After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Longpa? Chu Huan couldn't help but laugh and cry: "What kind of name is this?"

Ning Er looked up and said, "The clothes the emperor wears are called dragon robes, so the emperor's handkerchief is naturally a dragon handkerchief." She made a worried expression, "If I use this handkerchief, wouldn't that be overstepping my authority?"

Seeing that she was still in the mood to joke, Chu Huan knew that she was feeling better. He shook his head and said with a smile, "You have used so much of my stuff. Isn't it too late to worry about it now?"

Ning Er was stunned for a while before she realized that this was the first time Chu Huan called himself "Zhen" in front of her. She murmured, "He really is the emperor."

"Yeah," Chu Huan answered her patiently, "I didn't lie to you." He coaxed her to take away the handkerchief and looked at it carefully again: "It seems that there are still some bloodstains. How do you feel now?"

Ning Er waved her hand and said, "It's healed. What's the big deal? It's just a minor injury." She adjusted her sitting position and asked a question that interested her more: "What is your Majesty like in the palace? Is it the same grand ceremony as before? Isn't it a bit awkward to have so many people serving you?"

Her questions came one after another, as if she wanted to ask out all the doubts that had accumulated for so long in one breath: "What does the imperial palace look like? Does it have three palaces and six courtyards, filled with concubines and ladies? Also, the eldest princess is your majesty's sister, why does she look so much older than you? Does your majesty have other brothers?"

Chu Huan smiled and said, "You asked so many questions in one breath, where should I start?"

He observed for a while and made sure that Ning'er would not bleed anymore before he took her hand and stood up. The two of them walked slowly along the mountain path.

Pushing aside the slanting branches, the warm breeze blew on his face. Chu Huan always kept an eye on Ning'er's feet. Looking at the familiar mountain road in front of him, he felt inexplicably dazed.

He suddenly recalled that it was here that he met that strong little girl. She was two or three years older than she is now, but much thinner than Ning'er is now. But when she smiled, her sparkling eyes were exactly the same as now.

Chu Huan felt a dull pain in his heart. He couldn't describe what it felt like. If only he had met her earlier in his previous life, if only he had taken her away without hesitation when he met her, if only he could come back earlier in this life...

Would Ning'er suffer less, feel less hurt, and live a happier and more carefree life?

He stared at the graceful figure in front of him and suddenly called her: "Ning'er, I noticed that you seem to have grown taller."

"Really?" Ning Er suddenly became happy. She ran to him and turned around lively: "Look, have you really grown taller?"

Chu Huan answered affirmatively: "Really, you came to my place at that time." He stretched out his hand and gestured, "You are already here now."

Pure joy bloomed on her face, and at that moment Ning'er's smile overwhelmed the spring flowers blooming in the eldest princess's garden.

She said happily, "When my mother sees me later, she will be very happy. When I was a child, she was most worried that I would eat too little and be too thin. 'If I eat only cat food, I won't grow tall in the future.'"

A bitter feeling rushed into Chu Huan's eyes. He tried to smile and nodded: "Yes, later, you should show it to mother carefully."

In the previous life, Ning'er, who fell into his arms, had a small body and was as light as a cat.

----

Ning'er didn't tell him the order of answering. Chu Huan thought about it and decided to start with what he cared about most.

"I have no queen, nor do I have concubines. There are people living in the three palaces and six courtyards in the palace, but they are all the old concubines of the previous emperor."

Ning Er looked at Ling Wei in surprise. She didn't expect that he would take her joke so seriously. "Then you, aren't you the only one in the palace?"

Chu Huan smiled slightly and said, "How can I be the only one here? The imperial city is full of people, slaves who serve the masters, and little slaves who serve the big slaves. The palace is full of palace servants and eunuchs, and guards. There are twelve prisons, four departments, eight bureaus, and twenty-four yamen. This is just the internal official prison. If you count the palace maids and female officials in the six bureaus and twenty-four departments, and the private servants raised by the empress dowagers and concubines, add up all the things together, can you imagine how many there are?"

Ning Er was stunned: "Oh my God, there are so many people! How can we accommodate them all and support them all?"

Chu Huan listened to her childish talk and smiled, "This is not too much. After all, the assignments for concubines are still vacant. If you just do the math, it's another big bill. But the palace is spacious, so there's no need to worry about having no place to live."

Ning Er asked again: "But you are not young anymore, why haven't you gotten married yet?"

Chu Huan heard her ask so bluntly, and smiled helplessly: "This is a long story, I was planning to tell you slowly later. Before I took power, I only thought about taking power and politics, and never thought about matters between men and women. At that time, my mother planned to marry a girl from the Ming family for me in exchange for the support of the then powerful Prime Minister Ming Taifu."

"But I didn't want to be constrained, so I had to use some drastic measures. Unexpectedly, the measures seemed too drastic, and I was able to have peace for many years. When the border was pacified and the country was stable, the civil and military officials in the court tried their best to get their daughters and sisters into the palace."

Chu Huan shook his head: "But they don't know that I have already made up my mind that I will only marry someone I truly love in this life. I am really not interested in those noble ladies. When my father was alive, I don't know how many concubines and royal daughters he had, hoping to expand the royal family, but things did not go as planned, and he only left me and Linping with a pair of children. It can be seen that the fate of having children is determined by heaven, and it cannot be made up by taking concubines desperately."

When Ning Er was among the common people, she saw that those poor men who had no roof over their heads dreamed of getting married, and those who were a little better off were thinking about taking concubines. She thought that having three or four wives was a man's nature. But she didn't expect to hear such words from the rich emperor.

She couldn't help but be surprised: "You should really tell these words to those masters who have many wives and concubines."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Summer insects cannot talk about ice. Tell them? Don't be fooled by their obedience on the surface. I don't know what they are plotting against me behind my back."

As he spoke, he actually started thinking about something else: "Ning'er, if you want to know what the palace looks like, why don't you come and see it yourself?"

Ning Er pointed at herself and said in disbelief: "Me? Entering the palace?"

Chu Huan mentioned another matter: "Remember, I once said that I would arrange for you to study and go to school?"

Ning Er nodded: "Of course I remember this."

Chu Huan said, "My plan at that time was to use Linping's name to arrange for you to go to a girls' school with the daughters of several princes and princesses, and then find a few girls you like to accompany you. But now it seems that there is a better way."

The more he thought about it, the more he thought this was a good idea. Chu Huan smiled at Ning Er, who was dressed in men's clothes, and said, "Now that everyone knows that a young master Ning has returned to the capital, why should we ask you to go to a girls' school? Wouldn't it be better to give you an official status and enter the palace to study at the official school?"

"But this status cannot be too low, otherwise it will inevitably be excluded by others. If it is too high, it may cause jealousy..."

Ning Er listened and actually thought this was a good idea: "Your Majesty is right. It's neither too high nor too low, it's the middle way..."

Chu Huan clapped his hands, thinking he had a brilliant idea: "How about conferring the title of Prince of Linqing?"

"Hmm... Hmm? What?" Ning'er nodded halfway, then suddenly stopped. She looked up in surprise, "Prince?!"

Your Majesty, are you crazy?
