Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Qi Siyu's initial sympathy for Chixing turned into physical abuse towards him.

This man is utterly shameless. He deceived him into believing he was a eunuch, and now he's determined to keep him pinned down, not even giving him a chance to rest for a moment.

He didn't know where she learned those moves, but they tossed and turned him over and over, making him feel both ashamed and angry, yet he couldn't resist them. In the end, he didn't even know how he fell asleep.

When Qi Siyu woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day, which made him so angry that he threw a tantrum.

Hearing the sounds of smashing and breaking inside, along with the Grand Eunuch's deep voice admitting his mistake, Xiao Yezi felt a chill run down her spine.

"Eunuch Ye, shall we serve the meal?" a young eunuch asked nervously.

Xiao Yezi made a shushing gesture and waited on the side: "Wait a little longer, the eunuch will definitely come out soon."

As expected, Akahoshi quickly opened the door with a normal expression.

After taking the food box, he closed the door again.

Chixing placed the food on the table and then picked up the little prince, blanket and all.

"It's all my fault, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

He had barely finished speaking when he was slapped across the face.

Despite appearing to be very strong, there wasn't a single red mark on her fair face.

Qi Siyu added, "The Grand Eunuch's skin is probably thicker than a city wall."

Chi Xing smiled: "A Yu is right."

Walking around the broken ceramic ornaments on the ground, Chixing carried Qi Siyu to the table and fed him bite by bite, just like when Qi Siyu was sick before.

Qi Siyu, however, felt uncomfortable and glared at her as she snatched the bowl away, saying, "I'll eat it myself."

He is the husband, how can he appear weak?

Regardless of what happens inside the bedroom, outside he is Akahoshi's husband.

While eating, Qi Siyu silently made a decision in her heart.

After resting for a few days, Qi Siyu went to the Imperial Study.

When he came out again, he was holding an imperial edict in his hand, but he didn't tell anyone, waiting for the right time to take it out.

Inside the imperial study, the emperor's solemn expression had not yet faded.

He hoped the two could get along well, but he never expected that his Yu'er would say she would only marry Chi Xing!

That's Chi Xing! Putting aside the fact that he's the head of the Eastern Depot, he's also a eunuch!

The emperor simply couldn't understand why Yu'er and Chixing had come to this point.

I disagreed at first, until Qi Siyu said:

“Father, I have been regarded as an omen of bad luck since I was a child. In this world, I am afraid that only you and Mother are willing to treat me with sincerity.”

Now that Chixing is willing to stay by my side, he not only doesn't believe what outsiders say, but also doesn't mind that I can only live to be twenty.

With him by my side, my illness has improved. I love him, and I will marry no one else in this life.

The emperor originally intended not to agree to this matter under any circumstances, but when he heard his son say that he would not live past twenty, he began to feel sorry for him.

His Yu'er was perfectly fine, how could she not live past twenty? She's already eighteen now, if she really was twenty...

What's the point of him refusing? Is it to let his son regret it for the rest of his life just for the sake of worldly opinions and the opinions of his subjects?

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Qi sighed and wrote an imperial edict bestowing marriage upon the two, which stated that Chi Xing was to be named the Crown Prince's principal wife.

Qi Siyu did not immediately make the imperial edict public. Instead, he put it away and waited until he was over twenty years old and still alive before marrying Chixing with a grand procession of sixteen sedan chairs and a hundred miles of red bridal procession.

The affair between the two was no secret in the Eastern Palace, but the eunuchs and maids dared not gossip, for fear of being beheaded by the Crown Prince and implicating their families.

Days passed by, and soon it was New Year's Eve.

Chixing lives in the East Palace, so he is well-informed about the outside world.

According to reports from the secret guards, Qi Silin has been having an affair with the daughters of several high-ranking officials, among whom Murong Wei is the most likely to become his principal wife.

Something is likely to happen at tonight's palace banquet. Chi Xing has ordered the Eastern Depot to secretly protect the Emperor and Empress, as these two are people Qi Siyu cares about.

As for Qi Siyu, he will go with him.

Officials of the fifth rank and above would bring their families to the palace to attend the banquet, and their seats would be arranged according to their official rank.

At the banquet organized by the Empress, Chi Xing's seat was right next to Qi Siyu's. It was obvious that Qi Siyu had asked the Empress for permission.

Chixing felt a little awkward when she realized that the Emperor and Empress already knew about their affair.

As soon as the emperor and empress sat down on the dragon throne, their eyes involuntarily turned to Chi Xing and Qi Siyu.

The emperor looked conflicted and frustrated, while the empress looked at her daughter-in-law with a puzzled expression. Chixing could only smile and nod to the two of them.

These days they have been in the East Palace. Qi Siyu forbids him from attending court, so Chi Xing has not stepped out of the East Palace gates.

To Qi Siyu's left was Chi Xing, and to his right was the First Prince, followed by Qi Silin, the Third Prince, and so on.

Opposite them were Prince Jin and Prince Rui, followed by some ministers and their families.

The banquet began, and dancers started performing.

Chi Xing didn't even glance at it, busy serving Qi Siyu food.

As one round of dancing ended, people began to speak.

It was Prince Jin. The young man, around thirty years old, had a face devoid of the marks of wine and women. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is not young anymore. Shouldn't we arrange a marriage for him?"

The emperor smiled and said, "There's no rush."

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Jin, as if intoxicated, said anxiously, "How can I not be anxious? I think the daughters of the various ministers are all quite good matches for His Highness the Crown Prince..."

He looked around and saw no trace of royal manners.

Many daughters of ministers secretly hid behind their mothers, fearing that the Prince of Jin would mention them.

This is His Highness the Crown Prince, an ominous person; no one wants to marry him.

Chi Xing watched coldly, and saw that Murong Wei also lowered her head.

Prince Jin looked at Qi Siyu and said in the manner of an elder, "Your Highness, please don't blame your uncle for being nosy. You'll be nineteen after the New Year. You need to leave behind a son or daughter as soon as possible, otherwise..."

"Snapped!"

"what!"

A wine cup was smashed on the ground, and the flying shards of porcelain flew straight toward the Prince of Jin's mouth like projectiles.

Before the Prince of Jin could dodge, a gash appeared on his lip, and blood flowed freely.

He covered his bleeding mouth, instantly sobering up considerably, and his sharp eyes looked at where the glass had been thrown.

Akahoshi said nonchalantly, "Sorry, my hand slipped. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

“You…” Prince Jin pointed angrily at Chi Xing, about to utter a curse, when the Emperor waved his hand.

"These past few days, you've worked hard teaching the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace, so it's understandable that your hands are a little shaky."

That's right.

Everyone else stared wide-eyed, feeling that His Majesty was speaking up for Chixing in a perfectly legitimate way.

Only Qi Siyu and Chixing sensed something was wrong. Then they saw the Empress covering her mouth and chuckling, and Chixing's ears turned slightly red.

No, saying that in front of so many people is too much...
