He is unreliable. I saw a child as old as Mengbao digging for food in the soil. He was so hungry that his face was pale and his body was thin. I feel that he is not a good leader."
Yuan Ruan was stunned.
System: [What? This big dog said that there are still princes and princesses as old as Yuanruan digging for food in the dirt? ]
Everyone: ???
That's impossible. The eighth and ninth princesses all live in the ministers' homes. There are no more similar babies in the palace.
A look of surprise flashed across the emperor's face.
Yuanruan touched his chin: [That's not right. Brother, you don't have children this old anymore.]
The system took a deep breath: [Hiss... Could it be that this is the illegitimate child born from a one-night stand between your brother and a palace maid? ]
emperor:……
The rest: Impossible, absolutely impossible! The emperor's entry into the harem would definitely be recorded.
But their determination and determination disappeared after they saw Qi Yue, the "Lost Pearl of the Canghai Sea". After all, the palace had its share of traps before.
Yuan Ruan shook his head repeatedly: [Impossible, this logic is wrong. If a palace maid succeeds in sleeping with the emperor, why hide it? It would be better to directly promote her to a beautiful concubine or something like that. My brother would not allow a palace maid to give birth to a child in the palace.]
System: [Oh. Maybe the maid already has a lover. For example, some very bloody situations. For example, your brother forced the maid after getting drunk. The maid thought about her lover outside the palace, so she sneaked away. In the end, she was abandoned because she didn't bleed during sex. The maid turned evil and decided to enter the palace as a concubine to avenge her lover. Then she returned to the palace to live a difficult life... When the child grows up, he will meet your brother outside the palace. Then everyone will say, how come this child looks so much like your brother, and then they will find out that they are father and son. Then the mother will be honored by the son, and your brother and the maid will start to be shameless...]
Yuanruan quickly called a halt, feeling very disappointed: [Stop, stop, stop! Tong'er, read less melodramatic romances, upgrade your code more, and strive to be a smart Tong who only gives out rewards without giving out tasks! ]
The system immediately went silent: [Okay, I won’t say any more. I’ll go get the code.]
The crowd eating melons:!!!
Wait, don’t get stuck at the most critical moment!
Even though it's fake, they still want to know what kind of bloody sparks will be created when the emperor and the palace maid reunite? ! It's so uncomfortable to be stuck in this mess. System, please finish the rest of the story.
