It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

Outside sedan chairs are not allowed to enter the Regent's Palace.

The sedan chair of the He Mansion was parked outside the back door, and Su Wanti had to go in by herself.

In addition to the two gatekeepers, there was also a little maid holding a lantern standing at the back door. The little maid was there to welcome the beauty into the house.

Su Wanti walked down slowly, she was wearing a veil that covered the lower half of her face.

Under the bright moonlight, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, sparkling and moving, and the dress with a perfect drape showed off her graceful figure.

The gatekeeper and the maid were both stunned.

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of her with her star-like eyes and the two red ties on her fair neck, the little maid's face suddenly turned red.

The beauty tonight seems different from usual. The Regent is so lucky.

The little maid thought to herself, lowered her head, and said, "Miss, please follow me."

Su Wanti nodded, "Thank you."

She has a gentle temperament and her voice is as soft as her temperament.

Even after being reborn, his state of mind changed, but his voice didn't change at all.

The two gatekeepers looked at each other. The beauty's voice was so soft and gentle that just hearing it was enough to make people feel half numb.

The Regent is so lucky to be able to sleep with such a beauty!

The two men stared at the beauty's back infatuatedly, until the graceful figure disappeared into the night, they reluctantly withdrew their gaze.

Su Wanti was taken by a maid to a small two-story building.

The lights in the small building were not very bright. In the dim light, Su Wanti climbed the narrow and steep stairs and walked into a simply decorated room.

There was only a bed and a set of tables and chairs in the room.

"Girl, please wait here."

The maid poured a cup of tea, handed it to Su Wanti, then turned and left.

Leaving Su Wanti alone in this dim, small, old room.

Even though she was mentally prepared to risk it all, Su Wanti was still very nervous.

She first looked at the bed. The mattress was new and there was no sign of anyone having slept on it.

She looked around the room again. Apart from a few simple wooden pieces of furniture and a set of tea sets, there was nothing else.

Could it be that the most powerful minister in the Great Qi State, the regent with tremendous power, is a person who lives an extremely frugal life?

With such doubts in mind, Su Wanti sat quietly on the only chair in the room, waiting for the Regent to arrive.

----

On the other side of the Regent's Palace, in the study.

Dugu Cang was reading memorials in the study.

The study is where he spends most of his time and is decorated most exquisitely.

The room is furnished with a full set of golden nanmu furniture, and the walls are hung with calligraphy and paintings by famous artists.

There is a pond by the window, with a few koi fish in it, which is full of vitality.

There is an incense burner in the corner, burning agarwood which can calm people's mind.

Dugu Cang was concentrating on the memorial, but he was always alert and everything happening around him could not escape his ears.

"What's the matter? Tell me." He said calmly without moving his eyes.

The guard standing at the door of the study, who was about to knock on the door, was startled when he heard the words.

He opened the door of the study and said, "My Lord, the girl we picked up tonight is not the right one..."

"No?" The Regent frowned, "Aren't they just girls from those two families? How could they be picked up by mistake?"

It is said that he is lustful and loves women with pretty faces, but this is not true.

This was just a little "hobby" he deliberately arranged for himself.

This was to ward off those nobles who wanted to marry their daughters to him.

The noble families of the Great Qi State had to maintain their reputation. The girls in their families could marry scholars with mediocre qualifications but good character, but they could not marry prominent people with outstanding talents but bad reputation.

Miss Qin from Yihong Tower and Miss Nine from Chuxiang Courtyard came to the Regent's Palace every few days, which was also arranged by his subordinates.

The two girls were just here for show.

If you sit in the small building near the back door of the palace for one night, you can earn a fortune.

They could also gain fame and improve their status by serving the Regent, so the two girls naturally regarded it as a good job and were very satisfied with it.

"It doesn't matter if she answered the wrong call. She's just being asked to stay for a night, just like before. Send some food over and let her stay overnight." Dugu Cang's brows relaxed and he switched to another memorial to continue reading.

"Well... the one coming this time is not Miss Qin, nor Miss Nine, but General He's wife, Su." Tingfeng said cautiously.

Dugu Cang's brows, which had just relaxed, frowned again, "General He's wife?"

His heart skipped a beat, and his brows furrowed even tighter. "But is He Anping's wife?"

"Exactly."

The memorial in Dugu Cang's hand fell to the ground with a thud, but he ignored it.

"But Su Wanti?" At this moment, he could hear his own heartbeat.

"Exactly."

After getting Tingfeng's affirmative answer, Dugu Cang stood up abruptly.

"Why is she here?"

----

Su Wanti was waiting in this simple, quiet room.

She waited too long and became extremely bored, occasionally standing up to look out the window.

She discovered that the small building was built in a corner of the Regent's Palace, less than a hundred meters away from the back door.

There were lush trees all around, no other buildings, and not a single person in sight. No one was even bothered to turn on the lights. It was pitch black downstairs, and only a few small lanterns were lit inside the building, making it dim.

I don’t know if the Regent is really frugal or has some special hobby.

Su Wanti speculated secretly.

She sat down and couldn't help dozing off.

The long wait had worn out her fighting spirit. Now she was sleepy and her mind was a mess.

With his chin supported by his hands, his upper and lower eyelids are about to stick together.

Just when Su Wanti was drowsy, footsteps were heard downstairs.

The footsteps were steady and heavy, and from the sound one could tell that the person coming was a tall man.

Su Wanti suddenly woke up.

My heart was in my throat, almost jumping out.

The Regent is here!

Su Wanti hurriedly stood up and straightened her hair and dress.

Unable to find a bronze mirror, he used the cold tea in the cup to look at himself.

She has rosy cheeks, charming eyes, red lips and white teeth. She is a beauty.

Su Wanti stood up and hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether she should stand or sit.

Or, should I just stay in bed?

Just as Su Wanti was hesitating, the footsteps approached and then stopped.

A tall, gloomy man stood in front of the wide-open door of the room, looking at her.

The purple-gold crown on his head demonstrates his extremely noble status.

"Your servant Su greets His Majesty." Su Wanti bit her lip and spoke softly.
