"I'll go and do it right away!" Wang Yue nodded and quickly went to make the arrangements.
After watching him leave, Lin Yi's gaze fell on Princess Anne's portrait, a strange smile appearing in his eyes.
He summoned the maids waiting outside and said in a deep voice, "Go and fetch the two empresses. Today, I wish to accompany them to admire the flowers!"
"As you command!"
The maidservants dared not delay and quickly went to invite the two empresses.
Cai Yan and Mingzhu arrived quickly.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects!"
The two looked at the study in front of them and were dumbfounded. Why were they admiring flowers in the study? This was clearly illogical.
The two sisters exchanged a glance, both looking completely bewildered.
Now both of them are empresses, and their palace attire makes them not only incomparably beautiful but also more elegant and noble. Ordinary people don't even dare to look directly at them.
Of course, this was ineffective against Lin Yi.
Looking at his two women, a warm glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. He pulled them into his arms and said with a smile, "I invited you here to admire the flowers today, but I didn't expect you to be even more beautiful than the flowers themselves. You've truly mesmerized me."
These two are truly capable wives. Not only did they manage the daily newspapers in both the North and South, but they also suppressed the powerful families in both regions. They were incredibly dedicated and worked very hard.
"Your Majesty, you had honey tea today, didn't you?" Cai Yan asked with a chuckle as her beautiful eyes sparkled.
"Oh, what do you mean?"
Cai Yan glanced at him and said softly, "Otherwise, how could Your Majesty be so sweet-talking? Your words always warm my heart."
"Haha, what a wonderful honey tea! I'm rewarding you with this today!"
Lin Yi was dumbfounded. This woman had actually learned his own patented cheesy pickup lines. No wonder she was a talented woman.
After saying that, he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. How dare she flirt with me! She's incredibly audacious.
"Your Majesty, you must bestow your favors equally upon all!"
Princess Shenle, her beautiful eyes beaming with smiles, seemed oblivious to everything, but she burrowed her head into Lin Yi, finding a better spot.
Smack!
Seeing that even the proud and Princess Shenle was acting cute, Lin Yi generously bestowed a reward upon her, laughing, "This reward is free. We can kiss each other for a lifetime; your lips will be swollen from all the kisses."
Pfft!
Princess Shenle couldn't help but chuckle. Her man was not only powerful, but also incredibly witty and tolerant. She had truly met a wonderful man.
She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your Majesty, you invited us sisters to admire the flowers, not to see you, Your Majesty, are you?"
This isn't the right place.
Why!
Lin Yi sighed, handed over the portrait of Princess Anne beside him, and laughed, "To be honest, your husband has fallen for a honey trap today. Look at this woman, she's probably lusting after me!"
Honey trap!
These words instantly stiffened the two empresses, who immediately became serious and looked at the woman in the portrait, their expressions turning solemn.
This woman has a great figure, and her breasts are quite large!
Cai Yan glanced thoughtfully at her chest, then frowned slightly. "Looks like I'll have to give her some leeway."
Princess Shenle's gaze was sharp as lightning. This woman's ambition was practically overflowing, as if she wanted everyone to know she knew a bit of swordsmanship. She seemed a bit arrogant.
"Your Majesty, who is this gentleman?"
"This is Princess Anne, the youngest princess of the Frostwest Empire. She will be entering Great Liang as an envoy this time. I'm afraid her intentions are not good. I am very worried!" Lin Yi sighed and said with a troubled expression.
Shenle rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Your Majesty, I bet you're quite pleased with yourself. This is a great beauty, and she fits your aesthetic perfectly—she's exceptionally large."
puff!
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but spit out his tea. This woman actually made a sexual innuendo; this was utter slander.
He said irritably, "I was planning to hand her over to you sisters, and maybe use that to deceive or threaten her. She is, after all, a princess of a nation. It's rather inappropriate for Zhang Fei to receive her."
"I see!"
Upon hearing this, the two women immediately became serious, their gazes falling on the portrait as they examined it carefully.
After examining the portrait carefully, Cai Yan smiled and said, "Judging from the portrait, she's an ambitious young girl. She's skilled in swordsmanship, and her gaze is resolute. She's clearly not a simple character. Plus, she said that only by defeating her can he marry her. She's obviously a strong-willed woman. She's a carbon copy of some people."
She glanced at Princess Shenle beside her. "Isn't this my little sister?"
My copy?
Princess Shenle was both amused and exasperated, but had to admit that there was indeed a resemblance.
It's not just her background, but also her strong personality; there's something about her that's somewhat interesting. However, there's one thing she can't agree with.
She laughed and said, "My sister said that her vow was a testament to her strong will, but Mingzhu would say that it also proves her weakness. This is probably her only resistance to her royal status."
To put it bluntly, she's just a girl who can't control her own destiny, yet she's somewhat unwilling to accept it. Saying she's a carbon copy of me is somewhat true.
Huh!
Upon hearing Shenle's words, Lin Yi's eyes lit up. This woman had hit the nail on the head; she actually had some insight.
Princess Anne created this rule because she couldn't change her fate but was unwilling to accept it, while striving to improve herself in an attempt to control her destiny.
This woman is quite interesting.
He couldn't help but laugh, "This is a princess full of rebellion! Indeed, women understand women better."
That's good too; it's more reliable to let women deal with women, so that Westerners don't remain narrow-minded.
"Hehe, if His Majesty can win over this princess, he will surely be able to conquer the Frostwest Empire in the future!" Princess Shenle sighed softly.
This is a genuine princess, a daughter born to the emperor and queen, with absolute right of succession.
Once we win over Princess Anne, the Frostwest Empire will be ours for the taking.
Upon hearing his words, a smile flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and he said quietly, " The Frostwest Empire is different from the Great Ning Dynasty. Great Ning is one of our own, so I will take better care of them."
However, the Frostwest Empire is a foreign race, and I have no intention of playing games with them. If they come, we'll just fight them head-on."
She's just a woman from another land; what woman can't I have in the future? That's nothing to me.
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for showing mercy. I am deeply grateful!"
Princess Shenle was both amused and exasperated. What she said made sense. It seemed that her man had shown mercy back then; otherwise, Great Ning would have suffered an even more tragic fate.
If their own army of over a million men were to sweep down, Great Ning would have absolutely no ability to resist and would be utterly crushed.
After all, the army of Great Ning was scattered. Under the impact of a million-strong army, it was no joke. If they broke through one point and covered the whole area, they would almost be swept away.
