The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

He told Lin Zhao these things simply because he wanted to confide in someone about his urgency; he didn't really expect Lin Zhao to come up with any solutions for him.

He came up with one excuse after another to get closer to Yue Li, but no matter how much he thought about it, none of them worked.

In the end, Sheng Yifan gave up on finding other solutions. Instead of thinking about it here, he decided to visit the manor where they were staying.

We'll discuss everything once we meet the person.

After figuring it out, Sheng Yifan immediately ordered his men to prepare the carriage. He and Lin Zhao personally packed some local specialties that he had sent from various places a few days ago, intending to give them to Yue Li to see what kind of items she liked. This way, when preparing things for Yue Li later, he could prepare accordingly.

Jin Moyu and Gong Hanmo also coincidentally met up and talked about this matter.

"Are you really planning to go?" Jin Moyu asked, looking at her friend.

"Of course, don't you want to go? I don't believe you don't want to get close to her, don't want to gain her approval like the young master, and stay by her side." Gong Hanmo's face, which looked exceptionally young and cute to Yue Li, was unusually serious when he spoke these words.

"Of course I've thought about it too," Jin Moyu said affirmatively.

Come to think of it, he had less interaction with her than Gong Hanmo did.

After all, Gong Hanmo had been saved by her, and the two had direct contact.

Although he was immediately attracted to Yue Li's unconventional temperament when he first saw her on that pleasure boat, and could not forget her ever since, he never dared to hope that he could actually marry her because of the huge difference in their social status due to Prince Chen.

After that, because of Gong Hanmo, he saw her several more times. Each time he saw her, he could see a difference in her, which further fueled his feelings of love.

At that time, Jin Moyu thought that even if he couldn't marry her openly, he would be willing to treat Yue Li like a pet, just like any other wife.

But all of this became his wishful thinking after Yue Li and Prince Chen got married.

Even if it's just a pipe dream, he's willing to try his best to achieve it.

"Just do it if you want to. In this day and age, why care about rules and etiquette when you want to marry a lady? Besides, you don't need a family marriage. And so what if Prince Chen is your uncle? You're not related."

Sometimes he really couldn't understand his friend. He had a charming and seductive appearance, and he was extremely unconventional in his actions. No matter which lady or maid saw him, she would always take a second look.

Why did you back down when it came to Yue Li?

Seeing that he had clearly gained more courage after listening to his words, Gong Hanmo added another dose of spice: "If you don't want to go, that's fine, but I'm going anyway. At the very least, I want to reserve a spot before Sister Li finds enough husbands."

It wasn't that he wanted Jin Moyu to become Yue Li's husband, but he knew that even if he didn't choose Jin Moyu, someone else would be by Yue Li's side.

Rather than dealing with unfamiliar people who might be your adversaries, it's better to find people you grew up with. After all, if anything happens, you can form an alliance, right?

"it is good."

The moment Jin Moyu uttered the word "good," it was as if the shackles in her heart had been unlocked, and the invisible constraints on her heart were instantly dispelled.

He was overthinking things. The matter wasn't even at its final moment, so how could he give up so easily?

He's been creating trouble for himself these days.

After figuring it out, Jin Moyu was even more enthusiastic than Gong Hanmo: "Shall we set off now?"

Seeing Jin Moyu's reaction, Gong Hanmo rolled his eyes at him before saying, "Of course, I wonder how long Sister Li and the others will be staying at the estate in the outskirts of the capital? If we go early, we can spend some time with Sister Li in the outskirts of the capital. And if it's convenient, it would be even better if we could stay at Sister Li's estate."

Of course, if that's not possible, then they can only stay at their own estate.

Since the hot springs were discovered at the foot of that mountain on the outskirts of Kyoto, many officials and wealthy families in Kyoto have built hot spring resorts there, so the two of them were not worried about not having a place to stay when they went there.

As they talked, the two began instructing their men to prepare the carriage; they were heading to the estate.

Yue Li, who had already led everyone into the valley, had no way of knowing about the things that happened in Kyoto because of Yue Li.

Release Chuanbai, whom they had brought in for the last time, and lead him through the cave, which was now brightly lit by luminous pearls, into the valley. Let him stand there in a daze, looking at everything in front of him, his expression extremely rich.

This is not the first one.

From the first time Qingyun and Huanyun were brought in, the two of them looked like this. It took them a while to process it before they came to their senses. Then, suppressing their excitement, they looked at their master who stood there calmly and composedly.

I finally realized where my masters went yesterday!

No wonder, no wonder our master wasn't afraid of the dangers in the forest at all! So that's how they got in!

Seeing Qingyun and the others finally come to their senses, Jin Chenyuan pointed to the things laid out on the grass beside him and said, "You saw the fork in the road when we came in, right? There are several caves on the other side of the fork. Go and move everything out of the caves, and then tidy up what needs to be tidied up."

Following their master's gaze, they were surprised to find that everything that had been moved into their master's courtyard that morning had appeared in the valley.

How is this going?

The same question arose in their minds at the same time.

Looking at their composed masters, recalling their earlier ordeal, and then at the princess who had stepped aside as if observing something, they instantly convinced themselves.

The princess has the ability to fly and disappear into the earth, so what difficulty is there in moving things from the manor here?

"Alright, stop standing there. I didn't bring you here to just stand around in a daze." Seeing Qingyun and the others still standing there in a daze, Jin Chenyuan frowned and spoke.

"Yes, Master, we'll go right away." Seeing their master's impatient expression, they immediately replied.

Tian Dong and the others turned their attention to Shao Qi on the other side, wondering whether they should go with Qing Yun and the others to tidy up the cave.

"You should all come along," Shao Qi said, waving his hand.

"Yes, Your Highness." Tian Dong and the others bowed and followed.

At this moment, Yue Li also came over after looking at the spiritual plants she had planted yesterday.

"Has everything been arranged?"

"Everything's arranged, Yue, so what do we do now?" Shao Qi stepped forward, took Yue Li's hand, pulled her into his arms, and rubbed his forehead against hers.
