Chapter 292: The Gift of Zhenwu Emperor
Luo Ying took Xiao Qingxiu and Shao Hanyue to the Beijing market. Shao Hanyue said excitedly: "This Beijing market is really a hundred times more lively than the one in Shaoxing City! There are so many kinds of goods."
Shao Hanyue approached Luo Ying and said jokingly, "No wonder our Master Lu gave you so much silver. He was afraid you wouldn't have enough to spend!"
Luo Ying patted Shao Hanyue and said coquettishly, "You are the only one who talks too much."
Shao Hanyue continued to tease her, saying, "It's a pity that our Third Prince got there first! Otherwise, our God of Wealth would be a good choice! He's handsome, has a good figure, and has endless wealth. The key is that he's gentle, caring, and dotes on his wife. I'm just afraid that he won't give you enough or good enough. Which woman doesn't want to have a husband like this?"
Luo Ying teased Shao Hanyue and said, "Since you are so satisfied with him, I don't mind you pursuing him!"
Shao Hanyue was choked by her words and coughed several times, saying, "The key is that he only has eyes for you! He doesn't like others."
Luo Ying approached Shao Hanyue and said meaningfully: "Do you want me to help you tie the knot?"
Shao Hanyue rolled her eyes at her and said, "Forget it! Don't drag yourself into this again. You see, Prince Yu loved you to death before. The more you pulled the strings, the more he loved you. You're already deeply trapped and can't pull yourself out. If Princess Hongsu hadn't brought the Emperor of Heaven's decree, how could you have gotten rid of him!"
Luo Ying was speechless after being scolded by her.
Suddenly, Luo Ying was pulled into someone's arms at lightning speed. Luo Ying looked up and saw that it was the Great Emperor Zhenwu. Luo Ying said in surprise: "You...how did you come to the capital?"
The Great Emperor Zhenwu said very gently: "I will follow you wherever you go!"
Luo Ying's heart started pounding when he heard this. Zhenwu Emperor took Luo Ying's hand and said, "Come with me. I'll show you a surprise."
Luo Ying asked curiously: "Surprise?"
Luo Ying was dragged by him to the door of a luxurious three-story inn. Luo Ying looked at the inn and asked curiously: "What is this?"
Emperor Zhenwu looked at Luo Ying with a charming smile on his face and said, "This is for you."
Luo Ying asked in surprise: "Is it for me?"
Emperor Zhenwu said proudly, "Yes! Aren't you going to develop your great cause of protecting women all over the world? Of course you need a base in the capital. This inn has a total of 31 guest rooms, 11 private rooms, and a nearly 2-acre back garden. All your talent training, reception, and various activities can be carried out smoothly in this inn."
Luo Ying felt a warm current in his heart. He stared at the Great Emperor Zhenwu in a trance and couldn't help but blurt out: "How come you think so thoroughly."
The Great Emperor Zhenwu leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Your business is my business. I want to be your worry-free backup."
Luo Ying was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She choked up and said, "But I can't accept it. I'm afraid I can't repay you for such a big favor."
The Great Emperor Zhenwu smiled, hooked her nose and said, "You don't have to repay me for my kindness! Just think of it as my investment in your business! Just remember to give me dividends in the future!"
Luo Ying nodded with emotion and said, "Thank you! Zhenwu Immortal Lord."
The Great Emperor Zhenwu leaned close to her ear and said in a very magnetic voice: "Don't call me Zhenwu Immortal Lord, it's too formal. My real name is Taixuan, just call me Brother Taixuan!"
Luo Ying's heart tightened, and he stammered, "Well... that's too intimate, I'd better just call you Brother Taixuan!"
The Great Emperor Zhenwu looked at her lovingly and said, "Okay! I'll do as you say. When our relationship gets better, you can call me Brother Taixuan!"
Luo Ying's heart tightened and her heartbeats were pounding with nervousness. Zhenwu Emperor took her hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you in to have a look." Luo Ying nodded.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu turned around and gave She Huaichuan a look.
She Huaichuan understood what he meant and said to Xiao Qingxiu and Shao Hanyue, "There's a circus over there, let's go take a look!" After that, he and Gui Moyun forcibly dragged the two of them away.
Emperor Zhenwu took Luo Ying's hand and walked into the inn, introducing her to it: "Look, this side of the first floor is the reception, and the other side is the dining area."
Emperor Zhenwu took Luo Ying to the second floor and continued to introduce: "This half of the second floor has a total of 11 independent private rooms, which can be used as a tea room or small gatherings. The other half is guest rooms, and the third floor is also guest rooms. There are 31 guest rooms in total, and each room has its own unique features."
Emperor Zhenwu took her to each guest room and asked gently, "Do you like it?"
Luo Ying nodded with emotion and said, "I didn't expect that you, who look big and strong, can be so thoughtful!"
Emperor Zhenwu gently pinched Luo Ying's face, looked at her affectionately and said, "Are you attracted to me?"
When Luo Ying was asked this, her heart started pounding. She hurriedly avoided his loving gaze and said awkwardly, "Um...what..."
Zhenwu Emperor saw her panic and said quickly, "Come on! I'll take you to see the back garden of the inn."
Luo Ying followed Zhenwu Emperor to the garden. Luo Ying looked at the garden full of flowers in shock. He turned around excitedly and said, "How do you know I like gardens?"
The distance between them was so close that she bumped directly into the broad arms of Emperor Zhenwu. She raised her head and looked at him.
Emperor Zhenwu took advantage of the situation and put one arm around her waist and the other hand to hold her head. He looked at her affectionately and asked, "Have you forgotten that we have been together for decades in the Qin Dynasty?"
Luo Ying's mind was reminded of every bit of memories she had with him. She stared at the Great Emperor Zhenwu absentmindedly. The Great Emperor Zhenwu looked at her lovingly and said, "In that life, I waited for you for 37 years. I never appointed a queen in my life, just to wait for you. The position of queen was always vacant for you. For you, I deliberately promoted monogamy and advocated equality between men and women. Although I have power over the world, I can't get the person I love the most. You... don't you understand my feelings for you?"
Luo Ying recalled that during the war between the six nations, he, as a powerful emperor, used his body to block the fatal arrow for her.
Luo Ying's eyes instantly moistened. She reached out and gently touched his face, calling him softly, "Zheng'er"
Zhenwu Emperor felt her long-lost warmth under the touch of her fingertips. Her familiar call that had gone through the changes of the times was like a spring breeze, instantly stirring up the surging love in his heart. He could no longer suppress the passionate emotions in his heart. He lowered his head and kissed her lips affectionately. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and all obstacles and boundaries disappeared in this kiss.
Luo Ying fell in love with him and couldn't help but respond to his kiss. This kiss was passionate and affectionate, lingering and long, as if it had traveled through the tunnel of time and space, tightly connecting their hearts. In this kiss, they blended with each other and possessed each other, as if the whole world only had the two of them.
After a long time, Emperor Zhenwu reluctantly left her lips, looked at her affectionately, and said excitedly: "You are willing to respond to my kiss, which means you have feelings for me, right?"
Luo Ying was instantly brought back to reality by his words. She recalled the battle between Hua Yuchen and him, and the scene where he was seriously injured. Luo Ying said in panic: "No... I have fallen in love with you and lost myself! It is impossible for us to be together."
The Great Emperor Zhenwu tightly grasped her arms and asked uncontrollably, "Why is it impossible?"
Luo Ying looked at him with moist eyes and said, "I understand your love for me, but he and I are already engaged. We can't be together, we can't fall into this trap anymore, the deeper we fall, the more painful it will be for both of us."
Emperor Zhenwu felt as if he had been poured with cold water. He gazed at Luo Ying affectionately and said painfully, "I know you are his woman, but I just can't suppress my strong love for you. As long as you two don't get married, you may not be his wife in the end, but I will not give up pursuing you."
Luo Ying turned her head away, not daring to look him in the eye, and said in panic: "Why are you doing this? It's only a matter of time before I marry him. After all, he is my first love, my first man, and the only one at the moment. I can't give him up and choose someone else, unless he betrays me and gives up on me."
Emperor Zhenwu hugged Luo Ying tightly and said excitedly: "I don't care, as long as you don't get married, I will wait for you, and wait forever."
