fake prince

Chapter 225
"I'm here to see the emperor!" Princess Xinping said directly regardless of the rules.

Too listening, with a smiling face, bowed his waist: "Princess, please wait a while, Rong Nu will report to His Majesty."

With that said, he turned around and hurried inside.

Imperial study room

In the room that was brightly lit at all times, the gray-haired man in the yellow robe was frowning and flipping through a memorial.

"Nonsense, auspicious signs were discovered in Guangling Province? Auspicious signs were found only after the flood?"

After breaking the memorial, the emperor opened the backlog of memorials one by one. Some of them were concise and to the point, and they were indeed important matters. The emperor reviewed them with breathless concentration.

Some half of the articles are praises, but the emperor can only swear a few words, and he has to approve them for reading. As long as the business is done well and some auspicious words are added, the emperor will not be angry.

Only obviously doing nothing, only caring about auspiciousness, was severely criticized.

After reading all these, the emperor sighed and said to the outside, "Come here."

A bent eunuch came in quietly: "Your Majesty."

"Why is it you?" The emperor rubbed the center of his brows: "Didn't I tell you to rest for a few days before coming back? Why, you old bastard can't be idle anymore?"

The eunuch raised his head and showed a smiling face: "The only thing this old slave can do is to serve the emperor and let this old slave go back to rest. The old slave is still thinking about the emperor all the time, so he can't sleep at night, can't eat, no, Just ran away."

"You, go out for a while, your mouth is getting sweeter and smoother, you should be beaten!" The emperor laughed and cursed, seeing that the eunuch was very cooperative and twitched his mouth lightly, he immediately waved: "Okay, you go out now and get it for me!" Here comes a mirror."

"Old slave obeys the order." The eunuch bowed, facing the emperor, and slowly backed out. He didn't turn around until he walked out of the imperial study, and straightened his waist slightly.

"Eunuch Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time." A eunuch came over to please him and said.

It turned out that this was Superintendent Zhao who had just returned from Guangling Province. He was one of the chief eunuchs and had served the emperor since he was a child.

At this moment, he responded casually with a smile, and quickly went to the small storeroom to get the mirror.

Don't think it's a trivial matter, it can be handed over to these eunuchs, but Eunuch Zhao is used to being cautious, and he can only do it himself if he can do it himself.

Others also knew this person's habits, shook their heads, and stepped aside.

After a while, Eunuch Zhao came over with a tray padded with satin.

Everyone glanced over and found that it was a mirror.

"Your Majesty, this old slave has already brought the mirror." In the imperial study room, the emperor was sitting, when he heard a soft call, he hummed and looked over.

"Bring it," said the Emperor.

Eunuch Zhao carefully handed a glazed bronze mirror to the emperor.

The mirror surface of the bronze mirror was extremely smooth, and it still clearly reflected the appearance of the person in the mirror. The hand of the emperor holding the bronze mirror suddenly trembled slightly.

A sigh sounded.

"I'm old." The emperor's voice was extremely low, so low that it was inaudible: "Ah, Ji Zhen, do you have this day too?"

The gray-haired, old-fashioned person in the mirror is really me?

The high-spirited scene when he was enthroned back then seemed like yesterday. How could he become so old in the blink of an eye?

Although the emperor doesn't believe that the emperor can live forever, he is as honorable as himself, rich in the world, and he owns the whole world. He is the real emperor.

With one edict, it can confiscate long-lived and powerful demon clans and immortal gods, and make them bow their heads to obey orders. How can an emperor like himself, who has supreme power, grow old like ordinary people?
"It shouldn't be!" This kind of thing is becoming more and more difficult for the emperor to accept, especially the throne is obtained after too much sacrifice.

"Fu'er... oh, put it away." The emperor threw the mirror directly into Eunuch Zhao's arms, not looking at his hidden worried eyes, his face was a little uglier than before.

"Your Majesty, Princess Xinping is asking to see you outside the gate of the palace." At this time, a voice came from outside the door of the imperial study.

"Xinping?" The emperor was in a bad mood. When he heard that his favorite daughter was coming, he couldn't be happy, so he directly refused without thinking: "Just say that I am busy and don't have time to play with her."

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the old slave talk about it." Eunuch Zhao thought for a while and said.

The emperor loves Princess Xinping very much, even if he is angry for a while and says something, he will often regret it in the next day. In the current situation, the emperor may regret it again tomorrow.

It's better to go out by yourself and let the princess be more considerate to the emperor, so that the father and daughter will not be angry again in the future.

"Forget it, let her come in." As a result, the emperor's attitude changed even faster this time, and he changed his words without waiting until tomorrow.

Eunuch Zhao, who was not surprised by this, stopped going out, went to the door, and whispered a few words to the eunuch who reported, telling him to go out immediately.

"Xinping, this girl, has become more and more wild recently. With the Princess Mansion, she has forgotten her father..." The emperor couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Ben looked in the mirror and felt sad about the passing of his years, but now his emotions are much more sensitive.

The reason why he changed his mind to let Princess Xinping come in is because the emperor desperately needs the care of his family now, to calm down and make him feel that he is not really alone.

Among all the children, he really likes the innocence and loveliness of Xinping's daughter the most, but this does not prevent him from thinking that this daughter is a bit unreliable.

Thinking of the rumors he heard recently, the daughter was doing her own way and was still in contact with monks, so the emperor decided to take the opportunity to educate her.

Just as he was thinking, a burst of light footsteps came from far to near, and soon the door was opened again, and the visitor ran directly to the emperor, saluting with a smile: "Xinping has seen the emperor!"

The salute is also perfunctory.

The next moment, she stood up by herself, grabbed the emperor's arm, and said coquettishly, "Father, I miss you so much! Do you miss me!"

Because the emperor was worried about the flood some time ago, he didn't even enter the harem. Princess Xinping was restrained by Concubine Wu, and she didn't dare to run to the imperial study. Concubine Wu was afraid that her words and deeds would offend the emperor.

It is true that as Princess Xinping said, the father and daughter have not seen each other for a while.

The emperor sighed, but didn't push her away, and said helplessly, "You girl, do you really miss your father, or do you have something to ask your father to decide?"

"Hey! Of course I really miss my father!" Princess Xinping saw that the emperor's shoulders seemed to be uncomfortable, so she immediately ran behind him and tapped him.

"Father, you have been tired all day, take a break, let your daughter tap your shoulders, and relax!"

"You!" The emperor knew in his heart that something must have happened to this girl.

However, he, the father, was also satisfied with her kindness, so he allowed her to tap him on the shoulder for a while.

"By the way, father, my daughter has a new poem, can I read it to you, okay?" Princess Xinping learned how to be smart this time, so she didn't ask immediately, but said tentatively first.

The emperor closed his eyes and said slowly, "Well, read it."
