Chapter 1013: Extra 1

In the tenth year after Xiao Tianyao became Emperor, Lin Chujiu gave birth to a daughter, named Xiao Rongchen.

The Emperor was overjoyed. On the day of Princess Rongchen’s full moon, he issued an amnesty to the whole country and took the opportunity to promote land reform. The land recovered would be divided equally among hundreds of names, and land transactions and sales were prohibited.

When the people heard the news, they immediately knelt toward the capital and shouted: “Long live the Emperor, long live the Empress, long live the Princess.”

Ordinary people don’t know that the land was distributed to them because the Emperor was happy with the princess. But those who were officials in the court had no idea that the birthday of the princess was just the Emperor’s planned reason to promote land reform.

“Our Emperor is someone who wants to do great things.” Unifying the world, regaining lost land, and now promoting land reform. No matter the major move he does win the hearts of the people.

“I heard that the Empress proposed the land reform. I heard that some previous pro-business policies were also proposed by the Empress. Is this true?” The newly promoted minister didn’t know much about political affairs, so he took the opportunity to make some inquiries.

“Our Empress is a hero among women, and most of the affairs in the court are decided by her.” A certain minister said in a pretentious manner.

“So the land reform and pro-business issues were proposed by the Empress? How can the Empress know so much as a woman?” The newly promoted minister did not understand and could not understand. His wife was also famous for being a wealthy and talented woman, but his wife only knew poetry, calligraphy, painting, housekeeping, and needlework.

The minister still did not answer directly, but said righteously: “In our dynasty, the Emperor makes the final decision on all major affairs in the world.”

But after he finished speaking, he changed the topic and said mysteriously: “However, I heard that the Empress’s decision is all about the royal household affairs, including the Emperor’s affairs.”

The Emperor decides on all major affairs in the world, while the Empress decides on the emperor’s affairs. In other words……

“I understand.” The newly promoted minister and the minister who spoke exchanged a tacit smile with each other.

In the morning of the same day, the new emperor of the Central Empire sent envoys to congratulate Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu on their daughter’s full moon, and at the same time proposed marriage to Princess Rongchen for the Crown Prince of their Central Empire.

The Eldest Prince has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself Emperor, and has made his eldest son, who was only five years old, the Crown Prince. Now the imperial envoy was seeking to marry Princess Rongchen on behalf of this young prince.

This marriage was beneficial to both countries and also calmed the conflicts between the two countries over the years. After hearing this, all the civil and military officials found it good.

In this world, only the Crown Prince of the Central Empire can be worthy of their princess Rongchen, but……

Their Emperor’s face turned dark when he heard this: “My princess is still young, there’s no need to talk about marriage.”

God knows that Xiao Tianyao’s face not only turned dark at this moment but also his heart. It was so dark that he wanted to kill someone.

He and Chujiu finally had a daughter. They haven’t had much time to rejoice, but the Central Empire sent someone to ask for his daughter’s hand in marriage. Was this a reminder to him that his daughter ultimately belonged to someone else’s family?

No, no, his daughter will never marry far away.

“Your Majesty, what our emperor means is that the two countries can first make a marriage contract for the Crown Prince and the princess so that they can cultivate their relationship from an early age.” The Emperor and Empress of the Shengyuan Dynasty were very affectionate, so the palace was also in harmony, which was truly enviable to others.

The Eldest Prince, who has become the Emperor, was especially aware of the relationship between Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu. He has no hope of finding a beloved person to marry in this life. He can only place his hope on his son.

He believed that the daughter trained by Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu would be good, and the son he raised would be good too.

“Cultivate their feelings at a young age? You want me to send my daughter to the Central Empire for training?” Xiao Tianyao’s face became even more gloomy.

Those villains in the Central Empire were damned for setting their sights on his daughter just after she was born.

The envoy shook his head repeatedly: “No, no, no. The princess is young, so our Crown Prince comes to the Shengyuan Dynasty to accompany her.” Their Emperor’s plan was, that once Princess Rongchen grew older, they would abduct the Central Empire. There was no rush now.

“Hmph…” Xiao Tianyao snorted, coldly and decisively refused: “I don’t agree to this engagement.”

The envoy seemed to have expected it and was not surprised at all. He only said: “Your Majesty, won’t you ask the Empress’s opinion? After all, this is a family matter.”

Although the envoy felt that the marriage between the princess and the Crown Prince was a national matter, the Emperor did not want to do it. He could only raise the matter as a family matter, and there might be room for change.

“I can decide on this matter.” His daughter will never marry the Crown Prince of the Central Empire or become the Empress of the Central Empire.

How many Empresses have died throughout the Central Empire’s history?

Being the Empress of the Central Empire won’t be easy.

“Your Majesty, our Emperor said that unless the empress personally rejects it, the Central Empire will recognize this marriage contract.” The envoy said bravely, and as soon as he finished speaking, all the civil and military ministers in the court hid their faces in shame.

How embarrassing, how embarrassing.

Even the Emperor of the Central Empire knew that their Emperor was an all-out henpecker. If the Empress doesn’t say anything, the Emperor’s words have no effect at all.

All the ministers in the court were ashamed and panicked, but their Emperor did not feel anything was wrong at all. Instead, he said: “The Empress will not agree to this. I will ask the Empress to refuse the marriage contract from the empire.”

Although their Emperor was firm in what he said, it was obvious that he had admitted it, and it was up to the Empress to make the decision.

After retreating from the court, none of the civil and military ministers had the guts to linger or greet the imperial envoys. They all ran as fast as they could.

The Emperor was afraid of his wife. They originally thought that only they knew about it, but now even the Central Empire knows about it. This matter was really…how can they put it?

After retreating from the court, Xiao Tianyao came to the harem with a dark face and came to Lin Chujiu’s bedroom. Seeing Lin Chujiu alone, Xiao Tianyao immediately put away his anger and asked nervously: “Where is Rongchen?”

After Princess Rongchen was born, the first thing Xiao Tianyao did after going to court every day was to come to Lin Chujiu’s bedroom to see his beloved little princess.

In this regard, Lin Chujiu could only say that her daughter was indeed her father’s little padded jacket.

“The boy from the Shi Family came here to play with her.” Lin Chujiu was slightly plump after giving birth, with a graceful air all over her body, and her every move was seductive, which made his mouth go dry.

Xiao Tianyao hadn’t touched Lin Chujiu for a whole month, and he longed to knock Lin Chujiu down and eat her clean. When he saw Lin Chujiu standing beautifully in front of him, his heart skipped a beat, and he stepped forward and hugged Lin Chujiu: “It’s just right. Rongchen is not here, please stay with me more…”

“It’s broad daylight, stop making trouble.” Lin Chujiu’s face turned red as she raised her hand to ward off Xiao Tianyao. To divert Xiao Tianyao’s attention, she said specifically: “By the way, Madam Shi told me today that she wants Rongchen to marry her son, and Zifu’s Master also agrees to it. I think it’s pretty good, what do you think?”

Madam Shi was Shi Yihan’s wife, and Zifu’s Master was naturally Shi Qianqian.

“What?” When Xiao Tianyao heard this, his romantic thoughts disappeared. Now only one thing was in his mind, and that was: his daughter was targeted by two big bad wolves right after she was born!

He doesn’t agree. He would never agree!
