Chapter 349 She Can Make a Nest
These days, he no longer wants to see the ministers in the morning court.
Why didn't I notice they were so energetic before? The court used to be serious and a bit lifeless, but now it seems to be injected with mysterious power every day. Everyone is waiting for the morning court with high morale, and then preparing for battle with full energy and ready to go.
The emperor was an outsider, sitting upstairs every day and watching them engage in heated debates below.
Although he admitted that it was somewhat amusing, he could not stand the fact that they kept arguing and even had to drag him, who knew nothing, into judging.
The court was divided into several factions, and they impeached each other over trivial matters every day.
Emperor Xuanming could roughly guess the opposing situation in the story by watching them argue every day. If one camp was more silent on a certain day, that camp would probably be destroyed.
However, being destroyed in the story does not affect their quarrels outside the story.
It had been fine in the past, but today's quarrel was particularly fierce, and it almost led to another melee in front of him, during which the courtiers' snot and tears were mixed.
I heard it's the finale.
Moreover, the people in each camp died or were injured, and their fate was extremely miserable, which made the situation even worse.
Emperor Xuanming had just dealt with the affairs of the civil and military officials. When he heard that Prince Rui was looking for him after the court session, his heart trembled again.
In the past, he would have been happy.
After all, it is an opportunity to ease the relationship with my younger brother.
But Prince Rui also read the storybooks, and heard that he had a conflict with someone in front of the bookstore yesterday, and he called in the secret guards to detain the person and slapped the person in the street.
Emperor Xuanming fell silent when he heard the news.
Considering the state of the officials at the morning court today, his head started to hurt again.
I was thinking about whether I should find an excuse to avoid it.
"Brother, why don't you come in from outside?"
Unfortunately, the person had already been seen by Prince Rui, so Emperor Xuanming had no choice but to go into the house.
I looked at Prince Rui's face carefully. Apart from the usual dark circles under his eyes and the look of not having slept well, there were no tears or snot.
It seems to be okay.
As a loyal party member, Prince Rui was so happy that his mouth almost split open when he saw the ending. How could he possibly cry?
The heroine became the emperor.
He was happier than if he were the emperor, and watched the ending over and over again.
The emperor still feels happy when he sees others doing something. For example, when his elder brother became emperor, he was very happy because it meant that he could walk around the capital with his free will in the future.
But if he really were to take on the role, he probably wouldn't be able to laugh.
As a leisurely prince, he could sleep until noon every day and go fishing wherever he wanted.
Unlike his royal brother, he goes to bed late and gets up early, and has to pay public grain every month, and even his love affairs are like going to work.
When he first came to power, he wanted to concentrate on his career, but the civil and military officials in the court kept urging him to get married. After he had a queen and concubines, they began to urge him to have children, as if they wanted his brother to give birth to one hundred and eight babies in one night.
After they were married and had children, they started impeaching this person and that person, and quarreled to the death in the court over trivial matters.
Prince Rui got a headache whenever he saw those old ministers with stern faces. Every time he saw them, he pretended not to see them or turned around and left.
Emperor Xuanming asked, "Why aren't you reading the storybook at your house? What do you want to see me for?"
Prince Rui said truthfully: "It's too scary. Come to my brother's place for a while."
Emperor Xuan Ming was really curious. What kind of story was this? It was about party disputes, tear-jerking, and tragic love, and now there was a scary element.
Emperor Xuanming said, "I heard that the finale came yesterday? I saw that they were all in tears. You were in the same state before, too. Why don't you seem to feel anything today?"
When it came to this, Prince Rui had something to say. He raised his head proudly, as if he had led his troops to victory.
He kept narrating about how great the heroine was and how she walked step by step to the throne. Maybe because he was focused on the heroine's career, he didn't feel very abused. Instead, he was more moved by the heroine's hard journey and how moved she was to finally get what she wanted.
His daughter is really too powerful.
He was very pleased to see this.
Prince Rui realized something halfway through his speech and looked at the emperor. "Brother, I think you don't mind me saying this. This is just a story. Please don't misunderstand me."
Emperor Xuanming certainly didn't mind. If he had minded, he would have killed all the civil and military officials long ago.
“Why should I care about a false story?”
When Emperor Xuanming heard Prince Rui say that a female protagonist would be the emperor, he felt that the story could not be more false.
If a woman were to become emperor, all the civil and military officials in the court would not agree. How could she sit on that position?
Even if he could take the throne, if the court officials had no willingness to submit, it would only increase dissension and he would be pulled down sooner or later.
Prince Rui was not very happy to hear this. Although it was indeed a false story, it was coupled with the emperor's nonchalant and disdainful expression.
At first glance, it's clear that he strongly disagrees with the heroine becoming emperor.
The emperor's brother is a typical ignorant person who has never read the novel. He doesn't know the hardships the heroine has gone through, so of course he thinks that it is very easy and unrealistic for the heroine to become emperor.
Anyone who has seen it will never show this expression!
Prince Rui said: "My Royal Brother, what is your attitude? You are going too far!"
Emperor Xuan Ming was bewildered. What was wrong with his attitude? He looked kind, okay? If he was a suspicious emperor, he would have ordered the book to be banned and the author would have been found and assassinated.
He didn't even pursue the matter. Isn't his attitude good enough?
Prince Rui then began to expound on the heroine's excellence from every angle. Not only did he talk, he also forced Emperor Xuanming to listen.
Emperor Xuanming wanted to find an excuse to drive him out.
Prince Rui then used his ultimate move, crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang himself, "Five years ago, you kicked the 70-pound fish I caught with great difficulty into the ditch, and I didn't hold it against you."
"I'm going to make peace with you now. You don't even want to listen to anything I say. I'm not going to live anymore. What's the point of living? I'm a fish weighing over 70 kilograms. Can I give birth to a child this heavy when I get married and have children?"
"If I hadn't been in such a good mood, I would have jumped in and gone with the fish."
Emperor Xuanming's head was throbbing, and he retorted with a dark face: "It's obviously only more than 40 kilograms, how can it be more than 30 kilograms? Stop slandering me."
Prince Rui continued to throw a tantrum, "That fish is getting heavier in my memory. If I had brought it back home, it would have grown to at least 70 kilograms. What right do you have to say that I am slandering you? I don't care, I don't care, I don't care. If you don't like to hear it, then compensate me for the fish, you compensate me!"
"Five years ago, you kicked my 70-pound fish into the ditch, and now you still look down on the heroine I like. You don't even treat me as your brother."
Emperor Xuanming was helpless. "What on earth do you like? Your mother found a girl in the capital for you, but you didn't like her. You made such a fuss just for a role in a storybook."
Prince Rui got up from the ground and shouted, "She knows how to make a nest and can catch fish weighing more than 70 kilograms just like me. If there is a woman who can be as good as her, I will marry her."
He muttered, "The baby will definitely be able to fish."
