Chapter 407: Emperor Gai Zhang is willing to stay with Xiu Mei forever
Aunt Tao continued, "My dear son, you are no longer the top scholar. You are a kite maker now."
Zhu Junhao looked aggrieved and said, "Making kites is pretty good too."
Aunt Tao said, "Bullshit! Look at our street. Three of the kite-makers are bachelors. Do you want to be the fourth?"
Zhu Junhao still felt aggrieved. "Mr. Fengshen and I have a verbal agreement that we will not discuss marriage within six months."
Aunt Tao, looking very disappointed, said, "You're trying to piss me off to death. How can you make such an appointment?"
Zhu Junhao said: "This is very fair."
Aunt Tao stood up and said, "Fair as hell! He went to the battlefield and was afraid you'd steal Chuntao away, so he made up this lie to keep you in check. And you agreed to it? Are you stupid?"
Zhu Junhao said, "Young Master is fighting for the country. How can I take advantage of his misfortune and seize Chun Tao?"
Aunt Tao took two steps and said, "Oh my God, I don't know how you got the top score in the exam. You're not as smart as me. Do you think he really went to the war? Is his father really willing to let him go? I don't know where he ran off to cool off. When he comes back in half a year, all the military achievements will be his."
Zhu Junhao disagreed and said, "Master Fengshen is a gentleman. He will definitely be the first to rush into battle."
Aunt Tao took two more steps and said, "Come on, come on, you believe everything others say, but you don't believe anything I say."
He sat down and continued, "Let's wait and see. In half a year, when that great hero comes back, it would be strange if Chuntao doesn't fly away."
Zhu Junhao said, "Auntie, the peaches don't fly away, it's the clouds that fly away."
Aunt Tao said, "Forget it, forget it. It's pointless to tell a nerd like you. I know that only I, your godmother, can handle your problem."
Zhu Junhao was completely confused.

"I am an unfilial son." Emperor Gai Zhang knelt in front of the empress dowager and lowered his head.
The Queen Mother said, "You actually admitted this in front of all the ministers. What do you mean by this?"
Emperor Gai Zhang raised his head and said, "As the ruler of a country, one must be brave enough to take responsibility for one's actions."
The Queen Mother said, "You dare to take responsibility for your actions? You see that all the ministers are kneeling outside, trying to dissuade you, the philandering emperor. You have brought shame upon the Great Xuan Imperial Family."
Emperor Gai Zhang lowered his head and said, "The child deserves to die, Xiumei is innocent."
The Queen Mother said, "Xiumei is innocent. The royal family can give her money and land. Why must she be brought into the palace?"
Emperor Gai Zhang thought for a moment, raised his head, and said, "Because... because I wish to stay with her forever."
The Queen Mother angrily said, "Ridiculous! Have you forgotten everything Emperor Kangxi taught you?"
Emperor Gai Zhang said frankly: "I will keep it in mind."
The Queen Mother said, "Then you speak."
Emperor Gai Zhang said sternly, "The Great Xuan Emperor's desire to marry a Han woman is unfaithful and unfilial. The royal family has the right to depose the emperor and establish a new one."
The Empress Dowager said, "This seems to be written by Emperor Kangxi for you. Get up."
Emperor Gai Zhang stood up and said, "Empress Dowager, Emperor Kangxi's will is outdated."
The Queen Mother angrily said, "How dare you."
Emperor Gai Zhang continued, "Empress Dowager, the Great Xuan Kingdom has existed for over a hundred years, and the people hope to see the Manchus and the Han become one family. In our Great Xuan, all ethnic groups are equal."
The Empress Dowager said, "The entire court is filled with outrage, yet the Emperor still insists on having his own way?"
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "My son is only marrying a girl, why make such a fuss?"
The Queen Mother slowly stood up and said, "How many ministers have come to me, weeping bitterly, saying that the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues of the Great Xuan Dynasty are about to be corrupted by the Emperor."
