The enchanting beauty is pregnant, and the heirless male protagonist is overjoyed!

Xiao Ce'an was surprised when he heard Gu Yunyan's previous refusal.

Gu Yunyan must know what Fengming Palace represents.

Why did she refuse?

After hearing her next words, Xiao Ce'an laughed and was moved.

It turned out that this little fool had not yet understood his intention of letting her live in Fengming Palace, and knew the reason why Gu Yunyan was unwilling to move in.

He actually didn't want him to be criticized by the ministers.

He admitted that at that moment his heart felt infinite warmth as he looked at her beautiful, rosy and fair face.

You can't be soft-hearted.

Xiao Ce'an couldn't help but hug Gu Yunyan into his arms and held her tightly.

He buried his head in Gu Yunyan's shoulder and neck.

Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her body, my body felt a lot more relaxed and my mind seemed to be clearer.

Xiao Ce'an laughed twice:

"Who said you don't have a status? As long as you live in Fengming Palace, you will be my queen, my first wife."

He never crowned a queen.

The rule he set was whoever in the harem could successfully give birth to the first healthy prince would win.

Whoever becomes the queen.

Previously, the Queen Mother had always wanted him to enthrone her niece, Concubine Yi, as the Queen, but he used this rule to refuse.

Later, the imperial concubine successfully gave birth to Anle and raised her to adulthood.

Now a prince consort has been recruited.

He did not make an exception and enthrone the Imperial Noble Consort as Queen just because of his only daughter, Anle.

But since meeting Gu Yunyan.

He lost his former sense of propriety and always wanted to give her the best, including the position of queen.

He sometimes feels lucky.

Fortunately, he established this rule when he was young, so now he can make his beloved woman his queen.

His own wife.

Gu Yunyan knew the rule. She hesitated shyly and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't given birth to your prince yet, so how can I be the queen?"

"It will break the rule that the emperor once established."

"Not to mention whether the sisters in the harem will be dissatisfied with me, this will definitely be bad for the emperor's reputation. People outside will say that the emperor is not trustworthy."

"Your Majesty is a wise ruler. I don't want him to have a bad reputation because of me and ruin his reputation."

"So I dare to ask the emperor to withdraw his order."

Gu Yunyan's words were all about Xiao Ce'an's consideration.

Not only did she express her own feelings, but she also praised him as a wise ruler, which made Xiao Ce'an even more moved.

But it also made him more determined to make her the queen.

A woman who is good in every way should be given the best.

"Don't try to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind. I told you to be the queen, so just be the queen."

"I don't care about reputation."

As if to prove his determination, Xiao Ce'an pulled Gu Yunyan hurriedly through the corridor of Fengming Palace and returned to the Yangxin Palace.

Standing in front of the desk, writing with pen and ink.

In an instant, he wrote an imperial edict, "Wei Yu, keep this imperial edict and read it out at the morning court tomorrow."

General Wei Yu (General Wei) stepped forward and took the imperial edict.

I couldn't stop the surprise in my heart. Oh my god, how much does the emperor like Miss Gu?

Miss Gu hasn't entered the palace yet.

He was asked to arrange people to clean up Fengming Palace early on.

Now she has just entered the palace, and it has not even been half a day yet, and the imperial edict to confer the title of empress has been written. Miss Gu's position as empress is set in stone.

Gu Yunyan was very touched.

The atmosphere between the two was much more intimate, and Xiao Ce'an was reviewing memorials on the side.

Gu Yunyan was drinking tea and eating snacks on the chaise longue not far away, and reading a sketchbook to pass the time.

The two would look up at each other from time to time.

When their eyes happen to meet, they will smile at each other involuntarily.

The eyes are full of sadness.

.........

There was suddenly a woman in the palace.

It was Wei Yu, the emperor's trusted chief steward, who was waiting at the palace gate to receive him.

The news spread quickly, and in less than half an hour, the entire harem knew about it.

The concubines in the harem were both curious and jealous of Gu Yunyan.

The emperor hasn't entered the harem for several months.

He actually brought a woman in from outside. What does this woman look like to attract so much attention and care from the emperor?

In the Mingyue Palace at this time.

The imperial concubine had cold eyes and sneered continuously.

She knew who the woman who entered the palace was.

But I didn’t expect that as soon as Gu Yunyan entered the palace, she was taken to the Yangxin Palace by the emperor and has not come out until now.

To know.

Even she, the imperial concubine, could not stay in the Yangxin Palace for more than half an hour.

This Gu Yunyan is really a powerful person.

Can make the emperor make an exception for her.

..........

The Empress Dowager's Shou'an Palace.

Xiao Linyu was getting very annoyed at this moment: "Grandmother, my father is becoming more and more dissatisfied with me now."

"Although there is no evidence, my father has already begun to doubt me."

A trace of fear flashed in Xiao Linyu's eyes.

These days at the morning court, he could always notice that the emperor's cold and sharp gaze stayed on him longer and longer.

The countermeasures he proposed were always refuted.

This made some ministers who were fence-sitters start to distance themselves from him.

This is very detrimental to him.

The Queen Mother sat at the top, slowly turning a rosewood Buddhist bead bracelet with her right hand.

She lifted her eyelids and glanced at him, her tone calm:

"You said you have no evidence, what can he do to you? You should be more cautious recently, keep a low profile and wait for the right opportunity."

"You are still young. You can take the seat you deserve if you wait."

Xiao Linyu looked depressed and said:

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait until how long do we have to wait? Father is still unwilling to make me the crown prince."

"Will you let me take over the throne later?"

He expressed his doubts about this, and as long as he hadn't actually sat in that position for one day, he felt a sense of crisis.

Not to mention those in the royal family who attempted to replace him.

Even in the Duke Ling's Mansion, not all of his brothers agree with him.

They all wanted to pull him down and take his place.

The Queen Mother's face darkened and she said in an unhappy tone:

"I am not afraid of waiting even at my age, so why are you in such a hurry?"

"I didn't agree last time, but you were so eager to do it. Not only did it fail, but you almost got yourself into trouble."

"Just listen to me. Don't do anything. Just one word - wait."

"If you don't listen to my advice, I don't mind suggesting to the Emperor that he adopt another son from the royal family."

The Queen Mother said casually, her words full of threats.

Xiao Linyu lowered his eyes to hide the sinister look inside. His hands, hanging in his wide sleeves, were clenched into fists.

Several blue veins popped out on the back of his hand.

His nails dug deep into his palms, drawing blood.

Xiao Linyu opened his eyes wide, a trace of panic appeared on his face, and then he immediately lowered his eyes and said respectfully:

"Please forgive me, Grandmother. I will remember your teachings."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

Just listen to the advice.

She also didn't want to go through the trouble of training a new adopted son.

..........

After leaving the palace, he returned to the study in his mansion.

After sending away all the servants, no one was allowed to approach.

Only then did Xiao Linyu dare to release his emotions completely, his face was ferocious and his eyes were full of sinister intent.

No matter how angry he was, he still had his sanity.

So he just swept the rice paper on the desk to the ground, then pulled the bedding on the couch to the ground and started beating it hard.

To vent their dissatisfaction.

Xiao Linyu almost whispered:

"It's the same again. If I don't get what you want, you threaten me with having another stepchild."

"If it weren't for that new woman named Gu Yunyan who entered the palace and did something bad."

“How could I fail?”

A fierce light flashed in Xiao Linyu's sinister eyes.

Those who ruin his good deeds should not appear in front of him again, reminding him of his failure all the time.
