Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

It's not that I don't have a man I like, it's just that the man in my heart doesn't intend to get married and have children.

For a fleeting moment, Qin Yanling was a little confused.

He didn't know who Xu Jiu was talking about.

"The person I love is His Majesty, but His Majesty has no intention of taking any concubines, so I have no choice but to leave."

"You like me?"

Qin Yanling was genuinely surprised. He never imagined that Xu Jiu would like him. Qin Yanling had indeed stated in front of everyone that he did not intend to take any concubines, but he never expected that this person would like him.

"I had seen His Majesty's portrait before coming here. I thought His Majesty was really handsome and dashing, which I admired very much. But when I arrived here, His Majesty told everyone directly that he did not intend to take any concubines."

Qin Yanling looked at Xu Jiu in front of her. Xu Jiu was extremely beautiful, especially the corner of her eye, where there was a beauty mark under her eye.

It would be a lie to say that Qin Yanling was unmoved, but Qin Yanling had to do it for the sake of the country and its people.

Then I thought about it carefully again, and even if it was such a piece of junk, so what?

"Jiu'er, since you like me, then I will grant your wish. I wonder what you think?"

Xu Jiu was truly astonished that Qin Yanling would actually agree, which meant that he had not disappointed his father's expectations.

At this moment, Qin Yanling walked over to Xu Jiu and picked her up in his arms.

After that, Qin Yanling and Xu Jiu naturally had a passionate encounter.

It's unclear how much time passed, but Qin Yanling had already dressed and arrived at the Imperial Study to write an imperial edict.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: the princess of the neighboring country is hereby conferred the title of Consort Ling, and this is proclaimed throughout the land..."

He then handed the imperial edict to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu was the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department. When Jiang Yu received this imperial edict, he must have been quite frightened. He almost dropped the edict in his hand. How could His Majesty want to confer a concubine after only one day?

When Qin Yu learned of this news, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, and he stood up abruptly. He looked at the waiter in front of him and asked him, "Is this true?"

"It is indeed true that His Majesty bestowed the title of Consort Ling upon the princess of the neighboring country and granted her the Shuanghua Palace."

The princess from the neighboring country was supposed to leave tomorrow, but she was made a concubine today. What exactly happened? Qin Yu really wanted to know the answer, so he went to the palace himself.

"What exactly is going on with the Emperor? Why did he suddenly bestow the title of Consort Ling upon the princess of the neighboring country?"

As soon as Qin Yu arrived at the Imperial Study, she questioned Qin Yanling, who then told her the truth. "The princess came here for a marriage alliance, Your Majesty, there's no reason to send her back."

Qin Yu used mind-reading ability to learn Qin Yanling's inner thoughts...

So Qin Yanling also has feelings for this princess, huh. Qin Yu sneered.

Qin Yu then arrived at Shuanghua Palace and saw Xu Jiu dressed as a concubine.

Do you even know what you're doing right now?

Qin Yu questioned Xu Jiu, who replied that he naturally knew everything.

"How can you do this to Shangguan Mufeng?"

Xu Jiu remained silent. After a moment of contemplation, she told Qin Yu, "I came here solely to marry the Emperor. How could you possibly be interested in such ordinary mortals?"

"If I were to discover your ulterior motives, I would be capable of..."

In the end, Qin Yu left in a fit of anger. After leaving, he went outside and, carrying a sword, went into the bamboo forest to practice his swordsmanship, cutting down a large section of bamboo.

Mo Yun had been searching for Qin Yu, but he never expected that he would not be able to find her after searching for a long time. Suddenly he remembered the elegant residence that Qin Yu had visited before, so he came here and saw Qin Yu practicing swordsmanship. More importantly, it was raining heavily.

But Qin Yu showed no intention of leaving. Mo Yun felt heartbroken seeing Qin Yu's appearance and walked directly to her.

Mo Yun held Qin Yu tightly. At this moment, Mo Yun understood what Qin Yu was angry about. In fact, Mo Yun had never expected that the princess of the neighboring country would successfully become Qin Yanling's concubine.

Qin Yu hoped that the princess from the neighboring country could become Shangguan Mufeng's wife, but in the end, she found that the two of them would miss each other.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Yu finally calmed down, felt a warm embrace, looked up at Mo Yun, and hugged him tightly. "You wouldn't betray me, would you?"

Mo Yun reassured Qin Yu that he would never betray her. Since Qin Yu had been by his side since the beginning, Mo Yun decided to stay by her side and not go anywhere else.

Qin Yu felt a warm glow in her heart, and before she knew how much time had passed, she had fallen asleep.

Hearing the even breathing sounds coming from inside his arms, Mo Yun looked down and couldn't help but kiss Qin Yu.

Afterwards, Qin Yu was carried back to the princess's residence, and the people around them, seeing the situation between Qin Yu and Mo Yun, couldn't help but start to speculate.

"His Highness was in a bad mood and went to practice swordsmanship in the bamboo forest."

Then, Chunfeng and Yuzhu helped Qin Yu change out of her wet clothes.

On the other side, Shangguan Mufeng was shocked when he learned of this news.

I never imagined that Xu Jiu would become Qin Yanling's concubine, and even be given the title of Consort Ling by Qin Yanling.

For some reason, Shangguan Mufeng was overwhelmed with mixed feelings at that moment. He was not sad, but he was also sad. He couldn't quite see what was going on in his heart.

Shangguan Nantian then took a pot of Daughter's Red wine and walked up to Shangguan Mufeng.

When Shangguan Mufeng saw his father, he was a little surprised by the Daughter Red wine in his hand.

"I know you're feeling bad, but what I want to tell you is that you have to get through everything, you can't just not get through it, do you understand?"

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Mufeng smiled faintly. "Father, you don't need to worry too much about your son. I know I'm fine."

Taking this opportunity, Shangguan Nantian mentioned that the governor's daughter had feelings for him.
