Chapter 94 Could it be... that he likes homosexuality?
Xie Jingmo was not interested in this matter.
Emperor Xie Chen looked at him and smiled, "Why? You don't like anyone, or do you already have a woman you like? If so, General Xie, please tell me and I will make the decision for you."
This moment.
A figure flashed through Xie Jingmo's mind.
However, it was soon ignored by Xie Jingmo.
"No." Xie Jingmo did not seem very respectful when facing the emperor. He answered questions with a very indifferent expression.
The Emperor looked at him and sighed, "Mother has always hoped that you could get married. You've been away for the past few years, and although you haven't had much contact with women, there shouldn't be no women in the frontier. If you find someone you truly like, regardless of family background, I will definitely fulfill your wish."
Xie Jingmo still said: "No."
The emperor had no choice but to give up. "Well, now that you're back, your mother will arrange your marriage for you." The emperor spread out the many portraits on the table and said, "Come, show me which one is worthy of being my concubine."
Xie Jingmo didn't even look at him, just said that there was something going on in the army, and left.
Wait until the person walks away.
The emperor gradually stopped smiling.
"Your Majesty, seeing the prince return this time, he seems much calmer than before." Prime Minister Guo Tao stepped out from behind the curtain. "I think he must have been experienced on the frontier."
When the emperor heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes.
But it only lasted a few seconds, and then everything returned to normal.
He laughed, "Of course he is. My uncle has always liked him, and my mother also cares about him. Now that he has a calmer personality, I think he will be even more favored by my uncle and mother."
Hearing this, Guo Tao lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. No one can be more favored than you."
Emperor Xie Chen smiled when he heard this and said, "I just said it casually, uncle, don't worry."
Guo Tao lowered his head even lower.
"Okay, let's see if there is any beauty among these girls who is suitable for our royal family." The emperor said in a relaxed tone.
Guo Tao remained respectful as he followed the emperor.
"They're all just some vulgar cosmetics." The emperor looked at them casually, throwing those he didn't like to the ground. He walked around the long table with a cold and arrogant look in his eyes. "The ministers always say that I have few children, but every year, the ones sent to me are all these vulgar women who look like shrewd concubines at first glance. They follow the three obediences and four virtues, and are not very interesting in etiquette and morality."
Guo Tao lowered his head and said, "Official girls are always better educated than commoner girls. They are the most suitable to enter the palace and have children for you."
The emperor smiled and threw several portraits on the long table to the ground.
Like throwing away garbage, with contempt in his expression.
Guo Tao lowered his eyebrows and frowned slightly.
Guo Tao didn't stand there for long before leaving on the pretext of having something to do.
When they had not gone far, the emperor sneered, "Wang Zhong," he called the old eunuch beside him, "follow him and see, my uncle, a pillar of the court, second only to the emperor, is leaving me in such a hurry. Is he going to look for my dear brother?"
Wang Zhong: "I'll go right away."
The candlelight flickered as the emperor walked past the long table. Suddenly, his gaze stopped on a portrait for a long time.
The portrait was hastily drawn, but the person in the painting cannot hide her beauty, with a pair of lively and affectionate eyes, and a gentle and flowing light.
He picked up the portrait.
When Xie Jingmo was about to walk out of the palace, he heard hurried footsteps coming from behind him.
"uncle."
Guo Tao stopped and looked at Xie Jingmo with satisfaction, "You have indeed calmed down." The late emperor had eight children, but now there are only five left. The current emperor is suspicious, so the other three were assigned to remote areas to become vassal kings.
The Empress Dowager favored Xie Jingmo more, and she was the emperor's biological mother, so Xie Jingmo stayed in the capital.
Guo Tao sighed, looking at Xie Jingmo's sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, he felt very sorry, "You were the only one who had the chance at the beginning, your uncle feels sorry for you."
Xie Jingmo chuckled, "I don't want to do anything laborious. Whoever wants to sit in that seat can do so. Uncle, there's no need to feel sorry for me."
The biggest reason why Xie Jingmo was able to stay in the capital was that when the late emperor was alive, he never had any thoughts about the throne. The late emperor initially favored him, but seeing that Xie Jingmo was becoming more and more reckless, he had to give up.
All the confidants of the late emperor knew that the throne should have belonged to Xie Jingmo.
But he himself doesn't care the least.
But he doesn't care, even though some people covet him and some people are wary of him.
Guo Tao sighed and walked out with Xie Jingmo. "You don't need to worry about Chen Tingting's matter. With your uncle here, they won't dare to say anything. The Chen family is domineering, and Chen Tingting is also pretentious and doesn't deserve you."
Xie Jingmo smiled, looking a bit like the laid-back prince he used to be. "Yeah."
Guo Tao saw Xie Jingmo smile and started laughing too. "Is there really no woman you like at the border? Don't blame your uncle for pushing you. You've been fighting at the border for seven years. It was impossible. Now that you're back, at your age, without a wife, you'll be laughed at in the capital."
Xie Jingmo nodded, "Whoever wants to laugh at me can laugh at me, but I have no children, so wouldn't the capital be more at ease?"
Guo Tao widened his eyes when he heard this.
He looked around and lowered his head carefully. Seeing this, Xie Jingmo also lowered his head.
Then he heard Guo Tao say in a trembling, cautious, low voice, "Jing Mo... are you... a homosexual?"
Xie Jingmo: “…”
A moment later.
Xie Jingmo laughed out loud, finding it amusing and novel.
If he was a homosexual, it would be a joke for Yun Zhao to have been with him for seven years.
"Well," Xie Jingmo put away his smile in the face of Guo Tao's astonished eyes, "Uncle, does anyone have a good recommendation?"
Guo Tao sucked in a breath of cold air, and the flesh on his face trembled in the night.
When Xie Jingmo saw this, he laughed again, and his laughter echoed and spread far away.
Xie Jingmo did not return to the palace, but went straight back to the military camp.
Before entering the camp, he glanced around and asked, "Where's she?"
Deputy General Gao played dumb, "Who?"
Xie Jingmo glared at the person beside him.
Deputy General Gao laughed and said, "He said he was just wandering around the capital. If there was nothing else to do, he wouldn't return to the camp."
Xie Jingmo sneered, "She is so free and easy."
Deputy General Gao nodded with a smile, "After all, girls are girls, they like excitement. Seven years at the frontier must have been boring. Besides, the handsome scholars outside are so pleasing to the eye, unlike the soldiers in the army, who have no interest at all."
Xie Jingmo changed into his casual clothes and asked, "Did you tell me where you're staying?"
Deputy General Gao said, "Yuefu Inn."
Xie Jingmo tied his belt and went out.
Deputy General Gao looked at Xie Jingmo in his casual clothes and clicked his tongue several times. "Seven years at the frontier haven't made the general rough. He's still as handsome as he was seven years ago."
Xie Jingmo went directly to the Yuefu Inn. Seeing Xie Jingmo's imposing appearance, the innkeeper was very polite and said, "The guest is out, and I don't know when he will be back."
Xie Jingmo sat in the hall and waited.
Yun Zhao came back from outside after everyone around had left. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the corners of his eyes were a little red.
