1593 How Could He Take It

“You’re being too humble, Princess. If it wasn’t for you, His Majesty would never rest,” Zhang Yu said and sighed. “Since His Majesty took the throne to the Yan Kingdom at nine years old, he had been hard at work with the imperial court all these years. He never once dared to slow down and would never take it seriously even when he got sick, and he would continue working. He isn’t made of iron. How could he take it if he continued being this way?”

Yaoyao was reminded of how Beitang You tried to work on the Palace Memorials after taking his medicine. It was just as how Zhang Yu had described it.

Beitang You put in a lot of effort and worked really hard.

However, he should rest when he was sick. How could he do without rest?

“His Majesty has had a hard life since he was born. He had remained homeless with me and struggled through life when one day, he was suddenly pushed to the throne. It’s not difficult to imagine how hard it was for him to adapt to it. Even though he was very young, he had never disappointed anyone. He had been through a lot just to stabilize his position as the Emperor and make sure the imperial court was well-governed. He had gone through a lot and worked long and hard. No one can imagine what he had gone through.”

“He had never dared to slow down even a little all this time and despite the Yan Kingdom being stabilized now, he still refuses to slow down. If you weren’t here today, Princess, His Majesty would never rest. He is only willing to listen to you, Princess,” Zhang Yu said as he looked at her gratefully.

Yaoyao felt slightly pained for Beitang You when she heard Zhang Yu talk about it.

Beitang You was a good Emperor, just like her father. Both of them worked hard for their countries and there were even times when her father would forget to have his meal when he got too busy. Only her mother would be able to make him take his meal at such a moment.

Great Shang was able to achieve what it had today because of her father’s efforts while the Yan Kingdom was a result of Beitang You’s hard work.

Both of them did not have an easy life, but they were both rare, wise rulers, and it was the people’s fortune to have such Emperors who worked hard for their country and people.

When she heard Zhang Yu praising her at this time, she felt a little embarrassed. “You’re much too kind, Uncle Zhang. Big Brother Beitang must have been really tired, which was why he was willing to rest. It’s not because of what I said.”

Zhang Yu said with feeling, “If His Majesty is able to marry a woman as kind and understanding as you, it would be the country’s fortune, as well as His Majesty’s.”

Yaoyao was a little speechless to hear the hidden meaning in his words. “You’re funny, Uncle Zhang. I’m not as good as you make me out to be. With Big Brother Beitang’s status and character, there would be no lack of good women waiting to get married to him.”

“Unfortunately, His Majesty isn’t interested in any of the women around him, which is why his marriage kept on getting delayed.” Zhang Yu brushed his beard with his hand and said with a smile.

“When the time is right, he’ll meet someone. You don’t need to worry about this too much, Uncle Zhang.” This was all Yaoyao could say.

“That’s true. He’ll meet someone when the time is right. May I ask you if His Majesty’s destiny has appeared?” Zhang Yu chuckled as he said.

Yaoyao felt extremely shy but composed herself to reply, “I think it would be faster for you to get an answer to His Majesty’s love life by praying to the temple.”

Zhang Yu nodded in agreement. “Your words have reminded me that I really do need to pay a visit to the matchmaker’s temple to ask about His Majesty’s love life.”

Yaoyao, “…”

The more Zhang Yu looked at her, the more he liked her. It would be a great fortune if His Majesty would be able to make her the Empress.

Even though he had purposely said those things to Yaoyao, he was not exaggerating because they were the truth.

His Majesty has had a hard life all these years.

He had watched His Majesty grow up at every step and always had a soft spot for him. All he hoped was for His Majesty’s wish to come true and marry his beloved Princess Yaoyao, and make her the Empress.
