Translator: Editor:
The Old Marshal and His Majesty the E hisfroreat deal in life, it was all they could do to refrain fro the uncouth fellow a solid slap across the face for his insolence
There were at least fcking twenty-eight courses and sixteen ed to eat one or two portions of vegetables, how in the world did this child eat all of the rest? How many years has it been since he's eaten a full meal?
”You may eat slowly,” His Majesty the E man who had clearly seen some hard times in his life ”You don’t have to rush,” he continued with a slightly less harsh tone
“Ooh!… it’s okay, ooh, ooh!… Thismumbled with a mouth full of food, his words almost inaudible “Our faest time ever!”
His Majesty stared at the walls while the Old Marshal kept his gaze lowered; both avoiding direct eye contact with Yun Yang They certain that they would slap him if they continued to observe his boorish behavior How fcking old are you now? Haven’t eaten meat for some years? Is your family poor? Don’t you realize thae know you’ve just won a nation’s fortune just days before?
This rascal!
“I beg your pardon, but what about that io?” The Old Marshal had his hackles raised, his suspicions beginning to surface again
“I asked soe bowl of sauce and gulped it down “I haven’t gotten the gold or silver taels from the just yet”
If he wasn’t in his own home, the Old Marshal would have run off with his face in his hands Do you think you’re eating a big pot dish1? Don’t you realize that it’s improper to eat in such a manner?
“Let’s have a few more dishes served!” The Old Marshal’s expression was as dark as it could possibly get
“How scrumptious!”
…
“Looks like it’s just a coincidence”
…
Could this all be just a pretense?
His Majesty the E about, he turned towards the Old Marshal and said, “Old Qiu, about the political affairs of our eh to be able to catch up and keep the ball rolling “Yes, yes, it has been a very difficult time”
“Unrest on the inside and chaos on the outside”
“Indeed…”
“I think His Majesty does not feel at ease with this situation”
“Absolutely agreed”
“A the descendants of His Majesty, which one does Old Qiu think… could bear the grand responsibility?” His Majesty the Emperor asked succinctly
Old Marshal Qiu was struck a sudden blow by the unexpected question, alhtened off his seat
Why the fck are you bringing this up now? Your identity is being kept a secret, but I know that you’re the Emperor How am I supposed to answer your question?
It was a dead-end road; bound to be incorrect either way The Old Marshal’s forehead was dotted with sweat
His Majesty laughed and redirected his question to Yun Yang, “Nephew from Yun Family, do you know the princes of His Majesty? Let us hear your opinion on them!”
The Old Marshal wiped off the sweat beaded on his forehead, visibly relieved to be let off the hook
Of course, the question is meant to test this cretin Have pity, your father, with his slow mind, almost ruined it all As an Emperor of the dynasty, it would never be an officials’ place to give any advice regarding this question Any suggestion, logical or otherwise, would still be deemed inappropriate
His Majesty’s sudden attack was not only targeted towards Yun Yang but was also meant to test the Old Marshal’s mettle The Emperor seemed pleased with the Old Marshal’s perfor heard the question, he could not help but scratch his head and replied, “His Majesty the erossly before continuing, “Noto do with me This nephew is incompetent, I will never be an official If I make a small fortune every now and then, I’m certain it won’t offend the Emperor… so…”
“I don’t really care who takes the throne”
Yun Yang spoke in an indolent tone, “Whoever the fck feels like being an eo ahead and be one!”
Slap!
The Old Marshal could no longer tolerate the young man’s insolence and slapped his face into a dish of fish soup on the table How dare the little rascal speak like this! The corners of His Majesty’s lips twitched in horrified amusement as well This little rascal was incredibly tactless
They then probed hi’s innocent and utterlythat he was a good-for-nothing popinjay Both His Majesty the Emperor and Old Marshal Qiu were helpless; both of theht thea hint of the enormous force that was the Nine Supremes’ subordinates It was also partially due to their curiosity regarding Marquis Yun’s son
However, it seeood to be true This felloould never have anything to do with the Nine Heavens Dictum
It was impossible that the Nine Heavens Dictu about this, both His Majesty and the Old Marshal lost their interest all at once It was such a terrible waste that both of them had invited him over so cordially and had everyone retreat in preparation to hear secrets being told
By the look of things now, they had gotten nothing out of this whole endeavor other than frustration!
Exchanging disappointed looks, His Majesty stood up first “Marshal, I suddenly recall so that needs my attention elsewhere” His Majesty was indeed a certified cha able to conjure undone chores in thebut of course, he did not care how others viewed hi Master Yun
It was already an incredible opportunity for this young man to be able to sneak a peek at the Eain, in future
“Then, Brother Yu you must, of course, take your leave”
The Old Marshal naturally kne to respond appropriately and stood up politely Inwardly, he felt a keen sense of abandonment “You’re the Emperor, the most powerful individual here! How could you just leavestood up in surprise as well “Uncle Yu is leaving already?”
“Yes, I a man, continue to learn more from the Old Marshal”
With that, His Majesty the E in his haste to be away
He was afraid his patience would cru fellow Besides, he had barely eaten throughout the meal I will have to find some food once I reach the palace!
…
Without outsiders anywhere, the Old Marshal’s expression turned sour
“Yun Yang, have you eaten your fill?” Of course, the Old Marshal fully intended to send hireed that he was full
