The emperor slowly picked up the teacup and waited for Shen Shuangyue's choice.

He grew up with the prime minister, and their relationship was naturally no different from others. So when he heard that the prime minister's three sons fell in love with the same girl and hoped that he could keep Miss Shen in the palace and help Miss Shen get married to one of the three boys under his nose, he agreed without thinking.

He absolutely refused to admit that he just wanted to watch the fun.

But he didn't expect that bastard boy to leave a bunch of messes behind and go to Nancheng to chase his wife. As a result, when he failed to chase his wife, he decided to chase his wife's owner.

And his son who recites Buddhist scriptures and chants Buddha's name every day actually has a crush on Miss Shen!

This is why he allowed Concubine De to invite Miss Shen into the palace to establish his authority.

He wanted to see what was so special about a common woman!

Then he received the news that his arrogant Concubine De, who was in charge of the harem, had fallen into the arms of a young girl.

Although he knew that Concubine De was only aggressive on the surface, she was actually kind-hearted at heart. If he hadn't protected her all these years, she would have been torn to pieces just for her act of keeping both twins.

But it’s not necessary to establish Ma’s power and stand in someone’s arms!

So he decided to meet Miss Shen in person.

Therefore, after discovering that Miss Shen was not afraid of him, he suddenly had an idea and gave her a difficult problem.

Since the prime minister came to him for help, he would not really let the girl kneel outside. He just wanted to see if the girl could resolve the crisis.

Thinking of this, he put down the teacup and his expression became serious. "If Miss Shen is unwilling to choose, then go kneel outside and don't waste my good tea."

Shen Shuangyue calmly picked up the teacup, a smile on her lips, "Your Majesty, to be honest, the three brothers and the fifth prince each have their own strengths. If I choose one, it would be like giving up the others. I can't bear to do that!

But I can't afford to support them. How about Your Majesty help me raise them, and I'll let them marry into my family, as they wish. What do you think?"

The emperor laughed out of anger and said, "Just talk about the three brothers, why mention the fifth prince!"

He put down the teacup heavily. "The Prime Minister is the backbone of this dynasty. I cannot afford to lose this person. I can only choose one person. If I don't choose him, I will kneel down."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuangyue stood up, walked to the emperor, and whispered, "I choose xxx."

She spoke very vaguely with her tongue rolled up. Not only did the emperor not hear clearly, but even Shen Shuangyue herself didn't know what she was saying.

She simply said, "I beg the Emperor to grant us marriage. Thank you so much for your help."

The emperor immediately knew Shen Shuangyue's plan. If he had someone in mind and forced the marriage on her, Shen Shuangyue would not be able to resist.

If she chooses to be vague, if he admits that he didn't hear clearly, she can use excuses like "I'm sorry to repeat it again". If he asks her to explain more clearly, she can still be vague. They can chat like this all night.

If he were to choose, the Fifth Prince would definitely have objections. He didn't want to hear the Fifth Prince say to him, "Father, you are provoking me!"

But he still chose to ask again: "Who did Miss Shen just talk about? I was distracted for a moment and didn't hear clearly."

Shen Shuangyue lowered her head, looking a little shy. Just as she was about to say something vague, she heard the sound of the door being slammed open.

The three brothers and the fifth prince ran to the emperor in disheveled clothes and said in unison: "Your Majesty, your sons and ministers pay their respects. Your Majesty, I believe that Nian Xing does not need to choose. Your sons and ministers can just marry into the emperor's family!"

The Fifth Prince's face was filled with admiration. "Father, you are truly amazing. You can make Nian Xing yield with just a few words. Unlike me, I was unwilling to accept the promise of being Nian Xing's maid."

"Nonsense!" The emperor's eyes were grim and his low voice was filled with deep displeasure.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Mo Linqing's expression was sincere, with a hint of soothing intent. "The Fifth Prince is temporarily bewildered. I believe that if you talk to him properly, he will definitely give up Nian Xing."

The emperor's expression relaxed slightly. Mo Linqing was the most reliable person among the four.

But he didn't expect that Mo Linqing's next words would be: "I beg the emperor to let me be Nian Xing's legal husband, to earn money for her to support the family, to keep her healthy, to manage the harem for her, and to serve her as a massage therapist."

The corners of Shen Shuangyue's lips twitched slightly, and it seemed quite real.

The emperor laughed in anger. This was not about helping him solve his problems, but about trying to kick his son out and take the position of legal husband himself!

The Fifth Prince was afraid that his father would agree directly, so his voice was filled with anxiety, "Father! You can't agree to this! I know you can't let me be your husband. Then I can only be your concubine. Can you bear this?"

The emperor was so angry that he picked up the teacup and wanted to throw it at the fifth prince.

Mo Linfeng quickly caught the teacup, his eyes filled with morbid paranoia. "Your Majesty, can you give me this teacup as a reward? I'll open a teahouse someday, and the teacup with the Dragon's Mouth logo will surely attract many people. If I use this teacup to hold water, it won't be a problem to sell it for dozens of taels. I want to use the money to help Nian Xing buy a house closer to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The emperor was disgusted by Mo Linfeng. His eyes fell on Shen Shuangyue and he gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Shen, who did you choose just now? I will grant you a marriage right away!"

The fifth prince and his three brothers couldn't help but look at Shen Shuangyue.

Shen Shuangyue had no expression on her face and answered irrelevantly: "Your Majesty, why don't you tie him up tighter?"

The implication is, why did they let the four of them out!

The emperor fell silent, and even he had to admit that it was understandable that Miss Shen looked down on these three people.

He fixed his gaze on Mo Linming, the only one who remained silent, with a glimmer of hope that he could make the Fifth Prince give up: "Why don't you speak?"

Mo Linming bowed and said in a sweet voice, "Your Majesty, I know my own limitations. I can't compete with the Fifth Prince, nor can I compete with my eldest brother, nor can I compare with my second brother. I can only wait for my sister to find a husband and then enter the palace to serve as a maid."

The emperor is numb. It’s right that Miss Shen didn’t choose you.

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of making things difficult for Shuangyue, Mo Linfeng added fuel to the fire.

He raised the teacup and looked at Shen Shuangyue affectionately: "Nianxing, I know you are worried about not being able to support us. Don't worry, I can earn money to support us. Not to mention my business ability, this teacup is enough for us to eat and drink. I also have many imperial gifts at home. I can make a lot of money by charging people to visit."

The corners of Shen Shuangyue's lips twitched. He was quite generous. He helped his wife to keep a concubine, and maybe even kept her husband as well.

The domineering fifth prince said domineeringly: "No need, I will take care of it!"

Mo Linming said in a sweet voice, "I'll marry my sister and follow her. I'll give all my money to her and let her support me."

Mo Linqing: "Just give me two steamed buns, and I can even give you a massage."

Shen Shuangyue looked at the emperor helplessly, "Your Majesty, do you understand me?"
