The lady is reborn? The crazy villain kisses her forcefully and won't let go!

Jun Qizheng snorted and glanced at him with a fake smile, "My mother always told me to focus on government affairs, so why would you take the initiative to send me a portrait of a young lady from an official family? Are you trying to deceive me?"

Cao Mang smiled and said, "How dare I deceive Your Highness? These ladies were personally selected by the Queen."

As he spoke, he made a gesture, and the young eunuch holding the portrait behind him immediately stepped forward and quickly and orderly arranged them in a row in front of the prince.

Jun Qi was half-believing and half-doubting, but his eyes involuntarily swept towards the portraits.

There were many beautiful women in the portraits, but there were many of them in his East Palace and they were not rare.

"A bunch of vulgar fans."

Jun Qizhen just felt bored.

Cao Mang took in his irritable look and said inconspicuously, "The Queen Mother has instructed that Your Highness can choose one of them at will and appoint her as Liang Di to serve Your Highness closely and handle government affairs diligently."

Jun Qi impatiently pulled over a scroll, looked at the woman in the painting with sarcasm, and said, "With this appearance, if she really entered the East Palace, I'm afraid I would be even more helpless. My mother really took great pains to help her."

He tore the scroll into pieces and threw it fiercely at Cao Mang's face, and ordered: "Immediately withdraw the guards in front of my palace, otherwise don't blame me for chopping off their heads..."

Jun Qi suddenly stopped speaking indignantly, as if he was attracted by something, and couldn't help but walk up to a young eunuch.

Cao Mang didn't raise his eyes, but stared at the shattered drawing paper on the ground with a cold look.

"This is... the noble lady who played the zither that day!"

Jun Qi was so fascinated by the portrait that he couldn't help but reach out and touch the delicate face of the woman in the portrait. The graceful scene of her playing the piano on a high platform suddenly appeared in his mind.

Every move she made was like that of a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world. Her slender waist, which could be held in one hand, must be soft and slender, based on his experience in measuring women, and it felt very pleasant to pinch it.

Jun Qi Zhengguang felt his lower abdomen tighten as he thought about it, and an obscene smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Japan wanted to wait until after the birthday banquet, and then ask his mother to find a reason to keep the person so that they could meet alone.

Unexpectedly, an assassin appeared and I forgot about the matter for a moment.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard Cao Mang scolding the eunuch with a slightly anxious look, "Why did you send this painting over? Don't you know that this painting was specially left by the queen?"

The young eunuch panicked, raised his eyes and timidly looked at the portrait in the prince's hand, then knelt down hastily and begged for mercy, "Please spare me, Master. I took the wrong one."

"what happened?"

Jun Qi was frowning, obviously sensing something was wrong. "Is there something wrong with this painting? Why did mother leave it alone?"

Cao Mang sighed, but said slowly: "Your Highness, you don't know that this is the apple of the eye of General Mu Sinian. The general holds great power and is a minister of great merit. How could he be willing to let his only daughter enter the East Palace as a concubine?"

Jun Qizheng chuckled, "What's so difficult about this? I have never had a candidate for the position of Crown Princess. In terms of appearance and family background, my mother should not disagree."

As he said this, he couldn't bear to take his eyes away from the portrait.

Cao Mang raised his eyes, a flash of contempt passed through his eyes, and he said slowly: "The Queen will naturally not object, but I'm afraid even the Queen can't make the decision on this matter."

Jun Qizheng's smile froze, and he looked at the old man impatiently, saying, "What's going on?"

Cao Mang slowly explained: "Your Highness, you don't know that before Your Highness was canonized as the Crown Prince, the Emperor had already chosen the general's daughter as the Crown Princess."

"Oh, there is this too," Jun Qi curled his lips. In this way, wouldn't the beauty be at your fingertips?

"But..." Cao Mang looked embarrassed.

Jun Qizheng's heart tightened, "Just what? Tell me quickly!"

Cao Mang looked up at his anxious face and continued, "But at that time, the general declined the emperor's grace on the grounds that his daughter was still young."

Jun Qizheng waved his hand and threw the painting in his hand into the tray of the eunuch beside him, and said angrily: "That old thing is so ungrateful!"

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words!" Cao Mang lowered his eyes and reminded him, then he waved away all the servants and eunuchs in the hall.

Jun Qi Zheng didn't think it was a big deal. He was the future king and it was nothing wrong for him to scold a subject.

If Mu Sinian had agreed right away at the beginning, the beauty would have been in his pocket long ago, so why would he be worrying now?

He is not a man who would easily give up a beauty, especially such a rare beauty. How could he be willing to give up unless he had her in his mouth?

"I will go to see the emperor in a few days and ask him to issue a new decree to grant the marriage."

"Absolutely not."

Cao Mang once again rejected his proposal leisurely, saying: "The situation in the palace is turbulent now, Your Highness must have known this.

The general holds great power and protects his daughter as if she were his own eyes. To obtain that girl is equivalent to completely controlling the general's power.

No matter who it falls on, it will be a powerful pillar that cannot be ignored."

Jun Qizheng calmed down and found that what the eunuch said made a lot of sense.

Then he said, "With your current strength, if you easily ask to marry the general's daughter, it will inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion and fear, which is definitely not a good thing for your Highness."

Jun Qi Zheng naturally would not give up his vast territory for a mere woman, but he would be unwilling to give up such a peerless beauty easily.

Cao Mang knew that given the prince's personality, he was determined to get the person.

Sure enough, the next moment, Jun Qi was tugging at his shirt in annoyance, his eyes becoming increasingly angry, and he said, "Then tell me, what should I do?"

There was no trace of panic on Cao Mang's pale face. He said slowly: "Your Highness is not a bird in a cage, nor a fish in a pond."

He pointed to the palace door in the distance and said, "This door will never trap Your Highness. What the Emperor needs is a crown prince who is capable of taking over the throne, and women are born to be dependent on men. If Your Highness is employed by the Emperor as soon as possible, you will be able to marry the beauty."

It took Jun Qi a while to react and he loosened Cao Mang's clothes little by little, but his expression did not seem relaxed, but rather a little dejected.

"My father's heart is not with me at all"

He walked slowly back to the desk and sat down. "No matter how much I do, he just treats me coldly. How easy is it to gain the favor of my father?"

Cao Mang followed and said, "The Emperor still has high hopes for Your Highness, otherwise Your Highness would have long been out of the East Palace."

When Jun Qi heard this, his thoughts surged and scenes of how his father treated him in the past appeared in his mind.

It seems that the emperor father has the intention to depose the crown prince, but there is no actual action. Is it true, as he said, that the emperor father still has expectations for him?
