Chapter 148 The Emperor's Name

"Madam, if you want to see them, how about I issue an order to summon them to stay in the palace for two days?"

Emperor Jingxuan got off the couch, leaned beside her, and said lightly.

Yun Wan held the letter in her hand and asked in surprise, "Is it okay?"

After casually glancing at the contents of the letter, Emperor Jingxuan raised his chin slightly and replied, "Of course, it's rare to see Madam so happy."

If it is impossible, he will make it possible.

"Then..." Yun Wan was about to agree, but suddenly stopped when she thought of something. She shook her head helplessly and said, "Forget it, let's not do it."

"My cousin's Spring Imperial Examination is approaching. You should be cautious and keep a low profile to avoid being attacked and unfairly criticized."

A good reputation is extremely important to students who are about to take the imperial examinations. If her cousin and aunt were summoned to the palace to see her, it would inevitably cause gossip and people would say that they were trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful, which would affect their morale and be detrimental to her cousin's preparations for the exams.

My cousin has always been unlucky, and this spring examination is crucial. Yun Wan doesn't want to affect his performance because of herself.

Emperor Jingxuan nodded without any reluctance. "Madam, what you said makes sense. May I know what your cousin's name is?"

Yun Wan: "My cousin's surname is Cen, and his name is Yuanzhou."

"Cen Yuanzhou." Emperor Jingxuan said it casually, and gave a rare compliment: "Riding the wind and waves, the boat that sails far and wide, it's a good name."

It was the first time he had ever praised someone's name in such a literary way. Yun Wan smiled and said, "My grandfather named my cousin with exactly this meaning. Your Majesty is very literary!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingxuan's brows relaxed and he coughed lightly.

Yun Wan's heart tightened, and she asked with concern, "Does the wound hurt again?"

Emperor Jingxuan shook his head and asked casually, "Madam, why don't you ask my name?"

Yun Wan was stunned for a moment, then met his slightly expectant gaze and asked as he wished, "What is your Majesty's name?"

Emperor Jingxuan stood with his hands behind his back, his chest slightly puffed out, and said calmly, "My surname is Qi, my generation name is Xuan, and my given name is Chang."

Qi Xuanchang?

Yun Wan muttered silently in his heart.

"Madam, please call me?"

The man named Qi Xuanchang cleared his throat and said seriously.

Yun Wan: "Is it okay?"

It is extremely disrespectful to call the emperor by his name.

Emperor Jingxuan nodded slightly, his jawline firm, "I forgive my wife."

"Qi, Qi Xuanchang?"

The first time he called it out, it was a little awkward, so Yun Wan stuttered and said, "Yongri Zhi Chang, meaning long-lasting daylight, bright and open, and comfortable, with a very good meaning."

"I chose it myself." Emperor Jingxuan curled his lips, with an unignorable sense of complacency between his brows.

"The late emperor named me 'Xuanying', hoping that I would be less noticeable than my two brothers, living an inconspicuous life, like a shadow hidden in the darkness, never seeing the light of day."

Thinking of the unpleasant memories, his brows suddenly frowned, and a sneer appeared on his thin lips: "I don't like it, so I changed it privately."

Including the fact that the first thing he did after ascending the throne was to break into the ancestral temple with a sword, pick up a pen and personally cross out his name on the imperial genealogy, changing it to the current one.

By the way, he also changed the names of his two older brothers to "dog" and "pig", which shows how much he hated them.

Yun Wan was stunned, but he was not surprised. This was indeed something he could do.

Feeling the strong hostility emanating from him, Yun Wan put down the letter in her hand, stretched out her arms to avoid his injuries, and lightly hugged his waist.

"If you don't like it, then don't like it. Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, you can call me whatever you want."

The gloom in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and the coldness on Emperor Jingxuan's face was like melting winter snow, and it became as gentle and warm as spring.

He lowered his head and pecked her eyebrows, nose tip, and lips, lightly and heavily, mixed with a hot and powerful breath.

The shoulder was obviously immobile, but the rest of the body was flexible.

He didn't stop until her lips were red and swollen after sucking them. He took a breath and said, "Since you won't summon them to the palace, Madam, please choose a sunny day to go out and meet them."

Yun Wan had exactly this intention.

Unfortunately, the weather was not good. For the next ten days, there was heavy and drizzling autumn rain, and the sky of the capital seemed to be covered with a layer of gray.

What we can feel firsthand is the biting cold after the autumn rain, and the coming of winter.

Fortunately, there were a lot of housework in the harem that Yun Wan needed to familiarize herself with, so these ten days of sunny weather were not too boring.

Before leaving the palace, Yun Wan was worried about what to wear.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of me wearing this dress to meet my aunt and others?" She asked Emperor Jingxuan while holding the honey-colored dress.

His injuries had almost healed, and Emperor Jingxuan was casually browsing a book at the moment. He turned his head and looked over when he heard this.

Just as he was about to speak, Yun Wan shook his head and denied it, "Never mind, this outfit seems a bit plain."

She immediately picked up a coral-red cross-collared pleated skirt and asked, "How about this one?"

"It seems too fancy." She frowned and muttered to herself, feeling conflicted.

Emperor Jingxuan threw away the book, propped up his legs, and said seriously, "Madam, you look beautiful in anything you wear."

He felt a little sad.

You're just going to meet your unlucky cousin, why dress up so carefully?

Yun Wan's ears turned red and a faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

Fuling Yueya, who was standing by, covered her lips with her hands and smiled, obviously she was used to it.

"You'd better wear this."

After choosing for a long time, Yun Wan finally picked a silver-red crabapple skirt with a moon-white stand-up collar thin jacket. The collar and cuffs were embellished with round and plump pearls, which made her look bright and noble when she wore it.

Her plain face was lightly powdered, outlining her delicate features. She was as beautiful as a peach or plum, and extremely gorgeous. Her every frown and smile was full of the most touching charm.

Emperor Jingxuan was silent for a while, then he made up his mind: "I have nothing to do today, so I will accompany my wife out of the palace."

Yun Wan frowned, "But your injury hasn't healed yet."

Emperor Jingxuan waved his hand and said, "It's fine now. Yesterday, the imperial physician said that staying indoors for a long time is not conducive to the recovery of the wound. It would be best to go out for a walk. I think it makes sense."

He left the palace for no other reason than to accelerate his recovery from his injuries.

Yun Wan: "If you show up, my aunt and cousin will be terrified."

Emperor Jingxuan: "No problem, I have a brilliant plan."

He called Jiang Fusheng, who came in holding a new set of clothes.

Yun Wan took a look and his eyelids twitched wildly.

If she remembered correctly, this outfit was the style of the commander of the imperial guards, right?

Commander Wei walked through.

After changing his clothes, Emperor Jingxuan held his head high and said with a dignified demeanor, "Today I am Wei Tong."

Yun Wan:.........

Sitting in the carriage leaving the palace, Yun Wan's mood gradually became lively, and she was particularly looking forward to meeting her relatives later.

The carriage passed through Zhuque Street and encountered a group of soldiers with swords surrounding a house, with many onlookers.

Yun Wan looked curiously through the gap in the carriage curtain. Emperor Jingxuan said, "They are confiscating the property."

Yun Wan: "What did they do wrong?"

Emperor Jingxuan: "You colluded with foreign enemies, sent letters to the Rong people, and revealed my whereabouts."

Yun Wan was stunned. "Are you saying that this injury was caused by the Rong people?"

"At least on the surface."

His eyes were dark and deep.

In other words, there are hidden secrets that are unknown to the public.

Yun Wan did not continue to ask.

Half an hour later, the carriage entered a clean alley and then stopped in front of a house.

Yun Wan couldn't wait to jump off the carriage and knock on the door.
