The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

A gust of spring breeze blew, the peach blossom forest was filled with fragrance, and pink petals fell with the wind.

The emperor accompanied Qinghe for a walk and told her about his past...

The two of them came under a peach tree. The emperor stopped and looked at Qinghe affectionately and said, "The biggest regret in my life is that I met the person I loved most at an age when I had no ability... But fortunately, God had mercy on me and I met you in my old age. Qinghe, are you willing to stay by my side and let me take care of you and cherish you? I want to enjoy all the prosperity and beauty of this world with you..."

Qinghe looked at the emperor without saying a word.

I found that although he is no longer young, he is still a handsome, elegant and mature man.

But behind this gentle and elegant temperament, there is something sinister and dark. He looks very difficult to approach and seems to be very cruel and ruthless!

Qing He lowered her eyelashes and remained silent.

She had never seen her father since she was a child, and had always longed to marry a gentle, upright and responsible man. Apart from the huge age gap between them, the emperor was not her type!

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, the emperor said generously and gently: "It's okay! You can think about it slowly. I will wait for you!"

Qing He said softly: "I'm a little tired and want to go back."

The emperor nodded, "Okay, I will accompany you back to Wutong Pavilion."

As he said this, he tried to hold her hand. Qing He was so frightened that she dodged away immediately, and looked at the emperor with alert eyes...

The emperor smiled, but he was not angry. Instead, he looked at her affectionately and said, "Why, don't you like me?"

Qing He hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Your Majesty, I don't want to be a concubine, and I don't want to stay here! I want to go home."

The emperor was stunned after hearing this, then looked at her with a somewhat sad look and said, "Do you think I'm too old?"

Qing He did not answer, but continued: "I don't want to stay here, I just want to go home."

The emperor seemed to see hope again after hearing this. His originally gloomy expression immediately softened and he said affectionately, "That's easy! I can build a courtyard for you in the harem, and the landscape will be based on the style of your hometown! Even your three meals a day and your clothes will be based on your original style and habits! As long as you are willing to stay by my side, I can satisfy all your wishes and requests!"

As he spoke, he reached for Qing He's hand again. Qing He involuntarily took two steps back and said, "I haven't thought about it yet!"

The emperor was stunned when he saw this. After a long silence, he nodded and said, "Okay! I will give you time to think about it slowly. As long as you are willing, I will wait no matter how long it takes..."

Qing He frowned and said silently in her heart: "I don't know if I can escape before his patience runs out?"

……

The next day.

When the emperor attended the morning court, he told his ministers about his plan to build a new courtyard in the harem.

As a result, many people strongly opposed it. The Imperial Censor said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with you wanting to build a courtyard, but I heard that you have been very fond of a new woman in the palace recently. Not only did you depose Concubine Yun for her, but you also built a courtyard for her. Once this gets out, what will the people say? I heard that the woman is from a neighboring country whose identity is unknown?"

The emperor ignored him and looked at Lord Yan who was standing beside him: "Lord Yan, what do you think?"

Lord Yan instantly felt unprecedented pressure...all eyes in the hall were focused on him!

Facing the emperor's suggestive eyes and the expectant gazes of his ministers, he pondered for a long while, cleared his throat, and said, "Your Majesty, I think... this is not impossible... but we can't rush it, we need to think long-term... The most important thing right now is to solve the problem of the rebels first. There is still a small number of remnants of the previous dynasty roaming around the southwest, and they are still determined to restore the monarchy!"

The censor cursed inwardly, "Old fox! He refuses to offend either side!"

But we can’t do anything to him. Otherwise, if we make him angry, he might stand on the side of the emperor, and that would be troublesome!

Fence-sitters are better than the emperor's die-hard supporters! At least they won't flatter the emperor blindly.

So the censors immediately took the lead in praising, "Master Yan is indeed a pillar of the country and the hope of the court! He considers the overall situation and has foresight. We are far behind him. I admire you! I admire you!"

The Minister of Revenue was originally worried about how to get the emperor to give up the idea of ​​building a garden. After listening to Lord Yan's idea, he immediately thought that this method was very good! At least he could fool around first. Maybe the project would fail if he dragged it out! Who knows what will happen in the future!

So the Minister of Revenue also praised enthusiastically, saying that it was a blessing for the people that the country had a pillar like Lord Yan!

Upon seeing this, other ministers also followed suit and praised him. The originally tense atmosphere in the court suddenly relaxed, and everyone began to discuss who should be sent to wipe out the remnants.

Only the emperor's face was uncertain, he stared at Lord Yan and said, "Lord Yan, please come to the imperial study for a moment, I have something to tell you alone!"

Lord Yan bowed his head and said, "Yes!"

……

In the imperial study, Lord Yan was prepared to face the emperor's wrath and lowered his head to listen to the lecture.

The emperor stared at him fiercely and asked, "Siming, why did you go against me and try to smooth things over in the court just now?"

Lord Yan quickly explained, "Your Majesty, you must be very careful about this matter! You just deposed Concubine Yun, and now you want to build a new garden for Miss Yao. This is without any status, and the ministers will definitely criticize it! Let alone others, at least the Yun family will not let it go. Yun Lei controls the military power in the southwest. Your Majesty might as well send him to suppress the bandits first to observe the attitude of the Yun family..."

The emperor said with a sullen face, "We must suppress the bandits and build gardens! I have already promised Qing He that I will build her a garden that is exactly like the one in her hometown!"

After hearing this, Lord Yan's heart trembled, and he felt that this matter was quite tricky!

He suggested cautiously: "If Your Majesty wants to relieve Miss Yao's homesickness, I have an idea!"

The emperor was very interested when he heard it, "Tell me about it."

"My mother once lived in Shunzhao Country for a period of time when she was young. She is familiar with the local customs and practices there. Miss Yao is alone here. She must miss her hometown very much. Why not let Miss Yao stay at my house for a few days to change her mood..."

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "We can give it a try! I'll go back and ask her."

……

After Lord Yan returned to the mansion, he went to the upper room to pay his respects.

Madam Yan asked, "How is it, have you said it?"

Master Yan nodded, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "Mother, are you going to recognize Qinghe?"

Madam Yan said slowly, "I can't deny it anymore... I don't have much time left. I must take revenge as soon as possible while my mind is still clear!"

When she said the last sentence, Madam Yan's eyes suddenly became sharp and ruthless!
