Chapter 504: Who dares to steal from my kitchen?

Chi Rui clenched his fists tightly under the table, took a deep breath and he said, "I don’t know what answer you seek to hear from my lips your majesty. I am simply a man that fell in love with the princess from the first moment I set my eyes on her. It was not easy getting someone like her to look my way, her favorite words to me back then were ’go away.’ I knew that she was out of my league, for crying out loud she is a beautiful princess and I am just_ a business man." He looked at Rize and he smiled affectionately, "I did not go away, I persevered and she finally looked my way. Now that I have her the only thing I expect from her is love. I want her to love me as much as I love her. I will respect her and her work, never getting in the way of her success and when we finally get married I hope to have her support as much as I will support her. I want a family too of course, children, all three of them if possible. That’s what I expect most from our marriage, family, love and support. As for wealth, I have two hands and two feet, I can earn that on my own just as I have been doing. As far as connections go, I have no desires on the throne or politics. I don’t know if my answers satisfy you your majesty but this is my truth."

"Aww Rui," Rize said and she covered her mouth to hide her wide smile.

"I am not fully satisfied." the emperor said and Chi Rui’s heart dampened a lot. The emperor could call off their relationship, is that what was going to happen next? "At some point if I call on you and ask you to run for an office or assign you one will you do it?"

"Daddy." Rize gasped.

"Your majesty." the empress’s voice expressed her shock as well.

"My daughter needs a man that will back her up strongly, so either you should become a billionaire like your brother-in-law Muyang or a politician that holds some power and authority. When enemies seek to weaken the crown, they target the feet first before getting to the head. I am the head and my children are the feet, my feet need to be protected tightly so that I remain strong too. You can do this easily because you have a sister that has life changing technology in her hands, Rize told me that you run at an incredible speed, my people have been keeping an eye on you and I have seen a few recordings of you running. You are incredibly fast, maybe the fastest man alive even and your older brother is incredibly strong. Apparently your sister has been holding out on me, she has only provided us with strength serums not speed serums."

"It’s still new your majesty, she has only three samples so far." he said exactly what Chi Lian told him to say if this came up. She must have known that the emperor had people spying on him.

"Sure, I will believe what you say, but my words still stand, either become incredibly wealthy or join politics. The choice is yours."

"Father please." Rize said in a pleading voice.

"I am protecting you." the emperor said to her, "Both of you, or do you think that if he marries you then those who seek to harm you will not harm him?"

Rize frowned and looked at her mother but the empress shook her head, beseeching her not to say any other word.

"I will not go against your marriage," the emperor said. "You can call for a meeting of the two families soon. After you give me your answer that is." he reminded Chi Rui. "If both options are not feasible then it will be best to end the relationship as soon as possible."

The royal butler returned with a grave face and whispered something to the emperor which enraged him.

"Who dares to steal from my royal kitchen?" he banged his fist on the table in anger.

"Investigations have started your majesty, the culprit will be caught soon." the royal butler said.

"What was stolen?" the empress asked curiously.

"The sweet honey buns and honey which the princess brought along with some other things." He replied.

"I will ask my sister-in-law for more, she loves me so much that she will not say no to me." Rize declared.

"I brought some in the gift bags, sweet honey buns, honey, and other things. I didn’t know what gifts to after all what can one bring the emperor that has everything." Chi Rui smiled nervously.

"No," the emperor smiled generously, "I like the farm produce from your house. I used to have migraines occasionally until my wife started buying lemon honey tea and herbal health tea from your sister’s shop. The migraines have become less frequent, by the way I think we have run out of rice because I was served normal rice for dinner yesterday. Tell your sister to increase the supply. What else did you bring for me?"

"I brought a smart home device which will not be on the market for two months at least. It’s only being used by people in our inner circle right now." Chi Rui was surprisingly feeling more comfortable after having a genuine conversation with the emperor and understanding his thoughts. No matter what was said, he was determined to marry Rize one way or another. He would seek his sister’s help and find ways to make more money. Perhaps filming their own movies would work. He had many scripts which his sister wanted to sell, if he could buy them from her and invest in them personally perhaps he would become a billionaire in two years."

As the unveiling of gifts started in the palace Muyang was setting off for work, leaving his wife in bed. He knew that she would probably not rise until noon, that’s what she told him she would do last night.

He went downstairs, greeted his family members and turned around to leave the house. "Mmm, Muyang won’t you have breakfast?" His mother asked.

"No," he looked at his watch, "I am a bit behind schedule, I will eat when I get to campus."

"What about your wife?" His mother looked at the stairs. "Did she not come down with you?"

"She must be exhausted." The old madam said, "Both Chi-Chi and Cherry went out last night. They must have had a lot of fun and are still exhausted. I think Cherry was drunk, I saw Ringo carrying her upstairs."

"Should we prepare hung over soup then?" His mother asked. "Aah, that Muchen did not even say anything about it to me and he just left with a small suitcase. I don’t think we are going to see him for two weeks, he aways does that. How can he leave his new bride behind?" She asked in a very tired voice as if her son’s behaviour exhausted her greatly. "What will the Jiang’s say if they hear this?"

"I am leaving." Muyang walked out of the house without commenting on the worries of his mother.

He Weili raised her fist and punched the air, "Look at him leaving as if the failure of his brother’s marriage is none of his business? Will it kill him to say ’I will talk to him?’ Between Muchen and Muyang I don’tknow who drives crazier in this house."

"The children will handle their own affairs, let us worry more about our great grandchildren." The old master said. What purpose would worrying serve except give them more grey hair?
