Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler Chapter 460 - He Is Dazzling

460. He Is Dazzling

A real bargain or not, Liu Suifeng prepared what Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou needed before he left.

Apart from the portion for Stony, he made dozens of extra ones.

As for how these portions should be used, it was up to Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.

Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou left with Liu Suifeng, but they didn’t go to the general’s mansion. Instead, they went to see Ouyang Chuan, who had a small accident the other day when he cultivated internal strength. Now he was recuperating at home. He was not feeling well.

Liu Suifeng had intended to stay home and take care of him this day, but Ouyang Chuan thought Liu Suifeng was disturbing him, so he chased him out.

This was why Liu Suifeng opened the clinic today.

Otherwise, he would not have worked this day.

Ouyang Chuan was resting when Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou arrived.

They followed Liu Suifeng into the room.

Ouyang Chuan sat up at sight of Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.

“Why are you here?”

Long Xiaoyuan said, “We come to see you.”

Ouyang Chuan looked at Long Xiaoyuan suspiciously. “Are you so nice? If I remember correctly, today there seems to be the celebration for Stony turning one month old.”

Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “You have a good memory.”

Ouyang Chuan rolled his eyes. “It’s not a matter of good memory. You like to fool others as if they are idiots.”

Long Xiaoyuan sat down on the chair in the room. More than that, he pulled s.h.i.+ Qingzhou over and sat him down.

He felt totally at home.

All the lands in the world belonged to the emperor, and all the human in the world were his people.

It was natural that he felt at home everywhere.

Long Xiaoyuan poured himself a gla.s.s of water after he got seated.

Moreover, he did not forget to pour s.h.i.+ Qingzhou a gla.s.s of water.

After he finished drinking, Ouyang Chuan stood up.

Long Xiaoyuan said, “Let’s go to the general’s mansion together.”

Ouyang Chuan did not refuse, nodding.

Liu Suifeng was a little worried. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

Ouyang Chuan rolled his eyes at Liu Suifeng. “Of course.”

“Alright.” Liu Suifeng did not say anything else. He agreed after he felt Ouyang Chuan’s pulse.

Long Xiaoyuan was confused. “How did the accident happen?”

Ouyang Chuan said, “I was not concentrating. Thankfully there is no big problem.”

Long Xiaoyuan couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s really dangerous to cultivate internal power…”

Everyone was speechless.

In the end, Liu Suifeng cleared his throat and said, “Usually, there aren’t any problems. We just need to pay attention.”

Long Xiaoyuan blinked and looked at Ouyang Chuan.

“Do you hear that? This is the result that you don’t pay attention to!”

Ouyang Chuan was annoyed.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou interrupted, “Come on, stop talking nonsense. Let’s go.”

They listened to him and went straight to the general’s mansion.

This day, the general’s mansion hummed with activities.

From the afternoon until evening, guests kept coming and going.

In the beginning, s.h.i.+ Qingshan didn’t want to attract attention, so he kept a low profile.

However, the Emperor and the Empress disagreed, so s.h.i.+ Qingshan could only give a grand party for the purpose of establis.h.i.+ng the position of the baby in the general’s mansion. Stony would be the heir.

Of course, no matter how grand this party was, it would not be better than that of the prince.

It was grand among the officials.

The ministers were smart, and they knew the status of the s.h.i.+ family.

As long as the Empress was favored and the Emperor was in power, the s.h.i.+ family’s glory would continue.

Therefore, the officials naturally came to the party.

After the cleansing campaign, there was no big problem with the officials’ conduct.

Those with problem had been punished or dismissed. As a result, the rest were fine.

Of course, there might be hidden schemes, but overall it was unlikely.

At least, these officials in the Imperial City were unlikely.

Although they had no big problems, it did not mean that they were stupid.

They always went after the profit and avoided the harm.

Therefore, it was not surprising that the general’s mansion was bustling.

Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou did not come out to meet the guests. If they were there, even the officials wouldn’t have a good time.

Long Xiaoyuan was well aware of this since he came from modern times, so he would not dampen their spirit with his presence.

Otherwise, the guests would be intimidated.

Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou stayed in the backyard.

Madam s.h.i.+ was with them.

Even though it was a party for her son, she was a woman after all, and she had been recuperating for only a month. She didn’t need to go out and meet the guests.

Therefore, she stayed behind and entertained Long Xiaoyuan.

The baby was taken out and showed to the guests when the party started, and he was carried back with the excuse of feeding him. Now he was with s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.

Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan were very interested in the baby, and they had been amusing him.

Long Xiaoyuan couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t you have a baby?”

Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan were instantly annoyed.

“What are you talking about? Why don’t you have a baby? We’re men, so how can we have a baby?” Liu Suifeng shouted angrily.

Ouyang Chuan nodded. “That’s right. Try and have a baby yourself. If you can have one, I’ll have one.”

“We have a son, the crown prince,” Long Xiaoyuan said innocently.

Liu Suifeng was helpless. “We are talking about different things.”

“What is different? I say he is our son, and he is our son. You don’t need to give birth to a baby if you want one. Go and adopt a baby that you like. It will be close to you if you bring it up.”

Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan exchanged a glance and pondered.

Perhaps Long Xiaoyuan was right.

However, raising children was difficult, and they didn’t seem to be ready.

The two of them exchanged a glance, and in the end, they didn’t continue the topic.

When Long Xiaoyuan was almost through with dinner, Stony started to cry.

Long Xiaoyuan hurriedly said, “What’s wrong? Is he hungry?”

Madam s.h.i.+ said, “It’s possible. Excuse me.”

“Mother, go ahead. Don’t worry about us. We’ll go back later.”

Madam s.h.i.+ nodded. “Alright. Take care on the way back.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou stood up. “Mother, I’ll walk you there.”

“No need.” Madam s.h.i.+ hurriedly waved her hand. “I’m right behind here. You don’t need to do that.”

“Okay.” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou didn’t insist.

After Madam s.h.i.+ left, Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou did not stay in the general’s mansion for long.

Liu Suifeng’s gifts were received, and the baby was wearing one of them. Long Xiaoyuan put two on s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou wanted to refuse, but Long Xiaoyuan insisted.

After they left the general’s mansion, Long Xiaoyuan walked with s.h.i.+ Qingzhou on the road, hand in hand, instead of taking the carriage.

They walked on the road.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said, “It is a long distance from the palace. Are you sure you can walk all the way back?”

Long Xiaoyuan said indifferently, “Of course. Don’t worry.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou smiled and didn’t say anything else.

Long Xiaoyuan did walk all the way back.

Long Xiaoyuan didn’t complain that he was tired. s.h.i.+ Qingzhou walked with him. The two of them didn’t walk very fast.

By the time they returned to the palace, it was already very late, but both of them were happy.

They didn’t drink in the general’s mansion, and Long Xiaoyuan felt like a drink when he returned to the palace.

“Qingzhou, it’s a rare happy day today. Let’s drink some wine.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked at him. “Is it rare?”

“Yeah, it’s rare to be happy.” Long Xiaoyuan giggled.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said, “You’ve been very happy recently.”

Long Xiaoyuan pouted. “So what? Anyway, I feel like drinking today.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan and gave in helplessly. “Okay, let’s drink. Where do you want to drink?”

“Of course in the yard. It’s romantic there.”

“Romantic?” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said with a faint smile. “We are like an old married couple, and we don’t need any romance.”

“Nonsense.” Long Xiaoyuan was displeased. He pulled s.h.i.+ Qingzhou over to sit on his lap. “Qingzhou, you are still young. How could you think that way? Besides, no matter how old you are, I will give you all my romance. Qingzhou, don’t worry.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan. “I’m not worried about anything. What is there to worry about?”

“Yes, yes.” Long Xiaoyuan smiled and kissed s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s lips. “Qingzhou, you don’t have to worry about anything. We will lead our life like this.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou smiled slightly and said indifferently, “Okay.”

The Shadow Guardians quickly brought over the wine. Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou sat opposite each other. In addition to the wine, the Shadow Guardians prepared some dishes.

Long Xiaoyuan didn’t want to drink wine only, afraid of hurting his stomach, and he was even more afraid of hurting s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s stomach!

Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan fed s.h.i.+ Qingzhou a lot of food while drinking.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou had eaten a lot in the general’s mansion, and his belly bulged when he was fed like this by Long Xiaoyuan. He frowned.

Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “Qingzhou, you look so beautiful.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan in frustration.

“My belly is bulging. How can you say that?”

Long Xiaoyuan grinned. “You look good no matter what.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou rolled his eyes and ignored Long Xiaoyuan.

Long Xiaoyuan got a little drunk.

He pulled s.h.i.+ Qingzhou into the room.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou followed him.

Long Xiaoyuan dragged s.h.i.+ Qingzhou to the big bed once they got into the room.

When they got in the big bed, Long Xiaoyuan pressed s.h.i.+ Qingzhou on the bed.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou frowned as he felt uncomfortable. Long Xiaoyuan giggled foolishly. “Qingzhou.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was speechless. “Yes?”

Long Xiaoyuan pinched s.h.i.+ Qingzhou’s cheek the way he pinched Stony.

He loved the soft touch.

“Qingzhou, Qingzhou.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou couldn’t help panting. “Let go of me first. Let’s go take a bath. You’re stinking.”

“Okay.” Long Xiaoyuan was quite docile. He went to take a bath with s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou pulled a wry face.

Long Xiaoyuan followed s.h.i.+ Qingzhou to the bathroom, where s.h.i.+ Qingzhou bathed Long Xiaoyuan and himself.

Afterwards, they got back to their room.

When s.h.i.+ Qingzhou thought that Long Xiaoyuan was going to do something, Long Xiaoyuan rubbed against him and fell asleep.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was speechless.

Long Xiaoyuan aroused him, but he fell asleep. s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was cross.

In the end, s.h.i.+ Qingzhou wrapped himself with the blanket and fell asleep.

The next morning, Long Xiaoyuan didn’t get up as usual.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou opened his eyes slightly and then continued to sleep.

When Long Xiaoyuan woke up, it was after breakfast time.

Long Xiaoyuan was surprised when he saw the sky outside. “It’s so late?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou yawned lazily and got up.

Long Xiaoyuan felt a sharp pain in his head when he got up, so he rubbed it.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou turned to Long Xiaoyuan and ma.s.saged his head.

“I told you not to drink, but you didn’t listen to me. Look, now you have a hangover.”

Long Xiaoyuan pouted with grievance.

“Qingzhou, you can’t blame me.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou glanced at him with a faint smile. “Well, I can’t blame you. Then who should I blame?”

Long Xiaoyuan was speechless and didn’t know what to say.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said, “You will feel much better after you drink some tea and have breakfast.”

“Okay.” Long Xiaoyuan nodded. He looked very docile. He looked pitiful as a man.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou sighed helplessly.

At breakfast, Long Xiaoyuan had two bowls of porridge, so did s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.

Long Xiaoyuan had the tea after breakfast.

Long Huan came when Long Xiaoyuan finished drinking the tea.

“Emperor Father, Empress Father, is the baby cute?”

Long Huan ranked as Stony’s junior.

However, Long Huan didn’t want to call the baby Uncle at all, so he always called him baby.

Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou did not say anything.

Long Huan would be the emperor in the future. He didn’t need to call Stony Uncle.

However, it was fun to tease Long Huan on this.

Long Xiaoyuan said, “What baby? Be polite! You have to call him Uncle.”

Long Huan struggled.

“Emperor Father, do I have to call him Uncle? He’s so small. I don’t want to do that.”

“You don’t want to do that?” Long Xiaoyuan said, “Why? No matter how young he is, he is your uncle.”

Long Huan said sullenly, “Oh, I got it.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou stroked Long Huan’s head with a smile.

“Come on. Your Emperor Father is teasing you. You can call him baby, or Stony. It’s fine.”

“Really?” Long Huan’s eyes lit up. “Can I call him Stony?”

“Yes.” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded.

“Great!” Long Huan nodded happily. “I will call him Stony from now on! This name is really nice.”

Long Xiaoyuan pouted. “What’s so nice about a name given by an uneducated man?”

“What did you say?” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan gloomily.

Long Xiaoyuan quickly sat up straight and said seriously. “Of course it’s a nice name. General s.h.i.+ is a very well-educated man, and he gives nice names. Huanhuan, learn more from General s.h.i.+. Your Empress Father is excellent, and he was taught by General s.h.i.+.” Long Xiaoyuan said seriously, and Long Huan took it seriously.

“Emperor Father, I got it. I will definitely do that.”

Long Xiaoyuan was very satisfied with his son’s sensibility. He smiled and nodded. “Good.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou rolled his eyes. He was really worried that Long Xiaoyuan would lead the son astray.

Fortunately, the son had teachers, so there was no need to worry about anything.

After a short conversation, Long Xiaoyuan asked Long Huan to leave.

Although the child was young, it was time for him to take lessons. After all, the burden and responsibility on his shoulders would be heavy.

After the child left, Long Xiaoyuan lay on the lounge chair and asked s.h.i.+ Qingzhou to continue the ma.s.sage.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou ma.s.saged him gently, and he infused his inner power into his head when he was ma.s.saging. Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan felt very comfortable and dozed off. s.h.i.+ Qingzhou did not disturb him.

Long Xiaoyuan fell asleep soon, while s.h.i.+ Qingzhou did not stop ma.s.saging.

After a while, when Long Xiaoyuan was fast asleep, s.h.i.+ Qingzhou stopped.

The files of the day had been sent over. s.h.i.+ Qingzhou had them moved to the study, where he would deal with them. The servants quickly moved the files to the study.

When s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was almost through, Long Xiaoyuan woke up.

He looked sleepy.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was amused when he came out of the study.

“Are you awake or not?”

Long Xiaoyuan yawned, “Do you need to ask? Of course not!”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou walked over and pulled him up from the lounge chair. “Do you like to sleep for a little longer? Skip lunch? ”

“No.” Long Xiaoyuan hurriedly shook his head and touched his stomach, saying pitifully, “I’m hungry.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou burst out laughing.

Long Xiaoyuan paused. Looking at s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, he couldn’t help thinking of the ending in the book.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou killed the Emperor, stained the court with blood, and had many concubines, but he lost his laughter.

Long Xiaoyuan thought that the ending was definitely not as good as it was now.

Even though s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was the Empress instead of the Emperor, he had Long Xiaoyuan’s love.

The sunlight shone on s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, who was laughing, and seemed to have wrapped him with a faint layer of gold.

The golden color dazzled Long Xiaoyuan’s eyes, and he was enchanted by s.h.i.+ Qingzhou…

This was s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, the person he loved.

He was dazzling!
