Qi Haoxuan was stunned; he had never considered these questions.
"So there are certain phrases, like ’well-matched in social status’ and ’a talented man and a beautiful woman.’ Liking soone and wanting to beco better because of them is a good thing, a very good thing. I am truly gratified." The Emperor smiled at Qi Haoxuan.
"Royal Brother..." Qi Haoxuan looked at the Emperor’s gratified expression with so embarrassnt and asked, "Royal Brother, did I often worry you in the past?"
The Emperor thought seriously for a mont: "Just a little bit. But I think, I am the Emperor, and you are my brother, I can support you for a lifeti without any problem. Even if you are uneducated and uninford, with no literary achievents nor martial success..."
"Stop, stop." Qi Haoxuan interrupted the Emperor with dissatisfaction, "Royal Brother, although you are speaking the truth, why do I feel so uncomfortable hearing it?"
"Hahaha, you also know I am speaking the truth. But I want to say, even so, I am willing to support you for a lifeti. Even after I am gone, I have left an edict so no one can bully you." The Emperor laughed.
"No, Royal Brother, you must live a long life!" Hearing these words, Qi Haoxuan felt a bit annoyed, stood up and said, "Royal Brother, you must live a long life. If you are gone, no one will be there to protect ."
"Okay, okay, I will certainly live a long life." The Emperor smiled, "Alright, you can go back now. I will have soone go to your residence daily to give you lessons."
"Thank you, Royal Brother, you are the best." Qi Haoxuan cheerfully saluted and then ran off.
After Qi Haoxuan left, the Emperor summoned the Hidden Guard: "What happened today?"
After the Hidden Guard reported, the Emperor pondered. Because the hunting ground today was flat, the Hidden Guards couldn’t hide and could only watch from afar. Yet, inexplicably, a wild boar appeared and was shot by Haoxuan. This all sounded very strange.
Moreover, the identity of the mysterious woman nad Tianmiao still hasn’t been discovered. How could this be?
"Emperor, there is another matter, but this old servant does not know whether to speak of it." Chong’an bowed.
"Speak of it if there is sothing; why keep guessing?" The Emperor knew that his close Chief Eunuch wouldn’t say this unless there was sothing important.
"The young gentlen in the Capital City are all behaving differently now. All because of Prince Carefree." Chong’an reported.
"Oh? Tell more." The Emperor grew interested and asked Chong’an to elaborate.
After hearing the details, the Emperor’s expression beca sowhat complicated.
Qi Haoxuan, who used to spend his days idly, chasing chickens and dogs, although not to the extent of abducting won, definitely did not have a good reputation. For instance, jumping queues, or insisting on having soone vacate a private dining room for him—all were common occurrences. But now, he actively condemned such behavior and restrained those playboys, warning them against acting this way. Anyone who dared disobey would be beaten.
He used to gather people to watch cockfights, reward birds, and such. Now, seeing such activities, he would shake his head and sigh, saying these playboys were wasteful; one should not waste precious ti on these activities and should instead go back and read more books.
At one point, the playboys in the Capital City thought Qi Haoxuan was possessed by sothing. But that was impossible. For a while, the playboys in the Capital City beca much more well-behaved.
Qi Haoxuan’s upcoming days beca much more fulfilling.
Every morning, he trained in martial arts early.
As for Tianmiao, she would sit on the rocking chair under the eaves, nibbling on all sorts of snacks Qi Haoxuan commanded to be bought and sipping tribute tea Qi Haoxuan obtained from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, leisurely watching him train in martial arts.
