Chapter 634: Pure Buddhist Country Becomes a Country of Daughters
After hearing the report from the head maid Shu Xiu, Emperor Hongde looked at Empress Luan Xiying and raised his eyebrows. The meaning was very clear...
Look, look, I was right, wasn't I?
My son really came back overnight, right?
Empress Luan Xiying rolled her eyes at Emperor Hong De and turned to look at the palace entrance...
A tall and handsome figure soon appeared at the entrance of the hall.
Xiao Jingyu came in front of the emperor and empress like the wind.
"Your son pays respects to his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress!"
Xiao Jingyu stepped forward and saluted.
“No thanks!
Yu'er, come and sit beside your mother!"
The queen raised her hand to call Xiao Jingyu and pulled him to sit next to her.
He poured a cup of tea himself and placed it in Xiao Jingyu's hand, "Yu'er, you've been traveling back to the palace overnight, you must be tired, right?
Have some tea!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Xiao Jingyu took it, took two sips, and put the teacup down.
Emperor Hongde sat aside and looked at Xiao Jingyu, pretending to be puzzled and asked: "Yu'er, didn't you go to Yunxiang Mountain with the Anguo family?
At this time...you should be in Qingguo Temple.
Why did you come all the way back to the palace overnight?
Are you...something urgent?"
When Empress Luan Xiying heard Emperor Hongde say this, she turned her head to look at him in confusion, thinking, "Your Majesty, aren't you asking this even though you already know the answer?
Why did your son rush back to the palace in such a hurry...? Don't you know yet?
When I saw Emperor Hongde’s serious expression, I suddenly realized... uh... the emperor did it on purpose.
He is just having nothing to do and is playing with his son!
So, Queen Luan Xiying simply shut up and let the father and son talk on their own.
“Father is right.
I have urgent business to attend to, so I rushed back to the palace to see my father and mother."
Xiao Jingyu told the truth and did not hide anything.
Since this is a matter concerning his life, he has no intention of beating around the bush.
"Oh?
Yuer just went to Qingguo Temple to worship Buddha. What big deal could happen?
Can I still let you return to Beijing and enter the palace overnight?
Yu'er is not a child, stop joking!
Don’t you see what time it is now?
Your mother and I are ready to rest.
Or... why don't you go back to your Chengji Palace and have a nap first?
In two or three hours it would be time for the morning court session.
Let's wait until tomorrow morning, after lunch... and then talk slowly?"
Queen Luan Xiying rolled her eyes in her heart.
Where his son Xiao Jingyu couldn't see, he glared at Emperor Hong De fiercely.
Emperor Hong De just pretended not to see it and even yawned very appropriately.
Hearing his father say this, Xiao Jingyu lamented in his heart:
This is really a case of an impatient person meeting a slow person!
I was so anxious that I was furious, but my father seemed like nothing had happened!
And let me go back to Chengji Palace to sleep first?
Can you sleep by yourself?
We have to wait until tomorrow morning...
We have to wait until after lunch...
I can't wait!
This is what happens when those in power are confused.
Xiao Jingyu rushed back to the capital and the palace to meet his father and mother. He just wanted a definite explanation and to make his attitude clear.
Now I have seen my father and mother...
It’s just... his father’s attitude made Xiao Jingyu feel puzzled for a moment.
Xiao Jingyu knew that many court officials had submitted memorials at the morning court session today.
Together, they urged their father to revoke the imperial decree granting the marriage and to choose another girl from another family for them.
My father might get angry;
Or maybe you will hesitate...
But, it will never be like this—
It was as if there were no memorials submitted to the morning court;
There were no women who flocked to Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain...
Such a father...is not normal!
After looking at his father, he turned around and looked at his mother...
Xiao Jingyu's heart suddenly calmed down.
Xiao Jingyu reached out and took the teapot, poured another cup of tea and drank it, then he said, "Father, it's getting late!
You'd better tell me the truth quickly.
Otherwise, if I can't sleep, your father won't be able to sleep either!
Let’s treat tonight as New Year’s Eve!
I, your son, will accompany you...to celebrate the New Year!"
After saying that, he poured another cup of tea and sipped it slowly.
"Hey!
You unfilial son!
How dare you threaten me!"
Emperor Hongde raised his hand and nodded at Xiao Jingyu, then looked at Empress Luan Xiying and said, "Aying, look at how big your baby is!
Look at his attitude towards me, his father!"
"What happened to my great son?"
Queen Luan Xiying raised her eyebrows and glanced at Emperor Hongde and asked.
"My good eldest son traveled all night to find me a daughter-in-law who suits my taste. He went through so much hardship. How filial he is!
What?
Your Majesty, don't you think that my eldest son is filial?"
"Uh……"
Emperor Hongde shut up.
This is a gift question.
If your son is filial, then why did you pretend to be stupid at the beginning?
Saying that the son is unfilial offends both the mother and the son!
Forget it, I'd better stop joking!
The son was not in the mood to joke at the moment.
If you want to amuse your son, there will be time later.
Emperor Hong De took a sip of the teacup... The tea was cold...
Come on, let’s get down to business first!
If you delay any longer, you won’t be able to sleep!
"What is the current situation at Qingguo Temple?"
Emperor Hong De asked.
"What's the situation?
Father, you will know if you think about it...
The originally pure Buddhist country has almost turned into a land of women from today onwards!"
