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

Le Xingxi suddenly got out of bed and looked at his brother. Le Wentao was standing not far away, waiting for him. There were no outsiders here, so there was no need to pretend to be a close brother.

He said fiercely, "You're dreaming!"

……

Feeling somewhat down, Zhong Tian returned to Xia Muning's small house, where Xia Muning was sitting at the table waiting for her.

The candlelight shone on half of his face, illuminating her troubled pupils; he was as beautiful as a still oil painting.

Zhongping had a fever last night, but the doctor prescribed some medicine, and he's much better now. The servants have already taken him to bed!

It's really late tonight; the outside world is already faintly glowing white.

Last night's busy, chaotic night is finally over! Xia Muning has never felt a night so long! He fought off his sleepiness and waited for Zhong Tian to return.

Upon seeing Nakata return, the still oil painting came alive, and the beauty gained a touch of liveliness. The joy on his face froze when he saw the red marks on Nakata's face.

"My lady, who hit you?"

Zhongtian regretted not applying a face mask before seeing Xia Muning to make the red marks disappear, and now he had made Muning worry for nothing.

"It doesn't matter."

Xia Muning knew that Zhongtian didn't want to talk about it, so he sensibly didn't ask any more questions. He reached out and hugged Zhongtian, pressing his face against her chest: "My lady, will His Majesty take me back to the palace?"

"will not!"

If Your Majesty did not want to be a tyrant, you would not have done something like forcibly taking a subject's husband.

Sleep well! I'll always be by your side.

Zhong Tian took Xia Muning's hand, walked to the bedside, and hugged Xia Muning.

Xia Muning's heart, which had been filled with fear all night, finally calmed down, and she fell into a deep dream!

Nakata held the soft, delicate body in his arms, but there was no sign of sleepiness in his eyes.

The next morning, His Majesty would set off early to return to the palace.

Zhongtian hurriedly dressed and washed up, then woke up Xia Muning, who was still fast asleep.

His Majesty arrived quietly last night, so there was no need to disturb the people in the temple. Now that his identity has been revealed, everyone in the temple should come out to see him off, as this is a sign of respect for the Emperor!

His Majesty was already fully dressed, followed by Consort Yue. He smiled at Zhong Tian and Xia Muning, who were rushing over, and said, "Zhong Qing, you're late."

Nakata also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

His Majesty slowly approached Xia Muning, and everyone present held their breath.

However, His Majesty's gaze lingered on Xia Muning's face for only a moment before shifting to the child being held by the servant.

Jiang Yuxiao carefully examined the child. The child looked about three parts like Zhong Tian and a full seven parts like Xia Muning.

Yesterday, Zhongping was not feeling well and cried a lot, but today he is feeling much better and is not afraid of people at all. He smiled sweetly at His Majesty and even reached out to ask His Majesty to hold him!

His Majesty did not hold her, but said with a kind expression, "This child is blessed!"

"Alright, let's go back to the palace!" Jiang Yuxiao said meaningfully, "Zhongqing, take your husband back to your residence!"

"……Yes!"

Nakata understood His Majesty's meaning, but he still felt a little worried.

His Majesty walked up to Yue Wenxi and helped Yue Xingxi, who was kneeling on the ground, to her feet.

In front of everyone, she was more restrained: "Lord Yue, stay here and take care. I will come to see you next time!"

"Your Majesty will certainly pray here for the country, wishing Your Majesty long life and prosperity, and wishing the Zhaohua Kingdom a thousand generations to come!"

"it is good."

His Majesty then departed.

Four days later, His Majesty will go to the examination hall to take the imperial examination, but he will not stay at the Zhong residence!

After His Majesty left, Zhongtian glanced at Le Xingxi.

Le Xingxi never looked at Zhong Tian. In the past, even if Le Xingxi pretended to be nonchalant in front of outsiders, she could not hide her lover's gaze and would look at Zhong Tian from time to time.

Now, even if one's gaze accidentally falls on Nakata, the expression remains cold. Yesterday's words must have had an effect, and Nakata's anxiety has subsided.

"Mu Ning, pack your things, let's go back to the manor!"

"Okay." Xia Muning nodded happily.

"Lord Xia, please stop for a moment. I have something I'd like to discuss with you." Xia Muning stopped in surprise, and Zhong Tian also stopped.

Le Xingxi gave her a cool glance: "Zhong Niangzi, do you have to listen to what we men are saying?"

Zhongtian knew that Le Xingxi was still angry, but she also knew that Le Xingxi would not hurt Xia Muning, so she left, but she still felt a little annoyed.

After everyone left, Le Xingxi looked Xia Muning up and down, and her words startled Xia Muning: "Last night I asked Zhong Tian to elope with me! Do you think she agreed?"

"No!" Xia Muning said firmly. "You were the one who slapped her on the face last night, weren't you?"

“My wife is a responsible person. She won’t abandon me and the children. Le Gongfeng, you’re keeping me here, not to tell me this, are you?”

Xia Muning knew that Le Xingxi had encouraged Zhong Tian to elope last night, so his tone wouldn't be very friendly for a while.

"What would you have done if Zhongniang had really eloped with me last night?"

How to do?

The thought of this possibility cast a shadow over Xia Muning's heart, but in an instant, she convinced herself otherwise.

“My wife won’t elope with you. If she did, she wouldn’t be the Nakata I love. If what you’re saying really happened…”

Xia Muning thought for a moment and said, "I will find her myself, and I will kill you!"

Xia Muning's tone was chilling, and Le Xingxi realized that he did not know Zhong Tian's husband. Xia Muning was usually gentle, generous, docile and kind when she was behind Zhong Tian, ​​but that was because she had not touched her sore spot.

The dragon has reverse scales, which will kill you if you touch it.

“Lord Le, if you continue to incite my wife to do such a treasonous thing, I don’t think you want to know what I can do. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

When it comes to a love rival, it's best to say nothing at all!

"Wait a minute, that's not why I called you."

"What's that?"

"My brother came to see me last night and told me something!"

Yesterday, Le Wentao came to see Le Xingxi and happened to see him about to elope with Zhongtian. This wicked brother wanted to help him, but Le Xingxi rebuked him. After calming down, he realized that eloping was just a momentary impulse and wouldn't work.

After expressing her regret with genuine emotion, Le Wentao told Le Xingxi something.

Le Xingxi asked Xia Muning, "Do you know why His Majesty is so attached to your brother?"

"Why?" Xia Muning stopped in her tracks, quite intrigued.

"It's because of guilt!"
