The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Chapter 960 Your Daddy is So Handsome

Emperor Zhaowu was sincere and affirmed Shi Anxia's achievements in every word.

He did not spend the whole day playing with the children. Instead, he led his confidants to survey the canal culverts at dawn every day and did not return until dusk.

Only when the lights were turned on did he order people to take the children to the courtyard to play for a while.

Seeing that An Xia had to deal with the disaster and sort out the complicated issues involved in the Jiang Zhongxin case, he never bothered her or asked about it easily.

Cen Yuan had some doubts in his heart. It was not until this moment that he realized whether Empress Dowager Huizheng and Emperor Zhaowu had any feelings for each other after he was poisoned in his previous life.

But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he suppressed it.

He thought, if anything really happened, when Shi Anxia was reborn and came back, before she remembered him, the first person she would choose should be Emperor Zhaowu.

Obviously, Shi Anxia never had this idea. Even if it was to avoid the Queen Mother's evil hands, she would rather marry him, a "stranger", than choose Emperor Zhaowu.

Thinking of this, Cen Yuan's depression suddenly disappeared.

But when he was in love at night, he held her in his arms and couldn't help burying his face in her neck, saying in a muffled voice, "Emperor Zhaowu treats you three times closer than a real brother and sister."

The words sound a bit sour.

Shi Anxia was startled when she heard this, but she nodded, "Of course it's more than just a brother-sister relationship." She looked righteous, "He is grateful to you and me for helping him get to the top, and he also thinks of..." She paused, "We avenged his mother for him."

In his previous life, Xiao Zhi not only failed to take revenge, he also almost died in the capital.

She was not proud of her own achievements, but the fact was that without her and Cen Yuan's planning, Beiyi would not have reached its current prosperity.

Xiao Zhi's life would not have been so smooth. She deserved the credit.

Seeing her explaining so seriously, Cen Yuan didn't know what to say. His little girl was so obsessed with the affairs of the court that she wouldn't think about these romantic affairs like ordinary girls.

He, on the other hand, is narrow-minded.

This is fine - Cen Yuan tightened her arms. Where she couldn't see, the corners of her lips slightly raised, she was in a good mood.

At dawn that day, Emperor Zhaowu just stepped out of the gate of the inn when he met two people.

A young man in brocade robe was holding a gold-painted visiting card. He was Xie Huai, the eldest son of the Xie family.

When Emperor Zhaowu glanced at the words "asking to see the princess" on the note, he understood that it must be a request for the princess to show mercy and release his brother Xie Yu.

Emperor Zhaowu only had a vague idea about this matter. He only knew that Xie Yu was actually the fifth prince of Liang State, who came to dig up the gold mine in Beiyi, and was now being played by Shi Anxia.

He was too lazy to care, knowing that An Xia knew what to do.

But the other man in black made Emperor Zhaowu take a closer look. The man was about fifty years old, with a weathered face and a beard. His drooping eyebrows made a pair of hawk-like eyes that made a deep impression when he looked at him.

Zhuo Qiran chased out of the inn, shouting "Master".

When Zhuo Qiran saw that Emperor Zhaowu was also there, he hurriedly bowed and introduced his master.

Emperor Zhaowu immediately knew that this person was Zhuo Qiran's master Ye Xun.

He went on a secret tour in disguise, and Zhuo Qiran only performed common courtesy.

Ye Xun only nodded slightly to him as a greeting. When that look came over, Emperor Zhaowu clearly felt that it was quite meaningful.

Although Emperor Zhaowu was once an unpopular prince, he had been immersed in the majesty of the royal family for many years. The years of governing the country had tempered his demeanor, and even now, standing in front of the steps in a plain robe, his demeanor was like a sword drawn from its sheath, making people dare not look directly at him.

When ordinary people see him, they always subconsciously lower their heads and avoid him.

But that night, he stood with his hands behind his back, without a trace of reverence in his eyes. The morning breeze blew his half-white beard and hair, revealing a bit of the aura of an immortal.

This person is unusual! Emperor Zhaowu thought again, people with great abilities are always a bit arrogant. Besides, people in the underworld never accept the tricks of the imperial court.

He nodded slightly as a return gesture, then got on the carriage and drove away.

Emperor Zhaowu asked, "Xiao Shuzi, who do you think Zhuo Qiran's master resembles?"

Xiao Shuzi thought for a moment and said, "I dare not speak nonsense."

"I allow you to speak, so you can speak freely."

Xiao Shuzi got the confirmation and responded respectfully, "I feel that Master Xun that night was like... the emperor."

Emperor Zhaowu thought about it and agreed, "You are right. I also feel that this person is very familiar. It turns out that it is because he looks like the emperor."

Xiao Shuzi was very happy to be recognized by the emperor, so he said a few more words, "I heard that Master Ye Xun is a strange man. Earlier, Miss Bei Hui didn't dare to stay in front of him. The princess even arranged someone to serve him, but they were also driven away. However, he is very close to the children."

"Oh?" Emperor Zhaowu became interested. "This weirdo also likes children?"

"Not only that," Xiao Shuzi, a gossiper, had already found out about every aspect of the inn, "He not only likes children, he also likes dogs. I heard that the youngest daughter of the old man's family picked up a big white dog outside, and the big white dog often wandered around in the yard. It wandered around and eventually came to Ye Xun's place, and was not chased out, so it stayed there for most of the day."

That night, Emperor Zhaowu went back and asked Yi Yi, "Do you like your uncle or Uncle Yexun?"

Yi Yi opened her big grape-like eyes and asked back, "Who is Uncle Ye Xun?"

Emperor Zhaowu explained with gestures, "The one with the beard," and then glared, "looks very fierce, as if he wants to hit someone."

Yi Yi smiled slyly, "Oh... I remember now." He covered his mouth and spoke in a mumble, "I won't tell my uncle."

Emperor Zhaowu was so competitive that he wanted to know the truth. He picked up the kid and threw him into the air, then caught him steadily, making the child giggle. "Will you tell me or not? Tell me now, do you like your uncle or your old uncle?"

Yi Yi pulled Emperor Zhaowu's black hair, still giggling non-stop, with the clearness and innocence unique to children, "I like Daddy..."

Emperor Zhaowu paused, his hand suspended in the air, holding the child in mid-air.

After a moment, he slowly put the child down, held him on his lap, and asked softly, "You have never seen your father, why do you like him?"

"I have seen it, I have seen it." Yi Yi's pair of big black and bright eyes flashed with tiny star-like light, "Daddy is handsome, Daddy is the most handsome."

Emperor Zhaowu looked at Yi Yi's jade-like appearance. To be honest, the child looked a lot like Cen Yuan, especially the nose and features, which were somewhat similar.

Only those eyes look more like his mother's.

This child is blessed by nature.

Emperor Zhaowu's thoughts drifted to the figure on the polo field swinging at the Wan people, who really swung out the dignity of the Beiyi people. He also thought of the man on the archery field, drawing his bow like the moon and shooting his arrow through the sky.

He was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Yeah, your daddy... is really handsome."

When that man was present, kings, princes, generals, princes and emperors all seemed to bow their heads involuntarily.

No matter how handsome and graceful you are, you will eventually pale in comparison to him.

Even such brilliant figures as Shi Yunqi and Tang Xinghe could not conceal his brilliance.

That person was born like the blazing sun, and even if it disappears, its scorching heat will never diminish.

Emperor Zhaowu looked into Yi Yi's eyes and asked, "Where have you seen your father?"
