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

Jiang Lingyue had no idea how heartbroken he was. Hearing his ambiguous words, she felt that he was hinting at something. Her face immediately darkened. "It's indeed your fault!"

As he said this, he was about to pry the hand around his waist.

Qi Junyi didn't want to make her unhappy, so that she wouldn't take the opportunity to prevent him from getting close to him at night, so he took the opportunity to release his strength.

After letting her stand up, he grabbed her wrist and frankly admitted, "Yes, I am jealous by nature. I will never be able to take your affairs lightly."

If he didn't know that this girl had also fallen in love with him after Chen Ziwei, he would have been even more angry.

Qi Junyi tightened his grip on her delicate wrist and smiled at her again, "But I'm jealous of myself and I can't bear to do anything to you, so don't be angry."

“…” Jiang Lingyue was speechless.

The annoyance that had not yet fully emerged disappeared without a trace in his humble words.

She pursed her lips and wanted to explain a few more words, but then she felt that she had said everything she needed to say.

There's really no need to explain.

He insisted on being hard on her and refused to let it go, and she really had no choice.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lingyue was too lazy to continue talking to him. She pulled her hand away and walked straight to the window.

His palms were empty, and Qi Junyi stared at the back of the person who did not even turn back. After a few breaths of silence, he stood up and followed her.

——It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if you don’t look back. He will catch up with you.

In short, he couldn't let her really abandon him.

The snow seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. In just a short while, there was a layer of snow on the ground.

Jiang Lingyue stood in front of the window, looking at the heavy snow falling outside, and slightly curved her eyes, "The New Year is almost here."

"Yeah, Chinese New Year is coming soon..."

This was their first New Year after their rebirth, and Qi Junyi was delighted. "The poison of the Immortal Drunkenness in your body will be completely removed before the New Year. By the beginning of next spring, we can begin preparations for the coronation ceremony."

As for the position of queen, Jiang Lingyue has no advantage in terms of noble birth, seniority, or offspring.

But probably no one in the court would be surprised by the fact that she was made queen.

After all, in less than a year, His Majesty the Emperor had forcibly promoted her from the lowest-rank Baolin to the head of the Four Concubines.

It has reached the point where it can no longer be sealed.

One step further is the rear position.

Once you enter the palace, you will be favored, and once you are favored, you will be the only one favored, and the emperor’s heart will be in your hands.

As an emperor with real power, as long as Qi Junyi likes her, who can influence who will take over the position of queen?

When it came to becoming a queen, Jiang Lingyue was actually a little confused.

She tilted her head slightly, looked at the smooth profile of the man next to her, and said, "What should a queen be like?"

It was rare that this question stumped Qi Junyi.

The throne of queen had been vacant for a long time. He himself had no queen, and his father did not appoint another queen after his mother passed away.

According to the history of past dynasties, only those who have achieved the highest level of virtue can be worthy of being called the mother of the country.

But he didn't need her to learn any 'virtue'...

Seeing that the girl was waiting for his answer with a curious look on her face, Qi Junyi's heart softened.

"No one is restraining you," he said. "You are the one sitting on the throne of Queen. You will be Queen as you are. No matter what happens, I will protect you."

The implication is, just be yourself.

Jiang Lingyue was stunned after hearing this and asked, "Then what can I do?"

What can be done...

If someone else said this, Qi Junyi would probably think that this was asking for power from him, but this was the girl he was determined to stand shoulder to shoulder with, so he was only stunned for a moment, and then said: "Whatever you want to do, you can do it. The Phoenix Seal will be given to you today."

"!!!" Jiang Lingyue suddenly became excited. She pulled his sleeve and asked, "Seriously?"

Qi Junyi lowered his eyes to glance at her hand holding his sleeve, and couldn't help laughing, "I didn't realize that Yueyue is still a fan of officials."

Jiang Lingyue also realized that her behavior just now did seem a bit greedy for power.

"There's nothing wrong with liking power," Qi Junyi held her hand and said softly, "I was worried about your health and didn't want to overwork, so I didn't give you the Phoenix Seal earlier. I didn't mean any other thing."

Of course Jiang Lingyue knew this.

Qi Junyi added, "I gave the Phoenix Seal to Concubine Hui simply because she was the most suitable, and there was no other reason. Don't add any more blame to my heart."

"..." Jiang Lingyue was silent, "I didn't."

"That's good," Qi Junyi smiled and continued to instruct, "The Phoenix Seal has been delivered to Ning'an Palace, but you are not allowed to work hard until the toxins in your body are completely eliminated. The New Year's Eve palace banquet that should be organized in a few days will be handed over to the subordinates. You are not allowed to bother with anything, do you understand?"

As for the servants, they are of course the virtuous concubine and the virtuous concubine who assist in managing the palace power.

This guy really treats them like female officials and orders them around.

If you count carefully, apart from having the title of palace concubine, the three first-rank concubines have been doing the work of female officials in recent years.

Thinking of the scene in Baohua Palace, Jiang Lingyue couldn't help but ask, "Why did you punish Concubine Hui but show leniency to Concubine Shu?"

Not to mention that Concubine Shu did not commit the crime of insubordination. When beating a dog, one has to look at the owner. Attacking Madam Qian was also disrespectful to her.

No matter what, Concubine Hui was still his cousin.

Why was Concubine Shu treated so lightly and not even given power in the palace?

Qi Junyi, who had tasted something unusual, wanted to laugh again. He barely suppressed it and leaned over to look into the girl's eyes. "Are you jealous?"

"???" Jiang Lingyue blinked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Qi Junyi fell silent, pursed his lips and glared at her.

"Look at what I'm doing," Jiang Lingyue said more innocently, "isn't it?"

"Okay!" His eyes suddenly became fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What I said is nonsense."

After he finished speaking, he reached out and held her chin, lowered his head and kissed her lips heavily, which always said things that made him feel heartbroken.

"Jiang Lingyue!" As their lips and teeth touched, Qi Junyi said hatefully, "You'd better really have loved me!"

She had once been attracted to him, and this was the only thing that comforted him among so many painful and unbearable memories.

It was also what made him turn back to her and always hold out hope.

Although... although he often doubts, can he really let go of someone he truly loved?

At least, he can't.

He tried hard for two lifetimes, but it didn't work.

How could she do that?

Why does she not like it just because she says she doesn’t like it?

The kiss was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Outside the hall, Nanny Qian asked in a low voice whether to serve the meal.

It turned out to be time for lunch, and since Nanny Qian came to ask for instructions, it must have been almost time for dinner.

Jiang Lingyue raised her hand to wipe her lips, glared at the moody man, and responded with a "come in".

The next moment, the palace door was pushed open, and more than a dozen palace maids came in one after another carrying delicious food. They placed the lunch in the side hall without looking around.

Nanny Qian also came in.

"Your Majesty," she said, standing a few steps away, bowing, "The Wang family has sent a letter to the palace, saying they want to express their gratitude to you. Do you want to decide when to let them in, or should you refuse them outright?"
