Chapter 750: Reject Chapter 750: Reject Editor: Atlas Studios The good mood that had just arisen within Qi Xiuyuan instantly disappeared.
If not for Qi Haoran’s just-right strength and comfortable massage, he would definitely have asked the guards to kick this person out.
He was really… too detestable, making him happy for nothing.
Qi Xiuyuan closed his eyes and collapsed on the chair, then said coldly, “Since your sister-in-law and I aren’t in good health, we’ll have to depend on you and Ah Ling to add more offspring to the Qi family.
You should be more focused on having more children.
Why do you think I let Ah Ling bring Little Bear to the southwest to accompany you?” Qi Haoran looked at Qi Xiuyuan, whose face had suddenly turned cold, and chuckled.
“Big Brother, I know.
It’s for the sake of my offspring.
It’s just that I was too busy and didn’t go ho that often because I just arrived in Lingnan.
Don’t worry, when I go again this ti, I’ll definitely juggle both national matters and dostic matters well.” Qi Xiuyuan said calmly, “It’s good that you know.” Qi Haoran secretly stuck out his tongue above Qi Xiuyuan’s head.
Of course, he knew what his big brother was worried about.
The poison had weakened Qi Xiuyuan’s body.
Although he had almost fully recovered, the fact that he had been poisoned before ant that he was weaker than ordinary people.
He did not have many offspring, but in the huge empire, Little Treasure couldn’t be solely relied upon without any help.
In the future, Little Treasure’s brothers and male cousins would have to help him.
Naturally, the more children there were in the Qi family, the better.
At the very least, Little Treasure and Little Bear couldn’t be the only ones.
If the two brothers didn’t have many children, while Qi Shaosheng and Qi Shaosheng had plenty of offspring, Great Qi might fall into their hands after two generations.
After all, even if they didn’t want to admit it, those two were the closest to them in blood ties.
Of course, Qi Haoran also wanted to make babies.
He had worked hard when he was in Qiannan.
For this, he and Ah Ling had even asked Imperial Physician Wang to check their health.
Imperial Physician Wang said that both of them were fine and were extrely healthy.
As for why Mu Yangling did not get pregnant, the imperial physician could only attribute it to fate.
Qi Haoran sighed as he rubbed Qi Xiuyuan’s forehead.
What could they do about fate?
Qi Xiuyuan felt drowsy from Qi Haoran’s massage.
Thinking of how his brother had said that he wouldn’t leave the palace today, he pushed his hand away, stood up, picked out a morial, and pushed it to the side.
“Take a look at this while I go rest first.” Qi Xiuyuan turned around and entered the inner room.
The emissary quickly helped him change his clothes.
Without bothering to take a shower, he just pulled up the blanket to lie down.
Almost as soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep, leaving Qi Haoran staring at the morial on the table in the empty hall.
The emissary stepped forward in fear and whispered, “Your Highness, do you want to rest too?” At the thought that new morials would be sent over at dawn, Qi Haoran waved his hand and asked him to set up a table and chair for him while he reviewed the morials.
Because of the confernt ceremony, the court etings had stopped since yesterday.
If there was sothing important to report, one could directly enter the palace to report it to the Emperor.
Hence, Qi Xiuyuan did not need to wake up at five o’clock.
Naturally, Qi Haoran would not let the emissary wake him up as soon as he fell asleep.
He let him sleep until the sky was bright outside.
When the Left and Right Ministers and a few important ministers ca to seek an audience, Qi Haoran yawned and asked the emissary to wake the Emperor up.
anwhile, he lay on the table and did not move.
Qi Xiuyuan ca out refreshed.
It had been a few days since he’d rested so well.
He went forward and kicked his dumb brother with the tip of his foot.
Seeing that he did not move, he grabbed the back of his collar and picked him up.
As expected, Qi Haoran was just pretending to be asleep.
With a sigh, he stood up.
“Big Brother, I’m hungry.
Can we eat first before discussing work matters?” “Let’s not waste any more ti.
Get soone to bring breakfast over and invite the Left Minister and the others over.
We’ll talk while eating.” Qi Xiuyuan had the final say in the palace, so naturally, no emissary would be so daft to co forward and say that this was against the rules.
This was what imperial power was like.
When the imperial power was weak, the rules set by the imperial family were rules.
When the imperial power was above everyone, the Emperor’s words were the rules.
When Qi Haoran followed Qi Xiuyuan to wash up, he casually grabbed an emissary and said, “Go and instruct the guard at the door to send soone to the Qi Residence to tell the Princess Consort that I have things to do in the palace and won’t be going ho today.
Let her arrange the matters in the residence herself.” Qi Xiuyuan stopped in his tracks and turned around.
“Let Eunuch Wan go.
If you send a random emissary to inform her, will she believe you?
Just nice, ask him to bring your Prince’s costu to the palace.
Don’t bother leaving the palace tonight, too.
Follow to worship the heavens tomorrow.” Eunuch Wan hurriedly replied in a low voice, “Yes.” He looked at Qi Haoran, indicating that ‘If you have anything else to say, hurry up and say it.
I’ll pass the ssage on your behalf.’ Qi Xiuyuan ignored the two of them and left.
Qi Haoran pulled Eunuch Wan aside and instructed him in a hushed voice, “Offering sacrifices to the heavens and the confernt of the Crown Prince are very important ceremonies.
The little heir is still young.
Tell the Princess Consort that she can’t let him enter the palace no matter what.
Tell her to make arrangents for him before coming tomorrow.
I’ll pick her up at the palace gate.” Eunuch Wan’s eyebrows twitched.
He felt that this was a difficult task, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there probably wasn’t anything wrong with the task considering Prince Rong doted on the Princess Consort so much.
He decided that he was overthinking it and agreed with a smile.
Seeing that Qi Haoran did not return the entire night, Mu Yangling was initially worried that sothing serious had happened in the palace.
Just as she was about to ask soone, Eunuch Wan arrived.
Mu Yangling comforted Little Bear, who was pestering her to ask Qi Haoran to bring him to ride a horse.
She said in a low voice, “Quickly invite him in.” With outsiders around, Little Bear quietened down.
He opened his round eyes and looked at Eunuch Wan.
Eunuch Wan subconsciously gave him a big smile and bowed.
“Greetings, Your Highness.
Greetings, Little Prince.” Mu Yangling returned a bow and said, “Eunuch Wan, you’re too polite.
Do you have any instructions from His Majesty?” Eunuch Wan was the chief eunuch of the Palace of Heavenly Purity and was in charge of Qi Xiuyuan’s matters.
Mu Yangling had not seen him many tis and did not have close ties with him.
However, she often t Eunuch Wei of the Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
Usually, the person who ca to her residence to deliver the ssage was either an emissary or Eunuch Wei.
Every ti Eunuch Wan ca, he would bring a decree from the Emperor.
Eunuch Wan knew that the Emperor trusted Prince Rong and Princess Consort Rong, so he was very polite in front of Mu Yangling.
Hearing this, he said with a smile, “His Majesty asked to pass a ssage to you.
He said that the palace is busy and needs Prince Rong’s help, thus Prince Rong won’t be leaving the palace tonight.
He even asked to bring Prince Rong’s costu into the palace to save ti.” Mu Yangling quickly turned around and asked Spring to fetch Qi Haoran’s costu.
It was the Prince’s most elaborate costu and was rarely worn.
Hence, she had long washed it and dried it.
At this mont, it was kept in the cabinet.
After giving her instructions, Mu Yangling turned around and asked Eunuch Wan, “What other instructions does His Majesty have?” “His Majesty only instructed to do this one thing.
Prince Rong did, however, ask to pass a few words to Your Highness.” “Go ahead.” “His Highness said that the little heir is still young and might not withstand the burden of the worship ceremony and the Crown Prince’s confernt ceremony, so he asked you to make arrangents for him.
No matter what, you can’t bring the little heir into the palace…” Mu Yangling blinked and gestured for Eunuch Wan to stop talking, but it was already too late.
She saw that her son’s eyes rapidly filled up with tears.
He abruptly looked up at his mother, and Mu Yangling imdiately raised her head to prevent him from discovering it.
However, Little Bear’s movents were sudden and fast.
When he saw his mother acting evasively, he imdiately found an outlet for his grievance.
He pounced into Mu Yangling’s arms and hugged her thigh tightly, then let out a loud wail that shook the heavens and earth.
It was simply heartbreaking to hear, and anyone who saw such a sight was bound to weep!
