"Okay, come back to your senses. You're still looking at it when everyone's gone far away."
Nan Zhao came back to his senses and looked at Yu Chen, saying in a very serious tone:
"I might be the little princess's father."
Yu Chen didn't hear clearly.
"What? Say that again?"
Nan Zhao told what happened between him and Yu Qingyan that night.
After hearing this, Yu Chen started punching and kicking him.
"How could you treat my sister like that? She must have been so desperate!"
"How could you just walk away and leave her alone? You know she's a young woman, pregnant before she even got married. How are you going to let her face the gossip from outsiders?"
Nan Zhao didn't fight back or respond, and let Yu Chen beat him until his face was bruised and swollen.
Yu Chen was tired from fighting and calmed down.
"What are you going to do?"
Nan Zhao knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I wish to marry Her Royal Highness the Princess. I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish."
Yuchen waved his hands in pain.
"Okay, go back first and let Gu Qing be alone for a while."
"Your Majesty, I will return and await His Majesty's response."
Yu Chen was so angry that he threw the teacup at him.
"Get lost. I can't help you. I won't force Yanyan into doing anything. You should figure out what to do about what you did yourself."
Nan Zhao paused for a moment, then turned around and went to find Yu Qingyan.
Yu Qingyan had just coaxed her daughter to sleep when Nan Zhao came in.
"What are you doing here?"
"The little princess is my daughter, right? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Seeing that his daughter's face looked very similar to his, Yu Qingyan did not deny it.
"So what? What does it have to do with you? She's mine alone. I can give birth to her, so I can naturally raise her by myself."
Upon hearing this, Nan Zhao nodded in agreement, but the child needed a complete family.
"I believe you, but don't you want to give her a complete family? I may not be a good husband, but I will definitely be a good father. Please, Princess, give me a chance."
Seeing his serious expression, Yu Qingyan turned around, with her back to him, and thought seriously.
"I'll think about it."
Some time ago, in order to clean up the rebels, Yu Chen filled the imperial city with the smell of blood day and night.
Now that everything has finally been cleaned up, a palace banquet has been specially held today. Officials above the sixth rank can bring their families into the palace to attend the banquet.
In fact, it was also a banquet to select concubines.
At the banquet, all the budding girls set their sights on the young emperor sitting at the head of the table.
They all hope to become his queen and sit beside him, or at the very least, become his favorite concubine.
There was only one pretty girl who never looked at the emperor from beginning to end.
Because she already has someone in her heart with whom she wants to spend her life.
Yu Chen looked at his sister beside him and reminded her with a smile.
"Sister, what are you looking at?"
Yu Qingyan withdrew her gaze from the beauty.
"I'm helping my brother choose his future sister-in-law."
"If Father and Mother saw my brother get married and have children, and saw that the Yu family's empire had someone to carry on its legacy, they would definitely be very happy."
Yuchen touched her head.
"Yes, it's time for my brother to get married. I've just been looking around for a while. Do you have any sister-in-law you like?"
"What's the point of me liking you? You have to like me too. After all, I'm your lifelong partner."
Yu Chen actually watched it seriously and made a few comments from time to time.
"I think the daughter of Minister Xu is good. She has a decent family background and good upbringing. She should be able to help manage the six palaces well after entering the palace."
"Miss Zhang from General Zhang's family is also very good. She is both literary and martial. I have met her before. You will definitely get along with this girl. She has a carefree personality."
The corners of Yu Qingyan's mouth twitched.
"Brother, are you still willing to accept the selection? Aren't you afraid that the girl won't like you?"
"And how many people do you want to marry into the palace?"
He is not a pleasure-seeking person, so he only has about ten or twenty women.
"Okay, stop talking about me. What do you think of Nan Zhao? If you are interested, I will grant you a marriage."
Looking at Nan Zhao, who was holding up his wine glass with a drunken look on his face, Yu Qingyan felt that it was not impossible to force herself to go along with it.
Yu Chen noticed her expression and it seemed that his sister was willing. He could issue an edict to grant the marriage tomorrow.
This brat Nan Zhao, I don’t know what blessing he had in his previous life to be able to marry his most beloved sister in this life.
There was singing and dancing in the hall, and the noble ladies in the court all came on stage to show their talents.
The candidate for queen has been decided: Xu Linglong, the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion.
The noble ladies present wanted to kill Xu Linglong. Why could she become the queen?
She is not the most beautiful, nor does she have the best talent, nor does she come from the most noble family.
Many people were dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do because this was the emperor's own choice.
Yu Chen chose several more girls as his concubines, including Zhang Wanting, the legitimate daughter of the general, He Zi, the youngest legitimate daughter of the minister, and Chu Yue, the daughter of a sixth-rank official.
Yu Qingyan looked at these girls with shining eyes.
My brother is so lucky. Even these beauties like them themselves, let alone men.
I was so engrossed in gazing at the beauty just now that when I came to my senses I realized that Nan Zhao was gone.
"System, where is Nan Zhao?"
I still want to say a few words to him.
The system is showing a guilty conscience.
"That host, I was so engrossed in looking at the beautiful woman just now that I didn't even notice when he left."
Yu Qingyan looked up at the sky in silence. Okay, it was just bad luck. Having encountered such an unreliable system, what could she do? She could only accept it.
