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

"yawn--"

Su Manman, who had just walked a short distance, felt a sudden chill behind her and sneezed.

She was feeling an inexplicable panic in her heart and looked up at Li Yuwan and Wei Yixiu who were walking towards her.

Damn! I forgot to check the calendar before going out. No wonder I feel anxious!

"Hey, isn't this the queen?"

In the spirit of "less trouble is worse than more", Su Manman wanted to pretend that she didn't see it.

Obviously, Li Yuwan, whose fighting power was immediately at full strength upon seeing her, didn't think so at all.

"Hey, isn't this the imperial concubine?"

Su Manman, who was blocked, also spoke in her sarcastic tone.

Sure enough, when Li Yuwan heard her imitating her tone, her delicate face immediately fell.

She was about to lose her temper when Su Manman added a few words at the right moment.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. You look more and more radiant. Unlike me, I was first criticized by His Majesty for being boring, and then criticized by the Queen Mother for not being flexible. Sigh, I really can't compare with you."

Su Manman said this, wiping the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief with a sad face.

Then he raised his head again and looked at her sincerely.

"Since we've met, I'll have to say a few more words. In a few days, I'll have to accompany the Queen Mother out of the palace to offer her blessings. I'll trouble you to take care of the affairs of the harem and His Majesty."

After saying that, he coughed a few times on purpose.

"I haven't recovered from my illness yet, so please don't get too close to me. If I pass on my illness to you, it will be inconvenient for you to take care of His Majesty, and then other concubines will have to trouble you."

As he spoke, he tried hard to cough twice from his throat and took two steps forward.

Concubine Li was about to say something, but when she saw her like this, she subconsciously took a few steps back as if she had seen something poisonous.

She didn't care about Su Manman's health, but she definitely didn't want to get sick.

Especially when she heard her mention that other concubines should take advantage of the situation to serve Zhao Chengyuan and compete for his favor, she would never allow it.

So she looked disdainful and didn't come forward to speak again, and Su Manman walked past her smoothly.

In order to make my illness seem more realistic, I took two steps, coughed, took three steps, and staggered. It looked quite realistic.

Only after making sure that the person behind her had gone far away did Qiu Ye remind her in a low voice.

"My lady, they have gone far away."

Su Manman, who looked half dead just now, suddenly became radiant and no longer looked uncomfortable at all.

"Really? I don't even want to compete with her for that man who is good-looking but can't even have a child. Why is she still staring at me..."

Su Manman sighed tiredly.

After a reversal, it seems that neither of them has gained anything from the fight over the past few years, except for being angry.

Having died once, she understood.

Life is precious and should not be wasted on such thankless tasks.

"Who are you saying can't have children, Queen?"

"Except for that scum...huh?!"

She stopped talking halfway when she saw the man appear from the side.

When she saw a woman standing in front of her, dressed neatly and simply in green clothes, looking at her with a smile, she immediately rushed over happily.

"Sister Yuxiao! When did you enter the palace? Why didn't anyone notify me?"

As soon as she finished shouting, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Oh, no! I should call you sister-in-law."

Deng Yuxiao was originally from the Wu family and was the wife of her adoptive brother Su Chongning.

She is three years older than Su Manman, and the two knew each other when they were still in their hometown Jiangzhou.

Ever since Su Manman was sent to Yingjing, the two had rarely had the opportunity to meet. The last time they met was three years ago.

Even so, Su Manman was still very friendly when she saw her.

"I was supposed to come a few days ago, but something happened and I got delayed. I just arrived today."

Deng Yuxiao, who was hugged tightly and couldn't get away, looked at Su Manman like a child with a helpless look on his face.

"You are the queen now. It is not proper for you to hug my wife in public."

"I am a stranger in a foreign country, and my eyes are filled with tears. Besides, I am hugging my wife, not a man. What does it matter?"

She said, hugging him tighter.

Anyway, there was no one else passing by at the moment, so she might as well just enjoy herself first, and put aside the issue of etiquette for now.

Deng Yuxiao couldn't do anything about her and had to let her do what she wanted.

When Su Manman was acting coquettishly on her sweet and soft sister-in-law, she suddenly saw a little head popping out from behind her.

It was a little boy, who looked no more than three or four years old. He was pulling Deng Yuxiao's clothes and looking at her curiously.

"Ah! What a small Ning brother!"

Looking at the little guy who looked almost exactly like his adoptive brother Su Chongning, she exclaimed.

The child was very cute and lively. When he saw that she had discovered him, he took the initiative to stand up and imitated the adults by clasping his hands to greet her.

"Empress, I don't call you little Ning, but Sui'an, Su Sui'an. My grandfather said it means peace and prosperity every year."

The grandfather the child was referring to was King Tuojiang.

Because his biological grandfather, the biological father of her adoptive brother, died when his adoptive brother was three years old after he blocked a bullet with his own body to save King Tuojiang on the battlefield.

In order to repay his kindness, King Tuojiang adopted his orphaned son as his adopted son and he became the young master of the Prince Tuojiang's mansion.

"Such a nice name was given by my father?"

The moment she heard the child's name, Su Manman was shocked by the improvement in King Tuojiang's cultural level.

Although King Tuojiang had made great military achievements, he had only studied for a few years and his reading level was only enough to read and understand letters.

Su Manman was born in heavy snow. It is said that when naming her, King Tuojiang wanted a name that showed his respect and was also literary, so he thought for three days and three nights and decided to name her Su Daxue.

He took a step back after discussing with everyone before he almost made Princess Tuojiang faint.

The word "man" (man) in the snow means that I hope she can always be innocent, romantic and live a carefree life.

Speaking of this, Deng Yuxiao seemed to remember something bad and held his forehead with his hand.

"An'er is named after him. On the day he was born, his father was so nervous that he threw everything he held. King Tuojiang and the princess thought it was unlucky. Today, we have been fine all day. When the child is born, the four of us will think it would be nice to have peace every year, so we gave him this name..."

After listening to this, Su Manman's mouth twitched.

The only thing in my mind is this: If we are not from the same family, we will not enter the same door.

After the group chatted for a while on the road, Su Manman took them all back to Fengwu Palace.

She only found out from the gossip that it was Zhao Chengyuan who arranged for the two of them to enter the palace.

"Your Majesty said you missed your family, but the princess is not in good health to travel, and King Tuojiang and your adopted brother have important matters to attend to and cannot leave, so I can only bring An'er here."

Su Manman was a little confused about his arrangement. How could someone who had never allowed her to contact her family in the past suddenly become so kind?

However, being able to see her family instantly relieved her worried mood.

When Zhao Chengyuan learned about her reaction at this time, he was very satisfied.

Su Manman didn't even need to ask, he took the initiative to send someone to tell her that she could let the two of them stay in the palace as long as she wanted.
