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

"Sister is awake?" Outside the door, Ishihara Qing, who was about to leave, heard the sound of the door opening and his eyes lit up. Just as he was about to say something, he saw an extra person inside and his body suddenly stiffened.

The eyes that were as bright as stars gradually dimmed.

Like an eggplant hit by frost, it suddenly lost its spirit.

Xie An Ning couldn't bear to see him like this, so she quickly explained, "He just came in and said he had something to tell me, so I asked him in."

"Xie Anning!" Wang Shaofu, who was standing behind her, clenched his fists, his back teeth clattering. "Why should we explain our relationship to others?"

He was almost going crazy with jealousy at the way she coaxed other men like a child and tried to explain things to them with eager eyes.

Everyone in the capital knew that they had been married for more than ten years. They had been married since childhood, so what was the big deal about sleeping in the same bed? Why did they need to explain it so carefully?

Are you afraid of misunderstandings caused by the surname Shi?

But has she ever thought about where she put him in front of him?

The man behind him was furious, but Xie Anning didn't even turn around. He just looked at the man holding the basin in front of him and continued to explain seriously: "I didn't do anything with him, really."

This scene is really rare in a world where men are in power.

Ishihara Qing smiled with difficulty, "Of course I believe my sister."

His eyes passed over Xie Anning's shoulder and looked behind her.

The two men looked at each other, and sparks flew in the air.

Xie An Ning felt an inexplicable chill down his spine and said hurriedly, "All of you go out. I need to get ready."

These two men were more difficult to deal with than the other, and she was prepared to have another round of arguments with them.

Unexpectedly, beyond expectations, they all cooperated very well.

Wang Shaofu nodded first, then walked out the door first, and Ishihara Qing followed immediately.

Before the door closed, Wang Shaofu turned around and said with a smile, "Keep the used water. I haven't washed my face yet."

No matter where Young Master Wang goes, he never lacks water to wash his face.

He said this, almost explicitly.

I just got up and haven't washed my face yet.

Xie Anning's face immediately turned dark, and the door slammed shut with a bang.

She doesn't have the best fortune, so why does she feel so tired?

This was the most worrying time for Xie Anning when she was getting dressed.

Listen to the noise outside with your ears perked up.

I'm really afraid that the two men will start fighting if they have a disagreement.

But she was still slow and reluctant to go out and face it.

Wang Shaofu was so shameless that she couldn't drive him away.

She was reluctant to drive Ishihara Qing away.

But the three of them looked at each other, in the same courtyard...

She was so restless!

It was not until the door was knocked again and Ishihara Qing's voice came from outside that Xie An Ning went to open the door.

Wang Shaofu was no longer in the courtyard.

Seeing her searching eyes, Ishihara Qing pursed his lips slightly, "Who are you looking for, sister?"

"..." Xie An Ning was silent for a moment, then asked frankly, "Where are the others?"

Ishihara Qing didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.

Xie Anning was so jealous that he was praying to Buddha in his heart.

"I'm not reluctant to let him go," she stated solemnly, "I wish he would never appear in front of me again, but he doesn't look like he will give up. I just want to ask, what did you say? Will he come back?"

Hearing this, Ishihara Qing's expression looked much better.

He said, "Now that you've entered the palace, Dahan governs the country with filial piety. He's an important official in the court. Since he wants to leave his family and disobey his parents, he naturally needs to explain his reasons to His Majesty first... Perhaps he would also like to ask His Majesty and the Empress to come forward and persuade you."

There was another reason he didn't say, but Xie Anning could guess it.

That was her case.

Even though she had been pardoned, given Wang Shaofu's cautious nature, he would definitely plead with the Emperor to get a definite answer.

As for asking the Imperial Concubine to come forward and persuade her...

Wang Shaofu was a third-rank minister.

As his legal wife, she was previously granted the fourth rank imperial decree.

As a woman of noble rank, if her husband favored his concubine over his wife, her mother-in-law was malicious, or something happened in the mansion, she could go to the palace and ask the Empress to make a decision if she had any grievances.

Something as serious as a divorce must be approved by the Queen Mother before it can be considered completely resolved.

Although the throne is vacant now, Jiang Lingyue is in charge of the harem and holds the phoenix seal. It is natural for her to summon the ladies from outside the palace to inquire about the reasons for the divorce and perform the duties of the queen.

Ishihara Qing thought of the Imperial Concubine's instructions to him that day in Guang'an Palace, and pursed his lips, saying, "I'm afraid his plan will be in vain."

"I see that the Imperial Concubine is very close to you. I'm afraid she has long been dissatisfied with Wang Shaofu and is eager for you to divorce."

"...That's right." Xie Anning thought of Jiang Lingyue's search for "clean" male favorites and the positive attitude she was giving her. The corners of her lips twitched slightly. "I actually hope that after Wang Shaofu hits a wall with His Majesty and the Empress, he can face reality and give up completely."

Completely give up...

"That might be difficult," Ishihara Qing smiled softly, stretching out his arms to embrace her, "An Ning, he has challenged me."

"…What did you say?"

Ishihara Qing did not answer but asked: "Did he really come early in the morning?"

“…” Xie Anning calmed himself down and chose to confess.

After carefully explaining how she woke up and found someone beside her, she angrily said, "We've known each other for over twenty years, even though things have been falling apart, but in my eyes, Wang Shaofu has always been a gentle and polite person who is good at weighing the pros and cons and behaves with moderation... I never thought he would be so shameless."

Ishihara Qing hugged her, and when he heard her say that Wang Shaofu had sneaked into bed with her in the middle of the night, the hand that was stroking the back of her neck uncontrollably used some force.

"I'm sorry," he bent down and kissed her hair, "It's my fault for not being prepared in advance."

He didn't expect that she would come back and look for her again at night.

His beloved woman was molested, but he could sleep peacefully just across the wall from her!

Xie Anning is not an unreasonable person, so how could he blame him?

No matter how you look at it, it's not his fault.

Seeing him take the responsibility on himself, I felt even more guilty.

She put her arms around him and said, "I don't blame you. I blame that person for not playing by the rules and being so shameless!"

“…He treats you…”

"He didn't do anything!" Xie Anning interrupted him before he could finish. "Really, he didn't do anything!"

She tilted her head back so he could see her face and lips.

Indeed, it doesn't look like he has done anything.

But Ishihara Qing didn't feel very happy.

He was extremely jealous and looked at her with red eyes, "Are you just going to indulge him like this?"

"!! I indulged him!?" Xie An Ning's eyes widened, "Where did you get that from?"

"I know you didn't volunteer, but he insists on taking advantage of your status as your 'ex-husband' and treating you without any regard for your rights. What should I do?"

When he said the word "ex-husband", his eyes were cold and he was obviously very angry about what happened last night.

So, Xie Anning said, "What do you think we should do?"

"The case will be heard tomorrow. I'll be in charge of the security arrangements when we get home. I'll also be in charge of the guards and soldiers in the mansion."

Ishihara Qing said: "Just like now, I want to live in the same yard with you, eat and live together."

"..." Xie An Ning was silent for a moment, then looked at him and said, "Do you still want to sleep together?"

"Is it okay?" Ishihara Qing showed hope on his face. "As long as Sister nods, as long as Sister is willing, I will have no objections."

Xie Anning was speechless.

…………

royal palace.

Jiang Lingyue has been very busy this year.

Apart from receiving several waves of ladies who came to the palace to pay their respects during the first month of the year, he was busy every day with the arrangements for royal sacrificial ceremonies.

The royal family began the new year's ancestor worship ceremony, and she was not familiar with many of the procedures. Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu were either deposed or imprisoned this year. The priests who were in charge of them in previous years fell into Jiang Lingyue's hands this year.

She had never organized one before, so she issued an imperial decree to summon several old princesses from the royal family to the palace to assist in the organization.

Jiang Lingyue herself couldn't escape the idleness and needed to take a look.

Fortunately, after the third year of junior high school, everything gradually became easier to handle and no longer seemed too complicated.

Most of the time, I was with His Majesty the Emperor, and we were so affectionate with each other that it felt extremely sweet.

When Wang Shaofu entered the palace for an audience, they hadn't even gotten up yet.

In the bedroom of Ning'an Palace, Jiang Lingyue lay in the emperor's arms, poking his Adam's apple from time to time.

Qi Junyi was very good-tempered and let things take their course.

After a while, he took her fingertips and squeezed them.

"See?" he asked.

Just now, Liu Rong reported outside the door that Wang Shaofu was in Guang'an Hall not only seeking to see the Emperor, but also the Imperial Concubine.

Its purpose is self-evident.

Everything that happened in the Dali Temple yesterday was reported to the palace.

Jiang Lingyue said: "No."

She straightened up, looked up from the emperor's arms, and said with a smile, "Tell me, does Wang Shaofu deserve it?"

She enjoys watching the fun.

I just think Aunt Xie did a great job.

Ishihara-sensei is also great.

He defeated Wang Shaofu's army.

It was good enough that she didn't add insult to injury, but how could she possibly meet with Wang Shaofu and speak up for him?

She smiled mischievously, showing undisguised gloating.

His Majesty the Emperor sighed softly, not daring to say anything to help Wang Shaofu. He simply said, "Then you rest here. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he was about to sit up, but Jiang Lingyue used her hands and feet to wrap around him.

"Let him hang out for a while!" She climbed onto his neck and chuckled, "If he really wants to sever ties with the Wang family, will you think he's indulging in romantic relationships and unfit for important tasks?"

"..." Deeply aware of the girl's dislike for the Wang family, and fearing he would become an innocent victim, the Emperor grew wary and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth?"

Jiang Lingyue nodded: "Of course!"

of course……

Qi Junyi smiled, "To be honest, I can't."

He put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his arms. "People who are too good at weighing the pros and cons and who prioritize profit should not be overused. On the contrary, people who are passionate and emotional are more humane."

What he wants are talents who serve the country and the people, not a cold and ruthless political machine.

A person of great talent, profound knowledge, loyalty to his master, and gratitude for his kindness is the one whom a ruler loves most.

If Wang Shaofu could really abandon his wife of more than ten years without hesitation for the sake of his parents, then he would have to consider whether he should reuse her.

Jiang Lingyue thought about it and agreed to some extent.

Putting aside all prejudices, Wang Shaofu is a man of upright character, with a bottom line, and a capable minister who truly has strategies for governing the country.

Such useful talents are indeed rare.

No wonder the rather picky Emperor found it particularly easy to use in his previous life.

She was a little moved.

He wanted to ask Wang Shaofu to work under him.

But then I thought, if she really did a lot of hard work for him and he wanted his wife back, would she help him or not?

Forget it...

Jiang Lingyue sighed, "I think he is really in love with Aunt Xie. How could it come to this?"

At this point, she actually doesn't have much prejudice against Wang Shaofu.

However, asking her to persuade Aunt Xie to change her mind was absolutely impossible.

In the previous life, both Aunt Xie and Wan'er's lives were lost at the hands of the Wang family, right under Wang Shaofu's nose.

Even if her intervention in this life prevented the tragedy of the previous life from happening.

But that is an indisputable fact.

Qi Junyi lowered his eyes and smiled, "Perhaps it's because the road to marrying the girl he loves was too smooth, and he didn't realize how lucky it was to be together forever with mutual love. He just thought it was ordinary, so he was willing to destroy it."

Once the peaceful happiness is broken, you will realize how wrong you are.

Know what you have lost.

In his previous life, Qi Junyi had never tasted the happiness of mutual consent, but he had suffered the pain of losing his loved one. No one knew better than him how desperate it was.

Jiang Lingyue felt a little distressed. Now she knew how to care for her man even more.

She climbed up his neck and covered his lips with his, smiling and coaxing him: "Don't be sad, I will give birth to a child to comfort you. Just imagine, a baby calling you father, wouldn't your heart melt?"

"..." Qi Junyi pursed his lips, "I don't think so."

On the contrary, he was very scared.

Ever since she stopped using the contraceptive incense, this girl seemed to have been freed from her restraints and kept talking about the baby.

Many times, Qi Junyi felt a little nervous when listening to it. He didn't dare to be too reckless in matters in bed and was particularly frightened.

I was afraid that she would really get a baby in her belly.

This person really has no expectations for having offspring.

Jiang Lingyue was annoyed and helpless, but finally couldn't help laughing: "Maybe you already have one. When the child is born, you have to act like a father and don't be too bad to the child."

...I started protecting him before he was even born.

Qi Junyi was unhappy that someone was distracting her.

Even their children.

He stood up, stretched out his arms and pulled the girl on the couch into his arms, "Are you really not going?"

"Well, no," Jiang Lingyue refused to leave the bed and only reminded: "Go early and come back early, and wait for you to come back for lunch."

Since the beginning of winter, she has become increasingly tired.

Qi Junyi didn't force her, he said ok. He bent down and kissed the corner of her lips, loosened his arms, tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and then went to the outer room to change clothes.

As soon as he left, Jiang Lingyue lay in bed for a while before slowly getting up.

It's sunny outside, what a nice day.

She decided to go to Dali Temple to see Aunt Xie.

On a whim, he decided to keep everything simple, taking only a few guards with him and leaving the palace.

Ever since Xie Anning was imprisoned, Jiang Lingyue has wanted to visit him in person.

However, Zhengyue was indeed too busy to leave, and knowing that Aunt Xie and her daughter were fine, she did not rush to go.

Today, since His Majesty the Emperor has some free time, he will go to meet his subjects, so she can go out of the palace for a while.
