Chapter 362: Extra 18: The Underworld

Then he thought that Dingning was going to be the emperor soon, so it seemed that it was nothing.

Emperor Jingwen took a deep, deep breath.

Dingning kept her word, and once she had this idea, it would soon come to fruition.

Watching her grow up from a little child to now, and about to get married and have children, the prince and others felt very complicated for a while.

“Time flies so fast…” The prince couldn’t help but sigh.

Everyone was in a trance, and realised that decades had passed in the blink of an eye.

They witnessed Dingning’s wedding ceremony from beginning to end, and then looked at Xiaojiu sitting in front of the hall. They didn’t know when they were no longer young, and the corners of their eyes and eyebrows had added some fine lines with the passage of time. Looking at their very young selves, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought of one thing-

it is known that after death, when you become a ghost, you will always remain in the state of your life. If you die at a certain age, you will become a ghost at that age. Doesn’t this mean that if Xiaojiu and his friends live long enough, when their souls return to the underworld one day, they will probably be older than their father?

Emperor Taicheng couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly, with great interest.

The little emperor smacked his lips, wow, the grandfather version of the Ninth Uncle? It sounds good.

As for Emperor Jingwen, he couldn’t help but show his disdain, who would want a son older than himself?

The scene over there continued –

after the wedding ceremony, in just two or three months, Dingning became pregnant smoothly as planned at the beginning. It can only be said that fortunately Xiaojiu was in good health and lived long enough to easily survive Dingning’s delivery period. If any of these were missing, he would not be able to do what he wanted to do. After all, even if the whole court agreed to the princess’s ascension to the throne, they would never allow a princess without an heir to ascend the throne. Otherwise, if the princess encountered an accident later, it would be a disaster for the country.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the child in Dingning’s belly is very important. If the child is born smoothly and the mother and child are safe, it will be fine. If there is any problem in the middle, everything will be over, and all Xiaojiu’s previous efforts will also fail.

The prince saw this and couldn’t help but sweat for Xiaojiu.

The Emperor Jingwen, who also saw the scene, snorted coldly: “Even if there was an accident, it was all his own fault. He deserved it.”

Although he said so, he didn’t even blink when he looked at the screen again, and his fingers kept twisting. Obviously, his mood was not as calm as he showed.

Everyone has long been accustomed to his father’s duplicity.

As everyone expected, since the news of Dingning’s pregnancy spread, she soon encountered waves of assassinations. At the same time, the list that Xiaojiu recorded behind his back became clearer and clearer.

Unlike the vague state before, Xiaojiu’s tendency is now obvious enough. Anyone who is not a fool can almost see it. Then those who have different intentions gradually surfaced.

Even if a person is calm, facing the current situation, I am afraid that he can’t sit still.

When seeing that there were several important figures in Xiaojiu’s records who could not be easily touched, Emperor Taicheng could not help but frown, wondering how Xiaojiu would deal with these people. Unlike those small shrimps before, if these few people were not handled properly, they would probably cause a disaster.

Just when Emperor Taicheng was distracted thinking about these things, the entire princess’s mansion had been quietly guarded by the secret guards. During the period, no one was alarmed, but the princess’s mansion was surrounded like an iron barrel. The leader was Wu Yi’s disciple, the current leader of the secret guards. Such a lineup is luxurious.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn’t help but twitch their mouths. How could they forget Xiaojiu’s amazing desire for control? It would be strange if he didn’t do something at this time. �

But they didn’t expect that Xiaojiu would not only treat them like this, but also his own children. There was no change at all in all these years. It can be seen that some of a person’s personality is engraved in their bones, and I’m afraid it can’t be changed in this life.

So, without realizing it, Dingning and the others worked together and finally made it to the last moment. Even if Xiaojiu was very capable, he could not do anything under such circumstances.

It was about a woman’s childbirth, even if the other party was his own daughter, Xiaojiu could only watch helplessly.

Just when everyone thought that he should be quiet for a while this time, they saw Xiaojiu pacing around the hall for a long time in the picture, with messy steps. It was obvious that he was not calm at the moment. Then, Xiaojiu seemed to have thought of something, took a deep breath, lifted his robe, and strode out of the hall door.

…No way, can he even think of a good way to do this?

When everyone was hesitating, they saw Xiaojiu walking quickly towards…the Hall of Supreme Harmony?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Everyone: “…”

I understand, this is really because there is no way out, so he came to pray to the gods.

Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but snorted coldly: “For all the things he did, it would be strange if the ancestors could bless him. He really has no idea at all.”

However, Xiaojiu is so anxious now, they don’t believe that their father is not moved at all.

After all, that is the youngest son that their father holds in his heart!

The eyes of the prince and others can’t help but shift to the face of Emperor Jingwen, causing Emperor Jingwen’s face to twitch for a while. Guessing what the prince and others were thinking, he immediately said: “Impossible, don’t think about it!”

Impossible is impossible, he will absolutely not agree to this!

Seeing that his father’s attitude is still firm, although the prince and others don’t quite believe it, they still set their eyes on Emperor Taicheng again.

The tablets of the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty are enshrined in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. People like them are not qualified to enter at all. Among all the people present, only the tablets of the father and the sixth brother were placed there. Xiaojiu can also ask for help.

There were only the two of them.

The ignored little emperor was hesitant to speak, although, please don’t ignore him so naturally!

However, the little emperor didn’t think that the Ninth Emperor’s uncle would remember him at this time. After all, more than 20 years have passed. He, who has only been the emperor for a year, has been forgotten by others…

Especially since the Ninth Emperor’s uncle is his elder, it is even more impossible for him to ask for help from his nephew. Even if the palace servants and eunuchs go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to sweep the floor on weekdays, they often forget his existence in the corner.

The little emperor suddenly felt a little discouraged when thinking about this.

Emperor Taicheng, who did not notice his son’s abnormality, didn’t want to care about this at all. His own family affairs were a mess, so how could he have time to worry about others?

Xiaojiu had already walked in front of a group of tablets and called the palace servants to ask for a lot of tributes and incense. Xiaojiu’s eyes first swept through the highest tablets one by one. Perhaps he felt that he was not familiar with them at all, so his eyes quickly moved down and then fell on the tablet he was most familiar with.

When Emperor Jingwen saw that the first person he looked at was him, his heart moved, but he snorted coldly.

Before Emperor Jingwen could speak, he heard him say: “Forget it, if my father knew what I was going to do, he would jump out of the imperial mausoleum.”

He was quite self-aware!

Emperor Jingwen almost laughed out of anger.

In the picture, Xiaojiu shook his head, and then looked at Emperor Taicheng. Emperor Taicheng had never known that Xiaojiu had such deep feelings for him before. Even he couldn’t help but be moved at this moment.

Then, everyone watched Xiaojiu insert the incense stick in his hand into… the incense burner belonging to Xiao Yejin under Emperor Taicheng’s tablet.

Emperor Jingwen: “…”

Emperor Taicheng: “…”

Ah, everyone thought it was wrong…

Noticing that the little emperor’s eyes suddenly lit up, the prince leaned back in his chair and smiled: “As expected of Xiaojiu, you haven’t changed at all.”

This kind of thing, only Xiaojiu can do.

The fourth prince also said, “It seems that Xiaojiu knows you well.”

Knowing that even if there are gods and monsters in the world, his father and the sixth prince will not sincerely bless him, he simply found another way and found Xiao Yejin. And looking at Xiao Yejin’s appearance, he is naturally very happy.

The expressions of Emperor Jingwen and Emperor Taicheng suddenly looked bad.

The little emperor didn’t care about that at all. Seeing that the ninth uncle had never forgotten him, he only asked for his help when something happened. Although he didn’t know whether it would work, he still closed his eyes and put his hands together to pray. That look, even ten Jingwen emperors and Taicheng emperors combined, would not be as sincere as him.

Seeing that Xiaojiu put all the tributes in front of the small tablet in the picture, a lot of gold and silver treasures appeared around Xiao Yejin in a short while.

Looking at the piles of shiny gold ingots and various dishes and cakes, the prince and others were silent.

Suddenly, the youngest child among them became the richest one among all of them.

And it is not known whether it was the prayers of the little emperor that worked, or because Dingning herself inherited his parents’ genes, Dingning’s first child finally came to the world smoothly.

Perhaps it was because the child was born under his own blessing, the little emperor simply liked it more and more. By the way, this should be his first nephew, right? So now he is finally an elder.

Fortunately, the prince and others did not know what the little emperor was thinking. If they knew, they would probably say that they are really grandfather and grandson, and their double standards are exactly the same. In the eyes of the father, the sons after Xiaojiu are not considered sons, and in the mind of Xiao Yejin, other sons and nephews are not considered sons and nephews. The two are simply amazing!

Watching Xiaojiu holding the little baby girl in his arms and giving her the surname “Ye” under the witness of civil and military officials, no matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart, Emperor Jingwen’s face was better than before.

Many years passed like this, and then An Ning and Yong Ning also got married one after another. Seeing that there were more and more children in the palace, they were also competing for the position of heir, but Xiao Jiu never encountered the cruel scene of siblings killing each other from beginning to end, let alone worrying about the position under his buttocks being coveted by others. From this point of view, the gap between the princess and the prince is not small.

Seeing that the three princesses Ding Ning, An Ning and Yong Ning always defended that line no matter how fiercely they fought, Emperor Jingwen and others couldn’t help but feel complicated.

Looking at Xiao Jiu, who was becoming more and more free and stable, Emperor Jingwen and others looked indifferent. Although Xiao Jiu always did things so out of the ordinary, judging from the results, he was indeed the best among all of them, even in the later years of Emperor Jingwen, there was no comparison.

Just when the prince and others were feeling emotional, the seventh prince rebelled.

Everyone
