"Your Majesty..." Seeing that he didn't move, his personal guard wanted to call him, but when he followed his gaze, his voice became weaker and the whole person seemed to be frozen.
The moment I saw her, the hustle and bustle on the street seemed to fade away. This woman was so beautiful that she didn't seem like an ordinary person.
The key point is that the woman was looking at her master boldly, and even curled her lips ostentatiously. How to describe that smile?
That ostentatious and bold laugh made even a eunuch like him, whose heart was beating non-stop.
"Bang!" A loud noise came from the private room next door, bringing him back to his senses.
He quickly left the private room, and when he came back, he had already obtained all the information about Tu Qingyu.
Tu Qingyu glanced at the fat man in the box next to Li Yuanqi who dropped his tea bowl because of her beauty, then turned around and went back to the private room.
The fat man's legs went weak after being swept by her. His eyes were still fixed on the window of Tu Qingyu's private room, and his hands were stroking beside it.
"Quick, check for me who this beauty belongs to and whether she's engaged. If not, we'll go and propose marriage!"
Judging from her hair bun, the beauty must not be married yet.
Unless she is a relative of the emperor or the daughter of a noble family, otherwise, no matter which family the girl comes from, he will get her no matter what the price!
The attendant standing behind him immediately responded, "Yes, sir."
We had just sent someone to investigate when the eunuch Lu Bao from next door came back with the news.
Li Yuanqi looked at Tu Qingyu's life written on a thin piece of paper, and his pupils shrank when he saw "divorced for having no children and suffered ridicule."
Childlessness... This has been a thorn in his heart since he got married.
The court officials appeared respectful to him on the surface, but in reality they were mocking him in unknown ways behind his back.
But among the many concubines in the harem, he was indeed the one without children.
Seeing him lost in thought, Lu Bao bowed and replied carefully, "If Your Majesty is interested, it would be fine to bring her into the palace and make her a beauty, but..."
"Just what?" Li Yuanqi glanced at him.
Lu Bao: "It's just that Miss Tu has difficulty in having children. If we take her into the palace, it's inevitable..."
It is true that the girl just now was beautiful, and all the concubines in the harem combined were not as beautiful as her.
With such beauty, which decent man would not be moved?
Bringing it into the palace, even if just for fun, would make people feel happy.
It's a pity that she can't give birth. Your Majesty already has difficulty in having children. If another child has difficulty entering the palace, I'm afraid people in the court will have something to say.
"Heh." Li Yuanqi laughed mockingly, but his eyes were unexpectedly fierce. "This world still belongs to the Li family."
It's just an heir. Even if he has no heir, he is still the emperor, sitting on the dragon throne at the top of the world, controlling the life and death of people in the world.
If he can't even decide such a small matter, he should just step down and let someone else take over.
Just bring her into the palace?
That's not necessary. We only met once, she's just beautiful, and she's just a bit more outgoing...
He put away the paper in his hand and said, "Let's go back to the palace."
But that night he had a dream.
In his dream, he was trapped in a prison, deep in a swamp. Just as he was about to be submerged in the wet and smelly swamp, suddenly a golden light split the fog, and a golden phoenix flew towards him. In just a moment, he came out of the muddy swamp and stood on the grass covered with fallen petals.
The golden phoenix just now transformed into a woman before his eyes.
The woman was wearing flowing colorful clothes, looking like a fairy from a painting.
He looked closely and said, "It's you?!"
Isn’t she the beautiful woman he saw during the day?
The woman smiled without saying anything, turned around and flew away.
He wanted to chase after her, but he couldn't catch up. Then an old voice came from behind him, "Don't chase her."
When he turned around, he saw that it was his royal grandfather who had passed away many years ago.
"Grandfather!" He hurriedly raised his hand, "Grandson greets Grandfather!"
The white-bearded old man took two steps forward to help him up, and lovingly stroked the top of his head, "Let the emperor see that your Yuanqi has grown so big."
"Royal grandfather..." Although Li Yuanqi is nearly thirty years old now, he couldn't help feeling aggrieved when he suddenly felt cared for by the elder he trusted the most. Thinking of the constant pressure from the ministers in the court over the years because he had no heir, he couldn't help feeling aggrieved.
"You were harmed by a traitor. The Emperor knows that you have been wronged."
Li Yuanqi was stunned. "Harmed by a traitor?"
Who? Who dared to attack him? Someone from the harem, or someone from the royal family?
That shouldn't be the case. He grew up with his royal grandfather and was well protected.
After the death of his grandfather, the power was given to his father in public, but to him in secret.
He has always been surrounded by people who protect him, so no one should be able to administer the drug quietly under the protection of so many secret guards and imperial doctors.
"No, it was our Li family's sworn enemy, the Yue clan outside the Great Wall. Their ancestors sacrificed tens of thousands of people in a cruel blood sacrifice to steal our Li family's fortune and end our family's lineage."
Li Yuanqi's heart tightened, "Then, how do we crack it?"
"Don't worry, I'm here right now." He looked kindly, "Did you see the goddess who saved you just now?"
"goddess?"
"Yes, that is the goddess who can save the fortune of my Li family. That is the ray of hope that my ancestors of the Li family prayed for. The goddess promised to come down to earth to save you. Unfortunately, during her reincarnation, an accident occurred on the reincarnation stage, resulting in her not appearing by your side in time. However, it is not too late now. I believe you should have seen her during the day."
"Yes, if the goddess's reincarnation looks the same as before, then I have seen her in broad daylight."
"It's her. You just need to remember to take her to your side and treat her well. This will at least help preserve the Li family's foundation for another 500 years."
"Does the goddess remember that she is a goddess?"
"I've been reincarnated, so naturally I don't remember."
"Is taking her to my side what I mean? Will she and I... then have our own children?"
But during the day, he clearly learned that the girl surnamed Tu was divorced because she had no children.
"Of course. They say something went wrong when she was reincarnated. She came specifically for you, so it's impossible for her to bear children for someone else."
After saying this, the old man raised his hand slightly. A faint light flashed in his hand, and from time to time a translucent white round bead appeared. "This bead is a poison-avoiding bead. It can dispel all poisons and remove all kinds of deception in the mortal world. Wearing it on your body can also strengthen your body. Never take it off."
Li Yuanqi took the beads and replied respectfully, "Yes."
It was still dark when he slowly woke up, and Lu Bao was already gently calling him to get up for the morning court.
He originally thought it was just a dream, but the scenes and dialogues in the dream were particularly real. However, when he raised his hand, a transparent bead slipped from his palm.
"Wow." Lu Bao also saw the bead, "Where did you get such a beautiful bead?"
Li Yuanqi stared at the bead in shock, his heart filled with horror. This bead...
So, wasn't that a dream last night?
