Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

Jiang Xin agreed with Xie Ze's words. Not to mention that Emperor Kang Yuan had so many concubines, his father had only married two wives, yet Fu Xuerong had caused so many troubles.

For a person by your side, quality is more important than quantity. It is enough to have a confidant who suits your heart. If the hearts are not together, even if you have many concubines, you will just be sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams.

Even though they thought so, it was not good for them to discuss the emperor in private. Jiang Xin could not help but solemnly remind His Highness: "Your Highness, you cannot speak of His Majesty like this."

Emperor Kang Yuan paused, his face slightly relaxed, and he was about to sigh that it was his niece-in-law who understood his difficulties, and then he heard Jiang Xin continue to whisper: "Otherwise, your majesty would be sad if he heard it."

Emperor Kang Yuan: “…” I’ve heard it, thank you.

"Ahem." Emperor Kang Yuan couldn't bear it any longer and made some noise. Not wanting to listen to these two people continue to hurt his heart, he walked over with an expressionless face.

Jiang Xin quickly pulled his own prince to stand up, bowed his head politely and said, "Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite, please sit down." Emperor Kang Yuan sighed and sat down on the side. Although he was a little annoyed by the whispers of the two people just now, his face still showed an unspeakable tiredness. After the two people sat down properly, he picked up the chopsticks and said lightly:

"Today is New Year's Day, so let's not talk about those things that spoil the fun. You two should accompany me to have a good meal."

It should have been a day for family reunion, but as soon as he thought of the way his sons were fighting each other in the hall to clear themselves of suspicion, he didn't want to see these sons again, at least not today.

For the sake of this seat, they probably wish they could die sooner. Even if they could force the whole family to sit at the same table, they wouldn't be able to eat together. Why make things difficult for themselves?

Since Emperor Kang Yuan had said so, Xie Ze and Jiang Xin naturally would not go and ask him about the progress of the assassination case, and they just sat down and had dinner with Emperor Kang Yuan.

The meals in the palace were indeed very good. Although Jiang Xin had already eaten some, his appetite was still very good. Besides, he didn't know what to say, so he and His Highness, one of them ate happily while the other fed him well.

Emperor Kang Yuan had a hard time eating at first, but when he saw the two men eating in perfect harmony, somehow the haze in his heart dissipated a lot, and his appetite improved as well, and he took a few more dishes with his chopsticks.

Emperor Kang Yuan didn't put down his chopsticks until he felt a slight feeling of fullness in his stomach. He looked at the two of them with a smile and asked, "How are the preparations for the wedding going?"

"It's still in preparation. Someone from the Garment Bureau came a few days ago to measure the sizes of me and Ah Xin. It will take a few days for the dresses to be made." When Xie Ze heard about the wedding, he finally paid some attention to Emperor Kang Yuan.

Emperor Kang Yuan nodded and said, "I will give you some more money from my private treasury. You are older than the other princes and it was not easy for you to get married. You cannot be more shabby than them."

Xie Ze was stunned when he heard this, and then he happily bowed to Emperor Kang Yuan and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Perhaps it was his wedding with Ashin that completely dispelled the fear in Emperor Kang Yuan's heart. In this life, Emperor Kang Yuan seemed to trust and love him more than in the previous life.

Emperor Kang Yuan didn't know what he was thinking, he just smiled with relief and said: "It's a little late today, you can stay in the palace, and it's okay to go back tomorrow."

Xie Ze frowned imperceptibly, but before he could speak, his tutor pulled at his clothes hidden under the table. He could only nod and said reluctantly, "I obey your order."

Emperor Kang Yuan was almost laughing at their little actions: "What? Are you not happy that I let you stay in the palace for one night? How many people want to have such an honor, but I didn't give it to them."

"No, I'm not unwilling." Before Xie Ze could speak, Jiang Xin grabbed his hand and said respectfully, "Your Highness is, it's just that he's slow to react."

Xie Ze & Emperor Kang Yuan: "..."

Jiang Xin knew, of course, that his Highness was thinking about the appointment they had made yesterday to go to the river to set off fireworks after returning home today, but it was unknown what Emperor Kang Yuan had found out, and he looked as if he was about to fall apart.

After all, His Majesty really loves and dotes on His Highness, so they should stay and comfort His Majesty.

"Well, I'm not unwilling." Ah Xin had said so, what else could Xie Ze say? He could only listen to his wife. By the way, he nodded to agree and said seriously: "It just so happens that Ah Xin has never lived in the palace. I will take him around later."

"..." Emperor Kang Yuan twitched his lips, resisted the urge to hold his forehead, waved his hand and said with a look of disgust: "Forget it, you guys go, go, go quickly, leave me alone."

Leaving them here to be so affectionate would make him, the emperor, look even more lonely and helpless, and would simply be asking for trouble.

Seeing this, Xie Ze and Jiang Xin tactfully took their leave. Before leaving, he thought for a moment and looked at Emperor Kang Yuan, comforting him: "Your Majesty has three thousand concubines and many children. Even if everyone has their own plans, at least most people wish you the best."

Emperor Kang Yuan's expression relaxed, but then he thought that they hoped for his well-being only because they had no hope for this position and could only rely on him, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Throughout history, perhaps anyone who sits on the throne of an emperor will inevitably end up being alone.

"Your Majesty is the emperor. You don't need to worry about this."

What this means is that Emperor Kang Yuan does not need to get caught up in the dilemma that his concubines and children are dependent on him because of his status. He and his status cannot be considered separately.

Although he knew that this brat was trying to comfort him, Emperor Kang Yuan couldn't help but snort and laugh when he saw the two people standing in front of him and daring to hold hands, and said jokingly:

"So, you are also the first prince of my Dali Dynasty, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Do you not need to worry about whether your lover likes you as a person or your identity?"

"Of course." Xie Ze said without hesitation, "No matter who I am, Ashin likes me." Having lived two lives, he still has some confidence. He and Ashin will not get entangled in such trivial matters.

Jiang Xin: “…”

Emperor Kang Yuan: “…” I am asking this question unnecessarily and bringing humiliation upon myself!
