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

Upon hearing Jin Chenyuan's words, Yue Li suddenly thought of the novels she had read in modern times. Her expression changed, and she looked at Jin Chenyuan seriously and asked, "You said you're already 32 and still not married. Is it because you have some unrequited love in your heart?"

Yue Li's words made Jin Chenyuan pause in wiping her mouth. He put the handkerchief on the table and pondered for a while, but still couldn't figure out what the white moonlight and cinnabar mole were.

So Jin Chenyuan asked with a puzzled look, "Li Bao, is it because you think I'm too old? And what are these 'white moonlight' and 'cinnabar mole'?"

"Uh!" Yue Li hesitated for a moment before replying, "32 years old is indeed not young. If it were someone else, their child would be old enough to run errands. You know, I'm only 16, and you're a whole twelve years older than me."

Ignoring Jin Chenyuan's darkened face after hearing her words, she was right about what she had said!

Thinking of Jin Chenyuan's last question, Yue Li organized her thoughts before saying, "This white moonlight and cinnabar mole are the woman you longed for but could not have, well, she has already married someone else and become a wife."

After finishing speaking, Yue Li asked with a serious expression, "Have you ever fallen for a girl, only to be unable to have her, and then constantly thinking about her?"

Seeing Yue Li looking at him with a serious expression, waiting for his answer, Jin Chenyuan's dark face couldn't stay dark anymore. He couldn't help but pull Yue Li into his arms and burst into laughter.

Yue Li: ……

Was what she said really that funny?

Youyun and Huanyun, who were guarding outside the door, heard their master's laughter from inside the room. They looked at each other with disbelief on their faces.

Their master was a strict and restrained man. His most common laughter was a polite, faint laugh. They had never heard their master laugh so loudly before.

At the same time, they were also very curious, wondering what the master and the princess were talking about in the room, and why the master was laughing so loudly.

Seeing Jin Chenyuan laughing incessantly, Yue Li, feeling hot, withdrew from his embrace and ignored him. Instead, she picked up her chopsticks again and began eating the food on the table, even though she wasn't full yet.

When Jin Chenyuan finally finished laughing, Yue Li also finished eating and put down her chopsticks.

"Bring a pot of hot tea," Jin Chenyuan called out.

"Yes." It was Youyun's voice from outside the door.

After instructing someone to serve tea, Jin Chenyuan picked up a new handkerchief and, while wiping the grease from Yue Li's lips, patiently explained with a smile, "What Li Bao just said is simply impossible. Not only is it impossible for someone of my status to allow such things to happen, but the laws of the court also stipulate polyandry. A woman must marry six husbands before the age of 25, and these six husbands are just the minimum. If a woman wants to marry more men, she can have children with her first six husbands, which is also allowed. If I really fall in love with someone, I will just marry him directly. Why would I be thinking about him?"

Jin Chenyuan's words made Yue Li suddenly realize the truth.

Yes!

The world she lives in now is one where there are more men than women, and women can get official support if they want to marry multiple husbands, and the authorities definitely think the more the better.

I was overthinking it; I was only thinking about the plots I read in novels before, and I forgot to consider the actual situation.

Although he didn't know why Yue Li asked that question, seeing her suddenly realize something, Jin Chenyuan knew that she had figured it out.

"Now, Li Bao, you'll finally agree to marry me, right?" Jin Chenyuan pressed on.

"Why are you in such a hurry? We just got together, didn't we?" Since we're already together, getting married is just a matter of time.

Jin Chenyuan poured Yue Li a cup of tea that You Yun had brought over and said, "Li Bao just said that I'm already 32 years old this year, how can I not be anxious?" What he didn't say was that with Yue Li's excellence, many people would pursue her sooner or later.

Although he couldn't stop Yue Li from finding a husband other than him, he had to cultivate a good relationship with her before she did.

"Then let me find a place to live. Once I've found a place and settled in, we'll get married," Yue Li said after thinking for a moment.

"Li Bao is going to marry me, why bother looking for a house? When we get married, half of my assets will go to Li Bao's name. Then Li Bao can find a house she likes among the properties under my name and decorate it at her leisure," Jin Chenyuan tempted.

Thinking about the laws of the Qian Yuan Dynasty, Yue Li considered it and felt that this method was indeed feasible.

Anyway, half of Jin Chenyuan's assets will end up in her name, so she can just choose a few courtyards she likes.

But then I remember that my current household registration still lists my gender as male.

Thinking of this, Yue Li moved her lips, but didn't know how to speak.

Originally, she was thinking of getting a male household registration first so that she could travel around, since getting a male household registration was very easy.

However, in this dynasty, it was not so easy to register a girl's household registration, because every family, whether in the prefecture, county, or state, had a clear record of every girl born.

And she is now clearly an extra.

If the authorities find out that there's an extra person like her, they will definitely investigate thoroughly.

She was thinking that having a male's household registration would make it easier for her to go out and about. As for the female's household registration?

Having spent a long time in the capital, I naturally know more. The saying "where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure" should also apply here. I'll figure out a way to pay more money to the government and get another woman's household registration.

But this incident happened so suddenly that she hadn't made any arrangements yet, and Jin Chenyuan insisted on marrying her, urging her to do so.

Then she remembered that when she went to Qingshan Village to register her household registration, she was followed by Jin Chenyuan's men.

Jin Chenyuan probably already knew what kind of household registration he had applied for.

Thinking of this, Yue Li asked directly, "I went out of the city yesterday to find a village to register my household. You should know what kind of household registration I applied for, right?"

Jin Chenyuan didn't expect Yue Li to change the topic so quickly. They were just talking about marriage, and now they're talking about household registration.

However, recalling Chuan Wu's report that Yue Li didn't seem surprised when she saw him last night, Jin Chenyuan knew that Yue Li must have already discovered the two people following behind her, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I know."

After answering, he asked with a puzzled look, "I just don't know why Li Bao wrote her household registration as male."

If Yue Li hadn't brought up the topic, he would have simply had his subordinates investigate. But since Yue Li happened to mention it, he decided to ask the person involved directly.

Yue Li did not tell Jin Chenyuan about the past; she simply said, "I do not have a mother's household registration."

Therefore, if you want to marry her, you must first get her mother's household registration processed.
