Despite their cravings, everyone gained a new understanding of Qin Jue's doting affection for Qin Ruoxi.
After that day, the newly added chair next to Qin Jue's dragon throne was never removed; it remained there.
In the beginning, when Qin Ruoxi sometimes came to see Qin Jue, she would be called in and sit in this chair to listen to the reports from the ministers below.
The ministers had naturally grown accustomed to Qin Ruoxi sitting in this chair, eating pastries while listening to their reports.
Later, it gradually changed; it wasn't that Qin Ruoxi sat in this chair when she came to find Qin Jue.
Instead, he was summoned by Qin Jue to the Golden Palace to listen to government affairs.
This morning, after the morning court session concluded at the Golden Palace, these ministers, unusually, did not immediately leave the palace to go home.
Instead, they all lingered around the Golden Palace or surrounded Qin Jingyi.
"Your Highness, what does His Majesty mean by having the princess sit next to him?"
Qin Jingyan's sharp gaze fell upon the minister who had spoken.
The minister thought he was right, which angered Qin Jingyi, so he pressed on and continued his argument.
"This...it was never said that a chair would be placed on the dragon throne."
"Furthermore, they never allowed princes to sit on the throne to listen to government affairs, and they even ate in the Golden Palace!!!"
"Even princes don't have any, let alone a princess like her???!!!"
After the minister finished speaking, Zhou Wei felt a chill run down his spine, and then looked at Qin Jingyi.
Qin Jingyan stared at the person who spoke.
"so what?"
Upon hearing this, the minister who had spoken immediately felt that he was absolutely right and began to speak again.
"Since a princess is a woman, she must do what women are supposed to do!!!"
"Therefore, Your Highness, we should have the princess go to Xiang'an Palace to embroider, to embroider a red wedding dress."
"Oh…"
"Thump—thud—"
Before the minister could react, Qin Jingyao kicked him in the stomach, sending him sprawling to his knees.
The sound of him kneeling was so loud that all the surrounding ministers heard it and turned to look.
As soon as he saw the minister kneeling on the ground, Qin Jingyao kicked him again.
This time, Qin Jingyi kicked the minister directly in the chest, and the minister clutched his chest and fell backward.
Even so, Qin Jingyi did not let that minister off the hook.
He walked up to the minister and stepped on the minister's chest.
Qin Jingyi glared at the ministers, his eyes blazing with fury, and spoke in a chilling tone.
"Liu Hai, I'm warning you—the princess is not someone you can speak ill of or discuss."
"A princess is someone you can only look up to, someone you can never reach."
"Got it?"
Liu Hai lay on the ground, trying to move Qin Jingyao's legs with both hands, but he couldn't budge them.
Then he changed his hands to patting his chest, and couldn't help coughing.
Did you hear that?
Seeing that Liu Hai didn't answer, Qin Jingyao increased the pressure of his foot even more, causing Liu Hai to howl in pain.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
"Did you hear that? I don't want to say it a third time."
"I...I heard it...I heard it."
Fearing that Qin Jingyi would continue to exert force, Liu Hai quickly said...
"Then tell me what we should do next?"
"I...I will definitely be...respectful to the princess..."
"The princess is...the most...beautiful...and most powerful...woman in the world."
"Um"
"Get out of here."
After saying that, Qin Jingyi kicked Liu Hai in the side again.
Upon hearing that he could leave, Liu Hai quickly scrambled to his feet, clutching his chest, and walked towards the palace gate.
They were stopped after taking only a few steps.
"stop!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Hai immediately stopped and looked in Qin Jingyi's direction.
"Your Highness?"
Remember today
Yes, yes, yes.
Liu Hai hurriedly nodded and bowed, and seeing Qin Jingyi wave at him, he immediately turned and strode towards the palace gate.
I was afraid that if I was a step too slow, Qin Jingyi would call me back again.
But this time, Liu Hai hadn't gone more than a few steps when he tripped and fell flat on his face, his official hat falling off.
Liu Hai turned his head and glanced at the scene, realizing it was Qin Jingyi who had done it. He quickly lowered his head and then turned back.
He quickly picked up the official hat that had fallen to the ground, scrambled to his feet, and ran towards the palace gate.
This was the first time the surrounding ministers had ever seen Qin Jingyi, who was always smiling like a tiger, so obviously angry and even publicly assaulting someone at the entrance of the Golden Palace.
And it was because he stood up for the princess.
Everyone now held Qin Ruoxi in even higher regard.
Qin Ruoxi knew nothing about what was happening here, but Sanhezi whispered it in Qin Jue's ear.
As a result, Liu Hai was penalized by Qin Jue with a six-month salary reduction and a month of reflection at home.
Liu Hai never expected that just because he said a few words about Qin Ruoxi, he would be berated by Qin Jingyao and punished by Qin Jue.
Xiao Xi'er and Qin Jue walked together, boarded the carriage, and headed out of the palace.
On the carriage
Xiao Xi poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qin Jue.
"Daddy, drink up, I poured this for you!"
"Okay," Qin Jue took the teacup from Xiao Xi'er's hand, took a sip, and nodded.
"Not bad, it tastes good."
Xiao Xi'er was delighted. She then rested her arms on the table, propped her head up with her hands, blinked, and looked at Qin Jue, feigning confusion as she asked...
"Father, do you know where I'm taking you?"
Upon hearing Xiao Xi'er's words, Qin Jue thought for a moment and understood what she was thinking.
But to appease Xiaoxi, I said I didn't know.
"I don't know, Xi'er, can you tell your father?"
"Father, guess!"
Xiao Xi lowered her arms, sat up straight, picked up a banana, and started eating.
"OK"
Qin Jue agreed with Xiao Xi'er's suggestion, then pretended to think about it. After a while, he looked up at Xiao Xi'er.
"Father doesn't know, let me tell him."
"Alright then."
As Xiaoxi spoke, she took something out of her left sleeve with her right hand.
"Ta-da!"
Xiao Xi'er took the paper in her hand, unfolded it, and showed the side with writing to Qin Jue.
"This is?"
"The land deed... it's a land deed for Zhengxiang."
"Oh? How did Xiaoxi get pregnant?"
"My older brother gave it to me."
When Qin Jue heard Xiao Xi'er say that it was given by Qin Jingyu, he raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Qin Jingyu?"
"Uh-huh"
Qin Jue asked Xiao Xi'er, and seeing Xiao Xi'er nod, he already guessed what had happened.
"Father, now that this shop is mine..."
"I want to renovate the shop to my liking, so I asked Daddy to come out with me."
"Let my father take a look at it."
Xiao Xi'er said ingratiatingly to Qin Jue.
"Alright, since this shop will be Xi'er's from now on, Father will definitely help Xi'er take good care of it."
"whee"
Xiao Xi'er moved closer to Qin Jue and wrapped her arms around his.
