"How is he young? He'll be twenty next year!"
He turned over, pulled her into his embrace, and continued boastfully.
"Speaking of Chenchen, he truly is the one I raised myself!"
"Among these sons, he's the most like me!!"
Xia Ruqing smiled.
"That's not true!"
"The Second Prince is great as well!"
"I've heard from Consort Cheng that he's managing tasks too!"
"With them helping you, you can finally rest well!"
Zhao Junyao unconsciously rubbed his sore neck and sighed.
"If only it were that easy!"
"Currently, except for Western Xia, which maintains good relations with us, all the neighboring countries are eyeing us viciously."
"If our Great Chu Dynasty shows the slightest weakness, they'd immediately pounce, tearing us apart until there's nothing left!"
Xia Ruqing shivered a little.
"It's not that extreme. Emperor, you're overthinking!"
"Even if they're unfriendly, with you here, our Great Chu Dynasty will be safe and sound!"
Zhao Junyao chuckled and patted her head.
