Oh my god, can you play like this?

Chapter 161 Why is it a gift now?

Forced marriage is a thing that people, whether in ancient times or modern times, never get tired of and enjoy watching the fun.

Gu Lanzhi watched it with great interest and found it particularly interesting.

But why was his expression of watching the fun so irritating in Li Beichen's eyes?

If it weren't for the fact that Gu Lanzhi didn't want to enter the palace so soon, Li Beichen would have wanted to announce Gu Lanzhi as the queen right now.

It was also fortunate that Gu Lanzhi and Li Beichen talked for so long in the Beast Taming Space that night, and both of them spoke out what was in their hearts.

Li Beichen then understood why Gu Lanzhi didn't want to enter the palace right now. Otherwise, he really wanted to announce the candidate for the queen directly when he ascended the throne.

But now, that heartless little guy was actually sitting there watching his fun.

Li Beichen was so angry that his teeth were itching. He really wanted to catch Gu Lanzhi and punish him.

Since this heartless kid just loves to watch the fun, let's all join in the fun.

Li Beichen is also a sinister person, otherwise he would not have been able to endure for so many years and regain the throne.

Li Beichen looked at Gu Lanzhi with a smile, and that look made Gu Lanzhi shudder.

Gu Lanzhi only had one thought in his mind, "Danger! Something bad is going to happen!"

Gu Lanzhi knew Li Beichen well. He became intimidated at the mere glance of Li Beichen. He knew that Li Beichen was going to cause trouble.

Gu Lanzhi was about to signal Li Beichen with his eyes, but Li Beichen didn't give Gu Lanzhi the chance and simply looked away.

"Now that I have ascended the throne, the throne of empress cannot remain vacant forever..."

As soon as Li Beichen's voice was rang out, the noisy crowd below suddenly became quiet, and everyone was waiting for Li Beichen's next words.

Gu Lanzhi's heart was in his throat, fearing that Li Beichen would really reveal that he was the queen.

Because Li Beichen is the emperor now, whatever he says is an imperial decree.

As long as Li Beichen said that he wanted Gu Lanzhi to become the queen, that was the final word and Gu Lanzhi had to accept the order.

If you disagree, it would be disobeying the order.

Gu Lanzhi really began to regret now. He shouldn't have watched Li Beichen's excitement just now.

Even if you were just watching the fun, you shouldn't have watched it so blatantly and provoked Li Beichen.

Gu Lanzhi clenched his hands into fists nervously. He was already considering whether his current level of mental ability was enough to control the people in the hall.

Li Beichen deliberately dragged out the tone to tease Gu Lanzhi.

He loved Gu Lanzhi so much, how could he go against his wishes and force him to enter the palace to be the queen? Li Beichen just wanted to punish Gu Lanzhi a little.

Li Beichen saw Gu Lanzhi looking so nervous from the corner of his eye and sighed softly. He couldn't bear to see Gu Lanzhi in so much pain.

"I have already decided on the choice of queen, and there is no need for you to say more."

As soon as Li Beichen finished speaking, Gu Lanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his body and leaned back in the chair.

To be honest, he was so nervous that he was sweating. Just such a short sentence felt like it took so long for Gu Lanzhi to finish it.

Sitting behind Gu Lanzhi were Gu Shurui and Gu Jingcheng. They saw everything and were secretly laughing at Gu Lanzhi.

When you are in the middle of something, you cannot see the truth of the matter.

Gu Shurui and Gu Jingcheng knew very well that Li Beichen was just teasing Gu Lanzhi! Look how scared their brother was.

Li Beichen also saw Gu Lanzhi's reaction. While he was laughing at Gu Lanzhi in his heart, he also felt a little disappointed.

He was sure that Gu Lanzhi loved him, but Li Beichen still felt uncomfortable when Gu Lanzhi was so resistant to entering the palace.

For a moment, Li Beichen even doubted whether he should sit on the throne.

The eldest lady also knew what was going on. Seeing Gu Lanzhi's relieved look, she sighed softly.

"Well... since Your Majesty has already chosen a candidate for the position of Queen, what about the other concubines?

Your Majesty can decide on the other concubines today, and when the Emperor and Empress get married, the other concubines can enter the palace together."

The old general spoke first, and the other officials began to echo his words.

"Yes, yes, today the emperor and his subjects are having fun together, and Your Majesty can be even happier!"

"Yes, the families of all officials are here today, Your Majesty can choose the best one."

"My daughter is 28 years old. If Your Majesty is satisfied with her, I have no objection."

"This old minister's granddaughter just turned seventeen this year. Your Majesty can take a look at her."

"My sister..."

"My daughter..."

Gu Lanzhi looked at the ministers promoting their own girls with a dull look on his face. He really didn't expect that people in ancient times could be so open-minded.

Did they give their daughters and granddaughters to the emperor in person? Didn't they just ask the emperor to choose a concubine as soon as possible? Why did they give it to him now?

This means that as long as the emperor likes it, he can just take it back?

Isn’t this ancient times? Weren’t ancient people very reserved and shy?

Could it be that all the history I learned in school was a lie?

Gu Lanzhi was completely confused. The audience in the live broadcast room were also swiping the barrage of comments frantically, all asking questions. They couldn't understand why the ancient people could be so straightforward.

The ancients were reserved and shy, which is not wrong, but the premise is that their own interests were not involved.

Li Beichen had been confined to his own fiefdom for so many years and had never entered Kyoto. Except for the people Li Beichen had planted long ago, others were not familiar with Li Beichen, let alone his personality or temper.

In this situation, the best way for officials to secure their positions is through marriage.

I have married my daughter and granddaughter to you, so you have to give me some face. Although you don't have to take care of our family, at least don't implicate our family because of trivial matters.

This was what every official present was thinking.

How could Li Beichen not understand this? He had been smart since he was a child, and he saw it very clearly when his father was still alive.

Isn't it because the emperor had to balance the front dynasty and the harem that Li Beichen's mother had to abandon her and go to the palace of other concubines even if he was in love with her?

Li Beichen shouldn't understand these things too well.

This was also one of the reasons why Li Beichen agreed directly when Gu Lanzhi said that as long as she followed him, Gu Lanzhi would not allow anyone else to follow him.

Li Beichen listened to the noisy crowd with no expression on his face. He looked around the hall and finally set his sights on Gu Lanzhi, who was staring blankly at the noisy officials.

Looking at Gu Lanzhi's dazed look, Li Beichen curled the corners of his lips slightly.

Gu Lanzhi was digesting the fact that the ancients promoted their own daughters. He no longer had the energy to look at Li Beichen.
