Chapter 205 The Enchanting Empress 23
With the joint efforts of the four people, the Great Yuan Kingdom seemed to have a new vitality.
The seas are peaceful and the rivers are clear, the people live a prosperous life, and the social order is in good order.
The economy has risen to several heights, and all industries are showing a booming development trend.
The Great Yuan Kingdom is full of vitality and its national strength is stronger than before, making it the focus of attention of neighboring countries.
Su Yun looked at all this and felt both relieved and emotional.
She knew very well that although these four people had caused her many emotional troubles, they were loyal in national affairs and had contributed their own strength to the prosperity of the Great Yuan Kingdom.
-
A month passed quietly.
The ban was lifted, but Su Yun did not do as the four people wished.
She found excuses to sleep alone every day and refused to let them sleep with her.
The four of them started competing for favor, each showing off their skills.
Yang Yiyan's eyes were fiery, and he often showed off his heroic figure in front of Su Yun, with gentle hints in his words.
Cui Lingzhi expressed his feelings through poetry and songs, and his affectionate words touched Su Yun's heartstrings intentionally or unintentionally.
Pei Yuan stayed by her side silently, trying to impress Su Yun with his meticulous care.
Li Ruoze was even bolder and more direct, with the flame of desire burning in his eyes, and he kept inviting Su Yun.
However, Su Yun remained unmoved. Every time they provoked him, he would make excuses saying he had something to do.
"I still have many government affairs to attend to, so I cannot summon you to my bed today."
Su Yun's tone was firm, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
She was still frightened by the absurd things that had happened before and did not dare to fall into the vortex of desire again.
Although the four of them felt lost, they did not give up.
They continued to look for opportunities, eager to win back Su Yun's favor and spend that passionate night with her again.
-
It was a sunny day, and the warm light spread all over the earth.
Su Yun finished his lunch and was enjoying this moment of peace.
At this time, the chief eunuch came hurriedly and reported:
"Your Majesty, Lu Ming of Fanyang's Lu family requests an audience, and has brought along five handsome men."
Su Yun was slightly stunned. Her biological mother was from the Lu family, so Lu Ming should be her cousin.
She thought for a moment and said, "Let's meet at the pavilion in the Imperial Garden."
Su Yun came to the pavilion in the imperial garden and sat down, with Jixiang and Ruyi beside him.
Her hands tapped unconsciously on the stone table.
The breeze blows by, bringing with it the scent of flowers.
Soon, Lu Ming came to the pavilion with five handsome men.
Lu Ming bowed respectfully and said:
"Your Majesty, your servant Lu Ming pays homage to His Majesty."
Su Yun raised his hand slightly, motioning him to stand up.
Her eyes fell on the five handsome men, and she secretly wondered why Lu Ming came.
Su Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his expression:
"What is the purpose of Lord Lu bringing so many men here?"
Lu Ming leaned forward respectfully and said sincerely:
"Among the four great families, only the Lu family has no one in the harem. The Lu family elder asked me to select a few handsome young men from the family to present to the emperor. They are well-educated, well-behaved, and young. I hope the emperor will accept them!"
Su Yun heard this and laughed in anger:
"Five at a time, the Lu family is really generous."
Her eyes swept over the five handsome men, and a feeling of irritation welled up in her heart.
She was already troubled by the previous incident involving four people, and now the Lu family sent these five men, which gave her even more headaches.
She knew very well that there must be a deeper meaning behind the Lu family's move, perhaps to consolidate the family's status, or perhaps to establish their own power in the harem.
But no matter what, she couldn't easily accept this "gift".
Su Yun secretly wondered how to deal with this move by the Lu family. He had to not offend the Lu family, but also maintain his own authority and the stability of the harem.
Su Yun raised his chin slightly, with a hint of majesty in his eyes.
She coughed lightly and said slowly:
"I appreciate Lord Lu's kindness. However, I have my own considerations regarding the affairs of my harem. Currently, with so many important national affairs, I have no time to worry about expanding my harem.
Furthermore, I have always advocated employing people based on their talent and virtue, rather than just their looks. Although these young men are handsome, I cannot accept them into my harem based solely on this.
I have taken note of the Lu family's kindness, and I hope that Lord Lu will take them back and find a good place for them to use their talents for the benefit of the country."
Su Yun spoke firmly, expressing her rejection of the Lu family's flattery and cleverly turning the topic to national affairs, demonstrating her wisdom and decisiveness as an empress.
At the same time, she also gave the Lu family a way out so that Lu Ming would not be too embarrassed.
After hearing what Su Yun said, Lu Ming was startled at first, then he showed a respectful yet slightly frightened look.
He saluted again and said:
"Your Majesty is wise, and I have been inconsiderate. Your Majesty's prioritization of the nation is truly a blessing to all the people. I will bring these young men back immediately and will faithfully follow Your Majesty's instructions to cultivate their talents for the benefit of the nation."
Lu Ming knew that Su Yun's refusal was both firm and well-reasoned, so he didn't dare to force it any further.
At the same time, he also understood that his act of flattery was a bit rash and might cause Su Yun's disgust.
Therefore, he could only retract his actions as soon as possible to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to the Lu family.
On the way out of the Imperial Garden, Lu Ming was secretly thinking about what to do next.
He realized that Su Yun was not an empress who could be easily influenced, and the Lu family needed to be more cautious and wise in their relationship with the royal family.
He decided to go back and discuss with the elders of the clan to readjust the Lu family's strategy in order to better safeguard the family's interests and status.
When the five handsome men saw the beautiful Empress Su Yun, they were eager to stay.
But after being rejected, they followed Lu Ming dejectedly.
From time to time, they looked back at the pavilion where Su Yun was, their hearts filled with reluctance and unwillingness, but the emperor's order was hard to disobey, so they could only leave silently, with melancholy and confusion revealed in their figures.
Su Yun looked at their gradually receding backs and breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought to herself that four was already too many, and if there were a few more, she would probably spend the rest of her life in bed.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly, feeling fortunate that she had decisively rejected Lu Ming's flattery.
A figure quietly appeared behind Su Yun and suddenly hugged her in his arms.
At this time, the servants in the pavilion had already left.
Su Yun turned around in astonishment.
"Li Ruoze? Why are you here?"
Li Ruoze's mouth corners slightly raised, his eyes full of passion:
"Of course I missed the emperor and lost my appetite, so I came to see him. I didn't expect to see Lord Lu recommending a male favorite to the emperor."
He leaned close to Su Yun's ear and whispered,
"Is it because we can't satisfy the Emperor? Does the Emperor want another man?"
Su Yun quickly denied:
"I didn't, I refused."
Li Ruoze's hands became restless, and his tongue gently licked her earlobe.
"I know, but Your Majesty, we have been abstaining from sex for too long."
Su Yun wanted to strike first and said angrily, "It's all because you guys are too outrageous."
Thinking of that ordeal, she couldn't get out of bed for three days.
