I don’t want to be the protagonist of a melodramatic novel!

Although Su Jiuyue was busy at this moment, she did not forget the most important thing, that is, Yunze's birthday gift!

Yunze's birthday was on September 17th, and now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed for a long time, Yunze's birthday is coming soon.

Although Yunze is only 18 years old this time, there is no need to make a big celebration, and Yunze only invited some high-ranking officials and royal family members to attend.

But this is completely different for Su Jiuyue. This is the first time he has returned to Beijing to spend a birthday banquet with Yunze since he left Beijing.

The gift he wants to give must move his little majesty very much.

It's best to make his little majesty cry and call Sister Yue!

What Yunze didn't expect was that he didn't become a pervert because of the novel, but Su Jiuyue became a pervert who only wanted him to call Sister Yue.

Su Jiuyue shook her head and shook out the thoughts in her mind. The question now is what to give Yunze.

The whole world belongs to the king, and what new things in this world are there that Yunze hasn't seen?

This made Su Jiuyue feel troubled. If he wanted to surprise Yunze, he had to create something that Yunze had never seen before.

Thinking of this, Su Jiuyue seemed to have thought of something, but soon shook his head. His first task was to reorganize the imperial guards in the capital.

If he couldn't even reorganize the imperial guards, how could he talk about the Longevity Festival?

On the other side, Yunze, who was sitting high in the palace, looked at the two old men who were drinking tea calmly in front of him with some helplessness, smiled bitterly and said,"Father and Mother, when did you come to Beijing? Why didn't you tell me?""

"Humph, I don't want to be stared at by the civil and military officials, so it's better to keep a low profile."Yun Qi, the former Emperor Yufeng and now the Emperor Emeritus, snorted coldly, as if to express his dissatisfaction with his son interrupting his trip to Jiangnan.

"You old man, why are you talking so harshly to Ze Ge'er?"The former Empress Xu, now Empress Dowager Xu Yun, also glared at the Emperor, causing him to stop talking, but he was still staring at Yunze. Seeing this

, Yunze didn't care about his father's shitty attitude, but thought it was better this way, so he decisively sat next to his mother, leaning against her and acting coquettishly.

"Mother, look, father is still glaring at me."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager quickly protected Yunze and glared at the Emperor Retired beside her. The Emperor Retired also quickly stopped glaring at Yunze and looked at the Empress Dowager innocently.

This damn little bastard, when he was young, he was competing with me for my wife, and now he is still competing with me when he grows up!

After the farce, the Empress Dowager also asked about the business. She looked a little puzzled and asked Yunze:"My niece, your cousin really broke off the engagement with you?"

Yunze also nodded to indicate that it was true.

At this time, the Emperor Retired, who had just shut up, also looked serious:"Is it because Marquis Jing'an has been living too comfortably recently?"

"This matter has nothing to do with my uncle. It seems that all this is because of Xu Ruoxi's own decision."Yun Ze shook his head to indicate that it had nothing to do with Jing Anhou.

The Empress Dowager on the side also shook her head with pity. She originally thought that Xu Ruoxi and Yun Ze would develop feelings for each other sooner or later when they grew up together. In this way, Yun Ze would at least have a confidant after ascending the throne and would not be lonely.

But obviously this idea was a bit unsuccessful. Her niece and her son obviously did not like each other.

"Well, since you have already dealt with it, we will not ask any more questions. What do you think about the choice of the queen?"

The emperor nodded, and then he looked at Yunze, obviously wanting to ask Yunze's opinion. Yunze shook his head to show that he had no intention, and just looked at the queen ingratiatingly and said:"Ze Ge'er doesn't have anyone he likes, so everything for Ze Ge'er is up to you, mother."

"Humph." Seeing Yunze acting like a lackey, the emperor snorted again in annoyance. He didn't know who he looked like. He didn't look like an emperor at all!

""Okay, okay, it's true. You are so old, why are you still acting like a child?" The Empress Dowager was so happy to be coaxed by Yunze that she couldn't stop smiling.

""Ze'er has always been a child in front of the Queen Mother." Yun Ze, who was 1.8 meters tall, looked at the Empress Dowager with grievance, and also glanced at the Emperor Dowager provocatively. The Emperor

Dowager was so angry that he pulled out several strands of his beard.

"Why haven't you repaired the palace yet?"On the way to the palace, the emperor looked at the paint-peeling pillars and asked Yunze

"Ah?" Yunze was suddenly asked, and suddenly cold sweat broke out. He lowered his head and said in a calm voice:"The treasury is out of money."

"What?!" The emperor was a little shocked when he heard the answer. If he remembered correctly, there were at least tens of millions of taels of silver in the treasury when he abdicated. How come there was no money in the treasury after Yunze ascended the throne for a year?

"Can you tell me in detail how much money is left in the treasury now?"The emperor didn't care about his status, and directly grabbed Yunze's shoulders with both hands, shaking Yunze madly and asked Yunze.

Yunze felt that his soul was about to be shaken out, but fortunately his dear mother stopped his father. After a while, Yunze organized his words and said carefully:

"There are so many things to do recently. The Gunpowder Department has to develop new muskets, cement roads have to be paved in the prefectures near Kyoto, and trade has to be opened at the northwest border....So the treasury now has only about two million taels of silver."

Yun Ze said as he counted on his fingers, listing several important things to do, which almost made the emperor faint.

The silver he had earned after more than 20 years of hard work was basically squandered by this little bastard in the first year of his reign.

"So father, would you like to take out some money from your private treasury to support your son?"

Yunze saw the appearance of the emperor at this moment. Although he felt a little ashamed, he still shamelessly asked his father for money.

It was obvious that Yunze had already realized the essence of being an emperor. At least the emperor felt that he was not as thick-skinned as Yunze after living for more than 50 years.

The emperor was so angry that he almost laughed. He pointed at Yunze and shouted at Yunze to get out.

After hearing this, Yunze also took advantage of the donkey to go downhill and walked out of the emperor's sight.

After Yunze disappeared, the anger on the emperor's face disappeared, and there was only a relieved smile on his face.

"Ze Ge'er has really grown up." The emperor said to the empress dowager with a sigh.

"Why are you pretending to be angry if you are so happy?"The Empress Dowager smiled with her hands covering her mouth. It was obviously not the first time she had seen the Emperor Dowager's face-changing scene in Sichuan Opera.

"Humph, if I do this, with that kid's personality, he would be so proud of me." The emperor raised his head and said proudly

"Look at how proud you are."The Empress Dowager stood on tiptoe and patted the Emperor on the head.

"Humph, I made so much money for the people of the world, not to let it gather dust in the national treasury. Now Ze Ge'er puts the people of the world first in his heart. I taught Ze Ge'er so well, if I'm not proud, who should be proud?"

"Tsk, you are so shameless and arrogant, and you said that you don’t know who Ze Ge’er looks like. I think Ze Ge’er looks exactly like you."

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor Dowager walked to their own palaces while arguing with each other.

According to some rumors, the Yun royal family is not only affectionate, but also arrogant and shameless! But whether this is credible or not, perhaps only the people closest to the Yun royal family know.
