Chapter 1136 - 1132: Regent, Dare to Sit Improperly and See What Happens
Chapter 1136: Chapter 1132: Regent, Dare to Sit Improperly and See What Happens
“Didn’t your mother tell you, she hasn’t gotten slim because she’s been imprisoned, but because she’s managing her figure?” Chu Yihan glanced at him coldly.
Chu Jinling’s face immediately showed the guilt of being found out, “She did mention it, and recently… she has been consistently applying the mud mask Auntie developed.”
Her complexion didn’t look anything like that of a forty-year-old woman.
He thought his mother was even more beautiful than a girl of seventeen or eighteen!
But dare he say that?
The more carefree his mother lived, the less anxious his imperial uncle would be to release him!
Just today, he had suggested a scheme to his mother, “Mother, for the time being, don’t care too much about your appearance, eat less, lose more weight, stay up late, make yourself look disheveled and miserable. If the imperial uncle sees you too pitiful, he surely won’t have the heart to keep imprisoning you.”
Noble Consort Xiao was immediately enraged, “How could this be possible! Her Majesty’s face has never suffered in this life! Let Chu Yihan lock me up however he wishes! I cannot be without my beauty!”
Life could be dull, her dwelling could be the Cold Palace, but no matter what, she needed to be a delicate woman at all times.
Once beautiful, always beautiful!
That was his mother’s profound principle.
Unable to persuade her, he could only reluctantly come before his imperial uncle to make up some ridiculous lies.
And now, caught in the act.
Chu Yihan really was a three-second imperial uncle.
Too quick-witted, too sharp-eyed, just too fast.
“If you want me to release your mother, it’s not impossible, but there is one thing, I haven’t yet found anyone to undertake it. If someone could complete it well, I wouldn’t mind granting him a favor,” he said.
As Chu Yihan spoke, he took out a piece of paper with several names he had written, “You see, which person do you think is better for me to choose?”
Chu Jinling shivered, “Is there even need to choose?”
He snatched the paper away, crumpled it up, and threw it to the side, “I’m right here! At the emperor’s command, Jinling will obey any order.”
“You won’t do, this matter is extremely important, and the time frame is uncertain, it will be very hard,” Chu Yihan said as he took out another piece of paper, preparing to write names.
“Imperial uncle, I can do it! I absolutely can! Look, my literary talent is decent, ha, and in terms of martial arts, I’m not likely to embarrass you. What’s more, I have Sisi! Sisi is now a great general, even if we need to fight a war, with Sisi by my side, we can blow up the enemy’s base! If I’m really not up to it… General Su Hao is Sisi’s master, we can also ask the master for help. Imperial uncle, I have a powerful team here, I’m really pretty good!”
Chu Jinling leaned on the imperial table, his eyes brimming with sincerity, like a giant dog let out of a cage, ready to charge into battle at any moment.
Chu Yihan was still not too convinced, “Your abilities…”
“Imperial uncle, I truly can!”
Chu Jinling suddenly knelt with a thump, “Imperial uncle, if you really don’t believe me, I’m willing to prove it right now!”
“Alright.”
Seeing his sincerity, Chu Yihan agreed.
He picked up Chu Jinling by the collar and plonked him onto the dragon throne, allowing him to touch the brush.
Chu Jinling suddenly felt that the brush was a bit too hot to handle.
He rolled his eyes, “Imperial uncle, isn’t sitting on the dragon throne without authorization a capital offense, punishable by beheading?”
He was still so young.
“Unauthorized sitting is punishable, but if I allow you to oversee the country, it’s no crime,” Chu Yihan said as he took off the dragon robe, revealing an intricately embroidered deep blue robe underneath that accentuated his noble stature and extraordinary aura.
Shedding the Emperor’s majesty, he looked like a handsome and wealthy young master.
Chu Jinling exclaimed, “Imperial uncle, you really never age, do you? How can you still look this good at your age?”
