What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 12
ăWhen the Blood Guards ascended into the air, everyone present suddenly remembered.ă
ăNo matter how weak or old the man before them seemed.ă
ăHe was still the emperor of Great Qian Dynasty, who held the power of life and death over everyone.ă
ăThe emperor surveyed the crowd and told everyone.ă
ăThis matter was only being announced to them, not discussed with them.ă
ăIf anyone still had objections, they could now be sent to their death.ă
ăThe ministers, who had been passionately vocal moments before, now fell silent, heads lowered, not daring to utter a word.ă
ăThe emperor was very satisfied with the reaction.ă
ăAs he left, he took Ye Liangyan with him.ă
ăAfter watching them return to the palace, you noticed the looks people gave you had changed once again.ă
ăPerhaps they couldnât fathom it.ă
ăHow could a notorious, non-cultivating wastrel like you attract so many women?!ă
ăNow even the emperor wanted to marry his most beautiful daughter to you.ă
ăWas it all because your father was the immensely powerful Ye Liangyan?ă
ăIn truth, you were just as curious about this.ă
ăBut this marriage to the princess was certainly not Ye Liangyanâs doing. He knew your nature. He would never expect you to spend the rest of your life with just one woman.ă
ăAfter all, a prince consort could not take concubines.ă
ăYe Liangyan loved you dearly and would never put such a yoke on you.ă
ăBut if it wasnât Ye Liangyan, would it really be the emperor who wanted to marry his daughter to you?ă
ăWhy?ă
ăYou couldnât figure it out.ă
ăAfter the banquet ended, two maidservants approached you.ă
ăThey said Li Ruowang wanted to meet you.ă
ăTo this, you readily agreed.ă
ăSoon, guided by the two maidservants, you arrived at the back garden.ă
ăSeeing Li Ruowang amidst the sea of flowers, you felt very conflicted.ă
ăShe was stunningly beautiful.ă
ăOf course, you wanted something to happen between you two.ă
ăBut if it meant being with just her for the rest of your lifeâŠă
ăThat was impossible.ă
ăYour love was grand and destined to be shared with many. Devotion was simply not your style.ă
ăYou took a moment to compose yourself.ă
ăYou approached Li Ruowang and asked if she knew about the marriage.ă
ăLi Ruowang straightforwardly told you that she had specifically requested this marriage from the emperor.ă
Seeing this, Ye Yuâs expression became quite fascinating.
No way, no way, could she actually like a womanizer?
Li Ruowang was still a princess, what was she thinking?
Was it really because of his charm talent?
No matter how he thought about it, it seemed unbelievable.
Yes, when they were young, they had played together. But that didnât qualify as being childhood sweethearts.
He played while she watched. They had almost no interaction.
Given this, how could she possibly like him?
ăYou were very surprised.ă
ăBut soon, Li Ruowang provided an explanation.ă
ăShe is now twenty-seven years old.ă
ăPreviously, she could rely on the emperorâs favor to remain unmarried.ă
ăBut now, seeing the emperorâs condition, how much longer could he remain on the throne?ă
ăIf a new emperor ascends, he might marry her off to some Sacred Landâs saint for the sake of alliance.ă
ăLi Ruowang had thought about it for a long time.ă
ăShe concluded.ă
ăIt was better to marry someone she knew well than a stranger.ă
ăYou were a good choice.ă
ăEven though you were known to love many, in all this time, no woman had ever complained about you.ă
ăThat was indeed a talent.ă
ăYou couldnât help but feel proud of this point.ă
ăBecause with every woman, you were sincerely in love, just not deeply.ă
ăLi Ruowang promised you: There was no need to worry that this marriage would be a burden.ă
ăThe emperor only bestowed the marriage but didnât specify when. This left a lot of room for maneuvering.ă
ăSo Li Ruowang planned to marry fifty years later.ă
ăFor all these years to come, you would still be free.ă
ăDo whatever you want. Just come back and get married after fifty years.ă
ăAlso, there was no need to worry that she would turn into an old woman over time.ă
ăNot to mention the abundance of youth-preserving pills in the palace.ă
ăReaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage at twenty-seven indicated her high cultivation talent.ă
ăBreaking through to the Golden Core stage within fifty years wouldnât be a problem.ă
ăGolden Core stage lifespan is five hundred years.ă
ăLi Ruowang could maintain her current appearance until her life ended.ă
ăOf course, with her talent, she wouldnât stop at the Golden Core stage.ă
Honestly, Ye Yu now felt a bit envious of his dream self.
To have such an âunderstandingâ fiancĂ©e, did he save the world in a previous life?
Otherwise, how could he have such good fortune?
A free fifty years.
Given his conduct in the dream, he could easily put hundreds of green hats on Li Ruowangâs head.
This opportunity is given by you.
Donât regret it.
Li Ruowang, remember to wear the hat properly!
ăFifty years is not a short time, and who knows how the situation will evolve by then?ă
ăMoreover, from what Li Ruowang said, she just didnât want to be forced into marriage, so she asked the emperor to arrange this marriage.ă
ăMaybe fifty years later, if no one pressures Li Ruowang to marry, she naturally wouldnât bring up the matter again.ă
ăThat would be the best outcome.ă
ăSo, you readily agreed to this marriage.ă
ăOf course, in fact, you couldnât refuse. But being passive and being proactive are two different things.ă
ăAt this moment, you suddenly felt that Li Ruowang was really nice. At least she suited your taste.ă
ăYou couldnât help but have thoughts of wanting to get to know her better.ă
ăBut you quickly abandoned that idea. If you really got to know her better, this marriage would definitely be unavoidable.ă
ăSo, you could only obediently keep yourself in check and not cause trouble.ă
ăThat night, Ye Liangyan finally returned from the palace.ă
ăHe brought the same news as you already knew.ă
ăThis marriage was entirely requested by Li Ruowang.ă
ăAt first, the emperor was reluctant.ă
ăLater, Li Ruowang insisted, and the emperor reluctantly agreed.ă
ăAfterward, the emperor even pulled Ye Liangyan aside for a drink in the evening.ă
ăHe told him that since they would be in-laws in the future, if anything happened, he should take good care of Li Ruowang.ă
ăThis made Ye Liangyan feel that something was off.ă
