Just when Zhi Nai was drowsy, she suddenly heard Yan Xi speak.
"My wife..."
He pursed his lips, stopped moving, and spoke with some difficulty.
"Actually, it's okay to add more people to the harem."
As long as he knows that his wife likes him, that's enough.
Even though he was thinking this, he couldn't help but lower his eyes, feeling a sting in his heart.
The room was quiet for a moment, and just when he tightened his fingers uneasily, a small white paw stretched out.
Gardenia grabbed his hand and put it on her forehead again, then she adjusted her position consciously, lying in his arms and raising her head, her round eyes blinking, still a little confused.
"When did I say I wanted to take a concubine?"
Yan Xi's eyelashes trembled, but she still continued to massage her obediently, while testing carefully.
"I know my wife doesn't want to, but don't those ministers always bother you?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but lean down and hug her, his tone pitiful.
"If my wife wants to take a concubine, can she still come to my palace in the future? I don't want to see you with other people... I will be jealous."
The little girl sighed arrogantly when she heard this, put a hand on his shoulder, opened the distance between the two, then leaned forward and kissed the corner of his lips, with a depressed tone.
"But I really don't take concubines? Why don't you believe me?"
As he spoke, he remembered something again and spoke happily.
"Have I not told you yet that I will no longer be the queen soon?"
Um?
Yan Xi was stunned and repeated stupidly.
"Isn't it right?"
Gardenia gave him a strange look and nodded.
"Didn't I say it before? I'll only serve you for two years. I'll abdicate once the matter at hand is finished. Then I'll take you on a trip! I'm super rich!"
Yan Xi pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"So, you don't want to take concubines either?"
"Of course, leave this matter to the next queen to worry about."
The little girl was still gloating about her misfortune, when she was caught off guard and pulled into someone's arms, tightening her little by little.
She felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to struggle, but she heard the other person's muffled voice coming from the nape of her neck.
"My wife treats me so well."
Gardenia immediately forgot what she was going to do and raised her chin quite proudly.
"That is!"
She is the best boss in the world!
Today I also worked hard to dominate the heaven!
…
When they learned that His Majesty was about to abdicate, the officials had mixed emotions.
To say that they were shocked, that was certainly true, but it was not that they had not seen the other party blatantly delegating power to King Duan in the past two years. They originally thought it was some calculation, but they did not expect that they did not want to be the leader anymore.
This was the first time they met such an emperor.
But when the other party was in power, everything was handled well, the border was stable, the country was peaceful and the people were safe.
Apart from not wanting to fill the harem with people, the officials really had nothing to say.
It's good not to be sexually attracted to men, but if you plan to use the harem as an excuse, the officials won't be so happy.
He is not a grasshopper on a boat, he will be more or less defensive.
Therefore, when the decree was issued to order King Duan to succeed to the throne, some officials were even secretly happy.
Unlike the little girl, King Duan has many servants in his harem, which involves many family interests. If he ascends the throne, they will naturally benefit from it.
Let’s talk about King Duan’s mother clan, that can also lead to a lot of connections.
Nobles from aristocratic families intermarried with each other, and the emperor who had the leverage was naturally more favored by the officials.
As for other officials, seeing that King Duan seemed to be a wise king, they wisely did not choose to say anything.
