She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

Chapter 17
"engagement?"

Hearing this, Ye Xuwan's eyes lit up, and then she asked: "Then... can the young lady from General Lin's family be selected?"

"Of course I am."

After dividing the scrolls, the steward smoothed his clothes and said with a solemn expression, "However, the selection of the prince is not something that I and other servants can discuss. Please send the scrolls as quickly as possible without wasting time."

"Yes, yes, the slave will go now."

engagement?Doesn't that mean the official match is about to appear?

Ye Xuwan walked on the way to the prince's palace holding the scroll, recalling the content of the original work in her mind.

In the original work, Mo Yunzheng was arranged by the emperor to be engaged to Lin Fengming, the legitimate daughter of the Lin family.

Therefore, this also became Mo Yunzheng's official wife in the original work.

Although it was an official match, the marriage contract was not worthy of the name, and the two did not have any feelings after getting married.

On the contrary, Mo Yunzheng also used Lin Fengming's leverage to indirectly control the Lin family's military power until he finally took it into his own hands.

In the original work, General Lin was indirectly killed due to an accident caused by Mo Yunzheng, and Lin's mother became depressed after learning about the incident, and eventually hanged herself.

Under the royal power, there are no words of emotion.

After learning about this, Lin Fengming secretly assassinated Mo Yunzheng to no avail and was imprisoned in the mansion.

Although she is well-served and well-fed every day, the canary in the cage will not live long after all.

In the end, Lin Fengming was forced to die in depression.

When he died, he was only 25 years old.

"Hey... such a good girl, the author is simply inhumane, writing her so miserable..."

When Ye Xuwan thought of Lin Fengming's tragic ending, she couldn't help but curse the author secretly.

A pair of hands that are so white and tender that they don't look like eunuchs are making blades. They keep making gestures in the air, mentally simulating the action of cutting the author to vent his anger.

As a result, the knife hit an obstacle, which was as hard as a stone, causing her pain.

Ye Xuwan grimaced and took back her hand. Just as she was about to see what hit her, she saw a blue tunic with complicated patterns made of gold threads. It was obvious at a glance how noble the owner was.

And her desperate hand suddenly hit the noble man's chest!
Cautiously looking up at the man who appeared in front of her, Ye Xuwan was frightened. She subconsciously took a few steps back, but accidentally tripped over the portrait that fell to the ground.

"Ouch!——"

"Why are you so crazy in the study alone?"

Mo Yunzheng didn't scold him too much, he just glanced at Ye Xuwan who fell on the ground, and then sat down at the desk to continue correcting the papers.

Seeing this, Ye Xuwan quickly got up and picked up all the scrolls that fell on the ground.

"Your Majesty, these are pictures of young ladies from various families sent by His Majesty, saying that they want to select concubines for the princes."

Hearing this, Mo Yunzheng paused slightly in his hand movements, said "hmm" lightly, and said no more words.

Ye Xuwan knelt down and sat aside, sorting out the scrolls. The beauties on the scrolls were all beautiful in various poses, some were delicate, some were bright, some were cold, or some were weak and aroused the desire to protect. Ye Xuwan was dazzled by the sight of them.

These princes are worthy of being nobles and nobles, and they are blessed with great fortune!

When I turned to Lin Fengming's picture, she had a pair of bright peach blossom eyes and slightly hooked lips. She was a little less feminine and a little more heroic, but she also looked gentle.

Ye Xuwan compared the portraits and secretly observed Mo Yunzheng who was correcting the excerpts.

Viewed from the side, Mo Yunzheng's bone statue is so superior that it is simply astonishing. His slightly lowered phoenix eyes make people even more mesmerizing.

But although Mo Yunzheng and Lin Fengming were both handsome men and beautiful women, in Ye Xuwan's view, they did not look like a couple.

Come to think of it, maybe this is the reason why there is no good death in their original work?

Just as Ye Xuwan was thinking about it, Mo Yunzheng suddenly said in a cold voice: "If you have nothing to do, go outside to fetch water."

Hearing this, Ye Xuwan hurriedly put down the scroll in her hand, came to the desk and started studying ink.

But when she thought that Mo Yunzheng was about to get married, Ye Xuwan couldn't help but look at him more.

Try to find some qualities that can serve as a husband.But it's a pity that a man who wants to be an emperor after all, can't be confined to a small family courtyard.

"Just say anything."

Hearing this, Ye Xuwan seemed to be touched, and smiled slightly awkwardly.

"There's nothing..."

After a while, Ye Xuwan finally couldn't hold it back and opened her mouth carefully.

"Well, it actually doesn't matter. I am the one who is curious about His Highness's heart."

Hearing Ye Xuwan's question, Mo Yunzheng stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look over.

The moment she looked at him, Ye Xuwan seemed to feel the extreme cold in the north.

Mo Yunzheng's cold eyes were simply the greatest torture to her mentally.

"Slave, I just asked casually... I overstepped my bounds."

Just when Ye Xuwan thought Mo Yunzheng was angry, he leaned back on the stool.

He closed his eyes slightly to rest and took a deep breath.

The usually cold and solemn voice actually revealed a little tiredness at this moment, "I have no plans to get married."

"Your Highness...haven't you met anyone you like?"

"...A person who is happy with his heart, how can he be happy with his heart after entering the emperor's house?"

After saying this, the room fell into a dead silence.

No one has any more words.

That night, the emperor sent someone to summon Mo Yunzheng.

In the imperial study, the bright yellow candlelight hit the side of the emperor's face.

Mo Yunzheng stood in front of him with an indifferent expression.

"Have you read the scrolls I sent to your bedroom during the day? Do you have anyone you like?"

Hearing the emperor's inquiry, Mo Yunzheng seemed to have expected it, and said calmly: "My son has no plans to get married for the time being. Father, why don't you ask the other brothers for their thoughts first."

"Your other brothers are easy to talk to, but I still care about you the most."

The emperor put down the ancient book in his hand, then waved his hand to the eunuch beside him to unfold the scroll.

He pointed at Lin Fengming's portrait and said in a questioning tone: "I think Lin Fengming, the direct daughter of the Lin family, is good. She is the best candidate to be the crown prince."

Seeing this, Mo Yunzheng's eyes darkened slightly, and he looked at Lin Fengming's portrait with a seemingly scrupulous gaze for a moment.

Then, he said calmly: "My father understands what I mean. But I think that this is not the only way to get back the military power. I can find other ways. I also ask my father to give me some time."

A hint of displeasure flashed in the emperor's bottomless black eyes, and his voice turned cold for a moment, "Time? If I want military power now, do you have a better way?"

Facing the emperor's questioning, Mo Yunzheng fell silent for a moment.

Previously, for him, the Lin family's military power was not within his calculations.

But now, he couldn't give himself a choice.

"My son needs to go back and think about it..."

"Since there is no better way, then the matter is settled."

The emperor's words can crush people to death with just one word, even if he is a prince.

The eunuch handed over Lin Fengming's scroll and said with a flattering smile: "Old slave, I would like to first congratulate Your Highness on your happiness."

Mo Yunzheng stared at the scroll in the eunuch's hand, remained silent for a while, and finally took it with both hands.

"My son, obey the order."
