C146 Do You Love Someone All Your Life
Lee Wanning's hand trembled and she nearly threw the pen in her hand down. Before she could react, she heard a voice from the door, "Is Princess Liuli inside?"
Lee Wanning glanced at Xiu Er before walking out slowly.
It was a mama who was following beside Empress.
On her hands was a set of clothing that had been prepared already, "Empress prepared these for Princess Liuli. Today, an important guest has arrived at the palace. Princess, please prepare and receive the guest outside."
It seems that the Emperor agreed to Princess Changle's suggestion.
Lee Wanning shook her hands, then she calmly said, "Alright, please wait for a moment, mama."
Lee Wanning asked Xiu Er to bring the clothes over and she went to the back of the screen to change into them.
Lee Wanning's skin was white, and the most suitable outfit was a bright red dress that would make her skin look as delicate and attractive as a rosy white. But in the palace, red was a taboo because it was too bright and it would make people want to snatch it away from its owner.
What the Queen had prepared for Lee Wanning was a peach-red colour. That gentle color, coupled with Lee Wanning's fair skin, made her look like a peach flower in spring.
After Lee Wanning changed her clothes, the nanny put on makeup and combed her hair.
Lee Wanning originally wanted to play some tricks on her face, but she didn't give herself any chance at all. Lee Wanning thought for a moment, she knew that this Xiliang was the only great nation on this continent that could match up to Yingjia, so why were they protecting Wusun like this?
Perhaps it was because it was similar to the relationship between the Huns and Yingjia.
But it was different, because the majority of the Huns were bold and unscrupulous. They wanted to enter the Central Plains only because the frontier was too cold to survive.
As for Wusun?
Lee Wanning felt that the Xiliang was like nurturing a tiger, and even though it was peaceful right now, with Princess Changle's big heart, if the emperor really allowed her to ascend to the throne, would she still be willing to accept such a small matter?
While Lee Wanning was thinking about this, the nanny had already helped him dress up.
Lee Wanning had been ugly when she first came to this world. Now, after a few years, she had grown quite a bit, and not only had her figure become more exquisite, her facial features had also slowly grown. Even if the person reflected in the bronze mirror wasn't a beauty that could topple nations, it could still be considered a national beauty.
Lee Wanning didn't spare him another glance as she followed the mama forward.
The Crown Prince of Xiliang, Shangguan Jinghua, was already waiting for him, but he saw that he was wearing a silver long robe with a gold crown on his head. His black hair was tied up, and when he saw Lee Wanning walk over, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Lee Wanning knelt down to pay her respects to the emperor.
The emperor immediately got someone to bestow him a seat, right beside Shangguan Jinghua.
The intention of the Emperor to do so was quite obvious.
Lee Wanning remained calm and collected.
The other two people who were below the stage were Princess Changle and the only prince of Wusun, Zong Yaohui. The former had a confident smile on his face but the latter looked like he didn't look too good.
Just as Lee Wanning was carefully observing the scene in front of her, she heard someone say, "Princess Liuli really lives up to her reputation."
As the ruler of a country, Shangguan Jinghua's appearance was naturally pretty. His facial features were handsome and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.
Unfortunately, Lee Wanning had never been interested in such a beauty.
She said, "Prince is flattering me."
Shangguan Jinghua only smiled. Princess Changle, who was in front, was full of smiles when she saw this scene.
Actually, she had already thought about this before she brought Lee Wanning back. She really liked Lee Wanning a lot, and her older sister really treated her well.
However, such a thing was nothing compared to the grand cause of a thousand years.
She had already ordered someone to give Lee Wanning medicine. As long as she could drink for two months, she would be able to recover her young girl's figure. The only bad thing about her was that she might lose her virginity for the rest of her life.
But it didn't matter. He had to pay a price to get anything, didn't it?
Princess Changle picked up the wine cup in front of her and took a sip.
Lee Wanning looked at Shangguan Jinghua in front of her. She originally wanted to make him hate her, but she didn't think that no matter what she said, he would just chuckle. It was as if he had fallen in love with her at first sight.
This made Lee Wanning feel that it was all a lie.
Just as Lee Wanning was thinking this, Princess Changle said from the front, "The difficult Prince came to my Wusun, and today is a beautiful day. Our Princess Liuli is very good at singing and dancing, how about you let her perform a song to cheer Prince up?"
With that, Princess Changle's eyes turned towards Lee Wanning.
Lee Wanning was smiling, but in her heart, she scolded Shangguan Jinghua several times. She still wanted him to seduce Shangguan Jinghua, right?
Lee Wanning thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, but I need some time to prepare. I'll have to invite Mother Royal Father and Prince to wait for a while."
Shangguan Jinghua naturally nodded in agreement.
Just like that, Lee Wanning brought Xiu Er out. When she noticed Lee Wanning heading in another direction, Xiu Er's face immediately turned white. "Princess, what are you doing?"
"If I don't leave now, do I really have to wait for them to marry me out?" As Lee Wanning spoke, she was already inside her own palace. She needed to go in and retrieve two things, but before she could enter, she heard a voice from behind her, "Aa Ning, what are you doing?"
When she heard this voice, Lee Wanning's body froze. There was only one person in this palace who would call her that.
She abruptly turned her head, only to see that Princess Changle was looking at her.
At this moment, Ann Tan was in his own bedroom with a pile of reports in front of him.
It had been more than a month since the new emperor ascended the throne. However, he did not have a queen, and the imperial harem was empty. It was not as if there were no ministers who had asked the emperor to hold a selection for the beautiful ladies, but Ann Tan had rejected all of them.
It was not that Ann Tan didn't want them to, but because his mother had been plotted against by Royal Father because he had many concubines and those people had nothing to do in the harem to kill each other.
It was precisely because of this that Ann Tan had said before that in this lifetime, there would only be one person.
Susu had become his personal maid after he ascended the throne.
Just as Ann Tan thought this, he saw Susu walk over. In her hands, there was a tray.
There were pastries on it.
Ann Tan naturally knew what she was thinking, but she didn't want to point it out, because one thing she had to admit was that she was a very good outlet.
After he ascended the throne, he conferred the title of empress as the empress dowager, while Consort Lan was Grand Consort. Consort Hui had already been killed due to her son's rebellion, while Consort Hua had disappeared without a trace.
Ann Tan knew that this Consort Hua's identity was not simple. She must have planted quite a few people in the palace over the years. Therefore, after Consort Hua went missing, Ann Tan had killed all the palace maids that he had contacted her with.
They would rather kill by mistake than let it go.
When Susu fed the pastries into his mouth, Ann Tan pulled her hand and pulled her down. Susu was pressed down by him.
Susu's voice was filled with delicate panting. That voice made Ann Tan's actions become even more rough. When her bare hands were about to reach her lips, Ann Tan dodged them.
After that, Ann Tan tidied up his clothes, while Susu was knocked down to the ground, her entire body shaking uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty …"
Just when Ann Tan was about to walk past her, Susu said.
Ann Tan turned around and looked at her.
Sue said, "When did the emperor … Can you give me a name? "
She had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but she hadn't dared to.
Earlier on, Ann Tan didn't want her anymore, and after he ascended the throne, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore, so he drugged his tea. That night, Susu finally got what she wanted, but she didn't expect Ann Tan to treat her like Lee Wanning.
From the time he called her name, Susu also knew that he really liked the Lady Boss of Beauty Ning. She only found out in these two days that the Lady Boss of Beauty Ning was actually Zhou Qu's wife …
Ann Tan didn't know what Susu was thinking. He looked at her and said, "What, do you want to be a concubine or a queen?"
Susu's face was filled with endless joy. She tried her best to control her emotions and slowly got up from the ground. She knelt in front of Ann Tan and said, "We'll do as you say!"
Ann Tan grabbed her chin and said, "With just you? You think you are worthy?! "
Ann Tan's words caused Susu's expression to change. When Ann Tan shook her off and was about to leave, Susu said, "If General Zhou finds out that the one whom the emperor wants to marry is his wife, what does the emperor think of him?"
The current Zhou Qu was no longer the Zhou Qu of the past, he was now the Northern General. In his hands, there was the strongest army in the entire Yingjia.
If he knew that the person the Emperor wanted to seize was his own wife …
Ann Tan suddenly turned around.
