Chapter 169 Want to be the Emperor
"Mother, is he really my biological father? Could it be a mistake?"
Asui's little face, which was covered with a large amount of brown ointment, was wrinkled and showed deep suspicion.
Yun Wan was changing his clothes. When she heard this, she couldn't help laughing. "Of course it's true. How could my mother make a mistake about such a big thing?"
Asui still had a frown on his face, looking deep in thought.
Yun Wan put a thick coat on him, removed his frizzy hair, lowered her head and asked softly, "Why do you ask that, dear? Don't you like His Majesty?"
“…Not really.”
Although His Majesty can be sarcastic sometimes, he is still the most powerful person he has ever met.
Ah Sui sat down and cooperated obediently, pouting, "It just feels weird. If this were the case, wouldn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and Pei Qian become my brothers?"
Unexpectedly, his focus was on this. Yun Wan couldn't help but laugh, "That's right, Asui is their little brother."
Asui sighed. How come even though he had a new father, he was still his younger brother?
And why did his biological father have other children? It was obvious that his mother only had him as her child.
Seeing that he looked bitter and resentful, Yun Wan combed his hair into two buns, making him look younger and more in line with his age.
"It's normal for Guaibao to be unable to accept it for the time being. Mother won't force it. We'll wait until Guaibao accepts it."
Asui: "Actually, I already knew that."
"Hmm? What did Guaibao say?" Yun Wan didn't hear clearly.
Asui held his chin in his hand and said truthfully, "I heard everything my mother and aunt said that day."
"But I didn't mean to eavesdrop. You didn't close the door, and I overheard it by accident," he emphasized.
That day, Asui originally wanted to go and say goodbye to Yun Wan, but when he saw that the door was not closed, he went straight over.
It's just that he was small and was blocked by the vase and the screen at the door, so the two adults who were talking excitedly didn't notice him.
After listening to this, Asui tiptoed away to study for the exam.
As soon as he explained, Yun Wan suddenly understood: "No wonder my mother seemed to me uneasy those days. His Majesty also said that you were weird and always staring at him. You just can't believe this fact, right?"
"Yeah!" Asui nodded.
He didn't know how to describe his complicated feelings. In short, he felt shocked, confused, sad, and indescribably happy.
Yun Wan touched his head. Asui's hair was like Emperor Jingxuan's, black, coarse, and the tips of his hair felt prickly to the touch.
"In fact, my dear, your eyes are the best evidence. Mother didn't lie to you. Your eyes are very similar to your father's."
She brought a small mirror and patiently explained it to him.
Ah Sui turned his head and snorted: "He used to say that my eyes were ugly."
He remembers clearly who said good or bad things about him.
Fortunately, Emperor Jingxuan just left, otherwise I would be heartbroken again.
Yun Wan's smile deepened. She was already used to the fighting between the father and son. It was either a big complaint or a small complaint.
To some extent, the two are worthy of being father and son.
"And Guaibao's peanut allergy. Actually, your father had the same problem when he was little, but he'll be fine once he grows up."
Ah Sui turned his head and asked curiously, "Then will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince also do it?"
After a pause, Yun Wan shook his head: "They won't."
When she thought about it carefully, she realized that she had never heard of the two of them having any dietary restrictions.
Ah Sui was unhappy, "Why do I have peanuts? I want to eat peanuts too."
Yun Wan: "...Maybe this is the power of blood."
Or in other words, both the good and the bad are inherited.
Bloodline?
Ah Sui's eyes suddenly lit up, "Mother."
He waved at Yun Wan and looked like he wanted to say something.
Yun Wan listened curiously—
"Mother, I want to be emperor too."
Asui said brightly.
Shocked, Yun Wan subconsciously looked towards the door. Fortunately, there was no one at the door. Emperor Jingxuan had left at some point, and the door was closed.
Turning back and meeting Ah Sui's distinct black and white eyes, Yun Wan opened her mouth, lowered her voice and asked cautiously, "Guaibao, why would you have such an idea?"
If the child was older and more mature, Yun Wan would not be so surprised if he said such words.
But he was only four years old, a little kid, and he said he wanted to inherit his father's throne just after knowing his life story?
Yun Wan was shocked and worried.
Asui: "Being an emperor is very prestigious. I can protect whoever I want to protect and do whatever I want."
This was the most intuitive feeling he got from Emperor Jingxuan, and it was deeply engraved in his mind.
As long as he became emperor, no one would dare to bully A Niang anymore.
Yun Wan frowned: "But being an emperor is a very hard and difficult thing, and it's not up to you or me to decide."
Ah Sui thought for a moment and asked, "Then who has the final say? Your Majesty?"
Yun Wan nodded: "Your Majesty and all the civil and military officials."
"Before you become emperor, you must first become the crown prince, the heir apparent of the Great Qi. But as you know, my dear, we already have a crown prince..."
Once there is a crown prince, as long as the court is stable, the country is secure, and the crown prince has no major moral faults, there is no possibility of him being deposed.
Ah Sui seemed to understand. He said, "Mother, since I am also His Majesty's child, does that mean I can also be the crown prince? As long as I do better than him?"
In his opinion, good things should belong to more capable people. For example, praise from a bachelor's degree in class can only be obtained by outstanding students.
Yun Wan: "That's true, but this path is very difficult. Being an emperor is difficult, and being a wise and upright monarch is even more difficult. It's even harder than studying for the imperial examinations. Do you understand?"
Ah Sui solemnly promised: "I am not afraid of hardship!"
Although he looks small, Yun Wan knows that he is just as persistent in some aspects, especially when it comes to making a decision, even ten oxen can't pull him back.
"My dear, do you really want to be the emperor?" She asked again with a serious expression.
Asui nodded without hesitation.
Yun Wan felt complicated and proud when she received his affirmative answer.
After a long time, she let out a long sigh, her expression became firm, as if she had made up her mind.
"Okay, Mommy got it."
She put her arms around Ah Sui and whispered, "Ah Niang will help you, but you can't tell anyone about this in the future, including your father, okay?"
Only by being reserved with each other can the relationship last long.
Yun Wan lowered her eyes, hiding the light in them, and said earnestly, "You can work towards this goal, but you can't say it out loud. From now on, you must do well, but not too well. You can work hard, but not too hard..."
Asui looked up and listened attentively.
Yun Wan: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand it for now. You will slowly understand it when you grow up."
Ah Sui: "This is a secret between me and my mother, right?"
"right!"
Concubine Li's son is narrow-minded and mediocre in qualifications. If such a person can become the crown prince, why can't her Asui?
