Emperor Wu realized that both his father and son were geniuses, making him the only idiot in between.
He almost wanted to cry.
That was why he had indulged Jun Linyuan all these years. He was only holding the throne for him.
What a sad story. Emperor Wu waved off the old memories. At least his son was indeed a genius, proving his own wise father correct.
“Keep moving!” He glanced at Gao and Qin Yan.
Everyone had gathered in the central square.
It was almost impossible for Emperor Wu to get through. Of course, if Qin Yan were to force his way in, no one would be able to stop them.
But Emperor Wu wouldn’t let him.
“It’s New Year’s Eve. Let them enjoy tonight,” said Emperor Wu.
A young man saw them and asked curiously, “Are you here for the lucky draw as well?”
Emperor Wu asked, “What lucky draw?”
The young man known as Chen said excitedly, “Don’t you know? Northern Feng Mansion is giving out gifts today! Join the queue!”
Qin Yan wanted to punish the man for talking to the emperor that way, but Chen had already dragged Emperor Wu into the queue.
Seeing that the emperor was glad to join the game, Qin Yan didn’t object. He and Gao stayed right next to Emperor Wu on either side, protecting the most important figure of the empire.
Chen had no idea that he had narrowly escaped death.
“I guess you have no idea that it’s the birthdays of two people today,” said Chen. “One is the sacred lady of Firmament Palace, and the other is the useless daughter of the Feng family.”
Emperor Wu said, “You’re quite well-informed, aren’t you?”
Chen said, “Of course! I subscribe to Capital Gossip, and it has everything! By the way, do you know who Miss Qingluan and Miss Feng Wu are?”
Emperor Wu wanted to say no, but seeing how talkative the young man was, he nodded. “I’ve heard those names.”
Chen said, “In that case, I won’t go into detail. In short, they have the same birthday and are competing for the same man — our crown prince. How exciting is that?!
“Everyone thought that His Royal Highness would be celebrating Miss Qingluan’s birthday, but as it turns out, he did something else! Do you know what he did?”
Emperor Wu pointed at the words in the sky that hadn’t dissipated yet.
Chen said, “That’s right! It sounds like they’re perfect for each other, doesn’t it? I’ve been their supporter from the very beginning!”
Emperor Wu wanted to laugh, but he only nodded and listened to the young man.
Chen said, “That is to say, these gifts are from His Royal Highness! They’re his way to express his feelings for Miss Feng Wu! Isn’t it exciting?!”
Emperor Wu said, “Yes, of course.”
Chen said, “His Royal Highness is so generous! The total value of these gifts is 100 million coins! I don’t think there’s that much cash in His Majesty’s treasury!”
