Thinking back to the number of concubines in the estate, even though Mu Sheng had married them, he didn't touch them at all. The long night had indeed been difficult for him.
"What are you thinking about?" Mu Ying waved his hand in front of Xue Ruyun.
"I was thinking how pitiful it is that you didn't touch these concubines after marrying them. For the rest of their lives, they have been left in an endless, isolated room. It's such a pity, it's not fair to them. "
Xue Ruyun sighed with emotion. Fortunately, Mu Ying was like this before she met him, and not after the marriage ceremony. She felt very apologetic in her heart.
"What? You want me to go to their room and accompany them? Is it rain or dew?" Mu Ying's expression suddenly changed as he asked in anger.
"No. "No." Xue Ruyun thought of Wen Mingjia's half-naked breasts, and her flirtatious appearance. As for the other concubines, they were all like wolves and tigers as they coquettishly wriggled their bodies. She didn't want Mu Ying to get close to them. But he felt bad.
"Like I said, you are the only one I truly love." Mu Yong's expression suddenly became serious as he looked into Xue Ruyun's eyes and said.
"I have also said to the Queen Mother that I will not touch anyone except those I love. It's not that they hadn't heard of my temper before they were married to me, but they still had to make this choice, so I had no choice. " Mu Ying said word by word.
He could do nothing about it. It wasn't that he had never rejected them before, but these people still did not hesitate to turn their backs. They felt that they could capture Mu Ying's heart and heart.
Mu Ying was also in a difficult position. In his entire life, love was love. If he didn't love, then he didn't love. Because he felt guilty about accepting others, he couldn't do that.
Besides, he couldn't bring himself to touch someone he didn't like.
On the other hand, every one of these concubines had revealed their intentions to him, and he had righteously rejected them. But they had actually used their own background to make their father beg the emperor, beg the empress dowager, and have the empress dowager force them into marriage. This made Mu Sheng even more disgusted, as he had brought this upon himself from the very beginning.
Mu Sheng sat down with a sullen expression. Because he hadn't expected that he would wholeheartedly pretend to only have one person in his heart, but Xue Ruyun had actually pushed her to another woman's side. Was this someone who didn't believe in his heart, or just didn't believe in him?
Seeing Mu Ying's anger, and hearing him speak of his helplessness, Xue Ruoyun finally understood the difficult situation he was facing. Even if she was forced to accept others, she wouldn't be able to do so.
It wasn't easy to get close to someone you didn't like, let alone to their bed. Xue Luoyun decided to never mention this matter again.
"I'm sorry, I understand one-sided. I shouldn't just think about them and ignore your feelings. " Xue Ruyun sincerely apologized to Mu Ying.
Hearing her soft tone, the anger in Mu Ying's brows gradually subsided. "Alright, you're not allowed to say such things in the future. In my entire life, I only have the luxury of being on your side. How can I have the time and energy to care about others? "
Mu Rong Jun patted Xue Ruoyun's head and said lovingly. She couldn't get angry at her no matter what.
"They did whatever it took to marry her, so they should know that this is the result. Of course, I won't be harsh on them. As long as they are willing to stay in the palace, I don't mind raising them for the rest of their lives. If you don't want to, they can go out at any time. "
Hearing Mu Yong's words, Xue Ruoyun nodded his head, moved. Sure enough, he had not fallen in love with the wrong person. To be able to meet such a person who loved only one person in his entire life was a blessing he had gained from several lives.
After clarifying this matter, the two of them became even more intimate. As long as Mu Sheng had time, he would always come and accompany Xue Luoyun. The two of them went out and dueled, talking about the world and sparring martial arts. It truly made others envious.
A few concubines had already gotten used to the lonely night, so they didn't have anything to think about when Mu Ying was out there all year round. However, now that they saw his handsome face every day, they couldn't get close to him. This made their jealousy grow like wild grass in their hearts.
"Madam, how have you been?" On this day, Xue Luoyun was researching a military strategy when he saw several concubines come uninvited.
Xue Luoyun's thoughts were interrupted. She wrinkled her brow, then put down the book. It must be a bad thing for these people to suddenly come here.
Xue Ruyun was irritated, but he still stood up. "Sisters, you're such coincidences. Why have you come here today?"
The few of them looked at each other, and Hu Jie was the first to speak, "Earlier, our words were a bit out of proportion, and offended Madam. "After we go back, we will think about it day and night. We feel guilty, so we came here today to apologize to Madam. We hope that Madam can forgive us for that."
After listening to her words, Xue Ruoyun looked at the others, only to see that they all nodded their heads in agreement.
Seeing them act like that, Xue Luoyun didn't say anything more. "You've spoken very seriously, sisters. We're all sisters, how can there be so many grudges? Afterwards, we can get along together."
"Thank you Madam." The few of them stood up and sat in the courtyard as they chatted.
Xue Luoyun had always liked silence. Although he didn't know what he wanted to say to them, it wasn't good to drive them away.
The few of them sat there for a long time, not showing any signs of leaving. However, he saw Wen Minjia looking around absentmindedly.
"Yun Zhi, go tell the servants to prepare the banquet." That's right, there's no need to prepare Prince's meals today, because Prince is going to stay at the palace for dinner and won't come back. " Xue Luoyun explained in detail.
"Yes, ma'am." Yun Zhi agreed and was about to leave.
"Madam, it's getting late, we should go back." At this time, Hu Jie Gan stood up, smiled and was about to leave.
"Then we'll take our leave as well." The others all bowed.
"Alright." Xue Luoyun waved his hand.
Seeing them walk out, Yun Zhi was puzzled, "Huh? Why are they suddenly leaving?"
"Hehe, because the Prince won't come anymore." Xue Ruyun rubbed his sore temples, stretched, and said.
"What does this have to do with the prince?" Yun Zhi was puzzled.
"Do you think they came to apologize so kindly? I just wanted to take this opportunity to get close to you, your highness. " Xue Luoyun had long since seen through their wishful thinking.
His Royal Highness never went to their courtyard, and only during the festivals, or during the fifteenth year of the new year, did everyone gather together for a banquet. Apart from this, the few of them rarely saw the prince in front of them.
At present, the Prince came to visit him every day, so they pretended to have a good relationship with him. In reality, they wanted to take this opportunity to get close to him.
"So that's how it is. Like I said, how could their temperament change so greatly?" Yun Zhi was suddenly enlightened. I was wondering why they were all dressed up so beautifully.
"Why didn't that woman just expose them?" Yun Zhi asked angrily when she found out the truth of their faces.
"Because, if I expose them, they will definitely not admit to it. Instead, they will say that I am jealous, that I am narrow-minded, so they can only allow me to do as they wish." Xue Luoyun shook his head.
I just hope they don't come every day.
But what was Xue Ruyun afraid of? On the second day, she had just prepared to read a book. Luo Qianzi took a book and came to ask for her opinion.
Xue Luoyun was helpless, so she could only chat with her for the entire day.
In the following days, there would be people coming to find Xue Luoyun every day, and he was too tired to respond.
