It was my mother's design... These words made Emperor Mingde's heart skip a beat before he sat down opposite Shi Anxia.

Shi Anxia did not stand up and kneel to greet him as usual. She just skillfully prepared the tea on the tea tray and explained with a smile, "Not bad, right? It was my mother's idea. She also paid for it and hired a skilled craftsman to make it."

Emperor Mingde did not respond.

Shi Anxia continued to talk on her own, "My mother, although she doesn't have the means and intelligence of a daughter of an aristocratic family, is actually the most interesting. As long as no one restrains her, her mind will be active. She is really full of talent. Just write a short story, and even the great talent Lu will praise her."

"Lu Sangyu?" Emperor Mingde couldn't help but ask.

Shi Anxia nodded, "Yes, Lu Sangyu even said something bad to Mr. Huang about 'Mr. Chu Sheng' a few days ago."

"So 'Mr. Chu Sheng' is indeed your mother?"

"Of course it's her." Shi Anxia gently poured the water used to brew tea into the tea tray, and the air was filled with the fragrance of tea, which made people feel relaxed. "Although her writing style is different from the traditional one, the words she wrote are as simple and easy to understand as our daily conversations, so that ordinary people can understand them."

Nowadays, scholars buy newspapers at the entrance of many alleys and make a living by reading newspapers for people who want to read newspapers but cannot read. They earn a few cents and the money they earn from the newspapers is paid back.

Emperor Mingde said calmly, "Not only the people like to watch it, I also like to watch it."

Shi Anxia nodded, "It's not surprising. Even my husband said that my mother's stories are more interesting than those written by many people." She couldn't help laughing, "My mother is so proud now."

Emperor Mingde imagined in his mind the woman's smug and lovely smile. He pondered for a while and asked without thinking, "Did the prince consort tell you?"

Shi Anxia raised her smiling eyes and personally placed a cup of hot tea in front of Emperor Mingde, "Father, do you think I am blind? Do you need your husband to tell me?"

Emperor Mingde took a sip of tea and said sullenly, "I... never thought of disturbing your mother. You can rest assured. You don't have to treat it as a major enemy."

This was exactly what Shi Anxia wanted, and he filled his cup with wine attentively, "Then I will feel relieved."

Emperor Mingde: “…”

As expected, if a daughter is not a biological child, she is not caring. Of course, even if she is a biological child, no one is caring.

This life is so lonely.

Shi Anxia looked through the curling steam, the tea moistened her throat, and her words were particularly gentle, "Father, you are a very good person."

Here you come, give you a candy first...Emperor Mingde is very familiar with this routine.

Isn't this the way he usually treats his subjects? He never expected that one day someone would use this trick on him.

Then An Xia continued, "If you were just an ordinary official, or just a businessman, I would be happy to see it happen. I hope you and my mother can get married and live happily together. But you are the emperor of the North Wing!"

Emperor Mingde lowered his brows and drank his tea in silence.

So the emperor is not a human being!

As if seeing through his thoughts, Shi Anxia responded, "The emperor is not a human being..."

"Ok?"

"That's God! A god-like person!"

"Oh." Emperor Mingde raised his eyes and looked over, "Then he is still a human."

As long as one is a human being, he or she will have seven emotions and six desires, greed, anger, ignorance, and birth, old age, sickness and death.

Shi Anxia poured him another cup of wine and pushed the snacks on the plate to the side. "Father, my mother is simple-minded and can't handle those conspiracies. If you reveal even a little bit of your thoughts, my mother won't know how she died."

If it were usual, Emperor Mingde would have guaranteed that he had never thought of developing more interactions with Tang Chujun.

But after Huang Xingyue fell in love with Tang Chujun, Emperor Mingde's mind had actually changed. He couldn't help but say something, "So you want to keep her captive and not let her have her own family?"

Shi Anxia was stunned, and quickly expressed her opinion, "No. If mother finds someone who shares the same feelings with her, I will be overjoyed."

But I am not happy! Emperor Mingde did not say it out loud.

"I said, my mother shouldn't be the one being detained." Shi Anxia almost said, your harem is a shackle, it's not suitable for my mother.

Emperor Mingde was silent for a while before saying, "I know my limits, so you don't have to worry. I came here today to listen to the story of the Zhou family father and son."

"Father, do you treat me as the Northern Wing Ceremony?" Shi Anxia said with a smile.

Emperor Mingde also smiled and looked up at his daughter in front of him, whose features were exactly the same as Tang Chujun's.

He didn't want to listen to the prince consort's stories.

He asked, what happened to that person in the dream?

The prince consort replied: Dead.

How did you die?

The prince consort replied, it doesn’t matter how you die, it’s the same anyway.

This! Listen to this sense of superiority!

If he could dream, would he still need to look at his son-in-law's face?

Emperor Mingde urged, "Tell me quickly, I want to know why you are pleading for a cheater today."

Shi Anxia didn't hide it and started talking.

When she told the story, her voice still had the natural childishness of a little girl, but her tone was mature and sophisticated that only comes from going through a lot of things.

She is a good storyteller, and her words sketch out a painful history.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, with no one to turn to for help, they defended the city desperately, but no reinforcements came.

The surrounding cities were all filled with surrendered generals. The most important thing was that the area under the jurisdiction of General Wei Nan Ying Liangchen included Zhaozhou in addition to Jiangzhou, Yuezhou, Yizhou, and Linzhou.

Especially when it comes to the fact that Zhou Weijiang has become a scarecrow in the eyes of the enemy, Emperor Mingde is deeply saddened.

Amid the gurgling water, the two people who had both sat in high positions had a wonderful resonance at this moment.

Emperor Mingde felt a pain in his chest as if it was pierced by an arrow. His people were so miserable!

Both of them were extremely restrained people, and before they knew it, the speaker's eyes were filled with tears, and the listener's eyes were wet, but neither of them made any further judgment on it.

Because now, there is still a chance to start over.

Emperor Mingde suddenly felt a surge of pride, "I cannot die!"

Shi Anxia agreed, "Father, you must be healthy and live a long life."

Just as we reached a consensus, Longjiang arrived.

Long Jiang glanced at Shi Anxia and saw that Emperor Mingde had no intention of asking him to avoid the situation, so he reported, "The carriage that was just moving back to the palace was attacked. Three assassins died and one escaped."

Finally, he added, "It's the car that the prince consort pretends to be yours."

Emperor Mingde went out of the palace to watch the competition these days. At least seven identical carriages left the palace from different palace gates and went to the Imperial Examination Hall, just in case.

I was on guard today.

Shi Anxia's heart sank, "Is the Prince Consort injured?"

Long Jiang replied respectfully, "Princess Haiyan, the prince consort was slightly injured and took a detour back to the palace."

Shi Anxia felt relieved, "Father, it's getting late, please go back to the palace. I will go back and wait for the prince consort."

Emperor Mingde couldn't bear to know that she was in a hurry to send him away as soon as she heard that the prince consort was injured. It was not easy for an ordinary family to go through the daily routine, so he had to continue.

Long Jiang did come specifically to bring Emperor Mingde back to the palace, but he left in a hurry with Emperor Mingde for fear of encountering danger again.

When Anxia returned to Tinglan Courtyard, she asked from a distance, "Hongque, is the young master back?"
