The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

Jiang Lingyue still didn't speak.

Knowing that she was still angry, Qi Junyi didn't care, but looked at her with increasingly gentle eyes.

"Is there any misunderstanding between you and me in our previous life that I don't know about?"

Like the 'body substitute' incident, if she hadn't blurted it out in a moment of haste.

Maybe she will remember it in her heart for the rest of her life, but he will have no idea about it at all.

The saddest thing is not even knowing where you are wrong.

Jiang Lingyue paused, slowly put down the teacup in her hand, and shook her head, "That's all, only these."

Those unforgettable injuries are just these.

The more is in the details.

Under the cold-eyed observation again and again.

At this point, Jiang Lingyue could clearly feel his love.

But she still didn't understand why he could just watch her being bullied and tortured when he clearly liked her from the beginning.

It was simply because he didn't want to admit that he liked her. He felt that liking her was wrong.

When she liked him, she was filled with joy when she thought of him and was overjoyed when she saw him.

She also knew that she shouldn't, and she also knew that liking him was a wrong thing.

But I still stayed awake and watched myself sink deeper and deeper.

The girl opposite had a dull expression and a calm tone. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes drooped slightly, and she refused to look at him.

Even though she was right beside him, Qi Junyi always felt a sense of panic in his heart, as if they were very far apart, or even... she would disappear at any time.

Maybe it's the aftereffects of those years in the previous life.

After all, he had truly lost her.

Having experienced heart-wrenching loss, that kind of despair can make people sick, and he is sick now.

She is medicine.

As long as she was there, his eyes would involuntarily lock on her.

And at this moment, there was clearly a look of restrained greed in it.

As long as Jiang Lingyue raised her eyes, she could see everything.

But she didn't.

The two of them sat quietly, and the sound of rain outside the hall had a magical power that could soothe their minds.

Silence spreads in the air and into my heart.

That night, the two slept on the same bed.

After suggesting adding a quilt so that they could each cover themselves but being ruthlessly rejected, Jiang Lingyue turned over and faced the wall in her arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Qi Junyi, who was planning to say some sweet words to her before bed, had to shut up.

He stared at the girl who was curled up in the corner of the bed holding the quilt, his eyes dimmed.

really.

The promise that she would try to love him still stood, and the promise that they would live a good life in the future still stood.

Turns out, that wasn't what she actually meant at all.

Either you can't do it, or you don't want to do it.

Qi Junyi didn't know.

But he really didn't want to force her again.

However, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep in the same bed for long, as if they were separated by a huge distance.

After this day, Jiang Lingyue became silent and taciturn, as if she had returned to the last year of her previous life.

Qi Junyi discovered it immediately.

Although her treatment of him before was not enthusiastic, it was still lively.

His expression is lively and vivid, full of flesh and blood. He will get angry when pushed to the limit, but will soon become timid after weighing the pros and cons.

But after revealing everything about her past life, it was as if she had said everything she had wanted to say to him in her entire life, and she became visibly tired.

She no longer needed to pretend to be the newly arrived emperor, nor did she have to be constantly careful about her words and actions to avoid revealing any clues.

Anyway, almost all the secrets that embarrassed her have been completely revealed.

She simply gave up and didn't care about anything anymore.

Qi Junyi is so perceptive, especially when it comes to Jiang Lingyue's matter.

But she didn't seem angry.

Because she did not reject the food he put out, she would naturally pick it up and put it into her mouth.

They still slept on the same bed.

There was still no hugging, no kissing, or even physical contact.

Not much different than before.

However, she became even more silent, as if she was habitually...ignoring him.

Qi Junyi is not a talkative person, and she talks even less than him.

When two people are together, they often look at each other in silence.

However, His Majesty the Emperor is even more embarrassed than in his previous life.

Ever since that day when he condescended to help change shoes, it was as if some barrier had been broken. Most of the time, as long as he was there, the palace maids had almost no place to use their skills.

He learned to take care of people without any instruction.

Even facing Jiang Lingyue's face that was so cold that it seemed to keep people at a distance, he could still be gentle and coax her, and she would obey him at all costs.

Several times, after coaxing her to look at him more and say a few more words, his smile became even more worthless.

Liu Rong felt very sad when seeing this.

But the imperial concubine is like a cold jade, unwilling to even give her a smile.

In Liu Rong's opinion, Jiang Lingyue would talk more to a horse than to his Majesty.

In all his time, he had only seen one person who dared to treat the ruler of a country like this.

I can't help but sigh again and again, there is always something that can defeat something else.

The autumn rain continued intermittently for more than ten days, and Qi Junyi was treated coldly for more than ten days.

Facing such a Jiang Lingyue, he felt extremely powerless.

It was like trying to warm a piece of cold jade that could not be warmed up. He warmed it carefully and patiently, but to no avail.

it's OK.

Qi Junyi thought, whether she loved him or not, they would go on.

In the end, there must always be an ending.

Is she willing to open her heart and live with him till old age, or will she always keep her heart closed and refuse to accept him, and become a pair of resentful lovers?

It doesn't matter.

No matter what, he couldn't let go.

Even if she continued to be so cold to him, he would accept it. Nothing was more important than having her by his side.

He said some mean things and did some things that were inconsiderate to her feelings.

It's normal for her to feel resentful.

In this life, she has a lifetime to torture him. Over time, water dripping wears away stone. Even if she is really a piece of jade, he can always keep her warm.

But after being treated coldly day after day, Qi Junyi finally used up all his patience.

I hope their current stalemate can be broken soon.

And this day came faster than he imagined.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the rain was still dripping down.

The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was held in the Taiji Hall, where the emperor personally entertained all officials.

Royal relatives, aristocratic families, important officials in the court, anyone who could enter the palace for the banquet was either a newly-minted official who held great power in the emperor's favor, or a century-old aristocratic family who enjoyed the legacy of their ancestors.

When the emperor and the imperial concubine entered together, the Taiji Hall was already full.

The internal supervisor announced the sound.

All the ministers knelt on the ground. Jiang Lingyue, dressed in a golden imperial concubine's dress, was held hand by Qi Junyi as she walked past the courtiers on both sides and stepped onto the palace steps step by step.

According to the rules, only the empress could entertain ministers alongside the emperor, and the imperial concubine's position was below the empress.

And now she was being led all the way to sit in the main seat at the top.

He could look down upon his ministers by lowering his eyes.
