[It's pretty.] Lin Su said with a smile, [She really looks to my taste.]
06: […that that that…]
[Kang Baiyu is currently engaged to a woman.] Lin Su said.
This world does not oppose male wives, and the Duke Kang's Mansion is a high-ranking and powerful place. Military men do not pay attention to red tape like scholars. If Kang Baiyu likes a man, I think they will not stop her.
But the man was engaged to the woman, so naturally he liked her.
Emperor Yuanhe could forcibly separate the couple regardless of their romantic interests, but Lin Su had no intention of doing so.
[There are so many beauties in the world, why bother hanging yourself on a tree?] Lin Su said.
06 After some analysis, the host’s remarks can basically be classified as a scumbag, but he seems to have a conscience.
Most of the dignitaries in the palace had already arrived when a voice announced, "Your Majesty has arrived."
The ceremonial procession came in a grand procession, surrounding the man in the imperial robe who looked extremely majestic. The royal concubines were all beauties, so naturally the emperor born to them would not be ugly.
Emperor Yuanhe was tall and majestic, with sword-like eyebrows. He was so powerful and had an extraordinary appearance, which naturally attracted the concubines to come and see him.
When the emperor arrived, everyone knelt and saluted until the emperor sat down and said, "Stand up."
Everyone stood up from the ground and sat down.
The concubines who could attend the banquet were all of higher status than the concubine, and to be able to sit on the concubine throne when the emperor was so young, she must have been from a powerful family or beautiful.
But among all the beauties competing for beauty, it was Kang Baiyu sitting on the left who attracted everyone's attention the most. It was because the young man was just too good-looking.
Such a gentle and kind person naturally attracted the attention of Emperor Yuanhe.
After being accustomed to countless cosmetics and seeing too many colorful flowers and willows, the impact of that touch of fresh air is really huge.
Emperor Yuanhe glanced casually, but his eyes could not move away for a moment, until Kang Baiyu seemed to notice something and looked up at him, Emperor Yuanhe asked, "Who is this?"
Kang Boyu noticed his gaze was strange, but he didn't think much of it. He just stood up and saluted and replied, "Your Majesty, I am Kang Boyu, son of Duke Kang. I am now stationed at the border with my father, serving as General of the Cavalry."
He was young and tall, and although he was dressed as a warrior, he was completely different from those generals with rough skin and loud voices.
"No wonder I feel you look unfamiliar. You grew up with your uncle in the frontier, where it's windy and cold. Now that you're back in Beijing, you might as well take a look at the scenery of Shengjing City. Maybe you'll never want to go back there again." Emperor Yuanhe said.
Kang Baiyu clasped his fists and said, "Guarding the frontier for Your Majesty is my duty. I dare not covet the prosperity of the capital."
This was what a loyal minister said, but Emperor Yuanhe felt a pang of frustration. Just as he was about to speak again, another announcement rang out: "The Empress Dowager has arrived!"
Even if one is the emperor's nominal elder, one must attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
Li Yuan was quite familiar with this kind of ceremony, so even if he didn't want to join in the fun, he still had to go through the motions.
The Empress Dowager's entourage was no less than that of the Emperor. The young man walking in front was exquisitely made. If he had worn red, he would have been flamboyant and unrestrained. However, the dark and heavy clothing weighing on his body, coupled with the proper smile on his face, suppressed the youth's vitality to the point of no return.
But this is what a queen mother should do, and he did it without any mistakes.
The Empress Dowager arrived, and this time even the Emperor had to bow and greet them. However, Li Yuan did not let them kneel for long. After she sat on the honorable throne, he asked them to stand up, and then he did not ask any more questions.
Everyone knew that the Queen Mother had no real power, but her status was there, and no one dared to neglect her in the slightest.
Emperor Yuanhe was interrupted, but he couldn't ask again directly, so he could only find another opportunity.
"How is your health these days, father?" Emperor Yuanhe said politely.
"Everything is fine." Li Yuan also said something polite to him.
Lin Su suddenly laughed, and when he appeared from Li Yuan's place, his eyes were fixed on the young man.
Li Yuan, also named Empress Dowager Yuanjing, was the youngest son of the Queen of Li. However, when she was twelve years old, she was sent to the sick old emperor to bring good luck. Although she got the position of queen, it was only in name only.
Now she is only sixteen years old, a few years younger than Emperor Yuanhe, but she sits on the position of empress dowager and becomes a stepmother.
Being so far away, Lin Su naturally couldn't hear their conversation, but the system still relayed it.
Asking a sixteen-year-old boy about his health shows that this filial piety is really insincere.
Of course, this little queen mother naturally has no intention of being a loving father.
They both know what is going on in their hearts and live a clear and transparent life.
06 Curious: [What is the host laughing at? ]
It didn't find the previous conversation funny.
Lin Su laughed and said, "Don't you think it's inappropriate for that little guy to wear the Queen Mother's clothes, just like a child stealing adult clothes?"
Not only was his face inappropriate, but his temperament was also extremely inappropriate. Even though he tried to be dignified, the fingers hidden under his sleeves were not very honest. His eyes seemed to be looking down with majesty, but he was actually distracted. He might as well have shared more food on the table.
Even when sitting there, my whole body showed the desire to run.
Li Yuan was indeed calculating the duration of the banquet. The empress dowager's crown was too heavy, weighing on her forehead. It would probably leave a mark when she returned home. Her clothes were also uncomfortable, weighing on her shoulders. When would the banquet end? Why was there so much to say?
I should have come a little later.
Being locked up in this palace at the age of twelve has definitely shaped my personality. 06 said.
[This is the fate of all members of the royal family.] Lin Su said, but the young man had a different kind of clarity and vitality.
Perhaps one day this freshness will be worn away by the palace, but it obviously hasn't happened yet.
Emperor Yuanhe asked around and finally found an opportunity to talk to Kang Boyu again: "I wonder if my General Hussar has arranged a marriage yet?"
Kang Boyu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it has been discussed."
"Oh? Which girl is this to catch Bai Yu's eye?" Emperor Yuanhe felt a little displeased.
"Your Majesty, the one being discussed for marriage is the princess of the Beizhuo Palace, and the wedding date has already been set." Mrs. Kang answered on his behalf.
King Beizhuo stood up and saluted: "It is you, my lord. Baiyu is a man of noble character. I am relieved to marry my daughter to him."
"Oh, really?" Emperor Yuanhe was unwilling.
The Queen glanced at him repeatedly. Perhaps most people could not tell what the Emperor meant, but those who were well versed in this matter understood that His Majesty had taken a fancy to Kang Baiyu, otherwise he would not have asked about the marriage of a minister so frequently.
The Queen was not in a position to interrupt, but Li Yuan also realized it. He did not ask about the affairs of the harem. No matter how the concubines fought, the Queen was in charge and it was not his turn.
