His Harem, My Choice

Hua Yan reaches back to her palace and Han Jun also arrives and sits beside her with a concerned look.

"The Queen didn't give you any trouble did she?" he asked her in a caring tone.

"Not at all, she had just solved some of my worries"

"What did she say that solved your worries?" he asks in a shocking and unbelievable tone.

"She just wanted me to choose you some consorts and concubines from this list" She hands over it to him.

"What? I have just married you and I can't take any wives. I have even promised you to love only you"

"My dear, I know you love me and you have promised me but it is your duty to marry women of noble families to secure your throne" she hugs him and affirms him.

"But we have just married and this can't be correct" he still denies her request.

"Then not now, but you should take some more wives and concubines."

"If you really don't want to marry them then let me choose them for you and just think of it as doing your duty to them"

"But.."

"There is no but. you should accept this or else the queen might complain the king and hold it against me to force you to replace me and separate from you."

"I don't think you love me enough and you just want to drive me away" he leaves in anger.

Hua Yan calls in her maid and asks her to read all the names in the list and to ask about their family status.

Among the women in the list there are daughters of many great generals and ministers.

They are Shen Jing the eldest daughter of general Shen who holds great military power and commands almost one third of the army. 

Lu Yuman the eldest daughter of the minister of Rites who holds great power in the capital and Zhou Ran the eldest granddaughter of the Imperial tutor who is famous for his knowledge and wisdom and her brother is the new censor.

Hua Yan then asks her maid Ning Ning to send the marriage decrees to their houses with a status as Consorts.

"Madam are you sure you want to make them the prince's consorts"

"Yes, even if they become the consorts, I will still be his principal wife who holds the power. Also i don't want to let anyone criticize me"

The maid nods and leaves to send the invitations. 

Hua Yan then sees the details of other women in the list and laughs. 

"So she want me to choose girls from such families so that i make myself criticized"

"My Dear Queen, you have underestimated me"

She then calls another maid and gives a list of 9 concubines which removes other top families from the list provided by the queen.

"Ask someone to bring these 9 girls as concubines after 3 days"

"But among the 9 concubines there are ladies Miss Shen Qing and Miss Lu Lan, do you really think it's a good idea?"

"Yes, I know they belong to the same families and I want them to stir up some trouble" Hua Yan Smiles in a cunning way.

The maid nods and leaves with the list. All the families received the list of their girls getting selected as concubines in the palace and were filled with joy.

Also the invitations to the Shen, Lu and Zhou families were sent and were actually shocked to see the names of prince Han Jun instead of Chu Yi Chen as the queen previously proposed marrying her grandson with their families.

The news of consort selection soon reached the palace and the Queen became furious that Hua Yan actually picked the consorts from Noble families which she reserved for her grandson.

She immediately went to complain regarding her actions with the emperor but he actually commended her braveness.

"But Your Majesty, I have thought of arranging marriages of Yi Chen with those families"

"He is just a prince and not worthy of all those noble families. If you really want to choose then choose one Noble family's daughter as his consort" 

The king expresses his dissatisfaction of marrying multiple noble ladies to Yi Chen as he wants to secure Han Jun's position in the court.

"Why did you give the list to Consort Hua Yan for prince consort selection in the first place?"

"If you have reserved them, since she has chosen them, let him marry them" he then asks her to leave.

The Queen feels agitated and fumes in anger out of his study. 

Han Jun returns in the night feeling heartbroken and devastated.

"Did you really choose all of them by yourself, how could you do that?" he questions her with an unbelievable expression.

Hua Yan then slowly comes close to Han Jun and hugs him behind.

"Your Highness, if you don't hold enough power in the court, how can you become the king your father want you to be"

"I know you love me but you also need the power of those Noble families to strengthen yourself"

"But I am capable and strong enough to establish myself, I don't need to curry favor with them by marrying their daughters"

"Yes, I know you strengths and capabilities but in this wicked palace politics we can't just rely on our strength, we will also need support of the Court"

He realised her intention of securing his throne and she loves him so much that she can accept other women sharing her husband to help him.

"i just want you to know that your love towards me should never waver just as mine would never waver"

Han Jun smiles as he sees the fear of losing him in her eyes.

"I hope you don't wish to favor them more than me once you tasted them"

She tells him in a commanding tone as she kisses his lips which brings a spark in the moment.

He smiles and wraps her waist in his hands on her waist and locks his eyes into hers.

"Also I won't let you have children with them until I give birth to our first child" she expresses her jealousy which makes him feel at ease and a bit shocked.

"So you want me to make sure that they don't get pregnant?"

"No.., I won't tarnish your reputation. I will take care of it all. I just hope you won't feel disappointed on not hearing any good news from them" she comes closer and kisses on his cheek to tease him.

He can sense her possessiveness "Then I hope you will keep me occupied every night" a smirk aroused on his face.

She then slowly comes closer to his neck and kisses his ears, her tongue touches his ears and his ears instantly turn red and with this an arousal occurs in his crochet even before he could realize.

He then turns around and kisses her with passion and a strong desire arouses in his lower body to make her his after she makes him suffer the feeling of abandonment. 

She understood his feelings and continued to kiss him giving him a sense of assurance.

They kiss passionately as the curtains of the bed close and the clothes fall down the bed. 

He then gently pushes her down and gives a soft kiss on her lips indicating the start of their passionate night.

"You will regret making me feel this way" he kisses her lips and smiles to enjoy the pleasure.

She smiles when his lips touch her and she pulls him closer for another kiss before he pulls his pants down.
