Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2022

Now she’s crying and making a fuss about not wanting it, but the words “she always bullies me” sound so interesting.

She didn't intend to get involved in this matter. Marriage, it depends on fate.

She thought that if Xiao Jiu really couldn't find anyone to marry, she would create a puppet to take the throne.

They are all puppets anyway, so what does it matter if there is one more or one less?

In the evening, a meal was served at the Duke's Mansion, and it was very lively.

Wei Yuzhi and others did not leave, they all stayed.

During the meal, Xiao Jiu was weighed down with worry.

"Pighead Nine!" Wei Pingting called him in a low voice.

Xiao Jiu turned a deaf ear to him, frowned, and was thinking about something distressing.

Ever since he was old enough to understand, he knew that "husband and wife are birds of the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately."

He had heard these words from the palace maids, but they had taken root in his heart. Even if they did not go their separate ways, it would not be much better to be like the way his father had been ignoring his mother all year round.

When Xiao Jiu was a child, he once asked his mother, "Why doesn't father come to your place?"

His mother initially answered him, "Because your father has to go somewhere else."

When he asked again when he was a little older, his mother's answer changed, "Wouldn't it be better if he didn't come? We would be more comfortable."

But if my father doesn't come, my mother will be bullied by other concubines.

He was very angry with his father for a while.

It was not until later that his mother told him in person that she had been thinking about someone else before entering the palace. She had to enter the palace for the sake of her family. When his father found out, he did not blame him, but never set foot in his mother's palace again.

Xiao Jiu felt that the relationship between men and women was really troublesome. Either this one was unfeeling or that one was disloyal, which was just asking for trouble. He had already made up his mind not to marry for life, but now he had to marry immediately to occupy the position of queen, which was really embarrassing.

He rubbed his forehead in distress. Where could he find someone who also didn't want to get married and was willing to play this role with him?

"Pig-headed Nine!" Wei Pingting shouted again.

Xiao Jiu still didn't respond to her. He was busy thinking about finding a candidate for the next position.

He recalled the women from his mother's family who had flirted with him, and he felt annoyed and his face turned dark and unhappy.

Wei Pingting looked at him, angrily. The little girl raised her head proudly, "Humph, if you ignore me, I will ignore you in the future! You bastard, you are so capable!"

Shi Anxia watched quietly without saying anything.

Just then, when the maid was serving the dishes, she gave Wei Pingting some peanuts.

Wei Yuzhi was about to remind his sister not to touch peanuts, but he saw Xiao Jiu stood up and shouted faster than him, "Xiao Pingting can't eat peanuts!"

Shi Anxia's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, and he asked slowly, "Oh? How do you know so clearly?"

Xiao Jiu realized that he had said something wrong. Thinking back to the discussion about him marrying Wei Pingting, his heart suddenly turned red from his ears to his neck. His heart suddenly lost its rhythm and started thumping painfully.

"I...I don't know!" The young man was so angry that his voice suddenly rose. "Who would remember these things about her?"

Wei Pingting was already angry with Xiao Jiu, and now when she heard this, she was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. She raised her hand and picked up a peanut and stuffed it into her mouth, "Humph! Who cares if you, Pighead Nine, remember it!"
