Chapter 472: Chapter 412: Huge Misunderstanding, Sacrificing Son for Happiness_2

The Emperor said, "Of course, it’s because of Lingling. She’s ignoring me, leaving me restless night and day."

The Empress immediately retorted, "I did not, I have treated Your Majesty with sufficient respect."

The Emperor sighed, "Lingling, turn your head towards me."

Upon hearing this, the Empress hesitated for a good while before finally turning her head to look behind her, asking in confusion, "What is Your Majesty doing?"

The Emperor looked at the Empress’s face, unadorned with makeup, which, though not as striking as when she was in her teens, was still pleasing to the eye.

He leaned in, and his kiss landed on her lips.

The Empress stiffened, staring dumbfounded at the vast shadow in front of her.

The Emperor took the opportunity to kiss her, gripping her wrist tightly.

The Empress, having recoiled to her senses, cursed silently, ’Damn Emperor, always taking advantage of her.’

After the kiss, the Emperor was left somewhat unsatisfied.

The Empress, with a cold face, turned away, paying no further attention to the damned Emperor. She wouldn’t believe him again if he asked her to turn around.

The Emperor’s request wasn’t excessive; he simply wanted a good night’s sleep tonight.

The next morning

No sooner had Shen Chuwei finished her morning meal than someone sent by the Empress arrived, and she was astonished by the Empress’s lightning speed.

The two little ones were still playing joyously with Xuetuan.

After a brief tidy-up, a grand procession set off towards Fengyi Palace.

Shen Chuwei marveled, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict has always been the greatest conundrum in history.

Distance creates enchantment.

But she had yet to experience the effect of suddenly closing that gap and didn’t know what to expect.

Upon arrival at Fengyi Palace, she found that the Empress had already arranged everything.

The Empress’s bedchamber was vast, divided in the middle by thick curtains. On the other side, a bed was placed, along with a smaller one.

In truth, there were other rooms in Fengyi Palace, but the Empress felt they were a bit too distant; living next door would be better.

Shen Chuwei looked at the curtain, barely half a centimeter thick—this ’distance’ seemed too close for comfort.

While holding Susu, the Empress asked Shen Chuwei, "Do you like this bed?"

Shen Chuwei nodded, "This servant likes it very much, it’s also quite large."

The Empress cheerfully responded, "Then settle in with peace of mind for a few days, don’t worry about anything else."

Shen Chuwei nodded, resigning to the situation, as there was no alternative for now.

The Empress suddenly suggested, "How about we have hot pot for lunch?"

At the mention of hot pot, Shen Chuwei’s mouth watered uncontrollably, "Yes, I’ve been wanting to eat it for a long time, I’m craving it."

They were in complete agreement, and the Empress had Chun Xi and Qing Ying prepare the ingredients.

The Empress and Shen Chuwei kept the two little ones entertained.

Upon returning to Yangxin Hall, the Emperor asked Eunuch Li, "Has the Empress visited?"

Eunuch Li replied, "Your Majesty, the Empress has not come."

The Emperor frowned, "She didn’t send someone to get my clothes?"

Eunuch Li, utterly confused, shook his head, "She did not."

The Emperor, puzzled, made his way to Fengyi Palace.

As soon as he set foot in Fengyi Palace, he heard Susu’s laughter.

"Susu is in the Empress’s palace?"

Walking into Fengyi Palace with his curiosity piqued, he saw the Empress holding Susu, who was grinning with delight.

Seeing this scene, the Emperor suddenly remembered how the Empress used to hold Yuyu at this age.

In the blink of an eye, more than a decade had passed, and time had flown by quicker than he had realized.

"The Crown Princess came to play with the babies."

Seeing the Emperor, Shen Chuwei hurriedly stepped forward and curtsied, "Father Emperor."

The Emperor waved her to rise, stepping forward to the Empress, touching Susu in her arms, and taking the small hand into his, he asked with a smiling face, "Does Susu miss Grand Emperor?"

Susu looked at Grand Emperor, excitedly waving her hands and feet, babbling, "Papa～"

"Papa?" The Emperor, confused, corrected, "It’s Grand Emperor."

Susu repeated, "Papa..."

The Emperor persisted patiently, "Grand Emperor, not Papa, Grand-Em-per-or, do you understand?"

Susu tilted her head and looked towards Shen Chuwei, "Mama..."

The Emperor continued patiently, "Not Mama, it’s Grand Emperor."

Shen Chuwei kindly reminded, "Father Emperor, ’Papa’ means father king, ’Mama’ means mother consort."

"So that’s what it means." The Emperor became even more excited.

"Call me Grand Emperor."

Susu blinked her beautiful big eyes, "Hug..."

The Emperor finally heard something he liked and happily said to the Empress, "Empress, look, Susu wants a hug from me, hand her over."

How could the Empress dare to refuse?

The Emperor happily got to hold Susu and began to make her laugh.

The Empress took Taotao from Shen Chuwei’s arms and admonished, "Crown Princess, go try the bed to see if it’s soft enough."

"Sure thing." Shen Chuwei turned and went to the next room to check the bed.

The Emperor curiously watched Shen Chuwei’s action and discovered a bed behind the curtain. He looked questioningly at the Empress, "Why is there an extra bed in the bedchamber? We’re an old couple by now, surely we’re not sleeping separately? "

The Empress couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the daft Emperor, "That’s for the Crown Princess. This servant plans to have the Crown Princess stay with me for a few days."

The Emperor, upon hearing this, pursued further, "Then why were you clearing out the wardrobe?"

The Empress answered as a matter of fact, "Of course, to make room for the Crown Princess’s and the babies’ clothes."

The Emperor was dumbstruck; so the diligent transportation of his clothes the previous night wasn’t because the Empress wanted to put them inside.

The Empress was not in a good mood because of him but because the Crown Princess and the babies were coming to stay at Fengyi Palace temporarily!

In short, the Empress had no place for him in her heart!

The Emperor, holding Susu, looked down at her with a feeling of grievance, whispering, "Your Imperial Granny doesn’t want Grand Emperor anymore."

Susu, lifting her tiny head, looked at Grand Emperor, not understanding what he was thinking.

"Papa... Papa..."

Papa means father king.

The Emperor immediately thought of a solution and, after having held Susu enough, returned to the Imperial Study Room.

If Taotao could speak, she would have surely reminded him on his departure, "Grand Emperor, you haven’t held your grandson."

On his way, the Emperor ordered someone to call the Crown Prince to the Imperial Study Room.

Xiao Jinyan, who happened to have matters to discuss with the Emperor, followed Eunuch Li’s call to the Imperial Study Room with a brisk stride.

The Emperor pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are husband and wife; where is there reason for them to be apart? Crown Prince, think of a way to bring her back with you."
