Chapter 1152: I No Longer Wish to Have Children With Anyone Else
The palace attendants did not expect the Emperor to personally inquire.The eunuch quickly bowed his head and ran to Long Xiyuan’s side.
"Your Majesty, Miss Jing...seems unwilling."
Fearing that Long Xiyuan might blame him for incompetence, he hurriedly distanced himself from the matter.
Bai Zhi’er pursed her lips: "Before making a decision, you should consult me and ask about my wishes!"
Long Xiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "How could I have known you’re so prideful, unwilling to even be my only adopted daughter!"
"If it were someone else, they would have eagerly accepted the decree with gratitude long ago."
Bai Zhi’er snorted: "Then give this good fortune to someone else."
Long Xiyuan did not expect her to be so decisive, and was somewhat choked by her tone.
He flung his sleeve and said coldly: "I won’t give it to anyone else!"
Bai Zhi’er couldn’t help but laugh.
Without Fu Xiru’s guidance, Long Xiyuan has become even more headstrong and domineering.
The Chief Eunuch saw that the Emperor and Miss Jing had words to say privately, so he beckoned the others to leave.
However, unexpectedly, Feng Fuce, Bai Xingye, and Guoguo stood not far behind Bai Zhi’er, refusing to budge.
Even though the Chief Eunuch was constantly making faces and signaling them, they pretended not to see.
Helpless, the Chief Eunuch could only step forward and pat Bai Xingye’s arm.
Yet, he was met with a cold glance from Bai Xingye.
This menacing look seemed as if someone was trying to steal his precious treasure.
Feng Fuce turned his gaze and warned in a low voice: "Don’t come looking for trouble."
The Chief Eunuch felt a chill on his back from being stared at by those eyes!
Seeing the three of them follow Miss Jing like three Evil Gods, he dared not urge them further.
He could only lead the idle crowd to retreat.
Bai Zhi’er felt it was rude to speak in the courtyard, so she invited Long Xiyuan indoors.
"How do you know you won’t have offspring in the future?" Bai Zhi’er quickly asked the question she was most concerned about.
Because she had just sneakily examined Long Xiyuan’s features.
Previously, she hadn’t noticed, but upon careful examination now, she found his offspring palace slightly sunken.
This indicated difficulty in having heirs, perhaps even none.
But for a proud Emperor with countless concubines, how could he have no children?
Long Xiyuan’s once carefree expression darkened slightly upon hearing the question.
He merely chuckled self-deprecatingly: "After Xiru left, I don’t wish to have children with anyone else."
Guoguo was astonished: "But you’re the Emperor, without children, what will happen in the future?"
Long Xiyuan seemed unconcerned, leaning against the chair, arms crossed casually: "Within the Imperial family, there are many outstanding children. I can select a suitable heir before I pass."
"They’re merely tools to uphold this nation, but only you, Zhi’er, I’m sincerely wanting to make my adopted daughter."
Bai Zhi’er raised her brows: "Why can’t we be siblings?"
Long Xiyuan was momentarily speechless, his face darkened: "I’ve thought about it, but as siblings, I’m quite older than you, it feels awkward."
Bai Zhi’er pondered for a moment, it seems to be the case.
Long Xiyuan is about the same age as her third uncle.
"By becoming my adopted daughter, I can draft a decree in advance ensuring your interests, it’s all gain and no loss, what are you hesitating for?"
Long Xiyuan looked at Bai Zhi’er, raising his eyebrows inquisitively.
Bai Zhi’er blinked her serene eyes, and honestly said: "I just don’t particularly care for these things."
