Chapter 285 Li Changhuai, I want to leave first
"Ahem, what else can you do seriously? Besides fighting, what else can you do since you were a kid?
"You can even start a quarrel with the ministers while reviewing memorials, and have them file a complaint in my imperial palace. Ahem, ahem, you are such a rare talent!"
"Can you blame me? That idiot wrote a bunch of nonsense and asked a bunch of trivial and bullshit questions. I'm so busy every day that I don't even have time to fart, so how can I have the time to listen to his nonsense?"
So no matter whether it is in ancient times or in modern times, the poor workers are the ones who must not be messed with casually, as they can easily explode if you are not careful. Even a careless person like Li Chengxiu was almost forced to think his brain was broken and started to speak without thinking.
"Ahem, ahem, who the hell are you calling me in front of? I'm not going to kill you today!"
While the emperor was cursing his mother, he began to take off his shoes skillfully, and Li Chengxiu also ran away as if he knew the way.
"Father, please don't get angry. Anger is bad for your health, Dad!
Ouch, that hurts!
I just said it because I wanted to. Why are you arguing with your own son? If you hit me again, I won’t live anymore. I’ll pretend to be dead in front of you…”
"Stop, you little bastard!"
It seemed that the emperor, who often laughed and grumbled, was only energetic when he was in high spirits to beat his son.
The father and son usually perform the dog-beating drama, but the one who came out to persuade them today was not the father's wife, but the son's wife.
"Husband!"
These two short words could be called a talisman. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, who was originally running around the yard, suddenly stopped, and the emperor successfully caught one of his sons with the sole of his shoe.
The emperor was not used to being caught so easily, and was stunned for a moment. Then he turned his head to look at his daughter-in-law standing at the palace door with a bulging belly, and his face flushed.
Oh no, how could I have been so careless as to forget that this girl had been here all this time? Normally, I would have spanked my son, but how could I not give him face in front of my daughter-in-law?
He quickly released his son from under the soles of his shoes, bent down quickly to put on his shoes, and with a flick of his dragon robe, he became the majestic emperor again.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty the Father."
"Stop bowing, Wanjie! Get up!"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Li Chengxiu had already rushed to his wife's side and held her firmly with his two big claws.
"Didn't I tell you to just give a hand as a token of your appreciation? Our little cub is in your belly, why would you bother with formalities? Just show your thoughtfulness, and the Emperor and Empress will all know about it! Right, Dad?"
Look at how bent your elbow is. Aren't you afraid of breaking your paw?!
The emperor coughed and rolled his eyes, not wanting to look at his troubled son anymore. He turned to look at his daughter-in-law and the little grandson in her belly.
Some time ago, they had learned from the imperial physician that the baby was a boy, and the emperor and empress were very relieved. How could their parents not be happy that the fourth child, this eccentric child, had an heir?
Even looking at his daughter-in-law, who used to be as troublesome as his son, the emperor suddenly found her to be well-behaved and sensible.
"Shut up, Fourth Brother! Your wife knows how to be filial, follow the rules, and observe etiquette. You don't know a thing or two!"
My dear, you are becoming more and more like a princess. Isn't that right?
You are the princess, so you are not allowed to whip people at their doors like you did when you were little, do you understand?"
"Your son obeys your order!"
"Very good, very good. Your mother has taught you so hard for so many years. Now you have the demeanor of a royal princess. Ahem, very good!"
The emperor smiled with great satisfaction as he took credit for his wife. The smug look on his face was exactly the same as that of his silly son.
Jiang Wan also laughed.
"Your Majesty, Mother has just woken up. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is accompanying us in the palace. How about we go in first? I've already looked at the lunch menu, and there are several dishes that you like. These must be what Mother ordered this morning!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go in right away."
The emperor, now becoming more and more agreeable, stepped into the palace. The queen had indeed woken up and seemed to be in good spirits, sitting at the head of the bed, smiling at the emperor as he entered.
"I heard you guys making a fuss in the yard from inside the house. Why did you pick on the fourth child?"
"Don't blame me this time, it's that kid who was too clueless! Forget it, let's not talk about him. Third brother, get out of the way."
"Yes, Father, please sit with Mother for a while. I'll go outside to see the Fourth Brother and the others."
"Hurry up and call us when the meal is ready outside."
The emperor waved his hand and pushed his son away from the bed, then grabbed his wife's hand with his big claws.
It's such a hot day, but my hands are still so cold.
He frowned unhappily.
"Wife, didn't you take the medicine properly? Didn't Yun Yue say that he added blood-tonifying herbs? Why are your hands still so cold?"
"You also said that it's a medicinal herb, not an elixir. I can still eat a bite, right? Don't take your anger out on others, I'll be unhappy."
The queen looked at her husband who was becoming increasingly haggard, and at his hair which had suddenly become mixed with many silver strands in just a short period of time, and she looked at his whole body.
Then she raised her hand and touched his face.
"I wanted to talk about you a while ago. Why did you think of growing a beard now?"
"Hey, aren't we having our portraits painted? I've seen records of emperors in history books, and most of them have beards. How embarrassing it would be if I didn't have one."
"What are you comparing yourself to?"
The Queen laughed. When she looked at him, her eyes were no longer filled with the love she had in her youth, nor were they filled with the heart-wrenching sadness and agony she had later on.
There was now peace in her eyes.
"You don't look good with a beard."
"real?"
"Um."
"Then I turned around and shaved it off?"
"Whatever you want."
Qiao Yunshu suddenly reached out and softly grabbed his ear.
"Li Changhuai, I want to leave first."
The man who was called up felt his heart tremble, and saw that his wife's eyes were clearly full of smiles, but the vitality was fading away bit by bit. A smile slowly crept into his painful eyes.
"Can't you hold on any longer?"
"Yeah, that hurts."
"Okay, then you go first."
He stood up and sat down at the head of the bed, holding his wife in his arms. The girl who was once so bright and beautiful, now was so thin that she was just a bag of bones, so light.
He lowered his head and rubbed his cheek against her hair. There were tears in his eyes, but there was no sadness in his tone.
"You go ahead, I'll be here soon."
"I knew you knew."
"Nonsense! I'm already vomiting blood, how could I not know? Ahem, can you please stop treating me like a fool? I'm such a smart and talented person!"
"Hahaha, you stole Jiang Huailiang's catchphrase."
"So what if he robbed me? I even gave him his name based on my own. Can't I use his catchphrase? Don't stand up for him. I'll be unhappy."
