"..... killing two birds with one stone, you shut up, it's impossible!" I said embarrassed. "If this is the case, I would rather accept a concubine..."
Wu Min Jun smiled and touched his chin: "Forget it... I just don't want a concubine, they can only talk, they can't do anything. We have only been married for a little more than two months, it's not like we've been married for two years and you are not pregnant.
I suddenly had a sense of crisis: "What do you mean? Do I have to be two years later...?"
Wu Min Jun just gave me a smile: "Don't think too much, it's the future, who knows what will happen."
I can't take comfort in that...
In the end, Wu Min Jun thought of a way, that is, I should pretend to be very distressed and agree to choose a concubine, then later say it seems that there was no good candidate.
Of course, I don't want it to come to this kind of thing. On the second day, the portraits of the noble daughters were presented along with their birth charts, their talents etc. were written on many papers around the royal study room.
I looked at them, and there were probably no fewer than a hundred. I suddenly felt a headache for Wu Min Jun.
He's very rude when he talks, and it's the same here. I don't know how many times he used my mouth to clean up many people inside and outside, including this one, and he's very rude, destroying people's hearts and livers. The sentences were devastating.
Like Wang Hanlin's daughter, has a small mole above her lips, and they also specifically said that it represents blessings and no one can return to this. Wu Min Jun said that with such a good expression of her mouth, she was not suitable to accept into the harem to avoid disputes.
**(guessing he means since her mouth is so blessed, she must be a talkative so cannot accept to avoid disputes)**
The daughter of Jiang Taishi. The corners of her eyes are slightly raised up. It was beautiful phoenix eyes. He said that she has fox eyes, it was a fascinating phase, then he added, it will be easy to confuse the Emperor and endanger society... What height has it risen to?
In short, the daughter of the East family was too tall for him. The daughter of the West family was too short for him. The daughter of the South family was too fat. The daughter of the North family was too thin.
No one was perfect, he was so picky, and of course, everyone fell short.
As far as I know, in the past two weeks, there have been four or five high-ranking daughters who have been looking to commit suicide. Fortunately, all family members were prepared, so none of them died.
Oh, it was really unbearable to watch...
However, as a result, the Empress was put on the hook.
Everyone was like since the emperor was so picky, then the empress must be a perfect woman, who couldn't be any more perfect again. Otherwise, how can the emperor fall in love at first sight, and even almost abandon the country?
**(remember their story was, they fell in love at first sight when she came to assassinate him, tried to run away from the conflict between their countries, and only later came back because of their duties)**
... As the real Princess Changyi, I was under great pressure.
But fortunately, everyone was only discussing it privately. Although I have heard it a little, no one has eaten the ambition of a leopard to dare to confront me or Wu Min Jun.
Thanks to Wu Min Jun's replies, the concubine selection matter subsided a little bit, and Wu Min Jun has not been accompanying me in the royal study for a while now, it was finally empty today, so we went to the royal study to read the memorials together.
Recently, there have been many things happening. The winter has arrived, and snowstorms have been devastating everywhere, and there have been difficult situations in which people have been frozen or starved to death. In fact, Xi country was already very good, but it was still inevitable that such things will happen, then Bei and the Dong are even in worse conditions. At this time, only the southern part of the country that was warm all year round was good.
There were a lot of things to sort out, and I tried to help Wu Min Jun to deal with some of the not too big things. After all, I have learned some things over time - although these things for the "real" Yun Jiao were, in fact, useless...
I felt the pain in my hands and the pain in my eyes. I put down my pen and rubbed my eyes.
Wu Min Jun and I continued to work until midnight. My hands were sore and my eyes were dry. So I put down my pen, rubbed my eyes, and leaned back on the chair.
Looking at Wu Min Jun, he didn't seem to be very tired - Wu Min Jun seems to have unlimited energy in general. Before when he was replying to the concubine selection, he was equally as energetic, but... I was very worried about whether my body will age faster...
Suddenly, there was a melodious flute sound outside.
Wu Min Jun and I perked up, looking outside confused - in the middle of the night, who was not sleeping and playing the flute?!
And playing the flute in the palace... This... seems to have not violated any decree, because the people who made the decree could not think of such a bizarre thing...But that's not how it's supposed to be, was it?
The flute was clear, but it was quite artistic, but at this time of night, the sound gives off a bit of horror.
I silently looked at Wu Min Jun: "You...you tell me, did you force others in the palace before, and kill a young palace maid...?"
Wu Min Jun: "..."
"I did not," he said... "I am going out to see it."
I thought about it and felt that it was quite horrible to stay alone in the royal study room, so I said, "I will go with you."
Wu Min Jun and I opened the door, and the two guards at the door also stood there with due diligence, but at this time the two did not look very good - because there was a woman wearing a palace dress next to the lotus pond not far from the front of the royal study. The woman had her back to us, the long black hair floating in the air, a green flute across her face, her white hands swimming on it, the clothes on her body also moving with the rhythm of the flute.
The moonlight sprinkled on her, and her profile was a bit abnormal...
I looked at the Wu Min Jun: "You... you dare to say that you have not killed anyone..."
Wu Min Jun: "..."
I looked at his expression and it seems that he was really starting to recall whether he has killed someone or not.'
At this time, the palace lady... I don't know which palace she was from suddenly stopped playing the flute. My heart became tight. According to my experience from reading novels over the years, she was going to turn her back and start telling us her grievances. And, in general, with such a beautiful back, the front must be very scary...
Sure enough, she put down the flute and slowly turned back...
I screamed and shrank to Wu Min Jun's back, leaning my head on him... In fact, it was my own back, I closed my eyes.
It's quiet... very quiet...
Why was there no such sorrowful voice?
I hesitantly to looked up, but found that the palace girl was pretty good looking, and ... looking carefully, it seems to be a normal person. Looking more carefully... it seems to be someone familiar?
Wu Min Jun's memory was obviously better than mine as he said: "You are Liu Ya, the daughter of Liu Shilang?"
