Yuan Jinsheng looked at himself in the bronze mirror, reached out and touched his cheek, his skin was delicate and smooth.
It is the result of being raised in the deep palace for a long time.
She murmured softly, "You're right, someone has to stand up."
Wutong didn't hear clearly for a moment, and leaned forward involuntarily, "Your Highness, what did you say?
Yuan Jinsheng still stared at the figure in the bronze mirror.
She has lived a carefree life for so many years, and it is time for her to step forward and help the emperor share his worries and solve his problems.
Thinking of this, Yuan Jinsheng stood up suddenly, holding up his clothes, with a firm look in his eyes, "Follow me to the Golden Palace."
After hearing this, as Yuan Jinsheng's personal maid, what else did Wutong not understand?
Her Highness's reaction clearly showed that he wanted to sacrifice himself.
After realizing what was happening, Wutong quickly stepped forward and knelt before Yuan Jinsheng, pleading, "Your Highness, please don't do anything stupid. This isn't just about a Rouran princess. The Rouran king is clearly trying to use this to embarrass His Majesty. Even if he really chooses someone, he won't let her go easily."
Yuan Jinsheng raised his head slightly, "Could the Rouran King really go back on his word?"
Wutong hesitated for a moment. "It's not that I'm not keeping my word, but the conditions in Rouran are difficult, and His Majesty won't agree to let you go there."
Seeing that Yuan Jinsheng was still insisting, Wutong's face became even more anxious. "Your Highness, please calm down first. This matter is not completely hopeless. At worst... at worst, we can send someone to find a good-looking woman, settle her family, and then make her a princess. Three days later, we can set off with the Rouran. There are precedents like this before. Your Highness, please think twice!"
Yuan Jinsheng's mouth corners curled up slightly.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the person on the ground.
Wutong was genuinely concerned about her and genuinely didn't want her to go to the throne room.
She also knew in her heart that once she took this step, there would be no possibility of taking it back.
She bent down slightly, placed her hands on Wutong's shoulders, and slowly helped him up. "Wutong, please stand up and talk. You just said that among all the civil and military officials in the court who are of appropriate age, there is only one person who meets the age requirement, the Minister of War."
Yuan Jinsheng paused, "But I know the character of the Minister of War. He would never give his daughter away. So in the end, only I, a young man, meet the requirements. Not only is my age appropriate, but my status is also noble. I completely meet the requirements of the Rouran King."
There was a flicker of pity in Wutong's eyes.
She pursed her lips a few times.
Yuan Jinsheng chuckled and patted Wutong's hand. "Okay, don't be so sad. It's just a change of place to live. I can accept it."
The palace maids behind him were kneeling with their heads lowered.
Wutong shook his head in a panic. "No, Your Highness, you don't know what kind of place Rouran is. It's not as bustling and prosperous as Shengjing, nor does it have the beautiful mountains and rivers of Shengjing. You..."
Yuan Jinsheng feigned anger and said, "If you do this again, I will be angry."
Wutong pursed his lips slightly, but didn't say another word.
She looked at Yuan Jinsheng with complicated eyes, and finally stood firmly beside her, saying word by word, "Since Your Highness has made up his mind, then go. However, by now, His Majesty should have finished his morning court and gone to the Imperial Study. If Your Highness wants to discuss this matter, why not go directly to the Imperial Study?"
Yuan Jinsheng reached out and patted Wutong's shoulder, "Okay, then let's go to the imperial study."
Soon, in the imperial study.
Emperor Zhaowu paused what he was doing and looked up at the person in front of him.
Still that naive young woman.
The other person was dressed in white and had an extraordinary temperament.
Although it was already late, at first glance, she still looked as lively as a girl in the boudoir.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Zhaowu raised his hand and waved towards Yuan Jinsheng.
He lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the memorial in his hand. "I will find a way to deal with this matter. You don't need to take the initiative. I will pretend I didn't hear what you just said. Come, take *** away."
Yuan Jinsheng was about to kneel down, but Emperor Zhaowu gave him a look and the eunuch beside him stepped forward to stop Yuan Jinsheng.
"No, Your Majesty, I'm not kidding. Looking around, I'm the only one whose age and status meet their requirements. I'm already prepared. All you need is a word from you, and I can leave with the Rouran King in three days. This would be a win-win situation for both of us."
Emperor Zhaowu finally couldn't help himself, and slammed the memorial in his hand on the table, then slowly stood up.
He walked up to Yuan Jinsheng and asked, "Do you know what Rouran is? Do you know what kind of person the Rouran King is? Do you know what kind of situation you will face after I agree to your proposal?"
Yuan Jinsheng said firmly, "In reply to Your Majesty, since I'm here, I naturally know everything. Please issue the decree directly."
Emperor Zhaowu's eyes were full of complexities. "Even if you decide to do this, you should first understand what kind of person this Rouran King is. You should at least meet him first."
At this time, Eunuch Jiang, who was waiting on the side, lowered his head and retreated silently.
Yuan Jinsheng lowered his eyelids and said, "I have made up my mind. It doesn't matter whether I meet you or not. But since the emperor said so, I will meet you again."
Emperor Zhaowu's eyes darkened slightly, and his expression gradually became grim. "Why did you suddenly come to the Imperial Study to tell me this? Did someone gossip about you? Tell me who it is that actually said such nonsense in front of you. I will definitely beat him to pieces."
Yuan Jinsheng slowly raised his head, a look of helplessness on his face. "No one is gossiping about this to me. I just happened to hear about this. I know that you've been having trouble eating or sleeping lately because of this. Your Majesty, as the ruler of a country, naturally needs to pay more attention to your health. If this continues for a long time, how can your body withstand it, and how can you serve the people?"
When he looked up and saw the expression on Emperor Zhaowu's face, Yuan Jinsheng's face softened a little. "I have lived a carefree life relying on you for so long. In the past, I relied on my father, my mother, my brother, and now I rely on Your Majesty. I should live for myself."
Emperor Zhaowu narrowed his eyes and was about to speak.
I saw the person in front of me roll up his sleeves.
Yuan Jinsheng reached out and grabbed Emperor Zhaowu's ear, applying slight pressure. "Stop talking nonsense. I said I was going, and that's what I'm going to do. Hurry up and issue the decree. In three days, I will set off with the Rouran King. This matter was happily resolved."
Emperor Zhaowu cried out twice and subconsciously reached out to hold Yuan Jinsheng's hand.
However, Yuan Jinsheng's hands seemed to be attached to his ears, and no matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't pull them off.
