Chapter 646: Is the dog emperor out of his mind? Show your feelings!

The queen was so sleepy that she saw the dog emperor was energetic and serious. Didn't he mean she wasn't sleepy, but why was he not allowing her to sleep?

She is too lazy to celebrate the New Year.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to say? I am listening."

The emperor looked very serious, and was somewhat dissatisfied when he saw that the empress was so perfunctory.

"Come into my arms first."

The queen couldn't help but roll her eyes. She wondered what was going on so late at night.

She propped up her lazy body and moved to the side of the Dog Emperor.

After moving to his side, she raised her head and looked at the dog emperor, "Your Majesty, do you think I'm okay?"

The Emperor stretched out his arms, grasped the Empress's shoulders, and pulled her into his arms.

Queen: “…” Did the dog emperor take medicine again today?

The emperor then called out with satisfaction, "Ling'er."

The empress simply curled up in the emperor's arms, pulling the quilt along.

She discovered that every time the Dog Emperor called her Ling'er, his tone was different from when he called the Queen. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that there was an imperceptible tenderness when he called Ling'er.

"I am here."

The emperor looked down at the person in his arms and spoke slowly: "After the first month of the year, I will take you to Lingnan for a short stay."

The climate in Lingnan is much warmer than that in Beijing, making it a good place to escape the cold.

The Queen raised her head and looked at the Dog Emperor again, "Going to Lingnan? Is the Emperor free? Don't lie to me again."

The emperor paused when he heard this, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, he said he would take Ling'er to Lingnan for a short stay, but he didn't go because he was too busy.

Ling'er was angry and ignored him for three days.

He coaxed her for a long time before she calmed down and promised her that he would take her to stay with him for a while if he had the chance.

But as the king of a country, he is busy with all kinds of affairs and does not have much free time.

A promise, so many years late.

"This time it's true, because on the eighth day of the first lunar month, I plan to abdicate and let Yan'er inherit the throne."

The queen was stunned for a long time after hearing this, "Is the emperor really planning to abdicate?"

The emperor said seriously, "The edict has been drafted, how can it be false?"

The queen still couldn't believe it, "Are you really going to abdicate?"

Doesn't that mean she won't be able to scold the dog emperor in the future?

I've been used to scolding the Dog Emperor for so many years, and I'm really not used to him suddenly changing his tune.

The emperor said, "Well, really, haven't you always wanted to go out for a walk? Let's go out for a walk while we are still in good health."

The queen finally believed it, and thinking about the emperor taking her out for a trip, she couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

"I naturally support the emperor's decision, but I'm afraid those ministers will have something to say."

The emperor said, "If I claim I am not feeling well, there is nothing they can do. Besides, the prince's ability is obvious to all, and he will surely surpass me."

The Queen nodded, "The Crown Prince is indeed quite capable."

After the emperor finished his announcement, he stared at her seriously, "Ling'er, do you have anything to say to me?"

The queen blinked and asked in confusion, "What does the emperor want to hear?"

The emperor was somewhat dissatisfied. "Don't you have anything to say?"

The queen thought for a moment and said, "I am very happy."

The emperor asked, "What else?"

The queen thought for a moment and said, "I am very happy."

Emperor: “…” That’s it?

The emperor couldn't help but ask, "Ling'er, don't you think I'm the same as before?"

The Queen looked the Dog Emperor up and down. "How can they be the same? The Emperor is over 40 years old this year. When I married the Emperor, he was only 19 years old. He had no crow's feet, a strong body, bright eyes, and was very heroic when riding a horse..."

"Although the emperor has maintained his figure well, he has gained some weight since then."

The emperor's face darkened, "..."

The queen thought that what she said was very tactful, thinking back to the time when the dog emperor had said something very unpleasant.

The emperor was silent for a long time before he asked, "Ling'er, do you think I'm old?"

The Queen consoled him, "Your Majesty, we are both grandfathers and grandmothers now, so we are old, aren't we? Didn't you also despise me, a girl who was not even a teenager, and a girl who was not even a teenager?"

The emperor expressed doubt, "Did I say that? No way, how could I compare others with you?"

"Your Majesty has said so, and I heard it clearly."

The queen cleared her throat and told the Dog Emperor exactly what he had said that day, without missing a single word.

"Does the Emperor still remember?"

The emperor thought about it carefully, and finally remembered. He held the empress in his arms again and explained in a coaxing tone: "Ling'er, you misunderstood me. That's not what I meant."

The Queen looked at the dog emperor with a half-smile, "What does the Emperor mean?"

The emperor explained, "What I mean is that time flies. When I married you, you were only fifteen years old, still a naive girl. You have spent so many years with me, and you have grown from a girl to an older woman. In addition to leaving marks on your face, the years also prove that it is not easy for us to love and support each other until now."

The queen expressed her doubt, "Are you sure that's what you meant when you said that? I'm stupid, but that doesn't mean I'm dumb."

The emperor continued to explain, "If I disliked that your lips were not as tender as those of a teenager, why would I kiss you every time we were close? If I disliked that you were fat, why would I hold you in my arms every time I fell asleep? If I disliked that you had crow's feet, why would I stare into your eyes every time?"

"If I really dislike you, how could I not control myself towards you? I haven't picked up anyone else's name card in several years. Whenever I have time, I come to your Fengyi Palace."

The queen was stunned for a long time after hearing what the emperor said. After hearing what the emperor said, it seemed to be true.

The Heavenly Dog Emperor said that she had crow's feet and her skin was not delicate, but that hand kept touching her face.

He said that her lips were not as tender as those of a teenager, and then he bent down and kissed her.

Is she blaming the dog emperor?

"I will take what you say as the truth."

The emperor couldn't help but raise his voice, "What do you mean it's true? It's true!"

The queen hugged the dog emperor's waist and said, "I understand. The emperor has not abandoned me. I was just overthinking."

Only then did he calm down the excited Dog Emperor.

After saying this, the emperor and the empress went to rest.

But the emperor always felt something was wrong. Shouldn't it be a shocking and exciting thing for him to abdicate and take her out to play?

Why is Ling'er so calm? Not surprised at all?

The emperor turned his head to look at the person beside him and found that Ling'er had fallen asleep. Why was she different from what he had imagined?

It wasn't until the next day that he realized something was wrong.

New Year's Day

Taotao and Susu came to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning wearing new clothes. The queen played with the two babies for a while.

As a result, she got tired after playing snowball fight for a while and had to admit the fact that she was old.

The two little guys are very energetic and never feel tired.

Susu ran over, took the Queen's hand, and walked into the snow, "Grandma, let's play together!"

The queen looked at Susu's blushing face and said with a smile, "Grandma, you can't play anymore."

Susu thought for a moment and said, "Then Grandma Huang, take a rest and then play, okay?"

The queen smiled and nodded, "Of course."

Only then did Susu let go of the Queen's hand and turned around to play with Guoguo and Xiaoguoguo.

The queen looked at the three people in the snow. Time passed really quickly. Taotao and Susu were already over three years old.

"Ling'er."

The queen suddenly heard a familiar voice. She raised her head and saw Ye Chu walking slowly towards her. She stood up slowly with surprise in her eyes.

"Brother Ye, you're back?"

Ye Chu walked up to the Queen and stopped, looking at her intently, trying to find out how she had changed in the past three years.

"Well, after three years, you're still the same as before."

The Queen smiled when she heard this, "Brother Ye is the same. You seem to be younger after not seeing you for three years."

Ye Chu also laughed when he heard this, and after laughing for a while, he asked, "How are you doing?"

The queen said in a relaxed tone, "I'm fine, where's Brother Ye?"

"I'm fine too." Ye Chu paused here and said, "Does he treat you well?"

The Queen knew who Ye Chu was referring to. She had heard this sentence many times. Almost every once in a while, Ye Chu would come to ask her, "Is he treating you well?"

She knew that Ye Chu was worried that Xiao Qi would treat her badly, that she would be wronged, and that she would cry.

All these years, Ye Chu has been afraid that Xiao would ride on her.

"Brother Ye, he treats me very well, you don't have to worry."

Ye Chu paused when he heard this, "Really? He didn't let you suffer any injustice?"

The Queen said, "Of course, he has always treated me well, but due to his status, he had to do many things. I was too naive before, thinking that as long as I really loved him, I could treat him the same even if he was the Emperor."

"However, after staying in this deep palace for so many years, I finally understood that there are many things that I cannot control, and I cannot do things according to my own temperament. The palace trapped him, and it also trapped me."

Ye Chu said: "As long as you are willing, you can't be trapped."

The queen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are willing or not. Your heart is trapped. It's useless to leave."

When the emperor arrived, he saw the queen talking and laughing with a strange man.

When he looked carefully, he found that the man was the man who was in Fuyaoju three years ago.

Three years have passed, and he's still pestering Ling'er.

Ling'er is smiling so happily, could it be that she has feelings for him too?

No wonder she wasn't surprised, delighted, or shocked at all last night.

Instead it was very peaceful.

Did she know Ye Chu would come to see her?

I'm already a grandmother, but I still...

The emperor strode over, his face gloomy, "Empress."

When the queen saw the emperor coming, she stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty."

The emperor embraced the empress and brought her into his arms. Then he looked at Ye Chu and raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Ye, this is the imperial palace, not Fuyaoju. You can't come and go as you please."

Ye Chu said calmly: "This is indeed not Fuyaoju. Ling'er is like the owner there, and does not need to be bound by rules. The imperial palace is different. There are all kinds of etiquette and rules, and you are restricted."

The emperor frowned, "What's the matter, Master Ye?"

Ye Chu looked at the Queen, "Of course I came to visit Ling'er."

The emperor's face became even darker. He came to see the empress so blatantly and called her Ling'er all the time. Did you call her Ling'er?

He exerted force with his arms and pulled the empress back into his arms, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Chu, as if to prove that the empress was his and he could forget about it.

"Ling'er has me, so you don't need to worry about me, Master Ye."

The queen raised her head and looked at the dog emperor. Are you trying to strangle me to death?

The emperor ignored the accusing look from the queen and continued to look at his rival with a raised eyebrow.

Ye Chu said, "Ling'er and I have known each other for more than forty years, and I have been thinking about her for more than forty years. It has become a habit."

The emperor's eyes flashed with shock when he heard this. The man in front of him actually knew Ling'er earlier than him?

More than forty years?

He and Ling'er have not known each other for that long.

The Queen tugged at the dog emperor's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen Brother Ye for three years. Today is a rare opportunity for us to meet."

The emperor said, "The queen is right. After not seeing an old friend for three years, we should indeed catch up. However, the queen is my queen, and it is not right for her to meet with a man alone. I also know that Mr. Ye is the queen's friend. After not seeing each other for three years, there is naturally a lot to talk about. I just have nothing to do, so I am accompanying the queen."

Queen: “…”

Ye Chu: “…”

Finally, the emperor ordered people to prepare wine and food, and the three of them sat at a table.

For a moment, the three of them stared at each other.

Susu ran over, pointed at the chicken drumstick on the plate, and said, "Your Majesty, I want some chicken drumsticks."

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll pick it up for you." The emperor picked up the chopsticks, picked up the chicken leg and handed it to Susu.

Susu happily took the chicken leg and smiled, "Thank you, Grandpa."

After saying that, he couldn't wait to bring the chicken leg to his mouth and took a big bite.

The queen looked at Susu's lovely appearance and felt happy and proud, because she was her granddaughter.

"Brother Ye, do you still remember Susu? When you left, she was only three months old. Wasn't she very cute?"

Ye Chu lowered his eyes and looked at Susu, who looked very cute and lovable. He thought that three years ago, she was only three months old, and in the blink of an eye, she had grown up to this size.

“It’s really cute.”

Susu bit the chicken leg, raised her head and looked at Ye Chu, tilted her head and thought for a while, "Who are you?"

The Queen has always treated Ye Chu as her brother, so naturally his status is the same as hers.

"Susu, you should call him uncle."

Susu called out, "Uncle."

The pronunciation of the word "uncle" is not accurate, but it sounds childish, which makes people like it very much.

After Susu finished shouting, she ran out with the chicken leg.

Ever since the emperor came, the empress was no longer as comfortable talking to Ye Chu as before.

I was afraid that if I told the emperor, he would misunderstand me.

When Ye Chu left, the Queen actually had a lot to say.

For example, Brother Ye has been single for so long, it’s time for him to consider his personal issues.

For example, Brother Ye, have you seen Susu and Taotao? Aren't they cute? You should also find a wife as soon as possible so that you can have a pair of cute children.

Inside Fengyi Palace

The emperor paced back and forth in his bedroom.

The queen sat on the couch, drinking hot tea to warm herself, and watched the dog emperor walk back and forth for a long time.

"Your Majesty, please sit down and have a cup of hot tea."

The emperor stopped and looked sideways at the queen on the couch. He took a few more steps angrily, and finally sat down on the couch with his clothes lifted up. He picked up the teacup, brought it to his mouth and took a few sips.

I took two sips of hot tea and calmed down my unhappy mood.

"Ling'er."

The queen raised her eyes and looked at the dog emperor, "Your Majesty, I am here."

The emperor held his breath for a long time before uttering, "Do you still want to leave the palace?"

Queen: "Why does Your Majesty ask this?"

Is the dog emperor having a brain seizure again?

"You did it last time. You made me look for you so hard! Don't you know that I..." The emperor took two breaths in anger, and then said, "I'm ready to abdicate, and you're still thinking of leaving the palace?"
