36, Chapter 36(1/2)
However, it was inconvenient to talk while sitting in the corner. Although Ino was reluctant, he still got up and sat across from the desk.
The emperor frowned, but said nothing. He got straight to the point and said, "Yue Chuanlin just came to propose marriage to Yue Zhan. I heard that you want to marry Yue Zhan?"
"It's an engagement." Ino emphasized sadly.
"Oh." The emperor didn't take it seriously.
Now that we have children, isn’t getting engaged the same as getting married?
He looked at Ino again and asked for confirmation: "Are you pregnant?"
Ino: "..." Don't mention this sad thing again. His little fish treasure is gone, gone!
Wow, it’s all the author’s fault! Since there wasn’t one in the beginning, why did you write to him? He has already bought small clothes for the baby...
If the person who asked this question was not the emperor, he would really like to express his anger, but... the other person is the emperor after all.
He glanced at the other person quickly, then lowered his head and said in a weak tone: "Not pregnant."
Not pregnant? The emperor was suspicious. He had clearly heard that... this kid even bought baby products recently.
But, forget it, it's not his biological son after all, so why does he care so much? As long as the other party is willing to marry Yue Zhan and win over the royal family to live in the Yue family, that's all.
Thinking of this, the emperor coughed lightly and said seriously: "Whether you are pregnant or not, the engagement must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. I will ask Lucien to help you arrange it later."
Lucian is the palace internal affairs officer, so letting him take charge of the engagement means that it will be a grand affair.
But after hearing this, Ino said in a low voice: "I don't want to get engaged."
The emperor choked and immediately said angrily: "Nonsense, if you didn't want to get engaged, what would you have done? Is this still your business alone?"
Among the high-ranking officials and nobles in the Imperial City, who doesn’t know that you two are together?
If it weren't for the egg in his arms, the emperor might have been so angry that he stood up.
Ino looked up at him, pursed her lips tightly, and said nothing.
When the emperor saw this, he became even more angry and asked in a deep voice: "Why don't you want to get engaged? Are you bullying you?"
Although he didn't care about the children, he also knew that this cheap son had no abilities and was not in good health.
In his impression, Ino was weak and unable to take care of himself. After thinking about it, he could only be bullied.
As soon as Yue Zhan walked to the door of the emperor's office, he vaguely heard the words "no engagement", and his heart suddenly sank again.
His eyes darkened, and he said to the secretary who stopped him: "Please tell me, I have a few words to say to the young prince."
The secretary nodded and dialed the emperor's internal line.
Soon, he hung up the phone, opened the door for Yue Zhan, and said, "The younger general, please."
After crossing the stack and entering, he first glanced at Ino, who had a straight back, and then saluted the emperor.
When Ino heard his voice, his back suddenly stiffened.
Oops, the jumper is coming.
If the other party already knows that he is not pregnant with a baby, will he think that he is a liar who cheats on food, drink, sex, and marriage?
After all, he asked the other party to grill fish, stew soup, install the fetus, and massage him for the purpose of being pregnant, but it turned out that he was not pregnant at all. No matter how you look at it, he has no reason to do this.
Moreover, Yue Zhan wanted to get engaged to him because of the child, right? When Huang Xing proposed, the other party said that he wanted to get married because he had a child...
Thinking of this, Ino's already bad mood suddenly worsened.
Look what he has been doing these days. He was fooled by a book. He is just a little mentally retarded, ugh~
In the room, the emperor's expression had softened a lot, but when he spoke, his tone was still unhappy, saying: "Yue Zhan, you came just in time. Ino just said he didn't want to get engaged. Did you bully him?"
Although Ino was just a cheap son to him, he was still his biological son in name. He wanted to win over the Yue family through marriage, but he didn't want to sell his son. If Yue family dared to bully the prince before he got married,
Doesn’t it mean that we don’t take him as the emperor seriously?
Yue Zhan was not a reckless man who only knew how to fight and did not know how to read people's words. He naturally understood the meaning behind the emperor's words.
But at the moment, he was more worried about the little prince's condition, and just wanted to take Ino away as soon as possible and ask questions.
So, he simply admitted and said: "I have neglected His Highness recently, which caused His Highness to have some misunderstandings about me. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will explain and apologize to Your Highness. The engagement... please continue as usual."
After hearing this, Ino finally turned to look at him for the first time after he entered the office, with surprise in his eyes.
The emperor was very satisfied with Yue Zhan's attitude. The displeasure in his eyes disappeared and he waved his hand: "Since it is a misunderstanding, then explain it clearly. Ino is a prince, and sometimes he may have a little temper. This is the result of his mother's pampering.
It’s not a big problem, you should take more care of it.”
Ino cursed in his heart: Are you qualified to say this? Just make it up, you don’t understand me at all.
After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at him and continued to preach: "You too, Ino, when a young couple is in love, don't always talk about breaking up, and you must understand each other."
After speaking, he waved his hand and let the two of them leave.
After the door of the office was closed, the emperor touched the eggs in his arms again and sighed: "I don't worry about any of them. If you can break out of the shell and grow up to be so big, you will be more obedient and obedient than that kid, right?"
"
Ino and Yue Zhan left the office one after the other. Outside, he still lowered his head and was in a low mood, and did not dare to look at Yue Zhan.
This was not the place to talk, so Yue Zhan took his hand and walked forward, twisting and turning, and finally arrived in front of Ino's dormitory.
Ino was surprised and said, "How did you know I live here?"
Yue Zhan lowered his head, trimmed his hair, smiled softly, and said, "When I was a child, I played with His Highness here, fluttering butterflies, and wielding a small sword."
"Ah?" Ino was very surprised.
He had no impression at all.
Yuezhan shook his head and said, "Your Highness had just learned to walk at that time and couldn't speak clearly. He must not remember."
Yue Zhan was only eleven or twelve years old at the time. He came to the palace with his mother for the first time, but accidentally lost his way. He was very frightened and frightened. Then, a cute little Yuxue dumpling came out of the flowers and jumped.
onto his lap.
Immediately afterwards, someone shouted "Your Highness" from behind...
Yue Zhan thought he had forgotten such a long memory, but when he revisited his old place and came here again, the picture in his mind suddenly became clear.
Thinking of this, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curve. It turned out that his fate with His Highness had already begun.
However, Ino was dumbfounded after hearing this, thinking——
[Didn’t I still wear crotchless pants at that time?]
Yue Zhan: "..."
What a little thing that can ruin the scenery.
Yue Zhan took his hand and walked directly to the door of the palace and asked: "Your Highness, can you invite me in to sit down?"
Ino hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and asked him to come in.
The two sat down on the sofa in the living room. The servant came forward to pour them tea and quickly left.
Yuezhan held the tea, considered it for a moment, and asked: "Why does Your Highness suddenly not want to get engaged? Is... is he angry about the pregnancy?"
Ino has done countless psychological constructions along the way, but when he heard him mention it, he still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He turned his head and said in a low voice: "You already know this, and you still come to laugh at me."
He knew that he drank Yue Zhan's fish soup and Yue's mother's chicken soup, but he was not pregnant at all. He was so stupid and wanted to cry after being deceived by a fake book.
Yue Zhan thought to himself, how could it be ridicule? It was too late for him to be happy. If the little prince was not pregnant, it would be hard to talk about the engagement. But the good thing was that the little prince was indeed pregnant. It was not in vain that he was so happy during the pregnancy.
……cough.
He coughed lightly and said: "Although the baby was not born at the beginning, but was conceived during the abortion..."
Ino: "???"
"What did you say? What happened during the abortion?" he asked in shock.
Yue Zhan: "..."
He hesitated for a moment and repeated: "I was pregnant with the baby during the intubation."
Ino: "What was conceived during the abortion?"
Yue Zhan hesitated: "Baby."
"Pregnant...baby?" Ino was surprised and unsure.
He was afraid of being deceived. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but confirm and asked: "Are you sure it's me who is pregnant with the baby?"
"Yes." Yue Zhan nodded and said in confusion: "Didn't I tell His Highness on the phone before? I wasn't pregnant at Blue Star, but... I was pregnant at Desolate Star."
How could Ino bother to listen at that time? When he heard the word "not pregnant", he hung up the phone.
Holding the tea cup, he sat blankly for a long time, and suddenly said with a surprised look on his face: "So, the little fish treasure is still there?"
"Xiao Yubao?"
Yue Zhan thought about it twice in his mind and thought to himself, is this the nickname the little prince gave their child?
A bit...cute, as cute as the little prince. In his heart, the little prince is also a little fish treasure.
"Of course." He nodded and said, "The doctor showed me the test results. All the indicators are normal. The baby should be healthy too."
To be continued...
