ATBLM [QT} Chapter 77.2

Time is like running water, as if only in the blink of an eye, a coquettish and crying naughty boy has grown into a vigorous teenager.

The Little Emperor now has the power of an emperor for the first time. He is tacitly aware of the relationship between Lu Xingzhou and his Queen Mother.

Of these two people, one was not his biological mother, but she looked like his biological mother, and the other was his half-Master, single-handedly cultivating him into an emperor. Therefore, even if he was the Son of Heaven, when he came to them, he was willing to bow his head, let alone ignore the matter.

But this does not mean that the Little Emperor can also be willing and indifferent to Lu Xingzhou’s desire to abduct his mother.

After realizing that the Queen Mother would leave him in the near future, the Little Emperor had to run to Chang’an Palace to entangle Jiang Rui every day after handling government affairs, trying to shake her determination.

Today is no exception. But as soon as he stepped into the palace gate and saw the inner attendant guarding outside the palace, he knew that he was late. He muttered ‘old fox’ in his heart, but he kept walking under his feet.

Inside the hall, Lu Xingzhou was talking to Jiang Rui. Now he has gradually let go, leaving a large number of government affairs to the Little Emperor to handle, and he has come to accompany Jiang Rui in leisure.

Hearing the report from the chamberlain, he recited ‘little rabbit cub’ in his heart, but his face was still gentle and smiling.

The Little Emperor strode into the hall, first greeted Jiang Rui, and then called Gonggong to Lu Xingzhou. He raised his head to look directly at the two of them and could not help but feel emotional. Over the years, he has grown from a child to half an adult, but his Queen Mother and Lu Gonggong are still the same as before, even their faces have not changed much.

“The weather is good today. Why doesn’t this Son go for a walk with the Queen Mother?”

Before Jiang Rui could speak, Lu Xingzhou smiled and said, “Your Majesty is one step late, the minister has already accompanied Niangniang to walk around the garden.”

The Little Emperor was not discouraged and said: “The Queen Mother mentioned the big peaches from the summer palace yesterday. I have already asked them to pick them up. They should be able to send them back before the palace gate is locked today.”

“It’s a coincidence.” Lu Xingzhou pointed to the fruit plate on the coffee table, as if it were really just a coincidence, and said with a smile: “The peach trees in Chenbezhuang also bear peaches. They only came today. Your Majesty, taste it?”

The Little Emperor was about to refuse, but he heard his Queen Mother say: “The taste is good, sweet and refreshing. Rui’er try one too.”

So, he had to take a peach in anger and bite it, rattling.

Sanqi watched all this from the sidelines and could not help but sigh. The Governor is already old and spicy, if His Majesty wants to fight with the Governor, he has to cultivate for a few more years.

After the Little Emperor had left, Jiang Rui waved her hand to make people retreat. She then said to Lu Xingzhou, “What are you doing against him? You anger him every time.”

Lu Xingzhou held her hand and squeezed it, smiling lightly: “Niangniang misunderstood, the minister is training His Majesty.”

Still training, she is afraid there is only training but not training. Jiang Rui muttered secretly.

Seeing that she did not speak, Lu Xingzhou’s hand on his other side tightened, and if nothing happened, he let it go, as if asking casually: “What Niangniang promised to the minister at the beginning, I don’t know if I can still do it?”

Why didn’t Jiang Rui know what he was thinking, she squinted at him: “You said you can’t count? Do you say it counts or not? If I’m going to turn back, I would have agreed to Rui’er when he begged me, so why wait until today.”

Her impatient appearance made Lu Xingzhou feel at ease.

He doesn’t care about the supreme power and he is not tempted by the wealth of an enemy country. Now, his only obsession is her. Any attempt to take her away could not be tolerated.

He smiled, wanted to come, and hugged her, “It’s the minister’s fault, Niangniang will calm her anger.”

Jiang Rui slapped his hand: “In broad daylight, what are you doing?”

Lu Xingzhou counted in his heart, there were still a few hours before it got dark.
