Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 109: Missing an opportunity.

Wu Rou's pupils shrank, but she still smiled and said:
"Baolin, you are pregnant now. Princess Jinyang died of illness. If you want her things, it may not be good for the child."

After hearing this, Xia Baolin suddenly raised his head in fright, his face turned pale, his eyes flashed, he lowered his head and said nothing again.

Wu Rou signaled Sanchun to hand the gift to Xia Baolin's maid.

Then he smiled slightly and said:
"I really envy Baolin for his good fortune. He actually has an heir. From now on, whether he is a princess or a prince, he will have everything settled for the rest of his life."

Xia Baolin obviously disapproved and sneered at her:

"Is this how ambitious Wu Cai people are?"

Wu Rou sneered in her heart, but said embarrassedly:
"Don't women only have this ambition? What else can they do?"

Xia Baolin raised his chin and said disdainfully:
"of course……"

As she spoke, she glanced at the person behind Wu Rou and said:
"You go out!"

Sanchun frowned in displeasure when he heard that she was so rude and that a Baolin ordered a fifth-grade talented person to serve as a maid.

Wu Rou tilted her head and said softly:
"You go out first."

Miharu then turned around and went out obediently.

They were the only two left in the palace.

Xia Baolin said:
"Don't you want to be a queen? Don't you want to be a queen mother?"

Wu Rou lowered his head slightly and said in a disappointed tone:
"What's the use of thinking about it? I don't have this fate anymore, unlike Baolin, who has such good luck, as if he is favored by God."

Xia Baolin curled his lips and said dissatisfied:
"What good life can I have? I have a low background. If I am like a martial artist and have a hero as Aye, then I can't just be Baolin now."

As she spoke, she held her belly, which was not protruding, in dissatisfaction, and said with resentment:
"Baolin, sixth grade... she is just a higher-ranking female official. Fengyu from the Shangyi Bureau and Shangshi Bureau can be equal to me. Now His Majesty ignores me because of the Crown Prince. I will never be able to do anything in this life. ”

She changed the subject, looked at Wu Rou's eyes gleaming, and said;
"But you are different. Your life is better than mine, you just need a chance."

Wu Rou's beautiful eyebrows turned into crescent moons when she smiled, she covered her mouth with her shawl and said:

"Paulin is really good at joking... If I had the chance, I would have had it long ago. Why wait until now?"

As she spoke, her eyes flashed, and she turned to ask seriously:
"Speaking of this, I have a question to ask Baolin. How did you... make His Majesty so fascinated by you? This is something that the whole Taiji Palace wants to know."

When Xia Baolin heard this, he looked at Wu Rou with a meaningful look and said:

"How can you not know this? You are a person who has been given a title by His Majesty, and you are still called 'Mei'."

Wu Rou twitched the corner of her mouth in embarrassment and said sheepishly:
"To be honest with Xia Baolin, there is some hidden meaning in this title. It is really not what outsiders think. Otherwise, I would not have had the opportunity to sleep with him for so many years."

Hearing this, Xia Baolin's eyes flashed with surprise, and then turned into inquiry.

Wu Rou felt that Xia Baolin was playing tricks on her, but she didn't know what the purpose was.

She said to herself, what a coincidence, I want to use you, you want to use me.The two of us met and went together.

At this time, Xia Baolin lowered his eyes, pulled on his shawl a little nervously, and said:
"Actually, it's nothing... No matter how wise and powerful your Majesty is, he is still a human being. He is a man, and there is no human being who is not greedy for pleasure. The people in the harem probably really regard your Majesty as a saint. They feel that he has been working hard for so many years, but he is not A good womanizer must not like pleasure."

Xia Baolin smiled contemptuously, leaned slightly closer to Wu Rou, and whispered:

"I tell you, there are no saints in this world. This is especially true when a person feels that his time is numbered.

He will indulge.

He will think about what he wants most in his life and what he regrets most. He will think about how he can spend more time to make up for all the things he has lost and never experienced.

At this point, an emperor is more urgent than an ordinary person.They enjoy the greatest power and can satisfy all their desires, and they are even more reluctant to die..."

Xia Baolin looked at the void and sighed with pride:
"That's why so many emperors want to pursue immortality..."

Wu Rou listened carefully and had to say that what she said made sense, but:
"But what does this have to do with His Majesty doting on you? Your Majesty seems...not to want to gain immortality, otherwise he should go find those who practice Taoism."

Xia Baolin said with a smile:

"Of course your Majesty doesn't believe in the method of immortality, so he indulged himself... In the first half of his life, he fought on the battlefield and suffered hardships, and in the second half of his life, he was tired of government affairs. He also arranged a group of people in the harem of courtiers to look for him. Stubble, listen to others' lessons.

He is a wise king, which means that his time for free enjoyment is extremely limited.He is clearly holding the Babel Hammer in his hand, but he is as careful as an embroidery needle. Do you think he is happy? "

Wu Rou shook her head, she had never thought about this.

But after hearing what Xia Baolin said, she felt... His Majesty, the emperor, was a bit pitiful...

"So..." Xia Baolin cast a soft wink, holding the shawl in hand, covering half of his face, and said charmingly, "I just cooperated with His Majesty and fulfilled his indulgent wish. .

Who in this harem dares?Everyone has been tamed by His Majesty, and is as graceful and noble as Concubine Wei, as knowledgeable and dignified as a Bodhisattva. Who can be as courageous as me? "

Wu Rou sighed and said with a sincere smile:
"That's true. They all say I'm brave, but I never dare to think so. Xia Baolin is more courageous."

When Xia Baolin heard this, he held the table in the middle, leaned forward to her again, almost touching Wu Rou's ear, and whispered:

"It's not too late for you to be bold now."

Wu Rou's eyes swayed, observing her eyes and expressions from left to right, and asked:
"what does it mean?"

However, Xia Baolin withdrew, sat back, looked at Wu Rou's figure and appearance, and said:
"However, you have been with His Majesty for so many years, and he has never had any thoughts about you, which shows that your temper or appearance really do not please him."

She showed that meaningful and explicit expression again, and said with a smile:
"But... the prince seems to like you very much."

Wu Rou's heart "thumped", her pupils shrank, she tried her best to hold down her racing heart, and said with a calm smile:
"Hey... Baolin also believed this? I'm not that stupid. If this really happens, I will die."

Xia Baolin covered his mouth and chuckled, saying:

"You're still hiding it. You can't hide it when you like someone, not to mention there are so many people watching you. Even if you don't have that intention, the prince is so young and vigorous... He looks at everyone calmly. It’s just your eyes that always avoid you, haven’t you noticed?”

Wu Rou's heart started to beat wildly uncontrollably, and the sadness in her heart gradually spread into a bitter taste, pouring into her heart like sea water.

She felt very uncomfortable, even her eyebrows were filled with bitterness, and even her forced disguise no longer worked.
