Su Yu held back his laughter as he walked over and took the Eldest Imperial Son from the Empress Dowager's arms. His Royal Highness King Zhao had already consciously jumped to the ground and ran over to his elder brother's feet.
His Majesty the Emperor bent down and picked up his younger brother.
The Empress Dowager looked at Su Yu, and her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the little golden furball sticking out of his lapel. She reached out and grabbed it. "This is the crown prince, right?"
"Mi!" His Highness The Crown Prince twisted his little body. He was very unhappy that someone he didn't know was carrying him away.
"Yes." Su Yu helplessly responded. He looked at the Emperor Emeritus's expression and took the crown prince back without a trace. "It's getting late. This subject will leave first. I'll come tomorrow to pay respects to the Empress Dowager."
After saying that, Su Yu carried the two little furballs and pulled the Emperor away.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor Emeritus were left alone to stare at each other.
Regardless of what intimate things the old couple had to say after not seeing each other for many years, Su Yu sat in the carriage and was annoyed by the two furballs in his arms.
He put the two kittens in his arms, and they began to move around in his clothes. He didn't know what they were doing, so he could only take one out and give it to the Emperor.
His Highness The Crown Prince was very dissatisfied as he squatted on his Imperial Father's lap. He kicked his short legs and wanted to run over to Su Yu.
"Mi …" His Highness the Crown Prince hadn't seen Su Yu for a long time, but he still recognized him. After not seeing him for a few months, he was very familiar. He grabbed Su Yu's clothes and climbed onto his shoulder. He sniffed his sideburns, then tilted his head and wanted to lick Su Yu's nose.
Su Yu smiled and turned his head, kissing the black and yellow furball.
The Crown Prince was very happy and rubbed his head against Su Yu's ear.
"Mi wu!" His Highness The Crown Prince was very unhappy. He stepped on the ground and felt something soft under his feet. He looked down and saw that he was stepping on a fat yellow and white furball.
His Royal Highness King Zhao felt very helpless. He lifted his head and pulled His Highness The Crown Prince off of him. He sat up and looked at the little nephew he had just met. His Highness The Crown Prince raised his head to look at the little fat cat that was not much taller than him and narrowed his eyes.
"Er Mao, I'm your uncle." His Royal Highness King Zhao decided that since he was already the uncle of the two children, he should have some authority. He raised his paw and patted the crown prince's head. This child must be taught well from a young age. He could not be like his Royal Father and Royal Brother.
The Crown Prince raised his paw and scratched the messy fur on his head. He pounced over and bit the little fat cat's ear.
His Royal Highness King Zhao: "…"
Deeply affected, His Royal Highness King Zhao decided to find a corner to sleep. When he reached the North Pole Palace, he went to the side hall.
The North Pole Palace was still brightly lit at this time. The Emperor was not in the court. Prince Li, who was in charge of politics, lived in the side hall of the North Pole Palace.
Wang Gonggong had already returned to the palace. He changed into the chief eunuch's clothes and stood in front of the main hall with a smile. "His Highness Prince Li is still in the study reading memorials. Your Majesty, do you want to take a look?"
The Emperor frowned slightly. Ever since the Lu family settled down, there were not so many things to do in the court. He would usually finish reading memorials after noon. There was no reason for him to still be reading memorials in the middle of the night. Could it be that something had happened in the court recently?
He signaled Su Yu to go back to the main hall first and turned to go to the study.
"You said it was done by Minister Zhang's steward? Then what is he after? "
"That I don't know, but I know that Minister Zhang's youngest son took the seventh concubine the day before yesterday." There was a leopard cat squatting on the desk. Its body was covered in dust. It was obviously a wild cat.
The black and yellow Prince Li was also squatting on the desk. One of his paws pressed down on a memorial. He looked at Minister Zhang's memorial and turned into his human form. He picked up a red brush and wrote a few words on the memorial. Using his usual steady and deep voice, he said: "This Prince knows what is going on."
His Majesty walked over and looked at the memorial. It was Minister Zhang's memorial. He proposed to renovate the Royal Residence. What does this have to do with his son taking in a concubine?
"Of course it has something to do with it," Prince Li said very seriously, "The day before yesterday, Zhang bought a lot of jewelry. It was originally for his son to take in a concubine. At this time, he proposed to renovate the Royal Residence. It must be that his family is short of money and wants to take the opportunity to make a fortune."
His Majesty expressionlessly returned the memorial to his brother, "Take your time to read it." He turned and left the study. Behind him came the sound of cats meowing one after another. Prince Li's voice was still in high spirits.
Minister Zhang was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Because it was late spring, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites would propose to renovate the Royal Residence every year at this time of the year. This was to prevent the Royal Residence from not being renovated during the summer. When this memorial was approved, it would naturally be handed over to the Ministry of Works. How could a Minister of the Ministry of Rites with the surname Zhang embezzle money?
His Majesty also saw Prince Li's reply just now. It was just two simple words: "Approved".
Su Yu put his two sons on the soft cushion. His Highness The Crown Prince strode over with his short little legs and scratched his corner. "Meow …" He cried and licked his mouth.
"Hungry?" Su Yu touched the Crown Prince's little belly. It was indeed flat. Looking at the sky, he shouldn't eat at this time of night. But the child couldn't help being hungry. He turned to look at the Crown Prince, "Da Mao, are you hungry?"
"Meow!" The Crown Prince nodded.
"Eh?" Su Yu held up the black and yellow little furball. "Baby, can you understand Daddy's words?"
"Meow!" The little furball nodded again.
"That's great!" Su Yu excitedly kissed his son. The Crown Prince was already six months old, so he could indeed understand some words. "Be good and play with your younger brother for a while. Daddy will make something delicious for you." He pounced on the two furballs in his arms and kissed them one by one. Then, he happily went to the kitchen to make supper.
His Highness The Crown Prince wagged his tail, patted around the soft cushion, and lay down on his stomach.
The Crown Prince tilted his head and curiously looked at the furball that was even smaller than him. He slowly leaned over and sniffed it, then tried to lick it.
The Crown Prince had been at sea for two to three months, so he was no longer as weak and delicate as when he was just born. He had become lively and active. Su Yu was a little worried that this child would be as restless as Prince Jing. Fortunately, that didn't happen, but …
"Meow!" His Highness The Crown Prince raised his paw and slapped his older brother.
By the time Su Yu finished cooking the fish paste, the two little furballs had already rolled into a ball. They were biting each other's tails and scratching each other's ears. They were fighting fiercely.
"Time to eat!" Su Yu sat down on the soft cushion and took out a small spoon.
The two little kittens immediately stopped fighting. They jumped to Su Yu's side and obediently squatted down. Su Yu scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and fed it to the Crown Prince.
"Meow!" His Highness The Crown Prince cried out pitifully. Before he could say anything, a spoonful of the delicious paste was put into his mouth. He immediately forgot that Su Yu fed his older brother first.
Su Yu smiled. He scooped up another spoonful, blew on it, and reached over. A big furry mouth came over and swallowed the fish in one bite.
"Your Majesty … …" Su Yu was stunned. He looked at the golden cat sitting between the two kittens and quickly swallowing the meat paste in its mouth. It opened its mouth with its sons and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
The three cats quickly finished the bowl of fish paste. His Highness The Crown Prince clung to the bowl and stuck his head in, trying to lick the bottom of the bowl.
"Alright, you can't eat too much tonight." Su Yu took the cloth towel that Wang Gonggong handed over and wiped off the meat paste on the little furball's head.
A pair of slender hands reached out from behind and lifted Su Yu up.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Su Yu was startled and dropped his son.
"Bathing." His Majesty the Emperor carried him and strode towards the bathing pool. After staying on the sea for so many days, his body was covered in the smell of the sea.
Soaking in the warm and wide bathing pool, Su Yu sighed comfortably. After being on the ship for so long, he hadn't had a good bath.
"Stupid slave, come and bathe for zhen." Before Su Yu could enjoy it for a moment, the cat's call reached his ears. He could only accept his fate and pick up the towel and walk to the jade bed in the middle of the pool.
The wind and sun on the sea didn't make the Emperor's skin rough at all. It was still an attractive honey color. The warm body temperature passed to his palm through the towel …
"Stupid slave, you're drooling." A figure as clear as a cold spring suddenly sounded by his ear, startling Su Yu, who was happily touching. Only then did he realize that the cloth in his hand had unknowingly fallen into the water, and his two hands were placed on the Emperor's sturdy chest.
As if he had been scalded, he quickly withdrew his hands. Su Yu blushed and lowered his head to search for the towel in the water, but the Emperor grabbed his wrist. "I really don't know what to do with you." His Majesty the Emperor sighed helplessly. He raised his hand and pulled Su Yu into his arms and licked his neck.
A strange sound came from the bathing pool. His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince curiously raised his head.
"Mee!" The Crown Prince took advantage of his brother's daze and pounced on him and bit his black and yellow ear.
"Meow!" The black and yellow little furball was immediately attracted by his younger brother. He turned around and hugged the golden little furball and bit his chin.
When Su Yu was softly carried out by the Emperor, the two little furballs were already tired from fighting. They hugged each other and fell asleep.
"Sons should be raised like this." His Majesty the Emperor was very satisfied with his sons' behavior of sleeping on the soft mattress. He carried Su Yu and climbed onto the dragon bed.
"Will it be cold sleeping outside?" Su Yu was a little worried. After all, these weren't ordinary kittens, but two little babies.
"Zhen also slept like this in the winter when zhen was a child," His Majesty the Emperor didn't care. He pulled Su Yu, who was trying to get out of bed to look at his son, and pressed him under his body, "The princes should sleep together. Zhen sleeps with the Empress."
"Hey!" Su Yu quickly pushed away the Emperor who was trying to continue frying the fish. There were still a lot of things to do tomorrow. If this nonsense continued, he wouldn't be able to think about it tomorrow.
His Majesty the Emperor frowned. He turned Su Yu over and bit the back of his neck, "In the future, you don't have to make breakfast."
"En? Wu … "Before Su Yu could react to the Emperor's words, something suddenly intruded and took over his mind. He didn't have the energy to think anymore.
The moon was high in the sky. Back in the big pan that was the dragon bed, the fish that couldn't resist was turned over and fried several times. His Majesty the Emperor held the stupid slave who had fallen asleep and rubbed his neck with satisfaction. There were more and more people in the family. He couldn't let Su Yu cook all the time.
The next day, Su Yu didn't get up as expected.
His Majesty the Emperor stuffed his two sons under the quilt and went to the court with satisfaction.
When His Majesty the Emperor returned to the court, all the officials breathed a sigh of relief. During this period of time, Prince Li was the regent, and they were really miserable. Anyone who submitted a memorial to the treasury would be unhappy if it involved the matter of buying a house in the suburbs and raising a concubine.
"Zhen returns today to announce a few things to the world." His Majesty the Emperor wore the twelve pearls of the East and said with a serious face.
The Emperor had just returned to the court and announced a few major events that caused a sensation in the court.
The former Emperor didn't die. Now that he returned, he was conferred the title of Retired Emperor and lived in Wanshou Palace. Prince Jing's son was born, and the National Tutor named him the Crown Prince. The Emperor issued an imperial edict to the world. The Crown Prince was chosen, and she would be conferred the title of Empress and dismissed the harem.
As for the choice of Empress, there was no doubt that it would be Concubine Xian, who raised the eldest son and the Crown Prince and had the highest status.
The concubines were dismissed from the palace in tears, and they didn't even get to see the Emperor's face. These women had never received the Emperor's favor. After they left the palace, according to their rank in the palace, they could also be conferred the corresponding rank of Extraterrestrial Concubine after they got married, so it wasn't a loss.
After the harem was dismissed, the Empress conferment ceremony would be held soon. As for the Crown Prince's conferment ceremony, it would have to wait until the Crown Prince turned one year old.
Su Yu didn't pay attention to these things. He was busy grilling fish for Imperial Granduncle.
If Big Boss Cat was asleep, it would be fine. But recently, with a new environment and someone to play with, it didn't sleep. It had to eat once every few days.
Ordinary fish wasn't enough for Imperial Granduncle, so he had to make some big sea monsters for him.
His Majesty was unhappy when he saw Su Yu struggling to grill such a big fish. He pointed at a few cooks in the imperial kitchen and asked them to grill it. Then, he pulled Su Yu aside. "You're going to be the Empress in the future. How can you do everything by yourself?"
"Huh?" Su Yu blinked. How could she not do something like cooking by herself?
"Hmph, in the future, you're not allowed to cook for anyone other than me." His Majesty took a bite of Su Yu in dissatisfaction.
"Then my son's food …"
"You're not allowed!" His Majesty snorted and dragged Su Yu away.
When the Empress Dowager heard that they had found the ancient divine beast Imperial Granduncle, she was very curious and wanted to take a look. She even sewed a pillow-sized cloth rat for Big Boss Cat.
Everyone brought the grilled fish to Anguo Tower and found it quiet. The white-clothed servant led them to the second floor, but there was no one there.
His Majesty held Su Yu in his arms as they walked up floor by floor, all the way to the sixth floor.
On the soft snow-colored carpet, a pile of tiger fur was piled together. Imperial Granduncle was sprawled out on the carpet with his belly turned over. The National Tutor was dressed in a soft snow-colored silk robe and was lying barefoot on the soft fur, leisurely flipping through a book.
The Retired Emperor followed them up and couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene. "This won't do. We have to build a separate palace for Imperial Granduncle."
