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

These words are concise and powerful.

Qi Junyi was silent for a long time and did not move for several breaths.

Jiang Lingyue waited patiently, just staring at the man beside the couch without blinking.

He was very tall and had the light behind him, so from her perspective, she could only see his slightly protruding Adam's apple rolling.

Then, the hand with slender fingers and smooth lines slowly raised up, took off the outer shirt, and reached for the belt of the pajamas.

Soon, the already loose collar of the pajamas was completely opened.

Jiang Lingyue sniffed, reached out her hand very willingly, and touched the emperor's abdomen.

…………

afterwards.

The girl, who was full of energy, tossed and turned until she was completely exhausted and collapsed on the couch.

Qi Junyi held her shoulders and kissed her beautiful butterfly bones from time to time, "Yueyue..."

Jiang Lingyue was lazy and unwilling to speak, just nodded lightly.

She thought he was going to say some heart-wrenching sweet words to coax her into doing it again.

Or maybe it's just the intimate whispers when the feelings are strong.

In short, there were only these two reasons why he called her name on the bed.

However, this time it was different.

The man behind her massaged her shoulders and neck while whispering, "I will kill anyone who dares to have evil thoughts towards you."

The tone was calm, but the words were really abrupt.

Jiang Lingyue's whole body stiffened, and infinite joy suddenly surged in her heart.

Did he change his mind?

After she chose to express her true feelings to him directly without any concealment, did he also feel her sincerity and be willing to believe her feelings?

What does he want to confess?

Is he not going to take advantage of such a ridiculous temptation?

If, if... he really confessed to her...

Jiang Lingyue suppressed her pounding heart, turned around and looked at him, and said, "Who has evil thoughts towards me again? ...Which concubine in the harem?"

Her tone was full of anticipation.

Given His Majesty the Emperor's usual keenness, he would definitely be able to hear it.

But he had something on his mind.

Therefore, after hearing this, he only paused for a moment, and then said, "Concubine Hui has been deposed, and the only two left are Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu."

As he spoke, he finally noticed that the little girl's eyes, still moist, were looking at him without blinking. His heart softened and he couldn't help but pat her little head.

He coaxed, "In their past lives, those who committed evil did evil, and those who watched as onlookers, without exception, all paid the price. In this life, as long as they no longer have evil thoughts, I will spare their lives and accumulate blessings for you and me in order to seek blessings in the next life."

"...Is that so." Jiang Lingyue held her breath, her lips moved, and she forced a smile: "Anything else?"

"Didn't you ask me last time why I didn't attack Concubine Xian?" Qi Junyi suppressed his surging murderous intent, hugged the person in his arms tightly, and said, "I'll give her a chance to choose. Whether she lives or dies depends on what she does."

His tone was calm and he appeared kind and magnanimous, but only he knew how deep his murderous intentions towards Concubine Xian were.

Jiang Lingyue didn't know what news he had received when Liu Rong called him out just now, but when she heard his words now, she already understood that he had no intention of confessing to her.

Even... I don’t know whether he has given up the idea of ​​testing me.

The anticipation rising in my heart suddenly vanished.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Jiang Lingyue frown uncomfortably.

The hand around his waist slowly tightened.

——Qi Hengzhi,...don’t make me regret falling in love with you again.

She only has so much courage, and she really can't stand the repeated suspicions and tests.

If the love he gives is always filled with suspicion and scrutiny, she would rather not have such love.

At least, it's not worthy of her pure sincerity in return.

Jiang Lingyue felt a little aggrieved, but she couldn't question him directly.

Direct questioning only resulted in another round of compromise.

She would have to wait and see what he was going to do.

…………

Censorate, dusk.

Wang Shaofu, who was about to leave Beijing tomorrow, returned to the main courtyard early.

Xie Anning was still checking accounts in the study. When he walked in, he saw his wife sitting upright on a chair, looking down at her eyes, concentrating on flipping through the account book, and... his daughter was next to her mother, holding a book and reading intently.

The Wang family has strict rules. Even ordinary families avoid the taboo of "a girl should avoid her father when she grows up", but the Wang family takes it even more seriously.

Wang Shaofu rarely sets foot in his daughter's yard.

So, the father and daughter haven't seen each other for several days.

He took a few steps closer, wanting to say something, but his eyes accidentally swept across the pages of his daughter's book, and his relaxed brows furrowed slightly.

Peirong's greeting startled Wang Wan, who then realized that her father had walked behind her without her noticing.

She immediately closed the book, stood up and saluted: "Father is back."

Wang Shaofu looked at the huge characters "Spring and Autumn" on the cover of the book, and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something. When he finally opened his mouth, he said, "Don't you think these books are obscure and difficult to understand, like chewing wax?"

Having only one daughter, she was like a treasure, raised in the palm of my hand.

When the child was three or four years old, Wang Shaofu held the little one on his lap and taught him personally.

But when Wang Wan was young, she was as naughty as a monkey and very lively. When Wang Shaofu taught his daughter to read and write, he discovered that although she was smart, she was not the type to sit still.

Fortunately, she was a girl, so he didn't supervise her too strictly.

And now...

Hearing her father's words, Wang Wan clenched the book in her hand and laughed dryly, "That was when I was little. Ever since my grandmother forced me to read Nu Ze and Lienu Zhuan, I've found these books quite enjoyable to read carefully."

"Oh?"

Wang Shaofu smiled, took the book from his daughter's hand, sat down, flipped through a few pages, and found that there were actually some marked understandings on them.

Of course he recognized his daughter's handwriting, and his eyes were filled with even deeper surprise.

The movement of the father and daughter attracted Xie Anning, who was checking the accounts over there, to look over.

When Wang Wan saw this, she felt something in her heart. She knew her mother's plan and also understood why her mother was determined to choose divorce.

It's just that she has deep feelings for her father, and if possible, she doesn't want to...

Thinking of the situation after her parents' divorce, Wang Wan tried to make a final attempt to save the relationship.

She gathered herself together and spoke with hope, "Father, since you don't believe in my daughter's talent, how about testing her with a few questions? If she answers correctly, I'll allow her to teach at Xiaoxiang Academy."

"Xiaoxiang Library?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Shaofu frowned again and said in a deep voice: "You haven't given up this idea yet?"

"..."

Wang Wan was speechless for a moment.

The atmosphere suddenly became cold and solemn.

"Alright," Xie An Ning put down the account book in his hand, stood up and said, "It's getting late, and the wind is strong at night. Wan'er, you can't stand the cold, so go back first."

"...Yes." Wang Wan pursed her lips, glanced at her father, and was about to turn around when she was called.

"No rush," Wang Shaofu said, "My father will leave Beijing tomorrow and will not be back for at least a month. Stay and have dinner with me and your mother."

It’s still the Wang family rule.

The family only gets together for the family dinner on the 15th of every month. Normally, the younger generation cannot sit at the same table with the elders.

The family banquet is divided into male and female seats.

Therefore, since returning to Beijing, the three of them have never actually sat at the same table to dine together like this.

He didn't think much of it at first, but after he sat down and saw his wife and daughter eating in silence, Wang Shaofu was shocked to realize how estranged his family had become.

After dinner, Wang Wan left her mother's yard under the cover of night.

After walking out of the gate, she turned around and looked at the brightly lit courtyard, her eyes red.

She knew that she and her daughter could not stay in the Wang family for long.
