Mo Junran raised his eyes, which were as dark and dead as water, without a single ripple, as if he were truly an emotionless person. He simply said, "That day will never come!"
He answered with certainty.
Emperor Wenyuan opened his mouth to refute something.
But in the end he closed his mouth, stared at him for a long time, and then said helplessly: "Okay, get up!"
"If you are going to do anything in the future, please let me know in advance."
Mo Junran stood up.
But he did not sit back on the stool. Instead, he stood straight and said, "Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to inform you in advance."
Emperor Wenyuan was puzzled: "When?"
"Before Your Majesty issued the decree to confer an official title on Shen Li, although this humble servant was not in the capital at the time, he still had someone report this to Your Majesty in person."
Emperor Wenyuan frowned and thought about it.
Seems to have some impression.
The person who came to report at that time said that there were some corrupt officials in the court, and some were buying and selling official positions privately, and they were already under investigation.
But Emperor Wenyuan didn't take it seriously at that time.
After all, corrupt officials exist in every dynasty and generation. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Moreover, the court is not a place where things are black and white. As long as it doesn't make a big fuss and involve too many things, which emperor would not turn a blind eye?
So he thought at the time that Mo Junran was trying to avoid his "urging to get married" and found such an excuse to avoid him.
But he didn't expect that today he would be given such a shocking blow.
Emperor Wenyuan was speechless for a moment.
"However, I came here today because I have something to report."
"What's up?"
"There are still remnants of the Yun Kingdom."
"What?"
Emperor Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, then he frowned, "Are you talking about the Yun Kingdom that was destroyed over twenty years ago?"
Mo Junran nodded: "Yes."
"According to the news, the remnants of the Yun Kingdom are secretly using the banner of 'Princess' to overthrow our dynasty and return the Yun Kingdom." Mo Junran said with a grim face.
"Princess?"
Emperor Wenyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Yun Kingdom has another princess?"
Everyone knew that the Emperor of Yun was extremely dissolute and had never fathered an heir. So the sudden appearance of a princess at this time was quite surprising.
Mo Junran: "Yes, that's the information we have so far."
"It's said that the princess's biological mother was a foot-washing maidservant of the Yun Kingdom Emperor. She gave birth to the princess during a period of favor. Later, when the Yun Kingdom was destroyed, the princess was secretly escorted away."
"But the specific circumstances still need time to investigate."
Emperor Wenyuan leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the tabletop, a sneer in his eyes: "Then go and find out."
"I am curious about who that 'princess' is, and those so-called remnants."
The Yun Kingdom was destroyed more than twenty years ago.
At this time, the remnants of the Yun Kingdom showed up and wanted to rebel! !
There is also an additional 'princess'.
Something doesn't feel right...
"yes."
Mo Junran responded and prepared to leave.
Emperor Wenyuan stopped him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? The investigation doesn't cost you much time. Stay and have lunch with me."
Without giving Mo Junran a chance to refuse, Emperor Wenyuan called Eunuch Li and said, "Li Qing, you know what A'ran likes to eat. Go to the imperial kitchen and ask them to prepare more dishes that A'ran likes."
Eunuch Li smiled and quickly agreed.
After Eunuch Li left, Emperor Wenyuan stood up and walked to the soft couch by the window. He had a chessboard placed on the low table and then beckoned to Mo Junran, "Come here and play a game with me."
"Your Majesty, at this hour, you should be attending to state affairs."
"I work diligently every day, so this morning doesn't make a difference. Hurry up and sit down and play a game of chess with me." After Emperor Wenyuan sat down cross-legged on the soft couch, he picked up the black piece and placed it in the middle of the chessboard.
Mo Junran: “…”
Mo Junran glanced at the interested Emperor Wenyuan, and finally sat down opposite him.
He glanced at the chessboard.
He picked up the white piece and naturally placed it in the corner.
Emperor Wenyuan glared at him and said, "Play well."
Suddenly thinking of something, Emperor Wenyuan looked at him and said, "If you lose, I will have full authority over your marriage. Coincidentally, I have already picked out several noble ladies who are worthy of you."
Mo Junran frowned slightly.
Looking at Emperor Wenyuan's smug smile, he said, "If this minister wins, I will decide my own marriage."
Emperor Wenyuan said without a second thought: "No."
"I can choose any woman you like for you, you can have as many as you want, but whether she can be your princess consort in the end is up to me." Emperor Wenyuan did not feel embarrassed at all, even though he had said some 'golden words' to the old Duke.
Let Mo Junran choose for himself.
But who says a man can only marry one?
The Princess of the Prince of Yi had to be both talented and beautiful, and someone who could be helpful to A'ran. As for concubines, A'ran could choose as many as he wanted. If possible, he could even have all the noble ladies in the capital marry into the Prince of Yi's palace.
Think about it this way.
Emperor Wenyuan's eyes lit up slightly.
Why didn’t he think of it!
What's there to choose? Why not just take all the good ones to Prince Yi's Mansion? The house is almost finished anyway, and it's big enough!
"How about this? I'll send all the eligible ladies in the capital to your palace. You can choose whoever you want to be your princess. I won't interfere..."
Mo Junran stood up after hearing this.
He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have always been a vegetarian and cannot compare to your good appetite. If Your Majesty truly has this in mind, then I will have no choice but to return to the Imperial Temple and continue praying for you."
Emperor Wenyuan was stunned.
Then he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Was this kid being sarcastic to him?
Seeing that Mo Junran was about to leave after bowing, Emperor Wenyuan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "Stop!"
Mo Junran paused.
Emperor Wenyuan clapped his hands on the couch and said, "Sit down!"
"I haven't even let you go yet, why are you throwing a tantrum? I've really spoiled you to the point of you being lawless."
Mo Junran didn't sit down.
He just stood there, his dark brocade robe making his stern appearance even more awe-inspiring, yet he inexplicably gave off the air of a Buddhist who was at peace with the world...
It feels very conflicting.
But it is inexplicably harmonious.
It was as if he was born a combination of two bodies.
Emperor Wenyuan looked at his "stubborn" look and was slightly stunned. Then, not knowing what he thought of, he finally sighed.
"Okay, if you like to eat vegetarian food, then eat vegetarian food. I can't force you to eat meat by pressing your head."
Emperor Wenyuan patted the soft couch again and said, "Sit down and play chess."
Mo Junran still didn't sit down.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am not good at chess and I am afraid that I will spoil your Majesty's mood."
He is not good at chess?
Oh!
Emperor Wenyuan stared at him, then suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly, "If you win, I will grant you a wish."
