Chapter 460: Big Heart and Love to Watch Shows
He Linzhang choked and said helplessly: "I saw that your waist was sore and you wanted Qingfeng to massage it for you, so I took you out for a walk to relieve it. Besides, I don't want to hide anything from you, so it doesn't hurt for you to listen together."
He Linzhang's words instantly made Princess Qinghe so angry that she almost wanted to cry.
I had clearly made an appointment with him alone, but why was he so ignorant that he insisted on bringing his concubines with him? It really infuriated me!
"What? You don't want to talk anymore?" He Linzhang asked with a frown when he saw Princess Qinghe was looking depressed and not talking.
The opportunity was rare, Princess Qinghe gritted her teeth and chose to ask: "Actually, it's not that the former Princess of Yan has something to say, but I have something to ask myself."
Tao Yanyan raised his eyebrows and gave He Linzhang a look that showed he was enjoying a good show, his eyes full of curiosity to hear gossip.
He Linzhang: “…”
I always feel that what Princess Qinghe wants to ask is not a good thing.
But Princess Qinghe could no longer care about so many things. If she did not ask today, she would never have the chance to see the Emperor of Great Zhou again, nor would she have the chance to ask again. So she asked without hesitation: "Your Majesty, when my brother chose me to marry you, he originally wanted me to enter your Majesty's harem. I don't know what is wrong with Qinghe that makes you so disgusted and unwilling to accept me into the palace?"
As soon as these words were spoken, He Linzhang felt extremely embarrassed, especially when he was questioned by another woman in front of Tao Yanyan, which made him feel a little embarrassed for a moment.
Tao Yanyan sat up straight, pricked up his ears, and looked at He Linzhang with burning eyes, wanting to hear how he was going to comfort the other person.
He Linzhang noticed the little concubine's movements and sighed helplessly in his heart: His words are all good, but he is a little too careless. At this time, he only wants to listen to gossip and doesn't even think about standing up to declare his sovereignty!
Could it be that Yan Yan had no possessiveness towards him? He Linzhang suddenly felt that his love life was a bit bitter.
He Linzhang said, "It's not that I didn't take you into the harem on purpose, but I have decided that from now on, I will never take another concubine into the harem. Besides, I don't think that marriage is the best way to maintain diplomatic relations between the two countries. I don't like this form and I rejected it clearly from the beginning. I'm sure you know it. If it weren't for your King of Northern Yan who insisted on sending you here, and if it weren't for King Yong's initiative to propose marriage, I would have rejected the marriage again."
When Princess Qinghe heard this resolute answer, she felt a chill rising from her feet and rushing straight into her heart, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She never thought that he had never taken a fancy to the princess of Yan State from the beginning, and she never thought that her burning heart would instantly cool down after meeting him!
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, it has been common for emperors to have three palaces and six courtyards. There are three thousand beauties in the harem. As a man, are you still worrying too much? I'm afraid you are just making up an excuse to fool me." Princess Qinghe said coldly.
Her father had countless concubines in the harem, her elder brother was in poor health, and there were so many people in the harem, and even her second brother, who was devoted to fighting wars, was now recruiting beauties in the harem. Even the former sister-in-law was taken by her second brother and became a concubine. She didn't believe that He Linzhang, who was also an emperor, would be reluctant to take in new people and would leave such a rare beauty like her unmoved.
He Linzhang listened to her questioning voice and said with some displeasure: "I am the emperor, do I need to lie to you about this matter? Well, I have already answered your question. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, you are a guest from afar, please go to the main hall and take your seat."
After all, she was a princess of a country. Although He Linzhang was a little angry, he didn't bother with her.
But how could Princess Qinghe give up?
She bit her lip, glanced at Tao Yanyan, and said boldly: "Your Majesty, this move is a bit too arbitrary. Aren't you afraid of ruining a good marriage? I am proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and my appearance is stunning. You rejected me before you met me, but now that we meet, can't you feel the slightest bit of excitement?"
He Linzhang: “…”
Being confessed to in front of the concubine, I was really worried that she would be upset with me when she went back!
He quickly glanced at Tao Yanyan, and seeing that she was watching the show with more interest, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "Princess Qinghe, why do you have to bear a grudge? Prince Yong is also the most handsome man in the Great Zhou royal family. Besides, you are the equal wife of Prince Yong, which is equivalent to the princess. Isn't that good?"
Princess Qinghe shook her head and said, "Not good. Your Majesty, you may want to think about it for two more days. I will wait for your news."
Tao Yanyan, who was watching the excitement from the side, ate melons throughout the whole process, and couldn't help but applaud the courage of the Princess of Yan. But admiring her courage is one thing, and being angry at her for confessing her love to her man in front of him is another. Tao Yanyan was a little angry.
"Haha, thank you Princess for your admiration for my Majesty, but my Majesty is not interested in women right now. You can't force him to bring you into the palace and ignore him."
Tao Yanyan's words made He Linzhang grit his teeth: What do you mean by not interested in women? He just has no interest in other women except her. And what do you mean by not interested in seeing anyone? It's obvious that he has always been interested in her!
However, when he saw Princess Qinghe's pensive look, He Linzhang could only sigh in his heart and follow the little concubine to solve the problem - even if it was in the name of slandering himself.
Humph, I’ll settle the score with you, this little liar, when I get home tonight!
"I, I believe that as long as Your Majesty understands me, he will definitely like me. I am not one of those vulgar women." Princess Qinghe insisted.
Tao Yanyan narrowed his eyes, then smiled and said, "But what can I do? My Majesty doesn't want to get to know you better! Also, if you don't want to marry King Yong, I hope you can take the initiative to propose it and then go back to your Yan State. After all, it is your Yan State that is clamoring for a marriage, not my Great Zhou."
Princess Qinghe choked. If she could gain the favor of the Emperor of Great Zhou, she would regret her marriage to Prince Yong. But the Emperor of Great Zhou refused to let her enter the palace.
If he canceled the engagement, he would have no way out. Even if he returned to the State of Yan, he would not be liked by his royal brother. His royal brother might even get angry and kill him.
After all, the people who were sent out came back intact, and the Yan royal family couldn't afford to lose face.
Seeing that she had lost her resolute spirit, Tao Yanyan knew that when it came to interests, Princess Qinghe had chosen to let her emotions take the place of interests.
She will not break off the engagement and will marry into Prince Yong's Mansion.
Tao Yanyan blinked at He Linzhang and said cutely, "Your Majesty, please give Princess Qinghe a few more days to think about it. After all, this is a major event in life and cannot be taken lightly."
He Linzhang looked at her helplessly and said, "Can we take our seats now?"
Eunuch Zhang was very considerate and walked up to Princess Qinghe and said, "Princess, please."
Princess Qinghe looked at He Linzhang again and had to go back reluctantly.
When only Tao Yanyan and He Linzhang were left in the side hall, He Linzhang walked up to Tao Yanyan and pinched her face: "I have no interest in women? I have no interest in anyone? Yanyan, why don't you explain it to me?"
Tao Yanyan felt that she spoke too quickly and bluntly, touching on men's sensitive spots.
“Oh~ Your Majesty~ Didn’t I say that to deceive her? If I didn’t say that, how could I make her give up?” As she spoke, she leaned into He Linzhang’s arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and whispered in his ear: “Your Majesty is so brave, I know it all. Not only I know, the other concubines... mmmmm..."
He Linzhang lowered his head and held that irritating little mouth, not letting go for a long time.
