Lin Mo meant that the King of Xiliang wanted his daughter to become empress, didn't he?
Why not just discuss it with the new emperor and bring her into the harem as empress?
However, Lin Mo's idea did not receive Jiang Wan'er's support.
He also failed to gain the support of Yao Guangxiao, Sun Mian, and even Xu Chu.
There are many reasons.
First of all, the new emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was over forty years old and as fat as a ball.
Giving the girl to the new emperor is such a waste.
Secondly, and most importantly.
The King of Xiliang is extremely sensitive and petty. If Lin Mo does this, it will be no different from breaking off the engagement.
They understand the situation; the so-called new emperor of Great Xia is just a puppet, and Lin Mo is the real power holder.
And so, tormented by a swarm of flies buzzing around.
Same formula, same efficacy, same methods, same tearful plea.
Lin Mo's feelings were incredibly complex that night.
Men are lustful, and in modern times, many men would like to have multiple wives and concubines, surrounded by beautiful women.
Moreover, there are really a lot of scumbags who change girlfriends one after another.
As the regent, it's perfectly normal for Lin Mo to have three wives and four concubines.
But the arrangements for tonight didn't make him happy at all.
Happiness came too suddenly, catching him completely off guard.
Jiang Wan'er didn't discuss it with Lin Mo and directly brought the girl to the capital.
The King of Xiliang had more than a dozen daughters, which Lin Mo could choose from. Therefore, Jiang Wan'er naturally chose the one she liked the most.
Her name was Huo Churan, and she was only seventeen years old. Lin Mo forgot her birth order because Huo Minggao had too many daughters.
As Lin Mo walked toward his room, he seemed lost in thought.
He really couldn't imagine what Huo Churan would say or do after seeing him in the bridal chamber.
Although she admits to being quite lustful, Huo Churan must be very beautiful to have passed Jiang Wan'er's test.
At times like this, don't think about anything else, just do something exciting that gets your blood pumping. But, to be honest, Lin Mo really wasn't in the mood for that.
On the one hand, it's out of embarrassment.
I feel a little guilty for doing *that* with a girl on our first meeting.
On the other hand, Lin Mo harbored a strong aversion to his cousin.
Jiang Wan'er wanted to win over her cousin Huo Minggao; Lin Mo had no desire to be related to him.
If he really sleeps with his daughter, he'll never be able to get rid of the Huo family for the rest of his life.
But no matter how confused or at a loss Lin Mo was, the seemingly long path still came to an end.
Pushing open the door, Lin Mo smelled a faint, sweet fragrance in the air, like orchids and musk, so fragrant that it was intoxicating. But when he inhaled it, it felt like gasoline, causing his body to become aroused.
He quickly glanced around but saw no one. He only heard the sound of rushing water and looked in the direction of the sound.
Lin Mo stood there, stunned.
A screen had appeared in her room, and behind it, a woman wrapped in a short silk scarf strolled in. Her delicate hand gently lifted the beaded curtain, revealing the woman who had been hidden behind it more clearly.
The pink silk scarf, damp with water droplets from her body, clung tightly to her voluptuous figure.
Holy crap!
Lin Mo couldn't help but swallow.
"The allure of being wet and sexy is here!"
It must be said that the allure of half-concealed, half-revealed allure is incredibly powerful for men.
Looking up, one could see that the pink silk scarf could not conceal her stunning figure.
Her fair, rosy skin was alluring and irresistible, making one want to...
The pink gauze scarf was like a light mist, covering it, vaguely revealing and concealing, elusive and alluring.
The red gauze scarf only covered the top of her thighs. Her two slender, jade-like legs were as white as jade, with firm skin. Water droplets rolled off them after her bath, reflecting the candlelight around her, making Lin Mo swallow hard.
Her long, wet hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her charming yet innocent face captivated Lin Mo.
"Your Highness!" Huo Churan spoke first, "Don't you like it?"
This question stumped Lin Mo.
He was naturally attracted to such a captivating woman; he longed to pick her up, throw her onto the bed, and then...
But reason told him he couldn't do that!
"Put your clothes on!" Lin Mo replied. "Although it's spring, it's still very cold, especially at night!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Churan was taken aback, but did not comply.
Instead, she strutted down to the dressing table by the bed with her long, slender legs, picked up a jade comb, and began to comb her hair.
"I thought you would pounce on me right away!" Huo Churan said. "They all say Your Highness is very lustful! I didn't expect Your Highness to just stand there, too scared to do anything!"
A provocation? Lin Mo grinned. Not bad!
"I am indeed very lustful, but I would never have anything happen with a woman who doesn't love me!" Lin Mo replied.
These words sent a shiver down Huo Churan's spine. "Love?" That was the thing she longed for most in her life, yet could never have!
Her father had so many children, and every single one of them was a commodity he used to exchange for power, to win over his subordinates, and to solidify his throne.
"Don't look at me like that. You don't love me!" Lin Mo said. "Therefore, I will not touch you!"
Huo Churan stood up abruptly, her eyes showing no sign of retreat, but calmly asked, "Your Highness, is what you say true?"
Lin Mo didn't answer immediately, but instead slowly stepped forward, then took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, saying, "Be careful not to catch a cold!"
This gesture sent a warm feeling through Huo Churan's body.
Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "Your Highness, do you suspect that my body is dirty?" She asked, "You can rest assured that I am perfectly healthy."
