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

As if he had anticipated her coming, in the study, His Majesty the Emperor was not reviewing memorials, but washing his hands and making tea.

He was facing this side, sitting in an elegant posture with his back straight. The rising heat blurred his facial features, and one could only see that he looked contented, and his beautiful hands were slowly fiddling with a set of white jade tea sets.

Seeing her come in, Qi Junyi raised his chin towards the opposite side and said with a smile: "Sit down."

Jiang Lingyue followed suit and sat down.

The person opposite held a jade pot, poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

His hands were beautiful, with distinct joints and broad palms. They looked slender and strong, giving a sense of security. He held the small porcelain cup firmly in his fingertips, and the pale yellow tea inside made his cold white skin look even cleaner.

"..." Jiang Lingyue felt inexplicably dry in the mouth and almost shook it.

She coughed dryly, took the porcelain cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Qi Junyi frowned, "Iron it carefully!"

Jiang Lingyue: “…”

She had already swallowed it and was looking at him with her innocent almond-shaped eyes.

Qi Junyi's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, "The water just boiled, don't you feel it's hot?"

As he spoke, he leaned over with his hands on the tea table and pinched her cheek, "Open your mouth, let me see."

Jiang Lingyue was unwilling to open her mouth. She shook her head and said, "It's not hot."

Although it was boiling water, the porcelain cup was very small, and the little bit of tea in it quickly dissipated the heat.

So, she drank it directly. It did feel a little hot, but not unbearable.

Since she refused, Qi Junyi had no choice but to give up. When he refilled her cup, he moved the porcelain cup further away, as if he was afraid that she would drink it again.

“…” Jiang Lingyue remained silent.

After calming down, she finally remembered why she came. She held her chin with one hand and looked at the man opposite her, "Qi Hengzhi..."

"Hmm?" Qi Junyi raised his eyes slightly, looked at her for a moment, and said softly, "Ask whatever you want to ask."

Jiang Lingyue didn't bother to be polite and asked directly, "You're not the type to meddle in other people's affairs. Why did you advise Aunt Xie to seriously consider the divorce?"

Hearing this, Qi Junyi couldn't help but chuckle, "You do understand me."

After receiving her annoyed look, he didn't answer but asked, "So Yueyue, do you think it would be better for her to get a divorce?"

He stopped what he was doing and straightened his expression. "The Xie family has long been in decline, with no family members left. You might as well imagine what kind of situation she would face if she really returned home with her daughter."

"You think I haven't thought about it?" Jiang Lingyue's eyes dimmed. "In my eyes, Aunt Xie is just like my biological mother. Since I support her divorce, I naturally weighed the pros and cons for her."

In a world where men are in power, even orphans and widows are looked down upon.

Not to mention two women supporting the household on their own.

It will definitely be a thousand times more difficult.

"It's true that rumors can kill people, but so what!" Jiang Lingyue said, "No matter how bad it gets, it won't be worse than the situation in the Wang family!"

Qi Junyi's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Lingyue laughed. "Wang Shaofu is your trusted and beloved minister. Did you know that when he asked to marry my Aunt Xie, he promised to never have another lover, but now he has several beautiful concubines in his backyard?"

Qi Junyi knew about this matter in his previous life.

Seeing him nod slightly, Jiang Lingyue continued, "A gentleman's promise is his bond. He broke it just like that, especially when his wife is getting older and her beauty is fading. This shows how cold and heartless he is."

"This..." Qi Junyi was silent for a few breaths, then said, "He seemed to be taking in a concubine out of consideration for his offspring, and he never did anything to favor his concubine over his wife."

So, it can’t be said to be cold and heartless.

Jiang Lingyue naturally understood his subtext.

She exploded on the spot, and a surge of evil fire came up from nowhere.

"How can this be justified? He did something treacherous, but before he could favor his concubine over his wife, that doesn't mean he's a good man. Does that mean Aunt Xie is ungrateful just because she's thinking of a divorce?"

"Are you arguing about having children?" Jiang Lingyue sneered, "Aunt Xie doesn't want to have children anymore? Why hasn't she been able to get pregnant for many years? Isn't it because she injured herself when she gave birth to Wan'er?"

A good girl married him, they were childhood sweethearts and loved each other.

She carried the baby for him for ten months and gave birth to the fruit of their love, but she was injured during the birth of the girl and could no longer get pregnant.

When she grew older and had no one to rely on, he planned to find another beautiful girl to have a son with.

But just because he didn't favor his concubine and kill his wife, he isn't considered cold-hearted and heartless?

She is so tolerant towards men, and all the good things come to her!

There was a hint of coldness in her eyes and she spoke indifferently. This scene had just happened a few months ago when the last layer of secret between them was revealed.

Qi Junyi didn't expect her to have such a big reaction. After being startled for a moment, he frowned and said, "I didn't mean that, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"Is this just the way the world is? Having no successor is a grave sin, and childlessness is one of the seven grounds for divorce. Wang Shaofu hasn't divorced his wife. He's already a rare good man, even with a lantern."

"Qi Hengzhi, do you remember what you said?" Jiang Lingyue looked at him and said, "You said that liking someone will make you jealous and heartbroken. It's not just men's pain that you feel. Do you want to think about how much pain Aunt Xie must be going through?"

As if I’m afraid he still can’t understand.

After a slight pause, she said, "Can you accept me having children with another man?"

"Shut up!"

Qi Junyi stood up suddenly and asked, "Can you say anything?"

Jiang Lingyue was silent for a moment, then pursed her lips, refusing to give in. "Look, I was just talking, and you made such a fuss. Wang Shaofu has already done this, and you're still speaking for him."

While she was speaking, Qi Junyi had already walked in front of her, and before she finished speaking, his jaw was lifted up.

What caught my eye was his ashen face.

"Jiang Lingyue," his eyes turned cold, "If you dare to speak without restraint in the future, you'll have to give me a try."
