"Why refuse? It's just hunting. The late emperor is not feeling well and has not been to the hunting ground for many years. Your Majesty, you have been on the throne for more than half a month. It's time to go to the royal hunting ground. Otherwise, those animals will be too fat and strong to walk. The way to go."
Leng Yu frowned and looked at her,
"You know that's not what I meant."
Luo Lan looked at him as if he didn't understand,
"Then what do you mean, Your Majesty? Are you afraid that Princess Xingnan has other plans for you?"
Leng Yu's face suddenly dropped,
Luo Lan hurriedly explained softly,
"She wants Princess Xingnan to stay in Daning Kingdom. She doesn't know about it, not even the Second Princess. This is just the idea of the Emperor and the Eldest Princess of Nanping Kingdom. The Emperor doesn't have to avoid her deliberately. She is very I'm only seven years old, I won't take a fancy to an old man like you, the Emperor."
"Am I old?"
Leng Yu suddenly frowned and looked at her,
"Does the Queen think I am old?"
Luo Lan smiled slightly and nodded playfully,
"It's not old for me, but for a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, it must be old. By the way, the Second Emperor's Sister has left you six beautiful girls. You are going to turn over the cards tonight. Do you want to use them?" Are these showgirls here to prove whether you are old or not?"
Leng Yu looked at her with dark eyes and raised his brows slightly.
"The queen is waiting to sleep with you tonight, so why don't you try to see if I am still old?"
"Don't you want to try someone new, Your Majesty? You and I have been sleeping together for more than ten years, isn't Your Majesty tired of it?"
"here we go again?"
Leng Yu frowned. Ever since he took the throne, she always said some sour words to test him. Since she wants to be sour and jealous, let her eat it!
Thinking of this, he squinted his eyes slightly and looked at her evilly,
"Then I'll try it tonight. Anyway, I'm in a good mood and have good physical strength recently."
"you dare……"
Luo Lan looked at him with playful lips raised,
"Let me test you. Are you really evil?"
Leng Yu stood up from the chair, stepped forward and took her hand, looking at her affectionately,
"Now I just want to quickly stabilize the imperial court in Daning. I don't have any evil intentions. As for those palace maids, you are the master of the harem. Just watch the arrangements!"
Luo Lan raised her hand, lightly lifted his collar, looked at him with a deep look, and looked at him with a complicated expression.
"You are the emperor of Daning Kingdom, and you hold the supreme power of Daning Kingdom. Even if you want to own the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards, I, as the queen, cannot stop you. I have thought about it before. We have been living this kind of life in your eyes. Me, I only had you in my heart, but now you and I have different identities. I know that it would be unreasonable for me to ask you to fulfill the promise you made to me. Each of these beautiful ladies is beautiful and intelligent. If you want , it is also appropriate to choose two of them to accompany you to bed."
When she said this, she felt very sad, but she still pretended to be calm.
Ever since she saw those beautiful girls, she felt that she had lost the vitality in them. If they were allowed to hang around in front of Leng Yu all day long, it would inevitably make him feel itchy and intolerable. Instead of waiting until one day, Leng Yu After favoring one of them, she would know better, so she might as well take the initiative and make her position clear.
She knows better than anyone else that in this closed ancient world, it seems unrealistic to practice extravagant monogamy.
Leng Yu's face darkened, as if he was thinking about something. He did not directly respond to her words, but said softly:
"Let's discuss it later tonight when we turn over the cards. I'll handle the government affairs in the study first."
With these words, he let go of her hand, swung his clothes, and walked outside Fengyi Palace with long strides.
The sight of his back made her feel cold.
She didn't want to test him this time. She was speaking from her heart. Although Leng Yu had told her many times that he would not accept another woman as his concubine, and she was the only woman in the harem.
However, she still felt vaguely uneasy. She even felt that she was suffering from what people in her previous life called menopause.
At dusk, Qin Shun came to Leng Yu with the sign of the show girls.
"Your Majesty, please turn over the sign."
Leng Yu continued to bury his head at the desk and refused without raising his head:
"Let's all go back. I'll stay in the Yangxin Hall tonight."
"Your Majesty, Princess Yongning just came here to tell the servants that you should choose one of these beautiful girls to serve you in the Yangxin Palace..."
"presumptuous."
Leng Yu suddenly dropped the pen in his hand, raised his head and stared at him,
"Am I your master, or is she your master?"
"Of course it's you, the Emperor."
"It's good to know. You are the one who serves me. You don't have to listen to others in the future. You must be like Mr. Liu when he served the late emperor. You must know what the master is thinking. Know how to refuse when you should refuse. Know how to cater to when you should cater. These, Do you still need me to teach you?"
Qin Shun hurriedly bowed and replied:
"No need to teach me. I just rejected Princess Yongning, but...but I don't know the emperor's thoughts, so I dare not make a conclusion."
"Then you think I will sleep with these women first? Then I will dump them as concubines and let them compete for the throne in the harem? Do you want the queen to worry about these chores every day?"
"I don't know, old slave."
"Don't you know that the relationship between me and the queen is very deep? Don't you know why I am here today? Without the queen, I would have died countless times. Therefore, in my harem, there can only be one woman, the queen. You stay with me , there are some things that you must learn to block for me, and don’t ask me about everything. I can’t worry about national affairs, so how can I worry about these trivial matters?”
Qin Shun blinked his eyes hard several times, bowed cautiously and said:
"Old slave understands, old slave knows what to do next."
After saying this, he quietly retreated while holding the signs of those beautiful ladies.
Leng Yu took a long breath of relief.
He knew that Luo Lan was very conflicted now. She wanted to be loyal to her, but she was also afraid that he, the emperor, would be wronged.
But she didn't know that since she entered Prince Yu's Mansion and took good care of him, he was destined to have no room for other women in his heart.
The reason why he wanted to stay in Yangxin Hall tonight was because what she just said made him feel that she couldn't trust him at all. Since she doubted his feelings for her, he didn't want to explain too much and just calmed her down. It's time!
Fengyi Palace
A Cai muttered while taking off the hair accessories on Luo Lan's head.
"I just saw Qin Shun go to the royal study room with the signs of the beautiful ladies. Those beautiful ladies were all dressed up in fancy clothes. Do you really think that the emperor would look at their signs? One by one, I told them this morning What you said is really in vain, I have to go and give them a lecture tomorrow."
Luo Lan looked at herself in the bronze mirror and felt a little disappointed. She was not sure whether Leng Yu would read the signs of these palace ladies.
However, she still pretended to be relaxed and smiled.
"He is the emperor. Isn't it normal to turn over cards? Please stop nagging in front of my ears. Finish cleaning up quickly and go to bed early today. I haven't slept well in the past few days."
"But it was so good when you and the emperor were in Prince Yu's Mansion. Why didn't anyone rob the emperor when he was in the most difficult time? Now that he has become the emperor, these people have joined in."
"Today is different from the past. He is the emperor, so it is naturally different from before. Okay, you can go down, my ears are almost calloused."
Ah Cai took off the last hairpin from her hair, combed her hair again, and then quietly retreated.
When she was the only one left here, she stood up and was about to walk towards the bed when Ah Hong ran in hastily.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Hearing Ah Hong's call, Luo Lan frowned in displeasure and looked back at her.
"What are you screaming at this late at night? Is the sky falling?"
