I don’t want to be the protagonist of a melodramatic novel!

""Huh!?"

Yunze was eating at this moment. He listened to the news from the neighborhood sent by the secret guard. In his anger, he turned his bowl upside down on the table.

But Yunze was an emperor after all, so he quickly calmed down.

"Are you saying that the daughter of Marquis Jingde is making a fuss about breaking off the engagement?"

Yunze used chopsticks to put the white rice that was left on the table because the bowl was turned upside down back into the bowl, then raised his head and asked the secret guard.

The eunuch who was serving Yunze on the side opened his mouth to say something when he saw Yunze's appearance, but thinking of the character of this majesty, he immediately closed his mouth. The current majesty is very frugal. In the second year of his accession to the throne, he had dismissed nearly half of the palace servants.

Because there was no queen in the palace, many palace doors were locked, and there was no need for so many palace servants to clean.

Even those concubines were given generous fortunes by the queen and the emperor, and were taken back to their natal families for honor and retirement.

And the emperor and the queen went out to travel in the south of the Yangtze River.

In other words, now in this huge imperial city, there is only one master, the current emperor!

"Yes, it seems that the eldest daughter of Marquis Jingde has taken a fancy to the popular Mr. Fenghuang in Ruyifang."

"Really?"

Yunze seemed to be lost in thought as if he had thought of something. Where had he heard of this Young Master Fenghuang?

"Prince Phoenix?"

"Yes! It was a bastard of the Marquis of Jingfeng Mansion, named Ye Han. He often went to Ruyifang, and whenever he got drunk, he would be inspired to write a poem.

His poems were gorgeous and generous, his writing was full of flowers, and his face was as handsome as a jade, just like Pan An reincarnated, so he was called the Phoenix Prince."

Yun Ze:"..."

Hearing the name"Young Master Phoenix", Yunze was stunned on the spot, but fortunately, this time his job was secured and he did not put the bowl on the table.

This name is not the name of the protagonist in his dream novel"Dari Fengyun, I Have Three Thousand Beauties in My Harem!"

After all, it is a dream. No matter how profound the experience in the dream is, when you wake up, you will forget why it is so profound.

Yunze did not want to record such meaningless things in his diary, so when he heard the words"Young Master Phoenix", he did not think of anything.

But he was deeply impressed by this name.

Although as a normal person, it is really difficult for him to understand why a man who likes to visit brothels would be called Young Master Phoenix.

"Got it, back off, keep watching."

Yunze rubbed his brows, waved his hand to let the secret guards back off, and thought about his cousin Xu Ruoxi, the daughter of the Marquis of Jingde.

He found that at this moment he seemed a bit like the villain emperor in the novel.

Was the novel a warning from God? Would his future, his dynasty, also perish like the novel?

In his dream, he saw that many people paid so much for the people to have enough food, so he also understood how hard it was to get these grains.

Not to mention that his father and mother would also bring him to the farm every spring plowing season. I went to play the role of a farmer and do farming.

It's not just for me to pretend, but to feel the hardships of the people firsthand.

Nowadays, except for the Qianqing Palace where I handle government affairs, because I have to summon ministers and have to maintain it regularly, the paint in other palaces has peeled off in some places!

And I am so frugal and spend money on the people, but in return I become a king who lost his country in history books?

No! That's not right! There are other novels in my dreams!

And the emperors in those novels did not become kings who lost their country, and they all have different personalities.

Thinking of this, Yunze had just finished his lunch and turned to look at his personal eunuch, Eunuch Qing.

""Announce, Marquis Jingde enters the palace."

Yunze instructed Eunuch Qing.

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Qing immediately lowered his head to show that he had received it, but a storm had already been set off in his mind.

It seems that Marquis Jingde's imperial favor is about to end.

Marquis Jingde is the biological brother of the current Empress Dowager. Because of the experience of the Emperor Retired with a favorite concubine, Marquis Jingde was not given too much real power, but because of the deep love between the Emperor Retired and the Empress Retired, he was also more noble.

And Marquis Jingde's eldest daughter, Yunze's cousin, grew up with the current emperor as childhood sweethearts. With this friendship, she will definitely be the master of the central palace.

But now, I don't know if she is crazy or what, she actually wants to break off the engagement with Your Majesty.

This is a matter of royal face, and I don't know how Your Majesty will deal with it.

After Yunze gave the order, he was not in a hurry. He asked someone to present the memorial. While reviewing the memorial, he waited for Marquis Jingde.

""Your Majesty, please see me."

An hour had passed when Marquis Jingde arrived. He was standing at the bottom of the table, bowing to Yunze.

But Yunze did not reply. He seemed to be reading the memorials carefully and did not notice Marquis Jing'an's arrival.

Marquis Jing'an did not dare to straighten his back when he did not hear Yunze calling him. He could only bend his old back in pain, thinking about how he had offended the emperor.

It was three minutes later when Yunze finished reviewing the memorials. Looking at Marquis Jing'an's old face, Yunze sighed and said,

"Okay, uncle, you don't have to be so polite, get up."

Jing'an Hou also pretended to be frightened and raised his head and said,"Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be abolished."

At this time, Yunze did not respond to Jing'an Hou's words, but instead said to himself

"Yes, etiquette cannot be abolished."

Hearing the tone of His Majesty, Jing Anhou immediately felt something was wrong. Although His Majesty had only been on the throne for two years, he had seen too many times His Majesty used this tone to say that someone's head would be chopped off.

"I just don't know if my cousin knows the etiquette."

Hearing this, Marquis Jing'an immediately understood that His Majesty seemed to know the ridiculous thing his unfilial daughter was going to do.

He only recently learned about his daughter's thoughts. At that time, he wanted to question why she had such thoughts, but his damn daughter actually said that women are not vassals of men, she should live her own life, and she also said something about being a couple for life.

This made him so angry that he almost slapped his daughter away. How can marrying the emperor make her a vassal of the emperor?

And being a couple for life, the Phoenix Prince you like may still be wandering around Ruyifang now.

He was just about to suppress this matter, but the emperor immediately called him into the palace.

"This old minister is guilty!"

Marquis Jing'an made a prompt decision, knelt down decisively, and knocked his head heavily on the ground.

"Uncle, please get up, what have you done wrong?"

Yunze said hypocritically, but his hands did not move at all.

"This old minister failed to teach his daughter well, and she secretly met with a man outside the family even though she was engaged to His Majesty."

"Oh? It seems that my uncle knows the situation?"Yun Ze didn't want to pretend anymore, and sat at the top with a blank expression, looking coldly at Jing'an Hou who was sitting below. Jing'an Hou was an old and experienced man, and he knew that His Majesty seemed to know everything, so he also revealed everything.

"Is that so?"

Yun Ze thought about it. Although his cousin seemed to have lost her mind, this uncle was quite sensible. Moreover, his uncle seemed to be very kind to his mother. It would not be a good idea to punish him too severely for such friendship.

However, the royal family's reputation could not be violated....

"It's been cold recently. I wonder how my cousin's cold is getting better in such a cold weather?"

Yunze asked Jing'an Hou with a concerned tone.

Jing'an Hou understood almost instantly. He looked at the young king in front of him. The young man was handsome and handsome. Although he was young, his unspeakable imperial temperament almost made him breathless.

He really couldn't understand why his daughter didn't want to marry this emperor.

After hesitating for a moment, he said decisively:

"My daughter has been suffering from a severe cold lately. I would like to ask Your Majesty to send a royal doctor to treat me."

"allow!"
