Lin Chunhuan, as the ace strategist of the Quick Transmigration Bureau, is just one last reincarnation away from accumulating enough points to return to the real world.
But this final one... ...
"I dare not, but... I wonder what kind of ceremony and ceremonial procession the Emperor wishes to use to welcome Miss Ah Huan into the palace?"
The change in the Regent's expression was even faster than the face-changing in Sichuan Opera.
It’s not that no one can see it, it’s just that no one will expose it.
However, this question did make the emperor feel a little troubled. He looked up at Lin Chunhuan, then looked at the regent, and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair, "The concubine system."
Concubine system.
The corner of the Regent's eye twitched for a moment, but he didn't say anything else.
In the past two years, the emperor has been willful and reckless, and no new people have been admitted to the harem, so there are not many people in the harem. The daughter of the general sits in the East Palace and is the mother of the country. The daughter of the prime minister is the Shufei, and the daughter of the Minister of Works is the Guipin. These three people all follow the emperor in the palace, and there are only these three high-ranking concubines.
Furthermore, there was a selection of concubines from the public in the year the emperor ascended the throne, and a total of six people were selected.
Among them is a concubine and a beauty. Apart from these two, the other two imperial concubines, Zhao Xun and Yu Xun, have never served the emperor in bed.
Compared to others, the current emperor's harem is already very clean. If it weren't for the existence of these women who stabilized the harem of the previous dynasty, he wouldn't have to be so depressed!
However, due to the emperor's willfulness, there were no children in the harem, and people's hearts were gradually shaken.
At this time, the emperor wants to welcome a prostitute into the palace as a concubine?
The Regent subtly suppressed the upward curve of his lips. If those three women were truly disheartened...
"My lord, I obey the order."
The Regent came and went quickly. If it weren't for the mess that Hongxiu Tower is in now, everything would seem as if nothing had happened, like a dream.
However, Lin Chunhuan knew that the Regent had not left and would never leave unless he personally brought the emperor back to the palace. She knew this, and the emperor naturally knew it too.
As soon as the regent left, the emperor's face immediately turned red. He didn't even dare to look at Lin Chunhuan directly. His handsome face turned slightly red.
As for Lin Chunhuan, he tightened his monk's robe and sat on the ground helplessly. The moment the emperor finally mustered up the courage to look over, tears fell from his eyes.
When a beauty sheds tears, every drop hits the heart of the person in front of her.
Upon seeing this, Mother Zhuang hurried forward, grasped Lin Chunhuan's shoulders, and knelt respectfully before the emperor, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Ah Huan, Ah Huan is just frightened. She has absolutely no intention of going against your will!"
Mother Zhuang was obviously a little anxious. She looked at Lin Chunhuan with eyes full of anxiety and heartache. "It is Ah Huan's blessing to be favored by the emperor and to enter the palace as a queen. When she recovers, she will definitely be grateful to you!"
"Mother Zhuang, there's no need to do this." The emperor took a deep breath and slightly turned sideways to avoid Mother Zhuang's kneeling.
It’s not that he felt he couldn’t bear it, but he was keenly aware that Mother Zhuang must be very important to Lin Chunhuan.
"I... Today's measure is just a temporary solution. If, if Ah Huan doesn't come to the palace, when I leave here, the emperor's uncle may not let you go."
"You, you guys, don't be like this. Miss Huan has already told me that you are all good people. I know everything..."
For some reason, the emperor felt that he was becoming less and less confident the more he spoke, and finally he just cast a somewhat dazed gaze on Lin Chunhuan. He could feel his heart beating.
But he had no idea what Lin Chunhuan was thinking.
He was even afraid that his presumptuous decision would disappoint her. At this moment, he seemed to have become that embarrassed little monk again.
Lin Chunhuan pretended not to notice this and just lowered his head quietly.
"Miss Ah Huan, I..."
When the emperor spoke again, Lin Chunhuan raised his head, his eyes filled with tiny starlight, so fragile that they seemed like they would break at the slightest touch.
She bit her lip and pulled her monk's robe tighter. "My body has been seen by His Majesty. If His Majesty doesn't want me, I, I..."
"No! No!" The emperor swallowed silently.
When Lin Chunhuan said this, the scene just now instantly emerged in his mind: jade-white skin, slender legs...
The emperor shook his head in panic, trying to get rid of these images from his mind, but he couldn't. The more he forced himself not to think about it, the clearer the images became.
He didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Afu at the beginning, but the emperor knew very well that he had never had such a strong possessiveness when he was with Afu!
The woman in front of him can only be his!
Absolutely, no one can get involved!
The so-called protection of Hongxiu Tower was just a cover. The fact was, when he saw the Regent approaching Lin Chunhuan step by step, endless anger surged in his heart.
Such anger made him want to hide the woman in front of him in a place where no one could touch her.
There is no place more suitable than the harem for such a place.
"Miss Ah Huan, please don't say that." The emperor took a deep breath, the embarrassment and purity on his face completely concealing the darkness in his heart. "As long as you are willing, from now on, you will be my wife."
Seeing Lin Chunhuan nod slightly, although her body was still trembling, and although her eyes still hid the fear after the drastic change, it didn't matter, the emperor didn't care at all.
He knew that he had gotten what he wanted, and a smile appeared on his face. "The Regent is still outside. I have to go."
"Don't worry, there will be people here to protect you. Tomorrow morning, the imperial edict and ceremonial guards will come to pick you up."
Lin Chunhuan did not respond to the tight grip on his shoulders until the emperor walked out of Hongxiu Tower. The grievance and fear in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
She loosened her hands, not caring at all whether her monk's robes were untied or whether her skin was exposed.
"Ah Huan...you..."
The change in the people around her in such a short moment surprised Zhuang's mother. Knowing that she was a smart person, Lin Chunhuan didn't explain too much and interrupted her without saying anything. "Mom, the building is very chaotic right now. You should comfort the sisters first. I'm tired today. I'll go back and rest first."
Lin Chunhuan spoke calmly and rationally, without showing any sign of weakness from earlier.
Mother Zhuang nodded woodenly.
When he returned to his room, Lin Chunhuan was not surprised to see Sayuri follow him in. He smiled and reached out to touch her hair, "Are you scared?"
"Sister Huan, I'm not afraid."
Unexpectedly, Sayuri's reaction surprised Lin Chunhuan.
But Sayuri continued, "Sister Huan, I want to follow you into the palace."
"You want to go to the palace too?" Lin Chunhuan's eyes lit up for a moment, but he still asked, "Why? That's not a safe place. You might be eaten alive by others there. Aren't you afraid?"
