After becoming the villain

Chapter 146 The reason why your royal father was able to become emperor was simply because my royal father didn't want to be.

People back down.

Yan Wulu and Zhao Lingrui were the only two people left in the hall.

There is a breeze blowing.

The red gauze curtain floated slightly.

"Yan Wulu, I'm actually very curious about what charm you have. It will make my father, the Nine Emperor Brothers, who love me the most, and even Sister Qin Jing, whom I just met, protect you and help you like this. "

"your Highness……"

Yan Wulu slightly cupped his hands, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer the other party's words.

Speaking of which, he is really feeling a bit troublesome now.

Presumably, the old emperor had thought of this before and deliberately left the decision-making power of the engagement time in the hands of Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui.

He expected that his daughter would definitely be resentful of Yan Wulu because of Lan Yue Tower, so he would deliberately delay it.

Yan Wulu raised his head slightly, through the red gauze curtain, he seemed to be able to vaguely see that the princess seemed to be trembling with anger!

And on the other side of the curtain...

Zhao Lingrui's face turned red, and her eyes were filled with excitement, "...but I should know now."

Her shoulders seemed to be shaking as she spoke.

"Yan Wulu, how many wives and concubines do you have?"

"No Lu has two side wives, no concubines."

When Zhao Lingrui heard this, his face changed slightly and he hesitated.

After a long time, she murmured to herself: "Two, actually it's not that many."

If Qin Jing were here, she would definitely be shocked by Zhao Lingrui's words at this moment.

Isn't her Royal Highness the Princess known as a "noble person" (1)? !
Regarding the candidate for his partner, Zhao Lingrui once claimed to Qin Jing that he must have only one wife.

And now...

...Sure enough, the standards will vary from person to person.

"I listen to your words. Do you want to get engaged and married to me as soon as possible?"

"Back to the princess, yes."

"Okay, you can divorce your other two wives first, and then promise not to marry other wives and be loyal to me, and we will promise you. Even if we get engaged tomorrow, it won't be a problem."

"Princess, this..."

"This shouldn't be a problem, right?" Zhao Lingrui answered directly.

She paused slightly and continued——

"You saw my appearance last time. Isn't it comparable to your other two wives?"

"...Or are you just like other men, never satisfied with beauty?"

"My two side wives are mediocre in appearance, so they are naturally inferior to you, Your Royal Highness, who is noble and magnificent."

Yan Wulu said humbly, and then changed the topic, "...But, as the ancients said, 'A wife of chaff will not go to court.' Wulu, it is impossible for Wulu to abandon the woman who is determined to follow him throughout his life just because of your majesty's marriage proposal."

Yan Wulu slightly raised his head to observe the beautiful figure behind the red gauze curtain, and felt that the other party was probably furious now and suppressing his anger.

And behind the red gauze curtain...

Zhao Lingrui's face remained blushing, but she thought to herself—"This prince of Zhenbei is quite affectionate, unlike the kind of person in opera who abandons his wife and children for the sake of prosperity and wealth."

Zhao Lingrui pretended to cough a few times and calmed down.

She looked at Yan Wulu, who was still standing with his hands folded, her eyebrows slightly curved, and she felt more and more satisfied in her heart, but she still said coldly -

"Yan Wulu, do you know that you are talking to the princess of Daqian?"

"...My father is the most noble being in the world and the emperor of Daqian!"

"...Disobedience to me will lead to death."

His Highness seemed to suddenly become silent.

Zhao Lingrui began to be a little curious, how would the other party make his final decision?

Will he decide to divorce his wife to suit himself?
Or risk being guilty of disrespect and stick to your principles?
Seeing that Yan Wulu had not spoken for a long time, Zhao Lingrui felt playful for a moment and could not help but continue to exert pressure -

"So, Your Highness, have you decided how to treat your two extra wives?"

"Your Highness, there is one thing that you seem to have not figured out yet."

Yan Wulu suddenly put down his saluting hands and stood up straight.

He looked at the beautiful figure behind the red gauze curtain, with a dark look in his eyes, and his whole person's aura became more aggressive and oppressive, completely different from the previous gentleness and humility.

Zhao Lingrui was stunned on the main seat...

At that moment, her heart seemed to be hit by the other person's light. She just felt that this person was the only dream lover she wanted!
... She is determined to make a decision about Yan Wulu!

However, Zhao Lingrui's thoughts had just been settled when Yan Wulu's voice echoed in the palace again.

"Your Highness Princess, you need to know..."

Yan Wulu said, picking up a glass of wine on the table and drinking it in one gulp.

He wiped his mouth, emboldened by the wine, and continued: "The reason why your father was able to become the emperor is just because my father didn't want to be. (2)"

"... In this vast northern world, which half of the country was not conquered by my father?"

"... Which of the three Central Plains dynasties that threatened Daqian back then was not destroyed by my father?"

Yan Wulu's words echoed in the palace for a long time.

For a moment, everything seemed to be completely silent.

Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui opened her eyes slightly. Even if she acted as domineeringly as she did, she would never have imagined that Yan Wulu would actually dare to say such rebellious words.

For a moment, silence enveloped the air in the palace.

Yan Wulu said no more.

He arched his hands slightly, then turned and left without stopping at all.

He even turned his back directly to the throne.

It can be said that he has no law and no law.

"and many more!"

Zhao Lingrui suddenly stood up from her seat and called out to Yan Wulu.

Yan Wulu did not turn around, but still stopped and said directly: "Your Highness, are you going to imprison or kill Wulu here?"

"Yan Wulu, you seem to have a lot of opinions on my Daqian royal family."

Yan Wulu snorted lightly and did not respond.

"No one has ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of this princess. Yan Wulu, you are a very special man."

Zhao Lingrui was talking to herself, and she suddenly said -

"...Don't you want to get engaged to me earlier? I can promise you, and I can even tolerate your other two wives."

When Yan Wulu heard this, things turned around and he lived up to his performance.

Yan Wulu still did not turn around, but simply asked -

"Then, Princess, what are you thinking about?"

"I want to...teach you."

When Yan Wulu heard this, he was shocked - this majestic princess actually likes to play with this kind of fun? !

"...You are dissatisfied with Daqian. I want to train and guide you so that you can understand the great and unpredictable grace of my Zhao family's Daqian! Then, you will be sincerely convinced."

Yan Wulu let out a long breath in his heart, it turned out that it was this training.

...There seems to be some inexplicable disappointment in my heart.

"Okay." Yan Wulu turned around slowly, "...I promise you, Your Highness the Princess."

"Okay. However, I still have a question that I need you to answer..."

After Zhao Lingrui finished speaking, he took a few steps forward, lifted the red gauze curtain with one hand, and came to the hall...

Lanyue Building was too chaotic at the beginning, Zhao Lingrui covered her face, and was surrounded by many female guards all the time. It was also at this moment that Yan Wulu really saw the face of this Princess Taiping——

Her skin is as good as snow, her face is like jade, her pupils are charming, and she has a pair of passionate and touching peach blossom eyes.

With a strange fragrance on his body, he captivated the country and the city.

As soon as she appeared and came closer, it seemed as if a light and rich fragrance hit her, as if to capture her soul.

Unlike Zhang Chunhua and Jiang Yueling, who like to be clean and wash themselves frequently, Zhao Lingrui really has a strange fragrance. ...It seems like a fragrance emanating from the body and soul.

Zhao Lingrui ignored palace etiquette.

She came directly to Yan Wulu, tugged at the folded collar of her son's python robe with one hand, and said casually -

"Yan Wulu, why are you in a hurry to marry me? Is it because you have been thinking about me since you last saw me?"

Yan Wulu was momentarily stunned by Zhao Lingrui's words.

He slightly arched his hands, extremely polite, and even felt a little restrained...

"Don't be afraid of overstepping your bounds." Zhao Lingrui whispered in front of him, "... Just answer, am I good-looking?"

"Your Highness, your beauty is known to the world. If you could have been born a few years earlier, you would definitely be at the top of the list of beauties in the Yin Yuan Secret Book."

"Why, wouldn't it be okay to be born a few years later?"

"Of course not. The Yin Yuan Secret Book only changes its ranking once every ten years. This year is the year of the ranking change. Princess, you will definitely come out on top."

Princess Taiping was very satisfied with Yan Wulu's answer.

She even felt a little strange why when the person in front of her disobeyed her, she felt that he was special and attractive.

And when the person in front of her follows her will, she will also feel that he is particularly humble and pleasing to the eye.

No matter what, the more I watch it, the more I like it.

Zhao Lingrui couldn't figure out why.

Maybe as sister Qin Jing said, she fell in love with him?
"love at first sight?"

Zhao Lingrui said to herself, "...I never expected that such a rare and strange thing would actually happen to me."

……

Inside the palace.

There is a long and far-reaching wide corridor, and the walls on both sides are as high as a hundred feet.

Prince Yu's carriage and Yan's carriage drove away slowly, one behind the other.

Yan Wulu was in Yan Mansion's carriage, thinking about Princess Taiping's last few words at that time.

The other party has promised to complete the engagement ceremony ahead of schedule.

Yan Wulu chuckled. It seems that the "favorability detector" given to me by the system is indeed very useful.

After entering the palace, he used this on Zhao Lingrui in the Curtain Palace, and the result was - positive seventy, "true love".

This is almost on the same level as Minami Kawagoe.

As for Minami Kawagoe, I had the grace to save his life and teach him...

This Princess Taiping surprised Yan Wulu.

My own man, Zhang Chunhua, beat her severely in Lanyue Tower!

He originally just wanted to test it to see how negative the favorability score was...

Yan Wulu even thought at first that the system text was unreliable and that the "favorability detector" was not repaired at all?

but……

Finally, Yan Wulu guessed that the other party might have some masochistic tendencies?

Or maybe she was really pampered and had never met anyone who disobeyed her wishes.

That's why Yan Wulu took the wrong approach and said such shocking words when he was forced to do so.

Fortunately, the final result was good.

Otherwise, Yan Wulu would not know how to proceed with the engagement ceremony in advance when the old emperor deliberately blocked it.

Yan Wulu kept thinking in his mind...

However, Prince Yu's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage——

"Your Highness, Xiao Wang, have I come in?"

Yan Wulu was stunned when he heard this...

Ok?
How does it feel weird.

Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui then opened the curtain and entered, sitting directly on the red brocade cotton ladder chair on the side of the carriage.

"Your Highness Prince Yu, do you have anything important to discuss with us?" Yan Wulu asked.

Indeed, as the Ninth Prince and Prince Yu, Zhao Lingrui, how could he condescend to personally come to Yan Wulu's carriage and sit on the side step chair.

Zhao Lingrui smiled warmly, and coupled with his cold temperament, for a moment he seemed like an extremely virtuous gentleman and a wise king.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this, can't Xiao Wang and I just deepen our relationship with you alone?"

"Uh……"

Yan Wulu was a little dazed, "Prince Yu, it's better to speak directly if you have something to say. If it's too subtle, Wulu might not understand."

"Hahaha." Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui laughed lightly, "Okay. The Eighteenth Sister has agreed to your request. Although I haven't been of much help to you, Xiao Wang, but... Your Majesty, do you still remember the gift you promised me? ?”

"City Defense Department?"

"Exactly."

"So that's it." Yan Wulu chuckled upon hearing this, "...Your Highness King Yu, please rest assured that King Jin is our common enemy, and the City Defense Department will soon be like the Jinyi Department... changing hands. "

Upon hearing this, Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui gradually raised the corners of his mouth, but still maintained a slight coldness, and asked——

"I don't know, what is the prince's plan?"

"...The City Defense Department is no better than the Jinyi Department. It has been in the hands of Zhao Lingcheng personally for more than ten years. It is deeply entrenched and difficult to shake. Even I, the little king, can't think of any specific solution for a while."

"His Royal Highness King Yu will wait and see."

Yan Wulu responded with a chuckle.

After hearing this, King Yu Zhao Lingrui also wisely stopped asking further questions.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Regarding the 'Jinling Poetry Festival' organized by Xiao Wang, it has been confirmed that it will start in half a month. I wonder if you, Prince, can appreciate it?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Yu has invited me many times. If I don't go, I will be a bit ungrateful."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui chuckled when he heard this, "...If that's the case, then the little king is waiting for you to shine at the poetry festival!"

Currently available information——

(1), noble people.The people of Daqian are open and open, and a hundred schools of thought contend.There were once many opinions on the topic between the sexes.There is one type of Confucian etiquette advocated by Jixia Academy, but there are also many that are more open, return to nature, and follow one's heart.Among them, there is a kind of person who advocates that men and women should keep themselves clean and keep themselves as pure as jade until they meet one-on-one true love. They are called "noble people".In Jinling, a considerable number of young men and women agree with such noble behavior.

(2), these words are derived from Guo Nuan, the son of Guo Ziyi, a famous general in the Mid-Tang Dynasty who quelled the "Anshi Rebellion". After Guo Nuan had a dispute with his wife, Princess Shengping, he once said similar shocking words.Later, Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty said, "Don't be stupid, don't be deaf, don't be a great man."
