The imperial concubine is nine and a half years old, and she is willing to overturn the table and re

She always has a set of logic that makes her self-consistent.

Situ Qing curled his lips: "But she doesn't like me."

This time, Concubine Li was stunned for a little longer, and seemed to realize why Situ Qing was sad.

"I understand. Your Majesty means that you are good to me, but you don't like me that much, just like Concubine Lan goes along with you, but she doesn't like you that much. You feel sad and wronged, so you are curious whether I feel wronged or not, right?"

At this point, Situ Qing was slightly startled and held her hand: "Concubine Li, I... am sorry for you."

To be frank, the one who felt the most aggrieved was undoubtedly Concubine Li.

She was still being polite. If it were Xie Yuantang, he would probably have scolded and beaten her.

The content of the beating and scolding is roughly as follows:

"You old fool, you've been coveting my body for so many years. I've even given birth to your child and I'm getting old now, and you actually said to me, 'You don't like me?

Are you still reminiscing about your long-dead Bai Yueguang in front of me? And you still want me to comfort you?

I spit on you, you turtle bastard! I will send you to reunite with your white moonlight now, you two can chat slowly in the underworld!"

Fortunately, Concubine Li is not Xie Yuantang. She has been with Situ Qing for so many years and has this man in her heart. She also knew that this man's heart could not belong to her only.

So she didn't complain. Besides, women in the deep palace would only add to their own troubles if they complained.

Wouldn’t it be better for her to have some manicure and listen to gossip in her spare time?

Concubine Li just smiled and shook her head, then she leaned softly on Situ Qing's shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, but you don't understand women. Today, I will tell you the secrets of two women."

"First, if a woman really hates someone, she will never let that person get close to her."

She patted Situ Qing's chest soothingly and said, "So even if Imperial Concubine Lan doesn't love you to death, at least she has you in her heart. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to enter the palace with her stubbornness. And with her intelligence, she wouldn't have accepted your exclusive favor even though she knew it would cause jealousy in the harem."

Situ Qing suddenly froze: "Are you telling the truth?"

Concubine Li nodded and continued, "It's just like your Majesty saying that you can't love me as much as Concubine Ai Lan, but what does it matter? I know that you have me in your heart, and I know it better than you do."

She raised her head, her eyes slightly moistened with charm: "To put it in a deeper way, we are husband and wife, and our child is already this big, you will not ignore me, to put it in a more superficial way..."

She paused, Situ Qing's voice was slightly hoarse, and he kneaded her fingers: "How about putting it in a simpler way?"

Concubine Li bit her lip and whispered, "It's a bit vulgar to put it simply. This kind of thing... can't be judged solely by words, but by actions."

Situ Qing: “…”

Concubine Li gave him a coquettish look: "I remember how many days you have stayed here over the years, so I know that you love me, just like why you were so anxious just now... um..."

The voice was gradually swallowed up, and a slight shaking sound of the bed was heard. The two palace maids outside the room looked at each other, blushed, and stood further away.

The Queen had said before that the Emperor was ill, but she had never expected that even though he was ill in other aspects, his Emperor was still strong in some aspects...

-

The Fifth Prince's Mansion.

"Seven days later?"

This time, even Situ Yan couldn't maintain his expression.

Bai Lang, who was sitting in a chair next to him, was laughing so hard that his body shook. He gave Xie Yuantang a thumbs up and said, "Great! You went to the palace specifically to urge her to get married, right?"

Xie Yuantang kicked him speechlessly: "I didn't mean to say that either. I was saying that. Who could have thought that the emperor would suddenly say that? I couldn't stop him."

Situ Yan understood deeply and nodded, saying, "Father probably knows that he is stupid, so when he comes up with an idea, he doesn't give others a chance to stop him. He is eager to get others' approval. He is still too naive."

Xie Yuantang: “…” Really, sometimes I can’t tell who is the father and who is the son between you two.

Xie Yuantang held his chin, feeling a little distressed: "What should I do now? If Wuchen knows about this tomorrow, won't he come and kill us?"

Situ Yan curled his lips and said, "Then let's wait until he comes to kill us. Anyway, there is no other way now."

Xie Yuantang sighed, and Bai Lang suggested, "Why do you have to be so sad? Who says men can't get married..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by an orange thrown by Xie Yuantang.

"Don't say that! Don't teach my husband bad things!"

Situ Yan: “…”

He hadn't thought about it that way before, but now he understood.

The three were chatting when Bai Fu came in and reported: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess, Madam, and Master Leng are here."

"Mother and uncle are here?"

Xie Yuantang was a little surprised. She thought that after Leng Zhenshan and the others entered the palace today and learned of Pei Weizhan's identity, they might come to find her or ask her to go to the Leng family. However, she did not expect that they would come so late.

Situ Yan said calmly: "I guess he wants to avoid being seen."

As they were talking, the three of them stood up and went out to greet them.

Xie Yuantang left the fastest. Due to her health reasons, she had not been to the Leng family for a while, nor had she seen Leng Yunwan.

Seeing the figure coming from a distance, Xie Yuantang was delighted from the bottom of his heart and ran over: "Mother!"

"Tang'er!"

Leng Yunwan ran faster than her and hurriedly caught her, choking with sobs, "Stop running, be careful not to fall, let mother check if you are okay? How are you?"

Xie Yuantang was stunned.

Leng Yunchao, who was standing aside, frowned, his face was covered in bruises, and his eyes were swollen like a panda's.

He looked at Xie Yuantang and said, "Kid, why didn't you tell me that you were not feeling well?"

Xie Yuantang then understood that Situ Qing had probably told the Leng family father and son everything, including the fact that she was ill.

Xie Yuantang didn't want them to worry so much, especially Leng Yunwan. Her mother was too weak and she didn't want her to be sad.

"Don't cry, mom. Tangtang is fine."

Xie Yuantang held Leng Yunwan's hand, changed the subject, and asked with a smile: "But what's wrong with my uncle? Why is his face swollen like a pig's head?"

"Forehead……"

Leng Yunchao choked and snorted unhappily: "What else can I say? It's all the fault of that Pei guy."

When Leng Yunwan heard this, she froze slightly, lowered her head and said nothing.

This means Pei Weizhan becomes "the one with the surname Pei".

Xie Yuantang guessed that Leng Zhenshan probably didn't treat Pei Weizhan well after knowing about this.

Judging from Leng Yunchao's injuries, Pei Weizhan might have been beaten as well.

Xie Yuantang's eyes rolled slightly, and he guessed what happened in an instant. He smiled and took Leng Yunwan's arm and said, "Mom, don't stand here. It's cold outside. You're weak, don't get caught in the cold. Let's go inside and talk."

Leng Yunwan's eyes were red. She held her daughter's hand tightly and nodded.

They came to talk to their daughter, and some things were indeed not suitable to be said outside.

After entering the house, Leng Yunwan looked at her daughter carefully by candlelight and asked her questions. After Xie Yuantang's repeated assurances, she felt relieved: "Your grandfather said it's not convenient to come during the day, so we have to come now and leave soon."

Xie Yuantang was slightly stunned, and glanced at Situ Yan, who said, "There's no need to be so cautious, Father doesn't suspect the Leng family."

Leng Yunchao snorted, "It's just that I don't doubt it for the time being. It's a blessing for the Leng family that the emperor doesn't doubt us, but the Leng family can't help but reflect on it. If we keep making it public, it will only drain the emperor's patience."

Xie Yuantang raised his eyebrows: "My little uncle has matured a lot." He could actually say such sensible words.

Leng Yunwan laughed and said, "These are your grandfather's original words. He just memorized them."

Leng Yunchao: “…”
