These words made Ouyang Zhen's eyes light up. These daughters of noble families naturally have deep backgrounds, but in terms of money, the richest are definitely the daughters of merchants.
If word gets out, even more people will apply. Those noble ladies from prominent families who want to enter the palace will likely have to spend a fortune.
However, what they didn't know was that what good would massive bleeding do? The real trump card was still in Han Luoxue's hands.
You decide what to do!
Knowing that Han Luoxue didn't really want to help him find a woman, Ouyang Zhen's mood improved slightly.
Looking at the delicate and beautiful woman in front of him, the one he had always loved, Ouyang Zhen felt his lips go dry.
"Xue'er, it's getting late, let's get some rest!"
As he spoke, he took the initiative to help Han Luoxue take off her clothes. Seeing the undisguised desire in the man's eyes, Han Luoxue hesitated for a moment.
They haven't been together for a long time, but she just gave birth, so it hasn't been long.
However, she has been clean for a long time now, and she feels that her body has recovered well. Is it okay?
Before she could decide whether to refuse, her clothes had been stripped off, and a burning kiss landed on her. Han Luoxue felt dizzy and couldn't bring herself to say no.
The system store also has many medicines for adults to replenish their bodies. She feels that her body is recovering very well, so she should be fine, right?
Considering Han Luoxue's expression, Ouyang Zhen only did it once.
"Once you've fully recovered, I'll take good care of you then!"
When Han Luoxue woke up the next day, she was still thinking about Ouyang Zhen's last words, and her face turned even redder.
Two maids came in to serve her, and when they saw the bluish-purple marks on her neck, their faces flushed slightly.
"Your Highness, I've heard that many people have already signed up, and this has caused quite a stir!"
"I heard that the Emperor has posted an imperial edict outside, stating that women's status is not limited to that of officials and nobles!"
Qinghe pouted unhappily, her face showing undisguised worry: "Your Majesty, if this happens, there will be even more people entering the palace in the future."
"This servant is so worried. The Emperor is really something. He was so affectionate with you last night, and today..."
Seeing the undisguised worry on the little girl's face, Han Luoxue smiled faintly:
How do you know they can raise more money and supplies than I can?
The little girl pouted: "Do I even need to guess?"
Although they felt that the Empress's status was somewhat weak, the Emperor had always been kind to her. They were now the Empress's personal maids, and only if the Empress lived well would they live a respectable life.
"Let's see how it goes then!"
Han Luoxue wasn't worried about this, as she had other things to do today.
...
"Oh dear, Xue'er, you actually sneaked out!"
Zhou Jie hadn't expected that Han Luoxue would secretly run away on her second day in the palace. Seeing that she was wearing ordinary clothes, it was obvious that she had sneaked out on her own.
"By the way, what exactly happened between you and my cousin? Why would he give such an order?"
When Zhou Jie heard the imperial edict this morning, she was stunned. She never expected that Han Luoxue had only just entered the palace, and that the two should be deeply in love, so how could things suddenly...?
Is he going to take another concubine?
"Little Xue'er, you don't know, I was about to go in and teach my cousin a lesson, but he held me back and wouldn't let me!"
Zhou Jie spoke angrily, and it was clear she was truly furious. Han Luoxue simply smiled faintly in response.
"Do you dare lay a hand on her?"
If she remembered correctly, Zhou Jie used to be like a mouse before a cat when she saw Ouyang Zhen; she had never been so domineering before.
"I... Oh dear, Xue'er, wasn't I doing this for you? Even if I'm scared, I'll still rush forward for you! I never imagined my cousin would be such a scumbag! He's only been a few days, and he already wants a large number of concubines! And what's worse, it's one thing if they're noble ladies, at least he has to agree to them, but why can't the daughters of merchants participate?"
"I don't mean to look down on businessmen, I just think this will put you under more competitive pressure!"
Seeing Zhou Jie's angry expression, Han Luoxue felt a warmth in her heart, and her smile became even gentler: "Actually, this idea was my own, it has nothing to do with your cousin!"
Ouyang Zhen is probably going to die unjustly.
"Ah, what you're thinking? How could it be what you're thinking? Little Xue'er, what are you thinking about?"
Why does it feel like Xue'er is making herself unhappy?
"Don't you know my abilities? Sister Zhou, you have to believe me!" Han Luoxue winked playfully at Zhou Jie.
"I……"
Zhou Jie scratched her head. She had actually thought about it, but it felt a bit risky.
"But you can't be too afraid of the unexpected. Aren't you worried that things might go wrong, Xue'er?"
"I have strong financial backing, what do I have to be afraid of?"
Han Luoxue smiled nonchalantly, her face radiating confidence and certainty.
"Actually, I thought from the beginning that even if I didn't bring up this idea, many people would keep bothering your cousin. The matter of taking a concubine has to be resolved eventually, so I might as well take the initiative. You know my current situation; in their eyes, I'm just a pitiful little thing with no one to rely on!"
Upon hearing the words "helpless and pitiful," Zhou Jie's lips twitched violently.
Actually, the Zhou family is not as rich as Xue'er. As long as Xue'er doesn't deliberately let things slide, those people really can't do anything to her.
