What does Yaoyao mean by this? Not only does this guy want to snatch my daughter from me, but he also wants to ruin the reputation of my concubine?! I can't stand it at all!
He swung his clenched fist towards Emperor Donglin's face, but the other side dodged.
"What are you doing?!"
Emperor Qixuan's clenched hands had veins bulging and his joints crackling as he watched him grit his teeth.
"Can't you see that? Of course, I'll beat you up!"
"OK!"
Emperor Donglin flexed his wrists a few times, struck a pose, and raised his chin towards him.
"Then let me see if your Kung Fu has improved over the years!"
The two men started fighting with bare hands in the imperial study.
Outside the door, after hearing a series of banging sounds, Su Maowen hurriedly pushed the door open.
After seeing this scene, he quietly retreated and closed the door tightly, as if he had never been there.
Seeing such a fierce fighting scene for the first time, Chu Yaoyao clapped her hands and stamped her feet excitedly.
He was just about to yell "OK" at the top of his lungs.
Then he took out a few copper coins and showed his support.
After a cup of tea, the two were tied.
But in her opinion, her father who was breathing heavily was just a little worse than Emperor Donglin who looked normal with only a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
She shook her head and sighed.
[Is this the difference between having only one queen and having a harem? ]
【Father is really... weak.】
Hearing this, Emperor Qixuan's already leaky heart seemed to be hit by another arrow.
He walked up to Yaoyao and pinched her chubby cheek to vent his anger.
How could such a soft little kid have such a vicious mouth? Chu Yaoyao cried out in pain, and looked at him accusingly with her big watery eyes.
"Father is bad!"
[You can’t beat the Emperor Donglin, so you come to a two-year-old child to seek a sense of existence? ]
Emperor Qixuan: ...
Do you know that you are only two years old? Are those vicious words appropriate for a baby like you to say?
Even if you want to, you can't! "Come on, admit your inferiority and take it out on your child!"
Emperor Donglin picked up Yaoyao and rubbed her.
Emperor Qixuan glared at him unhappily, "It's clearly a draw!"
"Okay, okay, let's put this matter aside for now. Send someone to help me find the jade pendant."
Speaking of the jade pendant, Emperor Donglin looked a little unhappy, because it was a personal item of his.
If the token of an emperor falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it will be ruined.
Emperor Qixuan sat down again and looked at him jokingly.
"Did you give it to your lover and forget about it?"
Emperor Donglin was so angry that he jumped up and down, "Don't slander my innocence!"
After a few sarcastic remarks, Emperor Qixuan felt relieved and his expression became serious.
"Did anything strange happen before you came here?"
Emperor Donglin seemed to have remembered it as well, and looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
"A palace maid bumped into me. Did she take the jade pendant? I thought she was trying to throw herself into my arms."
Emperor Qixuan sat upright and spoke with a serious face.
"Since you are involved, I won't hide it anymore."
Afterwards, he revealed that Princess Xiyue was suspected to be a daughter of the Xiao family.
Finally, he added, "I might need your help."
Emperor Donglin frowned and thought, "So my jade pendant is likely to be used by them to frame Concubine Shu?"
"I am just guessing."
[It is certain. ]
[By the way, is the scumbag dad so smart? He can guess this almost exactly? ]
Chu Yaoyao was completely stunned, her mouth opened wide unconsciously.
Emperor Qixuan found it quite amusing and raised his hand to help her lift her chin up.
With a little guy like you, it's hard for me not to know! Emperor Donglin paced back and forth in the study, muttering to himself.
"I should have thought of this earlier. How could your food be so delicious?"
Suddenly he turned around and asked, "Is this matter still related to your terrible brother?"
[That's right, the reason why the male protagonist gave up the Xiao family so quickly was because he found a better partner, right? ]
“Puff!”
Seeing her serious expression, Emperor Donglin was immediately amused.
"Yaoyao is amazing. You've already started helping your father with his worries at such a young age?"
Chu Yaoyao pretended to be ignorant, and looked at him with her big round, dark eyes, looking innocent.
This little look made Emperor Donglin unable to hold back and he stroked the little hair on her head a few times.
"If you ask me, since he wants that chair so badly, you might as well just leave this mess to him!"
He returned and sat down opposite Emperor Qixuan.
"You will come back to Donglin with me, and I will make you an iron-hatted king. In two years, I will directly make you the emperor."
As he spoke, he showed a longing expression.
"Let's go out and enjoy the scenery, that would be a very relaxing time!"
Zhu Shichong: ...
What about me? According to the two families you mentioned, I was dug out.
Chu Yaoyao's stomach ached from trying so hard to hold back her laughter.
[I really can't help it. Does the Crown Prince of Donglin know that his father has deceived him like this? ]
[It’s fine if you want to retire in your thirties, but you also want your son to support his brother’s family? ]
【What a touching brotherhood this is! 】
[However, the affection of Emperor Donglin is indeed impressive. ]
Thinking of the plot in the book, Chu Yaoyao couldn't laugh anymore.
[I remember that after my grandfather and the Zhao family were persecuted, Xiyue often provoked and started wars on the border, but at that time Daqi had no generals who could lead the troops.]
[It was the Emperor of Donglin who sent troops to reinforce the city several times despite the opposition of his court officials.]
[After my father passed away, Emperor Donglin also secretly helped my third brother many times, but it was a pity that my third brother was a hopeless case.]
[Later, the hero and heroine unified Daqi and Xiyue, and even several small countries around them surrendered. ]
[But the Donglin Kingdom never gave in and kept fighting against the hero and heroine. ]
Not only her, but even Emperor Qixuan was very moved when he heard this.
"But there is one thing. I cannot afford to support your children and those women. You have to support them by yourself. If that doesn't work, just dismiss the harem."
After hearing this, Emperor Qixuan's feeling of being touched disappeared instantly, and he slapped away his hand that was about to take the teacup.
"You are the emperor of a country after all, can you be more serious?"
Can this throne be given up just like that?
Even if I want to abdicate, I can't hand over the throne to that weakling.
Otherwise, everyone can take advantage of it, what will happen to the people of Daqi? !
Emperor Donglin seems to be very resentful.
"What's so good about being an emperor?!"
"You get up earlier than the chickens, sleep later than the dogs, and work harder than the cows. You deserve what you do. The slightest mistake will be nailed to the pillar of shame and infamy forever!"
"If by chance God is blind, there will be an earthquake here, or no rain there for several years, or God will issue a confession of guilt at any time."
He drank a cup of tea and sighed, "It's so frustrating!"
"Anyway, I've had enough of sitting on the throne!"
[I didn’t expect this person to be the most sober person in the world! ]
Chu Yaoyao nodded in agreement.
She suddenly understood the tyrant.
To be honest, office workers do have statutory holidays to take a short break.
A slightly more responsible emperor would be like an ancient version of 007, working all year round.
Is it uncomfortable to lie down, or is it not good to be in a bad situation? After complaining bitterly, Emperor Donglin looked at Emperor Qixuan with sympathy.
"I am better off. Take you for example. You can't even decide which woman to favor or which concubine to sleep with."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qixuan quickly covered Yaoyao's ears.
"Can you please stop being so outspoken? What if you teach Yaoyao bad things?"
Emperor Donglin suddenly sat up straight, then picked up the little guy with a smile.
"Speaking of Yaoyao, I have to change what I said before. I can still afford to raise a goddaughter."
Emperor Qixuan:!
Do you want to listen to what you are saying? (End of this chapter)
