Jun Zhe immediately blushed. This was utterly outrageous! Was he really such a lecherous person?
Faced with such a threat, he naturally... immediately yielded and reluctantly changed the rules.
His only understanding of Linghu Lan was that this woman was a woman of her word; what wouldn't a woman who dared to make the emperor sleep on the ground do?
After the rules were changed, she looked regretful. "What a pity, I can't kiss you anymore."
Jun Zhe: "..." Get out! You lecherous demon!
Recalling that day, Jun Zhe felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy when he saw Linghu Lan.
Linghu Lan smiled and said, "I made it myself. Try it. The filling is plum blossom jam, which is not easy to make."
Jun Zhe looked around, a dark cloud hanging over his heart. Did he lie without even thinking?
"Where are you going to get plum blossoms this season? Besides, you've only been in the palace for a few days, how are you going to make plum blossom jam?"
“Your Majesty has discerning eyes. However, this plum blossom jam is something I brought with me when I entered the palace. It’s just a small jar, and once it’s finished, we’ll have to wait until winter to have more. It’s quite rare.” Linghu Lan handed a piece of cake to Jun Zhe.
That beaming smile made Jun Zhe feel awkward, so he took the cake. "If you have something to say, feel free to speak your mind."
Linghu Lan smiled and said, "Nothing much. I heard that His Majesty has been very busy lately. I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you very much, so I came to see you."
Jun Zhe hurriedly stuffed the cake into his mouth, not daring to look at Linghu Lan again: Doesn't she feel ashamed for saying these words?
But he seemed to really enjoy listening to it, his heart practically leaping out of his chest.
He dared not look at Linghu Lan again, coughed once and said, "Recently, an envoy from Rong State came to Daliang, so there have been many things to do."
Rong Kingdom, Dugu Feng?
Linghu Lan smiled and said that it was during this trip that Dugu Feng met Yue Huangyin, which sparked his wicked thoughts.
Dugu Feng has always had a penchant for collecting beauties, claiming to have collected all the beauties in the world. However, he only seeks to possess them once and never cares about them lasting forever. The beauties he collects never have a good ending; they are either dead or crippled.
"Is the Rong Kingdom's visit at this time for border trade matters?"
“Indeed, the Rong Kingdom has always admired our tea and rice, and we also like their horses and ironware. A small-scale battle occurred on the border in winter, and both sides stopped trading. Now that spring is here, the Rong Kingdom has started to covet our goods again.” When talking about his area of expertise, Jun Zhe spoke fluently. These court officials had all told him about them in detail, so he spoke smoothly and with a touch of pride. Even he himself didn’t understand why he was trying so hard to show off his manly spirit in front of her.
"I see! Who does Your Majesty intend to send to receive the Rong Kingdom delegation? I've heard that in addition to the routine reception by the Ministry of Rites, a member of the royal family is also required to receive the delegation. Does Your Majesty have a candidate in mind?"
The emperor was more interested. “The court officials have recommended a few, and I am still considering them. Empress, if you have any thoughts or suggestions, please feel free to speak them.”
"Ha!" Linghu Lan laughed, "If there is no suitable candidate, what does Your Majesty think of Prince Anxian, Jun Qiming?"
“Prince Anxian? Why did the Empress think of recommending him? He lacks experience and I have never heard of him being a truly talented person.”
"He's suitable based on just one reason. He knows Dugu Feng, the envoy from Rong Kingdom."
"They know each other?" Jun Zhe asked, somewhat surprised. He then frowned, deep in thought. After a moment, he asked again, "Empress, do you have any other candidates?"
