ily.His eldest son has never been particularly well-liked.Now, are we going to let them bring shame upon the Ning familyShen Mingxuan's expression was unreadable as he said, "Since you're not feeling...The young man kicked the blanket away, revealing his slender ankles.

That foot was like sheep fat white jade, a feast for the eyes. I don't know how it was raised, but this foot was many times prettier than an ordinary person's.

Actually, though the little emperor's feet were pretty, they certainly weren't as dainty as a woman's. But in the regent king's eyes, they were quite small, and he didn't know why they were so beautiful.

The man's eyes darkened.

Ningshu felt a little uncomfortable. She glanced at her feet in confusion, but didn't notice anything different. She subconsciously shrank back slightly and said, "Your Majesty, why...are you looking at me like this"

He was embarrassed to say his feet out loud.

It's just that I feel like Helin Yu's gaze is strange no matter how I look at it.

Helian Yu came back to his senses, raised his eyes, and looked over.

That gloomy expression made Ning Shu's heart feel a little uneasy.

Helian Yu smiled and said, “I’ve been on the border for so many years, I’ve never seen a man like Your Majesty.”

Ning Shu pursed her lips, unsure if the regent king's words were an insult. She couldn't help but glare at him secretly.

...got caught.

Helian Yu's gaze held a hint of playfulness.

Ning Shu didn't speak, but she was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but shift her gaze awkwardly.

He really didn't know how to get along with the Regent.

Ning Shu felt that she didn't understand enough, and now wasn't keen on contacting the other party too much. She was afraid that before she could figure out Helian Yu's motives, the other party would have seen through her completely.

The young boy couldn't help but lie down, pulling the bedding up over himself.

"I am tired."

Helian Yu didn't speak, but his dark eyes were fixed on her delicate feet.

Ning Shu was suddenly touched on the foot by someone, and she jumped in fright.

When he came to, he saw the Regent holding his foot in his hand.

The man's big hand was rough, and she couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

With a touch of astonishment and a hint of embarrassment, I wanted to retract my foot.

...but her hands were held fast by a man's large grip. ...

"What are you doing" Ning Shu felt a strange sensation, and her cheeks flushed with annoyance, though the man's strength was considerable.

His slender frame was utterly useless, he could only be held like a bird, at the mercy of the other.

Helian Yu found the little emperor's feet too beautiful, so he just couldn't help himself.

I couldn't help but be moved.

His deep, dark eyes looked over and then he touched his feet a couple of times, casually saying, "I have a little bit of medical skill, so I'd like to take a look at the Emperor."

Ning Shu looked at the person with half belief and half doubt.

Helian Yu met the young emperor's suspicious gaze and couldn't help but scoff, "The border is poor, Your Majesty wouldn't understand how rare military doctors are in a camp. Some soldiers can only grit their teeth and endure."

Upon hearing this, Ning Shu dismissed her doubts.

He was speechless for a moment. The Regent King had endured so much hardship on the border, fighting relentlessly to secure the empire's borders. Yet, he was constantly under suspicion and scrutiny within the court. Whether he harbored ambition or not, a knot of resentment remained in his heart.

If it weren't for the Empress Dowager, Helian Yu wouldn't have been banished to the border.

Ning Shu nervously clenched her fists and pursed her lips.

The man trapped his foot in his hands, squeezing it gently.

Ning Shu couldn't help but glance at the person, feeling a little puzzled.

There's still something awkward about it.

He couldn't help but speak up, "My body, my heart, I am very clear about them. No need for the Regent King to worry."

Helian Yu's eyes gazed over, dark and heavy.

Ning Shu's heart skipped a beat, but she felt a little stifled inside.

But he didn't dare to resist.

Not until a good while later did the man put his foot down and tuck in the blankets, saying, "Your Majesty, please rest. I shall take my leave now."

Ning Shu stared at the person as they walked out of the palace before burying herself under the blankets.

Liling asked him what was wrong.

Ning Shu said strangely, "I feel like his attitude towards me is a bit strange."

Lingling said: "Host, he looks so rough and tough. Did he hurt you"

Ning Shu's heart warmed, and she said, "That's not true."

He glanced at his foot, which the Regent had just touched, and inexplicably felt a blush creeping up his cheeks.

Ning Shu's illness lasted for five days before it showed significant improvement.

During that time, the Empress Dowager expressed her dissatisfaction more than once.

Ning Shu thought about Helian Yu's attitude, and she couldn't figure out what the other person was trying to do. The military power was still in the other person's hands. If he took it back now, it might make the other person preemptively rebel.

"Mother, I plan to bestow the daughter of the Shen family upon the Prince Regent. What do you think"

This is a plan Ning Shu thought about for a long time.

After all, the Regent is not young anymore. In ancient times, a boy his age would be able to work as an extra in a film. Furthermore, he has been stationed on the border for so long; he must also want to marry a beautiful wife.

The Shen family, though a branch of the Ning family, are loyal and devoted.

If this marriage were to succeed, the Regent would have to show some consideration for treason.

If a husband and wife are loving and harmonious, that's the best.

Ning Shu wouldn't go against He Lianyu, the Regent King knew his thoughts and would naturally be kind to him.

The Empress Dowager, upon hearing this, was taken aback for a moment, pondering for a while: "This is indeed a good suggestion."

The Shen family's power isn't great, especially when it comes to ancestral matters.

If the Regent marries a daughter of the Shen family, he will have to bear with some things. At that time, we can find an opportunity to take back the military power.

Ning Shu also thought this plan was very feasible.

The Shen family's only daughter was his carefully chosen one. She had a good family background and excellent looks, most importantly, she was extremely beautiful.

Helian Yu would probably like this too.

So, on the first day he went to court after recovering from his illness, he summoned the Prince Regent.

"Regent, I recall that you have yet to take a wife and produce an heir."

Helan Yu got up and looked over. His eyes were dark and stared at him, but his expression seemed a little gloomy.

"As for personal matters, I've always believed in fate and haven't forced anything."

Ning Shu was inexplicably uneasy under his gaze, but she still mustered her courage and said, “If I were to give you my hand in marriage, would you accept”

Everyone in court was taken aback by the emperor's proposal of marriage and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, which noble family's daughter do you intend to bestow upon the prince"

The man stood on the imperial court, his eyes fixed straight on himself.

Ning Shu couldn't help but turn her gaze away, and said, "It is the eldest daughter of the Shen family."

Some ministers immediately agreed, saying, "Miss Shen is renowned for her talent and beauty. She is also virtuous and kind. She would be a perfect match for the Prince."

But Helin Yu, standing there, merely let out a sneer.

The minister who had just spoken couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and indignant as he asked, "Does Your Highness think that Miss Shen is unworthy of being the mistress of this household"

Helian Yu raised his eyelids, his dark eyes sweeping over the person. He was very handsome, with sword brows and star-like eyes, especially those thin lips, which seemed to be born with a hint of indifference and coldness.

The oppressive air pressed in: "Your Majesty insists on arranging a marriage for me"

Those eyes held not a hint of mirth.

He just narrowed his eyes and watched the boy sitting on the throne.

Unflinchingly

Ning Shu met his gaze, her heart fluttering with apprehension: "I've already seen the portrait. Miss Shen is a rare beauty... Could it be that the Prince Regent has some dissatisfaction with this betrothal"

Helian Yu stared at him, a smirk playing on his lips. "I'm just a mere soldier, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of Miss Shen."

"Why should I let her suffer with me"

The ministers in the court immediately started flattering the emperor.

How can this be considered hardship The prince is a talented man, and he's the most suitable match for Miss Shen.

When she saw Helian Yu's dark eyes, she felt a terrifying aura emanating from him. She was speechless for a moment.

Ning Shu doesn't quite understand.

He had seen Miss Shen's portrait, and she was very beautiful. He couldn't help but blink his eyes and look at the man.

He hesitated, wanting to take down the portrait and show it to the other person, but then thought better of it.

I'll have to leave it at that.

But after the court session, he summoned the Prince Regent to his study.

Ning Shu opened the portrait and handed it over.

Helian Yu glanced around.

The woman in the portrait was indeed very beautiful, but he merely glanced at her before looking away.

"What does your Majesty mean"

Ning Shu felt a little embarrassed. She couldn't possibly say that she suspected He Lian Yu hadn't seen Shen Qian Jin's portrait, which was why he refused.

Maybe he will accept it after he sees it.

He then called the person to his study and glanced at them.

"I just want you to take a look, and you can decide later."

Helian Yu stared at him, suddenly saying, "Your Majesty, don't you think Miss Shen of the Shen family is quite beautiful"

Ning Shu nodded.

But who knew the Regent's face darkened slightly: "I think she is nothing special."

Ning Shu was taken aback. She didn't expect his standards to be so high.

In his opinion, Miss Shen was already very beautiful.

But Helian Yu was not quite satisfied.

Ning Shu was momentarily stunned, not expecting that in the Regent King's eyes, the other party wasn't even considered beautiful.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "In this capital city, Miss Shen's appearance could be ranked among the best. I wonder what His Royal Highness finds unsatisfactory"

Helin Yu sat on the side and raised her teacup.

Those deep-set eyes looked over, staring at him with an unreadable darkness. "I want the most beautiful one," he said ambiguously, "the one that feels good to touch."

Ning Shu's face flushed red.

He did not expect the Regent King to be so vulgar, and could not help but speak up: "I wonder what the Regent King considers beautiful"

Helen chuckled and stared at him with unwavering eyes, “Of course she’s fair-skinned, has beautiful eyes, and pretty feet.”

"Don't be too thin, nor too plump, once it gets healthier, it will feel good to hold and touch naturally."

"It would be best to give your humble servant a chubby little boy." but his calculating gaze never left Ning Shu.Only to see Wan Lingfeng sheathe his sword, “Does Tianzong Sect have anyone who wants to spar with me”No sooner had he finished speaking than a senior bro...
