The emperor's eyes fell on Gu Wanying's snow-white skin inch by inch, and his heart beat strong and powerfully.
"You are a stunning beauty, like a goddess from Yaochi. You are as graceful as jade, which is truly a blessing in life." The emperor looked at Gu Wanying as if he was appreciating a work of art, and nodded with satisfaction after a long time.
The woman in front of him was so beautiful that she didn't look like an ordinary person. Even though there were three thousand beauties in the harem, he still felt that they were all mediocre.
Gu Wanying blushed at what he said and lowered her head shyly.
The golden bed curtains were lowered, creating a small private space inside the bed, and Gu Wanying suddenly felt cramped.
As if he had sensed her nervousness, the emperor slowed down his movements and gently held her in his arms. Her skin, as soft and smooth as mutton-fat jade, made him tremble uncontrollably.
"Yingying, don't be afraid. I will be gentler." The emperor's voice was hoarse and low, like a cello with excellent timbre gently stirring Gu Wanying's heartstrings.
"Well, as long as the emperor is here, I'm not afraid." Gu Wanying tried to relax herself.
When it was over, the emperor leaned over and kissed away the tears on her cheeks. Her eyes were tightly closed, her eyelashes drooped, crystal sweat oozed from her white forehead, her lips were slightly open, and her breath was as fragrant as orchid.
She looked extremely tired.
The emperor looked at her sleeping face and fell into a deep sleep himself. He had not felt such a sense of satisfaction for a long time.
When she heard the emperor's long and even breathing, Gu Wanying, who was originally asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and took a fertility pill.
The pill dissolved in her mouth, turning into a stream of light and entering her stomach. It was warm and cozy. Gu Wanying let out a comfortable sigh and then fell asleep with her head resting on the emperor's arm.
The news that Gu Wanying successfully slept with the emperor on the night she entered the palace spread throughout the palace, and naturally also reached Prime Minister Gu's residence. As the destined person, her every move attracted much attention.
The next day, Gu Wanying looked at her rosy skin in the mirror and put on some lip balm with satisfaction.
"I heard that Minister Sun came to ask the emperor to grant him a marriage with his sweetheart." The palace maid Feicui was tying up Gu Wanying's hair and dressing her up, telling her the latest news.
Minister Sun?
Is that her rubbish ex-fiancé Sun Chongming?
Gu Wanying was lost in a memory that she couldn't bear to recall, and her movements slowed down, but Feicui didn't notice anything unusual about her.
"Don't talk about this. We don't need to talk about this person anymore." Yue Tao scolded lightly and chose clothes for Gu Wanying with a stern face.
Jade was confused and thought there might be some misunderstanding.
"No, go on, Minister Sun is going to marry the second daughter of the Gu family?" Gu Wanying came back to her senses. If it was really the two of them, then they couldn't just let it go like this!
Feicui glanced at Yuetao, and Yuetao nodded at her.
"Yes, Minister Sun sincerely wishes to marry the second daughter of the Gu family." After Feicui said this, she remembered that the lady in front of her also seemed to have the surname Gu.
She broke out in a cold sweat and was about to kneel down in a hurry, but was stopped by Gu Wanying.
"What are you doing? You don't have to kneel if you haven't done anything wrong." Gu Wanying felt a little headache seeing these people kneeling down at every turn.
The dim bronze mirror reflected Gu Wanying's beautiful face. She was immersed in thought and finally came up with a plan.
As expected, the emperor came during dinner time. He was much more friendly now. He smiled as soon as he saw Gu Wanying, helped her pick up the dishes, and rewarded her with a lot of precious jewelry and head ornaments.
Gu Wanying accepted it with great joy, acting as happy and shy as a little girl, and even had the courage to secretly kiss him on the cheek.
The emperor was very pleased with her boldness and was immediately delighted.
However, Gu Wanying did not take the next step. She just looked at the food in front of her with red eyes.
"But the food is not to your liking?" The emperor noticed this and pulled her onto his lap.
Gu Wanying let out a soft cry and subconsciously hugged the emperor's neck. When she came to her senses, she wanted to get off out of fear.
"Don't panic, just tell me what's on your mind. I also want to hear what your little daughter is worried about." The emperor leaned close to her ear and whispered.
"I have entered the palace, but my heart is still thinking about my dear sister. Her marriage is what father and mother are most concerned about."
She put her arms around the emperor and they were very close to each other.
Looking closely at the emperor's features, he must have been extremely handsome when he was young, his looks were one in a million.
She nodded in satisfaction.
"Then my Yingying doesn't have to worry about that. Minister Sun came today to ask for an imperial decree granting marriage. Who do you think he's marrying?"
"Could it be my sister's?" Gu Wanying became excited. "Is it her?"
"Exactly."
"That's wonderful. This way, Father and Mother can fulfill their wish. The Emperor has issued an imperial decree granting marriage, so why not grant him two beauties as well?"
The emperor raised his brows and waited for her next words in confusion.
"Of course it's to show the emperor's great grace and kindness. Minister Sun is the only son in the family, so the task of spreading the family now falls on my sister."
The emperor understood now, but he would decide on rewarding the beauty tomorrow as he had more important things to do.
Gu Wanying was only halfway through her meal when she was pulled over to do a couple's exercise.
After the morning court session the next day, Sun Chongming looked at the two beauties in front of him wearing hats with an embarrassed expression.
He couldn't understand what the emperor meant.
"The emperor's grace is immense. Minister Sun, why don't you thank him?" Eunuch Feng said with a forced smile, "With these two beauties, the Sun family will have many descendants."
Minister Sun was speechless. He had just asked the emperor for an imperial edict proposing marriage yesterday, and today he brought back two beauties. If Gu Qingqing knew about this, wouldn't she make trouble with him?
But there is no way, this is the emperor's wish!
He thanked him dejectedly, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a familiar figure in the corner, and a guess gradually emerged in his mind.
Is Wanying still blaming herself?
He had no choice but to do this!
The emperor's order is hard to disobey, not to mention that Wanying is the destined one chosen by the Imperial Observatory. How dare he snatch her from the emperor?
How many heads does he have to dare to go against the imperial power?
He thought Wanying would understand him. He asked to marry Qingqing, but in fact, he also wanted to have a special relationship with Wanying so that he could keep an eye on her secretly.
Gu Qingqing already knew that Sun Chongming had accepted two beauties before they even got home.
With tears in her eyes and a look of grievance, she looked at Sun Chongming, "Brother Chongming, how could you do this! You just asked the emperor to marry me yesterday!"
It's only been one day!
Sun Chongming tried his best to suppress his annoyance and explained a lot patiently, but Gu Qingqing refused to listen. She just felt extremely aggrieved. She had to suffer such an insult before she even got married. She felt very ashamed in front of these two women.
Gu Qingqing was extremely angry. She couldn't beat Sun Chongming, so how could she beat these two lowly women?
Thinking of this, she raised her hands high and was about to hit the two women.
