It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

Yes.

In this world, what woman is willing to share her husband with others?

Ye Nanyue's words expressed everyone's thoughts.

In the men's area across the street, those who had previously felt proud of having virtuous wives were all lost in thought.

Does his wife not love him enough?

Those men who had jealous wives used to feel ashamed, but now after hearing what Ye Nanyue said, they actually felt a sense of pride!

Concubine Li's face turned pale and blue. "You are just making up stories. How can you serve the virtuous king alone? How can you expand the royal family?"

"Even if you don't want others to share your husband with you, don't you want your husband to be more comfortable with more people serving him?"

"You are the one who doesn't value your husband, right?"

When Ye Nanyue heard what Concubine Li said, she pretended to cry and even wiped her non-existent tears with a handkerchief.

She pretended to choke up and said, "Your Majesty is right. If my husband really liked a girl and really wanted to take her into the palace, I wouldn't say anything."

"But if I were asked to do it willingly, I would definitely not be able to do it."

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Lu Huaiyang to hear.

Ye Nanyue didn't even need to look over there to feel Lu Huaiyang's burning gaze coming towards her.

Concubine Li snorted coldly and was about to say something else when Concubine Xie interrupted her: "Sister Concubine Li, you should mind your own business and take good care of the Second Prince's impulsive temper so that His Majesty will worry less."

"As for the affairs of the Xianwang Mansion and our Xie family, your Majesty does not need to worry about them."

Concubine Li glanced at Concubine Xie, snorted coldly, and said, "Of course I wouldn't care too much, but seeing that Miss Xie has waited for the virtuous king for so many years...it's really not easy. I just thought of everything a girl should think of."

Concubine Li glanced at Lu Huaiyang and asked, "Xian Wang, look at how devoted Miss Xie is to you. Why don't you fulfill her feelings?"

Lu Huaiyang glanced at Concubine Li calmly and said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry about the affairs of my harem."

"If you talk about Miss Xie in public like this, people who don't know would think you are deliberately trying to ruin her reputation."

"If not, then could it be that Your Majesty is deliberately trying to displease my princess? Trying to sow discord between us?"

Ye Nanyue secretly gave Lu Huaiyang a thumbs up in her heart.

This man is usually serious and cold, but when he really encounters something, he is very accurate in his response.

Most people can't even keep up with what he says.

Ye Nanyan immediately understood Lu Huaiyang's intention. She glanced at Concubine Li and suddenly realized what was going on. "Your Majesty, are you targeting us because the virtuous prince saved His Majesty and the second prince broke his leg?"

"I'm sorry... the situation was urgent at the time, and my husband, being a filial son, really didn't consider this. Please don't make things difficult for us."

"You...what nonsense are you talking about? When did I say that was what I meant?" Concubine Li's face changed.

If this is admitted, it would be a serious crime.

"Isn't it?"

Ye Nanyan feigned confusion and looked at Concubine Li: "Then what does your Majesty mean?"

Concubine Li: "I am just concerned about Miss Xie. I am also concerned that there are too few people in the virtuous queen's house. You will also be called a shrew."

"Since you are so ungrateful, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Concubine Li flicked her sleeves, snorted coldly, and returned to her seat.

Ye Nanyue picked up the teacup and took a sip, then glanced at Xie Wanning over there.

Seeing her like that, she seemed embarrassed and anxious, her face flushed and her eyes a little red.

And he frequently looked towards Lu Huaiyang.

Ye Nanyue also glanced at Lu Huaiyang and gave him a look.

Lu Huaiyang nodded slightly and nodded to Ye Nanyue, indicating that he understood.

Ye Nanyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Xie Wan Ning again, Xie Wan Ning had already stood up and said she was going to change clothes.

Ye Nanyue knew that she was probably a little embarrassed, so it was not appropriate for her to stay there and find an excuse.

Not long after Xie Wanning left, Lu Huaiyang also left...

Next to the palace beside the Glazed Palace, Xie Wanning's maid ran into the room where she was resting and whispered in her ear, "Miss, I just heard from a palace maid that the virtuous prince is alone by the lake in the backyard."

"Really?" Xie Wan Ning looked at the maid hopefully.

Xie Wanning's maid nodded quickly: "Yes, Miss, please..."

Xie Wan Ning's eyes lit up, and she said to the maid, "I'll go take a look. Come with me and help me keep watch."

"Yes, ma'am."

After a while, Xie Wan Ning avoided the crowd and patrolling guards and walked to the pavilion by the lake.

Next to the pavilion, Lu Huaiyang leaned on the railing, rubbing his eyebrows, looking like he was drunk.

When Xie Wan Ning saw Lu Huaiyang, her heart beat faster and faster.

She took a few deep breaths, suppressed her excited heart, and walked towards Lu Huaiyang.

When she arrived at the pavilion, Xie Wan Ning looked around vigilantly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that no one was paying attention to her.

Then, he gave a wink to the maid, who immediately stepped back two steps to help Xie Wan Ning guard the person.

Xie Wanning took two more steps forward. Lu Huaiyang heard the sound and asked coldly, "Who's there?"

Xie Wan Ning took a step forward and revealed her figure.

Looking at Lu Huaiyang, her tone was gentle and innocent: "Your Highness, it's me. I am Wan Ning."

Lu Huaiyang frowned slightly and asked, "What do you want?"

Xie Wan Ning's eyes were already red. Seeing that Lu Huaiyang did not reject her, she bravely took two steps towards the pavilion, tears streaming down her face before she said a word.

"Your Highness, do you hate me very much?" Xie Wan Ning bit her lips, revealing a pitiful expression.

She thought, since she was always cold towards outsiders, but was so gentle towards Lu Huaiyang, he would definitely be touched, right?

Lu Huaiyang frowned: "What do you want to say?"

"Your Highness, ever since I was old enough to understand, I have believed that I would be yours in the future."

Xie Wan Ning looked at Lu Huaiyang, tears welling in her eyes: "Did Your Highness never think of marrying me all those seven years ago?"

Lu Huaiyang felt disgusted, but remembering Ye Nanyue's instructions, he suppressed his temper and impatience and did not lose his temper.

But he didn't speak either.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xie Wan Ning thought he agreed and was delighted.

She took two steps closer to Lu Huaiyang and said, "If Your Highness has even the slightest thought, please accept me as your concubine, even if it's not a concubine, a concubine, or a maid..."

"Just give me a chance and let me stay with Your Highness."

"Your Highness, I will serve you well and will definitely not compete with the virtuous princess for anything."

She has already compromised and been so humble, Lu Huaiyang should not refuse, right?

"Do you really want to follow me so much?" Lu Huaiyang asked.

Xie Wan Ning bit her lip and nodded shyly.

"Okay, I can promise you. But... you have to do one thing."
