[Single favor+Emperor's love at first sight+Gong Du's eccentric superiority+Leading actress skills+Strong female IQ online] Wen Shuyao only loves herself, only trash can love men. I was actually granted the title of Chang Zai, so I took advantage of the emperor's love at first sight. The emperor is just a stepping stone for me, Wen Shuyao. It is not difficult to play the role of a person who loves the emperor deeply. The legitimate daughter Wen Shuyao was born in the Marquis House of Wu'an. There were no concubines in the house, only Wen Shuyao had a daughter and two brothers. Facing the emperor's draft, Mrs. Hou even invited Wen Shuyao to four old nuns in the palace to make up for the palace fight. Unexpectedly, Wen Shuyao found it troublesome and just wanted to marry an ordinary person, so she just drank medicine and fell ill. I thought I would avoid the draft, so I quickly asked my mother to find someone to marry me. Unexpectedly, the eldest brother Wen Zhiran became the number one scholar. The emperor personally visited the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and happened to see the enchanting Wen family's legitimate daughter. "Miss, how can this illness heal so quickly? The palace will not let the young lady go to the draft again!" "No, at worst I will be ill, and the emperor cannot have a sick child." When the Marquis and Wen Zhiran heard Wen Shuyao's conversation with the maid, they immediately explained to the emperor: "My daughter was seriously ill before and was unable to participate in the draft. I also feel it is a pity." "Yes, my sister doesn't understand the rules, and her temper is even more naughty. Your Majesty, you should go to the study." Just when the Emperor Ling Jinghan was about to leave, he saw Wen Shuyao's laughing voice and stopped immediately. "The daughter-in-law of Marquis Wu'an is so outstanding. It would be a pity for me not to enter the palace, so I will make her a permanent presence and enter the palace today."
