Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

Le Xingxi spoke first: "Lord Xia, we are about the same age, and I should be a few months younger than you, so why don't I call you brother? Don't worry, I will take good care of you here."

Xia Muning's heart skipped a beat: "Master Yue is joking. You are a devotee of Buddha! How can you address me as your brother? Wouldn't that be offensive!"

Although the two haven't had any major conflicts these days, they've exchanged quite a few words.

Le Xingxi and Xia Muning tested each other's bottom lines.

However, the reason the two sat together so tacitly and harmoniously tonight was because a servant from the Zhong family came to report that Zhong Tian was coming over.

Nakata arrived under the moonlight, carrying a chill with him, and was quite surprised to see the two people sitting in the courtyard.

She went over and touched Xia Muning's cold hands, saying with some concern, "It's getting chilly, don't stay in the courtyard for too long."

Since Zhong Tian appeared, Xia Muning's gaze had been fixed on him. He asked with some concern, "Has His Majesty left?"

"No. I estimate I won't leave until after the imperial examinations."

Xia Muning looked somewhat gloomy; it would be many more days before he could return home.

Looking at the two who seemed quite close, Le Xingxi's eyes darkened, and he looked somewhat disappointed. However, he still cheered himself up and said, "Madam Zhong, I'll be leaving now. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and you two must have something to say to each other."

Xia Muning glanced at Le Xingxi with some gratitude.

As soon as Le Xingxi left, Xia Muning hugged Zhongtian tightly: "My wife, I missed you so much!"

Since marrying Nakata, the two have slept together every night. Now, after only a few days away from Nakata, she feels lonely and sleepless every night!

Zhongtian affectionately stroked Xia Muning's hair: "Soon, soon, His Majesty will be leaving soon."

After talking with Xia Muning for a while, Xia Muning became a little sleepy and fell asleep in Zhong Tian's arms.

Xia Muning's body had not recovered since giving birth, and she had been living in fear these past few days. After seeing Zhong Tian, ​​she relaxed and quickly fell asleep.

Zhongtian carried Xia Muning back to the room, gently placed her on the bed, looked at Xia Muning's sleeping face for a while, and then quietly left.

After Zhongtian left, Xia Muning opened her eyes, her eyes showing no sign of sleepiness.

He knew that Zhongtian had come today not only to see him and the child, but also to find Le Xingxi. He was not familiar with the situation in the capital and could not provide Zhongtian with much help.

However, he couldn't bring himself to ask his wife to find other men, so he pretended to be asleep.

Le Xingxi knelt before the Buddha statue, diligently copying the scriptures.

He rubbed his sore arms. His master noticed the distracting thoughts in his mind and tried to calm him down, but his mind was filled with thoughts of Zhongtian!

Seeing Xie Muning and Zhong Tian together, he considerately left, leaving Zhong Tian and Xia Muning alone.

But he regretted it. They might have been embracing and whispering sweet nothings under the moon. He shouldn't have left; he should have just stood there, shameless.

He was thinking about it and reciting it aloud. When he realized it, he found that the Buddhist scriptures he was copying were filled with the two characters "仲田" (Zhongtian).

Amitabha Buddha, I hope the Buddha will not blame me!

Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door. Who could it be?

Le Xingxi curiously opened the door and saw Zhong Tian waiting outside, his eyes filled with undisguised joy! "What are you doing here?"

"Not welcome?" Nakata asked.

"No, come in quickly!" Le Xingxi wasn't going to be coy or say one thing but mean another. If Zhong Tian took it seriously and really left, he would regret it to death!

Xia Muning took a sip of the tea on the table. Seeing the densely copied Buddhist scriptures on the table, she asked, "Are you copying scriptures? Is this disturbing you?"

Le Xingxi shook his head. He originally wanted to hide the Buddhist scripture and his thoughts, but after thinking about it, he still took the scripture.

He placed it in front of Zhong Tian: "Zhong Niangzi, do you see all these names written on this paper? You are not only written on my paper, but also in my heart."

Nakata was drinking water when the direct shot caught him off guard, and all the water spilled out. Was it really that direct?

Aren't men in this world usually shy and reserved? Why is Le Xingxi so frank in expressing his love?

Le Xingxi came from a family of military generals. General Le was brave and tenacious in battle, and both of her sons were the first to make a move in love.

Although Le Xingxi was in poor health, he was a straightforward son from a military family.

"I……"

Nakata originally came to ask about His Majesty, but now he doesn't know what to say!

Le Xingxi continued, "I know my current status is sensitive, but I will return to secular life in four years, so I won't keep you waiting."

“But…” He scratched his head, “My mother would definitely not agree to me being a concubine, my brother wouldn’t agree either, and neither would I. So, to avoid putting you in a difficult position, I can be a concubine!”

Zhongtian stared at Le Xingxi in disbelief.

The words that came out of his mouth felt foreign to her! Was he thinking that far ahead?

She never had that thought; she simply regarded Le Xingxi as a good friend!

I treated you as a friend, but you want to marry me!

"I know this sounds a bit abrupt, but think about it carefully. You won't regret marrying me!"

Zhongtian wants to say that marriage cannot be measured by whether one suffers a loss or not.

However, Le Xingxi seemed to see through Zhongtian's thoughts and said, "My brother is the current emperor, and my mother is a great general. Although marriage cannot be measured by value, wouldn't it be better to marry me and gain more?"

"Zhongniang, think it over carefully." Le Xingxi walked up to Zhongtian and gently stroked Zhongtian's face with her finger, which made Zhongtian's heart flutter.

Le Xingxi continued, "I know why you came to find me. You want to know why His Majesty has been staying at the Zhong residence?"

The topic took a sudden and drastic turn, but Zhong Tian was somewhat taken aback. She nodded and said, "Yes."

"With Prime Minister Jiang in charge of the court, no matter how long His Majesty is away, the court will not fall into chaos! As for why he hasn't returned yet? You'll have to ask my good brother!"

Zhongtian was full of doubts.

"Ever since my brother entered the palace, he has kept a close eye on His Majesty. There are three thousand beauties in the palace, but His Majesty is not allowed to favor any of them. His Majesty is really impatient, so he used the excuse of checking the imperial examinations to escape to a place of leisure!"

Is Le Wentao really that amazing?

Thinking about it, it makes sense. As for His Majesty, Yue Wentao is extremely possessive. He is unwilling to share even his own brother, who shares the same father, with him, let alone anyone else!

His Majesty has no way to deal with Yue Wentao. Firstly, they grew up together and share a childhood bond; secondly, General Yue holds military power, and His Majesty needs to rely on her.

Suddenly, a young monk rushed over and said to Le Xingxi, "Senior brother, His Majesty has arrived and just happened to run into Lord Xia. You should go and see him!"
