"Hmm?" Jin Zijin finally understood why she was acting so unusually last night.
"Do you still want to have a child?"
"Of course!" Gu Youyou said with a smile: "I’ve calculated the days; these days are good for pregnancy!"
Jin Zijin laughed bitterly and said, "Looks like we’ll have to put in so extra effort these days. Co on, let’s go out and eat sothing; I fear you won’t have the stamina!"
"Nonsense, why don’t you say you lack stamina?"
"Who was the one begging for rcy last night?"
Gu Youyou: "..."
Xiang Chun had been guarding outside the courtyard gate, and upon hearing the commotion inside, she couldn’t bother with anything else, quickly pushing the gate open to enter.
Gu Youyou frowned and said, "Xiang Chun, what makes you so flustered? Have you forgotten the rules?"
In both her lives, Gu Youyou shared the sa quirk: she didn’t like anyone entering her bedroom or private space without her permission. Given the poor soundproofing in ancient tis and the spaciousness of private spaces, this habit gradually extended to the entire courtyard.
Xiang Chun, thinking of how the Emperor was still waiting for them, couldn’t care less about anything other than saying, "The Emperor has co; he arrived early this morning and has been waiting for a long ti."
"Ah...?" Gu Youyou was stunned, "Why didn’t you wake earlier?"
"I..." Xiang Chun said: "This maid thought it was important since the Emperor’s visit is a major event, certainly warranting your presence. However, the Emperor stopped , saying not to disturb you, only asking to wait outside."
With this... Gu Youyou looked awkwardly at Jin Zijin, giving him a little nudge.
Jin Zijin didn’t look too good, maintaining a composed face as he walked out of the courtyard.
"Well, since he’s here, we can’t very well not et him, can we?" Gu Youyou held her forehead, pondering the coincidence. Normally, she didn’t sleep in, and yet today, she slept late only to be caught in the act.
With that, she hurriedly followed.
Having overslept, they finally left the courtyard to et the Emperor, creating a truly awkward atmosphere in the flower hall.
Gu Youyou earnestly greeted the Emperor, and after receiving permission to sit, she sowhat bashfully took a seat on the stool beside.
Wise individuals don’t beat around the bush; the Emperor straightforwardly said, "You know what I an!"
"Yes, I do!" Jin Zijin said, "I also understand what I an."
The atmosphere was sowhat tense, prompting Gu Youyou to call Jin Xuyao over, leading him away.
Such matters are best left for them to negotiate personally.
Xiang Chun, frightened and sweating early in the morning upon seeing Gu Youyou erge, hurriedly asked, "Why did the Emperor co so early?"
Gu Youyou, usually kind to them, sotis emboldened them.
Gu Youyou had no choice but to say with a stern face, "Send so tea inside, and don’t pry into things you shouldn’t!"
"Oh, this maid will do it right away!"
In the flower hall, the Emperor waved his hand, dismissing everyone around him, leaving only himself and Jin Zijin in the room.
Looking at his eldest son, sitting upright like a pine, the Emperor felt a sense of helplessness.
He could control anyone in the world; if soone didn’t obey, he found ways to get rid of them. But with Jin Zijin, he felt powerless.
"Do you still hold resentnt towards ?"
Jin Zijin replied lightly, "Life is short, re decades. I don’t have the energy to harbor grudges against soone. You’re overthinking it."
"Then tell , why are you unwilling to be the Crown Prince, the Emperor?"
"Everyone has their ambitions. Your desire to be the Emperor doesn’t an I share it!"
"But there’s no one in the world who wouldn’t want to be Emperor!" The Emperor’s voice rose slightly, appearing sowhat agitated.
Jin Zijin still spoke lightly, "Then find soone willing to take that role; that person isn’t !"
