Chapter 356: Extra 12: The Underworld
In the mind of Emperor Jingwen, Ye Shuo has always been a child who never grows up. Now that he has come to his senses, he realises that he is not young anymore.
The prince next to him calculated and said, “He is thirty, right?”
Even if he is less than thirty, it is probably not much different.
However, Xiaojiu, who is nearly thirty years old, now has only one princess. Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but be silent, and then they all looked at Emperor Taicheng, who had the most difficult time in terms of offspring.
Emperor Taicheng said that he felt offended.
Although, at this age, he still has one more prince than Xiaojiu. He at least has a son and a daughter. Looking at Xiaojiu, he is still a long way behind him!
The second prince couldn’t help but touch his chin: “Could it be that the feng shui in the imperial concubine’s palace is not good?”
Otherwise, how could one or two of them not give birth to children?
Could it be that the father also did something about this back then?
“If I didn’t miss it, Jianjian is not married yet, right?” This is interesting.Emperor Taicheng, who had also thought of this, seemed to be evasive, but in the eyes of Emperor Jingwen, the blatant look made Emperor Jingwen angry all of a sudden. It was true that the Duke of Zhenguo was powerful at the beginning, but he would not be so mean. He continued to make small moves when his two biological grandchildren were there, right?
It was clearly their own fault that they could not have children. It would be too unfair for him to blame it all.
Under the angry glare of Emperor Jingwen, Emperor Taicheng, who had thought too much, coughed lightly and quickly looked away.
He was satisfied in his heart, but then even Emperor Jingwen himself could not help but murmur, could it really be a feng shui problem? Did the Astrology Bureau deliberately choose that place when it was selected?
Thinking of this, Emperor Jingwen finally worried. What happened to these two emperors who had no offspring?
At this moment, although Emperor Jingwen, the father, was dead, he still couldn’t help but start to worry about the inheritance of his youngest son.
In the heart of Emperor Jingwen, no matter how great Xiaojiu’s achievements were, it was not as important as giving birth to a prince as soon as possible so that the Ye family’s kingdom could continue.
What was wrong with He Xiang and the others? Why didn’t they know they were anxious?
Thinking of this, Emperor Jingwen looked up and saw the scene of Xiaojiu holding Xiao Dingning to the court. Emperor Jingwen’s heart was immediately choked.
After all, it was the first child, and she was born so good-looking. Emperor Jingwen could understand Xiaojiu’s feelings at the moment. Even he was happy across the projection, but was it too rude to do so?
Emperor Jingwen, the father, frowned when he saw such a scene, but He Xiang and the others were like blind people, turning a blind eye to it.
Are they still the civil officials who would preach a few words when they got the chance?
Without waiting for Emperor Jingwen and Emperor Taicheng to express their opinions, Xiaojiu sat down, and then He Xiang and the others immediately solved all the problems that Da Zhou had encountered recently. 𝘙�
So they always say that they must say a few words before doing something serious, and they always beat around the bush and make people guess?
Emperor Jingwen and Emperor Taicheng both took a deep breath.
Seeing He Xiang and others again, they even felt upset because Xiao Jiu gave a small pair of glasses to the Taifu instead of them, and even automatically reflected on whether they had done anything to offend Xiao Jiu recently. In the end, they concluded that it was because they disagreed when Xiao Jiu led the army to the capital and left the queen to supervise the country, and Xiao Jiu guessed that they would treat them differently now.
Such a skilled sense of self-management really made the prince and others speechless.
Emperor Jingwen and Emperor Taicheng felt that they lost because they gave too much face to He Xiang and others before. So is it true that the emperor is too capable and the result of worrying too much is that the ministers will become lazy?
Then, when he heard the sentence [“Please have mercy on the people of the world and expand the branches and leaves for the Great Zhou to continue the descendants.”], Emperor Jingwen was immediately refreshed.
Here it comes, finally here, He Xiang and the others finally asked for it, if they didn’t urge him, he would be anxious to death.
Then, Emperor Jingwen and others saw Xiao Jiu was furious and scolded the ministers.
Everyone: “…”
“No, he is sick?” The second prince blurted out.
Among this group of people who have seven or eight wives and concubines, Ye Shuo, who only has one queen, seems so out of place. In the eyes of the second prince and others, isn’t he sick?
Asking Xiao Jiu to expand his harem is not to let him die. Even if he misses his queen in his heart, the most he can do is to give him more respect. Why bother to argue with the ministers because of such a trivial matter? Anyway, the second prince can’t understand it anyway.
At this moment, Emperor Jingwen already had a vague foreboding in his heart. After all, Xiao Jiu has done a lot of extraordinary things in recent years, and Emperor Jingwen would not be surprised if he did more extraordinary things.
Seeing that Xiao Jiu’s anger and rejection were almost undisguised on his face, Emperor Jingwen’s heart immediately sank.
You know, he had this expression when he got the will left by Xiao Yejin. In the end, he would not have compromised if there was no other way. But that time, he would die if he did not become the emperor. But now, the ministers can’t strangle him to death just because he doesn’t want to take a concubine, right? Even if He Xiang and others have this idea, they don’t have the ability to do so now!
After the previous battle, the military power of the border is now almost firmly in the hands of Xiao Jiu. His prestige has long surpassed that of Fang and Xu, who are generals. Because of the previous incident, General Fang and General Xu have a knot with Prince Ding. The two can’t rely on others and can only rely on Xiao Jiu. As for General Xu on the border of Chen State, he is a general of the old Duke of Zhenguo and naturally belongs to Xiao Jiu’s faction. In addition to the commander-in-chief Li Yuheng… If He Xiang and others want to force a marriage, they can only wait until the next life. Unless I crawl out of the imperial mausoleum now, there may be some hope.
Others…
…It can only be said that it is not optimistic.
Emperor Jingwen could not help but feel his eyes darkened.
“Is there really no one in this world who can stop him?”
Emperor Jingwen could not help but ask a soul-stirring question, but all he got was silence in the courtyard.
The crown prince has been unable to do anything with his younger brother since he was a child, and Emperor Taicheng even had to ask him for help in the end, not to mention the second and fourth princes. Thinking about it this way, isn’t Xiaojiu living too arrogant?
“In other words, the ninth uncle intends to have only Xiao Dingning as his child in this life.” The little emperor could not help but conclude.
Emperor Jingwen’s originally ugly face now darkened completely as if he had been stabbed by someone again. Such a weird thing would be fine if it happened to someone else, but Emperor Jingwen believed that this was something Xiaojiu could do.
Emperor Taicheng saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly covered his son’s mouth.
Little Emperor: “Mmmmm–“
The scene in front of them continued. Everyone watched as Prime Minister He and his men were in a state of panic. They kowtowed until their heads were broken, but Xiaojiu did not give in. Prince Su and Prince Jin were even more exhausted.
The two first approached Prince Ding. Emperor Jingwen could not help but show hope on his face, but Prince Ding was frightened by Xiaojiu and did not dare to answer at all.
“Bah, so useless.” Emperor Jingwen could not help but spit on them. Then Prince Su and Prince Jin approached Prince Five, Seven, and Eight. The three of them had watched Xiaojiu grow up since they were young. How could they not know what kind of temper Xiaojiu had? They did not say a word at all, for fear of offending Xiaojiu.
As for the old Duke Zhenguo… As soon as the incident happened, he closed the door on the grounds of illness. As expected of someone who could survive under the hands of Emperor Jingwen, he had a keen sense of smell and did not give the two princes this opportunity at all.
Finally, it was Queen Mother Wei. But for some reason, when Emperor Jingwen saw the scene of Queen Mother Wei getting along with the Queen’s second master, he felt uncomfortable and felt that he was being cheated.
Soon, Emperor Jingwen had no time to think about it. Prince Su and Prince Jin had gone through so much trouble, but as expected, they didn’t get anything.
In this case, you can imagine how He Xiang and others felt when Xiao Jiu said, “You can have a baby, but I will only have one baby with the Queen, and as for taking a concubine, don’t even think about it.”
It was like a long drought meeting a sweet rain. He Xiang and others in the picture seemed to have heard the sound of nature. Emperor Jingwen outside the picture was also very excited, and even the prince and others were slightly shocked.
You know, this is the first time that Xiao Jiu has compromised in her life. Isn’t it worth celebrating?
[“One is one.”] Fearing that Xiao Jiu would go back on his word, He Xiang and others in the picture hurriedly agreed.
Sure enough, Xiao Jiu is still sensible and not the kind of person who likes to do whatever he wants.
Looking at the tearful He Xiang, then at the comforting father, and then at the slightly relieved expressions of others, the fourth prince couldn’t help but slowly thought of a “?” in his mind.
No, are you so easily satisfied?
And father, can’t He Xiang and the others take a look at themselves first!
But obviously, Emperor Jingwen is now focusing all his attention on Xiaojiu’s second child, and has no time to pay attention to other things.
Because Xiaojiu and Yao Zhi are both in their prime, once they have a plan, they will soon have a result.
In the eyes of Emperor Jingwen, it is impossible for his son to not give birth to a son, so this pregnancy is definitely stable, and he didn’t notice the subtle expression of Yao Zhi when she asked her master to diagnose her pulse.
Ten months passed in a blink of an eye, and soon it was time for the fruit to fall.
Emperor Jingwen felt that he had never been so nervous in his life. No matter what, it must be a prince!
Emperor Jingwen almost went to the King of Hell to discuss letting him quickly give birth to a boy.
Well, actually Emperor Jingwen did ask in the middle, but the ghost did not give him a reply, but just said that everything in the world has its own destiny, and told him not to be too anxious, calm down, and the difficulties will be solved.
And such words fell into the ears of Emperor Jingwen, whose mentality was already unbalanced, and meant: Don’t worry, there is no problem, it must be the prince.
Even Emperor Taicheng and others thought so.
Until the final result came out, when they learned that it was another princess, everyone fell silent.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
How to say… Xiaojiu really has no fate with the prince.
When Emperor Jingwen saw Xiaojiu, who was beaming with joy and not disappointed at all, he couldn’t breathe and almost fainted.
No, it doesn’t matter, there is still the future, he doesn’t believe that Xiaojiu can really bear it!
Emperor Jingwen tried his best to comfort himself.
But as the picture played, Xiaojiu proved with facts that he could do it, he really could.
Emperor Jingwen’s heart suddenly died.
…
“Don’t look at it anymore. There is no hope for the Great Zhou.” Emperor Jingwen waved his hands. He felt discouraged and there was no hope in his life.
