The white robes he wore accentuated his handsome features and distinguished demeanor.
But Feng Guang didn't like his white clothes, so she said, "Uncle Wang, it would be better if you didn't wear white."
Why?
She said seriously, "Because I can't help but want to get it dirty."
"If it's really dirty, the laundry maids in my household will probably be in a lot of trouble."
"It's alright, I'll give you another black garment."
Gu Yan said with a sigh, "I've worn white for so many years, has Your Majesty still not gotten used to it?"
"I've been saying this for so many years, Uncle Wang, are you still not planning to change your clothes?"
"Perhaps, Your Majesty could try changing out of the red robes first?"
"Boring." She clicked her tongue. "Fengya went to Dongyang City. You won't see her in the palace lately."
So you don't need to come into the palace from time to time anymore.
"I know that the princess is accompanying the imperial envoy dispatched by Your Majesty to provide relief to the disaster victims."
He makes no attempt to hide his control over information within the palace.
Feng Guang said regretfully, "If Uncle Wang could have returned to the capital earlier, he might have been able to give Feng Ya a ride."
"The case of the prefect of Longzhou's embezzlement has indeed taken up a lot of my time, but I am very pleased to hear that Your Majesty has already found people to provide disaster relief as soon as I returned." She always steered the conversation toward Xia Fengya, and he always kept the conversation away from Xia Fengya.
Feng Guang asked curiously, "Uncle Wang, aren't you afraid I've come to the wrong person?"
"Since it is someone His Majesty has chosen, then there is no mistake."
“Yes, he is indeed the one I’ve set my sights on.” Feng Guang shifted to a more relaxed sitting posture, her eyes slightly narrowed. “That man named Mu Liang is very much to my liking.”
Gu Yan's smile was like a spring pond, gently rippling out little by little. "Your Majesty's harem is short of people."
When Fengguang turned fifteen, all the civil and military officials in the court advised that more people should be added to the harem. Moreover, when she was still a princess, the late emperor had arranged a marriage between her and Lan Tingrong of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. However, because Lan Tingrong had been guarding the border, the marriage was delayed again and again.
"My harem is indeed short of people." Feng Guang lazily poured himself a cup of tea. "However, I will not so hastily take a consort."
"Your Majesty, I will investigate his background thoroughly and put your mind at ease."
"Uncle Wang, you misunderstand. It has nothing to do with background. It's just that marriage is a matter that needs to be considered carefully. What if I meet someone I like even more?"
Gu Yan said with a smile, "If Your Majesty encounters someone you like even more, you may also bring them into the palace."
"No." She picked up the teacup and brought it to her lips.
He asked, "Why not?"
Feng Guang slightly raised her beautiful eyes, and a captivating charm could be seen in them, stirring the heart. Her voice was soft, "In my life, I will only have one husband."
Gu Yan was slightly taken aback.
She quickly laughed again, "After all, I'm so beautiful, and I'm the ruler of a country. If I have too many men, and they're all scheming against each other for me all day long, I'll get very annoyed."
"Your Majesty is right." Gu Yan lowered her head slightly. She spoke as if she were joking, so he took it as a joke as well.
The saying goes, "A snake's heart is never satisfied, even if it tries to swallow an elephant." Humans are always greedy. There are so many temptations in this world that ordinary people cannot even be free from desires, let alone emperors who can have whatever they want.
My heart was slightly erratic just now, as if it were an illusion.
Feng Guang propped his head up and squinted at him. "Uncle Wang, before you came back, I found people to go to Dongyang City for disaster relief. In view of what a great thing I did, may I ask you for a favor?"
Because of her sitting posture, the neckline of her dress was opened even wider, revealing a glimpse of her fair skin on her chest. Gu Yan quietly shifted his gaze to the lotus flowers in the pond and asked, "What are Your Majesty's requests?"
She said lazily, "Take me out of the palace for a day."
