Chapter 818 Fulfilled All His Fantasies Of Women
Long Yang shot him an icy glare. “In that case, you should teach her some manners to prevent her from making a fool of herself in public.”
The corners of Wanyan Jin’s mouth twitched imperceptibly. The Emperor of Great Shang really had no qualms about embarrassing him.
“You’re right, Your Majesty. I’ll be sure to teach her well.” His tone was humble and polite.
Long Yang did not push the subject and nodded slightly. “Well then, let’s continue on our way, Prince Jin.”
Wanyan Jin moved to the side to let them pass.
He was standing on Lu Liangwei’s side, and she brushed against him as she walked forward with Long Yang’s arm around her shoulder. This time, he finally saw her face up close.
The girl was enveloped in the man’s embrace, the hood of her cloak hiding part of her palm-sized face but not concealing her ethereal beauty, the white fox-fur lining on the hood making her face appear even daintier.
In that instant, Wanyan Jin’s breath was caught in his throat.
A breeze blew through the covered corridor, rustling the hem of the girl’s gown. As it grazed the corner of his robe, something tugged at his heartstrings, and he clenched his fists.
Watching the girl walk away, he came back to his senses and sighed wistfully.
He never expected that there would be a day when he would succumb to a woman’s beauty.
The Great Desert had no shortage of beautiful women, and he had seen many ever since he was a child.
However, the women there were on the voluptuous side, taller, and had darker skin. He had always known that Cathay women had a lithe figure and skin as fair and delicate as white nephrite jade.
Long Qingzhi was one of the most beautiful Cathay women he had ever seen, but that was all she was to him-beautiful.
However, Lu Liangwei fulfilled all his fantasies of women, and even his sister, who was known as the most beautiful woman in Danjue, could not match a fraction of her beauty.
He was stunned for a moment, and when he turned his head to look, the girl was already far away.
His eyes narrowed, an indecipherable emotion swirling in their depths.
“Let’s go,” he said to Wanyan Luosang.
Wanyan Luosang followed him, sulking. “Why did you stop me just now, Brother?”
Wanyan Jin gave her a sidelong glance. They actually did not share the same mother-his father had a harem, and Wanyan Luosang was born in his old age to him and a young concubine.
However, ever since she started walking, she would follow him everywhere, and he had learned to tolerate her.
Over time, they developed somewhat of a sibling bond with each other.
Many of his brothers perished by his hand in the Danjue coup, except this younger sister, whom he spared.
To him, she was different from the others.
“I heard that the Emperor of Great Shang is a stickler for rules and doesn’t like women coming within three feet of him. If I hadn’t grabbed you just now, you’d have been injured,” he explained coolly.
Wanyan Luosang was indignant. “But the Empress is a woman too, and she was so close to him…”
Wanyan Jin shot her a look. “She’s the Emperor’s beloved woman. Of course she’s different.”
Wanyan Luosang was in disbelief. “How do you know she’s his beloved? Maybe he’s just doing it out of respect for the Grand Duke.”
Facing away from her, Wanyan Jin raised his fist to his mouth, coughed softly, and said, “The Emperor’s already thirty years old, but his consorts have never borne any children all these years, so he had no choice but to make his nephew the Crown Prince. But this year, he suddenly made Lu Liangwei the Empress, and she’s even pregnant now. Do you know why?”
