Uncle Gu took General Peng, Prime Minister Huo, and Third Master Huo to play mahjong. Now, only the Emperor and a few others are in the dining hall. They don't plan to play cards; they just want to sit down and continue drinking.
Even Xue Qianyu, Peng Ze, Cheng Huaijin, Gu En, and the others went to the daycare center.
Playing cards isn't fun; it's just something adults do to pass the time when they're bored.
The emperor was skeptical of what Uncle Gu and Gu Shouxin said, but he didn't intend to try it, thinking he knew that the two fools, Duke Cheng'en and Prince Kang, would definitely give it a shot.
So the emperor suggested, "King Kang, brother-in-law, how about this? I'll provide you with a place in the palace, and you can try it out starting tomorrow night?"
Without thinking, Prince Kang immediately asked, "Your Majesty, what about you? If you're not going to try, why should we?"
Duke Cheng'en nodded somewhat hesitantly.
The main reason is that I've known Uncle Gu for several years and I understand him well. He's a rather stubborn person and wouldn't lie, and he doesn't seem to be that timid, so it's very likely to be true.
The Emperor glared at him: "You think I don't want to? Do you think I dare? If the Empress doesn't see me for a day, she'll miss me. If she asks my grandmother about it, won't I get scolded by her? Princess Consort Kang doesn't look for you, so my grandmother probably doesn't even know what you've been up to! And your brother-in-law and sister-in-law don't like to talk to you either. If you don't come home for three days, A-Yu won't even ask about you. So, if you don't show up, no one will ask about you."
Kang Wang Chengen Gong: "..."
You can't be treated like this! You think you're so great just because you're the emperor?
Uncle Gu laughed heartily, "I'm different in this respect. My parents, unless I have something important to do, will look for me if they don't see me at night. My wife is the same. Don't let her seemingly silly appearance fool you, she can't live without me. Even though I don't really like her, she can't bear to be apart from me! And my second brother is even more so. If he doesn't go back to his sister-in-law's place for one night, he probably won't be able to go back again!"
Gu Shouxin nodded: "Yes, Big Brother is right. My Xiaolian can't sleep well without me!"
Kang Wang Chengen Gong: "..."
I don't want you two to be so lovey-dovey.
The Emperor said in a good mood, "Prince Kang, Duke Cheng'en, it's settled then. I'll have someone clean this place up when I get back to the palace tonight, and it'll definitely be ready by tomorrow night. Remember to come! You two can have a contest to see who can last the longest. The winner can choose a treasure from my treasury. Of course, you must last at least twelve hours. If neither of you can even last twelve hours, then don't even think about the treasures in my treasury."
Upon hearing about the treasures in the Emperor's treasury, Prince Kang and Duke Cheng'en shamelessly became tempted.
These two guys used to be womanizers when they were young, but later they stopped liking women and started liking all sorts of treasures.
Once they agreed, the emperor asked Uncle Gu what the little dark room was like. Uncle Gu had a vivid memory of it, as Gu Shouxin had personally built it. Before he transmigrated, he had placed the little dark room in the palace, so he provided the emperor with a lot of advice.
The emperor originally didn't want Prince Kang and Duke Cheng'en to hear it, but Gu Shouxin and Uncle Gu both said it was alright. Even if they knew what was going on, they would still be afraid when the time came.
However, the more Kang Wang and Cheng En Gong listened, the more they felt that persisting for three days was no problem. For the sake of the treasure, they even asked the Emperor if they could each choose one item if they both persisted for three days.
