How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Seeing that Emperor Jian did not agree, Xie Chengze was too lazy to act out the father-son love with him anymore. He just lay back on the bed and sighed.

"As expected, a man's words are deceiving. This son of yours has finally been proven."

Emperor Jian: ...

Emperor Jian didn't understand. What was wrong with attending court? Wasn't it just getting up at the hour of Mao every morning to go to the palace, then listening to the various parties eliminating dissidents and impeaching each other, then waiting for the ministers to report the political disasters in various places, and finally watching the ministers of various departments bickering and blaming each other...

Ok.

Emperor Jian wiped his sweat silently. Even he had to watch little Chengze jumping around every day to feel better when he went to court. What's more, Xie Chengze now had no interest in going to court.

For a second, Emperor Jian even missed Xie Chengze who used to punch in at court every day.

"How about this? I allow you to take a half-month break every month from now on. How about that?" Emperor Jian suggested, "Just come once every two days."

"Work five at the beginning of the month and rest five days, work five in the middle of the month and rest five days, and work five at the end of the month and rest five days." Xie Chengze stretched out five slender white fingers and shook them, "I don't want to be bald at an early age like those ministers. If I can't find a prince's wife, I will end up alone for the rest of my life."

"That's fine." Emperor Jian nodded. Speaking of the prince's wife, he suddenly realized that Xie Chengze was indeed old enough to get married. He couldn't help but jokingly asked, "You suddenly care so much about your appearance. Are you interested in the daughter of some minister?"

"That's not the case." Xie Chengze said seriously, "I just fell in love with the son of a minister."

"Cough!" Emperor Jian was choked by his saliva and started to cough while beating his chest. Eunuch Zhao cried out in pain and hurried forward to help Emperor Jian to calm down. He glanced at Xie Chengze in a reproachful and helpless manner, "Second Prince! Don't say such nonsense. You scared His Majesty!"

"What's wrong?" Xie Chengze continued with a serious face, "I don't need a child to inherit the throne, so what's wrong with finding a man to live with? Not only do I want to find one, I want to find ten!"

His tone was firm and full of fighting spirit, "And each one has to look different!"

Eunuch Zhao's eyes went dark: "Oh my God - my little ancestor!"

Emperor Jian coughed even harder, "Cough cough cough! You, cough cough cough--!"

After a long while, Emperor Jian finally calmed down his shock and helplessness, and sighed, "You, ah, how can I explain to your mother after I die!"

Xie Chengze thought to himself, you don't have to worry about this, you might have already died before I found the right person.

But he said obediently, "Mother has always loved me and will definitely understand me, just like father will definitely support me. After all, my happiness is the most important."

Emperor Jian: ...

Glancing at Emperor Jian who was still unwilling to give in, Xie Chengze sighed again, "It seems that all the research on gunpowder was in vain. No wonder your father has not replied to your letter even though I wrote that I want all the delicacies and beauties in the world. It turns out that your father intends to take both..."

"You don't give me a day off, and you don't give me a beautiful man. Life is really meaningless. I'd rather be sad all day and night, and wear myself out early to accompany my mother in the underworld..."

Emperor Jian: ...

Emperor Jian was both angry and amused, thinking that he had said all the good and bad things, and that after his trip to Yizhou, his little temper had become even more cunning and difficult to catch.

However, which minister's son would Xiao Chengze fall in love with? I have never heard of him having any crush on anyone before...

Emperor Jian suddenly paused.

and many more? !

Could it be... Shen Yuan?

Emperor Jian was surprised but not surprised. After all, Shen Yuan was indeed a handsome man, talented in both civil and military affairs, and loyal. He had been with him in Yizhou for several months and supported each other. It was normal for them to fall in love with each other over time.

only……

Emperor Jian gently stroked the jade ring on his finger and thought to himself that Shen Yuan was a man of great use and an excellent chess piece to clean up the court. Originally, he planned to leave this man to the prince, and when the prince ascended the throne in the future, he would be a great help in maintaining the government.

Giving it to Chengze...he couldn't bear it.

Glancing at Xie Chengze's anxious expression that was like "Father, please ask me which minister's son I am", Emperor Jian decided decisively not to ask, lest his next question would be to ask for a marriage.

"Chengze, you must be very tired after just waking up. You should take more rest. Your father will not disturb you anymore." Emperor Jian said with a distressed look on his face. After that, he quickly left Chenghuan Palace, pulling Eunuch Zhao as if his butt was on fire.

The expectation on Xie Chengze's face was also fading rapidly. After a moment, he curled his lips in disdain, "Little guy, I can't control you?"

Emperor Jian must have thought that he liked Shen Yuan, and was reluctant to waste such a good chess piece on a son who was not related by blood, so he quickly blocked his mouth and dared not ask any more questions.

Alas~ Xie Chengze spread his hands helplessly.

It's easy to grasp the emperor.

But Xie Chengze soon stopped laughing.

Because of Emperor Jian’s fatherly love as vast as the ocean and tide, it came late but fiercely.

“Second Prince, even though the Emperor doesn’t say it, he loves you the most in his heart and wants to give you the best things in the world!” Eunuch Zhao clapped his hands, and the eunuchs behind him came forward and unfolded the scrolls in their hands.

On each scroll, a young man was vividly depicted with colorful ink. Each of them had a graceful temperament and excellent looks. There were even elegant seal characters on the side, which indicated his family background, height, and hobbies. It was very thoughtful and considerate.

"These are all the young men in the capital with clean backgrounds and good looks. If the Second Prince doesn't like any of them, His Majesty will send people to other prefectures to look for them."

Eunuch Zhao's psychological quality is excellent. He has now completely accepted the Second Prince's preferences and introduced him enthusiastically, "This is Han Yuyun, the grandson of the Minister of Rites. Although he is a concubine of the Second House, he is quite famous in the capital for his talent. He is seven feet two inches tall, thin, good at chess, clean in private, and his penis is more than four inches long..."

Xie Chengze:?

Xie Chengze was listening with great interest, but suddenly heard about the blind spot of knowledge, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Eunuch Zhao, what is root length?"

Eunuch Zhao paused, and for some reason became shy, "Oh, Your Highness, that's it... the one that I don't have!"

Xie Chengze:?

Xie Chengze: ???

No? You even checked this? Are you royal family members some kind of pervert?

Eunuch Zhao thought to himself that when His Majesty returned that day, he immediately sent someone to secretly investigate whether the Second Prince had any special relationship with Lord Shen when they were in Yizhou. Later, he learned from the accompanying military doctor that the Second Prince was actually...

Oh my, it cannot be described or thought about.

Eunuch Zhao clapped his hands and continued, "Second Prince, if you like any young man, you can directly summon him to the palace, get to know him well, and take your time to choose. There is no rush even if you have to wait until you are thirty years old to choose one."

Xie Chengze: ...

Thank you so much, you considerate and perverted Huang, ah, royal family!
