Don't think that the position of Emperor was very grand. In fact, this position demanded that he wake before the rooster and sleep later than the dogs, worrying and working hard, needing to handle all of the Imperial edicts piled onto his table.
While Emperor Tianchen was reading through them, Gu Bai didn't make any trouble, obediently nestling in the other's arms. His tail slowly wagged, his eyes also resting upon the edicts.
Although the Wei Country was certainly rich and powerful, and the small neighboring states didn't dare to provoke them, there were always unforeseen natural disasters.
Wei Country's fortune for the next few years wasn't good. The northwestern region had been going through a drought for two years, while the eastern region had been repeatedly flooded. The mon people had no way of making a living. They managed to find a decent solution, but natural disasters were difficult to predict. Although Emperor Tianchen had the talent for ruling a country, he had no other alternatives.
In the middle of the plot, Prince Rui whom Su Xinru had conspired with used this to sow discord.
The uneducated moners didn't understand, and adding on the superstitions of this dynasty, they began to plain one by one. So when Prince Rui seized the throne and the natural disasters receded, there was unexpectedly not a single person that protested. They all supported the ascension of the new emperor.
Emperor Tianchen carefully read the edicts with wrinkles on his forehead. Gu Bai's heart was also heavy.
The original host wanted to stop Su Xinru from harming Emperor Tianchen. So, of course, he needed to think up a way to preserve Emperor Tianchen's position. It was just that these natural disasters were truly difficult to settle.
Even though Yao could perform magic, the problem was that the original host was too lacking. He couldn't even transform. If he wanted to move mountains and drain seas, summon lightning and bestow rain, it would be as difficult as scaling the heavens.
When he thought of his current situation, Gu Bai became depressed and couldn't help but sigh.
"What are you thinking of?"
Emperor Tianchen who had just been reading through the edicts suddenly took note of Gu Bai's movement. When he saw the other's human-like movements, his furrowed brows suddenly loosened. He had already determined that this little dog was very special. If it wasn't a Yao, then it was a supernatural being.
He couldn't resist putting down his brush and edicts, his hand fortingly stroking over Gu Bai's back.
A dog's body was typically more sensitive than a person's, so the petting brought forth a limp, trembling sensation. Gu Bai couldn't help but let out a satisfied whimper.
After he called out, black lines ran across Gu Bai's face, but he quickly adapted to it. The original host's emotions caused him to greatly like being intimate with Emperor Tianchen.
Besides, he noticed that this short moment was similar to the middle of the plot. He wasn't like other Yao and wasn't afraid of Emperor Tianchen's Purple Dragon Qi. Instead, when he was by his side, he could feel indications that his abilities were growing.
In other words, Emperor Tianchen's Dragon Qi was very beneficial to his cultivation.
Thinking of this, Gu Bai immediately cheered up. If it was like this, then it would be easy to handle. As long as he had the energy, he could help Emperor Tianchen settle the natural disasters!
Emperor Tianchen actually didn't know what he was thinking. When he saw the extremely dependent movement from Gu Bai, his heart was very fortable and a wave of affection came over him. He felt that when he had e across this little thing, it was like his heart had softened into a puddle of water.
"Your Majesty, this dog likes you very much……" The eunuch by his side observed and started to flatter him. "Seeing that it is no longer early in the day, would Your Majesty like a meal? This slave can see that the dog looks hungry……"
When Gu Bai listened to the palace eunuch's words and heard about a meal, his ears immediately perked up. His eyes brightened when he thought of an emperor's meals.
When he was staying in the pet room for a month, if the palace eunuchs didn't give him raw meat, they gave him dog food. He didn't have a single ounce of human rights, and he'd long since had enough!
"Woof, woof!"
Gu Bai immediately curried favor with Emperor Tianchen and called out twice. He wanted to eat rice, he wanted to eat dim sum, and he wanted to eat what people ate. He didn't want to eat raw meat and dog food anymore.
"Hehe, you want to eat? Then we shall……"
Normally, if he hadn't finished his governmental affairs, Emperor Tianchen wouldn't rest. However, he was in a very good mood today, as if the people of the country weren't as important as the little dog in front of him.
As the emperor, everything he did was bound by rules and regulations. Though Emperor Tianchen certainly wasn't extravagant and wasteful and could be considered more frugal than past emperors, there were still nine dishes on his table, which symbolized the authority of the emperor.
"Take those things away. He will eat the same things as Zhen……"
Sitting in front of the spread of dishes, Emperor Tianchen placed Gu Bai directly onto the table. Having seen the little palace eunuch bring over the minced-meat dog food, Emperor Tianchen waved him away without a second thought.
When he turned and faced Gu Bai's delighted gaze, he smothered a smile. Since the dog was a Yao or a spirit, then it couldn't eat pet and livestock food. Besides, he would also have hated to do such a thing to the dog.
He watched Gu Bai's expression, and when he saw him looking at a dish, Emperor Tianchen would take a piece from the dish and place it into the bowl in front of him.
Gu Bai had long since begun to drool. The hosts in his tasks didn't lead poor lives, so his appetite and standards had been raised early on. As the saying went, going from a simple to an extravagant lifestyle was easy, but going from an extravagant to a simple lifestyle was difficult. Even moreso, this time, his body and temperament was a dog's.
Just when Emperor Tianchen brought over the chopsticks, Gu Bai ducked his head as quick as lightning, extended his tongue, and gulped down the small morsel of food.
The action was like a clap of thunder, vigorous and nimble. When the food was in his mouth, his cheeks puffed up around it.
His eyes narrowed; he was so deeply intoxicated and happy that he wanted to cry. pared to the raw meat and minced meat……it really was too, too, too, too damn tasty! It was still better to be human!
"Woof, woof……" He still wanted more!
Gu Bai shamelessly bowed down under the temptation of good food. He called out to Emperor Tianchen two more times, his tail wagging, and his glossy eyes full of expectation.
With his limited understanding, the palace eunuch rushed over. Even if it was a dumb animal, it still couldn't offend His Majesty in such a manner.
"Your Majesty, let this slave serve the dog……"
"No, Zhen likes him very much……"
Emperor Tianchen seemed indifferent, but he was in fact in a very good mood. Even his words towards the palace eunuch were more gentle than usual, and he picked up a piece of braised meat and used his chopsticks to feed it into Gu Bai's mouth.
Seeing him eat it and even use his pink and tender tongue to lick the chopsticks, Emperor Tianchen couldn't help but laugh with joy.
Seeing this, the always attentive palace eunuch could only drop the matter. He muttered gloomily in his heart that he had served His Majesty for so long, but he had never heard him laugh. Regardless of whether it was towards the court council or towards the harem, His Majesty had always maintained an enigmatic, cold expression. This little dog really was amazing……
Gu Bai didn't care what the palace eunuch thought, as now he just wanted to eat and drink well. His body originally wasn't that of an ordinary dog's, so his appetite naturally was large. After a short amount of effort, the table was cleared of a good number of dishes.
Aware that Emperor Tianchen had been feeding him but hadn't eaten himself, Gu Bai stopped eating and raised his head to look at the emperor. In his heart, the original host's emotions bubbled up, giving him an indescribable happiness.
Thinking of this, Gu Bai wanted to grab more dishes, but he remembered that he was currently a dog and that he couldn’t do a difficult action like picking things up with chopsticks. Picking things up with his mouth didn't seem very appropriate either.
"Woof, woof."
After thinking, he crawled towards an untouched dish and used his paw to push it towards Emperor Tianchen. He called out to hint to the other that he should eat. He was currently the golden thigh that Gu Bai had to hold close, so he knew he had to fawn over him to achieve the desired results.
"This small thing is full of intentions, hahaha……"
Emperor Tianchen was instantly delighted by Gu Bai's fawning, and he dotingly picked up the chopsticks. He didn't care that Gu Bai had just licked the chopsticks; his gaze was overflowing with delight.
The instant Gu Bai heard his words, his good mood vanished. He couldn't help but cover his forehead, he wasn't a "small thing
