Chapter 214 The Little Emperor's Thoughts
Jiang Xinyu was used to seeing Ye Xiaofei's domineering and arrogant look, so it was quite novel to see this guy looking like an abandoned boy.
It looks a bit like a stray cat, with its ears drooping.
In the past, she would probably tease him a little, but this time Jiang Xinyu was serious for once.
After all, she also read Jin Zekang's intelligence.
This kid really lived up to Xiao Yuan's kindness in raising him, and he really treated his godfather as his own father.
When the Governor's Mansion was sealed off, Ye Xiao was also arrested and thrown into jail and tortured.
Even with Xiao Yuan's men taking care of him, he still received many beatings.
As a result, as soon as he was released, he worked tirelessly to find clues and interrogate prisoners in order to avenge Xiao Yuan. He was exhausted.
Not to mention adopted sons, there are very few biological sons who can achieve this level.
Anyway, Jiang Xinyu had no confidence in raising such a filial son, and her liking for Ye Xiao also increased sharply.
Besides, it was indeed Xiao Yuan who was wrong this time. Jiang Xinyu comforted Ye Xiao while quickly asking someone to invite Xiao Yuan back.
Seeing that Jiang Xinyu didn't argue with him like before, Ye Xiao started to talk more, and asked depressedly why Xiao Yuan didn't tell him about the fake death.
Even if he had done something wrong before, his filial piety towards his adoptive father had never changed. Could it be that his adoptive father suspected that he had betrayed him?
Jiang Xinyu touched her nose awkwardly, "That's definitely not the case, Xiao Yuan said he didn't tell you because he was afraid you couldn't act.
Think about it, can the effect of crying be the same if your father really dies or if you pretend that your father has died?
What if you cry insincerely and others see it?
Everyone in the capital knows that you, Ye Twelve, are the most filial and obedient. If even you are not sad, then you will be exposed in no time."
That is, his most filial stepfather!
Hearing Jiang Xinyu praising him for being filial, Ye Xiao's tail fluttered again. He looked at Jiang Xinyu with a smug look on his face, which made his hands itchy.
No, hold back, don't be impatient.
It is normal to feel pity when seeing a pitiful child, but it is absolutely abnormal to want to give a big helping to a happy child when seeing him/her happy.
What's wrong with this!
Could it be that living in this unfortunate palace for too long has affected her mental state? Why does she feel like she is going to become a pervert?
At this moment, the little emperor came, calling "Sister Yu" and flying into Jiang Xinyu's arms like a happy little bird.
Jiang Xinyu took him and spun him around in a circle, pinched his little face and asked him why he was so happy.
Jin Zeyu kept pouting, saying that the tutor praised him for his progress in schoolwork and that his sixth brother gave him a new toy.
Of course, the happiest thing is that I have finished my homework and can come and play with Sister Yu.
Jiang Xinyu realized that she was not a pervert who couldn't bear to see children happy.
Seeing that Xiao Ba was happy, she had no intention of making him cry.
The problem lies with Ye Xiao. Ultimately, this guy is unlovable and unlovable.
The little emperor would not wear the dragon robe unless it was a formal occasion. It had too many embroidered patterns and was made of too much gold and silver threads, making it too tiring to wear.
Ye Xiao had never met the little emperor before, and seeing how intimate he was with Jiang Xinyu, he didn't think of him as the emperor at all.
He thought this was the child that Jiang Xinyu was going to adopt, and he immediately felt unwell.
It turns out that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. The words of comfort to myself are all perfunctory.
The reason why his adoptive father didn't think of him for so many days was because he cared about his son.
The family of three lives in the palace and never goes back home, leaving me all alone.
He was abandoned, and his adoptive father might separate him from his family in a few days.
Ye Xiao pursed his lips at the sight of the little thing acting cute and adorable in Jiang Xinyu's arms.
Can't argue!
He is such a grown-up, if he dares to act like a spoiled child in front of his adoptive father, he will probably be slapped against the wall and forced to climb up.
Especially since this little guy has Jiang Xinyu whispering in his ear, his adoptive father will definitely dislike him more and more in the future.
While Ye Xiao was feeling sorry for himself, Jin Zeyu had already jumped down and was looking around like a little hamster, not knowing what he was looking for.
"Sister Yu, didn't you say your son is here?
Where is my little brother? Can he play with me?"
Jiang Xinyu was stunned for a moment, then she covered her stomach and burst into laughter.
Where did this little brother come from? There is a little rooster with black body and drooping ears.
In fact, the little emperor cannot be blamed.
After school, he asked about Jiang Xinyu when he didn't see her. When he heard that it was Mrs. Xiao's son who came, he immediately rushed over.
The boy felt insecure and subconsciously feared that Jiang Xinyu would only play with her own son and ignore him.
Whether it was the cute and coquettish behavior just now or the kindness shown to the "little brother" now, there is an element of acting.
It's a pity that my lack of knowledge caused an oolong.
He thought Jiang Xinyu was younger than his mother and therefore assumed that her son was younger than him.
To the point that when he saw Ye Xiao was so big, he lost control of his expression.
He said that he always felt something was wrong and he forgot that Sister Yu was Governor Xiao's wife.
Master Xiao is a father-in-law, and father-in-law cannot give birth to babies.
The so-called Sister Yu's son is just Governor Xiao's adopted son and is not Sister Yu's biological son at all.
What? He was worried for nothing.
Not only did the little emperor misunderstand Ye Xiao, he also misunderstood. He looked at the little guy with a sour face and murderous intent.
As a result, after Jiang Xinyu introduced him, he realized that this was the emperor, and he was so scared that he knelt on the ground to salute.
He was only a fifth-rank official in the Dongchang Army, and even though his adoptive father was a powerful minister with great influence in the government, he did not dare to be rude to the emperor.
The little emperor didn't care so much, or perhaps he hadn't quite adapted to the change in his status.
Knowing that this was Governor Xiao's adopted son, he didn't blame him for glaring at him just now. After he stood up, he didn't forget to look at him several times.
After the appraisal, it’s better to be cute yourself!
Besides, he is already so old, so he definitely cannot be held by Sister Yu. Sister Yu is not going to have a baby, so she must be best with herself.
Jin Zeyu is young but very smart. It is true that he likes Jiang Xinyu, but he also has his own little thoughts.
Since my fourth brother was unwilling to be the emperor when my father clearly stated that he would abdicate, it is highly likely that he will not compete with me in the future.
Otherwise, he would have ascended the throne long ago and there would be no need for this unnecessary effort.
Governor Xiao was another minister who assisted the government in holding great power.
If he wants to be in power in the future, he will have to ask Governor Xiao to return power to him.
Even as a child he knew that power is a good thing.
Few of the ministers were willing to give up their power.
Even if he has someone to help those people return power, there will be a lot of conditions waiting for him.
The most common way is to marry their daughter or granddaughter to ensure their family's wealth.
But Governor Xiao is different.
Since Governor Xiao is a eunuch, he cannot have any biological children and can only adopt adopted sons.
Anyway, we are not related by blood, so it doesn't matter who you raise. Isn't it the same to raise him?
He likes Sister Yu and Sister Yu also likes him.
He could secretly acknowledge Governor Xiao as his adoptive father, and in that case Sister Yu would also be his adoptive mother.
Governor Xiao helped him consolidate his power, and Sister Chao Yu helped him subdue the group of arrogant and domineering concubines in the harem.
He just studied literature and martial arts and let them grow up well, and when he took power he would take care of them in their old age.
After all, he is the emperor, which is better than them adopting a few little eunuchs.
Jin Zeyu has a lot of little ideas, but due to his limited knowledge, many of them are quite ridiculous.
Regardless of anything else, I have never heard of an emperor recognizing a eunuch as his adoptive father.
No eunuch in power would be foolish enough to adopt the little emperor as his adopted son and raise him with all his heart as if he were his own son.
It was fine when he was young, but once he came to power, no emperor would tolerate the stain of recognizing a eunuch as his father.
This is human nature. The more you pay, the more miserable your death.
