CHAPTER 475 2 : UNCOUNTABLE (1/2)

CHAPTER 475 (2): UNCOUNTABLE

Ning Lianchen lowered his head to see the petite body snuggled against his chest. Although I don’t wish to take in any consorts, it’s not appropriate for me to suppress the court officials with the military at the moment. In order to reclaim all of Yun Ruofeng’s power, I can only agree to the officials proposal to conduct the Imperial Beauty Selection to fill the imperial harem.

“Yinyin, although I am the Emperor, there are currently some matters where I can’t make my own decisions. I have to select 10 women for this Imperial Beauty Selection altogether, but no matter what happens, I will look after you.”

Liu Yinyin raised her head and purposely winked at him. “Look after me until I marry? At that time, you must choose the most handsome man in Nanzhao for me!”

“Jeez, you’re so young, but you’re already judging people by their appearances.” Ning Lianchen couldn’t help but gently flick her forehead.

“Who asked you to be so handsome? After getting used to looking at your handsome face, my expectations for other men have naturally become higher. Isn’t that right?” Liu Yinyin pushed him away, a trace of mischief in her eyes.

The corners of Ning Lianchen’s mouth curved up as he affectionately responded, “You’re saying all sorts of nonsense.”

“Your Majesty, let’s have a meal together tonight. Then, you can tell me some stories and play hide-and-seek with me.” Liu Yinyin smiled as she gave the suggestion, grabbing his hands before spinning in circles.

Seeing how she was in high spirits, Ning Lianchen couldn’t bear to refuse her. Liu Yinyin flashed an even brighter smile, but beneath her cheerful exterior was a heart full of sorrow.

I’m afraid that after tonight has passed, I won’t be able to see him ever again.

The two of them had an enjoyable time together, and before they realised it, night had already fallen. Noticing that it was getting late, Ning Lianchen caressed her head and softly said, “You should sleep early. I’ll return to the Imperial Study to go through the memorials.”

Liu Yinyin nodded. “Mmm, I won’t hold you back; go on.”

“Alright.” Ning Lianchen was satisfied with her performance today.
