Zhu Wuhuan looked at their interlocked hands, then slowly lowered his gaze to his face.
She raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Suddenly discovered that this tyrant...
Not only good-looking, but also childish and cute.
Especially now, in front of all the civil and military officials, he performed this solemn ritual of "holding hands with you and growing old together" and said the affectionate words "I only love the queen in this life and will not accept anyone else", which is really touching.
Even in modern times where monogamy is the norm, it would be difficult for her to meet such a man, right?
Feng Changye heard Zhu Wuhuan's inner thoughts and narrowed his eyes slightly.
So, after a thousand years of the Queen's life, monogamy had already become the norm?
No wonder she reacted so calmly when he said he would abolish the six harems for her. It turns out that in her eyes this was not a favor, but what a normal couple should be like.
He suddenly thought of his father and mother.
If the Queen Mother also came from the same thousand years later as the Queen, and she watched her father say every day that he loved her deeply but never abolished the six palaces for her, would she be extremely disappointed with her father and finally leave Daning?
He lowered his eyes.
He didn't know the reason why his mother left.
However, he could go and thank Xiao Chuzi himself.
Thanks to this guy for risking his life that night to persuade him to abolish the six palaces for the queen.
Now that he has made his attitude clear, the Queen will probably change her mind about him, right?
He put aside his thoughts, glanced sideways and smiled at his queen.
Queen, you finally discovered that I am beautiful and cute. Your eyes were blind for a month or two, and they have only returned to normal today.
However, when can you change the word "cute" to "love"?
I am waiting for the day when you fall in love with me.
Seeing the two of them looking at each other "lovingly", the system was frightened again.
It quickly warned, "Host, you're not really believing the tyrant's lies, are you? We've already deduced that he's actually helping Eunuch Yuan dismiss the six concubines. You're just a tool!"
Zhu Wuhuan calmly replied, "The past was the past, and the present is the present. One cannot remain confined to faulty thinking. Occasionally, one must break free from their fixed thinking and consider other possibilities."
Without waiting for the system to become frantic, she slowly said, "Of course, don't worry. Your host has remained sober. If it's proven that the tyrant really is just using me as a tool, and I've now mistrusted him, then I'll knock his head off. We'll use his skull as a wine bowl and drink to my ascension to the throne."
The system was coaxed into submission by the host in no time.
The host has not lost his heart yet, as he can ruthlessly say something like drinking from a tyrant's skull bowl!
It can continue to play.
"..." The system was coaxed into submission by Zhu Wuhuan, but Feng Changye's happiness didn't last even three seconds before he became furious with his wife again.
What hatred or grudge did she have with him in her previous life?
Do we have to think about his skull all the time? Can't we think about him as a person?
He is a living being with a majestic appearance, but he is not as attractive as a skull, right?
But he was so angry that he almost died, and he couldn't let anyone see it!
He could only vent his anger on the minister again.
He glanced coldly at the group of silent ministers!
Are you mute?
Aren’t you the one who chatters the most usually?
How come when he said he wanted to abolish the six palaces, no one jumped out to condemn him and advise him to think twice?
"My dear ministers, why are you silent?"
He suppressed his anger and deliberately found fault.
The ministers lowered their heads, wanting to respond with a "hehe".
Does the emperor think that he hasn't tricked them enough just now, and wants them to jump out one after another and be shot to death by his cruel arrows?
They just stepped into a big pit, they were scared and learned their lesson, is that not okay?
Anyway, they have already made up their minds that before the little prince is born, they will no longer oppose the emperor over matters concerning the harem.
The more they obstruct, the more the emperor may love the queen.
They have no one to stop them. Without resistance, the emperor might get tired of it and start selecting concubines again...
So, they rushed to speak, especially tactfully and wisely.
"The Empress is pregnant. On this joyous occasion, we, the ministers, can only offer our sincere congratulations and dare not say anything inappropriate that might dampen the Empress's spirits."
"The concubines in the harem are your Majesty's concubines. Whether they are accepted or dismissed is your Majesty's family affair. I dare not interfere."
"The Emperor and the Empress are in love and in harmony. This is a blessing for the country. How dare we, the ministers, interfere?"
"..." One after another, they smiled and made the word "know what's tactful" clear, fearing that they would not know what's tactful and the emperor would take the opportunity to find fault with them.
Seeing that they were so tactful, Feng Changye felt very regretful.
He also hoped that some troublemakers would pop up and advise him, so that he could take the opportunity to scold them and vent his anger.
As a result, they were all scared like quails!
He was feeling regretful when he suddenly heard the sound of rings and pendants coming from not far away.
He suddenly looked to his right.
A dozen graceful and elegant women, each accompanied by two palace maids and eunuchs, walked over from the corridor in an orderly manner under the leadership of Xiao Yuanzi.
When Feng Changye saw them, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes!
The ministers are sensible, but these women may not be!
He finally had a place to vent his anger!
So Feng Changye played with Zhu Wuhuan's fingers and watched leisurely as the women walked up to him, knelt down and saluted in unison.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor—"
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Empress. May the Empress live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years—"
Feng Changye and Zhu Wuhuan shouted at the same time.
More than a dozen beauties stood up together.
They stood at the bottom of the stairs, looking up at Zhu Wuhuan's belly covertly.
They had already learned from the eunuchs that the Queen was pregnant.
It wasn't that Xiao Yuanzi was lax about his words; he simply didn't go looking for them. After all, with over a dozen concubines, it was impossible for him to inform each one one by one. So he dispatched a dozen young eunuchs to deliver the message.
Those young eunuchs were not as tight-lipped as him. When the concubines gave them silver and asked them secretly, the young eunuchs told them in a low voice.
Therefore, on the way to Taiji Hall, the concubines' moods were more complicated than each other.
They haven't even been favored by the emperor yet, and the queen is already pregnant. How jealous!
The queen was already favored, and now she was pregnant, and would give birth to a little prince in ten months. By then, would there still be a place for them in the harem?
So at this moment, none of the concubines hoped from the bottom of their hearts that the baby in the queen's belly could be born safely.
Some of them might have had some good intentions and hadn't thought of secretly poisoning the queen and her child. But even so, none of them could happily look forward to the birth of the queen's child.
Who made them serve the same man as the queen?
It's an inherently competitive relationship.
