“I am my father’s biological son, so of course I am the same as him! But, when it comes to taking concubines, we have nothing to do with each other! Ke’er, think about it, I grew up being tortured by my father’s concubines since I was a child. How could I possibly take a bunch of concubines and make my son suffer along with me? That doesn’t make any sense! Besides, you’re so beautiful that you’ll stay beautiful until you’re eighty years old. Do you think I would give you up and like someone else? I must be blind.”
After a pause, Lan Linxue continued, "Even if I were blind, I would never fall for anyone else! Don't forget, when you first met me, you said you liked men! How could someone like me, after having you, possibly want a concubine? That's simply impossible!"
Qin Kou'er glared at Lan Linxue, and after a long while, she finally managed to hum and say, "You still haven't forgotten that you like men? Does that mean you're still thinking about it? From now on, instead of finding a woman to be your concubine, you'll secretly keep a bunch of men around to annoy me?"
Lan Linxue's eyes widened immediately. He now completely understood that if a woman wanted to be unreasonable with you, even if you ripped out your heart and gave it to her, she would still say that her heart was black, ugly, and tasteless.
Upon hearing Qin Kou'er's words, several of the people at the gate couldn't contain themselves and ran off. Once inside the courtyard, their laughter was so intense it nearly burst their stomachs.
Lan Linxue felt that nothing she said now would make a difference.
He stopped talking, stood up, took his dagger from his leg, and slammed it into the table.
"Qin Kou'er! Just rip my heart out right now, I can't live like this!"
Upon hearing that Lan Linxue dared to act arrogantly towards her, Qin Kou'er's eyes immediately widened: "You actually dare to talk back to me? Lan Linxue, have you lost all sense of family discipline?"
"Then what do you suggest? Make me kneel down before you?"
Lan Linxue really couldn't take it anymore. What was this all about, so nonsensical?
Qin Kou'er glared at Lan Linxue for a long time before turning her eyes and saying, "Go, bring me the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone!"
Lan Linxue was so angry that she shouted outside, "Bring me pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!"
"I told you to go!" Qin Kou'er rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Lan Linxue glared at Qin Kou'er, held back her anger, and then stubbornly turned around to get her things.
Having prepared the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, Lan Linxue sat down with a very intuitive feeling, ready to begin writing: "Speak! What do you want me to do!"
"At least you have some self-awareness!" Qin Kou'er sneered, then glared at Lan Linxue and began to recite: "Lan Linxue, a descendant of the Lan family, hereby swears: If he ever dares to take a concubine (regardless of gender) into the palace, he will immediately pass the throne to the Crown Prince and never become emperor again! At the same time, upon ascending the throne, he will immediately abolish the ancestral system of taking concubines in the harem; otherwise, his Empress Qin Kou'er has the right to directly abolish the harem and hold court to witness the proceedings. If he ever violates this oath, he will be forbidden from seeing his family in life and from being buried in the ancestral graveyard in death. Lan Linxue swears this oath!"
Lan Linxue watched Qin Kou'er write stroke by stroke, and thought to himself that this woman was really writing with a painstaking effort.
After he finished writing, Qin Kou'er forced him to put his fingerprint on it.
After checking it one last time, he was finally satisfied and put it in his pocket.
Seeing that Qin Kou'er's expression had finally calmed down, Lan Linxue sighed deeply, realizing how difficult it was to find a wife.
"What are you doing? Are you regretting it?" Qin Kou'er glanced at Lan Linxue and asked suspiciously.
Lan Linxue was startled, but quickly said with a smile, "What regret! I'm overjoyed!"
As she spoke, Lan Linxue walked to Qin Kou'er's side and patted her back in a flattering manner, "With this guarantee, I won't have to worry about those messy concubine selection matters anymore! Isn't that great?"
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue with some suspicion, and finally sighed: "Don't say I'm always jealous, it's just that life in the harem is too terrible. I'm afraid that if you take a concubine in the future, I won't be able to stand it and I'll kill them all in a fit of anger, which will affect our relationship."
After saying that, Qin Kou'er sighed deeply, her face full of desolation.
Upon seeing this, Lan Linxue quickly comforted her, "Kou'er, don't worry, I promise you, absolutely no one in this world can affect our relationship. Not even my father, let alone anyone else, let alone some other woman! But tell me, why did you suddenly think of these things?"
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue, nodded, and then immediately glared at the door.
Upon seeing this, Lan Linxue immediately roared at the people below, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a husband doting on his wife? Get out!"
Immediately, everyone below scattered and ran away.
After Lan Linxue and the others had all run away, she hurried over to Qin Kou'er's side to listen to her speak.
Qin Kou'er then recounted what had just happened to Lan Linxue.
When Lan Linxue heard that Hu Qianyu was dead, she almost jumped up.
It was truly unexpected that his father's actions were so ruthless and swift.
"Linxue, if you think about it, both your mother and Hu Qianyu are pitiful and suffer a lot. Their lives were ruined by a man. I even think that if Hu Qianyu hadn't loved the Emperor so much, none of this would have happened. So, I'm terrified that one day another woman will come between us, and then all our happiness will be gone! Our son will suffer too! I'm really scared!"
Lan Linxue quickly reached out and hugged Qin Kou'er tightly: "Don't worry, I will never like any other woman! Not even a glance! Don't worry, as soon as I ascend the throne, I will immediately change all the family rules, and then I will marry you as my only wife."
Qin Kou'er leaned against Lan Linxue's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and slowly relaxed.
Seeing that Qin Kou'er had relaxed, Lan Linxue quickly said, "Wife, I think there's something we need to do tonight!"
"What's up?"
"Of course it's about your talent show! If Lan Xiuyuan doesn't add your name to the list tonight, he'll be in deep trouble tomorrow! Even though Hu Qianyu has lost her official status, she's still Lan Xiuyuan's mother. He won't participate in this talent show. And then, your name definitely won't appear!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Kou'er immediately straightened up from her embrace and stared blankly at Lan Linxue.
Right, how could she forget about that?
What are we going to do?!
