The naive concubine is only interested in being a bad person. Your Majesty, please change your favor

Hearing this, Jiang Wange quickly knelt down and replied tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am incompetent and cannot serve you. Why don't you find someone else to sleep with you? I have no complaints..."

"Oh, you are quite interesting. Others wish that I would favor her day and night, but you push me to others. Are you playing hard to get, Concubine Jiang?"

"I dare not..."

"I think you are very brave! If you like to kneel, then kneel all night long. You are not allowed to get up until I tell you to!"

"yes....."

Jiang Wange felt that she was unlucky to have such a capricious emperor. The atmosphere was ambiguous just now, which made people think of some dirty things, but now it was tense and she was forced to kneel. It was really abominable!

Xiahou Xuan sat on the edge of the dragon bed wearing only his underwear, looking leisurely at the woman who kept her head down, sneering in his heart.

According to Long Wei's observation reports of her these days, Jiang Wange seems to have no intention of competing for favor and only wants to live a leisurely life in her own courtyard.

Since she wanted stability, he would not let her have her wish!

He, as the king of a country, cannot live a carefree life, so why can this woman?

Thinking of this, Xiahou Xuan's mood suddenly improved a lot.

"Stand up and raise your head so I can take a good look at you—"

Hearing this, Jiang Wange hurriedly stood up again, then slowly raised her chin so that he could see her face clearly.

In this posture, Xiahou Xuan looked her up and down carefully again.

Even in a harem filled with beauties, Jiang Wange's face was extremely beautiful. No wonder the Queen Mother wanted to eliminate Jiang Wange as soon as she saw her.

"I want to ask you, why did you protect the assassin that day? The guards were at the door. If you had called for help in time, the assassin would have been caught and you wouldn't have been in danger of your life."

Jiang Wange: Hmm? Are you okay? Weren't you the assassin that day? I let you go and you still question me?

"Your Majesty, I am a coward. That day, Your Majesty threatened me with a knife. How could I dare to resist? I can only do what you ordered."

"Oh, if the assassin that day was not me, but the one who wanted to harm me, then wouldn't you be shielding the criminal and letting the one who wanted to assassinate me go?"

"But even if it was Your Majesty that day, I did not shield the criminal." Jiang Wange answered firmly, then looked up at Xiahou Xuan without a trace of timidity.

After seeing this, Xiahou Xuan curled his lips and smiled:

"You look much more pleasing to the eye now. I feel uncomfortable with you looking down upon me."

Jiang Wange finally understood that Xiahou Xuan was just looking for trouble and was deliberately teasing her.

"I heard that you renovated a piece of land in Xianfu Palace and planted vegetables? Is this true?"

"Your Majesty, seriously."

"You have been in the palace for half a year. All the concubines who entered the palace with you have slept with me, but you have not. Do you resent me?"

"I dare not. It is entirely up to Your Majesty to favor which concubine. No one dares to question Your Majesty."

Jiang Wange spoke very carefully, leaving Xiahou Xuan no room to find loopholes or faults.

Xiahou Xuan became more and more interested in Jiang Wange. Perhaps, Jiang Wange was the most suitable person to be his chess piece.

"I summoned you here today not to have you sleep with me, but to discuss cooperation with you."

"I don't understand what your majesty means. Your majesty is the king of a country and can get whatever he wants. Why do you want to cooperate with me? I have no strengths and I am afraid I can't help your majesty in the slightest..."

"You don't have to belittle yourself. Your face is your best weapon. I know you have no intention of competing for favor. If you are willing to help me clean up the harem, I can let you out of the palace when the task is completed. You can live the life you want without being confined to the palace walls. What do you think?"

Jiang Wange was shocked and confused when she heard what Xiahou Xuan said:

I was shocked that he knew exactly what I wanted, but I was puzzled as to why he came to me.

She was just the daughter of a county magistrate from Qingzhou, with no power or influence. How could she help him clean up his harem?

Could it be that he is just looking for his own pleasure?

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wange boldly asked:

"May I ask you why Your Majesty chose me? Your Majesty should have better choices..."

After asking, Jiang Wange looked straight at Xiahou Xuan, waiting for his answer.

Xiahou Xuan smiled first, then said with a smile:

"Because there is no desire in your eyes, and you are so innocent that people can see through what you want at a glance. Only in this way can I use you as a chess piece without worry and ensure that you will not be coerced or lured by others."

Xiahou Xuan's words were very frank, which left Jiang Wange speechless. At the same time, it also made Jiang Wange believe that he really wanted to cooperate with her.

"If I become your majesty's pawn, can your majesty protect my safety? And can you really let me leave the palace after the matter is accomplished?"

"Don't joke—"

Jiang Wange breathed a sigh of relief. If it was really as Xiahou Xuan said, it would be perfect.

Compared to the intrigues in the palace, she just wanted to leave the palace and do some small business. She didn't seek to be rich, but just to have enough food and clothing.

"I am willing to share your Majesty's worries. I hope you will remember your promise today."

The result was as Xiahou Xuan expected. The bait he threw out was enough to attract Jiang Wange.

"Of course. From today on, you will embark on the path of becoming my favorite concubine. You must be as unbridled as possible and make the restless people in the harem show their claws to you. Only then will I have a reason to punish them. Don't let me down."

"I will do my best."

Xiahou Xuan sneered, grabbed a quilt and threw it to Jiang Wange.

"Sleep on the couch tonight, and don't make any noise to disturb me, or you won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Yes."

Jiang Wange had no complaints about sleeping on the soft couch. Compared to serving the emperor in the imperial bedchamber, sleeping on the soft couch was simply a blessing. She was already very satisfied.

The two of them slept peacefully tonight, and before dawn the next day, they were woken up by Xiahou Xuan.

"Wake up, the eunuch will come to call me to get up soon. Hurry up and lie down on the bed. You will continue to sleep later. You can't go anywhere before I leave the court. Do you understand?"

Jiang Wange was sleeping in a daze. She nodded to whatever Xiahou Xuan said, then lay down on the dragon bed in a daze and continued to sleep.

Xiahou Xuan looked at her continuous movements, and three black lines appeared on his face.

When the eunuch in charge of court ceremony knocked on the door, Xiahou Xuan asked him to come in and help him change his clothes.

When the eunuch in charge of court ceremony saw that Jiang Changzai, who had served him in the emperor's bed the night before, was still sleeping on the dragon bed, he gasped.

Then he glanced at His Majesty's expression again. His Majesty's eyes were full of doting, without the slightest impatience.

"Your Majesty, do you need me to wake up Concubine Jiang and help you change your clothes?" the eunuch asked cautiously.
