Being Emperor Is Too Pathetic!

Watching Su Xian stroll ahead with three flowers on his back, Yu Qianxing's eyelids twitched, his gaze filled with disbelief.

Big Brother!

When people came Bearing Thorns to Apologize, they carried actual thorns!

And you?

You were carrying freaking flowers!!

Were you sure you had come to apologize and not confess your love?!

"Commander Yu, when we see my Old Dad later, remember to report everything truthfully!"

"I only watched some dancing at Qingya Courtyard. I didn't do anything else." Su Xian could not help turning back to remind him.

At those words, Yu Qianxing's mouth twitched sharply, but he said nothing.

Freaking hell!

You had already gone to Qingya Courtyard, and you still claimed you did nothing?!

What next?

Were you going to bring an imperial grandson back from Qingya Courtyard in a few days and anger His Majesty to death before you realized you had done wrong?!

"Big Brother, how could you be so foolish!"

The moment they entered the Imperial Palace, an impassioned voice rang out beside them. A stern-faced youth then strode swiftly over.

"Big Brother, as the First Prince, how could you go to a place like that? Aren't you afraid Imperial Father will become dissatisfied with you?!"

The youth wore light armor and resembled Xue Qinghe. His face was filled with worry.

Xue Wuji!

Xue Qinghe's second younger brother. Since childhood, he had been a battle maniac with exceptional cultivation talent.

Su Xian immediately shouted in displeasure, "Second Brother, listen to yourself. Does that sound like something a human would say?!"

What?

Xue Wuji's eyes widened as he stared incredulously at Xue Qinghe, who had just cursed.

Damn!

I was thinking about your well-being, so how were you turning around and blaming me?!

"Big Brother, are you all right lately?" Xue Wuji scrutinized Su Xian for a moment before frowning.

"What could possibly be wrong with me?!"

Su Xian curled his lip and said unhappily, "Is this the time for you to worry about me? Can't you do something that requires a brain?!"

Fuck!

How did I not have a brain?!

Seeing Xue Qinghe's punchable expression, Xue Wuji clenched his fists, about to lose his temper.

But then he considered that his Big Brother might have another plan that he had failed to understand. Xue Wuji relaxed his fists and lowered his voice.

"Big Brother, if there's anything you need, just tell me. I guarantee I'll handle it properly and do my best to get Imperial Father to release you."

Thud!

"Ow! Big Brother, why did you hit me?!" Xue Wuji hurriedly clutched his forehead in pain, glaring at Su Xian indignantly.

"Look at the things you're doing! Are those things a person should do?!"

Seeing that Xue Wuji still had not come to his senses, Su Xian was overcome with grief and indignation.

Under Xue Wuji's baffled gaze, he laid out the stakes involved.

"Tell me, you're the Second Prince too, right? Can't you have a little ambition?!"

"If your Big Brother falls from power, the old man will definitely choose an heir from you two in the future."

"You've got a fifty percent chance of becoming Emperor! Why don't you know how to cherish it?!"

"And you even came here to plead for me? Is there something wrong with your fucking brain?!"

"Instead of taking this opportunity to stomp on me and make sure I can never rise again, how can you call yourself worthy of that dragon robe you're wearing?!"

Su Xian felt deeply pained. This foolish little brother had no awareness whatsoever of what it meant to be a Prince.

Wasn't the Imperial Throne appealing?

Look at Yongzheng, then look at Xuanwu Gate, then look at Zhu Di. That was what a Prince ought to do!

Ah! Sorry, he did not know about any of that. It was a little beyond the syllabus.

"So when we go in later, remember to properly list my faults. The harsher, the better. Don't show me any mercy."

Seeing Xue Wuji standing there dazed as if doubting his entire life, Su Xian patted him on the shoulder and kindly reminded him.

As for Yu Qianxing beside them, he was completely dumbfounded, staring at Su Xian with his mouth agape.

Fuck!

The First Prince was actually teaching the Second Prince how to trample on him and rise to power?!

He was telling his deeply affectionate younger brother to stab him in the back?!

Damn it! The amount of information in that was too much!

What a ruthless man!

Unbelievably ruthless!!

On the verge of tears, Yu Qianxing wanted to cover his ears and pretend he had heard nothing.

But damn it, he had heard every single word!

Sob, sob, sob~

"Big Brother, you're joking with me, right?!"

His body hair stood on end, and his horrified face trembled violently as Xue Wuji asked in disbelief.

"Who the fuck has time to joke with you?! Remember to organize your words properly. Don't let your Big Brother look down on you."

Su Xian smacked Xue Wuji on the forehead again and snapped irritably.

He did not want to be Crown Prince, much less Emperor. Only by staying away from high-risk professions could he protect his physical and mental health.

What was so good about being Emperor?

You woke earlier than chickens and slept later than dogs. Who knew when you might suddenly drop dead from overwork!

When nothing was happening, you had to guard against assassination. When something was happening, it gave you a headache.

In short, your entire life was spent trembling in fear!

As for the Emperor's supreme authority?

Heh heh... if this were ancient times, Su Xian might have been somewhat tempted.

But on Douluo Continent...

Pah! The Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire was more like a decoration...

Spirit Hall stood alone above all others, while the Empire had to rely on the Upper Three Sects. The Lower Four Sects also depended on Spirit Hall and did not give a damn about you.

Even the five kings paid lip service while secretly defecting to the enemy.

What supreme authority?!

You could only order ordinary people around. Even a Platinum Bishop from Spirit Hall dared to talk back to you. What was there to be proud of?!

Besides the Emperor's authority, all that remained were the three palaces and six courtyards.

(⊙o⊙) What?

Three palaces and six courtyards?!

It would have been better not to mention that. The moment it came up, Su Xian found it even more unbelievable.

The Emperor's harem was nominally said to have three palaces and six courtyards, but in reality, it only consisted of wives and concubines.

Take his Old Dad, for example. He only had three wives, and he had only dared marry the other two aunts after his mother gave her permission.

The entire history of Douluo was a history of henpecked husbands. Forget three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two consorts!

All things considered, being a prince was the best choice. He did not have lofty ambitions; he only wanted to leisurely live out his days in another world.

That way, he would not need to worry about Qian Renxue and Spirit Hall making a move against him, and he could slowly warm her heart.

To achieve that goal, for the sake of a happy and fulfilling life in the future, Su Xian felt he needed to work hard!

Mm!

Time to put in some effort!!

"Who are you planning to look down on? Care to tell Imperial Father?"

Just as Su Xian was smugly pleased with himself, an icy voice suddenly exploded beside his ear, startling him.

Su Xian:...

Imperial Father?!

Fuck me!!

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Greetings, Imperial Father!"

Seeing Xue Wuji and Yu Qianxing bow, the last shred of fantasy in Su Xian's heart shattered.

"Heh heh... Old Dad, when did you get here? Why didn't you tell me?"

His stiff smile was filled with helplessness as Su Xian turned around awkwardly.

"I haven't been here long. I only arrived in time to watch Wuji come over."

Xue Ye stared at Su Xian with a calm, unreadable expression, as though nothing had happened, making it impossible to guess his current mood.

Su Xian:...

Sob, sob, sob~

This wasn't long?!

Did you think it would only count as long if you had gone on a stroll through Qingya Courtyard with me?

How should he deal with being caught by his Emperor father while teaching his kind younger brother how to ruthlessly fight for the throne? Waiting online, he was really in a hurry!

Sob, sob, sob~ This was too hard!
