Chapter 8

  Ling Feng naturally understood that in this era, such words were shocking and unconventional. However, at this moment, she truly felt relieved, thinking that if she really entered the emperor's harem, with so many women competing for one man, just thinking about it made her feel terrified.

  Only Liu Yuanyu's face flashed a hint of unexpected relief, this little girl could think so, she was relieved.

  Murong Lingyun's face was filled with astonishment, but his eyes also flashed a hint of relief. The heart that had been hanging in suspense since last night finally fell.

  As long as she is safe and sound, he won't mind anything else. From now on, he will cherish her even more.

  "Hmph, you're just afraid of not being able to get the grape, so you say it's sour." Lin Ruyan hummed coldly, her lip corners slightly twitching, revealing a clear mockery. "With your current state, do you think any man would still marry you?"

  Her words paused slightly, and a hint of venom flashed quickly in the depths of her eyes. "Why don't we wait for a few days until Snow's matter is settled? I'll help you arrange a marriage, take a look at that family's son-in-law who wants to take a concubine..."

  As they spoke, her eyes seemed to have a meaning as she gazed at Murong Lingyun. When she saw Murong Lingyun's gloomy face like dark clouds, the corners of her mouth curled up with obvious satisfaction. However, she didn't see Murong Lie standing outside the door, his face also darkening for an instant.

  "Mind your own business, it's not for you to interfere with her affairs." Murong Lie slowly walked in, his cold eyes scanning Lin Ruyan before slowly turning towards Ling Feng, a hint of meaningful laughter flashing quickly in the depths of his eyes.

  Liu Yu'er, who was standing on his side, suddenly looked startled and said hastily, "Yes, her body is still very weak now. If there's anything, it should wait until she recovers before saying anything."

  Her words were ostensibly directed at Lin Ruyan, but in reality, she was deliberately reminding Murong Lie, at least to buy enough time for him to rush over and rescue the little girl.

  "Hmm." Murong Lie responded in a gentle tone, then turned to Liu Wanyi and specifically instructed, "Go find another maid to serve her personally. I'll leave this matter to you to handle."

  "Don't worry, sir. I will." A faint smile floated onto the beautiful and gentle face of Liu Yuanyu, desperately trying to conceal her inner panic.

  "Old master, why waste any more time on this girl..." Lin Ruyan protested inexplicably.

  "What's wrong?" The cold eyes scanned her again, "Are you really going to rebel against me? When did the Mu Rong estate become yours to rule?" The words paused slightly, and the double eyelids narrowed dangerously as he warned, "Let me tell you, don't think that just because Xue Er has entered the palace, you can be reckless. You should behave yourself properly for me. One day, Xue Er will have to take over under Wan Er's name. You should be very clear about your position."

  This woman will only ruin Xue Er and ruin his plans.

  "Old master,......" Lin Ruyan was completely shocked, her eyes also suddenly widened, and the depths of her eyes were filled with incredulous anger.

  Liu Yuanyu was also shocked, "Master, why must you speak so seriously, Xue'er is now well-behaved and sensible, isn't this all Ruyan's credit?"

  "Hmph, what can she teach Xue'er?..." Just as he was about to continue, he caught sight of Liu Wan'er's gentle smile and her slight embarrassment, and involuntarily changed his tone, "Mm, let's talk about this later."

  A simple sentence, yet it sowed varying degrees of worry in the hearts of several people, making future events all the more...

  Three days passed quickly, especially in such busy and festive days.

  The entire Murong estate was bustling with activity, except for Ling Feng. Even Murong Lingyun only managed to spare some time in the mornings or evenings to visit her.

  The day of Murong Lingxue's entry into the palace had finally arrived. As she was directly appointed as a noble consort by the Emperor himself, the scene was naturally very grand.

  Murong Lie's power in the imperial court was not to be underestimated, and now his daughter is entering the palace with such grandeur, representing something that goes without saying.

  So almost all the officials in the court came to celebrate and send gifts, only two special people were disdainful of being with him, and those two also had enough courage.

  Although she was a direct noble consort, after all, she was not the empress, so it was just entering the palace without what is called a wedding ceremony. The outside scene was grand, but inside the palace, it was cold and quiet, only with fewer checks and training than those ordinary women who entered the palace.

  Murong Lingxue covered her face with a joyful veil. She let the palace maid lead her into a room, and then she could only sit quietly there, waiting for the emperor to come.

  Of course, tonight's she also has a special place, that is, directly sent into the emperor's bedroom ----- Zhengqian Palace.

  This is also what His Majesty specifically instructed.

  She sat there with a hint of excitement, a hint of tension, somewhat uneasy yet somewhat complacent, watching as the sky slowly darkened, and her heart grew increasingly filled with anticipation.

  But at this moment, the emperor was still drinking in the backyard.

  "Alright, a moment is worth a thousand pieces of gold. I, your subject, dare not delay the Emperor's wedding night, so I'll take my leave first."

  Xuanyuan slowly stood up, his deep eyes seemed to still have a few flashes of light in the dim night color, but that flash was accompanied by a few calculations, a few strange, and naturally there were a few clever looks.

  "Haha, it seems that your mansion's ladies are not fewer than those in my imperial harem," the emperor said with a faint smile, his voice laced with intentional ambiguity, but his eyes quickly hid a hint of depth.

  "Hahaha...", he suddenly burst out laughing loudly, causing a stir in the quiet night, seemingly with an inexplicable horror, and his wild laughter seemed to be just a deliberate exaggeration, not truly reaching his expression.

  The laughter suddenly stopped, and on his face floated that kind of playful and irreverent smile. "What? Is the Emperor tired of the women in the harem being too few? In a few days, my younger brother will help you pick out a few more."

  "Never mind, you'd better keep it for yourself." The emperor's face flashed a hint of abnormality, "Or perhaps I should find a queen for you."

  "Stop, Your Majesty should take care of your own affairs first. My brother's matters will be handled by himself."

  Xuanyuan had been guessing why the Emperor would suddenly let Murong Lingshu enter the palace. The Emperor should be very clear about Murong Lie's ambition, and he, if not for that night's incident, would absolutely not have followed the old fox's intentions.

  His words paused slightly, and a hint of a smile flashed quickly in his eyes, "Your Majesty should go to the bridal chamber first, Your Majesty seems to be getting impatient."

  I'm not sure if I saw it wrong, but I always feel that the emperor seems to be in a hurry.

  Why did the Emperor suddenly treat Murong Lingxue with such special favor?

  But in his heart, he secretly sneered. The emperor was now increasingly anxious, and soon he would become even more enraged. This game would then become even more thrilling.

  The emperor did not deliberately refute him, but let him leave, and then hurriedly walked towards the Zhengqian Palace.

  What he said is very right, at this moment, the emperor is indeed a bit hasty. This book was first published by Xiaoxiang Book Club, please do not reprint!
