On the first day when I became the son-in-law of the Hou Mansion, I collapsed on the couch and prepared to show off. No matter what national events or national righteousness, I just wanted to: perform chivalry, be righteous, listen to music, and fight crickets.
Who would have known that the empress was crying when she looked at my portrait!
While the pieces were being laid out, the lady pulled down her sleeves with tears in her eyes: "Husband, my father is going to be assassinated!"
The father-in-law knelt down on one knee and said, "My dear son-in-law, the enemy's army is approaching!"
Even the master came to me: "Apprentice, the plague has infected ten cities!"
I pushed aside the oiran beside me, cursed and stood up - investigate unsolved cases, pacify the border, save the people, punch the Japanese, and flatten the Western fleet!
Until the empress burst into my room at night, holding her stomach: "Ai Qing, your people want to overthrow my dragon chair..."
I held her in my arms with my backhand: "Don't panic, they are just urging me to give birth to a prince as soon as possible!"
Later, at the celebration banquet in the Golden Palace, she took off her dragon robe and put it on my shoulders in front of everyone: "My lord, the throne belongs to you."
The whole court was shocked, but I decisively refused because I was just a son-in-law, so the throne was given to our child!
