Ning Guanyan was truly surprised.
He never imagined that His Majesty, who was said to be a jinx, would one day say such a thing.
And like every first-time father, she cautiously asked him, "Am I doing the right thing?"
Am I doing it right to love my child unconditionally?
Ning Guanyan laughed. He did not answer Emperor Chongle's question, but said to Emperor Chongle, "I think the young prince should also be very fortunate to be here and to be Your Majesty's child."
How could Emperor Chongle not be a unique existence for Qianyuan today?
Emperor Chongle lowered his head and, for the first time, genuinely smiled.
"Really? That's good."
When Qianyuan woke up, she found herself back in the palace.
Moreover, the palace servants had already been tempered by the cub and developed strong hearts, so they adapted to the cub's new appearance at a very fast pace. However, they were still unable to adjust their attitude towards the little prince for a while.
After all, the little prince was just a toddler a few years old before, but now he has turned into a teenager overnight.
They often spoke to the young prince in the same hushed tone they used when dealing with the servants in their palace.
But the young prince wasn't angry; he was just a bit shy, like many young people.
As she grew up, Qian Yuan had to put on an act in front of outsiders.
So unlike when he was little, he doesn't constantly seek out his father for affection or pats, nor does he whine when he can't eat his favorite sweet cakes and candied fruits, and he certainly won't suddenly transform into a dragon and crawl into his father's arms.
And most importantly, never whine and complain to your father about schoolwork every day after school, or try to resist going to school in any way.
But when he sat upright and looked at Ning Guanyan as he said those words, he almost couldn't help but break down.
"Your Highness, you are now the only prince of Great Yu, the crown prince of Great Yu, and our hope for the future, so even if we have to write a policy essay today, you cannot run away at the last minute."
Qianyuan: ...
Fallacy, all fallacy. He's just a dragon cub that's only a few months old. What kind of policy essays could he possibly write? He's incapable of writing any; he can only slack off like this.
If he had known that being an emperor was this tiring, he would never have envied those emperors who ruled the world in novels.
Dad, Cai Cai, let's scoop some water!
Qianyuan made a sound that she didn't want to work hard.
Ning Guanyan's face showed the familiar look of disappointment and frustration. He seemed to have great hope that the dragon cub would become a wise ruler, and even wanted the dragon cub to completely unify the nine provinces and become the overlord of the world.
But right now, their leader has absolutely no desire to put in any effort, what should they do...?
What's even more infuriating is that His Majesty doesn't seem to insist that Qianyuan become emperor. It seems that if the little guy says he wants to travel around, His Majesty will abandon the entire country and the Great Yu to accompany him on his carefree journey.
Ning Guanyan was in the prime of his life, but he already had several more gray hairs.
Meanwhile, the two most precious people being frantically cricketed by him were interacting right in front of Ning Guanyan:
"Father, I really can't write it." Even if Qian Yuan's memories are restored, he is still just a naive and foolish college student. How can you ask someone who has never ruled a feudal dynasty to write about how to manage and collect taxes?
This is like expecting a college student who has never seen a pig run to write an article on postpartum care of a sow.
Just as Ning Guanyan had imagined, Emperor Chongle didn't care at all.
"If you can't write it, then get up and walk around. I've seen you rubbing your eyes several times."
"Hehe." The little guy stood up, stretched his waist, and subtly snatched several pieces of pastry from his father's side.
Emperor Chongle raised his head slightly:
"He used to steal a few pastries from me and would always try to charm me. Now, he's even become less valuable and won't even say he loves me."
Qianyuan coughed and said, "Dad, I'm a big baby now."
Emperor Chongle understood Qianyuan better than Qianyuan himself, so he naturally knew how to treat the little guy and said directly:
"Now that you've grown up, learn to inherit my position, learn everything Master Ning taught you, surpass me, and become the new king of Great Yu."
"A mature young man needs to write two policy essays a day."
Qianyuan: !!!
He instantly transformed himself into the shape of a dragon, burying his head in Emperor Chongle's arms, and then clung to his father like a clingy dragon sculpture, his tail swishing back and forth nimbly, clearly trying to please him.
"Dad, I was wrong, Dad, please pat it."
The little guy nuzzled his head against Emperor Chongle's palm with the same enthusiasm as if Emperor Chongle were holding a super delicious cat treat and fishing for a long, thin cat, turning the little guy into a cuckold.
But Emperor Chongle was like someone who had given up cat addiction, insisting on not petting or feeding the dragon cub, making the dragon cub so anxious it was about to rub against sparks.
"If my son really hates schoolwork, I'll chop up Ning Guanyan to vent your anger, how about that?"
Qianyuan: ...Not very good.
Ning Guanyan, standing nearby: Not good at all! Not good at all!!!
Why is it always him who gets hurt?
Your Majesty is confused!
He shed blood and risked his life for the Great Yu Dynasty. Are we really going to abandon such a loyal minister as him?!
Even Changxiu, his arch-rival who had been openly and secretly fighting with him for years, had to send a sympathetic greeting!
Ning Guanyan could no longer hold back and covered his face to weep. As he wrote the memorial, tears streamed down his face, and he was at a loss for words.
Qianyuan: ...
Qianyuan is a bit lazy, but he's also a good kid.
So he could only transform back into human form, hug his father's arm, and lean his head on Emperor Chongle's shoulder.
