"The piano and the sere are in harmony...Uncle Emperor, what are you talking about? I don't like Lu Shaoyuan, and I don't want this marriage."

Shen Ningning's eyelashes trembled, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

Why did the emperor suddenly grant a marriage to her and Lu Shaoyuan?

Probably guessing that Shen Ningning would refuse, the emperor's expression remained unchanged and he still had an approachable smile.

But at this moment, the smile fell in Shen Ningning's eyes, like ice frozen in the sun, with a hint of sharp coldness.

"Ning Ning, I ask myself, I have always treated you well, and I have always responded to your requests, right?"

Shen Ningning nodded slightly, but then said immediately: "But this is not the reason for the emperor's uncle to influence my marriage at will."

There are so many people who are nice to her, does it mean that she has to obey their words and do things?

The emperor sighed: "I am not doing it for you, but for Ling Wei. Ning Ning, don't you know yet that Ling Wei likes you?"

Shen Ningning suddenly opened her pupils, and the color of the scorching sun fell on the girl's eyes, igniting a fire in her heart.

But before he could figure out the reason for the sudden joy, he was silenced by the emperor's next words.

"He has been crowned the crown prince for three years. For your sake, he has never married. So far, there are no concubines in the Zichen Palace. But he is the crown prince, and my country will be given to him in the future. If he does not get married, how can he convince all the officials? , how can you reassure me?"

Shen Ningning bit her lip, the pearl hairpin in her black hair reflected the bright light.

"Uncle Emperor, do you mean that I can't marry my brother?" She had already asked this question.

God knows how much courage it must have taken for a girl to ask this question.

However, the emperor asked her in a deep voice: "Of course I agree to marry him. I want you to be my daughter-in-law. But, Ning Ning, you can only be the crown prince's concubine."

Shen Ningning felt as if someone had poured cold water on her head.

In her eyes, the emperor was like the sun, hanging high in the sky. It seemed to be full of warmth, but in fact, he was too far away, and when the sunlight spread on his body, he still felt cold.

"Why..." Shen Ningning's voice was sour: "Am I not worthy?"

From childhood to adulthood, she changed her destiny through her own efforts.

But the gloomy childhood buried deep in my heart is like a nightmare that will come back at any time.

The emperor's words reminded Shen Ningning of those words that Aunt Qin had scolded her.

【How do you match it. 】

The emperor looked at the thick fog gradually gathering in Shen Ningning's eyes, as if she was about to cry, and the corners of her eyes were smeared red by the light.

But she is particularly strong and will never shed tears in front of outsiders.

At this moment, the slender fingertips were tightly grasping the sleeves.

The emperor sighed: "It's not that you are unworthy, Ning Ning, Ling Wei will be the emperor in the future. Your mother's family is too powerful, I really can't worry about it."

"You should be able to understand my uncle's painstaking efforts, right? As a parent, you should consider the long term for your children. What's more, being a concubine may not necessarily lead to happiness."

"Even if you are the concubine, wouldn't it be great if Ling Wei's heart is with you? Even if I have another daughter-in-law, I will treat you best. You are different."

These words caused a bitter laugh to escape from Shen Ningning's red lips.

"Why should I compete with others for my husband?"

The emperor was startled.

Shen Ningning pursed her lips, her delicate and beautiful face revealed a stubbornness that would never admit defeat.

"My father said that since he married my mother, he has never looked at another woman. My second uncle has only loved one person his whole life."

"My tutor told me that a man can be loyal to a woman. If I choose a husband, I will only be the only one, not a backup, nor a concubine!"

When the emperor saw that Shen Ningning's attitude had become tougher, he felt extremely sorry.

"Ningning, since you don't agree, please consider my other proposal." Shen Ningning took a deep breath, her eyes cold and red: "Uncle Emperor, what do you want me to do? Stay away from my brother? I promise you, I will not affect you. Isn’t it enough that he has a wife?”

The emperor sighed: "Did you know that Ling Wei said that if you don't want to get married, he will always be waiting for you."

"I really hope that he is not a prince, so that he can stay with you forever, but Ning Ning, he carries the country and the country on his back, can you bear to see him violate ethics and keep guarding you?"

Shen Ningning opened her lips, but felt her throat was so bitter that she couldn't say anything.

The emperor continued: "How about I discuss this with you? Since you don't like Lu Shaoyuan either, then I will pretend to marry you and Lu Shaoyuan."

"When the time comes, Ling Wei will naturally give up. When his marriage is finalized, I will make the decision to reconcile you and Lu Shaoyuan, and then choose a suitable husband for you, okay?"

Shen Ningning's heart was broken and she had fallen into the endless ice cave ocean.

The emperor wanted to force Mo Lingwei to marry and put an end to his hesitation, so he had to deal with Shen Ningning.

So, is she willing to become a victim?

If she agreed, where would she put Lu Shaoyuan?

Shen Ningning could no longer hold back, but the trembling tears had already slipped out of her eyes.

It fell on the cold marble table and splashed like snowflakes.

It was snowing in her heart, even in the face of spring.

The emperor's eyes also turned red: "Ning Ning, you must have heard about my illness. I'm afraid I don't have many more years to live. If one day suddenly passes away, Ling Wei will be the person I worry about the most."

"I have already been sorry to his mother, and I can no longer be sorry to him. Ning Ning... you, can you promise me once and treat it as my uncle begging you?"

After the emperor said this, he stood up, lifted up his dragon robe, and knelt down towards Shen Ningning.

If it had been the past, the girl would have helped him up immediately.

But now, she seemed to be frozen, with only her long eyelashes hanging down, her breath trembling, and tears streaming down her face.

"Why does it have to be Lu Shaoyuan?" She finally spoke, her voice hoarse: "I don't want to implicate him. Since it is a fake marriage, then I can choose anyone at will, isn't it okay?"

The emperor smiled bitterly: "Ling Wei is so smart, not to mention his methods. As a father, how can I not know this?"

"If it had been anyone else, he would have turned the world upside down. Whether he believed it or not was secondary. But if it were Lu Shaoyuan, it would be different."

"Ling Wei also knows that you have known each other for a long time, no less than him. Besides, the Lu family has a good career as an official and a businessman."

"Even if I pass away many years later, there is no need to worry about Ling Wei's revenge. Besides, I will support Lu Fu so that you and Lu Shaoyuan can live a better life."

At this point, the emperor looked at her tentatively: "Ning Ning, the second young master of the Lu family also likes you very much."

The sun hanging in the sky, whether it was due to tears, seemed to be covered with red light in Shen Ningning's eyes.

She didn't know how she walked down the hillside, and Wan Chun was also taken away. It must be because the emperor did not allow Wan Chun to know that the person Shen Ningning met today was him.

When Shen Ningning just walked to the entrance of the bamboo garden, she saw a couple watching the bamboo shadows shining in the sun.

The two of them held each other in their arms and smiled sincerely.

Shen Ningning suddenly felt a little confused. She wanted to ask them if they had ever encountered something like her, and if so, how should they deal with it?

She also wanted to ask her mother, what should she do right?

However, it doesn't matter what you ask.

Just now, Shen Ningning was in the pavilion and responded with tears in her eyes: "I will ask Lu Shaoyuan what he means."

The implication is that she accepted the emperor's arrangement.

If Lu Shaoyuan has no objection, then just do as the emperor said.

This time she didn't do it for anyone else, just for Mo Lingwei.

If we meet each other once and there is no fate, just send him a happy journey.
