A quick encounter leads to a lifetime of misunderstandings

After Murong Yan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she first caught up on her sleep. She just woke up after the Prime Minister returned to the Mansion.

"Xianglan, help me get dressed."

"Yes, miss,"

Xianglan began to serve the original owner since she was a child, grew up with the original owner, and was very loyal to the original owner. When the original owner wanted to get married and become a common wife, she even tried to persuade the original owner, but she was no match for the original owner's love acumen.

Xianglan found that the young lady was very abnormal these days, but she didn't think much about it, thinking that the young lady knew about General Zhao and was hit.

After cleaning up, Murong Yan went to the study to find the prime minister.

"Father."

"Why did Yan'er come to the study? Do you have something to tell your father?"

"Father, my daughter wants to participate in the prince's concubine selection."

The prime minister stood up in surprise, "I disagree, Yan'er. Although the prince is good-looking and has some talents, he will be the emperor in the future. With so many concubines in the harem, you will be wronged."

"Father, I won't let him have another woman."

"Although my treasure Yan'er is the king of the country, he is the prince, so how can you be the only one? You can't ruin your future just because of Zhao Yujue's incident. There are many good men in the capital, and my father will not care about you anymore. It seems that with the support of the Prime Minister's Office, I will not wrong you."

"How could I risk my future for a man? If my father is worried that the prince will betray me, then you should take good care of him for me."

"Yan'er, I will protect you when I'm here, but what will happen if I leave. This royal family is just a prison, so why should you trap yourself in it?"

"Father, to tell you the truth, I just like his skin. I haven't found anyone better-looking than him in the capital. If he dares to have other women in the future, then I will snatch the throne from his family and take it as my own. emperor."

"Could it be that...Yan'er, you actually just want to be the emperor? Then why waste your energy marrying the prince? Let's deal with the emperor first, and then the prince. This emperor is fatuous and easy to deal with, but the prince is a qualified prince. We must deal with it well. A lot of effort.”

Murong Yan: This prime minister’s father is a bit cute and very good at thinking. If he really wanted to be the emperor, he might actually do it.

"Father, what I'm saying is that if your daughter doesn't want to be the emperor yet, what you have to do now for your daughter's happiness is to assist the prince."

"Don't worry, I will give him a hard push, but I'm afraid what you will do if you meet a man you like more (better-looking) in the future."

Before Murong Yan could answer, the Prime Minister touched his chin and said, "If you meet someone you like more, just let him face you. You can't wrong yourself."

Murong Yan: Dad, you really have double standards, but a father with such double standards suits me very well. Also, these ancient people were really conservative and open-minded.

"Did father agree?"

"Looking at your attitude, can I not agree?"

The prime minister thought for a while that the emperor was lecherous and that his daughter's appearance was too dazzling and it would be unsafe for her to enter the East Palace. I still have to use it for my daughter’s sake. So he turned around and opened a hidden compartment behind the bookshelf and took out a bottle.

"Well, let the prince put it in the emperor's food when the time comes."

"This is…"

"This is a poison from the Western Regions. It can slowly drain a person's body. After taking it, he will fall into a coma. When he wakes up, he will not remember what happened before he fell asleep. There is no cure for this poison. After assisting the emperor for so many years, I didn’t want to do this to him. But for the sake of your safety, it’s safer to exclude him, and it’s also a good thing for the people.”

The previous emperor was a wise king who led the people to expand territory and develop the economy. Under his leadership, the country became strong and the people were prosperous. But the current emperor only cares about having fun, building luxurious palaces and neglecting government affairs. He also loves beauty and holds a large number of drafts every year. If it were not for the trusted ministers of the previous emperor guarding the country, I am afraid the country would have been disbanded long ago.

...

Three days later it was time to choose the concubine.

Murong Yan took a carriage to the palace, and when he arrived at the market, he happened to cross paths with Zhao Yujue on horseback.

Zhao Yujue, who was riding on the horse, suddenly felt a pain in his heart and looked towards the carriage where Murong Yan was sitting as if he had some feeling.

Seeing his son covering his chest, the old general Zhao Qin asked: "Yujue, what's wrong with you?"

"Father, I'm fine. Whose carriage is that?"

Zhao Qin took a look and said, "That's the carriage from the Prime Minister's Palace."

"Father, did anything happen between me and the Prime Minister's Mansion before?"

Zhao Qin recalled it carefully, "It seems to be nothing, what's wrong?"

Zhao Yujue glanced at the carriage going away again, "Nothing, let's go back home."

Before losing his memory, Zhao Yujue did not tell them about himself and Murong Yan in order to surprise his family. He thought he would tell them when he came back after the war, and then come to propose marriage. In addition, Murong Yan secretly blocked the news, so Zhao Yujue's parents knew nothing about them, and they had no idea that their daughter-in-law, who was about to get them, was gone.

After a while, they arrived at the palace gate. There were not as many people as expected at the gate to choose a concubine. After all, the prince did not like women to get close to him, and he was an upright man and did not like to be flattered. Many wealthy families hope that dedicating their daughters to the emperor will bring immediate benefits.

The woman from the aristocratic family at the door stretched her neck when she saw the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion approaching. Many people knew that the Prime Minister's daughter was beautiful and talented, but they had never seen her before, so they were very curious about Murong Yan.

At this moment, a slender hand opened the curtain and supported the maid's hand to get out of the carriage. When everyone saw her face clearly, they all forgot to breathe. This... this is so beautiful. With her here today, I have nothing to do with myself, but it is not in vain to be able to stay with the beauty for a while.

Many women, with stars in their eyes, quietly approached Murong Yan. After smelling Murong Yan's very pleasant fragrance, they sighed: The beauty is really good everywhere, and the prince is really lucky.

The nun who was responsible for choosing the concubine came out to lead the people. When she saw Murong Yan, her eyes lit up. Fortunately, she had seen so many noble people, but she had never seen such a beautiful one. It seemed that she had to be careful in her service.

After arriving at the gate of the palace for concubine selection, Li Dequan, the emperor's personal eunuch, went in and asked the emperor for instructions, "Your Majesty, the ladies who came to participate in the concubine selection have arrived outside the palace."

The emperor glanced at the prince and said, "Xuan."

The prince is the daughter of the empress. The empress is the wife designated by the late emperor to the emperor, and she and the emperor are a young couple. The queen's appearance was also very good, so the emperor loved her very much at first. But later, when younger and more beautiful concubines entered the palace one by one, the emperor began to neglect the queen, even despising her for being old and old, and often embarrassing her in front of the concubines. The queen, who came from a scholarly family, had never suffered such humiliation, so she became depressed and died early.

After the emperor didn't want to see the queen, he also didn't want to see the prince. What's more, the prince had both talents and virtues and was highly valued by the courtiers, so the emperor disliked the prince even more. However, he had difficulties in having heirs. Although he had 7 children, he only had one prince, the prince. In order to preserve the royal bloodline, he had to let the prince go. But when the harem gives birth to a prince in the future, he will definitely be deposed.

Because of the death of his mother, the prince no longer had a father-son relationship with the emperor. The father and son now dislike each other.

But today, when choosing a concubine for the prince, as the father, he still has to come forward. Besides, if he sees someone he likes, he can still accept her as a concubine.
