Ganlin Palace.
When Liang Zhen entered the door, the officials of the Inner Court Division were unrolling the scrolls of beauties for Zhu Yunxuan to have a look at.
The selection of concubines after the establishment of the Dayan Dynasty is very important to family background. It has always been to select daughters of the right age from nobles and officials' families, and then go through layers of selection. Finally, the empress dowager and the emperor personally decide the concubine candidates, and the rest will be good. It will be given to the princes, grandsons and all the clan princes. Although it is still possible to have a male concubine, but any family with some background would not want their son to give birth to children, so the selection in the palace does not involve men. Of course, if the emperor takes a fancy to someone Sir, if you intend to enter the harem, that's another story.
Now there is no empress dowager in the palace, and Zhu Yunxuan's decision to become an empress is entirely up to Zhu Yunxuan. These internal officials of the inner court figured out his preferences and sent him more than 300 pictures of beauties. A hundred people, and then these people will be sent to him for him to choose carefully.
After only reading more than ten volumes, Zhu Yunxuan was a little tired. After thinking about it, he ordered: "Go and invite Shu and the eldest princess to come to the palace, and ask her to help me check it out."
"Since you don't like it, why do you have to be so reluctant? Your Majesty's own queen doesn't even want to look at it and asks someone else to check it. What's the point of that?"
Zhu Yunxuan turned around, seeing Liang Zhen approaching, she was slightly stunned for a moment, Liang Zhen hadn't been to Ganlin Palace privately for a long time, Zhu Yunxuan almost forgot that he was the only one who dared to break in like this Come, talk nonsense in this palace of sweet rain.
Telling people to put away the scrolls, Zhu Yunxuan looked at Liang Zhen warily: "King Zhao is here, what's the matter?"
Liang Zhen caught a glimpse of a confiscated picture that was missed on the royal case, walked over to open it and looked at it casually, and gave a 'tsk': "This little girl is only fourteen years old, and she looks tender and fresh. Can you do it?"
Zhu Yunxuan frowned, and was about to say something, when the eunuch of the Inner Court Department went and came back, made an embarrassing apology and took away the missing scroll.
Liang Zhen smiled again: "I dare to say, it's definitely not that they forgot to take the picture just now, but it was left on purpose. I'm afraid it's taking advantage of others, and I want His Majesty to look at it more."
"So what?" To be honest, Zhu Yunxuan didn't care about such trivial matters, and he still understood the truth that when the water was clear, there would be no fish.
"No, does your Majesty think that little girl is pretty?"
Zhu Yunxuan looked away, and said indifferently: "It's not the appearance that matters when choosing a concubine after standing up."
"Then what does His Majesty care about?" Liang Zhen raised the corners of his lips, "Temperature, family background, or... good fertility?"
"Is it related to King Zhao?"
Liang Zhen's eyes darkened, the smile in his eyes deepened, and he changed the subject: "I stay here today."
Zhu Yunxuan's expression turned cold in an instant, Liang Zhen took a step forward, stretched out his hand to wrap around his waist, and slowly rubbed his other hand on his cheek, whispering softly: "Your Majesty, after so long, you don't want my minister at all. Is it? I miss you day and night."
Zhu Yunxuan suppressed his anger and didn't answer, Liang Zhen posted it up and pressed a light kiss on the corner of his lips: "I'll settle the matter with His Majesty at night."
After nightfall, they were the only ones left in the dormitory. Zhu Yunxuan sat silently beside the bed, her shoulders stretched, her tightly clenched hands trembling slightly.
Liang Zhen sat down next to him, took his hand and gently separated his fingers, clasped them together with his own, and sighed: "Is Your Majesty so afraid of ministers?"
"...why do you still come?" Zhu Yunxuan's hoarse voice contained a hint of choking, "When will you let me go?"
Liang Zhen raised his hand, pinched his chin, forced him to turn his head, approached him, and kissed his lips.
Zhu Yunxuan closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttered, and passively endured the other party's lingering kiss.
Liang Zhen murmured between lips and tongue: "I won't let it go for the rest of my life."
Pressed to enter from behind, Zhu Yunxuan's tense body shrank, clenched his teeth and refused to make a sound, Liang Zhen leaned down, kissed his slightly dry lips all the way along his spine, and then stuck to his left waist The red plum in full bloom in the room moved inch by inch, feeling the slight trembling of the people under him.
Zhu Yunxuan's tightly closed eyes kept rolling down tears, and she didn't know whether it was pain or comfort.
As the night darkened, even the palace lanterns seemed to be much dimmer. The candlelight was miserable, reflecting the blurred figures intertwined behind the bed curtain.
Gao An brought in the hot water, and Liang Zhen hugged Zhu Yunxuan, gently wiped his sticky body, and finally told Gao An: "Bring a pot of hot tea over here, and you should go and rest, there is no one to wait for you here."
Gao An hesitantly glanced at Zhu Yunxuan who was buried in Liang Zhen's arms, unable to see his expression clearly. Seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he agreed and retreated.
The tea was delivered quickly, and Liang Zhen poured a cup and handed it to Zhu Yunxuan's lips: "Moisten your throat."
Zhu Yunxuan took a sip from his hand in a daze, Liang Zhen smiled, took something out of his sleeve, threw it into the cup, it melted in the water in an instant, and handed the cup to the cup again. In front of Zhu Yunxuan: "I've finished drinking."
Zhu Yunxuan frowned subconsciously: "What is that?"
Liang Zhen lowered his head, put his lips on the hair on top of his head and kissed him: "Naturally it's a good thing."
Zhu Yunxuan didn't believe it: "What the hell is it?"
"Doesn't Your Majesty want to prosper and prosper? This is a good thing that can help Your Majesty achieve his wish."
Zhu Yunxuan's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Liang Zhen in disbelief: "What did you say...?"
Liang Zhen smiled lightly: "Your Majesty must know birth control medicine?"
Zhu Yunxuan's lips trembled, and he ruthlessly pushed Liang Zhen who was hugging him away: "Don't even think about it! Even if I die, I will never get what you want!"
Liang Zhen disagreed and said: "Stop talking stupid things, what are you talking about?"
"If you insist on forcing me like this, I will die with you at the worst!" With red eyes, Zhu Yunxuan suddenly pulled out the dagger hidden in the dark compartment beside the bed, "I will kill you! I will definitely kill you!"
Liang Zhen's eyes fell on the sharp dagger blade that was glowing with cold light, and he paused: "Your Majesty is hiding this by the bedside, is it because you want to stab me to death when I'm not paying attention? Your Majesty thinks that this will achieve what you want." ?"
Zhu Yunxuan pressed the dagger to his chest. He would never be able to beat Liang Zhen alone, but he was not afraid of death: "I have no ability to kill you, but if you insist on doing this, I will die in front of you now! If you I think it’s okay to keep a corpse, so you can try it!”
Liang Zhen cast his eyes coldly, and quietly looked at Zhu Yunxuan who was extremely angry and filled with grief and indignation: "Does Your Majesty have to do this?"
"You forced me!"
"Doesn't Your Majesty want a child? Your Majesty wants to have a child too. Your Majesty will give me a child and take your Majesty's surname and become a prince..."
Zhu Yunxuan interrupted him angrily: "Don't even think about it! You know you and I are brothers, how can you..."
"Not a real brother," Liang Zhen said calmly, "I have nothing to do with the first emperor. My father is the second son of the Liang family, and my father... is his cousin. His surname is Xiao and his name is Junbo. I died in the on the battlefield of Nanyang."
Zhu Yunxuan didn't believe it, Liang Zhen shook his head: "My father was deliberately sent to Nanyang by the late emperor to die. The late emperor's own son had already jumped off the cliff with my father twenty years ago, and his body was smashed to pieces. The first emperor recognized the wrong person."
The tears in Zhu Yunxuan's eyes were faltering: "What does this have to do with me? What does all this have to do with me? Why do you want to seek revenge on someone? Why do you have to humiliate me like this?"
Liang Zhen frowned slightly: "I said it earlier, the person I want to take revenge on is never you, I didn't humiliate you, I just love you and want you..."
"But I don't want to!" Zhu Yunxuan said hoarsely, "You just say what you want! Why don't you ask me what I want?! Why do you force me again and again?! I said I don't want to! Don't! Why do you Just can't let me go?!"
Liang Zhen grabbed his wrist violently, and pulled him in front of him: "You are mine, don't even think about the harem or heirs! If you want to give birth, you can only give birth to me!"
Zhu Yunxuan opened his eyes wide, and the water kept gushing out: "I told you, don't think about it, unless I die..."
"If you are really dead, I will kill you immediately and completely destroy your country. Even if Marquis Dingyuan or others have the ability to lead troops to kill you, then the world will definitely be destroyed. This is your wish If you really don't care about the family's country, you will die!"
Zhu Yunxuan stared at him in astonishment: "How can you be so despicable..."
Liang Zhen sneered: "What kind of person am I, don't you already know?"
"How could you... how could you..."
"What I do depends on what you think. Your Majesty has to think clearly."
After a while, the dagger in Zhu Yunxuan's hand fell to the ground, and he closed his eyes in pain. He couldn't even die. What else could he do: "...you hate the first emperor, you hate him for persecuting your father and separating you from your father , but now you want to do the same thing again, what about the future? Do you want this child to hate you in the future?"
Liang Zhen said indifferently: "Let him go."
"You are clearly the same person as the first emperor. What qualifications do you have to say that you are pitiful? You are as contemptible as him!"
Liang Zhen narrowed his eyes lightly: "At least I won't say that I love you while marrying someone else. I said that as long as I want you, I just want you, and I can't change anyone else."
But I don't want this kind of love, and I can't bear it... Zhu Yunxuan just shook his head, tears streaming down his face, and couldn't say much more.
The teacup was handed to Zhu Yunxuan's lips again, and Liang Zhen coaxed him patiently: "Drink it, and think of a better place, Your Majesty will have a prince soon."
Pinch the back of his neck and slowly feed the tea into his mouth, seeing him swallowing every drop, Liang Zhen smiled again: "Good boy."
He stuck it up and kissed Zhu Yunxuan tenderly, and licked and kissed his soft lips repeatedly. Zhu Yunxuan opened his eyes in a daze, tears had flowed out, and the last light in his eyes was gone, leaving only the deepest emptiness and despair.
