The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 469: Ningxiao Extra (4)

From childhood to adulthood, he had heard of people with peculiar hobbies, even ignoring gossip and keeping male companions in their private residences.

However, he had never experienced it personally.

This was the first time someone brazenly brought such a person before him, forcing him to re-evaluate himself.

Could it be that he had shown signs of having a special hobby, leading to such a misunderstanding?

No way!

Qi Xiao felt he was behaving quite normally; it was those who let their imaginations run wild who were abnormal.

It seemed that the previous lesson wasn’t enough; these people didn’t learn nor did they take it to heart. He couldn’t let them continue to misbehave.

"General, I’ve been waiting for you!"

The person on the bed had no idea what Qi Xiao was thinking in such a short moment and kept beckoning to him recklessly.

Qi Xiao felt a shiver of disgust, goosebumps all over.

"General!"

After another call, Qi Xiao angrily rebuked, "Shut up."

Immediately after, Qi Xiao severely dealt with the two lieutenants who had brought this person in.

Each was punished with thirty strokes, and a demerit was recorded.

With these thirty strokes, even the strongest lieutenant was left half-dead, and any dreamed promotion opportunities were completely ruined.

After this, they had no chance of promotion ever again.

Qi Xiao detested them.

Qi Xiao also found replacements for them.

This served as a warning to others, ensuring no one dared to act recklessly again.

Qi Xiao’s days became completely peaceful, with no one sending any nonsense people his way anymore; everyone just did their jobs.

But one day, he overheard a conversation.

"Look at our General Qi, he is so ascetic, doesn’t like women, and has no special hobbies. Could he be impotent?"

"How can a man be so ascetic? Unless he’s impotent!"

"It’s a pity for General Qi; he’s got family background, status, and good looks, yet he’s impotent. No wonder those who tried to send people to him got reprimanded or punished. Alas, it proves that saying, no man is willing to uncover such an unseemly scar!"

"General Qi is so pitiful!"

Mysteriously turned into a pitiful figure, Qi Xiao was really speechless, "......"

Also, you are impotent.

Since it was a few soldiers gossiping idly, being too petty about it would seem narrow-minded.

Moreover, as a general, Qi Xiao really didn’t need to care about such things.

Qi Xiao let it pass without saying much, but it inevitably stirred some ripples in his mind.

He thought carefully, realizing he really didn’t have those kinds of needs, not even much desire. But was it due to being too busy with military duties to think about such things? Or was he really incapable?

No, a man cannot be incapable.

Once Qi Xiao realized this, he casually flipped through a book that was popular among men in the camp, checking his own capabilities... and unknowingly, he learned a lot.

...

After listening to Qi Xiao recount his so-called romantic past, which was nonexistent over the past three years, and yet was elaborated by others, Jun Ning nearly rolled on the bed laughing.

"Xiao Er, really, were you really thought to be impotent?"

"What kind of people are they, so hilarious."

Qi Xiao didn’t look pleased upon hearing Jun Ning’s words, gloomily nodded, and replied with a grunt.

"You never explained? Letting them misunderstand?" Jun Ning felt a little sorry.

Qi Xiao replied indifferently, "Hmm, I didn’t explain."

"Why not explain? Such matters can really hurt a man’s dignity."

Qi Xiao waved his hand, seeming indifferent, "Their misunderstanding works well, then I don’t have to deal with the men and women forced upon me."

Qi Xiao seemed clearly fed up with such things, "I don’t know why, but whenever I see those fawning people, I get particularly irritated."

Jun Ning thought for a moment and said, "You’ve inherited this from Uncle Qi. Back in the day, Uncle Qi especially disliked fawning women approaching him; he only liked Mother."

"They were a devoted couple for many years."

"It’s just that, unfortunately, the heavens didn’t favor them, and the two lovers passed away early..."

Speaking of this, a bit of sadness grew between the two. They didn’t talk much more for the rest of the night, and Qi Xiao held Jun Ning as they slept.

Before dawn the next day, Jun Ning got up to wash and dress, preparing to attend court.

Although Qi Xiao was still asleep, the noise woke him, and he got up as well.

"Ah Ning, I’ll go with you!"

Jun Ning said, "No need, take a good rest these few days, and we’ll talk once you’ve recovered."

It was a natural expression of concern, but Qi Xiao managed to give it a deeper meaning, grabbing Jun Ning’s hand and saying ambiguously, "You... are so eager for me to recover?"

Jun Ning understood his underlying meaning, "... Be serious."

"I’m being serious." Qi Xiao looked innocent, "It’s just that I don’t know what Ah Ning is thinking of?"

How dare he ask?

Jun Ning coughed twice and gave Qi Xiao a warning look, signaling that it was enough, as there were attendants around, and he wasn’t allowed to talk nonsense.

"Alright!" Qi Xiao stopped teasing Jun Ning, held Jun Ning’s hand, and looking at Jun Ning’s high-neck collar, smiled and said, "Then I’ll wait for you to come back."

"Okay."

Qi Xiao: "When you return, we’ll continue what we talked about last night."

Jun Ning felt his ears heat up, "Still not being honest? Want to call the Imperial Physician?"

"Ah Ning, where is your mind going? Xiao Er is saying that when you return, I’ll continue telling you about my battlefield stories." Qi Xiao said, "I still have plenty to share with you. Are you tired of Xiao Er so soon? Don’t want to listen anymore?"

"No, stop talking nonsense."

After Jun Ning spoke, it was almost time, so she couldn’t delay any longer and went to attend court.

Today’s court session did not include any major matters, only minor issues that were quickly discussed and resolved.

When Jun Ning returned to the Imperial Study Room after court, the Palace Attendant saw her hurried pace and asked puzzledly, "Your Majesty, are you unwell? Need to relieve yourself urgently?"

"No."

Then why are you walking so fast, Your Majesty?

Several Palace Attendants following Jun Ning had difficulty keeping up and had to jog.

But none of them dared to speak up.

If the Emperor walked fast, they must be perceptive and hurry up as well.

After Jun Ning arrived at the Imperial Study Room, breakfast was already set as usual.

She looked around the Imperial Study Room and didn’t see Qi Xiao, thinking he might still be at Panlong Palace waiting, so she sent someone to fetch him.

As soon as the person left, Qi Xiao appeared.

"Ah Ning, you miss me so much?" Qi Xiao embraced Jun Ning from behind.

The eunuchs and Palace Attendants serving in the Imperial Study Room saw this and quickly and discreetly withdrew.
