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 Haoranâs just-right strength and comfortable massage, he would definitely have asked the guards to kick this person out.
He was reallyââŹÂŚ too detestable, making him happy for nothing.
Qi Xiuyuan closed his eyes and collapsed on the chair, then said coldly, âSince your sister-in-law and I arenât in good health, weâll 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?â Qi Haoran looked at Qi Xiuyuan, whose face had suddenly turned cold, and chuckled.
âBig Brother, I know.
Itâs for the sake of my offspring.
Itâs just that I was too busy and didnât go home that often because I just arrived in Lingnan.
Donât worry, when I go again this time, Iâll definitely juggle both national matters and domestic matters well.â Qi Xiuyuan said calmly, âItâs good that you know.â Qi Haoran secretly stuck out his tongue above Qi Xiuyuanâs head.
Of course, he knew what his big brother was worried about.
The poison had weakened Qi Xiuyuanâs body.
Although he had almost fully recovered, the fact that he had been poisoned before meant that he was weaker than ordinary people.
He did not have many offspring, but in the huge empire, Little Treasure couldnât be solely relied upon without any help.
In the future, Little Treasureâs 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 couldnât be the only ones.
If the two brothers didnât 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 didnât 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 extremely 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 Xiuyuanâs forehead.
What could they do about fate?
Qi Xiuyuan felt drowsy from Qi Haoranâs massage.
Thinking of how his brother had said that he wouldnât leave the palace today, he pushed his hand away, stood up, picked out a memorial, and pushed it to the side.
âTake a look at this while I go rest first.â 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 memorial on the table in the empty hall.
The emissary stepped forward in fear and whispered, âYour Highness, do you want to rest too?â At the thought that new memorials 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 memorials.
Because of the conferment ceremony, the court meetings had stopped since yesterday.
If there was something 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 oâclock.
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 came to seek an audience, Qi Haoran yawned and asked the emissary to wake the Emperor up.
Meanwhile, he lay on the table and did not move.
Qi Xiuyuan came out refreshed.
It had been a few days since heâd 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.
âBig Brother, Iâm hungry.
Can we eat first before discussing work matters?â âLetâs not waste any more time.
Get someone to bring breakfast over and invite the Left Minister and the others over.
Weâll talk while eating.â Qi Xiuyuan had the final say in the palace, so naturally, no emissary would be so daft to come 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 Emperorâs words were the rules.
When Qi Haoran followed Qi Xiuyuan to wash up, he casually grabbed an emissary and said, âGo and instruct the guard at the door to send someone to the Qi Residence to tell the Princess Consort that I have things to do in the palace and wonât be going home today.
Let her arrange the matters in the residence herself.â Qi Xiuyuan stopped in his tracks and turned around.
âLet Eunuch Wan go.
If you send a random emissary to inform her, will she believe you?
Just nice, ask him to bring your Princeâs costume to the palace.
Donât bother leaving the palace tonight, too.
Follow me to worship the heavens tomorrow.â Eunuch Wan hurriedly replied in a low voice, âYes.â He looked at Qi Haoran, indicating that âIf you have anything else to say, hurry up and say it.
Iâll pass the message on your behalf.â Qi Xiuyuan ignored the two of them and left.
Qi Haoran pulled Eunuch Wan aside and instructed him in a hushed voice, âOffering sacrifices to the heavens and the conferment of the Crown Prince are very important ceremonies.
The little heir is still young.
Tell the Princess Consort that she canât let him enter the palace no matter what.
Tell her to make arrangements for him before coming tomorrow.
Iâll pick her up at the palace gate.â Eunuch Wanâs eyebrows twitched.
He felt that this was a difficult task, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there probably wasnât 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 something serious had happened in the palace.
Just as she was about to ask someone, 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, âQuickly invite him in.â 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.
âGreetings, Your Highness.
Greetings, Little Prince.â Mu Yangling returned a bow and said, âEunuch Wan, youâre too polite.
Do you have any instructions from His Majesty?â Eunuch Wan was the chief eunuch of the Palace of Heavenly Purity and was in charge of Qi Xiuyuanâs matters.
Mu Yangling had not seen him many times and did not have close ties with him.
However, she often met Eunuch Wei of the Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
Usually, the person who came to her residence to deliver the message was either an emissary or Eunuch Wei.
Every time Eunuch Wan came, 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, âHis Majesty asked me to pass a message to you.
He said that the palace is busy and needs Prince Rongâs help, thus Prince Rong wonât be leaving the palace tonight.
He even asked me to bring Prince Rongâs costume into the palace to save time.â Mu Yangling quickly turned around and asked Spring to fetch Qi Haoranâs costume.
It was the Princeâs most elaborate costume and was rarely worn.
Hence, she had long washed it and dried it.
At this moment, it was kept in the cabinet.
After giving her instructions, Mu Yangling turned around and asked Eunuch Wan, âWhat other instructions does His Majesty have?â âHis Majesty only instructed me to do this one thing.
Prince Rong did, however, ask me to pass a few words to Your Highness.â âGo ahead.â âHis Highness said that the little heir is still young and might not withstand the burden of the worship ceremony and the Crown Princeâs conferment ceremony, so he asked you to make arrangements for him.
No matter what, you canât bring the little heir into the palaceââŹÂŚâ Mu Yangling blinked and gestured for Eunuch Wan to stop talking, but it was already too late.
She saw that her sonâs eyes rapidly filled up with tears.
He abruptly looked up at his mother, and Mu Yangling immediately raised her head to prevent him from discovering it.
However, Little Bearâs movements were sudden and fast.
When he saw his mother acting evasively, he immediately found an outlet for his grievance.
He pounced into Mu Yanglingâs 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!
