"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here!" a eunuch came hurriedly to report.

Yue Nanxuan was slightly stunned, then turned and walked towards the Queen Mother who was coming from a distance, "Oh my, how is your mother these days? How come you have time to come to this Imperial Garden?"

The Queen Mother has rarely left the nunnery since the incident with Prince Changning. She must have important matters to attend to this time.

The Queen Mother slowly let Yue Nanxuan support her to the pavilion, where the maid spread out a cushion and sat down.

"Xuan'er, you are twenty-five now, right?" the Queen Mother whispered in a low voice.

Yue Nanxuan sat down directly opposite her, "Mother, do you have nothing to do today, so you are counting your son's age for fun? Did you suddenly think of saying this?"

The empress dowager's gloomy face was slightly relaxed by his amusement. "I recite scriptures and chant Buddha's name all day long. How can I have time to count your age for fun? But you are not young anymore, but this harem is so deserted. You..."

The Queen Mother sighed quietly, "I heard that Louxi Country has submitted a letter of surrender, and Chen'er and Shuiyao will be back soon!"

Yue Nanxuan was stunned, then he put away his playful smile and whispered, "What does the Queen Mother want to say?"

"In fact, I know something about you and Shuiyao. Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country and you must not do anything that is humiliating to the state. Besides, I owe Chen'er too much, and he has suffered a lot..."

Yue Nanxuan's eyes darkened, and he suddenly chuckled, saying in a relaxed tone, "See what your mother is talking about. I was just about to report to you that I'm going to choose a concubine. This harem is really deserted, so I might as well take in seventy or eighty of them for fun, as long as your mother doesn't mind the noise!"

The Queen Mother was stunned. Why had she never heard that the Emperor intended to take a concubine?

Although she had heard some things about the emperor and Lan Shuiyao before, most of them were

She didn't take it to heart. Yue Nanxuan and Yue Nanchen were the closest brothers, especially Yue Nanxuan. He seemed unruly and weird on the surface, but he would never let her down when it came to major issues.

Yue Nanchen, on the other hand, had a gloomy and weird personality, and was easily obsessed with trivial matters. He had blamed her for three years for the Dong Qing'er incident, and she had also done something wrong to Yue Nanchen regarding the will. So as soon as she heard about it, she came out of the Buddhist temple on purpose. She didn't want to see the brothers turning against each other.

"You... really want to choose a concubine? When you ascended the throne, you only took two concubines in order to consolidate your position. Why now..." The Queen Mother still had some doubts.

"Mother, you have also said that I am already 25 years old. My younger brothers who are younger than me have all started families and have children. I am lonely too!" Yue Nanxuan smiled faintly, turned his head, looked at the red plum, and the smile suddenly became bitter.

Since we are stuck in such a painful stalemate, we might as well cut the Gordian knot!

The Queen Mother nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, now that you have a child, I will have something to do. Does the Emperor have a candidate in mind?"

Yue Nanxuan looked back and laughed, "As long as mother likes it, it's fine. You can decide!"

"I'm in charge?" The Queen Mother sighed and shook her head. "Xuan'er, I know what you mean, but I'm used to the quietness of the Buddhist temple. I don't want to care about it anymore. You should handle it yourself!"

The Queen Mother raised her arms and whispered, "Help me go back!"

"Yes, Queen Mother!" The eunuch behind greeted her and immediately stepped forward to respectfully hold the Queen Mother's arm. The group of people walked away quietly.

Yue Nanxuan looked at the Queen Mother's back

Ying sighed softly. A lot of things happened in this year, and many people changed a lot!

"Your Majesty..." the personal eunuch whispered from behind, "Your Majesty really wants to take a concubine?"

Yue Nanxuan's eyes darkened, "Yes, go and prepare the imperial edict quickly, the New Year is coming soon, the war in the south is over again, and Nanyue should also be lively!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will prepare it right away!" The personal eunuch left in a hurry, and Yue Nanxuan waved his hand lazily, "You all can go down, there is no need for you to serve here!"

"Yes!" All the eunuchs and maids responded and went down. In the deserted imperial garden, only a bright yellow figure was left, accompanied by the white snow and red plum blossoms...

After dealing with the affairs of Louxi Kingdom, Yue Nanyu stayed temporarily to manage Louxi Kingdom together with Ming Wang Tianwen, while Yue Nanchen prepared to return to Nanyue with a large number of troops.

The huge team advanced slowly forward. Yue Nanchen looked back at the gate. Yao'er hadn't come out yet. What was she busy with?

"Master..." Qianhun reminded him in a low voice as the troops moved further away.

"Qianhun, take the troops and go first. I have important things to do!" Yue Nanchen turned over and dismounted, rushing straight into the gate.

Qianhun was stunned, helpless and could only obey the order and go.

In the room, Shui Yao was wearing a red dress, lying lazily on the couch. There were heaters lit in the four corners of the room, making it very comfortable and warm.

Lan Yi brought in some hot tea and whispered, "Master, the prince is leaving, you..."

Shui Yao raised her eyebrows lazily, "Lan Yi, how is the construction of the military factory going?"

Lan Yi quickly said in a serious tone, "Everything is going well. Fen Chang and her team are working day and night!"

“

Very good, last time I wanted to go check it out, but was stopped by Tianwen, so I was delayed for a few days. We will set off to check it out later. After all, Fenchang is still a child, and I am worried!"

Lan Yi said calmly, "Master is right, but I heard from Fen Shang that Master Shi helped a lot, and he is quite talented in managing that room!"

Shui Yao nodded, "After all, he was once the head of a stone mine, so he must have some ability to control his subordinates. Fen Shang really needs to learn a lot from him!"

Suddenly, Lan Yi turned to the window and whispered, "Master, the prince is here!"

Shui Yao waved her hand, motioning her to go down.

As soon as Lan Yi left, the door was opened and Yue Nanchen strode in. "Didn't we agree to leave Louxi Country today? Why are you..."

Before Yue Nanchen could finish his words, Lan Shuiyao, who was lying lazily on the couch a moment ago, suddenly gave a lazy and evil smile. The two windows behind her suddenly opened, a gust of cold wind rushed in, and the red shadow flew out.

"Yao'er!" Yue Nanchen was stunned and hurried to the window. He saw a woman swinging gently on a swing outside the window, looking particularly charming and beautiful.

The woman raised her stunning face, her long eyelashes trembling quietly and swaying gently in the falling snow.

Yue Nanchen's heart moved, he quickly jumped out of the window, strode towards the woman, and smelled a faint fragrance and a sense of ice and snow.

Shui Yao suddenly opened her eyes, chuckled, and a cold light flashed in her hand. Yue Nanchen only felt his waist loosen, and the belt fell on the snow in front of him.

Shui Yao lazily stretched out her long legs, stopped in front of him, and looked at him with charming eyes.

Clothes

When he relaxed, he was less tense and dignified, but more casual.

"Don't you want to go back?" Yue Nanchen pulled Shui Yao into his arms, leaned over and whispered in his ear.

Shui Yao smiled faintly without saying anything, but her small hand went straight to his sexy face, feeling the tightness of his facial skin, while her other hand went straight to open his shirt.

"Yao'er..." Yue Nanchen spoke hoarsely, looking at Shui Yao in a low and sexy voice.

"I don't want to go back today, I just want to be with you!" Shui Yao spoke softly, her eyes lit up, and she lowered her eyes to kiss his lips.

Yue Nanchen's whole body was tense. Because his hands were controlling the swing, his body could only be controlled and manipulated by the woman. When he wanted to kiss her deeply, she playfully dodged.

Yue Nanchen groaned and looked at her with some dissatisfaction. Her kiss was as light as a dragonfly skimming the water, but it successfully aroused the deepest desires in his heart. When he wanted more, it suddenly disappeared.

Shui Yao spread her legs and sat on him. As the swing swayed gently, her lips fell on his forehead again, and then meandered to his lips. This time, she tried to dodge, but was bitten hard by the man.

The woman actively pressed her body against him, brushing her hands sexily over his straight back, feeling the man's strength.

He hooked his toes on the swing and used his strength to steady his body, letting it dance with the fall, while he freed one hand to tightly hold the woman's waist.

With a faint smile, she sat on him when he was most overwhelmed. The man groaned with pleasure, and the swing moved faster and higher because of the excitement of the two.

Shui Yao lay on his chest and giggled, "Aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"
