Who knows, my family members, the host is forced to love again

Chapter 176 The Queen Mother He Escaped Again 03

After dinner.

Jun Chengyan finally got his wish and stayed with Lu Huaiyuan.

He was happy in his heart, and the smile on his face was more sincere.

However, he was not happy for long, because before going to bed, Lu Huaiyuan drove him out.

Jun Chengyan stood at the door of the bedroom, looking very reluctant and a little aggrieved.

"Ayuan, it's too cold outside, can you let me in?"

Lu Huaiyuan: "Since Your Majesty feels cold, please return to your own bedroom."

"If I delay here and freeze your dragon body, I will be guilty."

Jun Chengyan looked at the person standing at the door, and his tone couldn't help but be a little cautious: "A Yuan, did I make you unhappy in some way?"

Seeing that Lu Huaiyuan didn't say anything, he thought for a moment and continued, "Are you unhappy because of what happened last night?"

"I know I was wrong and almost offended you, but I apologize to you, okay? Please don't be angry with me, okay?"

Jun Chengyan felt annoyed and explained, "I drank a few too many glasses of wine yesterday and acted a little impulsively. I..."

"His Majesty."

Lu Huaiyuan spoke, interrupting what he was about to say.

"What happened yesterday did make me feel a little unhappy, but you don't seem to see the problem clearly."

As he spoke, he looked up at the person in front of him and said word by word: "You are the emperor, but this is the empress dowager's bedroom. If you stay here now, it will easily cause gossip. Do you understand?"

Lu Huaiyuan asked a question, but his tone was unquestionable.

Jun Chengyan didn't expect him to say that and was stunned for a moment.

He pinched his palms and then said, "Ayuan, didn't you not care about these things before? We..."

Lu Huaiyuan: "I didn't understand it before, but now you are the emperor, you still have to pay attention to your reputation."

Jun Chengyan retorted: "But I don't care."

"But I care." Lu Huaiyuan said seriously, "Jun Chengyan, you are the emperor now, the ruler of a country. You should put the world first and cherish yourself even more. You don't want to be infamous for eternity, do you?"

He couldn't help but sigh, and then said, "Or do you want to share this eternal infamy with me and be despised by everyone?"

Jun Chengyan fell silent upon hearing this.

He may not care about himself, but he doesn't want the other person to be scolded because of it.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lu Huaiyuan added: "Besides, you have to go to court in the morning, which will disturb my rest."

Jun Chengyan: "..."

For some reason, he always felt that this sentence was the key point.

But anyway, he really couldn't refute this.

Thinking of this, Jun Chengyan still tried to fight for it: "Ayuan, I can speak quietly and not make any noise, or I can sleep in the outer hall."

"Don't worry, I will be careful in my behavior in the future and won't let people gossip about me."

Lu Huaiyuan refused decisively: "No."

Jun Chengyan wanted to say more, but the other party spoke first: "Your Majesty, it's getting late now. You should go back to your bedroom and rest."

"It's even darker here, and the dew is heavier. If you catch a cold standing here, that would be bad."

Lu Huaiyuan smiled at him and said, "Go to bed early. I won't see you off."

Jun Chengyan was dazzled by the smile and couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.

By the time he reacted, there was only a closed door in front of him.

Seeing this, Jun Chengyan stood still, but a hint of imperceptible madness appeared in his eyes.

[The target's blackening value has been detected to be +10, and the current blackening value is 40. Please lower the blackening value as soon as possible!]

The system's voice sounded in his mind. Lu Huaiyuan raised his eyes and glanced at the door, but his expression did not change.

But he was not in a hurry, but the system felt that it could not bear to watch it anymore.

[Host, why do you refuse the mission target? ]

[He just wanted to stay in the same room with you, and this was such a great opportunity to complete a mission, why did you...]

Lu Huaiyuan was obviously a little impatient when listening to it.

[016, Don’t you think you talk too much?]

He looked lazy, but his tone was completely different from his usual casualness.

016 felt nervous, but still tried to persuade him.

【Stay...】

As soon as he said this, Lu Huaiyuan threw him into the small dark room.

The system data shook, and it almost went offline.

Lu Huaiyuan snorted lightly, his expression seeming very indifferent.

Outside the house, Jun Chengyan stood there, but did not move.

An Chang, who was standing by, saw with his own eyes that his Majesty was driven out by the Empress Dowager and was now being locked outside the door.

He didn't dare to step forward to persuade her, so he could only try to reduce his presence.

Jun Chengyan stared at the door in front of him, feeling mixed emotions.

It's not that he couldn't hear the other party's excuse.

The door in front of me can't really block anything.

He could understand this problem, and the people in the room could naturally see it as well.

But the other party still chose to do so, and it was obvious that he was certain that he would not really do anything.

But in fact, he would only condone the other party's behavior.

Thinking of this, Jun Chengyan couldn't help but sigh, but in the end he could only turn around and leave.

Lu Huaiyuan couldn't help but lower his eyes as he listened to the person outside the door leaving.

He lowered his head, making it impossible to see his true emotions at the moment.

-----------------

Since that day, Jun Chengyan never stayed overnight in Lu Huaiyuan's palace again.

Their affairs have long been known to the entire court. In fact, it makes no difference whether they avoid suspicion or not.

But Jun Chengyan naturally didn't want to force Lu Huaiyuan to do something he didn't want to do.

However, he often went to Lu Huaiyuan on weekdays.

If by chance, the two of them could even have a meal together.

If unfortunate, he would have to stay alone in the bedroom or go out to look for someone.

After Jun Pingxuan died, Jun Chengyan arranged for his concubines to live outside the palace.

As for the other princes and princesses, they all moved out of the palace after they grew up.

Jun Chengyan's biological mother has passed away, so now there are only two masters in the palace, Lu Huaiyuan and Jun Chengyan.

Without all the miscellaneous people and things to take care of, Lu Huaiyuan's life was leisurely, but not leisurely either.

His affair with Jun Chengyan is now known to everyone.

Although no one dared to gossip about them in front of him, who knew how they were plotting against them in private.

Lu Huaiyuan felt that if he was walking on the street now, if someone recognized his identity, they would probably throw rotten vegetable leaves at him.

But to be honest, if Lu Huaiyuan really wanted to be with Jun Chengyan, there are still many ways.

However, he was not sincere in his treatment of Jun Chengyan, and asked her to marry him, the Queen Mother, as her queen in a fair and open manner, just to ruin Jun Chengyan's reputation.

Anyway, his own reputation had been ruined a long time ago, so he naturally didn't mind dragging Jun Chengyan into it.

However, Lu Huaiyuan does not have this idea now.

So the marriage was delayed.

But Jun Chengyan seemed very persistent about this.

-----------------

time.

Lu Huaiyuan was enjoying the cool air in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, while Jun Chengyan sat beside him.

Telling him some interesting stories.

Although Lu Huaiyuan felt a little embarrassed to hear the gossip told by the emperor himself, he still listened with great interest.

Jun Chengyan glanced at the person opposite him who looked very happy, and couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

He paused, then continued, "A few days ago, Master Jiang's granddaughter got married. It was quite a lively occasion."

Hearing his words, Lu Huaiyuan raised his eyes and couldn't help but become interested.

Jun Chengyan smiled, but didn't keep the secret. Instead, he said, "I heard that on the wedding day, a woman brought her child and broke into the ceremony hall, accusing the groom of abandoning his wife and child."

Lu Huaiyuan's eyes turned slightly and asked, "What happened next?"

Jun Chengyan said, "Since that woman dared to trespass into the Grand Tutor's residence and cause a scene at the wedding banquet, she must have come prepared."

"Everything she said was well-founded and she directly exposed the groom's true identity."

His tone was calm, and he simply said, "It is said that Miss Jiang ordered the groom to be arrested on the spot."

"However, as for how the follow-up was handled, there hasn't been any news."

Jun Chengyan: "Taifu Jiang is in his sixties, has many students, and with so many people present, I don't think this matter can be easily covered up."

The Taifu Jiang he mentioned was referring to the current Taifu Jiang Yu.

When Jiang Yu was young, he was the top scholar in the imperial examination. Later, he was promoted all the way and became the Taifu.

He is now in his sixties and can be regarded as a veteran of three dynasties of Dongling Kingdom.

At that time, Jiang Yu's only son became depressed after his wife died of complications during childbirth. He eventually died young, leaving behind only a young daughter.

When Jiang Yu reached middle age, he experienced the pain of losing his son and then his wife.

Overnight, people seem to have aged dozens of years.

Over the years, he and his granddaughter Jiang Shao have depended on each other.

Jiang Shao is sixteen years old this year, which is the right age for marriage.

Jiang Yu chose a husband for her from among a group of talented scholars.

I thought they would be a talented man and a beautiful woman, complementing each other.

But unexpectedly, such a change happened in the middle.

Jiang Yu was already old, and now that he had suffered such a sudden blow, his health had become even worse.

-----------------

This was the Jiang family's family affair, so Jun Chengyan didn't ask any more questions.

After listening to him, Lu Huaiyuan asked, "Then, in your opinion, how should we deal with the groom?"

Jun Chengyan didn't know the real reason behind his question, so he answered truthfully, "It is said that the groom not only abandoned his wife and children, but even hired someone to kill him."

"For someone so heartless, treacherous, and ruthless, beheading him would not be excessive."

As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Lu Huaiyuan: "A Yuan, do you think what I said is right?"

Lu Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is no reason why you should be wrong."

Jun Chengyan looked at the person in front of him and said seriously, "Ayuan, don't worry. After we get married, I will definitely treat you wholeheartedly and will never be a treacherous person."

"If I treat you badly, I will kill myself."

His expression was somewhat gentle, yet also revealed a hint of paranoia: "A Yuan."

Jun Chengyan raised his hand and wanted to hold the person in front of him.

Lu Huaiyuan seemed not to notice, and then stood up and sat by the pond.

He grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it down little by little.

Lu Huaiyuan was lowering his head, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.

He spoke slowly, his tone somewhat ambiguous: "Your Majesty, will the ministers agree to this?"

Jun Chengyan's gaze fell on Lu Huaiyuan and he said, "They will agree."

If you don't agree, just kill him.

Anyway, he must marry this person.

If one person disagreed, he would kill that person; if ten people disagreed, he would kill ten people.

He believed that he would eventually kill them all until the day they agreed.

Thinking of this, the brutality in Jun Chengyan's eyes became even more difficult to conceal.

Lu Huaiyuan felt something was wrong and suddenly turned to look at him, but found nothing unusual.

As early as the moment he turned around, Jun Chengyan had put away all his emotions and returned to his usual gentle self.

Lu Huaiyuan frowned slightly and was about to say something when he heard the other party speak first: "Wait a few days, I will ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate a good date and set our wedding date."

"It's time to start preparing for our wedding."

Lu Huaiyuan's eyes turned slightly, but his expression did not change. He simply said, "Your Majesty, this is probably inappropriate."

Before he could continue, Jun Chengyan interrupted, "What's wrong?"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to Lu Huaiyuan: "Ayuan, I really want to marry you."

Jun Chengyan raised his eyes, staring into the eyes of the person in front of him without blinking, and said, "I have been waiting for this day for a long time, so I don't want to wait any longer."

He stood beside Lu Huaiyuan and stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms.

Lu Huaiyuan frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

But before he could make the next reaction, a sudden voice interrupted the actions of the person in front of him.

"His Majesty!"

An Chang hurried over and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, that person has entered the palace again."

Jun Chengyan's actions were interrupted and he was in a very bad mood.

"What's he doing here again?"

Jun Chengyan spoke, his tone clearly filled with displeasure.

However, Lu Huaiyuan could hear the disgust mixed in the other party's tone.

He felt strange in his heart, but did not show it.

Hearing Jun Chengyan's words, An Chang lowered his head even more: "This..."

"He didn't say anything, and I don't know. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Jun Chengyan asked, "Where are the others?"

An Chang: "I'm waiting for you in the imperial study."

"I understand." Jun Chengyan waved his hand, signaling the other party to leave first.

An Chang stepped aside, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his head.

Jun Chengyan turned to look at Lu Huaiyuan, his expression seemed very gentle, completely different from the cold look just now.

"A Yuan, I have some things to take care of, so I'll leave first."

"You can stay for a while, or go back." He smiled at Lu Huaiyuan and said, "I will go to your palace to have dinner with you later."

Upon hearing this, Lu Huaiyuan asked, "Your Majesty, is there something important that you need to deal with?"

Jun Chengyan's expression paused, then he smiled and said, "This is related to our wedding, so it's naturally a very important matter."

There was a smile on his lips, but if you looked closely, you could see the disgust hidden in his eyes.

Lu Huaiyuan lowered his eyes and said, "In that case, I will not waste your Majesty's time."

Jun Chengyan: "What are you talking about, Ayuan? How can being with you be a waste of time?"

Lu Huaiyuan smiled faintly, but didn't say much.
