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

Chapter 2239

"Look at our little fourth princess," Emperor Wenxuan interrupted her, leaned over and gently picked up the fourth princess who was sleeping in the cradle, handed her in front of her, and put her in her hands.

The baby in the cradle has a pink face and breathes evenly.

Emperor Wen Xuan carefully rubbed his daughter's cheek with his fingertips, a gentle smile spreading across his eyes. "Her eyebrows and eyes are like yours, her nose is like yours, her little mouth is like yours... Hey, isn't she just a little, pretty girl?"

He sat down beside the couch, his eyes blazing as he gazed at his weeping queen. "Pingting, I don't want to hear your depressing words. Trust me, everything can be resolved. At worst, we can return the throne to our father, and we can flee far away to Liang State to seek refuge with the charcoal seller. What do you say?"

Of course, he knew the two options the queen mentioned, which were to select a concubine from the imperial concubines, or to let her leave the palace and then select a queen from the imperial concubines.

He had promised that if he betrayed her, or if she grew tired of him, he would send her off with the rank of prince, grant her the three most prosperous prefectures in Jiangnan as his Tangmu County, allow her to travel freely like a lark, and ensure she lived a life without worries. But now he hadn't betrayed her, and she wasn't tired of him, it was just that reality forced her to retreat.

Neither of these paths is acceptable to Emperor Wenxuan.

He is just a puppet!

It was clearly stated back then that he was a puppet of the emperor and all he needed to do was contribute his horoscope.

What happened next? He couldn't even remember how he ended up taking on this huge task.

Oh, now I remember it. It was because he stayed with the charcoal seller for three years, and my father said he wanted to see the results of his studies and whether he had wasted his time in Liang State.

Who knew that I would see it until now.

The retired emperor is now enjoying his second spring like a god, and doesn't care about his son's life or death at all!

No! Emperor Wenxuan kissed Wei Pingting's cheek in a rage, "You must stay at your parents' home and raise yourself there first. Don't let your imagination run wild, don't abandon me, and don't force me to take a concubine."

He ran away without waiting for Wei Pingting to respond.

Madam Wei looked at the emperor's son-in-law from behind, then walked into the house and took her daughter's hand. "See, I told you he wouldn't let you go. We've been married for so many years, don't you understand him?"

"Mother, you don't understand the current situation," Wei Pingting patted her daughter gently, cradling her in her arms. "I've even considered adopting a relative's child. But... there really aren't any suitable ones. They're all mediocre and simply can't handle the responsibility."

Madam Wei smiled and said, "Ah, my daughter has really grown up. She keeps talking about the great responsibility of the country. She is no longer the little girl who used to act like a spoiled brat and ask for candy in front of me."

"Mother!" Wei Pingting lowered her eyebrows in embarrassment. "I already have several daughters myself. How can I still act like a spoiled child in front of you?"

Mrs. Wei touched her daughter's face lovingly. Her cheek was wet with tear marks, which made her feel distressed. "In your mother's eyes, you will always be a child. You will never grow up..."

On the other side, Emperor Wenxuan broke into the Nanshan Palace without being informed.

Eunuch Qi was a little out of breath after chasing, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...I said, the retired emperor is not in the study. Could I really lie to you?"

Emperor Wenxuan was furious and sneered at Eunuch Qi, "How come you haven't lied to me enough?"

"Ouch!" Eunuch Qi was shocked and knelt down to kowtow. "Your Majesty, please understand! Even if I die, I will never hide a single word from you!"

Emperor Wenxuan bent down and helped him up. "You are already old! Didn't I tell you long ago that you can be exempted from the formalities? You don't need to kneel when you see me! Do you still need those knees?"

Eunuch Qi smiled until his eyebrows curved, then he trembled and got up from the ground. "I knew that the emperor was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. He is a very good master." He leaned closer and asked, "The emperor came to see the emperor today, but what good news do you have?"

"Good news!" Emperor Wenxuan said, "I am here to return the throne!"
