It was originally something the kid messed up, but seeing his pitiful look made it hard not to laugh.
Qinglong wanted to reprimand the cub, but then he heard Emperor Chongle unconditionally doting on the cub and still not caring about it at all:
"Burning down a few palaces is nothing. It's not like I can't afford to pay for it. I can just use the money from my private treasury to repair the palaces. You're just a little fat bird, so innocent. What did you do wrong?"
"Back when you were a lowly dragon, you destroyed so many palaces, and I never said a word to you, did I?"
Emperor Chongle felt that he had both the ability and the means, so it was not unreasonable for him to spoil his child. After all, his child had suffered so much, and now he deserved some sweetness.
His child was destined to be pampered.
Even if he becomes a spoiled brat, it doesn't matter; Emperor Chongle is willing to take care of him forever.
This is also different from the ideas of mortals and immortals.
Mortals, in their short lives, often yearn for sensual pleasures, but the path to immortality is long and arduous, requiring self-discipline and adherence to propriety.
Qinglong didn't refute Emperor Chongle's words, but seeing the cub being pampered by his emperor father made him feel a little better.
At this moment, the bald-bottomed little bird snuggled into the Azure Dragon's arms, putting on a well-behaved and docile appearance.
Well, now even Qinglong, who originally thought he still had a strong stance, couldn't help but switch sides.
The cub has a unique ability to prevent others from saying anything harsh.
He knows all too well how to make people feel soft-hearted.
The Azure Dragon cradled the cub, closed his eyes briefly, and softened his expression, though his voice remained indifferent. However, everyone could tell he was speaking gently.
"Okay, stop acting all cutesy."
The child carefully lifted his head from his palm, his voice filled with longing:
"Can I skip school tomorrow?"
Azure Dragon:………
So that's what the child was thinking about.
Qinglong sighed helplessly, the familiar feeling of powerlessness when taking care of children washing over him again.
"No, cultivation cannot be done sporadically."
The chick said, "But my bottom is all burnt. A bird with a burnt bottom shouldn't go to school."
When the cub saw that the Azure Dragon did not answer him, it began to whine and pretend to cry, while secretly glancing up to see if the Azure Dragon had noticed it.
Qinglong didn't know what to say.
Whenever he softens his heart, the cub always finds a new way to take advantage of his vulnerability and try to sneak into him.
Emperor Chongle also saw the same sighing expression on the face of the dignified Azure Dragon Immortal Venerable.
Sure enough, no matter who you are, once you start taking care of children, you can't escape the fate of becoming a helpless parent.
Emperor Chongle, perhaps feeling a sense of mutual respect, actually sought Qinglong's opinion: "If he really doesn't want to go to class, he can stay here with me for two days until his feathers have grown back. I will take good care of him."
Qinglong looked at the cub, whose aversion to school was unprecedented, and was genuinely worried that not having feathers would be a huge blow to him, so he agreed.
The cub returned to Emperor Chongle's embrace.
"Little burnt bottom, are you satisfied now?"
Emperor Chongle teased him.
The cub immediately nuzzled against Emperor Chong Le, its paws kneading against his palms.
Emperor Chongle chuckled: "You only know how to curry favor with me when you need something."
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
The cub is having trouble speaking human language now that it's in a hurry, so it's hard to tell if it's agreeing or disagreeing.
"Alright," Emperor Chongle picked up the chubby bird and returned to his bedchamber, saying to the palace servants, "I need to rest with the baby now. Have someone come and serve me."
Ning Guanyan had a very close relationship with Emperor Chongle, and sometimes he would even stay in the palace to personally serve the emperor. However, he was getting older, and with the affairs of state being more and more important, the emperor was increasingly willing to be a hands-off ruler, and he also had a wife and daughters at home, so he could only cultivate a new successor and have him serve in the emperor's presence.
Even Lian Changxiu adopted a son.
The two young people had come along tonight, and seeing Emperor Chongle smiling so gently and tenderly towards a little chubby bird, they felt like they were dreaming.
After all, when they met Emperor Chongle, it was already a period when Emperor Chongle was becoming increasingly lonely after the cubs left.
Any minister who sends someone to him or asks him to bear an heir will meet a miserable end.
He was the incomparably noble supreme ruler, but also a completely unpredictable and capricious evil spirit.
The entire court was filled with fear and trepidation, as if walking on thin ice.
But ever since this so-called divine beast appeared, His Majesty has been a completely different person. Although he still has a gloomy appearance, he has become much more tolerant of everyone, and no longer stares at them like they are enemies. Instead, he spends his days reading with Prime Minister Ning.
Research on the Keeping of Pet Birds
It seems that Emperor Chongle even ordered a huge golden cage to be built specifically for this little bird.
Why don't they envy this chubby little bird for having such good luck?
But when they followed Emperor Chongle back to his bedchamber and began preparing to serve His Majesty, they discovered that there were so many things related to infants in His Majesty's bedchamber, which they had never set foot in before.
They were all old, yellowed items, but they had been carefully cleaned and not a speck of dust had settled on them.
The soft carpet covering the entire bedroom was made of sheepskin, probably a gift from a foreign tribe. It was thick and soft, as if to prevent anyone from bumping into it.
The originally exquisitely carved pillars were mischievously decorated with hair added to the carvings, with someone saying that the dragon inside had too little hair.
