The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Consort Jing looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, would you be so kind as to let me raise Yue'er?"

"Of course, An'er has been raised so well by you, so Yue'er's upbringing by your side will naturally be just as good."

With the Emperor's order already given, Bai Shiqiu understood that Min Yanyue's forced relocation to Jing'an Palace was a foregone conclusion. No matter what was said, it would only make him a laughingstock, and there was no possibility of any change.

"Yue'er, come here."

Min Yanyue turned her head and looked at Bai Shiqiu with reluctance, but in the end she could only obediently walk to Consort Jing's side.

The Emperor looked at the small snake in Yi Yi's hand and said, "This red-striped silver snake is far too dangerous. It almost hurt Yue'er. Someone, kill it for me."

She frowned and burst into tears.

However, this time the emperor did not soften his heart. "Yiyi, if you like, your imperial grandfather will help you find a non-venomous snake later."

"No, no."

Yi-Yi is stubborn and will disagree with anything you say.

Seeing this, Guiguzi stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will take this snake away later and it will not harm anyone."

The emperor still respected Guiguzi, and besides, Yi Yi wasn't so easy to appease at the moment, so he could only compromise for the time being, "Then thank you very much, sir."

He turned to Min Yanyue and instructed, "Yue'er, you've been frightened. Go back to Jing'an Palace to rest first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing her son being taken away, Bai Shiqiu was desperate. She knelt before Xia Tongsheng and pleaded softly, "Your Highness, please..."

Bai Shiqiu's tearful appearance was truly pitiful, but Xia Tongsheng showed no sympathy for her at all. "The current situation is all your own doing, so who can you blame?"

"It's my own fault, but Yue'er is still young and can't be without me by her side."

The place was secluded, and only Xia Tongsheng, Feng Yu, and Han Xujinyan were there, so they didn't hide their conversation.

Feng Yuhan couldn't help but interject, "When Yue'er was little, you weren't around, were you? She still grew up just fine, didn't she?"

Xu Jinyan, who was standing to the side, tugged at his sleeve slightly and warned him in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense. Or you'll cause trouble."

“Then what I said is true. Yue’er was indeed raised by me and the prince together.”

Xu Jinyan: "......"

Can you please stop showing off your "affectionate" relationship...?

Previously, Xia Tongsheng always felt that children without mothers were more pitiful, which is why he asked Bai Shiqiu to come back and take care of Min Yanyue. But how did Bai Shiqiu take care of Min Yanyue after she came back?

It's truly disheartening that such a good child has been raised to this state.

"Your Highness, are you also unwilling to help me?"

"You don't want to? Do you want me to help you snatch the child?"

After saying that, Xia Tongsheng turned away from Bai Shiqiu and went to Yi Yi's side.

Min Youan followed her, and seeing her serious expression, asked, "Did she make things difficult for you?"

"No, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." She grabbed Min Youan's arm. "There are so many people outside, cheer up, don't let anyone notice."

"kindness."

Actually, Xia Tongsheng was unhappy not because of Bai Shiqiu, but because she had just seen the emperor and Guiguzi talking.

---

Although there was a little hiccup at Yi Yi's birthday party, it was generally a close call. At the end, Xia Tongsheng was worried about how her master would leave the palace and whether the emperor would stop Master Guigu.

As evening fell, Xia Tongsheng looked at Guiguzi and then at Yi Yi, when suddenly an idea struck her.

"Your Highness, I finally know how to get Master out of the palace."

"So your unhappiness all day wasn't because of Bai Shiqiu, but because you were worried that Master Guigu wouldn't be able to leave the palace?"

"Otherwise what? Do you think Bai Shiqiu can affect my mood?"

Min Youan shook his head indulgently, "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. If Father doesn't allow your master to leave the palace, my people in the palace will personally intervene to make him come out."

"Thank you!"

Min Youan gripped Xia Tongsheng's hand tightly. "Do we need to be so polite between us?"

"Let's go back."

Xia Tongsheng looked at Yi Yi sleeping in Ying Ling's arms and placed her in Mr. Gui Gu's arms. "Master, you will take Yi Yi back today."

"kindness?"

Xia Tongsheng shook her head, "No need to ask too many questions. Just hold Yi Yi tightly and don't let go. Leave the rest to me."

Although Guiguzi was puzzled and didn't understand what Xia Tongsheng wanted to do, he still nodded and agreed to Xia Tongsheng's request, "Okay."

Xia Tongsheng led the group from the Prince's Mansion to the Emperor's side. "Father, it's getting late, so we'll head back now."

"Is Yi Yi asleep?" The emperor looked at the little girl in Guiguzi's arms and wanted to reach out and touch the child.

But Xia Tongsheng quickly reached out to stop her, "Father, Yi Yi has been quite fussy lately. She'll be unhappy if someone wakes her up while she's asleep."

"Okay, you guys go back."

Xia Tongsheng had prepared a long speech in her mind, hoping to persuade the emperor to give up the idea of ​​keeping her master in the palace. She never expected that the emperor would let her leave the palace so easily.

However, now that the emperor had agreed to let her master leave, Xia Tongsheng just wanted to leave as soon as possible, worried that the emperor might change his mind later. "Thank you, Father, we'll be going now!"

After leaving the palace, Xia Tongsheng took Yi Yi from Guiguzi's arms. "Master, Yi Yi is too heavy. Let me carry her."

"Didn't you say Yi Yi would cry? Anyway, we'll be at the Prince's Mansion soon, so I'll carry her."

Xia Tongsheng pouted, "Isn't that just for deceiving the emperor?"

It was clear that Xia Tongsheng was in a good mood because Guiguzi had been able to leave the palace safely.

"You," Guiguzi lightly slapped her, "what if the emperor insists on holding Yiyi?"

"I've already prepared lilies on my person. If the emperor insists on holding Yi Yi, I'll let her smell the lilies. When Yi Yi cries so pitifully, I don't believe the emperor won't feel sorry for her!"

Mu Zexi smiled and said, "You've thought of everything!"

"Of course, I caused this trouble, so I should think about how to resolve it," Xia Tongsheng said with a sigh. "It's strange, though, that the Emperor really dotes on Yi Yi."

Looking at Yi Yi's appearance, Guiguzi understood why the emperor liked her so much; the child was becoming more and more like Shi Hua.

"Maybe it really is fate."

Xia Tongsheng felt that something was off. "But Master, don't you think it's a bit strange?"

"What's weird?"

"Don't you think it's a bit strange that the emperor let you leave the palace so easily?"

Guiguzi looked at Yi Yi and said, "Because I had a private conversation with the emperor earlier, I think I've figured it out!"

"I thought it was my doing, but it turns out it was Master who was amazing."

Mu Zexi chuckled and smacked Xia Tongsheng on the head, "Stop flattering me!"

"Senior brother, can you please stop hitting me? I'm a mother now, can't you give me some face?"

Mu Zexi: "No!"
