Leaving these words behind, he staggered out of the main hall and headed straight for the bedroom in the backyard.
That was where he and Luo Xue lived together, but from today on, she would never come back.
For the sake of so-called filial piety, he divorced the woman he loved most. He knew he was wrong, extremely wrong, but in order to prevent Luo Xue from being harassed by his mother, he had no choice but to do this.
He pushed open the door weakly, caressing the bed that smelled of Luo Xue. He lay down with his clothes on, smelling the familiar scent. She suddenly thought of the scene when he slept under the window when they first got married. He smiled, a sad smile...
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Tao came to him with a basin of hot water and said in a very gentle voice:
"Your Highness, you've been tired all day. Let Xiaotao wash your feet."
Leng Ming was too lazy to open his eyes and refused directly.
"No need, get out."
"Your Highness, I have just boiled some water. Please soak your feet and sleep comfortably."
"go out."
"Your Majesty..."
"Get out."
Leng Ming was obviously getting impatient. Xiao Tao frowned and was about to reach out to take the basin of water when Leng Ming said in a deep voice:
"No one is allowed to disturb this king."
Xiao Tao gritted her teeth and looked at him bravely.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what you said when you were in the cold palace?"
Leng Ming didn't say anything.
Xiao Tao said again:
"You promised to marry Xiaotao, are you not keeping your word?"
"roll!"
He yelled at Xiao Tao with one word, and Xiao Tao was so frightened that she didn't dare to continue. He cursed her again,
"I told you to get out, didn't you hear me?"
Xiao Tao bit her lips unwillingly, picked up the basin of hot water, turned around, and left angrily.
When the door closed, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"When has this prince ever kept his word? I promised Luo Xue that I would listen to her for the rest of my life, but now, just a few years later, I've broken my promise..."
Just when he thought his heart was empty, the door was pushed open again.
He asked in a moment of irritation,
"Get out of here!"
"Ming'er, it's mother. Look who I brought you."
Hearing this, Leng Ming suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the door. He even wondered if Luo Xue had returned.
But when he saw who was coming, he was so disappointed that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
It turned out that his mother brought the four beauties to him. He closed his eyes again and waved his hands weakly.
"Everyone get out."
Chang took a few steps forward.
"Ming'er, the mothers of these four girls have checked their backgrounds, and their family backgrounds are all very clean. This girl named Xiaoqian, her father is the prefect, and she has been well-versed in reading since childhood..."
"go out."
Leng Ming's voice suddenly rose, which scared Chang so much that she frowned and then waved to the four beauties.
The four ladies grumbled in grievance and retreated quietly.
Chang looked at Leng Ming lying on the bed, sighed, and advised softly:
"Ming'er, what's so good about Liu Luoxue that makes you so attached to her? Which of these four girls is not a hundred times more beautiful than her? Why are you so stubborn?"
"Stop talking, I want to sleep."
"Ming'er, even if you don't want to marry a wife right now, it's okay to choose a woman to warm your bed. If one of them is good enough and gives birth to a son for you, then I'll have a grandson to hold in my arms. It's better than being depressed like this!"
"You get out..."
There was anger in his voice. Chang wanted to say something, but when she saw him glaring at her, she frowned, turned around, and walked out unwillingly.
Leng Ming suddenly laughed, a desperate laugh...
…
February 5th
Today is the day to go out of the city for hunting. The weather in Daning Kingdom is gradually warming up in this February.
Qixia Palace
Yongping sat in front of the bronze mirror, letting the palace maids around her dress her. Her face had a graceful and elegant look.
Yongning came hurriedly and asked directly after entering the house:
"Sister, what's the point of going out of town hunting? I don't want to go. You guys go."
"no. "
Yongping's answer was crisp and clear, without a trace of hesitation.
"Why not? I don't understand why you're so insistent on going hunting. First, it's not a warm day, and second, you're going to the wilderness. Aren't you afraid of encountering wild animals or bandits? Besides, if you want to go, just go ahead. Why do you have to take me with you?"
"Because you are from Nanping Country."
"What's wrong with the people of Nanping? Daning is still my mother's country. What does this have to do with whether I go hunting or not?"
Seeing that she was a little agitated, Yongping simply waved his hand and sent away the servants around him.
After the servants saluted, they all retreated. Yongping then looked at Yongning and pointed to the round stool beside him.
"sit down."
Although Yongning could be a little willful sometimes, she was afraid of Yongning deep down, because she knew in her heart that if her elder sister had not protected her, she would have died countless times in the Nanping Palace.
So she sat obediently opposite Yongping and waited for her to speak.
Yongping raised his hand, wiped his hair, and said calmly:
"We came to Daning Kingdom this time. Do you really think His Majesty wants you to come back to visit your relatives?"
Yongning looked at her in surprise.
"Sister, what do you mean by that?"
"Yongping, I know you've been suppressed for too long in Nanping. Only since coming to Daning have you been able to reveal your true character. But I advise you to be more calculating when doing things, and not to show everything on your face. Just like now, I've arranged for you to go hunting with us, and I have my reasons. Just be obedient and don't ask too many questions, understand?"
