“Prince Rui.” Pei Lang held the wine cup and said with a smile, “Now that you’ve completed the great cause and are about to ascend the throne, you will be surrounded by beauties in the future. However, I still have to remind you not to do anything you would regret.” His voice was slightly low. “If you do anything regretful, you won’t have a chance to make up for it in this life. Living in regret every day is the greatest torture one can suffer.”

Xie Jingxing looked at him thoughtfully and asked, “Have you ever done anything you regretted?”

“Once. I spent my entire life trying to salvage the past. Although I managed to salvage some of it, the past can never be fixed.” Pei Lang sighed.

The two of them fell silent. At this moment, Nanny Tao rushed over. When she saw Xie Jingxing and Pei Lang drinking, she said awkwardly, “Your Highness, the two young princes are crying non-stop. There’s nothing the nannies can do. You’d better go and take a look.”

Chu Yi and Shi Wu were used to being put to sleep by Xie Jingxing every day. No matter how others tried to coax them, they couldn’t listen, which was strange because Shen Miao was very calm and wouldn’t cause trouble for anyone. Before Xie Jingxing returned, they were sensible, but as soon as Xie Jingxing returned, they grew temperamental quickly. Fortunately, Xie Jingxing was patient with his children. If it were any other young father, they would probably have long quit.

Xie Jingxing stood up and said, “I’ll go and take a look.” Suddenly, he thought of something and turned to look at Pei Lang. He stared at him and said, “You’re quite an interesting person. Thank you for your reminder.” He drank the remaining wine in the wine glass and said, “I would never do anything I would regret. You’re thinking too much.”

Xie Jingxing and Nanny Tao left. Looking at their backs, Pei Lang shook his head and muttered in a low voice, “Am I thinking too much?” His expression gradually became sad. “Clearly, you are not giving me any chance to snatch her away…”

On the day Xie Jingxing ascended the throne, the sky was bright and the sun was warm. He officially became Emperor Xiao Jing.

In the throne room decorated with coiling dragons, hundreds of officials were kneeling and the young emperor sat on the throne in a golden dragon robe. The golden robe was carefully embroidered with plates and dragon patterns. The corners of the robe were fine and exquisite, looking majestic and dazzling.

He was peerlessly handsome and had a lazy smile on his face, looking nothing quite like his brother and father, but when his gaze swept across the thorne room, it sent a chill down everyone’s spine.

No one dared to underestimate this young emperor. Although he was the youngest person to ascend the throne in the history of the Daliang Dynasty, he had been to the battlefield and slaughtered the generals of the State of Qin and Ming Qi.

The edict was announced to the world, and the imperial jade seal was passed down to him. From now on, the Daliang Dynasty would welcome a new master.

After the formality was over, he unexpectedly walked to the side. The officials did not dare to look up until they heard the emperor’s voice. “Crown the empress.”

Everyone knew that Princess Consort Rui was in a deep coma. How could she be crowned? They looked up and saw the young emperor carrying the woman and placing her carefully on the empress’s throne, as it she was a rare treasure.

Apart from Gao Yang, Ji Yushu, and a few others, the rest of the officials looked shocked. Someone went forward and said, “Your Majesty, you must not!”

“Oh?” Emperor Xiao Jing turned around and looked at him. He smiled and said,

“Why not?”

“She hasn’t woken up yet.. How can the empress of a country be unconscious?”
