Late at night, Zuo Yexuan tossed and turned, sleeping very uneasily.
She dreamed of some old memories.
I dreamed about my work, parents, friends in my past life...
I dreamed that I was burned to death in a fire.
I dreamed that I was traveling through a book and grew from a babbling child into a graceful young lady.
First love was green and hazy. Even though she was a carefree person, she could only hide her thoughts in the stars and send them to the man who was like a banished immortal.
She was nervous, excited, and filled with love and joy.
But I received a rejection letter from him.
In the letter, he told himself clearly that he didn't like her.
What he hated most since he was a child was himself.
She didn't know what she was thinking as she finished reading the letter.
All she knew was that she was hugging the quilt, crying silently, the memories replaying over and over again, her tears soaking her bed curtains...
The next day, the weather was fine.
Zuo Yexuan rubbed her red and swollen eyes.
"Oh my god, why did I dream about the old things again?" Zuo Yexuan stretched and frowned.
She briefly recalled her dream and couldn't help laughing and shaking her head.
"Zuo Yexuan, you are such a loser."
"Isn't it just a confession and rejection? After all these years, you still refuse to let it go. This is a bit unlike you."
Zuo Yexuan shook her head, trying to get rid of these thoughts.
"Xiaotao? Xiaotao?" Zuo Yexuan called out repeatedly, but there was no sign of Xiaotao.
She stood up and walked to the window, and happened to see two people reluctant to leave in the distance.
Isn’t it Xiaotao and the imperial guard Lin Feng?
At this moment, Lin Feng was stuffing a large bag into Xiao Tao's arms. Xiao Tao's face was as red as a rose, and she was shaking her head. At the end, I don't know what Lin Feng said, but Xiao Tao's ears blushed and she glanced at Lin Feng coquettishly...
Zuo Yexuan: Well, I’m forced to eat some dog food so early in the morning.
Zuo Yexuan finished washing up and ate breakfast boredly.
Suddenly, the voice of the eunuch drake was heard outside.
"The Emperor has arrived~"
Zuo Yexuan's hand holding the soup spoon paused slightly.
"Why is this plague god here?" Zuo Yexuan was puzzled.
"The Bai Yueguang I've admired for years rolled around with so many people right in front of me. Shouldn't he be hiding in his bedroom licking his wounds? How could he still have time to come here?"
Zuo Yexuan was puzzled, but still went out to greet him politely.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Zuo Yexuan bowed.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite." Murong Lie raised his hand lightly, staring at Zuo Yexuan, and said straight to the point.
"Ye'er is already at the age to get married. Do you have any candidate in mind?" Murong Lie asked.
Zuo Yexuan looked up when she heard that, and saw the dark sockets under Murong Lie's eyes at a glance, and she almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
It seems that the Dog Emperor has been unable to sleep or eat well these past two days.
Zuo Yexuan laughed wildly in her heart, but spoke with a faint smile on her face.
"I think that since we are choosing a princess for the crown prince, it would be better to ask for his own opinion."
"In a while, it will be the New Year's Eve banquet. The ministers will bring their families to attend the banquet. Then we will look for candidates for the Crown Princess together with Ye'er. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"Nonsense!" Upon hearing this, Murong Lie waved his dragon robe violently.
"Marriage is a matter of great importance. It's decided by parents and matchmakers. How can he decide on his own?"
"Since ancient times, loving mothers often spoil their children. You are just too indulgent to him!" Murong Lie looked angry.
The smile on Zuo Yexuan's face disappeared.
"What does the emperor mean?" she asked with a calm expression.
"Ye'er has a dull and cold personality. In my opinion, Princess Mingyue is lively and cheerful, and she is a perfect match for him." Murong Lie said to himself.
You're a perfect match, sir!
Zuo Yexuan cursed in her heart, but her expression remained unchanged.
She had seen the girl Zhao Mingyue before. She behaved in a rude manner and had no manners or etiquette at all.
How can such a person be qualified to be the Crown Princess, and how can she become the Queen of a country in the future?
Unless... this damn emperor never intended to let Ye'er inherit the throne.
"Well, the Crown Prince's principal wife will be Princess Mingyue. As for the concubine, I think the daughter of the Minister of Rites and the daughter of the Minister of Works are both talented and beautiful, and they are both excellent candidates." Murong Lie kept talking to himself.
After he finished speaking, seeing that Zuo Yexuan didn't react at all, he couldn't help but turn around and asked with a frown.
"Queen, what do you think of my arrangement?" Murong Lie asked.
"Not very good," Zuo Yexuan tried to hold back, but couldn't help it.
"The Emperor and the Minister of Rites' daughter are rumored to be fond of women, and many of the maids and servants in the family have fallen victim to her cruelty."
"As for the daughter of the Minister of Works, she is exceptionally talented and beautiful, and her weight is also extraordinary, weighing three or four hundred kilograms... Your Majesty, you call her the best candidate?" Zuo Yexuan was really angry.
She really wanted to say, if you think they are the best, then you can enjoy them yourself.
Murong Lie: ...
"These are all rumors, nothing but groundless talk. Maybe, maybe they are all false?" Murong Lie looked a little embarrassed.
He also heard Concubine Xu talking to him for a few words. He thought that the prince had reached the marriageable age, so he wanted to discuss with the queen to choose a person. He didn't expect the queen to be so uncooperative.
"Whether it's true or not, Your Majesty, why don't you wait until the New Year's Eve palace banquet to see and make a decision?"
"He is the crown prince after all. His Majesty has no other princes yet."
“If the emperor listens to other people’s slander and arbitrarily designates a candidate for the crown prince, and if that person behaves badly or has a bad appearance, it will bring shame to the royal family.” Zuo Yexuan said with a smile.
The emperor heard this, stammered, and wanted to say something. After thinking for a long time, he finally nodded.
