Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 332

Chapter 332: Can You Get Thrown in the Imperial Prison for Angering the Empress?

“But something’s not right.”

Chu Chen suddenly furrowed his little brows, asking in confusion, “Big Sister, if she’s already the Empress, then she should be a Martial Emperor, right? Can we really spank her?”

Chu Xin was also taken aback for a moment, then waved her little fair hand and said, “It’s not like I’m asking you to really spank the Empress. We’ll just pretend to do it, to make her angry, so she’ll lock us up in the Imperial Prison, understand?”

“So we’re not really doing it.”

Chu Chen blinked his big eyes, looking a bit disappointed.

He had never spanked a Martial Emperor before, and he really wanted to see what it felt like.

Next, the two siblings had a very serious and “detailed” discussion on how to “reasonably” pretend to spank the Empress.

Half an hour later, Ye Hongxue returned to the residence, found Chu Xin and Chu Chen, and said, “Ai Chirou, Ai Kaorou, Her Majesty wants me to bring you to the palace.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen, having formulated what they believed to be a perfect plan, followed Ye Hongxue confidently towards the Imperial Palace.

Ye Hongxue was a little confused. Weren’t these two little ones reluctant to go to the palace earlier? Why did their attitude completely change in just half an hour? They seemed very eager now.

But she didn’t think too much about it. It was impossible for a normal adult to understand the thoughts of children.

“Wow! So this is the Imperial Palace, it’s so big and beautiful.”

As soon as they entered the Imperial Palace, Chu Xin and Chu Chen couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement, like two country bumpkins who had never seen the world and were visiting a big city for the first time.

“It would be great if we could live in this Imperial Palace.”

The siblings looked longingly. It was really beautiful here, and much, much bigger than Dàshí Village.

Even the two-headed piglet on Chu Xin’s shoulder turned its two little pig heads, looking around and muttering softly, “Humans really know how to enjoy themselves. When I go back to the Fire Xi Cave, I’ll build a big palace like this too. Wait, it seems like I can’t go back.”

Hearing this, Ye Hongxue’s eyes darted, and she said with a smile, “Besides Her Majesty, only five types of people can live in the Imperial Palace.”

“Which five types?”

Chu Xin asked curiously.

Ye Hongxue slowly said, “The first type is naturally the Imperial Palace Guards, but they can only move around in the front palace area, and you are too young to become guards. The second and third types are palace maids and eunuchs, who serve Her Majesty and the princes and princesses. The fourth type is the imperial concubines, but now that we have an Empress, the harem is filled with the late Emperor’s concubines. The fifth type, naturally, is the princes and princesses. However, the Empress is currently unmarried, so there are no princes or princesses.”

“Auntie Ye, what are eunuchs?”

Chu Chen tilted his little head and asked with curiosity and confusion.

“Well, this!”

Ye Hongxue’s pretty face blushed, not knowing how to explain. After a long silence, she said, “You’ll know when you grow up.”

“Okay.”

Chu Chen nodded, his round eyes still full of confusion and curiosity.

Ye Hongxue smiled and said, “If you want to live in the palace, the only way is to become Her Majesty’s son and daughter.”

Chu Xin immediately shook her head and waved her hands, saying in a childish but firm voice, “That won’t do, we have a Dad and a Mom. We are not Her Majesty’s daughter and son.”

“That’s right, we have a Dad and a Mom.”

Chu Chen also nodded repeatedly.

Ye Hongxue chuckled, ruffled the siblings’ hair, and said, “Besides your biological parents, you can also have godparents. You can acknowledge Her Majesty as your Godmother. She doesn’t have any children anyway. Then you would be the Empire’s Princess and Prince, and you could live in the Imperial Palace every day.”

“Godfather? Godmother?”

Chu Chen blinked his big eyes, turned to Chu Xin, and whispered, “Big Sister, do you know what a Godfather and Godmother are?”

“I don’t know.”

Chu Xin shook her head and mumbled, “I only know Wet Nurse. Wet Nurse has milk.”

Speaking of this, she suddenly looked up at Ye Hongxue and asked, “Auntie Ye, does a Godmother have milk?”

“What milk?”

Ye Hongxue was stunned, not understanding.

Chu Xin took out her baby bottle and took a sip, then explained seriously, “This kind of milk. We have a Wet Nurse, and this milk is from her. Does a Godmother have milk? Is it tasty?”

Ye Hongxue finally understood, and she stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

◈◈◈

“Her Majesty has no children, where would the milk come from? No, no, no, how can I discuss Her Majesty’s privacy like this?”

Ye Hongxue’s pretty face turned red and then pale, and she looked back at Chu Xin and Chu Chen, feeling speechless.

Why were these two brats’ thought processes always so strange? She couldn’t keep up at all.

Moreover, discussing Her Majesty’s privacy was a capital offense. If Her Majesty found out, she would be executed.

“Ai Chirou, Ai Kaorou, you are not allowed to talk about these things in front of Her Majesty. No, you are not allowed to talk about these things in front of anyone, do you understand?” Ye Hongxue warned very seriously.

“Understood.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded in unison, secretly thinking, judging by Auntie Ye’s reaction, a Godmother definitely doesn’t have milk. Wet Nurse is better.

“Also,”

Ye Hongxue thought for a moment and felt she needed to remind them again. She said seriously, “When you meet Her Majesty, you must greet her properly, speak respectfully, and not be disrespectful to her. Otherwise, if Her Majesty gets angry, the consequences will be very serious.”

“How serious?” Chu Xin’s eyes lit up, and she quickly asked.

“Will she lock us up in the Imperial Prison?” Chu Chen was more direct.

The Imperial Prison?

Ye Hongxue looked at the two brats, not understanding why they would ask that. Thinking about it, Her Majesty wanted to win over the forces behind these two brats, so she probably wouldn’t throw them in the Imperial Prison for general disrespect or disobedience.

However, to scare the two brats, she nodded very firmly and said, “Yes, and you’ll never be able to get out.”

“That’s great.”

Chu Chen clapped his hands excitedly. So it was that easy to get into the Imperial Prison. If he had known, he wouldn’t have had to discuss it with his sister for so long.

“What?”

Ye Hongxue was stunned.

Chu Xin quickly covered for him, “Little Brother is just too nervous. He meant to say it’s too scary, he misspoke.”

“Yes, yes, yes, I misspoke. It’s too scary. If you’re disrespectful to Her Majesty, you’ll be locked up in the Imperial Prison forever. It’s too scary.” Chu Chen nodded repeatedly, even putting on a scared expression.

“If you don’t want to go to the Imperial Prison, then remember what I said,” Ye Hongxue reminded them again.

“Auntie Ye, we remember.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded repeatedly.

“Let’s go, Her Majesty is waiting in the Imperial Study.”

Ye Hongxue no longer wanted to discuss anything related to Her Majesty with the two brats. These two brats dared to say anything, and she was afraid that she might accidentally say something she shouldn’t, and then the Empress would get angry, and she would lose her head, or even her whole family would be executed. That would be a tragedy.

Now she just wanted to quickly take these two brats to the Imperial Study, hand them over to the Empress, and her task would be completed. After that, whatever the two brats said would have nothing to do with her.

Chu Xin and Chu Chen also stopped talking, just constantly turning their little heads, looking around, and occasionally letting out heartfelt exclamations.

“Your Majesty.”

Soon, the group arrived outside the Imperial Study. Ye Hongxue bowed and said respectfully, “Ai Chirou and Ai Kaorou have been brought.”

“Come in.”

After a moment, a dignified female voice sounded.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Ye Hongxue rose after bowing, turned to Chu Xin and Chu Chen, and whispered again, “When you see Her Majesty, greet her properly, speak respectfully, and don’t be as unruly as before, do you understand?”

“Understood.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen said in unison, then looked at each other and nodded in perfect sync.
