A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

Chapter 21 King Ze fell in love at first sight?

Late at night, Yuan Huaijun left Ninglu Palace and went directly to the Imperial Study, where he was listening to a report from his shadow guards.

"What woman in red?"

"It's still unclear. He doesn't look like someone from Yuanqi, and neither the general nor the princess knows him."

His eyes were as deep as an abyss, and his expression remained calm as still water.

"If we don't know him and he has no purpose, then so be it. By the way, when did he arrive in the capital?"

"Last night, for some reason, I entered the palace this morning, but did not go to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. I left shortly afterward."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Huaijun narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly lost in thought, before finally saying, "Continue to keep an eye on the Prince's mansion's actions."

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, the Prince Lie's mansion was brightly lit...

"No, Third Brother, don't you think Lou Shenghan went too far? I just woke up and a whole room full of women rushed in, it almost scared me to death. Those women were the ones Lou Shenghan didn't want, and you're not even giving me justice!"

The man sitting opposite Yuan Huailie shouted loudly in dissatisfaction, his originally affectionate peach blossom eyes becoming abnormally distorted with anger.

"Sixth Brother, those he touched were all sent out of the manor. But those people in your manor, that guy specially sent you the ones he hadn't touched. Aren't you happy about that?"

Yuan Huaize, waving his fan, smiled warmly as he teased the furious Sixth Prince, Yuan Huaiyu.

"Hmph! Those that haven't been touched are the ones Lou Shenghan didn't want, who would want them!"

"Oh? If you're so capable, then don't touch those delicate and beautiful women."

Yuan Huaiyu was speechless. Actually, those women were all very beautiful, so it wasn't entirely unacceptable...

Seeing his expression, Yuan Huaize couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hehehe~ You little rascal!"

The room's owner, Yuan Huailie, remained silent, pondering the events of the morning in the palace. How could Xin Moyan have become like this?

Seeing that he remained silent, Yuan Huaiyu reached out and patted Yuan Huailie's shoulder, saying, "What's wrong, Third Brother? You haven't said a word since you came in. I heard that you broke off your engagement with Princess Danhua. Isn't that something to be happy about?"

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Yuan Huailie simply poured himself a glass of wine and drank it. It was indeed a good thing, but he felt no joy whatsoever.

Yuan Huaize glanced at him and said leisurely to Yuan Huaiyu, "Little Six, you don't know, Princess Danhua has changed a lot now!"

"Change what? No matter how much it changes, it's still the same awful thing!"

Yuan Huaiyu curled his lip in disdain. He hated Xin Moyan the most. It was because of their engagement that his third brother had been unable to marry the woman he loved. Now that the engagement was over, his third brother could marry a new sister-in-law soon...

"Hey, Xiao Liu, Xin Moyan's appearance now is more than a thousand times more beautiful than the beauties in your manor. Even I, the king, have fallen for her!"

Yuan Huaiyu froze instantly, staring wide-eyed at Yuan Huaize in front of him. What nonsense was Fifth Brother spouting?

"Fifth...Fifth Brother, what are you saying? You...you...you said you like Xin Moyan?"

Yuan Huaize smiled slightly, raised his cup and clinked it against the two wine glasses on the table. He slowly drank it down and continued, "Danhua was indeed lovely and beautiful today. If she remains the same in the future, I will naturally grow to like her."

"boom!"

Just as Yuan Huailie was about to raise his cup to drink, upon hearing his words, he slammed the cup down on the table with a loud thud, splashing wine everywhere.

"Hey! Third Brother, are you jealous or something?"

Yuan Huaize spoke casually, but his eyes were fixed on Yuan Huailie's face, seemingly unintentionally.

"Ha! Today's actions are nothing but that woman's trick, Fifth Brother, don't be fooled by her."

"Whether she's lying or not, I don't know, but it's true that Xin Moyan's appearance has become absolutely stunning. In addition, she is very poised and has an outstanding temperament today. As the saying goes, food and sex are human nature, so it's only natural that I fell in love with her at first sight."

"Fifth Brother, are you... possessed?"

Yuan Huaiyu's eyes widened. What was going on? He hadn't been to the palace for a single day. What was happening?

Yuan Huailie's face was also extremely ugly. After a long while, he finally managed to utter, "Fifth Brother, are you serious?"

Yuan Huaize simply smiled and remained silent, believing that Xin Moyan was definitely not simple!

Yuan Huaiyu was full of questions, but he wouldn't let it go and kept pressing his two elder brothers for answers.

"Tell me quickly, what's going on with Xin Moyan? Has she really become so beautiful? Third Brother, tell me!"

When he saw his third brother nod slightly, Yuan Huaiyu was incredulous. Xin Moyan always wore heavy makeup and dressed flamboyantly, but now even his third brother nodded in agreement, proving that she had indeed become more beautiful.

However, he was still very curious about what was going on.

"Then...besides her becoming more beautiful, are there any other differences?"

"Well-mannered, articulate, generous and elegant, with exceptional poise..."

"..."

Yuan Huaiyu was stunned. His fifth brother was always easy-going and kind, but he had never praised any woman so excessively. Could it be that... his fifth brother was possessed by a ghost?

"Fifth brother, have you gone mad?"

Yuan Huailie thought he was crazy. Even though Xin Moyan had changed so much today, she would never let the fifth brother fall in love at first sight.

"Hehehe~ Hasn't Xiao Liu always been fond of beautiful women? If Xiao Liu sees Dan Hua, he will naturally understand what I'm saying tonight."

Yuan Huaiyu's curiosity about Xin Moyan grew stronger and stronger. He was determined to see that woman. How could his brothers' impression of her have changed so quickly after only a few days?

After a moment's thought, Yuan Huaiyu said with a grin, "Third Brother, now that you've broken off your engagement with Xin Moyan, I think you'll be marrying Sister Qin Wu soon, right?"

"Of course! In my heart, there is only Wu'er as my choice for princess. If it weren't for Xin Moyan's relentless pursuit back then, I wouldn't have made Wu'er wait so long under the pretext of the three-year mourning period. In a few days, I will ask my brother for permission to marry Wu'er."

Yuan Huaize glanced at him and said calmly, "Third brother, don't forget that the second young lady of the Qin family is born out of wedlock. No matter how much we marry, the emperor and the empress will definitely not let the second young lady of the Qin family become the princess consort of the Prince Lie."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Huailie's previous annoyance towards Xin Moyan vanished, replaced by a deep frown and a very serious expression.

"Whether one is born of a legitimate or illegitimate child is not a choice for Wu'er. If Wu'er is not allowed to become the Princess Consort of Lie because of this, then I will not marry a legitimate wife!"

"With such deep affection and care from Third Brother, Sister Qin Wu has truly lived a worthwhile life!"

Yuan Huaiyu let out an exaggerated sigh, but still gave him some serious advice.

"Third brother, if the emperor and mother do not agree, you can take a step back and ask for Qin Wu to be a concubine. After she gives birth to your nephew, you can then elevate her to the position of principal wife. This will certainly not attract any gossip."

"What Xiao Liu said is absolutely right. Third Brother can use this plan."

"That was my original intention."
