Chapter 289

Finally Charming Her (1)

“Among the people, there are ordinary merchants who only have a few silvers and yet they can marry more than one wife. Your Majesty, who is of noble descent as the emperor should be able to marry more than one woman like any ordinary man. It couldn’t be that Your Majesty only wants to marry one woman, right…?”

These were simple words that were left unspoken in the hearts of all the Mo Country ministers!

For so many years, they have tried to propose concubines every year and yet they have been unsuccessful every time. The whole Mo Country belongs to Mo Linyuan’s. During royal court meetings he would listen and obey requests in relations to cultural deputies giving propositions. Yet when it came to marriage they have all suffered bitter hardship and continuous rejection! His Majesty may have fallen in love with Ye Mu, but why did he have to delay marrying another woman?

The Zhao Country’s princess looked intently at Mo Linyuan, praying that he would change his mind. Since marrying one is ok, why not marry two?

Worse case she wouldn’t get in the way of the other woman, wouldn’t that suffice?!

Mo Linyuan laughed softly. His slender finger tapped on his forehead. He held a helpless expression as he regarded those beneath him.

“This monarch is a single man with a single heart, who can only accept one person. I have no room to accept another woman.”

His words were truly astonishing! Only one woman… How can this be possible? Furthermore, how can there only be a single woman in the heart of the monarch?

Ye Mu’s heart was pounding. Could it be that it was her ideologies that changed him, which was why Mo Linyuan had embraced this concept of taking only one woman for the rest of his life?!

As for the Zhao Country’s Princess, she was stunned at how insignificant she was compared to Ye Mu. She was used to being doted on by someone ever since she was young. Yet, she had never heard of a man who could possibly only hold one woman in his heart!

This Mo Country’s monarch… was he not afraid of becoming a laughing stock?

But it was undeniable that she was jealous of this girl she never met. What witchcraft did she use to capture his heart?

The Zhao Country’s minister held a confused expression, not understanding why Mo Linyuan was self-deprecating himself like so. After a period of time, not know how to respond, Mo Linyuan responded with good-nature,

“When I had nothing, it was her who stayed beside me. Even when I was facing a crisis, she supported me through it. Finally, now that I possess power, the one who should remain by my side is none other than her! Regardless of life or death situations, she has never left. How could this monarch possibly hurt her simply because of power?”

“But…” the Zhao Country’s minister uttered, but couldn’t complete his sentence.

Mo Linyuan continued with his speech,

“You want to say, ‘But she is a simple woman? If I simply give her supreme power and pamper her, she should be content?’”

Mo Linyuan snickered, “Like others, I had thought so too… but she is an exception. So what if I favor her above others? If I were to take another woman, she would be hurt, and I do not want to hurt her.”

His declaration has left everyone speechless. If a simple civilian had said this, he would be laughed at… but it was the emperor of the country. He was strong, outstanding, handsome, and friendly. In addition, he was one of the most exceptional men in the world.

Before, they still held bitterness towards Mo Linyuan, but after seeing the firmness in his eyes, the bitterness towards his ideologies gradually dissipated.

Someone who dared to confront his own feelings, who was not shaken by his environment, and who dared to embrace new ideologies… was truly powerful and admirable!

At least for the Zhao Country’s princess, when she heard Mo Linyuan’s words, her heartbeat fluttered for a long time. She had always been suppressed as a woman herself. The thought of him possibly indulging in her that way made her internally smile!

So jealous! I am a royal princess and yet, I am so jealous of this other person!
