The challenge on the competition stage continued. The people looked up excitedly. Under a weeping willow tree in the northeast corner of the platform, Lu Yun lowered his head and his eyes fell on the blue and gray robe of Emperor Minghui beside him several times, on the big hand that he had let go of her and then put on Chong Ge'er's shoulder.
If it is stated that Emperor Hui called her "Ajun" probably because he simply treated her as a junior, but he asked the lantern shop staff to remember her name as "Young Master Rong", and used the poem "Yun Want Clothes and Flowers Want Rong" to praise the appearance of a beautiful person. Lu Yun could not believe it and could not continue to pretend to be confused.
Emperor Hui of Ming was indeed moved by her.
Lu Yun turned his head and looked at the river not far away.
If a man is to treat her so domineeringly and rudely, Lu Yun will definitely struggle and would rather die than obey. But he is the emperor of the Nine Five, the most noble and powerful man in the world. He only needs to show his intentions towards her, and his eldest niece and niece-in-law dare not come to "disturb" his elegant pleasure. Lu Yun does not blame his niece for not being brave, because she is also timid. She dares not disobey if he doesn't let her go upstairs. He forces her to wait here to participate in the Winning Lamp Competition with him, and she also cannot have a firm sense of rejection.
Is there only awe?
Not that. Because he was taken care of by him when he was a child, because he had experienced his gentleness, because he was the niece's imperial uncle, everyone was somewhat involved in relatives, and believed in his bones that he would not bully people too much. Emperor Ming Hui did not hate and disgust Lu Yun when he was like this. She just couldn't figure out why he did this, and she couldn't guess what would happen after tonight.
He fell in love with her, but he was moved for a moment, teasing her for some fun, and he would forget her when he returned to the palace, or had other plans? Another plan was to ask her for her. It is impossible for her to pick her up in the palace. She had married once, and she was no longer innocent and had the name of a jealous woman. How could a dignified king of a country give her a title of a woman like this? If she doesn't give her a title, she wants someone...
His vision was blurred, and Lu Yun quietly wiped away his tears.
She was afraid that she didn't want to remarry and did not want to become a woman raised by Emperor Minghui outside the palace. However, Emperor Minghui's actions tonight were seen by his eldest nieces and son-in-law, and Liao Shou also saw them. In their hearts, she and Emperor Minghui were no longer clear. But he was the emperor, and she dared not refuse.
"Brother Chong, my fan has fallen into the private room. Do you go and take it for me?"
The sound of a man coaxing the child came from his ears. Lu Jun was shocked. Chongge'er had already agreed happily and ran to the lamp building quickly, thinking that he would finish his errands early and come to see the competition early. After a few steps, he was stopped by Liao Shou. When he learned that Chongge'er was going to help the emperor get a "fan", Liao Shou tactfully accompanied Chongge'er toward the lamp building, not only protecting Chongge'er, but also fulfilling the emperor.
He could guess what Emperor Minghui thought, and Lu Yun could guess, and his head twisted to the side even harder.
"Why do you cry?" Emperor Minghui put his hands behind him, looking at the competition stage with his black eyes, and even a smile on his lips, as if he was very interested in the competition on the stage.
Lu Yun lowered his eyes and said nothing. In front of his niece and nephew-in-law, he kept her by his side domineeringly, and she couldn't explain it clearly. Does he really not understand why she cried? Or is he used to being obedient and thought that he wanted a woman, and that woman had to agree to him happily?
Emperor Minghui did a domineering thing, so he could naturally guess what she was thinking. He rubbed his thumb behind him and stroked his index finger. Emperor Minghui glanced around him and whispered: "I won't go out easily. You live in the back house. It's harder for you and I to meet the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. All these things tonight are just to let you understand my heart for you."
He is not those noble young men of aristocratic families. He can find ways to get close to any girl when he likes him, but he is determined to get close. He is busy with the government and has no energy to leave the palace often. Secondly, he has gone out of the palace during the sun, and there are too many people staring at him. At night... How many Lantern Festivals can there be in a year? How many times can he meet her every time?
As early as Anguo Temple, he had a pity for Lu Yun, but she was a wife of the Yao family at that time, so he suppressed her pity for her. Soon she broke up with Yao Jiting, and a glimmer of hope appeared in Emperor Minghui's heart, but the timing was inappropriate. He took action too quickly, which easily made people suspect that he and Lu Yun had already had an affair.
He has been waiting for the storm to calm down and gave her time to forget Yao Jiting. Now that a year has passed, Emperor Minghui feels it is almost done. He goes out tonight and comes to Linglongfang first just to try his luck. If he meets the best, he will take the initiative to create opportunities.
Facts have proved that he is indeed destined to be with this girl. Then God gave her fate, so Emperor Minghui naturally had to make good use of it. He only had one or two hours. During this period, he had to let her understand and coax her as much as possible. Only after coaxing her well could he have no worries and could concentrate on dealing with Lu Zhan.
So he must be strong.
The man's voice was low and gentle, and his words were straightforward, but Lu Yun felt sad. The more he said, the more he understood, the more he would prove that he would not let go easily. Lu Yun really didn't want to be involved with the man anymore, and he didn't want to be pressed under another man and be slandered and playful.
"I don't want to..."
Lu Yun tried his best to endure it, but in just three words, he still revealed his crying voice. If it were another emperor, whom she didn't know, Lu Yun might not dare to say it, and might have accepted it, but he was Emperor Minghui, an elder who had helped her wipe her tears. Lu Yun wanted to give it a try, maybe he would be willing to let her go.
"I don't want to, or don't like me?" Emperor Minghui clenched his hands tightly and finally looked at her.
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment.
Like him? She had never thought about this problem at all. After discovering his thoughts, she was always in panic, just thinking about avoiding being played with by the emperor.
Emperor Minghui became excited because of her stunned moment. He was the emperor, and all the concubines in the harem racked their brains to please him. Emperor Minghui knew that those pleasing and awe of him were inseparable from his appearance. The women's eyes were full of fascination when they looked at him. It was Lu Yun's turn, and he would hurriedly avoid him every time he looked at her. Emperor Minghui could not determine why she was panicked. He only knew that if Lu Yun had no feelings for him as a woman or a man, she would not be stunned now.
At least, she did not reject the idea of liking him. Only then would she continue to think about whether she liked him.
"Ajun, you and I haven't seen each other for many years, you may not be able to accept me immediately, but don't worry, when you enter the palace, I will definitely make you fall in love with me." Turning to the opposite side of Lujun, Emperor Minghui lowered his head and looked at her white and bright little face and said. After saying that, he was afraid that she would not believe it. Emperor Minghui's voice lowered and his tone was more serious, "Ajun, I am the emperor, and I have a word."
Entering the palace?
Lu Yun raised his head in surprise, his eyes with tears remaining clear and pure, and his thoughts were clear at a glance.
When Emperor Minghui saw him, he frowned slightly. He showed his imperial majesty for the first time tonight. "Do you think I didn't want to give you a title?" Otherwise, how could she be extremely shocked by hearing "entering the palace"?
As soon as the thought came, Emperor Minghui immediately understood why she cried. Emperor Minghui thought of the woman whom he had been attracted to for the first time, and was imagined by the woman he had been bullied by the power and played with women. The true love was misinterpreted. Emperor Minghui's face became more and more gloomy. Just as he was about to scold him, the girl in front of him lowered her head again, pursed her red lips, and clenched her sleeves uneasily.
Emperor Hui of Ming immediately lost his temper, and he was not stupid, so he really scared him, so how could he coax her to agree?
It was a big fault for not explaining it clearly. Emperor Minghui coughed and said in a voice that only she could hear: "Ajun, I will appoint you as Concubine Rong and bring you into the palace with a glorious look. I know you are simple and weak, and I will protect you. I will not let you suffer the grievances you have suffered in the Yao family again. I will find a way to persuade him on your father's side. I just hope that Ajun will give me a chance. When Lingzun asks, don't refuse to agree, otherwise I have the ability to go all out of Lingzun and will not be sure to steal people from Lingzun."
The tone in front is solemn and gentle, but the tone behind becomes lighter and frivolous again.
Lu Yun's eyelashes trembled, and his heart was like the wind blowing in his heart. He was afraid that he would bully others with his power and that he would become the kind of outdoor woman who is shameless to the world. But now, Emperor Minghui actually wanted to take her into the palace and even thought about the title. Lu Yun couldn't help but feel at a loss.
"If you still don't want to, you must give me a reason to accept it." Emperor Minghui knew that she had no feelings for her, and at most she had a good impression of her. Because of the good feelings he had in his appearance, he decided to change his way and smash the reason for her rejection one by one.
This is also the most useful strategy for dealing with indecisive people. Emperor Hui of Ming would not value indecisive ministers, but he liked Lu Yun's softness. Only when she was weak and soft-hearted could he have an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Lu Yun still doesn't want to enter the palace.
She was ridiculed as a village girl when she was a child. Although her father took revenge on her, she repeatedly emphasized that her identity is not lower than anyone else, but she just couldn't forget the sarcastic look of the bad girls and could not get along with the noble ladies and powerful ladies of famous families. She always felt that those people praised her in person. When she turned around, they would laugh quietly.
The powerful and powerful families don’t want to be guests, let alone the palace of the most expensive people in the world.
But she couldn't dislike the palace. Lu Yun lowered her head and tried to belittle herself: "I, I'm not worthy..."
"The mother of Emperor Wu of Han, Wang, abandoned her husband and daughter, and served Emperor Jing again. Concubine Yang of Tang once served Xuanzong and his son. You are the jewel in the hands of the minister of the Ministry of War. Because of his husband's family's harsh treatment, he resolutely broke up. He was innocent and innocent. How could he be worse than the two of them?" With the concealment of his figure, Emperor Minghui held her left hand, "Ajun, I only asked if you would like to give me the opportunity to take care of you. I will solve other trivial matters, so you don't have to worry."
Lu Yun broke away from his hand. Because the man was too close, she couldn't help but take two steps back. He cracked a reason, Lu Yun tried to find a second one, "Even if there were previous examples, she had a little flaw in reputation..."
"I am alive, no one dares to criticize me. When I go, I will not hear others criticizing me." Emperor Minghui interrupted her again, his eyes were like fire, and he could not allow her to retreat. He naturally cared about reputation, but if he didn't even dare to marry a woman he liked, he would regret it for life, what's the fun of being the emperor? Looking at the history books, which wise king has no romantic affairs? Even if there is no, unofficial history will make up two, and he has never seen wise kings without any "stains".
She retreated and he caught up. Lu Yun only felt that he had become a wolf. She didn't obediently promise to give him food. He didn't slap and bite him, but he didn't give up and chased him relentlessly. Lu Yun tried hard to plunder his shortcomings, but he didn't care that she had married or that she didn't care about the guidance of the world. Then, she was only one left...
"I want to say that your child is in difficulty?" Seeing her lips twitching, Emperor Minghui suddenly smiled and said it for her.
The biggest pain in this life was mentioned. Lu Yun was not panicked, he was no longer confused, and he was only sad.
"Ajun, I want to make a bet with you." Emperor Minghui held her hand tightly and said quietly.
Lu Yun's eyes moved, and his eyes moved from the river to his chest.
Attracting her curiosity, Emperor Minghui took a step forward and bowed his head to her ear and said, "Just bet that I can make you pregnant with a child. You promise to be my concubine Rong first. I will win in the future. You can give birth to children for me with peace of mind. If I lose, then..."
The warm breath fell on his ears and said something inspiring. As soon as he spoke, Lu Yun wanted to retreat, but he had no choice but to hold his hands tightly. When he finished speaking, Lu Yun couldn't control himself and wanted to know what he deliberately kept behind him.
Just as she was waiting secretly, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from the competition platform, and the competition just now ended.
Emperor Minghui suddenly let go of her, turned around, and saw Liao guarding Chong Ge'er coming over, looking at the girl who was shy or wronged with her head down, Emperor Minghui said helplessly: "Forget it, let's change the gambling method, let's bet on the competition on stage for a while. If you and me are in the same group, you will win the competition, and you will pretend that you have never seen it tonight, but if I win, you must follow my arrangements."
Lu Yun glanced at the people around the martial arts competition platform and begged him in a low voice, "You guys go, I..."
"Two gambling methods, I ordered you to choose one." Emperor Minghui changed his previous gentle tone and said coldly.
He put on the airs of the emperor, and Lu Yun had nothing to say in an instant, biting his lip and following him to the martial arts competition stage with his fate. Including the three of them, there were ten people in total. They were going to draw lots on the stage. When they walked on the stage, Lu Yun suddenly had hope again. If she draws a group with others, wouldn't she have to compete with Emperor Minghui?
