They didn't expect the original owner to be chosen. With the emperor's attributes, all the officials had long given up on the idea of using a woman to curry favor.
After all, it's mostly going to be a waste of money.
Only when there is no other way, and no other option, will a daughter be sent to the palace.
How amazing is Father-in-law Li? In just one short sentence, he succinctly and comprehensively captured all the information about the original owner without missing a single word.
The new imperial concubines, favored by the Empress Dowager, are good at bearing children.
Emperor Wei Xian processed these three words in his mind, and then thought of Chu Yuan's face. Well, he couldn't quite remember her because she lacked distinctive features. The only thing he could recall was her slightly plump figure.
And, a flat chest that doesn't match her voluptuous figure.
Emperor Wei Xian curled his lips into a sneer, seemingly disdainful of Chu Yuan's attempt to curry favor. His expression was indifferent. "Go tell her that she is forbidden from drawing me on kites in the future!"
She's just an ordinary woman; he tolerated it the first two times.
The third time, however, I just couldn't muster any interest.
If it weren't for the fact that he felt uncomfortable and restless after a woman's dissatisfaction three times, he would have wanted to immediately send her to the Zixia Palace.
"Here you go!"
Li Gonggong resolutely obeyed the order.
However, he also thought that painting the emperor on a kite was quite ingenious, and the Empress Dowager often instructed him to persuade the emperor, saying that personal preferences were a small matter, but the continuation of the imperial line was of great importance.
The emperor is already thirty-three years old and only has one princess. The country is unstable and the state is in danger.
So, Eunuch Li stopped and said to Emperor Wei Xian, "Your Majesty, Yuan Chang is quite dedicated to painting here."
She must be thinking of the Emperor day and night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
"Why not let the Emperor go and see her himself, so that he can relieve her longing and completely sever her hopes?"
Throughout the entire palace, Eunuch Li was one of the people who had a relatively close relationship with the emperor.
They grew up together, served each other closely, and were inseparable, spending many times more time with the emperor than the Empress Dowager did.
Otherwise, why didn't the Empress Dowager ask him to persuade the Emperor?
So when the emperor heard this, he wasn't angry with Eunuch Li, but just gave him a disapproving look, saying, "You sure know how to meddle in other people's business."
"This servant is only doing this for the Emperor's good."
Even the most diligent and busy emperors have times to relax and rest.
The emperor was already troubled by state affairs and felt dizzy and disoriented.
Now that we've left the Imperial Study, why not take a stroll in the Imperial Garden, admire the flowers and plants, and feel the cool breeze? Perhaps when we return, our minds will be much clearer.
The emperor scoffed, "I'm afraid your head will ache even more if you see anything indecent."
Eunuch Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Consort Yuan has been eating vegetables for a whole month and has become much slimmer. While she may not be stunningly beautiful, at least she won't make Your Majesty uncomfortable."
That's all he can do.
Whether or not Yuan Changzai can seize this opportunity depends on his own fate.
[My little darling, hard work pays off! You used your charm on Eunuch Li to persuade the Emperor, and now he's already on his way to the Imperial Garden in his palanquin.]
"I understand." Chu Yuan replied calmly, showing no sign of urgency.
She touched her veil; it was neither too tight nor too loose, just right.
She would then land perfectly in front of Emperor Wei Xian, just as Yang Guifei's smile was captivating. She could do the same.
The next moment, Chu Yuan lifted her skirt and ran quickly towards where the kite had fallen.
They ran blindly without looking.
As expected, they bumped into the emperor's entourage. Eunuch Li shouted, "Who is so bold as to run around in the palace?"
