On the one hand, he doubted the authenticity of the matter, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of magic could make the emperor so unrestrained.
I'm not afraid of dying in bed.
"Prince, what's wrong with you?" Wen Qinning walked to his side.
"Ahem, nothing." Fang Yunheng wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief gracefully. "The news from the palace is that the emperor didn't notice you were replaced, and you stayed in Ning Huan Palace last night."
Ninghuan Palace was the residence prepared for her by His Majesty. Wen Qinning was stunned, and then her heart felt bitter.
She had been taking care of her parents in Yuzhou since she was young, and came to Beijing for the purpose of getting married.
The Wen family is a prominent family in Yuzhou. Everyone respects them and no one dares to offend them.
She grew up in a pampered environment, and on her first day in Beijing she fell in love with the emperor in casual clothes.
At that moment, she leaped off her horse and stopped him with a whip in hand: "Sir, you are so noble and imposing. How about becoming my husband?"
He asked with great interest, "The young lady is straightforward and lovely. Whose daughter is she?"
They played together and drank together. During that time, she drank in a brothel and teased the regent. After a few months, she found out that he was the emperor and had other women in the harem.
Wen Qinning was disappointed and heartbroken. Even though she had feelings for the emperor, she decided to withdraw, but the emperor's edict came.
Everyone wants to be special, and so does Wen Qinning.
She didn't want to share a husband with other women, but secretly she couldn't help but wonder, what if he found out, how would he treat her?
Seeing her in a trance, Fang Yunheng was sad, but he still held her hand to comfort her.
"I know you have him in your heart, but that's how the emperor is. The three palaces and six courtyards are a family system, and it's impossible to change it for you. I won't force you. I believe that one day you will think clearly and forget him."
Fang Yunheng is strong and decisive outside, but now he is willing to make concessions for Wen Qinning, which shows that he really likes her.
Wen Qinning stood there motionless for a long time without saying a word.
How could it be so easy to forget? He was the man she fell in love with at first sight in the crowd.
Fang Yunheng's brows were furrowed into the shape of a "川" character. What good was there in the emperor? He just had the advantage of knowing Wen Qinning first. If Wen Qinning had met him first, the emperor would have no place.
"Don't be sad, I'll take you out to relax. You can tell me where you want to go."
Wen Qinning didn't have any particular place she wanted to go, so Fang Yunheng took her to visit the places she and Xuanyuan Mo had been to before, trying to cover up the old memories with the new ones.
But Wen Qinning was reminded of someone when she saw the things, which made Fang Yunheng very depressed.
There is a restaurant in West City with a rich menu. Fang Yunheng and Wen Qinning, who was wearing a veil, were walking on the street when a haggard man came over with a portrait.
"My two nobles, have you ever seen the woman in the painting?"
Wen Qinning glanced around casually and was stunned.
The woman in the painting had a face like a delicate flower, cherry lips and a beautiful nose. Her facial features were delicate and flawless, and her appearance was peerless. She was surprisingly 70% similar to her.
Or perhaps it could be said that she was 70% similar to the person in the painting, but she did not have the beauty of the person in the painting, like a flawed fake. This realization made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Fang Yunheng stood in front of Wen Qinning and said, "I've never seen it before."
The man said "Sorry to bother you" and left in a daze.
Fang Yunheng took Wen Qinning's hand and said, "Let's go."
"Okay." After walking for a while, Wen Qinning said gloomily, "Is the woman in the painting the one who will enter the palace in my place?"
"It's her." Fang Yunheng said coldly, "A beautiful woman marrying into a commoner family will only bring disaster. It's better for her to enter the palace and live a muddled life."
Wen Qinning nodded in agreement. Although the man just now looked good, he was too poor and could not protect the beauty even if he was given one. Instead of being taken away by force, it would be better to send him to the palace on her behalf.
I'm doing this for her own good.
It would be great if the emperor could only marry her, Wen Qinning thought. That way, there would be no need for that woman. Now she is really lucky.
………………
The emperor kept his word. More than a dozen girls from ministers' families were carried into the palace in sedan chairs. Xuanyuan Mo waved his hand and conferred the title of Baolin on all of them.
The harem, which had been silent for a long time, finally became lively again.
Just when everyone was guessing which new person the emperor would pick, Xuanyuan Mo went straight to Ninghuan Palace after finishing his government affairs.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Hua Ling happily threw herself into Xuanyuan Mo's arms, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Xuanyuan Mo had been thinking about how to avoid revealing any flaws. Seeing Hua Ling smiling happily, he suddenly felt relieved. Perhaps it was not so difficult after all.
He naturally put his arms around Hua Ling's waist, breathing in her unique fragrance, and dishonestly pinched her slender waist with his hands.
Hua Ling shuddered in shock, her ears suddenly turned red, and her eyes were filled with an alluring color.
Xuanyuan Mo's lips curled slightly. She was indeed delicate and looked easy to bully.
If it were Wen Qinning, she would have pinched him back long ago.
He wanted to tease her, so he deliberately put on a stern face: "Why, you don't welcome me?"
Hua Ling was at a loss: "No, I...I like Your Majesty very much."
Xuanyuan Mo raised his eyebrows. She was the second person who said she liked him.
The first one was Wen Qinning, but she lied to him and would rather marry Fang Yunheng than enter the palace.
The two of them dined together. Chunyu winked at Hua Ling to serve the dishes to Xuanyuan Mo. Hua Ling pretended not to understand and happily shared the delicious food she had discovered with the emperor.
"Your Majesty, extend your hand."
Xuanyuan Mo didn't understand why, but he still reached out his hand.
Hua Ling was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and Xuanyuan Mo suddenly had a large braised bone in his hand.
The braised pork ribs were bright in color and covered with sauce, which not only stained his hands but also his sleeves.
