For countless days and nights, she put all distracting thoughts outside. No matter what happened in the outside world, she just practiced wholeheartedly.
The breeze brought a coolness, and it was another quiet and long night.
There are thousands of lights in Linhuai City, and the palace is even more brilliant. How can a mortal understand the majesty of the royal family?
The patrolling soldiers came and went, and the maids and eunuchs shuttled back and forth in the silent attic palace. They lowered their eyebrows and no one dared to look up at the emperor standing on the tall building.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night and it's very cold outside. Please come in." A eunuch said respectfully.
Wearing a dragon robe, a golden crown on his head, a handsome and cold face, and an imperial aura in his silhouette, he seemed even more difficult to approach.
However, I know that standing here all night will not help. I know very well what I am waiting for, but at the same time I also know that it will never be waiting.
Zhan Ye slowly turned around and walked into the main hall. As soon as he entered, he saw dozens of eunuchs with their heads lowered, each holding an unfolded picture scroll in their hands.
On the scroll, there are all kinds of beauties with different styles, fat and thin, all of them are stunningly beautiful, or they come from noble families or rich families.
There was a look of weariness between his brows, and when he saw these pictures of beauties, his brows were furrowed and his expression was unhappy.
The trusted eunuch Yong'an has been serving Zhan Ye since he was a child. He is the most observant and knows that he is unhappy, but this is an order from the Queen Mother and cannot be perfunctory.
"Your Majesty, these beauties have been delivered for many days. The Queen Mother has given orders. Your Majesty is now past the wedding age. If you don't establish a queen, I am afraid that the ministers in the court will annoy your Majesty.
It’s about time.” Yongan said as he knelt on the ground.
Zhan Ye frowned. How could he not know this? The matter of his wedding has been going on since before he ascended the throne.
Since the death of the late emperor, the queen mother has rarely been seen. She was planning to move to the palace, but before he could establish a queen, there was no one to manage the palace once he left, so the queen mother had to stay.
When I thought of the Empress Dowager's emaciated face when she went to pay her respects, although she had a grudge against her father, she was her biological mother after all.
If he gets married, the queen mother will probably be able to put her mind to rest and spend her remaining years in the palace wholeheartedly.
Thinking of this, Zhan Ye slowly walked towards those scrolls.
The eunuch Yong'an immediately followed him. Every time he came to a scroll, Yong'an immediately told him the woman's name, age, family background, etc. one by one.
All those beautiful faces passed before his eyes, but none of them could look into his cold eyes.
Just looking at these beauties, another beautiful face becomes clearer and clearer in my mind.
Yue, I want to marry you, I only want you in this life!
"Yingzi, the legitimate daughter of the Mu family, is twenty years old..."
Seeing Zhan Ye standing stunned in front of a painting for a long time, Yong An immediately told the family background of the woman in the painting with great joy.
She is twenty years old, which is already a late marriage among women of this era. However, this Miss Mu is indeed the niece of the Queen Mother, and she was also the best candidate for the Crown Princess. Unfortunately, as the Crown Prince, Zhan Ye had no intention of getting married, so it has been delayed.
.
Mu Yingzi also had a stubborn temper, and she swore in her boudoir that she would not marry anyone other than a warring prince! So she kept waiting, and many young men, rich men and nobles came to visit her in advance, but she was all turned away.
