Xin He looked at the emperor's warm smile, and was grateful for the emperor and the queen's love for him. The emperor was the ruler of a country, and whatever he wanted to do was a matter of imperial decree.

The emperor wanted me to enter the palace, but he didn't want to restrict me with an imperial edict, and instead asked for my opinion in a friendly manner.

The Queen even spoke up for herself when she was not aware of it, even at the cost of disappointing her brother the Crown Prince.

When Xinhe thought of this, tears welled up in her eyes. She was afraid that the tears would fall, so she tried to open her eyes wide and try not to cry in front of the emperor.

The emperor was waiting for Xinhe's answer with a smile, but suddenly he saw the girl looking at him with tears in her eyes. She looked so pitiful that he was startled.

"Why are you crying? I...I didn't say anything! If the Queen saw you, she would be heartbroken. Stop crying."

The emperor frantically tried to find a handkerchief to wipe Xinhe's tears. Xinhe cried out and threw herself into the emperor's arms, wiping her tears and snot on the dragon robe. But she was going to be a female general, and she couldn't let anyone see her crying.

Xin He wiped her tears and said, "Your Majesty, you and the Queen are so kind to Xin Er. I am so touched. Thank you, Your Majesty and the Queen."

The emperor looked at the girl wiping her tears on his dragon robe, and patted Xin'er's head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, you ruined my dragon robe, your father's salary can't afford to compensate!"

The little girl immediately raised her head, wiping away the tears on her dragon robe in an attempt to hide her tears, and then she looked up at the emperor: "Your Majesty, look, it's fine, it's not damaged at all!"

The emperor was too lazy to argue with this girl, so he pulled Xin'er to sit in the pavilion and asked again: "Okay, tell me what you think this time."

Xin He took a breath and looked at the Emperor: "Your Majesty, Xin Er has been in the palace since she was a child, living by the side of the Empress and the Emperor, playing and studying with the Crown Prince and several other princes. It was very happy! It was a very happy time!"

"Your Majesty, you know that Xin'er has no brother, so Xin'er has always regarded the princes as brothers." In order to prevent the emperor from giving other princes to her, Xinhe simply recognized them all as brothers at once.

Although he knew this was the answer, the emperor still felt a little disappointed. He truly loved this child and wanted to love her as one of his own family.

Xin He saw the disappointment on the emperor's face, but still mustered up the courage to continue: "Your Majesty, Xin Er is still young and hasn't thought so much about marriage, but what the Queen said just now is exactly what Xin He is thinking."

The emperor was stunned and looked at Xin He seriously: "Do you also want to be with one person for the rest of your life? But Xin'er, although there is no one else between your father and mother, it is still very rare after all. For this reason, many people in the capital secretly talk about your mother being jealous!"

Xin He smiled with her eyebrows curved: "Let's talk about it, Dad and Mom are still living a good life! I think this is good! Your Majesty, do you think it is possible to love only one person for a lifetime!"

The emperor shook his head: "Yes, but there will still be criticism in this world." The emperor paused for a moment and asked Xinhe seriously: "Do you think that as a queen, you can also be together for life? That's the queen!"

Xin He spread her hands and asked, "The queen is also a woman, why can't she ask her husband to love only her? Just because she is the queen, she has to tolerate the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards full of promiscuous people?"

Xin He said these words without any fear, but the emperor looked embarrassed by what Xin He said. His originally straight back bent weakly. He no longer looked at Xin He, but just lowered his head and murmured: "But, I am the emperor. Emperors have been like this since ancient times. I really like her!"

His voice became lower and lower, full of confusion and doubt. Xin He squatted down and looked up at the frustrated emperor: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the late emperor? Do you still remember how much grievances the late emperor favored Concubine Mei and caused the empress dowager and you to suffer?"

"How can a person's feelings be shared among so many people? If they are shared, they are not true feelings. True feelings can only be shared by one person. The late emperor only loved Concubine Mei, which made many concubines in the palace jealous. Which woman can tolerate sharing her husband with others? Your Majesty, the reason Concubine Mei ended up like that was also due to the late emperor's exclusive favor."

The emperor still said stubbornly: "But, I have true feelings for the queen. I have never let her down, and I have never allowed other concubines in the palace to bully her!"

Xin He was a little angry, and stood up and said, "You married her sister and brought her into the palace to raise your son. There is also a Concubine Xi on the left and a Concubine Gui on the right in the palace."

"When you let the queen enter the palace, did you ever ask her about her wishes? Since you let her enter the palace, you can't love her wholeheartedly. Do you have real feelings for the queen?"

"Do you think you are doing the Queen a favor by placing her on the throne? When you favored the Imperial Concubine, did you turn a blind eye to her disrespect for the Queen?"

"You let her, a woman without her own children, take care of your children and other people's children for you, and take care of your harem full of concubines for you, and you just give her the honor of queen. Are you treating her well?"

Xin He became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She thought of the lonely figure of the Queen in the palace. Every time the Queen's eyes were filled with joy when she saw her enter the palace, the more sad she felt in her heart.

Such a good queen could have married the young man she loved and lived a happy life, but she resolutely entered the palace for the honor of her family and her sister's wishes. How painful it must have been for her to live like this in this cold and lonely palace day after day!

Xin He kept talking non-stop, and the emperor couldn't get a word in. He finally got a chance to speak: "I also want to treat her well, but every time I go to the Queen's palace, the Queen finds an excuse to let me go to other concubines' palaces. I feel uncomfortable!"

The emperor was just feeling depressed and had no one to vent to. Today, he caught up with the little girl Xinhe and talked about the relationship between the emperor and the empress. He didn't find it strange at all.

The emperor also felt aggrieved and always wanted to be nicer to the queen. Whenever he went to the queen's palace, the queen would always make various excuses to ask him to go to the palaces of other concubines, saying that she was infertile and asked those concubines to give birth to more children for the emperor.

The emperor was also angry. The reason why he doted on Concubine Shen was because he was always rejected by the empress, which made him annoyed. Concubine Shen happened to look very similar to the empress when she was young, so the emperor's heart immediately found its home and he doted on Concubine Shen to the sky.
