Even if he was the emperor, even though he had been calm for many years and had never been attracted to any woman.
But at this moment, he had to admit that he was shocked by Xu Lingyi's beauty.
Because this is a face that is difficult to describe in words, it is extremely beautiful and does not look like that of an ordinary person.
In the morning glow, the rays of light reflected on her temples, and at this moment, her soft and fine hair seemed to be coated with soft golden light.
The light and shadow shone on her, and the light-colored palace dress wrapped around her exquisite figure, making her look particularly charming, passionate and moving.
But she also has the shyness of a young girl, which makes her look more elegant and refined.
If someone else saw such a stunning beauty, they would probably lose their soul at just one glance.
Even the eunuch Liu Jinzhong was stunned where he was. He understood why the empress dowager insisted on letting the emperor meet this young lady from the Xu family today.
With such a beauty, how can Your Majesty not be tempted?
The Queen Mother looked at the scene with satisfaction.
When she saw the amazement in the emperor's eyes, the emperor did not look away in an instant as he did when he saw other women before.
"What does the Emperor think?"
Seeing that the emperor seemed to come back to his senses and then quickly looked away, the empress dowager deliberately asked.
There was a smile between her eyebrows and eyes, and she thought that Xu Lingyi's entry into the palace was a sure thing.
But the emperor slowly spoke, "Miss Xu is very beautiful, I wonder if she is ready for marriage."
The empress dowager originally thought that the emperor was moved. She spoke in an excited tone, took Xu Lingyi's soft hand, and took a few steps closer to the emperor.
"Yier has no engagement, but she has always admired the emperor." The Queen Mother said, "Why don't you fulfill her love?
The emperor frowned and took a few steps back.
His eyes were deep, but his expression was extremely indifferent: "If she has no engagement, I can arrange a marriage for her."
The Queen Mother: “…”
She didn't understand what was in the emperor's heart. Even with such a beautiful woman right in front of him, he remained unmoved.
Is he really not moved at all?
"Why doesn't the emperor take her directly into the harem? This way she will have a home and the emperor can also have her as his bride?" the empress dowager asked.
"Mother, I have said that I will never take any woman into the palace again in this lifetime. No matter who she is, no matter if she is stunningly beautiful or just plain white, I will not have any interest in her. Mother, please do not act like this again in the future. I hope this is the last time."
The emperor looked at Xu Lingyi again, "Miss Xu."
The emperor was wearing a black brocade robe today, and his sword-like eyebrows slanted into the black hair at the corners of his temples.
The profile and facial contours are impeccable.
But because of his cold expression, he seemed to have an even colder, more distant air, making it difficult for people to get close to him.
"Your Majesty." Xu Lingyi looked up, her face slightly raised.
There seemed to be a hint of moisture in his eyes, which made him look particularly pitiful.
But the emperor remained calm, and there was a chill in his voice.
"Your looks would be an invincible weapon for others. They might be fascinated by your face and figure, but I won't. I will not serve men with my beauty. When beauty fades, love fades. I value a woman's character more than her appearance."
The emperor's eyes were as black as ink, making it impossible to see through them at a glance.
"Instead of focusing on other things, Ms. Xu should pay more attention to her own words and actions."
After the emperor finished speaking, the empress dowager's breathing became rapid. She wanted to cover the emperor's mouth. Why was her son so ignorant about matters between men and women?
She just felt that all her efforts today were in vain.
Xu Lingyi covered her face and sobbed, tears in her eyes.
She wasn't really sad at all, as she had heard much more unpleasant words in her previous life.
She was just a little surprised.
She thought she could leave a good impression when she met the emperor for the first time, after all, she was really beautiful now.
Unexpectedly, not only did it fail, it seemed to have the opposite effect.
Perhaps she underestimated the emperor.
This was also a big wake-up call for Xu Lingyi. Appearance as a weapon seemed useless to the emperor.
She couldn't let her guard down just because of her looks.
"You must leave the palace today. I will have someone escort you away immediately. From now on, you will not be allowed to set foot in the palace without my permission. If you disobey my order, I will show no mercy."
When the emperor spoke to her, his brows were furrowed, as if he really disliked her and had already developed a prejudice against her.
Xu Lingyi sighed inwardly, it seemed that she had made a wrong move today.
The emperor may have looked down on her from the bottom of his heart.
"Emperor!" The Queen Mother frowned. "I felt a strong affinity with her the moment I saw her. I wanted to bring her into the palace to keep me company. But you disagree?"
"Mother, do you really like her, or do you just want to send her to my bed? Mother, you are the Queen Mother, the mother of the Son of Heaven, not..."
The emperor didn't say anything, but the empress dowager was already very angry. The nanny hurriedly stroked the empress dowager's back gently to help her calm her breathing.
The emperor stopped talking.
"Mother, if you allow her to enter the palace in the future, I will immediately arrange a marriage for her. I cannot guarantee whether her future husband will be a human or a ghost. Mother, you don't want to ruin her life, do you?"
The Queen Mother's hands trembled with anger, and she pointed her finger at the Emperor, "I gave birth to a good son, and you are very good. Who am I doing this for? It's for you!"
"Mother, I don't want you to be so self-righteous."
The Queen Mother was angry, but wasn't he angry too?
He and the Queen Mother have expressed their thoughts countless times.
He didn't want to take any more women into the palace, and he couldn't have contact with any women at all.
Having no children in this life is his fate, and it cannot be changed by human power.
Although he had a shadow in his heart about women, he also dreamed of having his own children.
He used to be unable to accept that he would be childless, but now he has accepted it. The suffering he went through was unknown to the Queen Mother.
She only stubbornly forced him, and now she was using superficial beauty tricks to seduce him.
Isn't this looking down on him?
In the Queen Mother's mind, is he a tyrant who is seduced by beauty?
The Queen Mother fainted immediately.
Xu Lingyi was sent back to the Xu family by the emperor.
The Queen Mother just said that she wanted to keep her in the palace for a few days, but before she had even stayed for a single day, Xu Lingyi returned home.
Only then did the princess and other members of the Xu family think that Xu Lingyi might have offended the empress dowager.
"Sister, why did you come back now? Did you anger the Queen Mother?"
Xu Lingyi was already in a bad mood, and then this sister bumped into her.
Xu Lingyi was not polite either. She whipped her directly and Xu Lingmian fell to the ground.
"Does it hurt, sister?"
"If you're hurt, you'll learn your lesson. Don't mess with me again."
After returning to the room, Xu Lingyi took out the treasure bag immediately.
Now this traction rope has to be used.
This was also forced upon her by the emperor.
