Chapter 201 The target of the mission forced the host to love 03
In fact, they are not indifferent to when Xiao Muhuai will marry a princess and who she will marry.
But compared with Jun Chengyan's selection of concubines, the matter of the regent who has little say seems less important.
Therefore, many people in the court stood up and echoed Xiao Muhuai's words, wanting Jun Chengyan to participate in the selection.
Those ministers who did not agree out loud actually agreed in their hearts.
However, they know better how to weigh the pros and cons, and for the time being, they are still assessing the situation.
As Jun Chengyan listened to the ministers' persuasion, his face became increasingly gloomy.
There was a surge of violence in his eyes, and a faint sense of oppression that was about to come.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, the ministers who spoke in agreement felt inexplicably panicked.
They seemed to be able to sense Jun Chengyan's displeasure, but before they could figure out what to do, the person in a higher position suddenly spoke.
"I had no idea that the ministers could even reach into my harem!"
Jun Chengyan raised his eyes, his gaze cold and gloomy: "Why don't you take the throne?"
After he finished speaking, there was silence in the hall for two seconds, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
But in the next moment, all the ministers in the court knelt down.
"I am frightened!"
"I have absolutely no such intention. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"
"Please spare my life, Your Majesty!"
.........
Jun Chengyan looked at the huge group of people kneeling below, and his annoyance reached its peak.
He brought up the topic deliberately, intending to use the opportunity to arrange a marriage for Xiao Muhuai and alienate the relationship between them.
But he didn't expect that the other party would outmaneuver him, which caused him a big setback.
Thinking of this, Jun Chengyan narrowed his eyes and looked at the only person standing in the hall. The murderous intent in his eyes was so rampant that he could no longer hide it.
Xiao Muhuai raised his eyes and looked at him from afar, with a faint smile on his lips.
Jun Chengyan saw a hint of provocation in it and couldn't help but clench his fists, with hatred growing in his heart.
A divine power suddenly flew out, but when it approached Xiao Muhuai, it was blocked back silently.
Seeing this, Jun Chengyan frowned, but ultimately did not make any other small movements.
-----------------
Because of the mention of the talent show, the atmosphere of the entire morning court was somewhat depressing.
Jun Chengyan was feeling pent up in anger, with nowhere to vent it.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he looked unhappy.
But as the saying goes, one should not punish too many people. Even if Jun Chengyan was angry, he couldn't let all these ministers be dragged out and beheaded!
So in the end, he was the only one who got angry.
Jun Chengyan severely criticized the officials in charge and docked their salaries.
However, Xiao Muhuai, the person who provoked the dispute, "hid" behind the scenes, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.
In fact, Jun Chengyan also wanted to punish Xiao Muhuai.
However, as the regent of Dongling, Xiao Muhuai holds military power, is his uncle, and has Lu Huaiyuan's secret assistance, so he must be extremely cautious in his actions.
Even though he hated Xiao Muhuai to the core, he couldn't get rid of him openly.
Xiao Muhuai looked at Jun Chengyan's angry look, which looked like "I can't stand you, but I can't get rid of you", and his mood couldn't help but improve a little.
He curled his lips slightly, and a smile finally appeared at the corner of his mouth.
-----------------
Down towards the back.
When Xiao Muhuai returned to the palace, Lu Huaiyuan was still sleeping soundly.
He squatted beside the bed, his fingers gently stroking the contours of Lu Huaiyuan's face.
Looking at the well-behaved person in front of him, all his unhappiness from this morning disappeared.
Xiao Muhuai smiled lightly, and his expression softened a lot.
However, perhaps because he felt that someone was disturbing him, Lu Huaiyuan frowned a little unhappily.
The corners of Xiao Muhuai's mouth couldn't help but rise, but he saw him flip over onto the bed and lie directly next to Lu Huaiyuan.
He hugged the person from behind and buried his head in the other's neck.
Xiao Muhuai put his arms around Lu Huaiyuan's waist and gently sniffed his scent, but his eyes gradually darkened.
"A Yuan," he said slowly, his tone somewhat ambiguous, "Do you want to be the emperor?"
After he finished speaking, Lu Huaiyuan's confused voice came.
"Um……"
"Ok?"
Xiao Muhuai's words went around in Lu Huaiyuan's mind for a few times, and finally gave him a shock.
He suddenly opened his eyes and couldn't help asking, "What did you ask me just now?"
Xiao Muhuai reached out and pressed down a bunch of his hair, then repeated what he had just said.
"A Yuan, do you want to be emperor?"
Hearing this, Lu Huaiyuan made a quick decision and said, "I don't want to."
What kind of emperor?
Is this the kind of life he would live, where he gets up earlier than the chickens and sleeps later than the dogs?
It's outrageous!
Thinking of this, Lu Huaiyuan turned to look at Xiao Muhuai, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes.
Could it be that this person was planning to assassinate him?
Can't you?
Besides, he hasn't done anything excessive recently, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Huaiyuan's eyes rolled around, making Xiao Muhuai laugh.
However, before he could say anything, he heard the person in front of him say, "Xiao Muhuai, are you planning to usurp the throne?"
Xiao Muhuai: "Not really."
He paused for a moment and added, "However, this still depends on A Yuan's wishes."
Lu Huaiyuan: “…”
It's not possible that he would just go and seize the throne just because he said he wanted to, right?
Lu Huaiyuan thought so and asked the question.
Xiao Muhuai raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but didn't say anything, but his meaning was obvious.
Lu Huaiyuan didn't know why he suddenly brought up this matter, but he still said truthfully: "I don't want to."
As he spoke, he shook his head: "Being an emperor is too hard, it's not suitable for me! I guess I'm only fit to eat and wait for death."
Hearing this, Xiao Muhuai couldn't help but feel a little amused.
But he didn't say anything more and didn't comment on it.
Lu Huaiyuan looked at him and asked uncertainly, "Xiao Muhuai, do you want to be the emperor?"
Xiao Muhuai did not answer this question, but instead asked: "Then when the time comes, A Yuan, are you willing to be the queen?"
Lu Huaiyuan thought for a moment and didn't say anything too confidently: "Not necessarily."
Xiao Muhuai: "..."
However, based on his understanding of Lu Huaiyuan, this answer seemed to be expected.
He sighed softly, his voice revealing some helplessness: "You!"
Lu Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows but didn't say much.
However, he could sense that Xiao Muhuai was acting strangely, so he asked, "What happened at the court this morning?"
Xiao Muhuai paused and did not answer his question immediately.
Lu Huaiyuan was not in a hurry. He just turned around slightly and took the person into his arms.
Xiao Muhuai was silent for a moment, and finally said: "A Yuan, Jun Chengyan wants to arrange a marriage for me."
His tone didn't change, but if you listened carefully, you could detect a hint of grievance in it.
