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

After the words were spoken, there was a long silence, and the warm atmosphere just now became a little stagnant.

Jiang Lingyue's heart skipped a beat, and a hand appeared on her shoulder, turning her around.

She pursed her lips and whispered, "Did I guess wrong?"

Qi Junyi looked at her for a long time, then suddenly asked, "How could Yueyue think that someone would dare to anger me?"

This question left Jiang Lingyue stumped.

She blinked and said nothing.

Qi Junyi sighed helplessly, "I went to Concubine Hui to tell her that she doesn't need to take care of you anymore. All matters in Ning'an Palace will no longer be under the control of the harem."

“…” Jiang Lingyue’s pupils gradually dilated.

Seeing her like this, Qi Junyi's eyes were filled with emotion. He moved closer and asked her in a low voice, "Tell me, how have I treated you since you entered the palace?"

Jiang Lingyue said: "...Your Majesty treats me very well."

Qi Junyi hummed softly, glancing at her with a half-smile: "I treat you so well, but I went to Shaoguang Palace today, and you seem even happier."

"You're mistaken," Jiang Lingyue finally understood what he was angry about. She was speechless, but she said seriously, "I was just forcing a smile."

Forced smile...

Qi Junyi repeated it softly and chuckled, "So, Yueyue isn't actually happy?"

As he spoke, his slender knuckles touched her cheek, and his fingertips slowly stroked her tender lips.

I sighed inwardly, but that’s not entirely true.

There are still people who dare to make him angry.

Hasn't he been frustrated enough by this girl?

He was born noble and held the power of life and death in his hands when he was young. Even the most stubborn civil officials in the court did not dare to touch his reverse scale and make him unhappy.

Only she, with a casual and relaxed smile, could make him furious.

But she still doesn't realize it.

Qi Junyi was so perceptive that he could see that after all these days, she still didn't care about him at all.

She appears to be respectful and submissive, allowing him to have whatever he wants, but in fact she is arrogant and unruly, and doesn't take him seriously.

...I don't know how long he can tolerate such indifference.

Thinking of this, he poked her cheek with his finger and asked, "What will you do if I don't come back tonight?"

how is it?

Of course, just take a shower and go to bed.

I don’t have to be so alert to deal with him, and I can have the bed all to myself. How wonderful it is.

But no matter how slow she was, Jiang Lingyue knew that she couldn't say this out loud.

……Right.

Men, especially those who hold power, are used to being self-centered. How can they allow their women to be indifferent to them?

Jiang Lingyue thought for a moment and whispered, "Secretly hiding in bed and crying?"

“…” Qi Junyi looked at her expressionlessly.

That look makes people feel creepy.

Jiang Lingyue finally experienced what it means to serve the emperor like serving a tiger.

Seeing her wooden appearance, Qi Junyi felt a little headache. He grabbed her waist and lifted her up, then leaned his forehead against hers and taught her, "Yueyue, I am your husband. If I go to other women, you will be unhappy."

Their foreheads touched, and the pair of bright and gentle eyes were right in front of her. Jiang Lingyue could even see a hint of helplessness in them.

But why couldn't she understand what he said?

If I go to other women, you will be unhappy...

Jiang Lingyue gradually held her breath, and her already exhausted brain seemed to shut down. She heard her own stiff voice.

"But Your Majesty is also my sisters' husband. The expansion of the royal family is of utmost importance. How could I, a concubine, harbor any desire to possess him exclusively?"

Ever since she had a miscarriage in her previous life, the word "offspring" had become a topic that neither of them ever mentioned.

But she remembered very well that she was still a new concubine who had just been favored by the emperor, and she did not feel uncomfortable at all when it was mentioned.

Instead, Qi Junyi's eyes gradually dimmed, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. He didn't speak for a long time.

It was a long time, so long that Jiang Lingyue was drowsy, that she vaguely heard him say something.

I was just feeling sleepy and didn't hear clearly.

I was tortured badly last night, and he didn't let me off tonight either.

She was so tired that she had to force herself to speak to him for a few words. Now she didn't even have the strength to get up and wash, and fell asleep.

Qi Junyi lowered his eyes and looked at the girl with a red face sleeping in his arms, his eyes were gloomy and unclear.

After a while, he sighed softly.

Forget it, now that she has just entered the palace, she is still thinking about other people, so he should be more patient and coax her.

After all, the person is already his, so there is no need to be too anxious about the rest.

The result of being impatient and angry in the previous life was that the two of them had conflicts, drifted apart, and finally regretted it.

Now that he could start over, he would definitely love and protect her, and ask her to completely let go of others and fall in love with him.

…………

The next day.

Jiang Lingyue missed breakfast as usual. When she woke up, the people around her were gone and the sun was already at its zenith outside.

When she sat up, she gasped for air because of the pain in her waist. Fortunately, her body felt fresh and clean. She knew that after she fell asleep, His Majesty the Emperor condescended to hold her and wash her body.

This kind of thing was nothing in her previous life, so she was not flattered. However, Jinshu, Jinyu, and Nanny Qian couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.

Seeing that the mistress had been leaning against the soft pillow, Madam Qian said, "This servant knows a little bit about massage techniques, and I can help the Majesty relax a little."

Hearing this, Jiang Lingyue didn't hesitate and immediately took off her coat and lay on the couch wearing only a small dress.

Nanny Qian washed her hands, scooped a spoonful of ointment and spread it on her palms, then began to massage her skin slowly and carefully.

Seeing the obvious fingerprints on her waist, a smile appeared on his face.

Jiang Lingyue was not a real seventeen-year-old girl, but she still felt embarrassed and pursed her lips when she was laughed at.

"To be so favored by His Majesty is something many women in the harem could only dream of. You don't need to feel uncomfortable," Nanny Qian smiled slightly and said softly, "Your Highness has only recently entered the palace. Perhaps you don't yet understand how cold-hearted our Majesty is and how much favor you receive."

Jiang Lingyue rested her head on her elbow, half-closed her eyes, and did not speak.

She had personally experienced how cold-hearted that man was, so how could she not know?

only……

Jiang Lingyue really didn't understand what he said last night, "If I go to other women, you will be unhappy."

Even in the year when she loved him the most, she had never developed any possessive desire for him.

It is natural for the emperor to visit his concubines.

Not to mention that she was just one of his concubines, even if she was his queen, she had no right to be unhappy.

Even for the sake of her offspring, the empress had to persuade the emperor to treat all his children equally and not favor one person over the other.

What did he mean by that?

Why does it sound like he's calling her... jealous?

The moment she came to this conclusion, Jiang Lingyue shuddered, prompting Madam Qian to ask with concern, "Are you cold, Madam?"

"Not cold," Jiang Lingyue shook her head, thought for a moment, and tentatively asked, "In your opinion, Madam, should I befriend the virtuous concubine?"

The emperor's favor is a double-edged sword. It will attract a lot of jealousy and will hurt yourself if you are not careful.

After yesterday, Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui were completely offended, and among the three concubines, only Concubine Xian was still able to get by.

After all, they are cousins, so they can form an alliance in this deep palace.

Nanny Qian said, "The virtuous concubine was born into the Yongle Marquisate and is your cousin. I wonder what your sisterly relationship was like before you entered the palace."

"Not that we're that familiar," Jiang Lingyue said frankly, "We haven't even exchanged a few words."

The virtuous concubine had always disliked her cousin, who was born to an unlucky mother and was not valued by the general's mansion. She was also dissatisfied with her younger brother's marriage to her.

Speaking of which, the arranged marriage between her and her cousin from her uncle's family fell through, and this cousin, who had already married into the Eastern Palace at that time, also had a hand in it.

In her previous life, when she first entered the palace, she was of low status and had little influence, and suffered a lot of bullying. The virtuous concubine never helped her, and the relationship between the sisters living in the same palace was lukewarm.

Later, she became the most favored imperial concubine in the harem, but the virtuous concubine had already given birth to Qi Junyi's only prince. With the royal heir by her side, she could live her life in peace by closing the palace gates. Naturally, there was no need for her to come up and curry favor with him.

Now that I think about it, it is impossible for the eldest prince, a four-year-old child, to point at her and curse her in front of everyone at the Lantern Festival banquet, saying that she deserved to be unable to have children. It would be impossible for him to do so without someone teaching him that.

Thinking of how she was scolded to death by a brat in her previous life, Jiang Lingyue's face was filled with disgust. "Forget it, I'd better not rush to make friends with her."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Madam Qian said with a smile, "I see that His Majesty treats you with special care. If you have any questions, why not ask His Majesty directly?"

She was right. The emperor had been treating Ning'an Palace as his own bedroom these days and came there every day, never worrying about not having opportunities to talk.

But when Jiang Lingyue heard this, her heart suddenly moved, and her slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened and she looked at her.
