"Phew~"
After a rather unladylike, unrefined feast, Helian Si put down his chopsticks, picked up a damp handkerchief from the table, and wiped his hands.
He then patted his slightly bulging belly and let out a satisfied sigh. If it weren't for the need to maintain elegance, Helian Si would have even wanted to burp.
"Did you come here specifically to freeload a meal?"
Helian Nie put down his chopsticks and slowly wiped his hands, revealing the noble air of a royal family that he had cultivated for many years.
Helian Si, who was admiring the view and was about to make a few more comments, was stunned upon hearing these words, and then suddenly realized what they meant.
How could I have forgotten the important matter? I came here to ask my father why he was personally leading the expedition, but I ended up eating here first!
"Of course not, it's not."
It should have been a righteous and eloquent statement, but when he thought about the food on the table, most of which would end up in his own stomach, his words became less confident.
"I came to ask Father why he personally led the expedition. How can I say that such a trivial matter does not require Father's personal involvement?"
Helian Nie stared at Helian Si calmly and unhurriedly. Helian Si spoke softer and softer, simply because he suddenly remembered something.
It seems my father hasn't forgiven me yet. Is there a hole in the ground? Right now, I really want to crawl into one.
"I promised you that I would make Xiling and Nanli pay the price."
Helian Nie put down the handkerchief, leaned back lazily in his chair, and looked at Helian Si, who was unusually meek and obedient, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"What, just because of this?"
Helian Si suddenly looked up, his beautiful peach blossom eyes widening slightly, his face filled with astonishment. His father was going to personally lead the army just because he had promised him?
“Father, no need, no need. Just take it as a casual remark. Besides, by sending troops to attack Xiling and Nanli, you are making them pay the price.”
Helian Si waved his hands repeatedly, paused, glanced at Helian Nie, lowered his head, pursed his lips, and spoke in a low voice.
"Besides, Father, you are getting old. There's no need for you to personally lead an expedition. It would be too harmful to your health..."
Xiao Linzi and his group of palace servants, who were attending to Helian Si, twitched violently upon hearing his words. What had the princess said about the emperor?
"Age? Getting old? Oh my, Princess, the Emperor is only thirty-eight this year. He's in his prime. How can he be considered old?"
Helian Nie's face was very dark, truly dark, and he laughed in extreme anger. Therefore, in this ugly creature's mind, he was now already an old man.
Oh!
Helian Si also realized that what he had said might have been somewhat inappropriate. Not daring to look up at Helian Nie's expression, he coughed lightly.
"Well, Father, what I mean is, you're not young anymore, not like you used to be..."
Wait, that doesn't seem right either. Helian Si wanted to slap himself for saying such nonsense.
"If you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth."
"Okay."
Helian Nie gave Helian Si a chilling, sinister look and spoke in a cold voice. Helian Si, being sensible, silently shut his mouth.
Well, back when I was still a chubby baby, I said the same thing to my second brother.
Helian Si sighed to himself, looking up at the sky. Perhaps this is the cycle of karma, and no one can escape the judgment of Heaven.
Sigh, speaking of Heavenly Dao, it seems like I haven't seen that bastard Buddha Lotus for ages.
Helian Si cursed Fo Lian a thousand times in his heart. Without a doubt, this bastard had abandoned his post to eat, drink, and have fun again!
