"This nose is too big, it's like a garlic, no no!"

"This mouth is so small, I can hardly see it, how can I kiss it? No, no!"

"This, wow, is this still a human? The facial features are so weird, I'm having nightmares just by looking at them. No, no!"

"This one, wow, this body can crush me into a meat pie in one go, no no no!"

…

Yue Nanxuan threw the pictures of beauties all over the floor as he spoke. After looking through hundreds of pictures, he didn't find any that satisfied him.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yongnan is back!" the guard came in to report.

Yue Nanxuan was startled, and his arm, which was about to throw away the portrait, automatically hooked back, "Please come in, please come in!" He walked barefoot to the ground, grabbed a few pictures of beauties, blinked with a smile, and looked at the palace gate eagerly.

The palace gate was wide open, and Yue Nanchen strode in, dressed in a crimson purple royal robe. He walked straight in front of Yue Nanxuan, and his cold eyes slowly swept across the portrait of the beautiful woman on the ground.

"Oh my, my brother, you came at the perfect time. Look at all these beauties. I'm dazzled by the choices. This one has a high nose tip, and looks very wealthy. The most classic one is this one, with the most authentic cherry mouth..."

The eunuch stretched his head suspiciously and secretly stuck out his tongue. Weren't these the things that the emperor had just disliked? Why were they being praised so highly now?

Yue Nanchen brushed past the portraits of beautiful women and asked calmly, "Third brother wants to take a concubine?"

Yue Nanxuan hugged the portrait to his chest and raised his eyebrows, "Yes, you are back just in time, give me some advice!"

Yue Nanchen just asked again, "Does Third Brother really want to take a concubine?"

This time, Yue Nanxuan held the portrait of the beautiful woman in front of Yue Nanchen and said, "Of course it's real, otherwise I'm looking at

What?"

Yue Nanchen was silent. He seemed to understand something and stopped talking. He just watched Yue Nanxuan commenting on the portraits of beautiful women.

"Oh my, my brother, please don't just sit there, help me make a decision. I never thought that in just a few short years, those little girls have grown up. Look at this one, with long flowing hair and a beautiful face. Do you know who she is? She is the daughter of Minister Xing, Xing Ajiao. She once entered the palace. We have seen her!"

Yue Nanxuan was discussing a portrait with great interest, and finally put it away and took a closer look. "Not bad, not bad. She still has some traces of her childhood, but she is much more beautiful now!"

"Third brother, I just came back and I'm tired, so I'll go back home to rest first. You make your own decision!" Yue Nanchen spoke in a low voice, like a sleeping cloud with the bright moon shining on him, without a trace of emotion in his voice.

Yue Nanxuan was stunned, and then he saw Yue Nanchen clasped his fists, saluted, and turned to walk out.

"Oh my, my royal brother, why are you so anxious!" Yue Nanxuan shouted, but did not chase after him. He just sat quietly on the dragon throne, silent.

The eunuch in charge standing by also became a little nervous. Although the emperor was usually approachable and never punished anyone indiscriminately, that man was the emperor after all, and had been high and mighty for a long time, with all the power in the world.

When he was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon throne, the emperor unconsciously possessed a unique arrogant elegance. When he was silent, he really made the people around him deeply feel the terrible majesty of this body itself.

"Ban Wu?" After a long time, Yue Nanxuan suddenly spoke coldly.

"Your Majesty!" Ban Wu felt nervous and immediately stood up and knelt on the ground. "What does Your Majesty want me to do?"

Yue Nan Xuan

She raised her head and handed him a stack of portraits in her hand coldly, "Pass on my order. Say that these women have passed the preliminary selection and let them enter the palace to meet the emperor on the day of the Little New Year in five days!"

Ban Wu quickly took the stack of portraits with both hands and whispered, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yue Nanxuan suddenly sighed exaggeratedly, stood up lazily, kicked his long and powerful legs, and shouted loudly, "I didn't expect that taking a concubine would be so troublesome. I'm so tired. I'm going out for a walk. Don't follow me!"

"But Your Majesty..." Ban Wu quickly signaled to Xiaojia and Xiaoyi, and the two wanted to follow.

"I am the emperor!" Yue Nanxuan suddenly turned around coldly and said in a stern tone.

Ban Wu, Xiao Jia and Xiao Yi were all shocked. They had been following the emperor since he ascended the throne, and had never seen such a cold emperor!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The three of them didn't dare to follow him and could only watch Yue Nanxuan walk out of the imperial study with his hands behind his back.

I don't know when it got dark. I looked up at the sky, and saw stars twinkling in the sky. The night wind brushed across my cheeks like silk, bringing a bit of piercing pain.

Suddenly, he stopped. He was startled by the figure in red clothes and flying black hair in front of him. When he looked closely, he couldn't help but let out a cry and almost fell to the ground.

But the moment he spoke, he realized that the woman in red clothes, black hair, and a red veil on her face was Red Rose. But he didn't expect that in the dark night, seeing a red scarf on the woman's face looked as if it was covered in blood, which gave him a start.

"Hehe!" The woman's laughter sounded, sweet, lazy and crisp.

"You're still laughing. If you walk around the palace in the middle of the night like this, the people in the palace will think it's haunted!" Yue Nanxuan

He shook his head helplessly, strode quickly to her, and stared at her infatuatedly, "Are you here to see me?"

"Yes!" Shui Yao raised her eyebrows lazily, stretched out her hand to pick a red plum blossom and inserted it into her hair. "It's just that I wanted to go to the imperial study, and just as I sneaked in, I saw you coming out alone and walking towards here!"

Yue Nanxuan looked down at her for a long time, then suddenly stretched out his arm and put it on her shoulder, "Are you here to travel the world with me?"

"Huh?" Shui Yao was stunned, but she still shook his hand away out of habit. However, Yue Nanxuan was still unyielding and approached her again. This scene reminded Shui Yao of the first time she met him as Red Rose.

"I didn't expect that you still can't change your old habits!" Shui Yao smiled faintly, but never shook his hand off again. She let him put his hand on her shoulder like a buddy.

"You too, aren't you used to wearing red and going out in the middle of the night? By the way, Giant Clam has recently offered some priceless treasures as tribute. Are you interested? As usual, we'll split the profits!"

While putting his arm around Shuiyao's shoulder, he discussed the theft plan facing the moon.

"Okay!" Shui Yao narrowed her eyes. Since he was willing to play, she would accompany him, but this would be the last time!

"Great, let's go now!" Yue Nanxuan excitedly grabbed Shui Yao's hand and walked out of the plum forest.

In fact, there was no need to steal at all. Now Yue Nanxuan was the emperor, wearing a dragon robe. All the secret guards knew it, even though Yue Nanxuan deliberately looked back and forth in front, walking on tiptoe carefully.

But from time to time, teams of guards came over, knelt before him, and shouted, "Long live the emperor!" The voice was so loud that the whole palace could hear it!

"Okay, from now on, you just pretend that you didn't see me, understand?" Yue Nanxuan was furious, his voice was full of fire, and he ran straight to the leader of the guards and yelled, "This emperor has a miserable life. Can't he even steal things from his own home?"

The leader of the guards' eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately responded and fled with a team of guards. However, he was afraid that if something happened to the emperor, he would not be able to take responsibility, so he followed from a distance and still did not dare to leave.

Shui Yao had been following him lazily from the beginning to the end. Seeing him angry, she kindly stretched out her arm to comfort him, and said with a sincere look, "You see, stealing is not an easy business. It's so difficult to steal from yourself, let alone others! You'd better just be an emperor!"

"If that's the case, then why are you still wandering around outside? I..."

Yue Nanxuan wanted to make a few jokes like usual, but when the word "Queen" was about to come out, it was stuck in his throat. He coughed violently twice, and tried hard to suppress it. Then, without saying anything, he went straight to the treasury.

Shui Yao is so smart and she naturally understands what he means.

"Come on, it's right in front!" Yue Nanxuan's cheerful voice came from the front, as if he really liked this game.

Shui Yao took light steps and followed closely.

There were guards in front of the warehouse, and the situation was very strict.

"Are they really going to steal?" Shui Yao and Yue Nanxuan hid in the bushes and observed carefully and quietly.

"Of course, you wouldn't see the treasure and abandon me, and don't want to give me a share, right?" Yue Nanxuan immediately looked back at her vigilantly.

Shui Yao burst out laughing, "What are you thinking? What I mean is, if you really want to steal, then..." She pointed at the dragon robe on his body, "Take this off!"
