"You want Xiaobao to sit in this position?" Su Ruojin asked with some surprise.
“Why not? Yi’er is the son of the Emperor. He used to suffer from mental illness, but he has now been cured. After being trained by my master at Qingyue Mountain for a period of time, who would dare say that he does not have the bearing of an emperor?”
Xiao Yanchu acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Su Ruojin rolled her eyes at him. "Have you asked Xiaobao if he's willing?"
Becoming emperor is something everyone vies for, even risking their lives to seize.
In Su Ruojin's eyes, that was a tough job, and she was reluctant to let Xiaobao suffer like that.
Because of this throne, Xiao Bao lost his parents at a young age, and now Xiao Yanchu wants Xiao Bao to sit on this throne.
Xiao Yanchu thought about it and felt that Su Ruojin's words made sense. They couldn't force Xiaobao, but the Great Chu couldn't be without a ruler for even a day.
He suddenly looked at Su Ruojin's stomach, which made Su Ruojin feel a little uneasy. Did he find out?
She didn't know how Xiao Yanchu would react if he found out she had kept her pregnancy a secret from him.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Su Ruojin muttered.
Xiao Yanchu didn't immediately detect the hint of guilt in Su Ruojin's words, and instead said, "Ajin, how about we have a son?"
Su Ruojin glared at Xiao Yanchu, "Why does it have to be a son? Can't it be a daughter? Do you look down on daughters?"
She never expected that Xiao Yanchu would have such a preference for sons over daughters.
"No, Ah Jin, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. Sons and daughters are the same to me, but daughters are even better. They look like you, and I'll make sure she lives a happy little princess all her life and never let her suffer a single hardship," Xiao Yanchu hurriedly explained.
"Then you should let me have a son."
“Ah Jin, think about it. If Xiao Bao doesn’t want to sit in this position, and Xiao Chenyi is a hopeless case, I can’t just abandon the people of Da Chu.”
"If you have a son, when he's a little older, I can just hand over my position to him, and then, with my daughter, we can go wherever we want in this world. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Su Ruojin: ......
The son wasn't even born yet, and Xiao Yanchu was already scheming against him.
Su Ruojin was unsure whether to be happy or sad for the child in her womb.
Although she doesn't yet know whether the baby in her womb is a boy or a girl, if it is indeed a boy, once Xiao Yanchu sits on that throne, one can imagine that after the son is born, Xiao Yanchu will definitely educate him strictly according to the standards of an emperor.
She remembered reading some study schedules for ancient princes in ancient books in her previous life. They had to get up at 5 a.m. to study from a young age. The study content covered history, military affairs, policy, the Six Arts, martial arts, and other aspects. They could not wash up and go to sleep until 10 p.m., without stopping for a moment.
Moreover, it's one-on-one tutoring, so you can't even slack off or take a break. Just thinking about it is exhausting.
Su Ruojin subconsciously touched her upper abdomen, unsure whether she should have a daughter or a son.
She couldn't bear to see Xiaobao suffer, nor could she bear to see her own son suffer; both were equally dear to her.
Sigh, blame it on the late Emperor of Great Chu. He didn't educate his son properly, and now we can't find a suitable person to inherit the throne. It's so frustrating.
Although Xiao Yanchu didn't know that Su Ruojin was thinking so much at this moment, he found it a little funny when he saw her slightly furrowed brows, and gently reached out to pat her forehead.
"If you keep frowning, you'll look like an old lady soon. Take a rest first. You're tired today. We can talk about the rest later."
Su Ruojin realized she had overthought things and even hesitated a bit, which wasn't like her usual self.
Pregnant women are prone to overthinking, especially when it comes to their children.
She pulled herself out of her thoughts; now was not the time to think about these things. She should deal with the Su family's problems first, and leave everything else to fate.
