Chapter 281 "Secrets of the Golden Court"
After listening to Xiao Sizhe's explanation, Emperor Yuxuan's face was as gloomy as a donkey's face, and his appearance was intimidating. He glared at Xiao Sizhe, his eyes burning with anger, and his voice was filled with suppressed anger: "I, that's not what I'm asking. I'm asking you if it's a boy or a girl?"
Xiao Sizhe was not afraid at all. He raised his chin slightly, with a confident light in his eyes, like a worm in Emperor Yuxuan's stomach, and seemed to have seen through the emperor's mind. "Of course I know! But I'm afraid if I tell him, the emperor will definitely not tolerate him!" Xiao Sizhe's words were a bit mysterious, making people even more curious about the gender of the baby in his belly.
"Nonsense, how could I not like this child!" Emperor Yuxuan's face flushed red, and his angry look seemed to burn the whole hall. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of anxiety. "Tell me quickly, is it a boy or a girl in your belly?" Emperor Yuxuan's voice echoed in the hall, full of majesty and anxiety.
Xiao Sizha's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a proud smile, and slowly said: "I have a little girl! A cute little girl!" Xiao Sizha's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in the hall. Everyone was shocked by Xiao Sizha's words, and they whispered to each other and talked about it.
After hearing this, Emperor Yuxuan let out a long sigh, as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. A trace of relief flashed across his eyes, and then he turned to General Xiao and asked, "What about General Xiao's?"
Xiao Sizhe answered without hesitation: "It's a boy!" General Xiao and the ministers couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. "Second Master, just brag!" Everyone thought Xiao Sizhe's words were too absurd. How could a man get pregnant, let alone know the gender of the baby in his belly.
Emperor Yuxuan ignored everyone's reaction at this time. He stared at Concubine Hao's belly, his eyes full of expectation and nervousness. "Then, what about my beloved concubine's?" Emperor Yuxuan's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he attached great importance to the child in Concubine Hao's belly. He leaned forward slightly, his face full of anxiety.
Xiao Sizhe jumped off the chicken bus, with a mysterious smile on his face, and slowly walked around Haofei. His steps were light and mysterious, as if he was performing a mysterious ritual. Three circles to the left, three circles to the right, Xiao Sizhe carefully observed Haofei while walking, and his focused look made people curious.
Finally, Xiao Sizhe stopped, touched his chin, frowned slightly, and said: "From a distance, it looks like a cat, from close up, it looks like a dog. From the side, it looks like a pig, from the side, it looks like a sheep..." As soon as Xiao Sizhe said this, the whole hall fell into a dead silence. Everyone was stunned by Xiao Sizhe's words, and the concubine was so angry that her face turned green.
"What did you say?" Hao Fei glared at Xiao Sizhe, her eyes burning with anger. "How dare you say that there is a monster in my belly!" Hao Fei's voice was sharp and angry, as if it could penetrate a person's eardrum.
Xiao Sizhe was not panicked. Instead, he raised a playful smile and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I'm just telling you the truth. Judging from your complexion and body shape, there is indeed something unusual. However, it is still unknown whether you can give birth to this baby!" Although Xiao Sizhe's words seemed to be an apology, people felt that he had other meanings.
Emperor Yuxuan was also lost in thought at this time. He didn't know whether Xiao Sizhe's words were true or false, but his heart was full of worries.
His brows were furrowed, his eyes full of worry. If there was really something wrong with the baby in Concubine Hao's belly, then Concubine Wan should not touch him first. If something happened to Concubine Hao, wouldn't it all be in vain?
The atmosphere in the hall became more tense, and everyone was waiting for Emperor Yuxuan's decision. Xiao Sizhe stood quietly by the side, still with that mysterious smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.
Xiao Sizhe stood there with his head held high, his eyes revealing unruly and confident look.
The Imperial Master was so angry that his face turned red and his whole body was shaking. "Your Majesty, please do not listen to the nonsense of this madman. If that were the case, why was he a beggar before! If he had not met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid I would not know where to find him now!"
The Imperial Master spoke harshly, trying to get Emperor Yuxuan to stay away from Xiao Sizhe.
Xiao Sizhe smiled carefreely, and the laughter echoed in the hall, carrying a fearless momentum. "Who said that there are people from Jinting in the suburbs of the capital? I am from Jinting. I know everything that everyone here doesn't know, and I can see everything that everyone can't see!"
His words were full of mystery and certainty, as if he really held the secrets of the world.
The Imperial Master was furious. "You shameless lunatic, you are talking nonsense. What do you mean Jin Ting is not a fellow villager? There is no such thing in this world!" His voice echoed in the hall, filled with strong doubt and anger.
Xiao Sizhe was not moved at all, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile. "Just because you don't have it doesn't mean I don't have it! Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you! It's time to leave the court, I have to go back, really, this old guy is angry with me, what if I have a miscarriage? Can you afford it?" After saying that, he turned around and got on the chicken bus with a swift movement.
The good concubine at the side jumped up in anxiety, "Your Majesty, we can't let him go, we can't let him go! You haven't memorized the secret of immortality yet?" The good concubine's face was full of anxiety and worry, she knew very well how important the secret of immortality was to Emperor Yuxuan.
When Emperor Yuxuan heard this, he suddenly understood. Yes, the most important secret of immortality, he hasn't memorized a single word yet! He shouted, "Come back!" The sound exploded in the hall like thunder, and the ministers in the hall staggered and almost fell down.
Xiao Sizhe frowned slightly when he heard the roar. He stopped what he was doing, turned around slowly, and looked at Emperor Yuxuan again.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean? I've already said that the time to adjourn the court has come and I want to go back to see the father of my child." There was a hint of dissatisfaction and stubbornness in Xiao Sizhe's tone.
Emperor Yuxuan stood up, walked down the steps step by step, and came to Xiao Sizhe. "You said you came from the Golden Court and know everything in the world. Then tell me the secret of immortality, and I will reward you greatly." Emperor Yuxuan's eyes were full of expectation and desire.
Emperor Yuxuan sat high on the dragon throne, his eyes fixed on Xiao Sizhe below, his heart filled with curiosity and desire for the unknown world.
Xiao Sizhe straightened up, looked at Emperor Yuxuan with a firm gaze, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I am from Jinting. In fact, I am the laziest one there! I am idle all day long and I am so greedy!" His voice echoed in the hall, with a hint of self-mockery and unruly.
“In Jinting, the fairy fruit is produced once every hundred years according to human time. The number is limited, so each household can only get one.” Xiao Sizhe continued, his words seemed to carry a mysterious magic, making everyone present immersed in the imagination of that mysterious place.
