Thinking of this, Muchuan said without hesitation: "To be honest, when I was young, I already had the woman I liked."
As expected by Muchuan, when he gave this answer, a look of satisfaction clearly flashed on Li Shimin's face.
However, the emperor kept his appearance to himself, and Li Shimin concealed the joy in his heart very well. Instead, he frowned, looking sulky.
"Well, Muchuan, as the future consort of the Tang Dynasty, you really dare to say anything!"
Muchuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, isn't this what you asked the minister? As a minister, naturally you cannot tell lies."
"You're full of lies, haven't you deceived me enough?"
"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
It seemed that Li Shimin was really dissatisfied with him. After Muchuan learned this, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
No matter how careful you are, the other party is the master of a country, and you are doing things under their noses. No matter how cautious you are, it is still a matter of closeness and sparseness.
Thinking of this, Muchuan became more convinced that he must gradually move his base camp away from Chang'an.
It's not easy for the emperor to get things done.
Fortunately, Li Shimin's mind was not on questioning the guilt. He changed the topic and said: "Mu Chuan, I have given you permission to speak out. Then tell me, do you want to be this consort?"
Hearing this, Muchuan laughed dryly and said: "How dare I have any ideas? If your Majesty wants me to be a minister, I will do it. If your Majesty does not allow me to be a minister, then I will not do it."
"You kid, you don't tell a single word of truth."
Li Shimin shook his head and glanced at Muchuan, "Since you have already made up your mind, I will not force you to marry the princess."
"After all, you also know the rules. A concubine is not allowed to take concubines for the rest of his life."
Hearing this, Muchuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
The stone that had been weighing on him for so long was finally let go.
As a time traveler, especially in a feudal dynasty where three wives and four concubines were legalized, it would be foolish to stick to monogamy.
Previously, because of the inexplicable pressure on him to be the consort, Muchuan could only sigh secretly when he met the woman he liked.
As Li Shimin said, the prince-in-law sounds beautiful, but in fact it is very sad.
It doesn't matter if he can't take concubines, he still has no status in front of his wife.
After all, the consort's wife is a royal daughter, can her status be the same as that of ordinary women?
"I thank your Majesty!"
Muchuan himself thanked him repeatedly.
Seeing this, Li Shimin nodded expressionlessly, then turned around and said, "Okay, it's getting late, so Mu Aiqing should go back and rest."
"I resign!"
After Muchuan left, Li Shimin's face showed a hint of relief.
Being able to cancel the engagement without angering Muchuan was a pretty good result for him.
only.
Li Shimin thought of the infinite possibilities in Muchuan, and his expression became uncertain again.
Without the identity of the consort, this means that the shackles that bound Muchuan have disappeared.
Faced with such an extremely unstable and uncertain factor, Li Shimin was full of hesitation.
Once all the value is squeezed out, get rid of it immediately!
Li Shimin's eyes were filled with coldness, and he had already set the ending for Muchuan in advance.
"Today is a good day~"
On the way back home, Muchuan happily hummed a ditty.
Being able to get rid of the relationship with the royal family may be the most joyful thing for Muchuan besides the steam engine recently.
Seeing that Muchuan was so happy, Gao Kan, who was driving the car, also giggled and said: "Master, you are in such a high mood, could it be that His Majesty has promoted you again?"
"That's not true."
"Is that a reward of gold and silver for you?"
Muchuan rolled his eyes at Gao Kan speechlessly, "Do you think I am the master of money?"
Monk Gao Kanzhangba couldn't figure it out at this time, and said with a confused face: "Since there is no benefit at all, why is the young master so happy?"
"Your Majesty has canceled my engagement with Princess Changle."
Because he was in a good mood, Muchuan did not hide the matter and told Gao Kan himself.
After all, it is better for things like this to be spread more widely.
Muchuan didn't want to miss out on many opportunities because of his status as consort.
Hearing this, Gao Kan couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"Master, your status as Prince Consort has been revoked, why are you still so happy?"
In Gao Kan's view, being able to become the Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty was the dream of all men in the world.
You know, as long as you can be related to the royal family, it will undoubtedly be a great opportunity for a person to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven.
Muchuan shook his head and said, "What do you think the prince-consort has to do? He's just a chain."
Li Shimin wanted to lock up Muchuan as his consort, but how could Muchuan not know the true meaning of this consort?
Therefore, being able to get rid of this invisible chain is undoubtedly a blessing for Muchuan.
Of course, Muchuan knew it very well.
Without this chain, I'm afraid Li Shimin's attitude towards himself would change a lot.
A chained vicious dog is a good helper for hunters.
But in the eyes of a hunter, an unfettered vicious dog is a double-edged sword that may bite its owner at any time.
Faced with this situation, the hunter's best choice is to kill the vicious dog before it loses control, then cook its meat and skin it, squeezing out every drop of its value.
However, Muchuan was not a dog, and Li Shimin was not a hunter.
Who will have the last laugh in the end is still uncertain.
Zhi~acridine~
Late at night, the door was suddenly pushed open.
All the beautiful ladies, who were already nervous and insomniac, were so frightened by this strange movement that they all stood up from the bed.
The person who came was carrying an oil lamp, but it was the old maid who was in charge of them.
"Everyone, get up. We are going to the palace tomorrow. Do you plan to sleep in the next life?"
The beautiful lady quickly dressed and got out of bed.
Even if some of them may gain the favor of the emperor in the future and become one of the masters of the harem.
But after all, that is something that will happen in the future. As for now, they are just a group of low-status showgirls. Facing this extremely qualified old maid, they dare not complain at all.
Soon, these beautiful ladies were gathered in the courtyard.
The old maid glanced at everyone and pulled out one of the women.
"Look at the dark circles under your eyes. You still want to enter the palace like this? Just dream!"
After saying that, the old maid directly ordered the beautiful girl to be driven out.
This beautiful lady begged again and again.
For this show girl election, her family almost spent all their wealth, just for the chance to fly to the branches and become a phoenix one day.
However, the election was quite cruel, and no matter how much she begged, she couldn't even make the old maid blink.
Seeing a companion being driven away in this way, all the beautiful girls who stayed behind felt as if they had been showered with cold water, and they were all extremely excited.
The old maid looked around again, drove away a few listless show girls, and then reluctantly nodded.
"Remember, even if you are just beautiful girls, you still have very high requirements in terms of posture, appearance and etiquette."
"Don't blame me for being harsh. When you become more successful, you will understand how important my advice today is."
At this time, a beautiful lady suddenly sneezed.
The old maid noticed this abnormal situation instantly, "Who? Come forward!"
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on a woman. Even if no one spoke, the person who sneezed was already exposed.
"You want to enter the palace even though you're infected with the cold? Get lost."
As soon as the word "gun" came to her mouth, it was swallowed directly by the old maid.
The beautiful women staying here are all of the highest quality, but this woman is like the bright moon among the stars, she looks particularly dazzling.
