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

Qi Junyi's face was calm, he just stared at her without blinking, waiting for the next words.

Being stared at like that, Jiang Lingyue felt extremely pressured, but she could only bite the bullet and say, "This marriage was rejected by my mother, but judging from the way Madam Shuyi behaved today, she probably misunderstood."

"Oh?" He seemed curious and raised an eyebrow and asked, "What did she misunderstand?"

Asking questions knowingly!

Jiang Lingyue gritted her teeth secretly, lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze, and said, "Perhaps she misunderstood that I rejected her brother in order to gain a better future."

As for what a good future is, of course it is to enter the palace and become a concubine.

But Qi Junyi didn't buy it. His tone faded. "So, if your stepmother hadn't refused the marriage, you would have been a wife of the Chen family today. Is that what you mean?"

He had clearly known it for a long time, but he had to force her to confess. Now that she had confessed everything, he acted as if he was coming to accuse her.

The situation was stronger than the person, Jiang Lingyue dared not speak out in anger, and only said, "Your Majesty, I have no personal feelings for the young master of the Chen family."

...There is no personal feelings.

Qi Junyi lowered his eyebrows and looked quietly at the girl in his arms.

She seemed to be in a panic, her fingers tightly clutching his sleeves, her face a little pale with nervousness.

He looked at her for a while, then lowered his head and placed his lips on her trembling eyelids. "Don't be afraid. I can't do anything to you."

The red spot at the corner of her eye was also covered by his lips.

Jiang Lingyue paused, then gently stretched out her arms and climbed onto his neck.

Then, she clearly felt her breath stagnate so close to her, and the kiss that lingered on her eyebrows went straight down and was decisively imprinted on her lips.

At this moment, they were sitting on a low couch by the window. It was completely dark outside the window, and only the spring breeze blew in with the faint fragrance of flowers. Next to them was a small tea table with a pot of steaming hot tea on it.

The palace maids and eunuchs were all guarding outside the hall, while he held her on his lap and kissed her.

Jiang Lingyue was a little dazed. This scene was too familiar.

If the palace was replaced with the Changyue Palace where she lived in her previous life...

"Pay attention!"

Jiang Lingyue suddenly came back to her senses when she felt a pain on her lips.

The fingers holding her chin tightened, and the fingertips gently stroked her lips. Qi Junyi's expression was dull, "What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking," Jiang Lingyue buried her face in his neck and whispered, "I... am not feeling well today and cannot serve Your Majesty."

The girl in his arms was so shy that even her voice was trembling.

The unhappiness in his heart dissipated, Qi Junyi's expression relaxed slightly, he put his arm around her shoulders and said, "I didn't ask you to serve me."

Jiang Lingyue raised her head from his arms: "Your Majesty, are you leaving?"

"Why," he asked, "don't you want me to leave?"

"I don't dare."

"I dare not..." He repeated in a low voice and smiled, "That means I have this intention."

"Your Majesty has misunderstood," Jiang Lingyue straightened her face and said seriously, "I have never had such thoughts."

She couldn't sleep with the emperor, but she didn't want him to find another place to sleep with her. What a rebellious thought! Not to mention that she had completely cut off all feelings for him now, she had never had such a thought even when she was a concubine in her previous life.

A few days after her rebirth, she had been acting almost all the time when facing him, but only now could she say these words from the heart.

Unexpectedly, after these words were spoken, the man in front of him remained silent for a long time.

The hall fell inexplicably quiet, even the fingertips that were slowly stroking the lips paused.

Although Jiang Lingyue was a little confused, this man's thoughts had been unpredictable for a long time. She had long been accustomed to it and just thought that her words had offended him again.

In the stagnant atmosphere, he suddenly said, "But what did they say during the day?"

Jiang Lingyue was stunned.

He continued, "Don't have as much contact with them in the future."

Jiang Lingyue pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Your Majesty, are you going to restrain my feet?"

“…” Qi Junyi was speechless for a long time.

If it were someone else, he would have thought that the other person was doing it on purpose, but seeing the frank and clear eyes of the little girl in his arms, he couldn't help but sigh, "With your brain, you can't beat them."

His voice was filled with a hint of doting, and after he finished speaking, he even kissed her on the forehead, "Stay away from them in the future."

As the warm breath approached, Jiang Lingyue's heart skipped a beat.

Something seemed to surge out of my mind.

Inside Changyue Palace, the same person in front of her pinched her waist, sighed with a smile, "Stay away from them. With your brain, you can't beat them."

That's what she said then.

She said, "Will Your Majesty protect me?"

And that elegant young emperor also coaxed her with such doting words as he did now, "If I don't protect you, how can you still be here and act like a spoiled child with me?"

Ever since she had a miscarriage, he didn't like her associating with the concubines in the harem.

Even after Jiang Lingxin entered the palace, he did not allow them to get close to each other because they were sisters.

It was as if they wanted to isolate her from the harem. Even the Changyue Palace where she lived was close to the former court, not much different from the Ning'an Palace where she lived now.

She ascended to the position of noble concubine and was the undisputed number one in the harem. During the New Year and other festivals, the concubines from the six palaces had to come to Changyue Palace to pay their respects to her.

He also only allowed them to pay their respects at the temple gate.

During the Lantern Festival in the ninth year of Jingtai's reign, she was too weak to go to Taiji Hall to accompany him in entertaining the ministers, so when the concubines in the palace came to pay their respects, she opened the hall door and welcomed them in.

It was also on that day that she was scolded by his eldest prince to the point of being furious and vomiting blood. She died without waiting for his arrival.

And now, Jiang Lingyue can finally confirm her guess.

He too is born again.

This is the only way to explain why, by such a coincidence, he always says exactly the same words as in his previous life.

So she would go to bed earlier than in her previous life.

So she was directly promoted from Jiang Baolin to Chen Wanyi.

So she could live alone in the palace.

He even exempted all the concubines from paying respects to the Shaoguang Palace.

All these changes are due to his rebirth.

And he did all this for her.

The moment this conclusion appeared in her mind, Jiang Lingyue's eyelashes trembled, and she subconsciously lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes.

He must have just been feeling guilty. After all, in her previous life, she was the most favored imperial concubine in the harem, but she was insulted by his eldest son until she vomited blood and died. This was an event worthy of being recorded in history.

Her reputation as the evil concubine who bewitched the emperor's heart will be engraved on the pillar of shame in history and will never be washed away.

Even if he only treated her as a substitute, he did pamper her for many years.

She is spoiled by her temperament and cannot tolerate any grievance.

He felt guilty towards her and didn't want to see her bowing and paying respects to his other concubines...

It seems to make sense.

Anyway...it can't be any other reason.

The girl in his arms didn't answer for a long time, and Qi Junyi's expression couldn't help but change.

"Unhappy?" He sighed softly and patiently coaxed, "I don't think you're stupid, it's just that you've just entered the palace and don't know how treacherous people are. If someone smiles at you, you assume they're good."
