The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

……

After that, Lin Wanwan really confined herself to her room for a month.

As soon as the one-month deadline was up, the Empress Dowager hurriedly invited Lin Wanwan to the palace.

In the palace, when the Empress Dowager heard that Lin Wanwan was going to Zijin Country, she was extremely anxious and sat on the gorgeous throne with a gloomy face:

"An Ning, I have heard about all these things. These people are really useless!"

Lin Wanwan sat quietly aside with a calm expression.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but ask, "An Ning, are you really going to the Purple Gold Kingdom?"

Lin Wanwan lowered her head slightly, looking at the ground firmly:

"If your majesty loses, the country loses, and you must admit defeat."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she thought that Lin Wanwan was really generous, but when she thought of Lin Gao, she became furious again.

She slammed the armrest and shouted, "Someone, call Lin Gao over! Come now!"

An eunuch immediately took action and hurried to summon Lin Gao.

After a while, Lin Gao was brought to the palace. He was terrified, and as soon as he entered the palace, he knelt down with his eyes closed, saying non-stop:

"Grandma! I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"

The Queen Mother's voice came from the side, piercing like ice. "Asshole."

Lin Gao then opened his eyes and saw a snow-white skirt. When he looked up again, it was Lin Wanwan.

He quickly changed direction and knelt, his face full of guilt and fear: "I was wrong!"

The Empress Dowager looked at Lin Gao, her eyes filled with anger and disappointment: "Do you know how much trouble you have caused?"

Lin Gao was trembling all over, not daring to look up: "Grandma, calm down. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been in the limelight and harmed the princess. I have been punished by His Majesty and must pay one million to the two treasuries."

The Empress Dowager sighed deeply, a trace of fatigue in her eyes:

"What should we do now? Do we really have to let An Ning go to Zijin Country?"

At this time, when they arrived at the door of the Queen Mother's palace, the eunuch announced loudly: "Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived!"

Inside the bedroom, the Empress Dowager heard the announcement and a smile appeared on her face.

Lin Xiaohe and Liu Ruimei walked into the bedroom and both knelt down to pay their respects.

Lin Xiaohe said respectfully: "Grandson greets you."

Liu Ruimei also bowed her head slightly and said softly, "I pay my respects to Grandmother."

The Grand Empress Dowager raised her hand slightly and said with a smile, "Get up. What a coincidence! An Ning just entered the palace today. How come you two are free to come and pay your respects to me today?"

Lin Xiaohe stood up, walked to the Queen Mother, and said:

"I miss my grandmother, so I came to pay my respects. The queen has also been thinking about you, so she came along."

Liu Ruimei smiled and said, "Grandma, I heard that you have been in poor health recently and I am very worried. I came to see you today and hope that you can recover soon."

The Queen Mother looked at them, her eyes filled with relief.

"You are so thoughtful. I am fine now, so you don't have to worry."

Lin Xiaohe was still angry when he saw Lin Gao: "If you were not my brother, I would chop off your head!"

Lin Gao was so frightened that he trembled and knelt down quickly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know I was wrong!"

The Empress Dowager said, "You don't know how to speak properly. You've been talking for a long time and all you can do is say that you admit your mistakes. I'll punish you with house arrest for another three months. Go back now. Do you hear me?"

"Thank you grandma... Grandma for your grace." Lin Gao retreated quickly.

Liu Rui had exquisite makeup, but the moment she saw Lin Wanwan, her heart was slightly shocked.

Lin Wanwan sat quietly aside, with light makeup on, like a quiet orchid.

There was a faint fragrance coming from her body, and when Liu Ruimei took a closer sniff, it turned out to be a light scent of sandalwood.

The fragrance seemed to carry a mysterious attraction, causing Liu Ruimei to look at Lin Wanwan a few more times.

Lin Xiaohe's eyes fell on Lin Wanwan, full of apology:

"An Ning, I shouldn't have chosen the third option and sent you out, but before that, Mu Han was really pushing me too far.

I didn't know that he would actually listen to you, so..."

Lin Wanwan looked distant and calm: "It's come to this point, there's no point in saying more."

However, there was a hint of tender apology in Lin Xiaohe's eyes, and that tenderness was like a spring breeze, blowing gently and touching people's hearts.

Liu Ruimei was shocked. She had never seen Lin Xiao look at anyone in the harem with such a look.

He looked at Princess An Ning like this, didn't he notice something was wrong?

Lin Wanwan noticed Liu Ruimei's gaze and looked at her.

Liu Ruimei felt uneasy, but she didn't dare to say anything. She just lowered her head slightly to hide her emotions.

Lin Wanwan stood up: "Grand Empress Dowager, I'm going back first."

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "An Ning, come to the palace often and keep me company."

Lin Wanwan nodded slightly, turned around and left.

Lin Xiaohe, who was originally sitting upright on a chair, frowned slightly, his eyes revealing deep worry. Then, he chased after her and walked beside her.

Liu Ruimei also hurriedly bowed and followed him out silently.

Lin Xiaohe in front looked at Lin Wanwan beside him and asked:

"An Ning, if a war breaks out, Wang Luda can no longer lead the troops. Who is the most suitable person to give this tiger talisman and the military power of the Wang family?"

Lin Wanwan stopped and stood aside, with an upright posture and a cold face.

She thought for a moment, then said firmly:

"Lu Mu."

Lin Xiaohe thought silently.

Lin Wanwan continued in a soft but confident voice:

"Lu Mu has made military achievements before, and he is Wang Luda's godson. He is absolutely qualified to be the general of Xuanyue Kingdom."

After listening to Lin Wanwan's words, Lin Xiaohe nodded slightly, with approval in his eyes.

"Well, you have a point. Lu Mu is indeed a suitable candidate."

He continued to ponder for a moment, then said, "I will issue an order to have Lu Mu return to the capital from Pingyang City to take charge of the military power."

Lin Wanwan's cold face moved slightly, her eyes turned to Lin Xiaohe, and she slowly said:

"Your Majesty's decision this time is indeed a wise one."

This simple sentence made Lin Xiaohe stunned for a moment. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes for a moment, and then the surprise gradually turned into excitement.

He couldn't help but show joy on his face: "This is the first time you have praised me."

At this time, Liu Ruimei stood behind them, listening to their conversation quietly, her heart filled with complicated emotions.

I just felt that the two of them were more like the emperor and the empress discussing state affairs.

Lin Xiaohe never discussed these things with her.

A hint of loss and jealousy flashed in her eyes, and an inexplicable bitterness surged in her heart.

Liu Ruimei bit her lips lightly, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face. She walked slowly to Lin Wanwan and said softly:

"Princess, I have always heard that you are extremely intelligent. After meeting you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved."

Lin Wanwan tilted her head slightly, her cold eyes fell on Liu Ruimei, and she said nothing.

Liu Ruimei didn't care about Lin Wanwan's indifference and continued, "I didn't expect the princess's appearance to be even more stunning."

Lin Wanwan only said: "The queen is virtuous, and the concubines in the harem are even more flourishing."

"Well, there is a Concubine Liu, who is very favored and deeply loved by His Majesty." Liu Ruimei said while quietly observing the reactions of Lin Xiaohe and Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan looked cold and just replied calmly, "That's good."

Liu Ruimei heard her calm tone, as if she was just responding to something very ordinary.

Her face was as calm as water, without any ripples. She felt an inexplicable sense of frustration in her heart.

She had expected to see a hint of jealousy or other emotions on Lin Wanwan's face, but Lin Wanwan's calmness made her feel as if she had punched cotton.

"Of course, he is not as good as the princess. Even the emperor of Zijin Kingdom came for the princess, and the princess's mansion is also full of handsome men.

The princess is so outstanding, I'm sure those men are all attracted to her."

Lin Wanwan frowned slightly, her eyes became even colder.

"Your Majesty, please pay more attention to your own affairs. You don't need to worry about my emotional affairs."

The smile on Liu Ruimei's face froze, and she felt embarrassed, but she was still unwilling to give in and wanted to say something.

Lin Xiaohe frowned slightly at this time, with a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes: "Queen, you step down first."

He knew Lin Wanwan's temper, and he didn't want to have a conflict with her because of Liu Ruimei at this time.

Liu Ruimei looked at Lin Xiaohe's expression and felt even more disappointed: "Yes, I'll take my leave."

Liu Ruimei had a gloomy face and walked slowly towards the Queen's bedroom. She passed by the back garden.

Chen Yueshi and Shen Yao were chatting and laughing nearby. When they saw Liu Ruimei, they hurriedly greeted her respectfully: "Greetings, Queen."

Liu Ruimei looked displeased and waved her hand slightly, signaling them to stand up.

Shen Yao looked at Liu Ruimei and asked with concern: "Empress, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Ruimei frowned slightly, with a hint of sourness in her tone: "I have seen Princess An Ning, she is such a beauty."

Shen Yao curled her lips and said, "What's the use of being beautiful? She has no power in the court except for the Grand Tutor Ouyang Qingyu. And Ouyang Qingyu has such a bad temper, how can he be good to her?"

Chen Yueshi also added: "Yes, I heard from my father that Ouyang Qingyu has always been very difficult to win over. He is a loner in the court and doesn't treat people well."

Shen Yao continued, "Yes, I heard that it was because of the former Fifth Princess Lin Meihua who gave them that drug that made them two together. What a pity. Maybe Ouyang Qingyu was helpless."

Liu Ruimei didn't say a word the whole time, just quietly listening to their discussion. She had a lot of thoughts in her mind. There were so many concubines in the harem, and she had never been jealous of even the favored Liu Shushu.

But why today, she felt jealous of Princess An Ning and felt deeply helpless?

Shen Yao glanced at Liu Ruimei's gloomy expression and continued:

“Besides, we are all from aristocratic families, our ancestors have made great contributions, and now we are entering the harem, and there are court officials in the previous dynasty.”

At this time, Liu Ruimei suddenly said:

"But Princess An Ning's ancestors were all emperors."

Hearing Liu Ruimei's voice with a hint of emotion and helplessness, Chen Yueshi was puzzled and said:

"Sister Queen, why are we talking about Princess An Ning today? There's no need to compete with her."

Liu Ruimei smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah, there's nothing to compare to her."
