Chapter 18
Xu Xiaoman landed on the ground with one hand to save his leg which was almost broken from the shock of falling from a high altitude. He just thought in his heart: It's over, it's over. How did this idiot Wang Yuanyuan know about it? He kept it secret so well.
That's impossible. Is Wang Yuanyuan trying to cheat him?
Jiu Qiansui propped himself up from the ground, pretending to be calm and asked, "What do you mean?"
What else can I say? Wang Yuanyuan wanted to laugh, and Xu Xiaoman almost laughed his teeth off, and then frowned deeply, "Which woman did the emperor have little Duofu?"
"Huh?" Xu Xiaoman was shocked and relieved. Fortunately, he pretended not to admit it.
"Why are you hahaing? You're like a toad. How stupid you are." Wang Yuanyuan turned around a few steps on the spot.
Xu Xiaoman yelled angrily: "Who is stupid? You are stupid."
"It must have been that year, the year you ran away. In fact, you and the prince had a secret agreement that you would cover up his affair. At that time, the prince was about to raise an army, and he was afraid of being implicated. That must be the reason why he asked you to pick up the child and put him under your name." Wang Yuanyuan figured out everything, and the more she spoke, the more it made sense.
Xu Xiaoman opened his mouth but no sound came out for a long time. He held his words back and waited to see what this idiot would say. If his belly hadn't been big and he had given birth to Duoduo, he would have believed it.
People are like this, as long as they are determined, everything can be resolved. Wang Yuanyuan stopped spinning and looked at Xu Xiaoman with regret, "You, how is that woman?"
"...No woman." Xu Xiaoman: There is no woman, only me, the eunuch.
Wang Yuanyuan: Okay, until now we are still covering up for His Majesty.
If Duo Xuanfu was present, he would definitely say: Wang Banban looks at his father like he is looking at a love-minded friend.
"That's gone, that's fine too."
"Oh, it doesn't matter what. Without a woman, Duoduo is my child." Xu Xiaoman interrupted, "You're just daydreaming."
Wang Yuanyuan showed an 'I understand' look.
Xu Xiaoman was speechless, and finally said: "Anyway, just wait and see. As time goes by, my Duoduo will grow up——"
"Your Majesty will wait until little Duofu grows up and then recognize his ancestors. It's good this way. You have raised little Duofu personally and he has special feelings for you. Your Majesty still values you." Wang Yuanyuan thought of this and felt that the emperor was not treating Xiaoman harshly and was also thinking about Xiaoman's future.
Xu Xiaoman: ...
I don't understand.
"I'm leaving now. Wang Yuanyuan, stop running around like a ghost and sleep more. Your mind is fuzzy. This is the result of not sleeping. Don't talk nonsense about what happened tonight. Otherwise, if the news gets out, I will not be able to protect you and will send you to exile in Wuzhou!"
Wang Yuanyuan: Thank you.
Xu Xiaoman felt guilty but also relieved to have escaped a disaster, so he went straight to Zichen Palace. He did not climb inside this time. His expression of "surviving a disaster" was too obvious, so Zhong Yun asked him what he encountered on the way here.
"Ah! No, no." Xu Xiaoman retorted too quickly.
Zhong Yun: That’s it.
He asked, but the fool would not say anything, so he did not ask. When Xu Xiaoman saw that Zhong Yun did not ask, he felt like he had a lot of things to say but had nowhere to say them - it was not easy to tell Zhong Yun about this matter, so he should just keep it to himself.
"Come here." Zhong Yun changed the subject and waved.
Xu Xiaoman then noticed that Zhong Yun was holding a pen and writing something. He muttered something like "Why is he still writing so late at night?" and when he got closer to take a look, he was silenced.
The Nine Thousand Year Old Man looked at Emperor Ningwu with red face.
On the large desk, there was a lifelike painting on rice paper with a dragon root painted on it.
Xu Xiaoman was too embarrassed to open his mouth, his earlobes were red and bleeding. People outside were praising Zhong Yun with nonsense words like "the son of the emperor born in heaven, the legitimate son of the empress", "a noble son of the queen" and so on. They praised Zhong Yun as a saint and a god with noble character.
These people should come and take a look!
What is Zhong Yun painting here?
No shame at all.
Zhong Yun said calmly, "This is a reward for you. Hang it on the bed in your room."
"It's like you're sick. Who would post this? Besides, I didn't say I liked it very much."
"Like cures like. If you see me more often, you will grow up."
Xu Xiaoman was suspicious and a little moved. Was it true? What if it was? So he hastily put it away, folded it, and stuffed it in his arms, which seemed to burn his chest. He put it on the table and pressed it with a paperweight, saying righteously, "I'm trying to save your face. You are an emperor. If you are found out drawing this, it will be terrible if it gets out."
"Thank you, Xiaoman, for taking care of me." Zhong Yun said with a smile.
The two of them exchanged a few words. Zhong Yun put down his brush and said, "I originally wanted to draw a kite for Duofu, but while I was drawing, I suddenly thought of you."
"Zhong Yun doesn't expose people's shortcomings when he scolds them. Do you want me to draw this?" Xu Xiaoman was angry.
What do you mean? His is only a small piece, but Zhong Yun drew such a big one.
Zhong Yun pulled Xiao Man into his arms and stroked her waist, coaxing her: "What on my body is not yours? I will serve you tonight, and I will make sure you are comfortable, okay?"
“…”What and what.
Then they both went to bed.
Zhao Erxi had brought people to guard the palace gate early in the morning. The emperor and the Ninth Prince rested for half a night, and it would take until late at night for them to get hot water. So he was a little absent-minded at this moment, still thinking about the suspicion he had in the Xuanzheng Hall.
There was a thumping sound nearby.
Zhao Erxi heard the sound and looked over. Xiao Luzi was holding his head and had just knocked his head. Zhao Erxi was upset and said in a low voice: "You kid, you were absent-minded and sneaky in the evening. What are you doing serving in front of the emperor? You have several heads, but they are not enough for you."
The master had been unfriendly to him a few days ago, and Xiao Luzi was also afraid, so he came over and begged for mercy in a low voice. Zhao Erxi was annoyed and thought that the master was becoming more and more tactless.
"Master, I'm not making excuses, there really is a reason." Xiao Luzi was also at a loss, he lowered his voice and said: "This evening, the disciple was serving the young master in the side hall, and the young master fell asleep. After the emperor finished discussing politics and returned to the warm room, he saw that the young master was sleeping without a cover-"
Zhao Erxi glared at Xiao Luzi, he was really blind, he looked smart before.
Xiao Luzi said hurriedly: "I took the blanket and brought it forward. I heard the young master calling 'Dad'. The emperor was stunned for a moment, but he didn't get angry. He seemed to respond. I didn't hear it clearly. Master, you said..."
Zhao Erxi's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Xiao Luzi sharply.
Xiao Luzi was so frightened that he dared not to continue.
"I think you really don't want the head anymore."
Xiao Luzi knelt on the ground without daring to beg for mercy or speak. After a long while, Zhao Erxi said, "You'd better suppress what you just said and the little thoughts that have arisen in your mind. Don't even think about moving. Get up."
Don't blame Zhao Erxi for being suspicious; he has been serving the emperor for more than ten years.
Your Majesty and the Ninth Prince are good friends. Your Majesty also favored Little Duofu before, but it was also within the "rules". Zhao Erxi understands that loving someone means loving their dog, but Your Majesty's heart is cold. It's really different for him to spoil Little Duofu like he does today.
Especially Xiaoluzi's words...
In the bedroom, Zhong Yun was tired and held Xiao Man who was sleeping in his arms. He stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Man's nose. Xiao Man whined and complained, so Zhong Yun let go of her hand and asked in a devilish whisper: "Who did you meet tonight?"
"That fool Wang Yuanyuan guessed that the cub is yours."
After saying that, the sleeping Jiu Qian Sui thought of something happy, "Hahahaha, even if I let him guess for eight hundred years, that big idiot still can't guess that Duoduo is my child, hahahaha."
A burst of laughter.
Also very proud and complacent.
Zhong Yun: When I am speechless, I will have a funny expression.
This big fool is really my big fool.
…
"I want to blow up the school - no, I want to go to school and be there every day."
Manyu Fu hummed the nursery rhyme and sang the version of bombing the school. He immediately changed his ways and said that he didn’t need to bomb the school today because once he started school today, he would have a holiday tomorrow!!!
Happy!
Wang Yuanyuan followed the young master with dark circles under her eyes.
Xuanyuefu had the beef and sauerkraut box today. It was crunchy on the outside and full of fillings on the inside. It was very fragrant. He also had the low-sugar version of milk black tea to drink.
Jiu Qiansui sent his son to school with the same breakfast in his pocket.
"Dad, we are going out to play tomorrow. Have you made the kite? Do you want me to do it after I finish my homework today?" Xuanyufu asked after taking a sip of milk tea.
Jiu Qiansui almost choked, and his chest and face felt hot when he thought of it.
"Yeah, Dad remembers it." He said vaguely.
Xuan Fu was surprised to see his father blushing. He just asked why his father was shy about making a kite, and he didn't say anything else that was inappropriate for children. So, forget it, he decided not to look at it too much, otherwise his father would feel embarrassed.
So he hummed the nursery rhyme again without following the tune.
Xu Xiaoman fell back a few steps, looking at the back of his kid who was jumping happily. He gritted his teeth in his heart and cursed Zhong Yun over and over again. It was all Zhong Yun's fault. How could the dragon root kite he drew fly into the sky?
Wait until the baby is sent to the gate of Chongming Hall.
Jiu Qiansui stopped and said, "Go ahead. Dad won't come to pick you up today. You can go back by yourself after school."
"Father, can I go to the Xuanzheng Palace to play?"
Xu Xiaoman probed: "Do you like His Majesty very much?"
"Father, the food cooked by the royal chef is delicious. There is also a lot of sweet soup."
After coming back from digestion last night, the hodgepodge was renamed, and the father and son decided on their own name.
Xu Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that his son would lack the love of another father. So this was the reason. He said, "Then ask Wang Yuanyuan to go and ask. If the emperor is busy in the Xuanzheng Hall, you should not go."
"I understand, Dad."
Xuan Futong's father waved goodbye and went in.
Xu Xiaoman did not stop, and when he could no longer see Duoduo's back, he hurried to Xuanzheng Hall. He had to tell Zhong Yun that he was not allowed to draw the kite noodles randomly this time.
Wang Yuanyuan withdrew her gaze. Xu Xiaoman was really disappointing and fell on the man.
never mind.
They are all eunuchs now, so just let Xu Xiaoman do what he wants. Wang Yuanyuan looked up at the sky without any desire or expectation.
Xuan Fu came early today. Before the bell rang, he put down his schoolbag and ran to find Li Ang. He started to show off as soon as he opened his mouth: "Li Ang, tomorrow is a day off. My father wants to take me out to fly a kite and climb trees to pick dates."
"Wow." Li Ang also applauded.
"Are you going out to play tomorrow?"
"I want to study at home."
Xuanyu Fu: ...This is too much of a love of studying.
Zhong Zikai heard it and snorted sarcastically.
Xuanyu Fu turned his head and looked over. "You have no fatherly love, so you are jealous of me to the point of madness? My father takes me out to play, so your father won't take you with him."
"I'm jealous of you? Haha, your father only took you to climb a few broken jujube trees. That's nothing. My father always took me to the farm to play horseback riding."
"Have you ever been to the Royal Summer Resort?"
"I'm jealous of you. Haha, that's hilarious. Who would be jealous of a eunuch's adopted son?"
Xuanyu Fu curled his lips calmly: "I only have one question, and you have given me so many answers."
He flashed, and Zhong Zikai used all his skills to break the defense.
At the other end, inside the Xuanzheng Hall.
Jiu Qian Sui told Emperor Ning Wu something serious: "The kite face painting should be serious but not too ordinary. I promised Duoduo that it should be novel, but not as novel as yours last night, where Duoduo could fly into the sky. And you can make a kite, right?"
Emperor Ningwu assured: "Yes."
"I'll release two, one will be a blessing tomorrow, you and I will release one."
"It depends on how well you do. If you do it well, I'll take you with me." The Ninth Thousand Year Old was very arrogant. He withdrew after assigning the task to Emperor Ningwu because he still had things to do.
The author has something to say:
Duozai: I will go to the hospital tomorrow~
