Quick Wear: I raised this little wolf cub

Yun Shen also thought about it in his dreams at midnight. Was it really so unforgettable that he couldn't let it go, or was it because the dead can't come back, so the affection seemed particularly precious? But he himself didn't have the answer.

Because it was a small-scale talent show, it soon came to the stage of the emperor's personal selection. Although it was called a talent show, in fact the candidates had basically been decided. For an emperor of a country, appearance is not important, family background is the key.

On the day of the talent show, Yun Shen sat next to Li Xing. Maybe it was because the sunlight was too glaring, but Yun Shen suddenly felt that he saw Bai Hao.

Although it was a talent show, there were still some differences between men and women. In fact, the beauties were very far away from them and they could only get a vague look at them. Yun Shen also thought that they might be someone with similar looks and did not take it to heart, after all, that person was gone.

Yun Shen didn't look at the concubines again. After all, he was an outsider and it was not reasonable for him to do so. The emperor trusted him and invited him to go, but he couldn't be so tactful. Yun Shen only knew that the woman who looked like Bai Haoxiao was finally made a concubine.

The next time he entered the palace was when Li Xing invited him to discuss the wedding arrangements. Yun Shen and Li Xing set the wedding date for March after, and wanted to keep everything simple. As long as the emperor and empress performed the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, the ceremony would be considered complete.

Yun Shen didn't expect that when he passed by the Imperial Garden, he would see the person who had given him countless regrets in his midnight dreams again. However, this time, Bai Hao was no longer a man in military uniform but a woman in a silk dress.

Yun Shen stood there for a long time without any reaction. The woman opposite him slowly stepped forward and saluted, "Bai Yue, meet the Regent."

Yun Shen finally asked after a long while: "Bai Yue... do you have a brother named Bai Hao?"

Bai Hao never said that he had a younger sister, but they were so similar. No, it was not even similar. They were two exactly the same people. It was hard not to connect them together.

Bai Yue replied softly, "The Regent is very observant. I do have a brother named Bai Hao, who has... died on the battlefield."

Because the ceremony of coronating the queen has not yet been held, the successful selection of concubines has not yet been canonized. The ceremony of coronating concubines will have to wait until after the ceremony, and will be presided over by the queen herself.

Yun Shen didn't know what he was feeling, so he could only say, "Your brother...he died for his country. If you have any trouble in the future, feel free to come to the Regent's Palace to find me."

Bai Yue bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Regent."

Yun Shen nodded to Bai Yue, then immediately walked away quickly, not daring to look at that face any longer.

Bai Yue looked at the Regent's hurried back and curled the corners of her mouth. The fish was hooked.

After Yun Shen returned to the Regent's Palace, he couldn't calm down for a long time. He tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep. It was too similar, really too similar. He almost thought it was Bai Hao who was resurrected and standing in front of him.

Although it was quite shocking, to Yun Shen, Bai Hao was Bai Hao and Bai Yue was Bai Yue, they were not the same person.

Time passed quickly, and soon the day of the Queen's coronation ceremony was approaching. Because the Emperor and Empress had to hold a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven, the palace was basically very busy these days. Yun Shen was at home with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, Bai Yue would come to him on her own initiative.

At that time, Yun Shen was reading in the study when the housekeeper came to report that there was a woman outside the door who wanted to see him. Her name was Bai Yue.

Yun Shen immediately asked someone to bring the person over.

Bai Yue bowed and saluted: "My daughter greets the Regent."

Yun Shen asked, "What do you want? Although it has not been officially canonized yet, it is not appropriate to leave the palace privately. If you have something to say, please ask someone to let me know."

Bai Yue knelt down on the ground and said, "I am leaving the palace today because I have something important to ask the regent for help. You said that if I have any problems, you will help me for my brother's sake. I am bold enough to ask the regent for help today."

Yun Shen replied, "If there is anything I can do, just ask."

When Bai Yue spoke again, she was already crying: "Please forgive my death sentence, Lord Regent. I came here today to ask the Lord Regent to let His Majesty release me from the palace. I don't want to enter the palace as a concubine."

Yun Shen said in a deep voice: "This selection is voluntary, and there has never been any forced selection of girls to enter the palace. Since you don't want to enter the palace, why do you want to participate in the selection?"

Bai Yue wiped her tears and replied, "My Lord Regent, I had no other choice but to participate in the selection. After my brother left, I was the only one left at home. The county magistrate took a fancy to me and insisted on marrying me as his eighteenth concubine. I didn't want to, so he forced me to marry him. That's why I participated in the selection. I should have accepted my fate, but when I met you that day, you said you could ask for your help. I really don't want to be buried in the palace walls for the rest of my life. Please help me, Lord Regent."

Yun Shen helped Bai Yue up and said in a gentle voice: "This king knows, you get up first, this king will help you with this matter, you go back to the palace first, don't let anyone find out that you left the palace without permission."

Yun Shen called his deputy general Lin Yun to escort Bai Yue back to the palace, and instructed Lin Yun to make sure to get her back safely. Yun Shen himself then prepared to go to the palace to meet the emperor.

The carriage of the Regent's Palace stopped at the gate of the imperial palace. When Yun Shen walked into the imperial study, Li Xing was reviewing memorials. When he saw Yun Shen coming, Li Xing immediately put down the memorials in his hand.

Li Xing took the initiative to ask: "Why is the Regent here at this time?"

Yun Shen knelt down in front of Li Xing. Li Xing wanted to help Yun Shen up. Li Xing was a little surprised because he had already exempted the Regent from the kneeling ceremony.

Li Xing said as he walked: "Why is the Regent doing such a great ceremony today? Get up quickly."

Yun Shen stood still like a mountain, and then he kowtowed to the ground, "I am guilty of death, I have fallen in love with your majesty's concubine."

Li Xing paused while supporting him, "Regent, you..."

Yun Shen threw his head to the ground and said, "I know I am a traitor, but I fell in love with her at first sight. I will marry her in this life. I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish."

This was the most reliable method Yun Shenshen came up with after careful consideration. It would allow him to ask Li Xing to release Bai Yue and at the same time take the responsibility on himself. As long as he brought Bai Yue back to the Regent's Palace, he could then announce to the public that Bai Yue had died of illness and thus save her.

Li Xing didn't expect to hear such words. In his eyes, the Regent was not a person who indulged in love affairs. He also told him a few days ago that he had no intention of getting married at the moment. What kind of woman could make the Regent like this?

Li Xing asked curiously, "What kind of woman is it that makes you, the Regent, so obsessed with her?"

Yun Shen replied: "Your Majesty, it is Bai Yue."

When Li Xing heard the name, he hadn't reacted yet. The women he chose to enter the harem were all officials' women who had been discussed with Yun Shen. However, in order to show the emperor's favor, he had to choose a few commoner women. He just pointed to a few of them at random, so he had no impression of the name.

Although it was disrespectful for Yun Shen to fall in love with his woman, Yun Shen was different from others after all. The reason he could still stand here today was all thanks to the person in front of him.

Li Xing asked, "Does she have to be the regent?"

Yun Shen answered seriously: "I will not marry anyone else in this life."

Li Xing let out a long sigh. He never thought that Yun Shen would be trapped by love one day. "Hurry up and get up. I promise you."

Yun Shen kowtowed heavily, "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."

Li Xing smiled and said, "The regent is so serious. It really makes me curious about what kind of woman could have bewitched our regent so much."

Yun Shen responded, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for making fun of you. I am just an iron tree that has blossomed."

Li Xing said seriously: "Regent, this matter must not be spread out. I know what kind of person you are, but people in the world will not think so. This matter must be kept secret." Fortunately, on the day of the selection, no one noticed those civilian women. As long as he secretly found someone to replace them, no one would be able to notice anything.

Yun Shen said solemnly: "I thank your Majesty for your consideration for me. I will never let you down."

Li Xing regained his relaxed look, "Then I'll call her over, and you can take her away directly later. Don't let outsiders see it. By the way, let me see what kind of strange woman has bewitched the Regent so much."
