Chapter 1423: Chapter 1423: The General’s Daughter and the Power Behind the Throne (33)

The Young Emperor sat on the boat, watching the white snow falling along the banks, and felt utterly wonderful.

Finally, no more suffering in the palace.

”Mother, mother!!” The Young Emperor grabbed Chuzheng, pointing her to the distance: ”Look.”

Chuzheng showed little interest: ”Look at what?”

”Snow!!” The Young Emperor was excited.

”Haven’t seen it before?”

It snows every year in the Imperial City, what’s there to see?

The Young Emperor, with limited experience, replied: ”I’ve never seen this kind of snow.”

Mountains and rivers stretching far, coated in a layer of silver, a magnificent sight.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Making a fuss over nothing.

Chuzheng turned back to the cabin, and the Young Emperor frolicked outside for a while before coming inside exhausted.

For the first few days after leaving the palace, the Young Emperor found everything fascinating.

Even a worm could have him babbling for ages.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Young Emperor probably looked like someone unacquainted with the world...

After the boat docked, Chuzheng took the Young Emperor through several cities.

The officials they met were both good and bad.

There were quite a few corrupted officials like Lord Ding.

Especially those regions distant from the Imperial City, where the sky is high and the Emperor distant; the officials there were nearly acting like emperors themselves.

The Young Emperor was furious, instructing Eunuch Yang De to note them down in a little book, but didn’t make trouble on the spot.

The Young Emperor now understood not to alert the enemy.

With continuous heavy snow, Chuzheng and the Young Emperor were trapped in Jiangzhou.

Chuzheng acquired a courtyard, and the Young Emperor and Su Xue had a great time building snowmen together.

Eunuch Yang De urged him to do his homework, but the Young Emperor was reluctant.

The Young Emperor hugged his belongings and dashed into Chuzheng’s room, kicked off his shoes, and ran onto the couch.

”Mother.”

The Young Emperor held his face: ”Mother, do you think your son can become a good emperor?”

”If you want, then you can.”

But that’s not certain.

The Good Person Card might have already taken the throne.

”But I want...” The Young Emperor pouted, flipping open a book: ”But Mother, the world is so big, how can I manage so many people?”

In places he couldn’t see, there were so many corrupt officials.

The people were suffering while they indulged in pleasure.

He was far away in the Imperial City, how could he manage these things?

”Not necessarily by you.” Chuzheng said casually.

”Not by me? Then who?”

Chuzheng glanced at him: ”Who do you think could manage these things for you?”

The Young Emperor frowned, probably unable to think of a suitable candidate.

Chuzheng: ”See, you don’t even have a trusted minister.”

”...”

The Young Emperor felt he was looked down upon by his mother.

The Young Emperor flipped through the book loudly, without actually reading a single word of it.

The Young Emperor leaned on the table, close to Chuzheng: ”Mother, do you like General Rong?”

Chuzheng paused, looking up at him.

If the Young Emperor had a tail, it would likely be wagging by now.

”Your son noticed.” The Young Emperor was rather pleased with himself.

”...” Chuzheng paused, then with a stern face: ”I am your mother now. You’re quite happy about me putting a green hat on your father?”

Such a rebellious child, and you’re still so pleased!

The late Emperor’s coffin lid can barely be contained!

The Young Emperor blinked his eyes: ”Didn’t Father leave an Imperial Decree instructing you to leave the Imperial Palace?”

He knew about that matter too.

He never really considered Chuzheng his mother.

But the rules were in place, and he had no choice but to call her that.

”Why didn’t you leave?” The Young Emperor asked curiously: ”Doesn’t General Rong like you?”

”He prefers power more.” Chuzheng lowered her eyes and said coolly: ”So I took you and left, leaving the power for him. Maybe when you return, you won’t even be the Emperor.”

The Young Emperor: ”...”

The Young Emperor was stunned.

His mother was surely scaring him?

”Mother... Are you joking?”

Chuzheng tilted her chin, pointing at her expressionless face: ”Do I look like I’m joking?”

The Young Emperor was startled and fell backward, swallowing hard, stuttering: ”Mother... You know General Rong wants... Yet you help him?”

”If I don’t help him, who should I help?” Chuzheng said matter-of-factly.

There’s only one Good Person Card.

Of course, she would help him.

”...”

The Young Emperor felt a buzzing in his ears.

Mother, you’re too straightforward.

Is there anyone like you?

The Young Emperor grabbed his hair, barely managing to deal with one Regent Prince, and now there’s another General Rong!

This Emperor gig doesn’t work!

The Young Emperor thought in defeat.

He pushed the book on the table aside; with so many wanting to be Emperor, why should he still learn?

The Young Emperor entered a mode of eating and waiting for death, worrying Eunuch Yang De to the point his hair was almost falling out.

The heavy snow lasted for two months.

Jiangzhou City had just celebrated the New Year, and everywhere there were lanterns and decorations, with a festive atmosphere.

Su Xue was carrying items back from outside and had just reached the main door, seeing someone standing there.

Wrapped in snow-white fox fur, hood down over the head, standing with back to her.

Su Xue walked over cautiously: ”Who are you looking for?”

The person turned around, revealing a face under the hood that made Su Xue pause slightly: ”General... Rong?”

Rong Shi followed Su Xue in, his eyes sweeping over the courtyard, seeing that it was exquisite and luxurious—it seemed she was living well.

Su Xue led Rong Shi to Chuzheng’s room, was just about to knock when Rong Shi stopped her.

”I’ll go in myself.”

Su Xue: ”...”

Su Xue bowed, retreating quietly.

Rong Shi pushed the door open and entered; the room was full of warmth.

A screen blocked Rong Shi’s view; he walked around it and soon saw the girl lounging in the Consort Chair.

The girl was dressed casually, lacking the luxurious and stately attire of the palace, adding a youthful and lively flair.

Rong Shi lowered his voice, walking to the side of the Consort Chair, kneeling down and holding her hand that was hanging to one side.

”Rong Shi.”

Rong Shi’s movements paused slightly, the depths of his eyes surging.

”You’ve come.”

Rong Shi smiled, pulling her hand and pressing a kiss to her lips: ”Yes.”

He squeezed onto the not-so-spacious Consort Chair, causing Chuzheng to lay entirely in his arms.

”You knew I’d come?”

”Of course.” Chuzheng clasped his hand: ”I don’t believe you wouldn’t choose me.”

Where would you find such a Good Person if missed?

Having me, what do you lack?

”So confident?”

”Yes.”

She knew her Good Person Card well.

Rong Shi embraced Chuzheng tightly, his chin resting on her forehead.

”I missed you a lot.”

Madly missed.

Before, even if they didn’t meet, he knew where she was, and whenever he wanted, he could see her.

But after she left, the restlessness drove Rong Shi mad.

Every moment, a voice kept urging him.

Don’t lose this person.

Don’t let her leave him.

Even if it means giving up power that’s within reach.

”Have you made your choice?”

”The Empress Dowager, I’m right here. What more choice do you want me to make?” Rong Shi’s voice was low.

She anticipated he would come for sure.

His whereabouts sent to the Imperial City every now and then.

Just to tell him where she was?

What is the point in asking this now?

Chuzheng tilted her head to kiss him.

Rong Shi slightly dodged, declining with subtlety: ”Empress Dowager, I’ve hurried on the road, not very convenient...

”...”
