Wan Ning's answer, the emperor was not surprised. He stretched out his hand and motioned for Wan Ning to come closer.

The two are already very close, how can they get closer? But she didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order, so she had to walk slowly two steps closer. At this point, there was only a foot or two between the two.

"Wanning, is it up to you to have the final say, or do I have the final say?" The emperor kept looking at her, as if he was waiting for her answer, but as if he didn't.

Wan Ning also knew that this was a desperate proposition, so she simply didn't speak, and stood aside as a cowardice.

"I asked you today, and you have a false remark, which is to deceive the king." The emperor spoke calmly, but every word made people feel majestic.

The innocent Wanning obviously showed a frightened look on her face, she said that she didn't have a beloved in her heart, this was really a bully. She stood there, overwhelmed.

The emperor felt a little proud in his heart, and naturally looked up at the front, and naturally saw her paintings all over the room.

"Of all the men you've ever seen, there's not one that makes you tick? Still need to paint for spiritual comfort? Your Li family and the Gao family are going to get married. As far as I know, the young master of the Gao family is an only son, and he has already married a wife. With your background, would you be willing to be a concubine for him? As a woman marrying someone she doesn't love and promoting the marriage of the two families, shouldn't it be to fulfill a promise made by your father during his lifetime? Or, the person who makes you tempted is the young master of the Gao family? It's no wonder that the young master of the Gao family, who has both civil and military skills, and a dignified appearance, is normal for women to fall in love. ”

"The slave maid has an older sister who has married into the Gao family. My father's promise has been fulfilled. If the young master of the Gao family is appreciated by the emperor again, the slaves and maids will not compete to be his concubine. ”

The emperor glared at Wan Ning with disdain: "Do you think I don't know the identity of the young lady of the Gao family?" and pretending to be wise. ”

He used the word "again", that is, he was clever before. Could it be that the emperor already knows his relationship with Ziang's brother?

In other words, the Li family and the Gao family still have to marry. What do you think of the young master of the Gao family? How do I compare to him? The Emperor asked again.

"Your Majesty, you think that the young master of the Gao family is young and promising, then he is. The people you value are right. You are the emperor, he is a courtier, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, how can it be compared? ”

"He's really good. But you are just a concubine when you go to the Gao family, but it is different to be a harem concubine, you are of high grade, you are a real master, and no one dares to slack off. There are some things, such as the dignity you want, other men can't give it, but I can. ”

As soon as the words fell, the emperor kept staring at Wan Ning, and she was embarrassed.

The emperor thought that Zhou Cairen had finished bathing, and after that, he left the side hall without saying anything.

Gonggong Cui, who was waiting outside the door, saw the emperor come out and asked, "Your Majesty, how is it?" ”

The emperor did not answer him.

From the emperor's expression, the father-in-law got the answer, deliberately pretended to be unbearable, and complained: "This Li Wanning really doesn't know what to do, which woman in the palace doesn't hope for the emperor's grace like the stars and the moon?" That's good! ”

The emperor knew that he was a little sorry for the Li family, and he didn't want to force Wanning, hoping that she would throw herself into his arms completely voluntarily.

After the emperor left, the last words he said lingered in Wan Ning's mind. Isn't it? It's good to marry Brother Ziang, except for the identity of the concubine. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh lightly. But as soon as she thought that after she had finished her filial piety, she could still be supported as a wife after marrying into the Gao family, and she kindled her hope again.

After a long talk with the emperor, within a few days, it was rumored that there was a rough girl in Yunyan Pavilion who was fortunate by the emperor, and she was soon crowned a talented person, and I heard that it would not be long before she would be named Jieyu.

Before Wan Ning could react, the emperor was fortunate to be a rough girl again. Although the position is not high, everyone can see that he is very favored.

The life of the favored is naturally better. Needless to say, not only do you have your own palace to live in, but you are also in the city, and your status has been climbed.

Everyone can see that the emperor is doing it for Wanning. If you can get the favor of the emperor, you will be rich and noble all your life, and you will be impressed by others. Of course, Wan Ning understands that what the emperor is doing is nothing more than proving that "other men can't give it, but I can give it".

But Wanning was very unimpressed, she said to Yan'er: "Sister Yan, how do you say that this emperor is like a child? ”

Yan'er was taken aback: "Miss, you can't talk nonsense!" Even if it's the truth, you can't tell it! ”

At first, Wanning was very disdainful and didn't take it seriously. Not to mention what countermeasures are still being thought of. But when she thought about it later, it was not right, after all, he was the emperor, and he had to find a way to deal with everything.

I was thinking about it, and I learned from Xiao Wenjing's mouth that the emperor has been busy with government recently, and he may not have so much time to come to the harem.

If the emperor does not come to himself, the words "busy with the government" are like a good medicine that can heal the soul, you can breathe a sigh of relief, you don't have to worry about it, and it will make life better.

After Wan Ning confirmed that her uncle was not the mastermind who killed her father, she happily wanted to see Brother Ziang for a long time. It's just that I didn't expect the emperor to come out one after another, and Yunyan Pavilion was staring at it closely. She didn't dare to run to Gaofu blatantly.

The emperor can't come to the harem for the time being, and this time he can finally leave the palace happily.

But Wan Ning didn't know that the news that the emperor favored the people around Wan Ning had already drifted to Gao Ziang's ears. This kind of thing, the little rumor coming out of the palace, after Gao Ziang's brain processing, is a big deal.

He even thought that the emperor was going to favor Wanning, and sooner or later he would not be able to escape.

Wan Ning came to Gaofu with joy, and as soon as she saw him, she happily hugged him.

"What's wrong? So happy today. ”

Wan Ning didn't speak, and kept holding him, as if she wanted to stick to him. "I'm finally sure that my uncle didn't want to kill him."

"Who told you that? Emperor? ”

Wan Ning nodded slightly: "Hmm." ”

"You don't believe what I said, you only believe the emperor?" Gao Ziang asked coldly.

"What do you say? What's so jealous about this. The emperor interrogated Zuo Linghong and even his uncle. They didn't dare to deceive the emperor. ”

His tone was still cold: "Father won't lie to me either." ”

"It's different."

Seeing Wan Ning so happy, he couldn't bear it, so he only smiled faintly.

After a while, Gao Ziang finally couldn't help it, and said solemnly: "The maid of Yunyan Pavilion is pampered, obviously with ordinary qualifications, but she has been promoted to a talented person. Your Majesty, this is obviously for you to see. Wanning, I ask you. If he compels you, how will you be? ”

"This Grandpa Cui, why do you tell you everything?" Wan Ning frowned and said, "The emperor may not be as rare as you think." Maybe he really likes those two little girls? ”

"What? Wanning, do you still want to hide it from me? Gao Ziang looked at her.

"I just don't want you to think about it, why do I want to hide it from you?"
