Chapter 104: Should He Get Married And Have Children? (II)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

“Your Majesty, you’re so smart. Do you want to cause civil strife in the Eastern Darkness?”

“Some gossip won’t cause civil strife, but when he invades other countries, he won’t win popular support from those countries. Even the people in his own country will oppose it.” Long smiled significantly.

s.h.i.+ had nothing to say about it.

After talking for a long time, Long went to sleep with s.h.i.+ in his arms.

In the morning of the next day, Long didn’t open his eyes until he naturally woke up, yet s.h.i.+ was no longer lying beside him at that time.

Long curled his lips. He didn’t know when his lover got up.

After yawning, Long got up from the bed. “Qingzhou!”

s.h.i.+ didn’t come in, but a Shadow Guardian appeared immediately.

Long asked, “Where’s Qingzhou?”

The Shadow Guardian replied at once, “The empress went out and haven’t come back.”

“He went out? Do you know where he went?” Long asked again.

The Shadow Guardian said, “I don’t know.”

Seeing that he wouldn’t get anything useful, Long waved. “Alright. Go to bring some food here.”

“Yes.” The Shadow Guardian left at once.

Soon, the breakfast was delivered.

Long felt a little hungry.

So he began to eat contentedly.

When Long finished breakfast, s.h.i.+ came back. Seeing that Long had finished eating, s.h.i.+ immediately raised his eyebrows. “Hmm? You’ve already finished?”

Long blinked. “Yes. I didn’t see you when I woke up. When did you get up?”

s.h.i.+ smiled. “Not so early.”

“Have you had breakfast?” Long asked while wiping his mouth.

s.h.i.+ shook his head. “Not yet.”

“If you haven’t, then hurry to eat it. I’ll have someone send more,” Long said.

s.h.i.+ naturally didn’t say no.

Soon, more food was sent there. When s.h.i.+ sat down to eat, Long didn’t ask anything. He just watched s.h.i.+ eat quietly.

s.h.i.+ raised his eyebrow. “You just look at me like that?”

Long blinked. “Or what else? What do you want, Qingzhou?”

s.h.i.+ cured his lips. Without saying anything, s.h.i.+ continued to eat.

After s.h.i.+ finished eating, Long asked servants to clean up the table, and then he smiled. “Alright. Qingzhou, now you can tell me where you went and what you did just now.”

s.h.i.+ looked at Long with a smile. “Your Majesty, what do you think I did just now?”

“Who knows!” Long intentionally opened his eyes wider. “Qingzhou, did you go out to meet your lover?”

“Meet my lover?” s.h.i.+’s face slightly darkened. “Long Xiaoyuan!”

Long pretended to be poor and curled his lips. “You didn’t tell me when you went out and didn’t say anything when you came back. I think you’re having an affair outside…”

Long looked very sad as if he was betrayed by his lover.

The corners of s.h.i.+’s mouth twitched, since s.h.i.+ didn’t know what to say.

Of course Long was just kidding. He did not dare to go too far, so he said with a smile, “Alright, Qingzhou, it was my fault. How is it possible that you’re having an affair? I wronged you. Qingzhou, you’re sensible person. Please don’t take it to heart.”

s.h.i.+ couldn’t help but roll his eyes to Long.

Long smiled flatteringly and held s.h.i.+ in his arms. “Qingzhou, Qingzhou. Alright. It was my fault. I’m sorry.”

s.h.i.+ really couldn’t do anything to such a cheeky person. So he just said, “I went to the Tianyin post.”

“Hmm? What did you go there for?” Long was confused.

s.h.i.+ glanced at Long. “Of course I went to have a check.”

Hearing this, Long touched his nose immediately. He felt that compared with s.h.i.+, he seemed a little bit… irresponsible.

It couldn’t be true! He knew that he was always very responsible!

“Qingzhou, how are things going there?” Long asked.

After a pause, s.h.i.+ said, “Fang Shuoyang has handed over all the rebels. The Tianyin post is fine. Although its strength has been undermined greatly, at least it’s still there.”

Long nodded. “It lost some influence in the martial arts world, but it’ll gain it back soon.”

s.h.i.+ also nodded. “Yes. Zhou Huan and Fang Shuoyang… have the ability.”

“What? Is there anything else?” Seeing that s.h.i.+ was a little hesitant, Long asked.

“Before Zhou Huan’s father died… he said he hoped that Fang Shuoyang could get married and have children, and that one of the boys could be surnamed Zhou.”

“Zhou Hengliang ruined Zhou family. They really don’t have any successor now.” While saying, Long frowned. “But Fang Shuoyang and Xu You… What did Xu You say?”

“Xu You doesn’t know about it yet,” s.h.i.+ said.

Long opened his mouth in astonishment, and then he frowned deeply.

s.h.i.+ said again, “Things have been settled here and no one in the court has made a move. It’s time for us to go back… Are you going to take Xu You back?”

Long thought for a moment and said, “Let him decide for himself. We have no right to decide for him.”

s.h.i.+ nodded. “When are you going to meet him?”

Long sighed. “What do you think?”

“Right now. Then we won’t need to worry about this later.”

Long nodded. “Okay…”

At this moment, Long was glad that he didn’t have to worry about this problem.

Otherwise, it would also be a problem for him, an emperor, to have no heir.

Luckily, he already had a little prince. So he didn’t need to worry. Otherwise… that would be troublesome.

Long puckered his lips and then took s.h.i.+’s hand.

s.h.i.+ seemed to have something on his mind, so he looked at Long.

Long smiled. “Fortunately, we’ve already had a prince.”

s.h.i.+ praised his eyebrows, but still nodded. “Yes…”

Although they had already had a prince, the women in the harem were still a problem.

When s.h.i.+ agreed to be with Long, Long promised that he would solve the problem of the harem, but there had been too many things that occupied him. And now… It was time to prepare for it.

However, Long thought he could do it himself. He didn’t plan to tell his Qingzhou… because he wanted to give Qingzhou a surprise!
