The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

The idea of ​​betraying his son has been on Emperor Mingde's mind for a long time.

It's not entirely for Tang Chujun, but as an emperor, he cannot understand the suffering of the people at the first line and cannot truly feel the lives of the people.

He couldn't move a single step in the palace, constrained by his status as an emperor.

If he could get rid of this bondage, walk among the people, visit more places incognito, rectify the wrongs, understand the needs of the people, and have the status of the emperor to helm the Northern Wing court and control the direction, wouldn't that be perfect?

Of course, he never thought of making the prince a puppet.

He himself suffered from it, and would never repeat the same mistake. He just wanted to be the eyes and ears of the Northern Wing court, to see, hear, and feel.

After calming down, Emperor Mingde visited Tang Chujun on the night of the Lantern Festival.

He knew that Tang Chujun had been annoyed by people proposing marriage to him recently, and there were many people among them who were difficult to offend.

It was still snowing that night. Emperor Mingde wore a mask on his face and brought a huge octagonal nanmu palace lantern to the Young Master's Mansion and took him directly to Yu Sheng Pavilion.

Eunuch Qi first entered the mansion to clear the way and sent away all the outsiders, but the sharp-eyed Qiu Hongyan still discovered the clues.

Qiu Hongyan's eyes widened as she ran towards Tang Chujun's room, "Madam! Madam! That, that, that masked man... that palace lantern..."

Tang Chujun was concentrating on writing a romantic story. He put down his pen and said with a smile, "Hongyan, why are you so impatient?"

Qiu Hongyan panted and pointed outside, "Masked man, palace lantern, old lady, go and see, go and see, I guarantee you will be shocked."

Tang Chujun washed his hands slowly, wiped them dry with a towel, and then walked out slowly.

In the distance, the octagonal lanterns were spinning in the snowy night.

In the interweaving of light and shadow, a man stood with his hands behind his back and facing a tall figure.

With just one glance at the figure, Tang Chujun knew that the man was Emperor Mingde.

She slowly approached, two red clouds on her face, and stopped about two feet away from Emperor Mingde and knelt down to pay respect, "I greet the emperor, long live the emperor."

Emperor Mingde slowly turned around, saw her kneeling, and stepped forward to help her up.

The palace lantern was still spinning, and the warm light and shadow fell on the woman's face, making the shadows hazy and dim.

His heart skipped a beat. "From now on, you don't have to kneel down to me anymore."

Tang Chujun's face turned red with shame. He looked up at the man and found that he was wearing a mask.

The mask was of a fat boy... She suddenly thought something was wrong, and sure enough, she saw that Emperor Mingde also had a mask of a fat girl in his hand.

In an instant, what was there to be ashamed of? Tang Chujun closed his eyes fiercely and said angrily, "Your Majesty, I am not fat anymore!"

"I'll get fat if I put it on." Emperor Mingde obviously didn't understand women's little thoughts. Which good person would want to get fat?

He reached out and carefully put the mask on Tang Chujun. At the end, he looked very satisfied and said, "It looks good."

The main thing is that without the mask on, facing the real person, he wouldn’t be able to say what he was going to say next.

Now, each of them was covered by a mask. There was no one around except the two of them.

Emperor Mingde suppressed his surging emotions and bowed deeply to Tang Chujun like a sincere young man, "Jun'er, this is the palace lantern I won for you at the Lantern Festival today."

Jun'er! Tang Chujun blushed and was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.

The mask was indeed useful. She could look directly at the fat boy opposite her. After a long while, she asked, "What does the emperor mean?"

Emperor Mingde also looked at the masked girl opposite him before he could say, "I know that many people have come to propose marriage recently, I hope you won't agree. Wait for me, at most three years, and wait for me to marry you, okay?"

Tang Chujun's whole body trembled.

Will you wait for me to marry you?

This, this, this! Is it so sudden?

She was totally unprepared, her heart was in turmoil, and she spoke faster than her heart could move. "But I don't want to enter the palace."

"I didn't express myself clearly." Emperor Mingde had already written out his thoughts several times before coming here, but he still spoke stutteringly, "No, you don't have to enter the palace. I can just leave the palace."

Tang Chujun still didn't understand, "I can't be a concubine."

Her mind was now clear. If she became someone else's mistress, would her children still have dignity?

It was one thing that she loved Emperor Mingde, but she would definitely not allow him to secretly be her concubine.

Emperor Mingde was overjoyed when he heard this.

The meaning of not being able to be a concubine is that you can be the principal wife.

He skipped the "Do you like me?" part. How wise. You have to be direct when you act.

"No, I won't be a concubine. I definitely won't be a concubine." Emperor Mingde promised. For the first time, he felt that he was so close to happiness. "So you promised to wait for me for three years?"

Tang Chujun was a little confused, "Huh?"

How could she agree to this?

She was just curious, "Why three years?"

"I have to deal with the important matters and arrange everything before I can leave the palace, don't you think?" Emperor Mingde was very excited. "Don't worry."

Tang Chujun: "..."

How do I look anxious?

Her heart was as confused as a horse running on the grassland. She was not ready to marry again. She had planned to stay single for the rest of her life and live with her son and daughter.

But now the one who said he wanted to marry her was Emperor Mingde. How could she refuse?

The light and shadow of the palace lanterns intertwined in the night. The man took off the mask on his face, revealing a mature and handsome face.

His eyes were bright and determined.

After Emperor Mingde left, Tang Chujun returned to his room in a daze.

The octagonal nanmu palace lantern was moved into her room under the command of Eunuch Qi. She touched the flickering palace lantern and felt like she was having a beautiful dream.

Emperor Mingde asked her to wait for three years.

It is said in the storybooks that men's words are lies, and they always last for three years and three years.

Is Emperor Mingde trustworthy?

Then in the middle of the night, Tang Chujun went crazy and ran to Tinglan Courtyard to look for his daughter.

After hearing Bei Hui say, "Madam was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep before, and now she just fell asleep." She left silently again.

Then he went to wander outside Yao Sheng's door, wanting to go in and chat about the ten taels of silver.

Tang Chujun felt a great power in her chest, and she urgently needed to open a gap. In fact, although she was sober, she was a woman who could not get out of the petty love.

She is far less courageous than Yu Sujun, who has many ideas and dares to speak and act.

That whole night, Tang Chujun's mind was filled with Emperor Mingde.

Over and over again, she thought silently about everything that had happened between her and him in the past.

She would wake up laughing even in her sleep.

After waking up from laughing, she thought again, what did Emperor Mingde mean by asking her to wait for three years? He also said that he would definitely not let her be a concubine.

Oh my God, is Emperor Mingde going to abdicate just for her?

Tang Chujun sat up suddenly, his face falling. Wouldn't she then become the sinner who brought disaster to the country and the people of Beiyi?
