Your Majesty, You Can't

Although he was forced to sleep on the bed by Su Nuo, He Lanzhi's sleep quality was still poor, and he woke up from a light sleep before dawn.

"My lord, it's still early, you can still sleep for a while." Su Nuo, who was on guard at night, persuaded softly.

"No, I can't sleep."

He Lanzhi rubbed his bloodshot eyes, raised his head slightly to signal him to go out and call the servants and maidservants who served him personally to dress him in court clothes.

Su Nuo responded and sang, and within a few seconds after he bowed and exited the door, the attendants who had been waiting for He Lanzhi filed in and entered the bedroom. They tied the prime minister's hair and dressed in an orderly manner, and handed over the celadon teacup For them to rinse their mouths and freshen up.

"Send someone to ask if the Minister of Rites has drawn up a roster of beautiful women for His Majesty," He Lanzhi raised his jaw to make it easier for the young man to fasten the jade button of the black court dress, and the sexy Adam's apple on his slender neck slipped slightly. "If it hasn't been drawn up yet... then tell him not to worry, and get to know the characters and appearances of those girls carefully."

"Returning to my lord, Lord Shangshu sent me the roster last night."

An attendant respectfully held the roster in front of He Lanzhi, cruelly breaking his last chance of procrastinating.

"That's it..." He Lanzhi murmured and caressed the word "Xiu Nu" on the cover of the roster, and the look in Mo's eyes gradually became blurred, "Today I will give it to His Majesty to have a look."

After noticing that He Lanzhi's figure was shaking slightly, the maid who put on the jade crown for He Lanzhi couldn't help asking worriedly, "Are you all right, my lord?"

"Nothing." He Lanzhi waved his hand, "I'll take the roster and leave first, so there's no need to prepare breakfast."

The prime minister personally ordered not to prepare breakfast, and the maidservants serving He Lanzhi's meal looked at the young guard Su Nuo with embarrassment. After receiving the instruction, Su Nuo immediately wrapped two buns in a silk handkerchief, and hurriedly followed him. Follow He Lanzhi's pace, lest his adults faint from hunger in the middle of the morning.

The hazy night gradually faded, and the sky slowly revealed a white belly.Before the early court started, Zhao Yin, who was fully dressed in the bedroom, received the news that Prime Minister He Lan asked to see him.

It has been a long time since Zhao Yin had a good conversation with He Lanzhi, and when he heard that He Lanzhi came to see him early today, his eyes were overjoyed, and he waved his dragon robe and said, "Quick announcement."

He Lanzhi, who was led all the way to Zhao Yin by the little eunuch, saluted expressionlessly, and handed over the roster respectfully with his head down, "Your Majesty, according to the palace rules, the selection of your concubine will be held in the palace in the middle of this month." Proceed. This is the roster of show girls, please have a look."

Zhao Yin's smile froze on his lips as he stepped forward to meet He Lanzhi.

"Azhi, I never said that I want to marry a concubine."

He Lanzhi covered his face that was about to lose his composure with his wide sleeves, and narrated in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, this is the palace rule stipulated by the emperor's ancestors. These are the lists drawn up by the Ministry of Rites. Please have a look at them. In the past, the drafts were all set at In front of the Kunning Gate, which leads directly to the Imperial Garden, is it the same this year?"

"You and the Ministry of Rites have discussed it and asked me what to do!" Zhao Yin was furious, "I have someone I like, so what do you think of yourself!"

"Your Majesty, the palace rules are like this, so the concubine selection has to be done." He Lanzhi continued, suppressing the congestion in his throat, "What's more, the whole country knows that you are going to choose a concubine."

"I have already said that I will not marry a concubine. Are you deaf to my decree?!"

He Lanzhi avoided answering Zhao Yin's question, and instead passed the roster up, "Your Majesty, please have a look."

Watching He Lanzhi present the roster without any disturbance, Zhao Yin was so angry that the crown and jade beads on his head shook and rattled.

Others can come to Zhao Yin to mention this matter, but only He Lanzhi can't.His liking for He Lanzhi has always been obvious, but not only did he turn a blind eye like he was avoiding it, but he also ruined his liking, choosing for him a girl he didn't love to be the woman by his side.

"Who do you think I am!" Zhao Yin took the roster through gritted teeth, threw it on the ground fiercely and said angrily, "Looking over... what's the use of looking over me, I said I don't want a single woman, Will you take back this broken booklet!"

"emperor……"

He Lanzhi looked at the angry Zhao Yin in every possible way, and his heart ached as if being pulled by a falling hand.

Under the pressure of public opinion known throughout the whole country, even if it is false that the emperor wants to marry a concubine, it must now be true.The royal family's palace rules and family laws also forced Zhao Yin to marry.

In the whole world, everyone hoped that the emperor would marry and choose a concubine, but he was the only one who didn't want to see this happen.

If Zhao Yin gets married, he will suffer the most.

But not only could he not obstruct him, but he had to personally check on Zhao Yin and push the dignified girl to Zhao Yin's side.

And this is the first time Zhao Yin has shown such anger at him.

No matter what happened in the past, the regression and compromise of both sides have resolved those tipping points one by one, and let the smell of gunpowder disappear in smoke.It can even be said that Zhao Yin never said a single serious word to him.

But this time he made Zhao Yin completely disappointed.

This is really not a job that humans can do.

On the one hand, all kinds of bad situations were placed in front of him at the same time, forcing him to make such a decision against his own heart; on the other hand, Zhao Yin vented his fury on him, which made him feel extremely tired and wronged.

Obviously no one wants Zhao Yin to marry more than him, but he has to bear Zhao Yin's misunderstanding and be regarded as a cold-blooded and ruthless villain.

The moment He Lanzhi met Zhao Yin's hurt eyes, the tears in his eyes almost fell down.

How much he wanted to tell Zhao Yin not to marry a concubine; begged him, as a high-ranking emperor, not to show such a pitiful and hurt look that would make one's heart break.

"Xiaoyin..." He Lanzhi cried out bitterly.

"Don't call me." Zhao Yin glanced at He Lanzhi coldly, and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Don't you want to draft a girl? Well, I want to see what you will do."
