Chapter 450: There is only one person, Jiang Wumei, in the harem. Will the emperor agree?
"emperor?"
Seeing Xiao Tong sitting motionless in the chair, Jiang Wumei called out in confusion.
Xiao Tong stood up, took Jiang Wumei's hand, walked out of the bedroom, and planned to go directly to the imperial study.
The palace road ahead was clean and straight. Jiang Wumei frowned and hesitated before speaking:
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?
But not happy?"
It takes at least half an hour to walk from Fengwu Palace to the Imperial Study. Xiao Tong would take her there, which would add a lot of time. What did he want to do?
Xiao Tong adjusted his pace to match Jiang Wumei's and looked down at her:
"I'm not unhappy, I just want to walk with you."
Jiang Wumei was speechless.
There's no way she would believe him.
Xiao Tong didn't show it on his face, but his dark eyes contained a hint of annoyance and rejection, and it was obvious that he was displeased with something.
Considering the changes in his state in the bedroom just now, Jiang Wumei thought for a moment and determined the reason for his unhappiness.
Feeling a little amused, Jiang Wumei never expected that the man in front of her, who was the king of a country, would also have moments of throwing tantrums like a child.
Perhaps Xiao Tong himself did not realize that at this moment, he was very similar to An'er who was clamoring to eat sweet osmanthus cake.
Their eyebrows and eyes were 70% similar, their temperaments were exactly the same, and even their unhappy expressions were 100% alike, which made Jiang Wumei's heart soft and sour.
It turns out that Xiao Tong was also so insecure.
"emperor."
After walking a few steps forward, Jiang Wumei suddenly stopped. Xiao Tong kept his eyes on her, and he stopped almost as soon as Jiang Wumei stopped.
"what happened?"
Xiao Tong looked back, his dark eyes revealing a hint of concern.
Jiang Wumei sorted out her words and looked at Xiao Tong. Meeting the man's worried gaze, Jiang Wumei raised the corners of her lips and spoke softly:
"Your Majesty, there is something I have never mentioned to you before."
Jiang Wumei had a gentle and beautiful smile on her face, and Xiao Tong's heart began to pound wildly. He was guessing what Jiang Wumei was going to say next, and his dry palms were covered with sweat.
"What did you want to mention?"
Xiao Tong heard a hint of nervousness and dryness in his own voice. He was looking forward to what the person in front of him would say next, but he was also afraid that what she would say was not what he wanted to hear.
Jiang Wumei could not be fooled by the anxiety in Xiao Tong's pupils. She recalled everything that happened after returning to the palace, and thought of Xiao Tong's love and cherishment for her since their reunion. Her heart felt like it was immersed in a hot spring, with traces of heat and self-blame.
Perhaps, she should have faced her own heart earlier and not left such a long period of bitterness between the two of them.
There are some words that she only needs to say once, and the man in front of her will no longer worry about gains and losses and doubt himself all day long.
But, not bad.
It’s not too late now.
Facing the hope and expectation burning in the man's black eyes, Jiang Wumei's smile grew even brighter.
The sun is shining brightly and the sky is blue.
The butterfly fluttered its wings and flew around the flowers on both sides.
Waves of floral fragrance flowed into the two people's sides, staining the corners of their intertwined clothes.
Under Xiao Tong's nervous gaze, he finally heard Jiang Wumei's heavenly voice.
Jiang Wumei said:
"Your Majesty, can you promise me one thing?"
Jiang Wumei's eyes were bright and focused, and Xiao Tong became a puppet, feeling that his chaotic heartbeat was firmly grasped by the person in front of him.
All the sounds around him were automatically blocked by Xiao Tong. Under the white noise-like tinnitus, Xiao Tong heard his own stiff words:
"able.
you say. "
Xiao Tong's eyes were as devout as if he was worshiping a god, and he lifted Jiang Wumei to a height that no one had ever reached before.
It seemed that no matter what Jiang Wumei asked for next, he would agree unconditionally.
Jiang Wumei's heartbeat gradually quickened, and the faint smile in her peach blossom eyes gradually faded. She stretched out her hand, interlocked her fingers with the person in front of her, and said seriously:
"I want His Majesty to stop taking concubines from now on, and to have only one queen in the entire harem.
Whether it's one year, two years, five years or ten years, the emperor will only have Jiang Wumei by his side. Can the emperor agree?"
The palms of their intertwined fingers conveyed the man's scorching body temperature. Xiao Tong's dark eyes were filled with emotion. He was about to speak when Jiang Wumei interrupted him directly:
"Your Majesty, please think carefully before replying to me.
If the emperor agrees, he must give me an imperial edict.
If the emperor changes his mind one day, I will take this imperial edict and ask to leave the palace.
The world is so vast that the Emperor will never find me again."
The last sentence, even though it was just a reminder, made Xiao Tong's heart ache violently.
He tightened his grip around their intertwined fingers, holding her tightly in his arms, eager to give the answer:
"I agree to everything you just said.
There will be no other woman around me except you, the queen.
I will never let you suffer any injustice, Niaoniao. I only ask that you don't leave me.
I've experienced the feeling of loss many times, and every time it terrifies me and haunts me with nightmares. As long as you stay by my side, I'll do anything you ask me to do! "
His chest was washed by the hot current, and Xiao Tong hugged Jiang Wumei tightly and expressed his love over and over again.
Jiang Wumei's eyes were hot. She raised her hands to hug the man's thin waist, feeling the trembling arms on her body, and nodded vigorously.
"As long as the emperor is determined, I will never leave.
I will always stay with you and An'er and won't go anywhere."
Letting go of Xiao Tong, Jiang Wumei raised her eyes to meet the man's bloodshot eyes, suppressing her nasal ache as she uttered the last words:
"Your Majesty, my heart is as deep as yours.
The rock cannot be moved."
"wave……"
Xiao Tong's eyes were bloodshot, and he took a step forward, unable to control his emotions. Just as he was about to lower his head to kiss those tender lips, a little ball rushed towards them from a few meters away.
"Father, Mother, wherever you go, An'er will go too!"
The little guy's enthusiastic voice instantly dispelled the beauty lingering between the two of them.
His emotions were forced to stop, and Xiao Tong subconsciously raised his hand to protect the person in his arms. His pair of black eyes swept towards An'er who was rushing towards him with a stern look. An'er was so scared that he suddenly stopped two meters away and looked at the two of them with a confused and uneasy look on his face.
Jiang Wumei lowered her head in panic, wiping the tears from her eyes so as not to let the child see her embarrassment.
After adjusting her mood, Jiang Wumei broke free from Xiao Tong's arms and waved to the uneasy little guy.
The little fellow who just thought he had done something wrong, immediately revived as soon as he saw his mother waving at him, and rushed into Jiang Wumei's arms to act coquettishly:
"Mother, Father was so scary just now. An'er thought he was going to hit me."
The little guy has never been one to suffer injustice. He was frightened by Xiao Tong's glare just now and now he immediately complained.
Jiang Wumei of course comforted him first:
"Father loves An'er the most, how could he hit you?
Father and mother have something to do in the Imperial Study, so you can play in the palace for a while, and mother will be back to accompany you later."
An'er pouted unwillingly. Xiao Tong took two steps forward, gave him a look of disdain, then looked at Jiang Wumei with gentle eyes:
"Don't mind him.
The Regent Prince Tianqi is still waiting for me in the Imperial Study, let's go first."
