When the emperor heard what Wang Wanru said, he felt heartbroken.

At this moment, it was because of Wang Wanru's words that made the emperor feel that he must bring this person into the harem and make her his concubine.

Because the emperor likes the feeling of being relied on, trusted, and even admired.

In addition, Wang Wanru's appearance is indeed that of a delicate little white flower, which makes people want to protect her at first sight.

Originally, the emperor planned to inform the court officials first, and then use a reason to bring the person into the harem.

This matter itself was very difficult. After all, these ministers had their own candidates they wanted to send to the palace. Now the emperor's move made it easy for them to unite and work together internally.

But seeing Wang Wanru so heartbroken, the emperor really couldn't keep his sanity anymore, so he sighed and said to Wang Wanru: "I am not an irrational and irresponsible person. What happened today was never your fault. It was even our most beautiful encounter, so I will keep it in my heart and cherish it especially!"

"Don't worry, no matter whether you are a legitimate daughter or a concubine's daughter, you are just Wang Wanru to me, and I will marry Wang Wanru!"

After the emperor said this, Wang Wanru became visibly happy and shed a tear as well.

"You have to believe me, I will give you a surprise!" The emperor sighed and took the woman into his arms again.

At this moment, the emperor already had an extremely firm idea in his mind.

The next day, the emperor met up with Zhao Ji and others. In fact, today was the day they set off for their next destination.

So Zhao Ji, the emperor and those important ministers gathered in the lobby of the inn.

While everyone was eating, the emperor suddenly wiped his mouth and put what he was holding on the table.

"I have taken a fancy to a girl and want to bring her to the palace."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, dumbfounding most of the people present.

The one who opposed it most strongly was naturally the Minister of Works, who originally wanted to send his daughter to the harem to have a place in it.

Now, before these people have figured out the positions in the emperor's harem, the emperor has actually found someone himself.

Moreover, as men themselves, they knew very well that the person nominated by the emperor himself was definitely one that the emperor valued.

Once such a person favored by the emperor enters the harem, it will pose a great threat to their daughter.

What's more, the emperor said to bring this woman into the palace, but he did not directly say that he would provide her with any backup, which means that the emperor might give her a very high position.

These ministers are not stupid, they know very well what the emperor is planning.

So the Minister of Works stood up immediately, but he was also very clear that he could not oppose it right away.

"Then may I ask Your Majesty if you have thoroughly investigated the background of this woman?"

In fact, these ministers also vaguely knew that the emperor had gone to the Lantern Festival and even brought back a beautiful woman.

However, they originally thought that this was just a momentary whim of the emperor, but they did not expect that the emperor would directly propose to bring the person to the harem. This was a bit outrageous.

If any woman from the common people could be brought into the harem, then the harem would no longer be safe.

Even the Emperor might be in danger.

Moreover, most women in the common people have low status, so how can they be worthy of being a match for the emperor?

The emperor had expected that someone would ask this question. His expression remained unchanged. He looked at the Minister of Works and said calmly, "This woman has told me all about his identity. What do you think, Minister?"

Upon hearing what the emperor said, the Minister of Industry immediately seized on a flaw: "Your Majesty, please be careful. What you said was what this woman told you. It is very likely that she is lying. I think your Majesty should investigate this person before making a careful decision!"

At the same time, another old minister also stood up and said, "I don't know what information this woman told you, Your Majesty. I also have an old friend in this city who can help Your Majesty quickly identify it!"

The emperor sighed, thinking that these people would know sooner or later, so he simply told these ministers everything that Wang Wanru had told him last night.

"This woman has a gentle personality and is proficient in everything, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although she is a concubine's daughter of the Wang family, she has been no different from the legitimate daughter since she was a child. She has learned all the music, chess, calligraphy and painting that the legitimate daughter has learned, and is even better than her eldest legitimate sister!"

Even though the emperor tried his best to speak for Wang Wanru, the ministers were furious when they heard the word "bastard".

"Your Majesty, please think twice. This woman's status is too low. Moreover, a woman of such low status is not even worthy of bearing children. I hope Your Majesty can consider the future generations!"

"I also think that the emperor should think twice. You know, the ordinary maids in the harem are at least the legitimate daughters of minor officials. If this concubine's daughter becomes the empress, I'm afraid that other people in the harem will not accept it!"

These ministers' words may make sense, but the emperor is not willing to listen to them now.

Now, in the eyes of the emperor, he is a warrior pursuing true love, and these ministers who have tried their best to dissuade him are all obstacles, and each one is an obstacle on his way forward.

Suddenly, the emperor discovered that Zhao Ji had not spoken a word and was just quietly tasting the food.

The emperor still had a glimmer of fantasy in his heart. He looked up and asked Zhao Ji, "What do you think, Regent? Some time ago, the court officials thought that I was old enough and planned to select a concubine from the harem. Now I have chosen one I like. What do you think I should do, Regent?"

In fact, now not only the emperor was looking at Zhao Ji, but everyone else was also looking at Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji had neither a daughter nor any female relatives who could be placed in the emperor's harem, so his opinions at this time were particularly pertinent and objective.

"If the emperor likes her, he can bring her back to the palace. There is no problem with that. However, women from the common people are not very polite. If she attends some banquets, it will be a joke!"

Zhao Ji did not directly dissuade the emperor, but found a random point to talk to the emperor.

The emperor was not in love, he was so crazy that he had lost his mind. He was also very clear about Wang Wanru's shortcomings.

This kind of woman who is not brought up in an aristocratic family may be freer and unrestrained in her every move, but she also has no rules.

It is precisely because there are no rules that it is easy to make a fool of yourself.

The emperor naturally also hoped that Wang Wanru could be as elegant as those women from aristocratic families in her every move.
