Chapter 446 Hu Shanshan Extra (5)
Hu Shanshan noticed that the emperor's address to her changed from "I" back to "I".
Does this mean that their relationship has returned to its original and most natural state?
So could she...
No, she couldn't decide yet.
She had only known the emperor for a few days and could not easily commit her life to him.
Seeing Hu Shanshan's hesitation, the emperor quickly stopped while he was ahead.
"I know it's a bit abrupt to ask you about marriage now," he said, "but I just wanted to express my feelings as soon as possible. Please don't blame me."
"We still have time. Take your time to think about it and give me an answer when you have made up your mind." He touched Hu Shanshan's hair, motioned her to continue resting, and then left quickly.
But how could Hu Shanshan continue to rest at this time? Her head was empty and her face was burning.
She was courted by a male human, what should she do?!
There is no doubt that she also has a kind of male-female relationship with the emperor.
But the biggest question before her now is, will she share a mate with other human women?
Yesterday she just had a meal with Empress Chu, but she was so jealous that she cried all night. Now there are Empress Wang and Empress Li to deal with, how can she cope with them?
It is so painful to see the man you like with other women.
Fortunately, the emperor did not ask her to make a decision immediately, so she still had a long time to hesitate.
…
For the next period of time, Hu Shanshan lived in the palace and ate and drank for free.
Delicacies, meats and dishes were continuously delivered to her palace, along with a dazzling array of jewelry and fabrics of exotic colors...everything made her feel like she was living in a fairyland.
The most important thing is that every palace servant who delivered something spoke to her with a smile.
This favor was given to her alone. No other master in the palace had it, not even the empress, which showed how much she was favored by the emperor.
This "special" feeling made her feel elated unconsciously.
The emperor was not to be outdone and invited her to every banquet and flower viewing party in the palace. Among all the concubines, he treated her the best and often only had eyes for her.
Even though she made a fool of herself by not knowing how to use chopsticks, he smiled and didn't blame her.
So everyone thought that the emperor's heart was entirely on the new girl.
Hu Shanshan also thinks so.
And this feeling made her happy.
——When she recalled this time several years later, she realized how false her happiness was.
When a person stands at the foot of a mountain and looks up at the beautiful peak, she may feel unhappy.
But if she fell off a cliff and was pulled back to the foot of the mountain, she would feel ecstatic.
It was the emperor who pushed her off the cliff, and it was also the emperor who pulled her back to the foot of the mountain. Although he was obviously a bad man, she was extremely grateful to the emperor.
Thankful that he chose her among so many people.
How ridiculous.
…
One sunny afternoon, Hu Shanshan took the initiative to find the emperor.
At that time, the emperor was discussing matters with his ministers. When he heard the announcement that she had arrived, he immediately dismissed the ministers and went to welcome her alone.
Hu Shanshan saw this and felt a little happy.
How could a concubine be as important as a minister? In fact, she was more important than a minister, which meant that she was the most special in the eyes of the emperor.
"Why are you here, Shanshan?" The emperor naturally took her hand and held it tightly in his palm. "What are you unhappy about? Who has neglected you? Tell me, I'll go and vent your anger for you."
"No one has ever neglected me." Hu Shanshan felt the warmth on her hand flow into her heart. "Your Majesty, I have made up my mind. I want to marry you."
"Oh, great!" The emperor was so excited that his eyes seemed to be shining when he looked at her.
"It's great that Shanshan agreed. I've been so worried during this period, fearing that you wouldn't agree." He looked nervous and anxious.
Hu Shanshan said sweetly, "Don't worry, I agree. You just need to go to Fox Mountain and ask my father for marriage."
Although the fox clan generally does not care about the marriage of the next generation and finding a spouse depends entirely on one's own ability, Hu Shanshan is a princess after all, and a precious only daughter. If she gets married without saying a word, her father will probably break her legs.
Unexpectedly, this stumped the emperor.
The emperor roared inwardly, "Dad? She even has a dad? She herself is a seventh-level fox demon, so her dad's cultivation must be immortal, right?"
Moreover, the emperor did not think that her father was as naive and easy to deceive as she was. If he really went to propose marriage, he would probably never come back and would just become someone else's food.
His fear of the giant fox demon made him retreat a bit, and he even wanted to give up, but in the end he gritted his teeth and endured it.
"But Shanshan." The emperor looked at Hu Shanshan in embarrassment, "I'm busy with all sorts of things and don't have time to come and propose marriage."
"Huh?" Hu Shanshan was puzzled. "Can't you spare half a month? My home is not far away, just above Xiangshan."
The emperor said patiently, "This isn't a matter of a month or two, Shanshan. I'm the emperor. Locust plagues and floods are everywhere, and they urgently need my help. If the people knew I abandoned them for dozens of days just to get married, what would they think? Their lives are in jeopardy."
Hu Shanshan brought up the emperor's statement and felt that he was in a difficult situation.
So he said, "It's okay for me to wait a little longer. When you're done with your work, you can come to my house and ask for marriage."
"It won't be over in a short time. It will take at least a few years, or even more than ten years. Can you wait?" The emperor looked painful again.
"I can wait. Ten years is nothing." Hu Shanshan answered bluntly.
Emperor: “…” Yes, for a fox demon, a dozen years, dozens, or even hundreds of years are nothing.
What an enviable lifespan.
It would be great if I could transfer it to him.
"But Shanshan, can you really just watch us being together but separated for over ten years?" He advised, "We have to wait. Why don't we wait a decade or so, wait until everything is over, and then explain to your father."
"For your father, more than ten years is nothing, right?"
Hu Shanshan looked confused: "That's what I said..."
She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Shanshan, marry me now! I can't wait even a day," the emperor said. "I promise you that when everything is over and the weather is good everywhere, I will come to you to formally propose marriage."
"Shanshan, I understand you, and please understand me too."
"I am the emperor, and there are many things I cannot control."
These are the sentences that are repeated over and over again.
…
Hu Shanshan finally did not agree that day, but fortunately the emperor was not angry and sent a servant to escort her back to the palace.
In fact, she was not a very polite girl, she was simply afraid that her father would be angry.
After all, she went out to play this time without her father's knowledge.
Dad didn't take her back because she had already merged with Fox Mountain and could not move.
