Refusing to let love take a back seat, the scumbag emperor actually seeks favor every day

Ever since the accident of falling into the water, the most important thing Su Manman has learned and used in these days is: let go of yourself.

Anyway, some things can't be forced.

She doesn't like forced melons either.

There's nothing wrong with having some free time.

Oh, she really thought so from the bottom of her heart, but there was someone who seemed not to think so.

She didn't know what medicine Zhao Chengyuan had taken wrongly. He came to her palace more and more frequently.

The only thing left is to move directly into her Fengwu Palace.

One day she could no longer bear it.

"Can you please stop coming to me every day? There are so many concubines in the harem. You are the emperor. You should treat everyone equally."

Zhao Chengyuan was listening, but he didn't take it in.

"Yes, I am the emperor. This palace is my home. I can go wherever I want."

This is outrageous! It's totally out of date!

Su Manman even suspected that he wanted to anger her to death so that he could appoint another queen.

Let him come if he wants, and just wait on him quietly.

But this guy always wants to be with her and won't be quiet for a day.

I am tired both mentally and physically.

Since she couldn't stop her from going to her palace, she had no choice but to go and spend more time with Empress Dowager Su.

It was obvious that Empress Dowager Su also knew that Zhao Chengyuan came to her every day.

Her being favored is a good thing for the Su family, but Zhao Chengyuan only has eyes for her, which is not a good thing in this harem.

So Empress Dowager Su knew that she could not refuse Zhao Chengyuan, so he came to hide in her place without saying anything.

This is a good opportunity for Zhao Chengyuan to take this opportunity to find another concubine.

It can be considered a disguised way of treating everyone equally.

Liu Mingyue used to often stay at Empress Dowager Su's place. Su Manman had been coming to the Cining Palace more frequently recently, so the two of them inevitably had more opportunities to meet each other.

Su Manman now has complicated feelings towards her.

I can’t tell you what it feels like.

However, on the surface, the two of them remained polite.

"Come to think of it, I'm really surprised that the emperor treats you like this."

Empress Dowager Su usually doesn't gossip about others, but she has seen the relationship status of Su Manman and Zhao Chengyuan in recent years.

In the past, it was rare to see him being so close to her, and that was without any special external force.

She wondered if Zhao Chengyuan had suddenly come to his senses and discovered the good in Su Manman.

Su Manman, who was drinking tea, felt her head buzzing when she heard the Queen Mother's words.

She just wanted to come here to hide away for some peace and quiet, why did the Queen Mother still mention him...

She didn't want to bring it up on her own initiative, but since Empress Dowager Su brought it up, she had no choice but to talk about it and could only go ahead with it.

"That's right... Your Majesty, do you think it's fun to tease me like this?"

Apart from this, she really didn't have any other good reason to explain it all.

"The emperor shouldn't be such a bad person."

He's not evil?

Su Manman wholeheartedly disagreed with this evaluation.

Few of the things he did were not bad!

"Your Majesty, you don't know that he is a very dishonest person in private! He is as bad as he can be!"

This appeal must be addressed to him.

"Either they tell me ghost stories in the middle of the night, or tomorrow they tell me to chop off someone's head... Every time they scare me to death!"

At first, Empress Dowager Su thought that the private affair she was going to talk about was the couple's bedroom affairs.

Upon hearing this, that expression instantly became complicated.

This... is very bad!

Who would go to his queen every day to maintain their relationship and tell her these horrifying things!

"Thank you for your hard work, Queen. I will definitely tell you about this matter later."

After hearing what Empress Dowager Su said, Su Manman felt much better.

She couldn't stop him, but he had to listen to what Empress Dowager Su said.

"Come to think of it, Concubine Liu has been summoned by His Majesty more often recently than before?"

These words were not said by Su Manman, but asked by Empress Dowager Su.

He asked directly to Liu Mingyue, who was listening to their conversation without interrupting them.

When Liu Mingyue heard her name being called, she responded softly, "Thanks to you, Queen Mother, His Majesty will occasionally summon you and ask about your health."

It must be said that there is a reason why Liu Mingyue pleases Empress Dowager Su.

Not only was such a small amount of credit attributed to Empress Dowager Su in just a few words, but she also praised him for his filial piety without saying a word.

"Very good. As the emperor's concubine, you still need to serve the emperor. Don't forget your own duties just because you always go to Ai's house."

"you are right."

Empress Dowager Su chatted casually with the two of them for a while, then said she was sleepy and went back to her room to rest.

Su Manman was afraid of running into Zhao Chengyuan when she returned, so she wanted to stay in this room for a while longer.

Liu Mingyue also knew who she was hiding from, but she didn't tell him.

But when he got up to leave, he saw her here alone and asked.

"If your Majesty the Queen doesn't mind, why don't you come to my palace and have a chat? The Queen Mother is taking a nap and it will take quite some time for her to wake up."

Su Manman thought about it and felt that just sitting here like this didn't seem to be a solution.

Leave and wait for the Queen Mother to wake up, then come back and there will be someone you can talk to.

She only thought about it for a few moments before nodding and agreeing to her proposal.

Soon, the two arrived at Pingkang Palace where Liu Mingyue was.

Liu Mingyue has moved here for quite a while, but this is the first time Su Manman has come to visit her.

Because this person likes quietness and rarely invites people to his home.

She was previously busy fighting with Li Yuwan, or being in love with Zhao Chengyuan.

Even though she often paid her respects to Empress Dowager Su and the two met quite often, she never once thought of coming here.

But she had heard from others that many red crabapples were planted in Liu Mingyue's palace.

She went in and saw that it was indeed the case.

But it's not yet the flowering season, and the inside is full of green leaves.

"Why does Concubine Liu like Haitang so much?"

She curiously asked herself about her confusion.

Everyone has their own favorite things. If you just like crabapples, there is nothing special to worry about.

However, because of one person, no one except Liu Mingyue dared to openly like Haitang.

Not to mention that they are everywhere in my own residence.

She didn't believe that Liu Mingyue had been in the palace for so long and didn't know about this.

All I can say is that she knows, but she doesn't care.

"Then why does the Queen like peonies?"

Liu Mingyue did not answer her question directly, but asked back.

Indeed, it is difficult to grow peonies here. It is time-consuming and laborious, and it is not certain that they can be grown well.

But Su Manman couldn’t remember any specific reason as to why she liked him.

"Maybe it's because I like to force things, right? Like the relationship with Your Majesty at the beginning."

Their relationship at the beginning must have seemed like a forced one.

She thought as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingyue smiled but said nothing.
