In a blink of an eye, Xiao Fuxuan also reached the stage of choosing the Crown Princess. Fu Yu called Xiao Fuxuan over and asked him if he had a woman he liked.
"Your Highness, I will obey your Mother and Father's orders."
Xiao Yuying raised an eyebrow, "Brother, you are lying. You clearly have a woman you like."
Fu Yu patted the seat beside her and motioned Xiao Fuxuan to sit next to her.
Xiao Fuxuan sat down properly, and glanced at Xiao Yuying who was in Fu Yu's arms, signaling her not to talk too much.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yuying is fearless and not even afraid of the cold-faced Xiao Yuchen. Her only concern is her mother Fu Yu.
She's a typical mama's girl.
"Mother, last time I saw him, he was so lost in thought at a maid from the East Palace that his eyes were almost falling on her!"
"Nonsense! Nianqing is not a maid, she is the fiancée of the son of the Dali Temple's Junior Minister. Besides, I didn't even stare at her..."
Xiao Fuxuan spoke the last few words with a guilty conscience.
Fu Yu understood, "It seems that there really is such a person."
"Mother, she is already engaged to another man. I, your son, only, only..."
"You like her."
Xiao Fuxuan clenched his fists and nodded in embarrassment.
"I was attracted to her the first time I saw her. I have never felt this way about any other woman. I..."
"I will marry her, is it so difficult to say?"
Xiao Yuchen walked into the hall, the dragon robe on his body looked majestic and solemn.
He stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of hope towards Xiao Fuxuan's indecision between his brows.
She stood beside Xiao Fuxuan and raised her hand to signal him to move away so as not to occupy her exclusive seat next to Fu Yu.
Xiao Fuxuan pursed his lips and muttered, "Not everyone is as shameless as my father, who fell in love at first sight and tricked my mother into the palace. I, your son, cannot do such a thing~"
"What did you say?"
Xiao Yuchen's voice was as cold as ice.
The air was eerily quiet. Fu Yu cleared his throat and slapped Xiao Yuchen's hand as if as a punishment.
"Fu Xuan is still a child."
"Child? When I was his age, I had already proclaimed myself emperor and debated with many scholars!"
"Okay."
Fu Yu's harsh words made Xiao Yuchen stop talking immediately. He moved his thin lips in grievance, "Ayu, I'm telling the truth. He is a coward and incompetent, yet he still makes fun of me."
Xiao Yuchen and Fu Yu held hands, as if seeking comfort.
Xiao Fuxuan rolled his eyes to the sky.
Forget it.
It would be more reliable to pray that the sun rises from the west than to expect the emperor to understand his holy feelings for Nianqing.
But he never expected that that night, his father would have a heartfelt conversation with him, a conversation between men.
"Do you really like that Gu Nianqing?"
"Father, you don't have to worry about it."
Xiao Yuchen looked at Xiao Fuxuan, who turned his head away with a look of dissatisfaction, and sneered twice.
"You only know that I tricked Ah Yu into the palace, but you don't know..."
His father told him a story.
The little boy was once locked in a dog cage, and no one cared about his life or death.
There were lightning, thunder, and heavy rain outside. The people who bullied him just let him get drenched in the rain and refused to help him.
Finally, a little girl in brocade clothes staggered to the dog cage, opened the umbrella in her hand, and shielded the rain from the little dog's head.
The boy couldn't see the girl's face clearly, he only saw her kindly handing him the steamed buns and speaking softly.
"Xiao Yuchen, you have to live. You have to live uprightly and honestly."
Shao Ge, who had never eaten white flour buns before, wolfed them down and looked at the little girl with greed on his face.
He thought that the little girl must be as delicious as white flour buns.
It is sweet, soft and fragrant.
Shao Ge finally escaped from the dog cage and looked everywhere for the little girl.
Knowing that the little girl's family was broken up and she was exiled to the capital, the young master rushed back as soon as possible...
