Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
âYour Majesty, youâre so smart. Do you want to cause civil strife in the Eastern Darkness?â
âSome gossip wonât cause civil strife, but when he invades other countries, he wonât win popular support from those countries. Even the people in his own country will oppose it.â Long smiled significantly.
Shi had nothing to say about it.
After talking for a long time, Long went to sleep with Shi in his arms.
In the morning of the next day, Long didnât open his eyes until he naturally woke up, yet Shi was no longer lying beside him at that time.
Long curled his lips. He didnât know when his lover got up.
After yawning, Long got up from the bed. âQingzhou!â
Shi didnât come in, but a Shadow Guardian appeared immediately.
Long asked, âWhereâs Qingzhou?â
The Shadow Guardian replied at once, âThe empress went out and havenât come back.â
âHe went out? Do you know where he went?â Long asked again.
The Shadow Guardian said, âI donât know.â
Seeing that he wouldnât get anything useful, Long waved. âAlright. Go to bring some food here.â
âYes.â 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, Shi came back. Seeing that Long had finished eating, Shi immediately raised his eyebrows. âHmm? Youâve already finished?â
Long blinked. âYes. I didnât see you when I woke up. When did you get up?â
Shi smiled. âNot so early.â
âHave you had breakfast?â Long asked while wiping his mouth.
Shi shook his head. âNot yet.â
âIf you havenât, then hurry to eat it. Iâll have someone send more,â Long said.
Shi naturally didnât say no.
Soon, more food was sent there. When Shi sat down to eat, Long didnât ask anything. He just watched Shi eat quietly.
Shi raised his eyebrow. âYou just look at me like that?â
Long blinked. âOr what else? What do you want, Qingzhou?â
Shi cured his lips. Without saying anything, Shi continued to eat.
After Shi finished eating, Long asked servants to clean up the table, and then he smiled. âAlright. Qingzhou, now you can tell me where you went and what you did just now.â
Shi looked at Long with a smile. âYour Majesty, what do you think I did just now?â
âWho knows!â Long intentionally opened his eyes wider. âQingzhou, did you go out to meet your lover?â
âMeet my lover?â Shiâs face slightly darkened. âLong Xiaoyuan!â
Long pretended to be poor and curled his lips. âYou didnât tell me when you went out and didnât say anything when you came back. I think youâre having an affair outside...â
Long looked very sad as if he was betrayed by his lover.
The corners of Shiâs mouth twitched, since Shi didnât know what to say.
Of course Long was just kidding. He did not dare to go too far, so he said with a smile, âAlright, Qingzhou, it was my fault. How is it possible that youâre having an affair? I wronged you. Qingzhou, youâre sensible person. Please donât take it to heart.â
Shi couldnât help but roll his eyes to Long.
Long smiled flatteringly and held Shi in his arms. âQingzhou, Qingzhou. Alright. It was my fault. Iâm sorry.â
Shi really couldnât do anything to such a cheeky person. So he just said, âI went to the Tianyin post.â
âHmm? What did you go there for?â Long was confused.
Shi glanced at Long. âOf course I went to have a check.â
Hearing this, Long touched his nose immediately. He felt that compared with Shi, he seemed a little bit... irresponsible.
It couldnât be true! He knew that he was always very responsible!
âQingzhou, how are things going there?â Long asked.
After a pause, Shi said, âFang Shuoyang has handed over all the rebels. The Tianyin post is fine. Although its strength has been undermined greatly, at least itâs still there.â
Long nodded. âIt lost some influence in the martial arts world, but itâll gain it back soon.â
Shi also nodded. âYes. Zhou Huan and Fang Shuoyang... have the ability.â
âWhat? Is there anything else?â Seeing that Shi was a little hesitant, Long asked.
âBefore Zhou Huanâs 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.â
âZhou Hengliang ruined Zhou family. They really donât have any successor now.â While saying, Long frowned. âBut Fang Shuoyang and Xu You... What did Xu You say?â
âXu You doesnât know about it yet,â Shi said.
Long opened his mouth in astonishment, and then he frowned deeply.
Shi said again, âThings have been settled here and no one in the court has made a move. Itâs time for us to go back... Are you going to take Xu You back?â
Long thought for a moment and said, âLet him decide for himself. We have no right to decide for him.â
Shi nodded. âWhen are you going to meet him?â
Long sighed. âWhat do you think?â
âRight now. Then we wonât need to worry about this later.â
Long nodded. âOkay...â
At this moment, Long was glad that he didnât 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 didnât need to worry. Otherwise... that would be troublesome.
Long puckered his lips and then took Shiâs hand.
Shi seemed to have something on his mind, so he looked at Long.
Long smiled. âFortunately, weâve already had a prince.â
Shi praised his eyebrows, but still nodded. âYes...â
Although they had already had a prince, the women in the harem were still a problem.
When Shi 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 didnât plan to tell his Qingzhou... because he wanted to give Qingzhou a surprise!
