Study Room of the Leng Residence
The incense cauldron was filled with smoke, and the cold and arrogant handsome face in the haze became more and more solemn.。。People said that when a woman entered the palace, she would become a phoenix and enjoy endless glory and wealth. The clan also gained honor and power. However, he, Leng Peiyuan, had been an official for two dynasties and had seen many concubines sitting in silence in the palace waiting for their wives to die. How could he have the heart to send his precious daughter to the inner court? Moreover, Wan Wan was only nine years old, and it was still too early for her to reach adulthood. The scheming and scheming between the concubines in the harem were not inferior to those in the imperial court. Even a wise man could make a mistake. Moreover, she did not know the darkness of the harem at all.
His heroic eyebrows furrowed, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was inappropriate. Rather than waiting for the emperor to issue an imperial edict, it was better to send Wan Wan away. With his two dynasties of ministers and the strength of his army, the Emperor would not easily make a move on him. His well-defined fingers knocked on the desk, and the crisp sound was abrupt. He pursed his lips and made up his mind.
"Men." He shouted loudly.
"General, what are your orders?" The servant waiting outside the door immediately walked in and bowed to obey.
"Go and invite Third Miss over."
"Yes, I will." The servant replied and left.
Leng Peiyuan thought for a moment, then took out a pen to grind ink and prepared to write a few letters to his trusted aides to prepare for Wan Wan's departure.
With a wave of his hand, the brush landed on the white paper. His writing was vigorous and powerful, and his words were sincere and dignified.
Before the letter was completed, a voice came from outside the door.
Knock knock--
After two sounds, the study door was pushed open. The warm sunlight from the outside brought in a refreshing smell to Mo Xiang's study.
"Daddy, you were looking for me."
Leng Wanwan walked in with an indifferent expression.
"Okay, Wanwan, sit down." Leng Peiyuan's voice was a little deep as he thought about his precious daughter leaving him. This general, who had always been cold and arrogant, was also reluctant to part, but he felt helpless.
"What's wrong?" Leng Wanwan looked at Leng Peiyuan's solemn expression, her deep eyes seemingly revealing reluctance. She sat on the chair and tilted her head to look at him. That appearance was somewhat cute like a child.
"Wan Wan, what did you talk about after the emperor asked you to stay?”Leng Peiyuan didn't know that Leng Wanwan and the Emperor had actually met before that. He thought that the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday was the first time they met. Wan Wan didn't do anything special that day, so the only possibility was their conversation after the incident. Just what did she say to make the emperor insist on making her, a nine-year-old child, the empress?
"Nothing much." Leng Wanwan sat up straight and said lightly. She didn't want to tell Leng Peiyuan that she had asked Xuanyuan Ye to take back the matter of Su Zhan marrying the Liao Kingdom's princess. There was nothing much to say.
"Really?" Leng Peiyuan raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing it. "As expected, he didn't say anything. Why would the emperor insist on making you the empress?”He ignored the objections of the officials and the rules of the palace.
"He did." Leng Wanwan curled her lips. That man really did keep his word.
"You know about it?" Leng Peiyuan saw that his daughter's expression was not surprised, as if everything was within her expectations. " Is that what you were talking about that day?"”
"Yes." Leng Wanwan nodded.
"You don't object?" Leng Peiyuan raised his voice. He could not believe his daughter's calm attitude.
"Why?" Leng Wanwan glanced at Leng Peiyuan indifferently. So what if she was the Empress?
"You are only nine years old." Leng Peiyuan said heavily. The nine-year-old empress was already unbelievable.
"How is it?" Leng Wanwan didn't think much of it. It was just the age of her body. Her soul was seventeen plus nine years old. "Nine years old, I can compare it to ninety years old.”
Leng Peiyuan paused, but he did not deny his daughter's ability. Intelligence, coldness, decisiveness, it was indeed something few people could match.
"The harem is nothing more than a magnificent cage. Are you willing to lock yourself in that cage?”
Leng Peiyuan didn't believe that his daughter's cold and arrogant personality could be restrained. Since ancient times, the palace had locked up the youth of many beauties.
"It is a gorgeous cage, but it may not be able to hold me.”
Leng Wanwan's lips curled into a faint smile. Cage? What was she afraid of? She was not a caged bird, she was a rootless wind, she could enter and leave as she pleased.
"The harem is scheming against each other. Are you sure you want to get involved in that pool of muddy water?”
Leng Peiyuan did not give up and tried his best to persuade his daughter. It was said that the harem was a big dye vat. No matter how fair a person was, they would be dyed black when they entered. He did not want his daughter to become a ruthless and unscrupulous person who would do anything for power.
"That's more interesting, isn't it?”Leng Wanwan smiled devilishly. She had traveled to the Tianyao Empire for so long. If it weren't for the men in black that Mu Zhaoyun sent over from time to time to add to her life, she would have felt moldy long ago. Now that Mu Zhaoyun was gone, it was not bad to go to the palace and play with those women who were good at playing politics. More importantly, that high and mighty Tian Zi was probably waiting for her to continue fighting with him. Very well, she had that intention too. Because not everyone had enough weight to exchange blows with him, he should not expect too much from the intelligence of the ancients.
His clear eyes reflected Leng Peiyuan's figure. The expression on his face had long betrayed his thoughts. She curled her lips and said firmly.
"I won't become the person you imagine.”
Playing tricks was also a kind of ability, but she would never become the kind of person who would sell her conscience for power. What was power? She didn't even care about the throne. Life was like a fleeting cloud, and the truth was to enjoy it in time. And her enjoyment was to make herself HAPPY and not mistreat herself.
Leng Peiyuan stared at her, wondering if her excitement really meant that she was willing. But why? The harem was really not the best place for a woman. It would only ruin their youth.
"Wan Wan, are you doing this for us?”He made a guess. Although his daughter looked cold on the outside, she managed the General's Estate in an orderly manner. The entire residence was peaceful. She wasn't a cold-hearted person. She also had tenderness.
"Don't worry, Father has already thought of a countermeasure. As long as you leave for a period of time and the emperor can't find you, the matter of establishing an emperor will naturally be dropped. And I'm a minister of two dynasties, he won't touch me easily.”
As he spoke, he handed her the letter that he had almost finished writing.
Leng Wanwan glanced at the letter with a calm expression. However, she was deeply touched. She did not expect Leng Peiyuan to go against the imperial edict and protect her. However, she could not accept this favor. Because she had really volunteered to become the empress. Growing up in a gang, she had experienced all kinds of dangerous experiences. He still remembered that when he was twelve, the Italian mafia had a conflict with them. Both sides had countless deaths, and it was almost a mountain of bones. However, she had never been afraid of such a hellish scene. That person had warned her since she was five years old that they were living in a sea of blades and spears, and only the strong could survive. The harem might be full of schemes and plots, but with her brains and martial strength, those schemes would at most add to her fun.
"I'm not worried. I'm not leaving either.”Leng Wanwan's eyes were like torches, transmitting the most sincere thoughts in her heart.
"I want to enter the palace and be the nine-year-old empress that Shi Wuqian had.”
"Hey, you-"
Leng Peiyuan saw that his daughter was determined to be the empress and knew that even ten horses would not be able to pull her back. Forget it, forget it. Children and grandchildren also had their own blessings. He could not replace her life. He let her do as she wished and only hoped that she could be safe and sound in the future, and not be like a resentful woman in the palace with white hair…
