But he and Xu Lingyi were in love with each other, and he would never let her down. No matter what situation he considered, Xu Lingyi was more important.
"Useless people need these to check and balance them, but I, your son, don't."
Xiao Chengyou spoke coldly. Originally, he wanted to maintain the dignity between father and son, but the moment the emperor looked down on Xu Lingyi, Xiao Chengyou didn't want to tolerate him any longer.
"Furthermore, Your Majesty, why did you insist on making my mother your empress? According to what you said, my mother's status is not worthy of being your wife, let alone empress."
The emperor took a deep breath and said, "You unfilial bastard, how can she be compared with your mother?"
"I have no other intentions, but you cannot ask me to do something that you cannot do."
Xiao Chengyou lowered his eyes and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The emperor's original guilt towards him was greatly reduced because of his disobedience.
This was the first time Xiao Chengyou disobeyed him.
But he couldn't bear to blame his son, so he only blamed Xu Lingyi.
"This concubine of the Xu family is quite resourceful." The emperor sneered with a straight face.
Xiao Chengyou originally wanted to tell the Queen the news of Xu Lingyi's pregnancy first, and did not want the Emperor to know it first.
But the emperor is like this now, and Xiao Chengyou can't care about these things.
"Father, this has nothing to do with her."
Xiao Chengyou knelt down directly.
"She has deep feelings for me and has saved me from danger many times. She wouldn't mind being my wife or concubine. However, I don't want to put her and the child at risk. She's pregnant, so my child must not be a bastard."
The emperor was stunned, his hands trembling slightly, and the teacup he was holding fell and rolled on the wooden board of the carriage.
The emperor quickly stepped forward, helped Xiao Chengyou up, and held his shoulders. "You said Xu is pregnant? Is it true?"
The emperor couldn't believe it. He had never hoped that Xiao Chengyou would have any offspring.
Xiao Chengyou nodded, "It's absolutely true. How dare I deceive you with such a thing?"
"Good, good, good!" The emperor clapped his hands and laughed heartily.
"Please invite Xu over. I also want to meet this daughter-in-law."
Xiao Chengyou knew that this was an acknowledgement of Xu Lingyi's identity as the Crown Princess.
