A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 519 She Likes Me Like This

The Xianbei man raised his phoenix eyes slightly, glanced at the girl in the red skirt, and said in a very cold and stern tone:

"Isn't my relationship with her worthy of giving her a token of love?" He rarely spoke in such a stern tone, but suddenly turned to look at Yuan Wuyou, still holding the white peony in his hand and handing it to her, and softened his tone:

"You and I are nominally and truly the original concubines."

Even though the Xianbei emperor had two faces, it didn't stop Feng Ling from being choked up and standing there in a daze.

Yuan Wuyou took the peony he handed over in a daze, "I haven't even left Qi State Inn yet, and you're expecting me to come back?"

The Xianbei man raised his eyes and said, "I am not going back to Qi, but to my hometown, Chang'an. The palace where I live was originally your home."

Yuan Wuyou was silent for a moment, then smiled and said:

"One day, I will repay you with angelica." After saying this, she handed the peony in her hand back to him.

Yuwen Huaibi took Shaoyao back. At this moment, Sister Feng beside him snorted coldly:
"May I ask, Your Excellency, you keep boasting that you are my sister's concubine. Are you trying to show off your special status, or are you trying to force my sister to acknowledge your flaws?"

Sister Feng was also very angry and spoke without restraint. Yuan Wuyou's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he quickly took over the conversation, "Shut up! Sister, go back quickly, I'll take care of things here."

After saying that, he looked at Yuwen Huaibi, who was staring at the peony flowers in his hand with a dazed look, "It's time to set off. Why are you still in a daze?"

In fact, Yuwen Huaibi was chewing on the little girl's words. Rather than forcing her to accept the "tongfang" relationship, it would be more accurate to say that he was forcing himself to accept it.

He tamed himself to accept that he was her first man, and at the same time took over and inherited her equally noble status and power, as if it could allow him to escape from his humble origins and become someone on par with the empress.

Moreover, he was also taming others, because he was the first man of the Crown Princess, so he could have the same dignity and power as the son-in-law of the Empress and the future father of the country. Yuwen Huaibi knew very well that he was not infatuated, but obsessed with power, obsessed with the supreme social status and recognition of noble identity that could be obtained by marrying her.

To put it bluntly, Yuan Wuyou was the first spark in Yuwen Huaibi's life that enlightened him and gave rise to his ambitions.

He had such a terrible background and a humble and miserable past. His father's family looked down on him, and his wife's family did not recognize him. Now he would rather be shamelessly scolded as "shameless" than not want her to recognize his identity. His heart is already strong enough.

Yuwen Huaibi knew that apart from his surname, he had never enjoyed the privileges that a son of an aristocratic family or an emperor should have. He had not even enjoyed the affection of his parents and brothers.

After all, he was given away by the Yuwen family when he was born. If the family had not discovered that the then Western Wei empress had sympathy for him, they would not have brought him back to raise him to entertain the empress. Later, they even gave their son directly to the little princess as a child husband.

But his fate was full of misfortunes. His young wife did not like the toys that she offered him, and he was falsely accused of having an affair with a maid. The only token of his love he had was a palace belt that she gave him casually, but it had been with him for more than ten years. Even when he became emperor, he was a puppet with limited travel and no voice in his words and deeds.

Even though he was the supreme emperor in Zhou, he was not as happy and comfortable as a white slave beside her. What was funny was that all the civil and military officials in the court, all the people in the Zhou Dynasty, were not as good as her indifferent charity to him.

If it were the same as when they first met, when she was still in her infancy, she would be his lifeline to escape from the clan purgatory. Seventeen years later, she is still the only light and hope in his life.

Fortunately, she was as resilient as a reed, and could not be defeated or pushed down. She was always in front of him, yet not far away. She was enough to support his ambition to climb up the social ladder and seek self-salvation.

Now, on the one hand, Yuwen Huaibi wants the world to acknowledge her and let her acknowledge their relationship. On the other hand, he also takes advantage of the fact that she doesn't like men who take the initiative and continues to maintain his aloofness and nobleness.

Rather than making a fuss like the Gao brothers and vying for her favor, he would rather live alone. But he couldn't help but deceive himself... maybe her warm sunshine could shine on him.

After all, the most clever trick is to tell the truth. If the "tyrant" wants to deceive her with this conspiracy, he can only deceive her into believing it by believing it first and practicing it himself.

***
Inside the main hall.

When Miyue, holding a white peony in her hand, followed Yuan Wuyou into the room to visit Lanling King on the sickbed, Gao Changgong recognized him as soon as their eyes met.

At this moment, the man on the bed was half-undressed, with his body wrapped in white cloth, but he still looked broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, and he was still handsome and upright. Gao Changgong was originally very happy when he heard the guards report that "the Lady of Runan is visiting", but when he saw the Xianbei man following closely behind her, his dark eyes widened instantly.

He had been injured in bed recently because of a fight with a Zhou country ruffian. Now he saw that the mastermind dared to show off in front of his sickbed, and he was immediately furious. He snorted at the girl who came in first:

"If I had known he was going to come in, I wouldn't have let you come."

Hearing this, Yuan Wuyou didn't react for a moment and just stood there in a daze. Miyue, who was behind her, became displeased when she saw her stop.

"Tsk, I heard that Prince Lanling always knows how to behave and know the rules of etiquette, but now I see you are a jealous old man? Who are you? How dare you be so rude to the Lord of Huaxu!?"

Before he finished speaking, the girl reacted and smiled helplessly, "Fourth brother is jealous occasionally, which is quite spoiled and cute." Having received her praise, Gao Changgong, who was lying on the sickbed, immediately raised his eyebrows, his dark phoenix eyes were proud, and he glanced at the man with the Nuo mask with pride.

"Did you hear that? She likes me like this. She and I are like husband and wife, not a king and subject or a master and slave. Do we still need to follow any red tape?"

“……” The man in the Nuo mask felt quite humiliated, so he turned away and looked down at the peony in his hand.

Yuan Wuyou walked towards the head of the bed.

Seeing her approaching, Gao Changgong felt a little insecure. He supported himself with his hands at his sides and was about to stand up, saying, "What is he doing here? Who is the flower in his hand for?"

Seeing him trying to stand up, Yuan Wuyou quickly pushed Gao Changgong down, "Don't move! Do you still want your wound to heal? I came here to get the Gan Jiang sword."

In a panic, she pressed her palm on the man's muscular chest, causing Gao Changgong's handsome and fair face to instantly turn red with embarrassment. He then obediently lay back on the bed, and then raised his hand and pointed at the wicker wardrobe next to him.

"In the… closet."

Fortunately, after receiving the order, the girl hurriedly got up and ran to the closet. Gao Changgong then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was looking into the eyes of the tightly dressed man standing at the head of his bed.

The Xianbei man silently put the hand holding the flower behind his back, as if he was afraid that Gao Changgong would snatch it away.

Gao Changgong suddenly felt a lump in his throat. Damn it, he was clearly here to steal his wife...

Yuan Wuyou quickly took out the Gan Jiang sword from the cabinet and turned around to hand it to the Xianbei man.

Miyue glanced at the sword in her hand, and then at the Chixiao Sword behind her. She could feel his smile through the wooden Nuo mask. "I want to get Moye from Yuan Mingjian to match you."

"No need to match, this sword is given to you."

"Really? You gave it...to me?" he asked hesitantly, his eyes full of disbelief.

Yuan Wuyou patted the Chixiao Sword on his back and said comfortingly, "I have the Chixiao Sword passed down from my ancestors. Gan Jiang and Moye are the swords of love, and I am destined to be alone. It is not appropriate for me to keep them. If you really ask for the Moye Sword from Li Mingjian, then you will have a pair, just right for your sweetheart."

When I heard her calmly push him to his "sweetheart", I knew that she didn't have me in her heart, that's why she was so free and easy.

Yuwen Huaibi suddenly felt sad and his eyes dimmed.

Gao Changgong, who was lying on the bed, watched the two of them exchanging swords and chatting for a long time without paying attention to anyone around, but he didn't have the guts to interrupt them. Now, after hearing the red-shirted girl's frank and generous words, his eyebrows curved slightly, and he burst out laughing...

It immediately attracted the attention of both of them.

The Xianbei man cast a glance at the Qi general lying there, then turned to look at Yuan Wuyou tenderly and said, "Has King Lanling ever received such a precious gift? How many weapons do you have that are enough to give as a gift?"

When Gao Changgong heard that he was deliberately bullying him, he immediately raised his head and replied with an arrogant look, "I already have a mountain of weapons, so I don't need her to give me weapons. I did give her a set of Ming Guang armor that is the same as mine, and I guess you haven't seen us wearing it together, right? If Zhou Kingdom continues to provoke you, you will definitely see it!"

This statement not only revealed the deep affection between the two, but also suppressed and threatened Yuwen Huaibi. Yuan Wuyou couldn't help but sigh, who said Gao Changgong was too dull and wouldn't get jealous or argue? Obviously, he hit the vital point as soon as he attacked!

Yuwen Huaibi naturally didn't want to hear him bragging about their love, so he immediately turned cold, holding a flower in one hand and a sword in the other, and turned to the girl and said:
"Wuyouer, shall we set off? Otherwise it will be dark soon."

Gao Changgong, lying on the sickbed, gritted his teeth secretly and held back his hatred. He could not help but raise his hand and said, "Can you use the little prince to protect you? Although the little prince is injured, he has made a promise to fight side by side with her. You Xianbei people...don't borrow her and not return her."

The Xianbei man said coldly: "Since Lanling Wang is injured, he should rest. She is the Fengling Wang of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the former master of Chang'an! You Qi State should also return her to her."
