Chapter 29: Xiaopingguo, if they have children in the future...
Once people are full of expectations, time becomes unbearable.
Cheng Changgeng asked Xiao Dezi in the morning, and waited until the evening. During this time, Cheng Changgeng had no time to deal with official business. After being busy for so many days, it was a rare opportunity for him to have some free time.
But this leisure is not so wonderful because it is accompanied by anxiety.
Cheng Changgeng tapped the table with his fingers. Several cups of tea beside him had gone cold, which was enough to reflect his inner restlessness.
"Xiao Dezi..."
Cheng Changgeng had just called out to Xiao Dezi, wanting him to go and confirm whether Su Mian had a surprise for him today, when he saw a crowd of people coming outside.
Xiao Dezi listened attentively, but Cheng Changgeng waved his hand and didn't ask any more questions. Seeing that the surprise was already coming, he just waited and saw.
Besides, there was a large group of people waiting at the door. At a quick glance, there were about ten of them. All of them were dressed in bright and beautiful clothes. The clothes made of transparent gauze were particularly cool. Their faces were covered with veils. They entered the Mingzheng Hall in formation.
There were too many people. Cheng Changgeng squinted his eyes, wondering if Su Mian was also inside, but he couldn't see clearly because of the crowds blocking his view, and he couldn't find Su Mian.
No matter what, he had some hidden expectations in his heart.
As the drums sounded, melodious music came from outside the hall. The men in the hall danced to the beat of the drums. Their dancing was not as enchanting as that of the women, but they were still charming, soft and powerful.
As the formation changed, a man playing the flute walked in from outside the hall. He was dressed in a heroic manner, different from all the men in the harem. There was a heroic spirit between his brows, and he really stood out among the crowd.
After the dance, all the dancers took off their veils. Their appearances were not all the same, but each had her own characteristics.
Cheng Changgeng leaned on the dragon throne, but he couldn't muster any interest at all. Su Mian was not here, so where were the others?
But before he could start looking, he heard Su Mian's voice.
[This is a beauty song I specially prepared for the Dog Emperor. There are eighteen men of different ages, looks and personalities. It cost me so much money to collect them. I feel so sorry for it. The Dog Emperor must like one of them! ]
[No matter what, this top star is hard to come by at a high price. People come here for the Dog Emperor. It’s time for the Dog Emperor to change his taste and try something new, right? ]
It turned out that this was the surprise he prepared for himself. Adding beauties to his harem was in line with his character as a tyrant who was obsessed with beauty.
But Cheng Changgeng felt inexplicably lost in his heart. This was not what he wanted, but what the original owner, the tyrant, would want.
His fingers were still drumming on the table, but his displeasure was obvious.
Xiao Dezi was watching from the side and could inexplicably sense that the smile on the emperor's face had faded. He pursed his lips and dared not speak. He only hoped that Su Mian could make the emperor happy soon. He did not want to die in vain.
Su Mian, who was hiding outside the door of the hall, saw that the hall was silent and needed to go out to liven up the atmosphere, so he walked straight in from outside.
"Your Majesty, this is a surprise that I specially prepared for you. Do you like it?"
Su Mian said cheerfully, walking to the side of the heroic man and kneeling down beside him.
"It's really hard for you to be so thoughtful."
When Cheng Changgeng saw Su Mian appear, his frown relaxed slightly, but he was obviously not in high spirits.
Su Mian stole a glance at the emperor's expression and felt troubled.
[How come this dog emperor is unmoved? I chose everything according to his preferences. ]
[If the dog emperor doesn't like it, how can I ask for the prize? ]
[System, please help me and make the Dog Emperor happy. ]
Su Mian hasn't asked the system for help for a while. So many things have happened recently that he temporarily forgot about his system-related matters. Now he hurried to ask for help.
[As long as you help me, I am willing to not eat meat for three days, not accept money for five days, and even if you ask me to scrub the dog emperor's body every day, I am willing to do it. ]
After Su Mian said the latter part of the sentence, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He was about to change his words, but Cheng Changgeng spoke before him.
"You are thoughtful. I think the one next to you is pretty good. I like him very much. How about making him a concubine?"
[Appointed as a concubine right from the start? ]
Su Mian was a little nervous, thinking that this position was a bit too high.
[This man is just a folk artist. If I present him to the emperor and appoint him as a concubine right away, will the emperor really not chop off my head for misleading the emperor? ]
Su Mian couldn't help but shiver, but Cheng Changgeng didn't care. No one dared to touch Su Mian when he was around, but he deliberately wanted to make him suffer.
Who asked him to randomly assign people to himself, or was he trying to get some jackpot?
Cheng Changgeng was extremely dissatisfied with this, but he thought to himself that he was not scrubbing his body for Su Mian, he was just punishing him, it would be the same no matter who scrubbed his body.
The emperor had already spoken, so there was no reason for him to take it back. Plus, the man next to Su Mian was smart and immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.
In this way, there was a new Jiang Ceqing in the palace.
"Su Mian."
Cheng Changgeng picked up the tea that he had ignored for a day, took a sip and said, "I like the surprise you prepared, but if you can personally prepare a unique program for me, then I will satisfy any of your requests, how about that?"
This was a trap set by Cheng Changgeng for Su Mian. He knew that Su Mian was thinking about how to ask him for a reward. Now that he made this request, Su Mian had no reason to refuse.
"Does the emperor keep his word?"
"I am the emperor, so my words are law."
"Okay! Let me go down and prepare."
Although this request was beyond Su Mian's expectations, it just so happened that before arranging today's surprise, he had thought about performing a piece himself.
But he changed his mind and thought that the emperor now knew about his being a fake eunuch, and he might not have exposed it just because he was soft-hearted. If he remembered it one day, he might kill him. It would be better for him to keep a low profile.
Furthermore, the Emperor has been extremely cold towards him recently, and they haven't even said a word to each other. It must be because the Emperor was drugged and had sex with him, and he was feeling uncomfortable about it, so he has to keep his tail between his legs and become a eunuch, right?
It makes sense, everything makes sense. This is Su Mian’s truest thought after a wave of analysis.
But I didn't expect that a little idea I had originally considered would come in handy now.
Su Mian went back to the room and changed out of the eunuch's clothes, then put on a set of shiny green casual clothes. No one knew where the original owner got this ugly clothes from, but it turned out to be useful by accident.
Then he cleared his throat, felt that everything was ready, and went to Mingzheng Hall again.
When he rushed into the hall again, everyone in the hall had been sent away by Cheng Changgeng, even Xiao Dezi was waiting outside the door.
Su Mian was a little confused.
[I am about to give such a wonderful performance, but the Dog Emperor is the only audience? Damn it! ]
Cheng Changgeng didn’t know what Su Mian was going to perform, he only knew that he was the only one who could watch Su Mian’s performance.
Besides, I felt that the clothes Su Mian was wearing were extremely ugly. It was all supported by his face. I couldn’t bear to look at it.
"Your Majesty, I am ready."
"Let's get started."
Following Cheng Changgeng's order, Su Mian cleared his throat, and even Xiao Dezi, who was guarding outside the door, stretched his ears to eavesdrop.
Su Mian adjusted her sleeves and found the intersection of the lights of the two candles. She closed her eyes and couldn't help laughing when she thought about what she was about to perform.
He held it in, raised his head and then lowered it, and the performance began.
"I planted a seed and it finally grew into fruit. Today is a great day~"
When Su Mian sang the first sentence, Cheng Changgeng was petrified on the spot. It sounded a little familiar to him, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Until Su Mian reached the climax while dancing and singing.
"You are my little apple, I can never love you enough~"
It turned out to be the old-fashioned brainwash song "Little Apple". Cheng Changgeng held his forehead and suddenly didn't want to admit that he and Su Mian came from the same world.
He suddenly felt a little regretful that he had driven everyone else away. He shouldn't be the only one to bear this sin, and he shouldn't be the only one to see this joke.
Su Mian, who was singing and dancing while observing Cheng Changgeng, felt complacent in his heart.
[Looking at the Dog Emperor’s reaction, he must have been convinced by me! No one can resist a brainwashing song! ]
Cheng Changgeng really wanted to tell him that he was convinced, truly convinced.
Seeing the smile on Cheng Changgeng's face, Su Mian didn't know that it was a bitter smile, so he sang more and more vigorously, and actually livened up the atmosphere. Cheng Changgeng listened and no one stopped to sing along.
[Oh, the Dog Emperor is quite talented. He can sing along after listening for a while. ]
Su Mian didn't think at all that Cheng Changgeng was also a time traveler. Cheng Changgeng didn't know whether he should be happy or speechless.
He suddenly thought that if he and Su Mian had a child in the future, he must not let Su Mian take care of the child, otherwise the child would be stupid to death.
Even he himself did not realize how ambiguous it was to want to have a child with someone.
"emperor."
Finally the dance was over, Su Mian bowed deeply, sweating and panting, and asked: "Are you satisfied with my performance?"
Su Mian looked at Cheng Changgeng expectantly with starry eyes, obviously very confident in her performance.
"Your performance... is very thoughtful. I... like it very much."
Putting aside the somewhat embarrassing feeling, Cheng Changgeng really liked Su Mian who was full of energy, rather than Su Mian who was timid in front of him and restrained in everything she did.
Furthermore, even if Su Mian stood there and recited "Goose, Goose, Goose", he would praise him for reciting it well, wonderfully, and brilliantly.
"Just ask for whatever you want."
As soon as Cheng Changgeng said this, Su Mian immediately started brainstorming. He originally thought that it would be difficult to deal with the Dog Emperor, so he didn't expect to succeed so quickly, and he didn't think about what the reward would be.
The situation was urgent and his mind was working quickly.
[Let the dog emperor personally present the award to the first place? ]
[Let the dog emperor give a title to the first place? ]
[Let the dog emperor turn over the number one sign and favor her for one night? ]
As soon as these ideas came to mind, Su Mian rejected them. The Dog Emperor would definitely not agree. After all, they were all controlling the Dog Emperor, and he would definitely not be able to accept it.
Cheng Changgeng listened to this, but he didn't know that Su Mian had denied it. The more he listened, the more restless he became. He suddenly regretted agreeing to him, fearing that Su Mian would sell him to someone else's bed in the next second.
He will definitely refuse it harshly!
[Got it!] ]
These two words popped up in Su Mian's mind, making Cheng Changgeng nervous. He leaned forward slightly, waiting for Su Mian to speak.
"Your Majesty, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and you have been busy with government affairs recently, and you are exhausted both physically and mentally. How about I go to the Han Palace with you to escape the heat in a few days?"
"Can."
Cheng Changgeng agreed readily. He thought Su Mian had come to terms with it and was willing to go with him alone.
But then he heard Su Mian say...
