102. Things About Being an Empress, Part 1
Edgar's enthronement ceremony was very grand and broadcasted live on the entire star network.
The enthronement was held in the imperial palace. On this day, the gates of the imperial palace were opened wide, and all the roadsides were practically packed with uniformed imperial guards. Outside the imperial palace, many people had gathered together with flowers in their hands; they were coming to bless Edgar.
When a member of the imperial family ascended the throne, they always allowed the masses to watch it from outside the imperial palace.
When the Prime Minister of the Empire changed, there would basically be some people who raised a ruckus and came up with something, and usually, they would demonstrate as well. But when the Emperor changed people, there had never been such things. At most, everyone was talking about the clothes and jewelry of the imperial family online.
And this time, Shu Shu still performed perfectly—the cramming he had done before ascending the throne was not in vain!
Walking beside Edgar while leading the two children along, Shu Shu looked very solemn and graceful yet with a face that still looked a bit too young and tender until now . . . .
"The empress is so cute!"
"The two princes are cuter. Look at their serious little faces, very solemn, ha ha ha."
“The empress leading his two children is totally like him leading two younger brothers, ah. I wonder how he maintains his skin."
“He doesn’t need skin care. To begin with, he’s still young, only twenty."
“Only twenty, ah . . ."
. . . . . .
The netizens stared at Shu Shu admiringly; only twenty years old, ah. Many of them were still attending school when they were twenty years old, but the empress had already done a lot of things.
Thinking of it this way, they were generous with their praises for Shu Shu.
After Shu Shu had gone through the whole process of the enthronement ceremony, he collapsed on the sofa, eating and reading the news on the Internet with brows raised in delight and eyes laughing.
So many netizens were praising him. It could clearly be seen that he was really awesome.
Moreover, being an empress was really prestigious, ah . . . . Shu Shu, seeing the people on the star network talking about empress, abruptly thought of the various palace fighting dramas that he had watched together with his former owners.
A lot of women fought with each other; wasn't it just to be an empress? Now he was also an empress . . . . Shu Shu turned around and suddenly fixed his gaze on Edgar, "Your Imperial Majesty, you certainly aren’t allowed to get me a bunch of little daemons (hussy) in the future!"
What were little daemons? Edgar was a little puzzled but soon recalled that Shu Shu seemed to be a daemon. Shu Shu was a daemon, then little daemons . . . . Edgar glanced at the little hamster sitting on the side playing with the toy building blocks. "Whatever you say. If you don't want to give birth, then don’t." He was already satisfied with having two children.
What the hell was this all about?! He was talking about hussy and not about him giving birth! Shu Shu glared at Edgar.
Edgar was perplexed and did not understand why he was glared at. He had not said something wrong, had he?
Anyway, Shu Shu only asked a question because he suddenly remembered the palace fighting story, and he did not care about asking anything else. So he just took some food out of his food pouches and started to crunch on it.
The little hamster glanced at Shu Shu and took out some food from his mouth just like Shu Shu did and then started to crunch on it.
Watching Shu Shu and the little hamster eat happily, the little snake was depressed. He had no food pouches, so he could not carry any food on his body. As it happened, he was also hungry after having played around for a while . . . .
This poor child . . . . Edgar called someone and had the man bring a platter of meat.
This meat was prepared for the little snake to eat and had not been minced. Each piece was a one-centimeter square, and the little snake ate it one by one with a fork.
The little snake immediately ate the meat happily. As he ate, the little hamster slowly walked over, and then the meat on the plate began to diminish rapidly, and after a while, more than half of it were actually gone . . . . The little hamster definitely couldn’t eat so much; presumably, he put all those meat in his food pouches.
". . ." Edgar was speechless and then had someone bring another platter of meat.
When Chris and Ian came in from the outside, they saw their two grandsons sitting there eating meat cubes, looking extremely cute with their bulging cheeks.
The two men’s eyes lit up, and Ian directly went towards the little hamster. "Gary, aren’t you tired of eating meat? Do you want to eat something else?"
"And Fred, do you want to drink water?" Having asked the little hamster, Ian also asked the little snake.
Gary? Fred? Shu Shu automatically turned his gaze toward Edgar—what was this all about?
". . ." Edgar was silent for a moment before saying, "I asked you before what names you would give to the children. You said whatever the names were, it’s okay as long as I gave them names. Then I asked you again, and you said it’s good." His sub-beastman really stood out from the masses. Other sub-beastmen grew a flower pot and had to give it a name. And his sub-beastman?
How long had he been with Shu Shu at that time? And Shu Shu still called him Big Snake. He totally didn't expect Shu Shu to give him a name. When the two children were born, Shu Shu either called them Little Snake and Little Hamster or Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei, two pet names that were chosen casually and not thought thoroughly at all . . . . He really didn't know what to say.
Only when Shu Shu heard Edgar say this did he remember that when they were still on Fallen Beast Planet, Edgar had indeed told him that he would name the two children and also mentioned what names he would give them. It was a pity that he had forgotten it . . . .
So these two children, one was called Fred, and the other was Gary, ah . . . . Shu Shu kept repeating those names silently several times, stored them in his heart, and secretly told himself that he could not forget.
While Shu Shu was struggling to remember his children's names, Chris handed over all the imperial family’s industries to Edgar.
With the help of lawyers, all industries of the imperial family under Chris’ name were transferred to Edgar. Of course, Chris retained part of the dividend rights.
For Edgar, he might still be able to have free time if he was just an emperor, but with the addition of so many industries . . . . Edgar had a feeling that he might never be able to relax anymore—he had been in the military for so many years and had not learned how to manage the industry, so there were really a lot of things he had to learn now.
"I'll stay here to help you these days. Once you master it, I'll go to Gass Planet to cultivate for some time." Chris said to Edgar.
Edgar nodded and began to understand each of his own industries with Chris’ help.
Chris talked to Edgar for a long time and finally handed over all the work on his hands to Edgar. Then he had dinner with Edgar and Shu Shu before leaving with Ian.
After leaving Edgar's residence, Chris, who had shown exhaustion from time to time in front of Edgar, immediately smiled and turned toward his sub-beastman, "How? Unsatisfied? We’re relaxed now."
"Did you trick your son?" Ian glared at Chris, but there’s a smile in his eyes.
"If this is me tricking him, I don't know how many people in this world are looking forward to being tricked." Chris replied and told Ian again, "Since you often accompany the two children these days, when we go to Gass planet to cultivate, we’ll take the children along with us." He used to be very rejective toward beastmen around him and was not even close to Edgar, the son he loved and cared about very much. But now . . . .
Many beastmen would love those lively and cute little beastmen after they grew older, and he was like this.
Ian nodded at once.
He liked Chris' plan!
After Edgar ascended the throne, Shu Shu became the empress, and the life of the empress . . . . Shu Shu found that it did not seem to be much different from his previous life, which was nothing more than eating and sleeping.
Shu Shu always had no ambitions and was well-suited to the life of eating and sleeping. In the meantime, he also played a doctor simulation game online.
Noticing Shu Shu's activity, Ian introduced a job to Shu Shu. "I was a military doctor before I got married. After marriage, I couldn’t be a doctor anymore, so I opened a hospital. This hospital is mainly for charity and will receive people who have no money to treat their illnesses. Every patient there has been investigated, so it's very safe. Would you like to work there?"
The job Ian introduced was great. Not to mention the relaxed working hours, it was also in his own family’s industry, so he absolutely wouldn’t be wronged if he went there . . . . After Shu Shu considered it, he nodded without the slightest hesitation and agreed—he was just worrying about having nowhere to hone his medical skills, and Ian promptly gave him the solution to this, ah!
Moreover, he was no longer a hamster now, but a man. And as a man, he really should have a job.
He did not expect that he, a little hamster, could actually become a respected doctor one day . . . . Shu Shu was so proud of himself that he kept telling Edgar about it seven or eight times. Then the next day, he went to work at the hospital in high spirits.
Edgar: Was it necessary to be so excited just being a doctor?
This hospital was opened by Ian, and Ian also used to go there, and together with Shu Shu’s status as the empress, no one made a fuss about nothing. In the hospital, Shu Shu was able to get access to all sorts of patients, and after helping them treat their illnesses, he could even get their gratitude, which actually made him like this job more and more. Thus, he went to work happily every day.
After that, the matter of taking care of the two children inevitably fell on Ian.
Shu Shu had absolutely no objection to this. He knew he had to give the children enough love, but he did not really understand the specific matters of taking care of the children. By comparison, Ian and the childcare experts were more proficient at it.
Big-hearted Shu Shu did not feel anything about it. Edgar, on the contrary, felt something but pretended like he was not aware of it.
If the two children were around, they would occupy most of Shu Shu’s attention. Now that there was someone taking over . . . it was not a bad thing, wasn’t it?
Ian did want to have a good relationship with the two children, so he had been rushing to take care of them these days. However, he did not have any idea to ruin the relationship between Shu Shu and the two children. As soon as Shu Shu got off work, he would bring the two children back to Shu Shu. On this day, he even brought the two children as well as Jones to visit Shu Shu at the hospital.
When they came over, Shu Shu was diagnosing and treating a patient.
Although Shu Shu had spiritual power, he clearly understood that his medical skills would definitely not improve if he always used spiritual power, so he tried to not use spiritual power as much as possible. Right now, he was using various hospital instruments to do a full body examination on a patient lying in the medical treatment cabin, looking very serious.
Ian, holding the children, waited until the patient's examinations were all done. He was just about to call Shu Shu out loud and saw Shu Shu turn his head to look at them. With a smile on his face, Shu Shu squatted down and called out, "Xiao Bao, Xiao Bei!"
"Mother!" Seeing Shu Shu, Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei rushed towards Shu Shu together and plunged into Shu Shu's arms. Then Shu Shu cupped their heads and gave them a few kisses each.
