Qi Mu paced back and forth on the palace path. Just now, he went to the Queen Mother's palace gate but did not enter. On the one hand, he did not know how Dan Ruo would feel when he saw her.
On the other hand, knowing that the Queen Mother and Princess Kang were there, he was afraid that his mother would make a scene and his sister-in-law would cry. However, the matter of the adopted son could not be delayed any longer.
Qi Mu would adjust the hem of his robe from time to time. This was the moon-white casual clothes he had just changed into when he returned halfway.
Eunuch Deng was heartbroken watching from the side. The emperor's state was similar to that of the concubines in the harem who had tried every possible means to surround the emperor a few years ago. This was truly an old house on fire.
Watching the lavender figure walk into the palace road, Qi Mu pretended to walk out from behind the big tree beside the palace road casually.
Xiao Zhuozi bowed hurriedly, and Danruo followed suit.
Qi Mu saw the girl with her head lowered, a flower ornament lightly dotted on her fair forehead, her black hair full of hairpins adorned with flower and plant patterns, silver tassels hanging down from her ears, her small, round earlobes gleaming with the glow of glass.
Danruo had already had a friendly exchange with the big tree where the emperor had just hidden, and knew what the emperor had just done.
Eunuch Deng cleared his throat, and Qi Mu withdrew his gaze. His voice was steady and low, "Princess, there's no need to be polite."
After Dan Ruo stood up, she found that she could only see the emperor's neck. If she wanted to see the emperor's face, she had to tilt her head back. Obviously, her height was not short among women.
Seeing the two of them remaining silent, Eunuch Deng couldn't help but start a conversation: "In the pavilion not far away, I've prepared some tea and snacks. Why don't you invite the princess to reminisce with the emperor?"
Dan Ruo followed the emperor and walked slowly towards the pavilion. When he was going up the stairs, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. But Qi Mu heard the noise and his hands were faster than his brain. He picked the person up.
Dan Ruo really didn't fall on purpose, but this body is indeed a little weak, and it has really reached its limit after tossing and turning all morning: "I didn't mean to fall, it's just that my legs are a little tired today."
Then he thought that maybe he heard the emperor say that he was complaining about someone else's mother, so he said in a panic: "I don't mean anything else."
Qi Mu saw that her clear and bright eyes were flustered with anxiety, "The Queen Mother made things difficult for you today. It's my fault. I made you suffer." It must be because he did not follow the Queen Mother's choice of heir, so the Queen Mother went against him.
"Your Majesty, I have not been wronged."
As Dan Ruo spoke, her tears began to turn red, and a layer of mist covered her eyes. The tip of her nose also turned red. She didn't feel wronged at first, but when she heard the emperor's words, she couldn't help but put herself in the emperor's shoes. This scumbag slept with her and was not responsible. She was also intimidated by the emperor's mother today.
Qi Mu felt like his heart was in a knot. So many things had happened to her in the past few days. A normal person would have felt resentful, but she remained as clear as a deer, without a trace of gloom on her face. "Whatever you want, I can satisfy you."
When Dan Ruo heard this, she felt that this scumbag was unwilling to take responsibility and wanted to use his power to attack her.
Seeing that Danruo didn't react and looked at him as if he were a heartless man, the emperor didn't know what Danruo wanted to express and could only guess.
Thinking of what Eunuch Deng said two days ago, after checking, I found that Danruo and Prince Kang had never had any contact for so many years.
The last time Dan Ruo said that to Prince Kang, it might be because he was angry about Chu Xiangxiang's usurpation of his position and the partiality of the Duke of Chu and his wife, or it might be that he really fell in love with Prince Kang at first sight. After all, Prince Kang was not bad looking.
He probed, "Then I'll let you be the princess of Prince Kang. On the one hand, you can avenge Chu Xiangxiang and the Duke of Chu and his wife. On the other hand, you can be the mother of the country in the future."
Being the Princess of Kang County means she can be the mother of the country. It seems that the emperor really intends to make Prince Kang his heir, and he is really good to me, intending to let me be the mother of the country.
Danruo was so angry that she laughed. She even wanted to open the emperor's brain to see. The big locust tree where the emperor was hiding just now said that the emperor was sneaky, like a girl waiting for her lover.
Eunuch Deng also said that the emperor liked her, and from the reward of the title of princess, it could be seen that the emperor was indeed attracted to her and had some interest in her, but he did not take her into the harem, but instead made her the queen of Prince Kang.
"Then if I become your wife, won't I be able to rule the country? And I can also avenge Chu Xiangxiang and become her elder."
Although Qi Mu was happy, he was still troubled by the issue of having children: "But I..."
Dan Ruo slowly approached him after hearing this: "Don't you like me?"
Eunuch Deng secretly applauded in his heart, good job, quickly take down this pretentious emperor.
Qi Mu felt the beauty of the flower so close to him, and the familiar fragrance from that day filled his nose. His heart was in turmoil for a moment. "Don't you like Prince Kang?"
Dan Ruo found it funny: "Your Majesty thinks I like Prince Kang?"
Qi Mu saw her smile, but he couldn't tell what she was thinking: "Didn't you say that Prince Kang looked familiar?"
Dan Ruo nodded and brought up the topic: "Yes, he looks familiar to me because I met a strange man at the city gate three years ago.
He was about forty years old, with a bandage on his chest. He gave me a silver ingot and asked me to buy him a bunch of buns, and then he followed me to the south.
After buying all the buns at the bun stall with one ingot of silver, there was still quite a bit of money left. I wanted to give it back to the uncle, but he refused and hurried away. I felt uneasy about taking so much money from someone.
I was thinking about giving the extra money to him when we meet again one day.
When I saw Prince Kang, I suddenly thought of that uncle. The uncle and Prince Kang had similar eye shapes, but their noses were slightly different. The uncle had a hooked nose, but the overall feeling of the two was very similar, so I asked Prince Kang about it.
