Chapter 170 Father and Son Get Along
The dinner was particularly sumptuous, and all of it was Asui's favorite.
But perhaps because he had experienced too much today and received too much information, he had a poor appetite. He only ate half a bowl of rice and went back to the room to wash up and go to bed.
As for Emperor Jingxuan, he never heard him call him "Father" again, and he felt disappointed and couldn't even concentrate on reading the memorials.
Yun Wan finished bathing, wrung out her hair, and came to him with a fragrant body. "Your Majesty, are you still thinking about Asui?"
Emperor Jingxuan immediately threw the memorial aside and embraced her in his arms.
His eyes dimmed under his collar, and without a word, he buried his head in them and said vaguely, "My son doesn't forgive me, and I am heartbroken."
Yun Wan inserted her jade fingers into his black hair, lowered her head and teased, "What should we do? Summon the imperial physician to take a look?"
Emperor Jingxuan raised his head, his lips crimson and a hint of roguery at the corner of his mouth, "Madam is my miracle doctor."
He grabbed Yun Wan's hand and put it under his collar, saying seriously, "Madam, rub it and it won't hurt."
Unfortunately, his wife was having her period, so he could only have a brief taste.
Yun Wan rolled her eyes at him, but cooperated by rubbing his chest muscles because he was not liked by her son. She felt her palms pressed against his chest muscles gradually stiffening and tightening.
Emperor Jingxuan: "And my arm is very sore."
Meeting her puzzled look, he tutted, "Our son has some weight."
Holding him in one hand for a long time in the Hongwenguan, and keeping the same posture, Emperor Jingxuan found it a little difficult even though he was strong.
But under the pressure of being a father and the emperor's majesty, he persisted, and now only one hand is left with soreness.
Yun Wan curled her lips and said softly, "A Sui is a child with a hard mouth but a soft heart. Your Majesty, please be patient and coax him."
Emperor Jingxuan was in a good mood as he enjoyed his wife's caress. "He did well in the final exam. I want to reward him. I wonder if our son will accept it?"
Emperor Jingxuan had been on the throne for more than ten years and had been a father for a long time, but this was the first time he had been so cautious, fearing that his son would not accept the gifts he had given him.
Yun Wan: "Yes, I can see that Asui really cares about you."
If Asui wasn't someone he didn't care about, he wouldn't be so angry.
Perhaps in Asui's heart, she had already regarded the man in front of her as half a father, so she felt so conflicted when the truth came out.
After pondering for a moment, she said slowly, "I will go to Huipin's place tomorrow. You can take Asuiduo with you. If you have anything to say, explain it to him in person. He will understand your intentions."
Knowing that she was creating an opportunity for them to spend time together, Emperor Jingxuan took her hand and placed it against his lips, "Madam, you really do care about me."
Yun Wan sat in his arms, her brows knitted slightly, a hint of worry in her eyes: "I heard that you had the Prince of Pingnan thrown into the Heavenly Prison on suspicion of treason. Will his soldiers... rise up in rebellion?"
"No." Emperor Jingxuan said firmly.
He chuckled softly, his eyes as cold as ice: "If they start a rebellion, Guo Quan will surely die."
Now that Prince Pingnan's family is in the capital, his men would never dare to act rashly.
Any unusual movement would confirm Guo Quan's intention to rebel.
He picked up a strand of hair that was stuck to her neck, his eyes dark and difficult to read: "I'm just locking him up for a few days to give others a chance."
Because Guo Quan had no children in his early years, he adopted many adopted sons, all of whom were ambitious and not a worry-free master.
If Guo Quan met with an accident, his adopted sons would naturally not sit idly by and wait for death. They would probably have already taken over the power and divided up Guo Quan's power in Nanshu.
Among them, of course, there are people from Emperor Jingxuan.
By the way, take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate the Prince of Pingnan's Palace.
How could Guo Quan be a clean person if he could raise a son like Guo Xiong?
........
The next day, seeing Yun Wan about to go out, Ah Sui, without even having time to wash up, ran over with disheveled hair, hugged her legs, raised his little face and said, "Mother, I'm going out with you!"
Yun Wan reached out to support him: "A Niang is going to discuss important matters with Empress Hui, what are you doing there?"
After a moment of hesitation, Asui said, "Then I'll stay in the house and read."
Yun Wan shook his head seriously: "No, it's a holiday now, you should have a good rest and have fun, otherwise you will become a little nerd."
Asui's face fell instantly.
Yun Wan coaxed him gently: "Be good, go with your father today, he has something important to tell you."
Asui glanced at Emperor Jingxuan at the door, met his expectant eyes, and turned his head quickly.
Emperor Jingxuan could not help but feel disappointed.
Noticing his awkwardness, Yun Wan thought for a moment and then lowered her head and whispered something in Asui's ear.
Asui's eyes suddenly brightened.
He nodded to Yun Wan, turned towards Emperor Jingxuan, stopped in front of him, held out his hand and said proudly, "I'll go with you today!"
Emperor Jingxuan did not hold his hand, but bent down and picked him up.
The field of vision suddenly became wider, instantly attracting Asui's attention. He blinked and rested his chin on his shoulder.
"Remember to dress him in more clothes before you go out. It's not too late to take them off once you get home." Yun Wan reminded him.
Emperor Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and said in a solemn voice, "Don't worry, Madam. I will take good care of him."
Seeing his solemn promise, Yun Wan became even more worried.
But with Eunuch Jiang and the palace maids around, things can't get any worse.
After Yun Wan left, Emperor Jingxuan turned around and entered the hall holding Asui.
The palace maid brought a hot towel for Asui to wash, and then applied medicine again.
Under Asui's strong protest, the brown ointment from yesterday was replaced with a milky white ointment with a slower effect. After being applied on his face, it became transparent and colorless, making his little face look still handsome.
The palace maid changed Asui's clothes, and Emperor Jingxuan came forward and said, "I am here."
The warm fleece jacket inside has been put on, and all that’s left is to tie the belt.
Emperor Jingxuan took the ink-colored leather jade belt from the palace maid, bent down, and Asui raised his arms and cooperated very well.
Some adults don't use enough strength to strangle children, causing them to gasp for air.
Emperor Jingxuan, unaware of the seriousness of the problem, warned: "Stand up straight and breathe in."
Until Asui's voice came faintly: "...I can't breathe."
The palace maid beside him couldn't bear to watch and whispered, "Your Majesty, the baby's belly is round, no, you can't squeeze it too hard."
And it is solid and cannot be retracted by taking two breaths.
The hand holding the belt froze, and Emperor Jingxuan patted Asui's belly, "...It's quite strong."
"."
After finally getting dressed, the next step is to comb my hair.
As soon as Emperor Jingxuan took action, he pulled out two strands of Asui's hair.
Hearing his son gasp in pain, he awkwardly returned the comb to the palace maid.
After everything was dressed, Asui came before Emperor Jingxuan and said word by word with a stern face: "Although your technique is terrible, thank you anyway."
Emperor Jingxuan felt relieved and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Still don't want to call me father?"
Asui said nothing.
Emperor Jingxuan sighed, said nothing more, picked him up again and walked out.
Sitting on his arm, looking at his deep and resolute eyebrows, Asui lowered his eyes and muttered softly:
"...Thank you, Father."
His steps suddenly stopped, and Emperor Jingxuan was ecstatic, "My dear son!"
He lifted Asui up and weighed him, and the child was so frightened that he put his hands tightly around his neck.
The palace maids behind him looked at each other and smiled.
Emperor Jingxuan: "What did your mother say to you just now?"
Ah Sui shook his head and said mysteriously, "This is our secret, we can't tell you."
"Even Father can't do that."
A'niang said that if one wanted to be a good emperor, he must first learn how to handle state affairs, so she asked him to follow the past to see how His Majesty handled it and gain experience.
Asui thought it made sense.
In the Qinzheng Hall, as soon as the father and son entered the hall, Jiang Fusheng came to report in a hurry:
"Your Majesty, several gentlemen request an audience."
