The Eighth Prince stood up, bowed to the Emperor, and pleaded, "Your Majesty, Lan Xin is deeply in love with you. Please grant her wish."
The emperor snorted coldly, "I am a man of both civil and military talents, handsome and elegant. Countless women admire me, their number stretching from Fuyao Pavilion to the borderlands. But this is their wishful thinking. What does it have to do with me?"
Lan Xin: “?”
Eighth Prince: “…”
The rest of the people: “…”
The emperor sighed and continued, "If every woman were to commit suicide and insist on marrying me, would I have to marry her? I'm afraid the entire palace wouldn't be able to accommodate them all!"
Su Qiqi couldn't help but burst out laughing: [Narcissism is contagious! I can't believe the tyrant godfather has actually learned the young marquis's tricks!]
[But let's be honest, our tyrant godfather is talented, powerful, and rich. Who wouldn't like him?]
"Lan Xin doesn't ask for a position, she only wants to stay by the emperor's side and serve him, even if it's just serving tea and water..."
Seeing that the emperor was about to refuse, Lan Xin quickly retreated and hoped to compromise.
Su Qiqi raised her orchid finger and imitated in a sarcastic tone: [Yo yo yo, I only want to stay by the emperor's side and serve him, even if it means serving tea and water~]
[Then find another opportunity to climb onto the dragon bed~]
[Give birth to a dragon fetus, and let the father go and keep the son! ]
The emperor glanced at Su Qiqi in his arms: Little guy, you are really a little naughty.
Su Qiqi blinked and stared at the emperor: [Tyrant, you are so smart, you should be able to see that Lan Xin has bad intentions, right?]
The emperor looked at Lan Xin and said calmly, "Do you know how hot my tea is? Do you know what kind of incense I like to burn when I read? Do you understand my daily habits?"
"this……"
How could she, an outsider, get a glimpse into the emperor's living habits?
If she knew, it would be abnormal.
Lan Xin gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please give me a chance. I will humbly consult the seniors who serve before you, and I will also keep your preferences in mind..."
The emperor said, "Zhao Xu is enough for me. Go back to where you came from."
"Your Majesty..." Lan Xin didn't know what to do for a moment and could only look at the Eighth Prince for help.
The Eighth Prince said, "Your Majesty, Lan Xin is my most beloved niece. You..."
Bang!
Before the Eighth Prince could finish his words, the Emperor slapped the table.
Su Qiqi was frightened.
When everyone in the hall saw that the emperor was angry, they lowered their heads and kept silent, fearing that they would be implicated.
The emperor glared at the Eighth Prince and angrily said, "Countless people want to serve me. Do you think I have to take them all into my harem as soon as they cry? Do you think my palace is an inn? You can just come in whenever you want?!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down..." The Eighth Prince gritted his teeth and knelt down, still considering his words in his mind.
I just kept thinking about it, but I still couldn't come up with a suitable explanation.
For a moment, the hall was too quiet.
Having seen enough of the drama, the Queen Mother sighed deeply: "Forget it, forget it. I actually think this Miss Lan Xin is quite good. Let her stay in my palace for the time being."
"Mother! This..."
"My dear, your uncle's good intentions are all for your own good."
"No, you..."
"Anyway, Lan Xin will stay in Yongshou Palace for the time being. I have made up my mind, so there is no need to discuss it further."
The emperor wanted to speak out to stop them, but the empress dowager had an attitude that would not tolerate any refusal, and even seemed to be helping the Eighth Prince and Lan Xin in her words.
"Thank you, Queen."
Lan Xin heaved a sigh of relief: It seems the Queen Mother wants the Emperor to take a concubine. That's fine, being close to the Queen Mother would be easier for her to do for the Prince.
As long as she can get the Queen Mother's support, there will be countless opportunities. She has a lot of skills, and sooner or later she will be able to win the Emperor!
Thinking of this, Lan Xin couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
At the same time, the Queen Mother looked at the Eighth Prince with a trace of disdain in her eyes: "Fool, since you covet the throne, don't even think about living any longer! It's the end of the year, and it's time to clean up these bugs."
