Sit or you sit on my lap
The Lord of Celestials sat with his legs crossed at the knees, his left leg over his right swinging as he chuckled lightly. The fact that he hadn't boiled over like a teapot was the most concerning. It meant his request would be excessive.2
His arm resting on the armrest he said, "I can get off this seat under one condition. That's if he," pointing at Rui Fei, "apologizes to me."
"This...," spoke Huishe Nan fairly certain that his grandson would not apologize. Even he would have done what Rui Fei did if his wife was asked to call someone that. If his grandson wasn't going to apologize then they might as well draw their weapons and fight to their deaths. Huishe would not and could not tolerate someone making moves on their spouses.
Ji Yao held on to Rui Fei's hand tightly. Even he wouldn't let his husband apologize. Who would? As mentioned before you talk shit about someone's wife you get slapped in the face in public.
Ji Yao spoke up immediately in a resolute tone saying, "He is not going to apologize."
Celestials, "....."
Huishe Xiyue, "....."
Now that bae had spoken Rui Fei calmed down a little. He was afraid that Ji Yao would ask him to apologize which would undoubtedly be a great test of their relationship.
Surprisingly, the robber on the dragon throne didn't make a fuss. In fact, he smiled while staring at Rui Fei with some unknown intent. Instead of being called the Lord of the Celestials, he should be addressed as the Lord of Mischief. Oh, wait that's Loki's title, right?..... My bad Loki is the God of Mischief so that would make the Lord of the Celestials a direct descendant of the God of Mischief.
In conclusion, he just wanted to start shit for no apparent reason. He wanted to poke and poke at the hornet's nest until something came out. The gaze he used to stare at Rui Fei was like saying, "This is just the beginning you little pufferfish."
"Okay, I will listen to Ya Ya and get off someone's booster seat. Like we discussed last night I will always listen to you," he said before outrightly standing up like he was the most generous person giving in to a kid.
Shing! Was the sound of Rui Fei's double-bladed sword extending like he was ready to slice and dice a certain someone.
Ji Yao held his hand tightly as a soothing amount of seraphic energy flowed out of his body into Rui Fei's calming him down. The crowd curled up like quills suddenly peaked their ears to hear the gossip. What exactly did this scandalous pair discuss last night? Was the little half breed Huishe already wearing a green hat before the honeymoon period was over?
Everyone had their little speculations but only a handful knew that this Lord was spouting nonsense. Anyone with an average EQ could tell he was provoking Rui Fei as for what reason, it was yet to be determined.
Rui Fei also knew that nothing was going on between the two and whatever they discussed the previous night had absolutely nothing to do with his actions right now.
Despite knowing this he still wanted to kill him. He wanted to drain all of his power and watch him die slowly in the same way he killed his father. Ji Yao was his bottom line and this celestial kept on poking at it endlessly.
Ji Yao pulled Rui Fei over and let him sit down where he was supposed to but Rui Fei didn't want to. He wanted Ji Yao to sit there so he whispered, "You sit. I will stand beside you."
Ji Yao who knew that he wasn't meant to sit on this seat stared back at him. The two wordlessly stared at each other for a while with Rui Fei's hand stretched out towards the seat. Having figured out what was happening the prime ministers walked over before kowtowing to Rui Fei.
To be honest, they would have prefered it if someone else could inherit the throne. But based on what they knew about Rui Yewan, he was his older brother's little follower and Rui Pianzi was too frivolous and wanton to sit on this throne.
Sure, they could have a female emperor like in history but Rui Li was the laziest of all four. She would rather spend her days reading unique romance stories while basking in the sun.
How did they know all this information? It was because they had done their research. A couple of cups of serpent's kiss and the crew of the Concord spilt the details. If Ji Wen found out he would surely ban alcohol.
This left the prime ministers with no other choice but to pick Rui Fei. He came with a lot of baggage but at least he could handle the burden that came with the throne.
Yes, they did think of supporting someone else to ascend the throne but what the continent of Hyesong needed right now was a figure as powerful as Rui Fei.
"Your highness this, this servant thinks it seems a bit inappropriate," spoke one of them who was brave enough to speak for the rest of them.
"I just want to say that that man right there has balls," whispered Xunshi Zhe tossing some melon seeds into his mouth.
Big Hei dug his big fingers into that pouch of snacks while echoing in agreement, "Yes, very big balls."
"More like stupid big balls. He clearly has a death wish," replied Old Du wondering if it was too late to open up bets on how Rui Fei was going to deal with this mouthy bastard.
"This should be one of the stupidest ways to die, right?" chimed in Zhang Ci feeling like one of the grown-ups.
"More like a thousand ways to die by Rui Fei's hand," said Zhang Li right before the person was sent flying out of the main hall. After that, no one dared to speak nonsense. I mean come on, this continent had long been chaotic with a blurred line on the palace rules. At this point, it didn't matter who sat where. It was good enough if there wasn't war.
Ji Yao's gaze followed the figure of the man flying across the hall only for his chin to be pulled back. "Sit," said Rui Fei his deep voice laced with a hint of doting that had Huishe Shushi suppressing a smile from all the dog food. She regretted not being a fan sooner. This was simply too good.
"It's either you sit or I sit and you sit on my lap. Take your pick?" he said again only for Ji Yao's legs to weaken at the knees. So domineering and sexy. If it weren't that he was afraid to blind everyone here he would have sat down right on Rui Fei's lap.
