Chapter 136.2 - I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

The next day, she woke up groggy only when the sun was already high in the sky.

“Miss, you really slept well last night. The sun is already shining on your butt and you still haven’t gotten up!” ‘Han Chuchu’ said.

The personal maid yawned, “Maybe it’s because I drank too much wine last night, so I slept a bit longer!”

“That makes sense! Miss, breakfast is ready, let’s eat together!”

“Alright, I’ll eat after I wash up!”

A moment later, the two women started their breakfast.

At that time, ‘Han Chuchu’ asked, “By the way, Miss, are we still leaving?”

While eating a steamed bun, the personal maid shook her head and said, “There’s no rush. Isn’t the Ninth Prince still here? We’ll find opportunities to beat him up more! We should do it every other day until he calls off the engagement!”

‘Han Chuchu’ felt a pang of sympathy, “But he’s already bedridden!”

“No, we must do it!”

The personal maid said through gritted teeth, “If we don’t force him to call off the engagement, what will become of my marriage? Do you really want to see me marry someone I don’t love and lead a life worse than death?”

Han Chuchu nodded vigorously, “Miss, rest assured, for the sake of your happiness, I will certainly show no mercy!”

“Good! I’ll leave this matter to you, I’m off to have fun!”

“Miss, who are you going to meet?”

“I’m going to see the little foolish emperor, hehe!”

The personal maid eagerly grabbed a few steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk, placed them into a food container, and ran excitedly into the imperial palace, where she met Lin Beifan in the imperial study.

Lin Beifan was very happy: “Qiangjin, you’ve come!”

“Your Majesty, you were drunk last night, so this humble girl has specially brought some steamed buns and soy milk to clear your stomach!”

The personal maid said with a cheerful and beautiful smile as she approached.

“Qiangjin, you’ve put your heart into this!” Lin Beifan opened the food box and started eating heartily.

The personal maid asked, “How does it taste?”

“It’s absolutely delicious! Qiangjin, did you make this?” Lin Beifan asked while eating.

The personal maid felt a bit guilty: “Yes… I made it!”

“Your culinary skills have improved greatly; I am very pleased!” Lin Beifan said with a smile.

“Since you like it, please have some more!” The personal maid became happy.

One arm rested on the table, with her small head pillowed on it, she watched Lin Beifan eat the breakfast she had brought.

Feeling an indescribable sense of small happiness welling up inside her, she couldn’t help but smile.

“Don’t just watch, eat some yourself!” Lin Beifan said.

“I’ve already eaten, Your Majesty. Please enjoy your meal!”

“Okay! It’s really delicious!”

At that moment, a stunningly beautiful woman, surrounded by several palace maids, slowly walked in: “Your servant pays respects to Your Majesty, may the Emperor live for ten thousand years!”

The personal maid, felt a pang of jealousy upon seeing this gorgeous woman: “Who is she?”

Lin Beifan smiled and said, “Qiangjun, let me introduce her to you. This lady’s name is Wang Xiangjun, she is my Consort!”

“So it’s your consort!” The personal maid murmured softly, her voice tinged with a hint of dismay.

Although she had already guessed it, she couldn’t help but feel upset.

She consoled herself internally, reasoning that he is the Emperor, after all, and it’s normal for an Emperor to have consorts.

Which Emperor doesn’t have a harem with numerous palaces and chambers?

“Consort, this is…”

“Your Majesty, there’s no need for introductions, this must be Miss Zhao Qianjin, right?”

The personal maid was dumbfounded: “You know me?”

The consort said with a smile, “Of course I know. His Majesty often mentions you in front of me, saying that he plans to take you as a concubine!”

The personal maid’s heart swelled with joy, “Did he really say that?”

“How could I lie to you?” The consort said with a smile as she approached, speaking affectionately, “Sister, do you have time now? Let me take you out for a walk to get familiar with the imperial palace!”

The personal maid thought for a moment and nodded, “Okay!”

Lin Beifan nodded, “Alright! You go ahead, I will join you later after I finish up with the work at hand!”

“Then, Your Majesty, your consort shall take her leave now!”

The consort left with the personal maid…

Then, the Consort, like a tour guide, led the personal maid around, showing her the sights and introducing the scenery within the imperial palace.

After making a round, the Consort also said, “Sister, this is more or less the situation in the palace! If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to come and find me and I will certainly clear up any confusion for you!”

The other’s enthusiastic demeanor completely overwhelmed the personal maid.

“Sister, I’m here to compete with you for a man. Don’t you feel jealous?”

The Consort sighed deeply, “To tell the truth, I do feel somewhat jealous inside! But after all, he is His Majesty, which Emperor has only one woman? Even if he is willing, the court officials would never agree!”

“That’s true!” The personal maid nodded in agreement.

“So, I have been mentally prepared for a long time! Moreover, being able to stay by His Majesty’s side continuously, I am already completely content and do not wish for anything more!”

“Sister, I heard that you were once just an ordinary woman?” the personal maid asked.

The Consort nodded: “Indeed, I used to be just an ordinary woman. People said I’m someone that brings disaster, the Heaven’s Doom Star, destined for a life full of hardships! Only after meeting His Majesty did my fortunes change, and I felt the warmth of a home! That’s why I especially cherish the days spent with His Majesty!”

“Does His Majesty treat you well?” the personal maid asked curiously.

A blissful smile spread across the Consort’s face: “Although he has a bad reputation outside, he treats me extremely well, often showing concern for my well-being, and even when he’s very busy, he still finds some time to spend with me! He is the perfect man bestowed upon me by the heavens!”

“…Is he really that good?” After listening, the personal maid couldn’t help but feel hopeful.

If I were to marry him, would I also be very happy?

Tsk tsk tsk, there’s not even a stroke on the paper yet!

Don’t let your imagination run wild!

The consort seemed to see through her little thoughts and laughed.

“Qiangjin, rest assured, His Majesty treats every woman he loves very well! For example, his childhood sweetheart, Sister Chai Yuxin, she wanted to be a general and go to war. Defying all risks, his Majesty appointed her as a general and let her lead troops into battle! So, you definitely won’t be wronged if you marry into the royal family!”

The personal maid blushed deeply: “Who said I’m going to marry him? I haven’t even thought it through yet!”

Watching her, the consort couldn’t help but laugh to herself.

Your heart is already set on His Majesty, yet you won’t admit it?

She’s clearly being a stubborn duck even in the face of death!

Just then, Lin Beifan walked over, smiling and said, “What are you discussing that’s making you laugh so merrily?”

The personal maid shook her head vigorously, “Nothing much, just some girls’ talk!”

“Is that so?” Lin Beifan looked towards the Consort.

The Consort said with amusement, “Yes, Your Majesty, it’s just some private conversations among ladies. There’s no need for you to inquire!”

“Alright!”

Lin Beifan chuckled, “If you have no other matters, shall we take a walk together and relax?”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The three continued to leisurely stroll through the imperial palace.

Along the way, Lin Beifan was full of witty remarks, keeping the two ladies exceptionally amused.

During this time, many ministers came to report on state affairs, but Lin Beifan handled them all with ease.

Watching Lin Beifan deal with the officials with such command, the personal maidservant couldn’t help but feel a surge of admiration.

“Marrying him seems like it wouldn’t be too bad!”

……

Meanwhile, the Ninth Prince was living a life worse than death.

Every time his body recovered a bit, he would be beaten up by his fiancée, Han Chuchu, and then he would continue to lie in bed.

He couldn’t understand it at all; he was clearly a prince, so why was his life so miserable?

He had had enough of such days and didn’t want to live like this anymore!

“No way! I must call off this marriage! If the Emperor does not agree, I will become a monk, never marry or take concubines, live alone with only a lamp for company, and die alone!”

At that moment, ‘Han Chuchu’ walked in: “What did you just say?”

The Ninth Prince said angrily: “I said I want to call off the engagement. Woman, I will not marry you! Are you happy now?”

“Good!” ‘Han Chuchu’ lifted the Ninth Prince with one hand and executed a shoulder throw.

After letting out a scream, the Ninth Prince shouted in grief and indignation, “I’m already calling off the engagement, why are you still hitting me?”

“Sorry, it was just a reflex!”

The Ninth Prince coughed up blood.

……

After resting for two days, he left Great Xia.

Not long after, ‘Han Chuchu’ and her personal maid received a letter.

“The Ninth Prince has already gone back to call off the engagement. After finding out what we did, Father is extremely angry and has ordered us to return and face punishment!” The personal maid put down the letter and said with a bitter smile.

“Miss, this is a good thing!” Han Chuchu exclaimed excitedly.

“It is indeed a good thing! It’s just…” The personal maid thought of Lin Beifan and suddenly felt reluctant to part with him.
