Yan Miaoling sighed again. As expected, none of the women in the palace were simple. With her emotional intelligence, which was not enough to make it in the workplace, she would definitely be cannon fodder if she went in.
The empress dowager, who was nearly sixty years old, looked kind and benevolent, but it was unexpected that she had experienced such hardships in her youth.
You can guess how many cruel methods were used in the process without thinking too much.
Xuanyuan Mingchen saw that the other person had begun to stare blankly again, and finally changed the subject and concluded, "Don't worry, I have no interest in the throne. If I really wanted to, I would have already possessed the conditions to usurp the throne. I have the support of the Queen Mother and the backing of King Xiaoyao... If you are interested..."
He reached out to touch the corner of her mouth, and Yan Miaoling subconsciously dodged.
Xuanyuan Mingchen didn't give her a chance, and wiped the tea leaves from the corner of her mouth with his fingers. "If you are interested, I can fully support you, but... please do your utmost to reduce internal friction and casualties. Especially when the enemy is eyeing us covetously..."
He didn't learn about his origins until he was fourteen. By then, he'd already spent years on the battlefield with the soldiers, experiencing life and death together. He'd personally experienced the cruelty of war and understood the importance of uniting against the enemy to defend the nation. He'd also developed feelings for his nominal father, the Emperor.
He was in a difficult position to disregard the lives of his soldiers and the rise and fall of the country in order to usurp the throne.
So, I didn't take action for a long time.
Yan Miaoling was amused by his serious expression. It's hard to change a person's core. This is precisely the charm of every male protagonist.
She left.
He didn't agree, didn't say anything more, and just left.
Xuanyuan Mingchen was extremely confused.
I confessed and I support it, but why does the girl still not agree?
It turns out that what the old soldier said is true, women are trouble?
After leaving the farmer's house, Yan Miaoling didn't return to the palace. Instead, she walked alone to the outskirts of the city, wandering through the woods. She was a fox, and being close to nature relaxed her.
She wore it in autumn, and now it is the time when the leaves fall and turn yellow.
The branches and leaves make a soothing and calming rustling sound underfoot.
The warm afternoon sun makes people feel lazy.
She was alone, found a fallen log, sat down, and pondered, her thoughts drifting away.
The scriptures she had copied kept flooding into her mind, bringing peace of mind, allowing her to think more rationally, and making her more content and cherishing...
Open your eyes and look around.
Blue sky and white clouds, abundant fruits, what a beautiful scenery, what a hard-earned life.
Compared to her life of searching alone in modern times, she is so happy after traveling through the book!
Compared to watching Douyin and fantasizing about handsome guys, she can get them at her fingertips now.
He rubbed his hands together, his lips curled up evilly.
But a certain idiot still didn't have the courage to take that step. He hugged his knees with his hands and buried his head on them, like a fleeing quail.
It makes someone who accidentally walks in feel both angry and amused.
I thought he had left, but who would have thought he was sitting here in a daze.
He understood that she was not looking down on him, she was just struggling with it.
A man who likes to play it straight, throws aside the rules of etiquette and decides to be brave for once in his quest to win his wife. Little one, that step, if you don't take it, I will!
After returning home, he changed into a military green corset. A certain prince transformed himself into a wild and powerful hunter, pretending to be hunting, and ran into someone again.
Draw the bow, shoot the arrow, the arrow flies out, and the deer calls.
"Hey, stop it!" Finally, a certain woman noticed. Feeling sorry for the deer, she accidentally said something to stop it...
The man seemed to have expended considerable effort to stop the arrow from shooting. He turned around. He was tall, with long legs and well-defined muscles. The headband on his head gave him a more unruly look.
The rolled-up sleeves revealed his tanned skin and toned muscles.
The whole person was far from the bravery and wisdom he usually showed on the battlefield.
Yan Miaoling, who was awakened, looked up and saw this. She admitted that she had been seduced.
Isn’t this a combination of a modern boss and a soldier?
Like a reality show star.
She loves to watch.
Xuanyuan Mingchen started acting like he had just seen someone, with a look of surprise on his face, "Ling'er, why are you here? I thought you were gone."
He shook off the pheasant he had just shot and said, "I can't go back to the city, and the food is too plain. I want to come out and have a bite!"
A certain woman was also dumbfounded, constantly falling into the trap, and asked with concern, "Why don't you go into the city?"
A certain man's words touched his heart, "Because, I promised someone that I would stay hidden here until the crisis is completely over."
This thoughtful side made the woman unable to suppress the joy in her heart, and her lips curled up.
She reached out her hand.
The man understood immediately, suppressed his joy, stepped forward, and pulled the man up.
It’s the perfect height difference again.
You are over 1.9 meters tall and I am 1.72 meters tall. We are a handsome man and a beautiful woman, just right.
Yan Miaoling's eyes were like water, and she asked seriously, "Do you mind that after being with me, we won't have children in the future?" She couldn't face the fact that after having a child and raising him until he was three years old, he would die.
She believed that if any mother had known the outcome earlier, she would not have been so irresponsible as to get pregnant with him.
Xuanyuan Mingchen was ecstatic at first, with stars in his eyes, "Are you finally willing to accept me?"
Then came the question, frowning slightly, "Why?" In ancient times, men, not to mention royal nobles, even ordinary people cared about continuing the family line.
But as the saying goes, it’s good to be young.
Young and impulsive, they think love is everything.
Feeling the light in her eyes dim, Xuanyuan Mingchen assumed Yan Miaoling was infertile. He shouldn't have said no. If there was no, then there was no. It wouldn't be bad if the two of them stayed together for the rest of their lives.
"As long as I can be with you, I can accept this."
Who would have thought that there was still a bomb behind? Yan Miaoling even had the idea of teasing him. She looked up at him again, the smile on her face very obvious. "Then do you mind... I can only give you one tenth of my heart?"
Xuanyuan Mingchen was initially surprised. Then he thought about how the Nine-Tailed Fox could split into ten. Then, thinking about the Night Owl in the North Territory, who constantly clung to him like a dead dog, and the patient and restrained Bai Muchen, he instantly understood.
Grinding teeth, "Do you want to accept someone else?" This is challenging a man's bottom line.
Not to mention the ancient times when men were respected, even in modern times, who can accept it?
Yan Miaoling lowered her eyes and nodded.
Let the other party choose.
It would be good if she could just give up because of this, and it would save her from the entanglement in her heart.
There are so many handsome guys in front of her, but she can't eat them, she said painfully.
"Why?" Xuanyuan Mingchen was so angry that his head hurt.
She doesn't look like a fickle woman, why is that?
Yan Miaoling shook off his hand and turned back, "Think about it carefully. I won't blame you no matter what you choose."
She could say it was to complete the mission, but she didn't want to.
She didn't want to mix their relationship with complicated motives, she wanted to try falling in love.
She didn't want them to approach her just for the mission.
So far, the only male protagonist who knows the full version of the mission is Bai Muchen. But he will definitely keep it a secret for her.
