Chapter 360 The True Harem Master
"Isn't that, ahem, a simple thing to do?"
"Stop thinking about whether it's going your way or not. You're the emperor now, not that rogue prince who was guarding the border gate.
Ever since the adults started teaching us, they have been repeatedly teaching us four words: lead by example and follow suit!
It's a warning to us to be upright and set a good example for all the men, women, and children in Dayu. Do you understand?"
Regardless of the talk or the joke, Jiang Wan never joked about national affairs. Although Li Chengxiu was a bit of a jerk, at least he didn't let anyone down.
"I see. You're really watching me more strictly than Old Liu right now! I'm just talking, right? How could I really go out and beg for food unless I have to?"
"Still talking? If you keep saying that, I'll really hit you."
"Oh, okay, okay, I won't say anything!"
The couple has been lovingly married for so long, and the biggest reason for this is that Li Laosi knows how to follow his heart. He's determined not to talk nonsense when his wife doesn't allow him to, and just talks about something nice! He's now a master at the process of living off his wife.
"Wife, I think our son seems to be a little smart."
He scratched his forehead and happily shared his latest discovery with his beloved.
"Today, when I was holding him in Qianyuan Hall to play, he listened to me very attentively. But as soon as my elder brother and the others came, he quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep. I think he is afraid of his uncle's mouth."
"Is it possible that he's just sleepy?"
Jiang Wan spoke some truths in a very realistic way.
"A baby who can't even take care of himself, with no special skills other than blowing bubbles and blinking his eyes. How on earth can you tell eighteen times a day that your son is smart, clever, shrewd, and capable?"
"Of course I know, I'm the emperor!"
“Even if you are the Jade Emperor, you can’t do this.
Li Chengxiu, let's be realistic. You and I are not geniuses or gifted people. How can we give birth to a child prodigy?
All Ah Zhu needed was a normal brain. When he grew up, great scholars would teach him. He already had a much higher starting point than others, which was already quite good.
Don't be greedy, or you might corrupt the child's character. Otherwise, Big Brother will be hanged at the gate of your Qianyuan Palace."
It was clear and reasonable, but Li Chengxiu didn't want to hear it. Because this man had placed too much hope in his son, he believed that his son would be born with ambition and ambition to become a great ruler, so that he could step down from the throne sooner.
So even if he saw his son spit out one more bubble, Li Laosi would be happy for half a day.
Jiang Wan didn't bother to pay attention to this guy who was almost crazy, and looked around.
"Where's Azhu?"
"In the side hall. I have something important to do today, so I'll let Hongzhu and the others take our son to play over there."
"You are really promising."
Jiang Wan stood up and was about to go look for his son when he was grabbed by Li Chengxiu again. The man shouted at the door at the top of his voice.
"Li Jinzhong, go and bring the eldest prince back!"
"yes!"
Fortunately, the chief steward who was guarding outside was still young in legs and feet. Not long after he finished replying, little Li Rui returned to his fragrant mother.
“Ah…Ah…Ah…Wow…”
It's a pity that the child can't express himself clearly. He drools and babbles as if he is mumbling something.
"Azhuo, you miss mother, don't you? We haven't seen each other for a whole day. Mother misses you too! Oh, don't cry, don't cry, mother will hug you."
Jiang Wan gently took her precious son back from her personal secretary. The motherly radiance immediately soothed the crying Li Rui, but made Li Chengxiu angrily open his eyes wide.
"Wife, your discrimination is too obvious, isn't it? You're so patient with Little Li, but you just say, 'I'm going to hit you!' This is really unfair. What's wrong with me? Who isn't a descendant of the Li family?"
Hongzhu and Hongxiu were no longer surprised by their son-in-law's constant propensity to seek trouble, and they all lowered their heads and took a step back skillfully.
Jiang Wan leaned forward slightly while holding her son, then looked at her husband with amusement.
"This is my son, and you are someone else's son. How can we treat close relatives the same?"
“………”
Li Chengxiu frowned and pondered for two breaths, then opened his mouth to make a sound.
"Just try and shout something!"
Jiang Wan, who had been familiar with his various tricks since childhood, glared at him with a murderous look, and then the person who wanted to act mean quickly wilted.
"I just wanted to make a joke, don't be angry, wife. Hehehe, it's not worth it."
"Get away from me!"
"Oh, then I'll get back to business. Jinzhong, come here and grind some ink for me."
The emperor, who had gotten into trouble, felt a little guilty. He sat down behind his desk with a guilty conscience, took out two memorials and started working overtime.
"Yes, I'll be right there!"
Li Jinzhong was once again shocked by the overwhelming favor the emperor bestowed upon the empress, and his heart began to beat fast.
Think about how the Crown Princess, oh no, the Song family girl was favored, it can be said that she had absolute power in the entire Eastern Palace. But compared to the current Empress Jiang, there is definitely a world of difference.
This one is the real master of the harem!
The chief steward involuntarily bent his back slightly and saluted the empress very respectfully. Only after receiving her nod of approval did he dare to rush to the emperor to serve him.
Jiang Wan looked at the master and servant. She had been busy all day and really didn't want to work overtime, so she carried her son back to the inner bedroom, and Hongzhu and Hongxiu quickly followed.
Although Fengming Palace was the Empress's palace, it was currently occupied by the entire family of three. There were no other concubines in the left and right palaces, and the censors were no longer bothered to care about the Emperor's harem, so the couple lived as they pleased.
It was winter, but the palace was not cold at all because of the fire wall. Jiang Wan, his master and his two servants were playing with the children in the house.
"Azhu, look here!"
A rattle with a colorful little tiger painted on it was happily shaken in Jiang Wan's hand. The "dong dong dong" sound attracted the attention of the baby on the bed.
He stretched out his little hands and opened his mouth, babbling and giggling, looking as pretty as a little golden boy who had just come down to earth.
"Our eldest prince is so handsome! I've never seen a child more handsome than the eldest prince in my life. When he grows up, he will definitely be our Dayu, no, the most outstandingly handsome man in the whole world!"
Hongxiu lay beside the bed, watching over the young master, her eyes filled with endless love for him.
Jiang Wan laughed.
"How old are you? How dare you say that for a lifetime? Ah Zhuo is good-looking, but it's really not that exaggerated. You're just bragging about yourself, don't you know? If this gets out, you'll be laughed at."
"Why are you just bragging? Our eldest prince is just good-looking, handsome and smart, no one can compare to him! Right, Sister Hongzhu?"
