What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 11

Ye Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.

He was also somewhat puzzled.

The emperor was extremely busy, so why would he suddenly think of him?

In the dream, he hadn’t returned to the capital once in the past two years. He had been wandering around various sects outside.

Being summoned at this time probably wasn’t a good sign.

【Not only were you curious.】

【Even Ye Liangyan felt extremely uneasy.】

【He thought that it must be some minister or prince who had reported something about you to the emperor. So they wanted to take this opportunity to reprimand you.】

【When you arrived at the princess’s mansion, Ye Liangyan repeatedly reminded you.】

【No matter what happens today, you must be cautious, listen humbly, and not act impulsively.】

【The emperor’s health was deteriorating, and his temperament had become very violent. During this period, you must not do anything that would overstep your bounds.】

【You thoughtfully nodded.】

【This was the first time you felt what it was like to tread close to the emperor.】

【You knew that Ye Liangyan had the merit of helping the emperor rise to power and had always been highly favored. Everyone in the Great Qian Dynasty knew that Ye Liangyan was the emperor’s most trusted confidant.】

【Even so, he had to be so careful.】

【Then what about other people?】

【Soon, you and Ye Liangyan got off the carriage.】

【After entering the princess’s mansion, you noticed many eyes filled with hatred focused on you.】

【You were not surprised by this.】

【Among the hundreds of people present, more than half of the ministers were your prospective fathers-in-law. Their daughters had all been involved with you.】

【As for why only half of them.】

【The reason was simple.】

【Some ministers’ daughters were unattractive and you couldn’t bring yourself to act.】

【Those women who had been in relationships with you, still kept in touch with you.】

【They loved you deeply, but you never married any of them.】

【This made many people very angry.】

【If Ye Liangyan didn’t hold such a high position in the Great Qian Dynasty, those people would have long spent a lot of spirit stones to buy your life.】

【The birthday banquet soon began.】

【There, you saw Princess Li Ruowang.】

【A childhood memory surged up.】

【Twenty years ago, the emperor had not yet ascended to the throne and was just a prince. He had a very good relationship with Ye Liangyan, and often went to the Ye mansion to eat.】

【And he always brought a little girl with him.】

【That little girl was Li Ruowang.】

【Because you were of similar age, Ye Liangyan would have you play with Li Ruowang.】

【But you decisively refused this suggestion.】

【In your eyes, boys should play with boys. You didn’t want to play with girls.】

【But Ye Liangyan immediately made you understand what fatherly love was. Forced to compromise, you reluctantly agreed.】

【But when you reached a secluded area, you would immediately ignore Li Ruowang and go play hide-and-seek with the servants’ children.】

【Li Ruowang was not angry about this. She would quietly sit and watch you play.】

【She seemed to enjoy it very much.】

【Every time she came over after that, she would sit in one place, watching you play.】

【She never disturbed you.】

【Gradually, you got used to having someone by your side.】

【But later.】

【When the emperor ascended to the throne, he stopped coming to the Ye mansion for meals due to living in the deep palace and the hierarchy.】

【So, you never saw Princess Li Ruowang again.】

【Unexpectedly, twenty years had passed in the blink of an eye.】

【That little girl who used to sit quietly and watch you play, had grown into such a stunning beauty.】

Seeing Li Ruowang in the scene.

Ye Yu couldn’t help but be slightly entranced.

Zhu Diezhen’s beauty was domineering and sharp.

But Li Ruowang’s beauty was serene and elegant, making one want to protect her.

Honestly, it seemed somewhat unscientific.

The emperor’s face was not much better than a car accident scene. How could he have such a beautiful daughter?

【Seeing your gaze fixed on Li Ruowang, Ye Liangyan came to your side, reminding you not to have any wild thoughts.】

【Li Ruowang was the emperor’s most beloved daughter.】

【In the entire palace, she was the only princess over twenty who hadn’t married.】

【Sons of court ministers, princes from other countries, and even saints from sacred lands had all sought Li Ruowang’s hand.】

【But without exception, they were all rejected.】

【If they couldn’t succeed, what made you, a hedonistic lover, think you could?】

【You smiled.】

【Ye Liangyan’s words, though unpleasant, were true.】

【The Great Qian Dynasty was powerful, princes could have many concubines, but a prince consort could only marry one princess.】

【That was the rule.】

【In recent years, you indulged in pleasures beyond what others could enjoy in ten lifetimes.】

【But your reputation was not good. In terms of both emotions and logic, you couldn’t sit in the position of prince consort.】

【Moreover, you couldn’t accept that kind of life.】

【The birthday banquet was dull.】

【Sitting beside Ye Liangyan, you felt restless.】

【You finally endured until the end.】

【As the banquet was about to conclude.】

【The emperor suddenly waved his hand and, supported by several eunuchs, slowly stood up.】

【He was obese, with a head full of white hair, looking like an old man on the brink of death.】

【It was hard to believe he was the same age as Ye Liangyan. It seemed the old injury had caused irreversible damage to his body.】

【This also indicated that it wouldn’t be long before a new emperor emerged.】

【The emperor managed a slight smile.】

【He raised his hand and pointed to Li Ruowang beside him.】

【He told the ministers present that Li Ruowang was already twenty-seven years old this year.】

【In the cultivation world, this age might still be very young.】

【But in an ordinary family, she might have children attending the academy by now.】

【So, he took this opportunity to settle her marriage and put an end to the concerns of unrelated people.】

【Today, he decreed that Li Ruowang would be married to Ye Liangyan’s son, Ye Yu!】

【When they heard the last sentence, everyone present was stunned.】

【Even you couldn’t believe your ears.】

【How could there be a sudden royal marriage decree?】

【Was this the true reason the emperor had summoned you?】

【Ye Liangyan’s expression turned uncertain.】

【Being in a high position for so long, he considered more things than you did.】

【Soon enough.】

【Countless ministers immediately petitioned, hoping the emperor would rescind his order.】

【The reason was simple: your reputation was too poor, and you were too promiscuous, making you unsuitable to be a prince consort.】

【The emperor waved his hand slightly.】

【Eight peak Integration Realm cultivators quickly rose into the air.】

【They were dressed in red robes, holding various artifacts, and their cold gazes swept across the room.】

【The Blood Guards, the emperor’s most lethal force.】

【No one knew their exact numbers, but every time they appeared, many lives were taken.】

【Seeing their presence, the previously noisy scene quickly quieted down.】
