The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 405 - 268: Does Dora Not Like Being King?

At night, Yun Chunnuan suddenly sat up from the bed in shock.

Yelyu Lie, who had been holding her in his arms, was also awakened.

Just about to speak, he saw the little darling gesture ’shh’ to him, "Husband, did you hear Dora’s crying?"

Yelyu Lie: "..."

The new king was still young, so Yelyu Lie and Yun Chunnuan moved into the Royal Palace.

They temporarily lived in Ningxiang Hall, while Dora stayed in Heyong Palace.

The distance between these two palaces would take half an hour on foot, how could they possibly hear the child’s cries?

Yelyu Lie had no desire to become king, as taking that position meant losing his freedom.

In his eyes and heart, he could not hold any woman other than the one he cherished most at the center of his heart.

The ruler of a country needs to branch out and propagate heirs; Yelyu Lie didn’t want any other woman, nor did he want his little wife to endure the pain of childbirth again.

If it weren’t for Dora, he might have considered having more children with Nuannuan.

But with that brat, he forever gave up that idea.

Fortunately, the brat had his uses.

The kingdom he had worked hard to win over, the thought of handing it to anyone else posed a threat to him.

Even if he chose the youngest child, how many peaceful years could there be once he grew up?

After much deliberation, Yelyu Lie set his sights on his son.

But Dora wasn’t an average child; no one could predict how fast he would grow up.

Yelyu Lie had discovered that his little wife secretly used the Storage Ring Space to go to Nanqi. Knowing that the child could already speak and had learned to walk, he was increasingly worried.

He wanted to hand the hot potato to his son but couldn’t let him be in any danger.

If he could protect him, letting him not appear in public, he could grow up happily. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

But if he became the new king, he would be exposed before everyone every day, and his son’s secrets would be revealed.

Rather than hide him away and let him grow up in secrecy,

it would be better to publicly reveal his son’s secrets.

But how could the world accept the son’s nearly bizarre growth rate?

Yelyu Lie thought of the enigmatic Grandmaster.

So, under Yelyu Lie’s threats and temptations, the two conspired the ’Heaven-sent Spirit Child’.

Having dealt with the Grandmaster, Yelyu Lie discussed with Yun Chunnuan.

At first, Yun Chunnuan was firmly against it.

Having her eight-month-old son ascend the throne, he actually thought of that!

Yelyu Lie’s clumsy mouth, in order to hand off this huge burden, displayed astonishing assertiveness.

He analyzed the pros and cons for his little wife, point by point.

Just being confined in the Royal City, never realizing her dreams of traveling about, Yun Chunnuan couldn’t stand it.

Not to mention her husband would be pressured daily by ministers to accept other women and have children...

But this kingdom in hand couldn’t just be handed to someone else, right?

Choosing a new emperor from King of Bianliao’s children would render her husband’s uprising meaningless.

After thinking it through, their son indeed was the best choice.

Seeing her heart moved, Yelyu Lie pressed further, saying he would make Prime Minister Ba the Imperial Tutor and Na Jiezhe the martial master, both personally teaching their son.

Once their son grew older and handled affairs smoothly, they could leave Bianliao and travel around.

His little wife was full of praises for Nanqi; Yelyu Lie even promised her that if she liked Nanqi, they could settle there later on.

Yun Chunnuan was tempted by this.

However, once their son ascended the throne, she naturally couldn’t leave Bianliao.

But they could still travel.

Thus, being sweet-talked, Yun Chunnuan ended up agreeing without fully realizing it.

Today, the new emperor was enthroned, she personally witnessed little Dora who still couldn’t walk steadily, sitting on that throne symbolizing royal power.

The child was still young, despite being sensible, after a while, he grew impatient.

Thinking about how, at his tender age, he would have to deal with all those ministers with their own agendas,

returning to Ningxiang Hall, she began to reflect, wondering if this move was a mistake?

Pushing all responsibility to a little child while they went off to enjoy themselves was too unfair to their son.

But soon, this worry was consumed by a wolf-like passion.

For the past two months, her husband had rarely returned to the General Mansion, let alone had a chance to talk or do other things with him.

Now finally settled, once the couple met, it was like dry wood meeting a raging fire.

They tossed around all night before finally going to sleep.

Just as she fell asleep, Yun Chunnuan heard the child’s cries, unable to sleep peacefully again.

"No, I must go check on Dora." Yun Chunnuan grabbed a middle garment and threw it over herself, "Husband, you go to sleep first. I’ll go through the Storage Ring Space so as not to disturb anyone..."

"Mother! Mother!"

Just as she spoke, she suddenly heard the child’s cries outside.

The couple exchanged a glance, and Yelyu Lie hurriedly grabbed his clothes.

"Princess, the little young master... Bah! Great King! The Great King refuses to sleep, crying and fussing one moment for grandmother, the next for mother, the maidservant really doesn’t know what to do!"

Outside the sleeping hall, Qiao’er’s voice sounded.

It’s only because of Qiao’er’s uninhibited nature that she dared bring the new king to Ningxiang Hall in the middle of the night.

Otherwise, no matter how much little Dora cried, which palace attendant would dare disturb the Mighty General?

The hall door opened, and Yun Chunnuan quickly took the baby from Qiao’er’s hands.

As soon as little Dora saw his mother, he piteously snuggled into her embrace, sobbing.

"Qiao’er, go rest in the side hall."

Having given this instruction, the hall door was closed by a palace attendant.

Qiao’er wandered outside the hall, completely bewildered.

That day, the fairy descending from the sky was a spectacle Qiao’er hadn’t seen, she only heard others mention it.

She still felt that Dora was the child of Princess’ elder sister from Great Xia.

He inexplicably became the son of the General and Princess, and inexplicably ascended the throne to become king.

Qiao’er had become the Chief Lady of the Palace Bureau...

She still didn’t understand how the little king cried for his mother, but as soon as the Princess held him, he stopped crying?

Inside the sleeping hall, Yun Chunnuan held the little baby in her arms, constantly comforting him.

Listening to the child’s pitiful sobbing, she felt increasingly guilty.

Once the baby’s emotions finally calmed down, Yun Chunnuan laid her son on the bed, gently stroking his little face, "Dora, do you not like being the Great King?"

The two of them had presumptuously handed the hot potato to their son without ever asking if he was willing.

They had always treated him as an eight-month-old baby, yet Dora’s intellect had long surpassed his age.

They should at least ask if he didn’t like it...

Yun Chunnuan glanced at Yelyu Lie.

This glance made Yelyu Lie shudder.

"Ascending the throne to become king can’t be a child’s play? Even if he doesn’t like it..."

"I wike it! Who said I don’t wike it, stinky daddy!"

Yelyu Lie’s words were abruptly cut off by an angry little baby voice...
