Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed. The Hundred-Day Memorial for the Late Emperor was approaching.
From the early morning preparations to entering the Mausoleum for the memorial service, I was clearly arranged by the Ministry of Rites.
After all the formalities, my toes felt like they were about to split from exhaustion. Finally, I heard a voice declare, "The ceremony is complete," and I was able to rest with the Emperor in the Eternal Bright Hall.
We sat separately on the main thrones of the hall. While he reviewed memorials, I couldn't help but watch him.
The Emperor was truly handsome. If I could just steal a kiss, I could go three days without eating Pork Knuckle!
As I was lost in thought, the Emperor suddenly looked up. I didn't have time to avert my gaze and ended up locking eyes with him.
"Why does Mother look at me so?" His voice remained cold as ever.
I silently huffed, thinking to myself, with a face like that, how could anyone not look?
I dared not say it aloud, so I meekly replied, "I'm hungry."
As I spoke, I pointed to the pastries beside him.
I really was hungry; it had been a whole day since dawn without any food.
At this point, even if a live pig were in front of me, I'd be ready to hug it and start gnawing.
The Emperor regarded me for a moment, then sighed deeply before handing me the plate of pastries in front of him.
I didn't hesitate and took it eagerly. Just as I was enjoying my snack, he suddenly spoke again.
"I received secret reports that Prince Yong'an harbors intentions of rebellion."
"Pfft—"
I sprayed crumbs everywhere.
This time, he managed to dodge quickly and avoided getting hit in the face.
"Impossible!"
I held the plate of pastries firmly and declared, "My father bastard s you every day while squatting in the corner with the Prime Minister. He would never rebel!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly realized my mistake.
Oh no, that's not something I should say!
I hurriedly explained, "It's tough love! My father often beats me when I'm at home..."
The more I spoke, the worse it seemed.
"In any case, those who openly bastard will definitely not plot in secret. Besides, I think they have a point..."
Before I could finish my sentence, the Emperor's face had turned completely dark.
Oh no, this time the Emperor really might wipe out my entire family!
I sniffled and quickly stuffed several pieces of pastry into my mouth.
"What are you doing?" The Emperor frowned.
"Just wait a moment! Let me finish eating before you kill me... sniff..." I replied while sobbing.
The corners of the Emperor's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was suppressing his anger.
"I never said I was going to kill you!"
Not going to kill me?
I quickly chewed a few times and swallowed the pastries in my mouth.
"Then are you going to depose me?"
Feeling wronged, I continued, "It's not like I wanted to be the Empress Dowager. They insisted that I take on the role... I'm even younger than you! How can I be your mother? If I'm not doing well, just depose me!"
I sniffled and stuffed a piece of snowflake cream into my mouth.
Mmm... so sweet!
That day, the Emperor stared at me for a long time but didn’t say anything about deposing me.
I finally managed to fall asleep, heart racing, only to be awakened by some noise in the room.
My father is the War King, and I have been practicing martial arts since childhood. The last time I dealt with an assassin was when I was thirteen.
With a belly full of morning grumpiness, I shot up and locked eyes with the assassin who had just approached me.
"Who are you?!"
"I am your father!"
That scoundrel! Taking advantage of me!
"You dog thief, seeking death!"
I launched a flying kick at him.
After a dozen moves, I found myself captured.
