Chapter 539: Chapter 453: I really don’t want this nickname... Is it okay to anger the Empress Dowager to death?

Shen Chuwei looked up and saw that Xiao Jinyu had an unpleasant look on his face, obviously vexed. When he sat down on the couch, he didn’t even bother to lift the hem of his garment, carelessly letting it be crushed under him.

She noticed that in the Emperor’s vast harem, only Xiao Jinyan and Xiao Jinyu did not inherit the Emperor’s philandering ways; instead, they were exceedingly faithful.

Susu was holding Little White and playing. Seeing the little nephew arrive, she happily ran over and hugged his thigh tightly, "Little Yellow, hug."

The nephew found it difficult to pronounce ’nephew,’ so each time he saw Xiao Jinyu, he directly called him Little Yellow.

Xiao Jinyu was exceptionally kind to his two nephews, so the little treasures were very close to him.

Xiao Jinyu bent down to pick up Susu and corrected her, "Susu, it’s little nephew, not Little Yellow."

Why Susu called him Little Yellow stemmed from the story of a little yellow dog.

Xiao Jinyu always asked the children to call him little nephew, but Susu always called out Little Yellow, which he thought was Emperor.

It wasn’t until he pointed to the dog and told Susu, "This is a little yellow dog."

Susu responded with, "You are also Little Yellow."

Xiao Jinyu: "..."

Susu earnestly repeated, "Little Yellow, Susu."

Xiao Jinyu simply gave up, "I’ll correct you when you’re a bit older."

Xiao Jinyan had actually known for a long time about his younger brother’s intention to marry both Miss Han and Wanxin, a request from the Empress Dowager to the Emperor. Coincidentally, he had the ability to read minds and had found out in advance.

"So, what do you plan to do?"

Xiao Jinyu said indignantly, "Of course I won’t marry Wanxin. I promised Miss Han, I would only marry her. I can’t break my word."

Xiao Jinyan countered, "What if Father insists you marry her?"

"Then I won’t marry her either. If he wants to marry, he can do it himself. Anyway, I won’t do it, nor do I have the good fortune to marry two at once. I can’t handle such a blessing," Xiao Jinyu stated fiercely, as if there was anything crazier than being forced to marry a wife.

Xiao Jinyan’s reply was concise, "Father won’t marry her either."

Xiao Jinyu scoffed, "Doesn’t he have enough women in his palace? There are plenty of women in their teens, one less Wanxin makes no difference."

"Father won’t take any more concubines," Xiao Jinyan said as he looked down at the characters written by his son. He had taught them relatively simple characters, but even so, they were quite difficult for a one-year-old.

Xiao Jinyu sneered, "Father wouldn’t dare to. If I were Mother, I’d make him understand that one can hardly have it both ways."

Xiao Jinyan paused at that, for what did Mother not understand about this principle? It’s just that being in a high position often leaves one with no choice.

Xiao Jinyu sat cross-legged, watching Susu playing with the tassel on his headband, "Brother, I’ve made up my mind. If Father forces me to marry Wanxin, I’ll elope with Miss Han and let him regret it."

Xiao Jinyan looked up at his brother. This aspect was somewhat like their mother; she had thought countless times of escaping the palace and finally made a run for it after the baby had his one-month celebration.

"Running away is not a solution to the problem."

"Don’t I have no other solution? I can only elope, and anyway, Miss Han won’t mind," Xiao Jinyu said with full confidence.

Xiao Jinyan calmly replied, "Engagement makes her a wife, eloping makes her a concubine. Do you want to make Miss Han a concubine?"

Xiao Jinyu was taken aback at these words, because he hadn’t considered this issue. His intent to elope was only to anger his father and to react against his arbitrary decisions.

He certainly wouldn’t let Miss Han become a concubine. If he had wanted her as a concubine, he would have taken her as one long ago and not have waited until now.

"I won’t let Miss Han become a concubine," he said.

Susu cradled Xiao Jinyu’s face in her small hands, calling out, "Little Yellow."

Xiao Jinyu couldn’t help but correct her again, "I’m little nephew, not Little Yellow, Little Yellow is a dog, do you understand?"

Susu tilted her head, pondered for a moment, and said in her baby voice, "Little Yellow... yes, doggie."

Xiao Jinyu felt, no matter how he heard it, Susu was saying he was a dog~

In the following days, Xiao Jinyu would visit the Imperial Study Room every day to pester the Emperor.

"Father, I will not take Wanxin as a concubine; I will only have Miss Han as the principal wife," he said.

The Emperor had been incredibly busy in the past few days, with Xueyue Country causing trouble. He had yet to think of a good strategy, and his son was annoying him daily.

"Marrying one is marrying, and marrying two is also marrying; you’re not at a loss," said the Emperor.

Xiao Jinyu suppressed the urge to flip the petition, "Father, my loss would be huge. If I married two, my chances to accompany Miss Han would decrease, and I’d waste time and energy dealing with another woman. After all, I am a Prince; where would I find the leisure for this?"

Left with no choice, the Emperor looked at his son, seeing him in such a fluster, so much like the Empress indeed.
