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

As he spoke, he raised his face and asked her seriously, "But is there anything about me that makes you uncomfortable?"

His voice was still clear and pleasant, but Jiang Lingyue had no time to appreciate it. It was really hard to describe.

She did not want to answer such a rude question, but the emperor stared at her with his narrow eyes, obviously wanting a definite answer.

Jiang Lingyue had no choice but to vaguely say, "No."

"Nothing?" Qi Junyi raised his eyebrows, his smile growing, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Hard...

Jiang Lingyue's fists were about to stiffen. She pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty, if you continue to tease me..."

Seeing that the person was about to get angry, Qi Junyi stopped and pulled the person into his arms with a smile, "I really have spoiled your temper."

He remembered that when he had just been reborn, the girl was like a little rabbit. She didn't even dare to breathe loudly when he held her in his arms.

In order not to shock her, he carefully recalled how they got along in the beginning of his previous life, and planned to proceed step by step.

As a result, the effort failed in just three days.

Because he couldn't bear to see her being bullied by him at night, and she had to go to Shaoguang Palace in the morning.

She was even more unbearable to see her bowing to other concubines.

In his previous life, he did not take the person under his wings early on because he could not accept that his emotions were controlled by a woman, and he stubbornly fought with himself.

On the one hand, he is unwilling to follow his heart to pamper her, but on the other hand, he cannot help wanting her.

For a long time, being nice to her felt awkward.

It’s too late to regret...

Now that he could live his life again, he couldn't bear to see her suffer even the slightest bit of injustice.

Being nice to her directly and completely following my heart is so comforting.

Look, it hasn't been long since then, and people have become so spoiled that they dare to give him a cold shoulder.

Qi Junyi sighed deeply, rubbed the little head in his arms, and said, "Good girl, tell me honestly, am I not good enough to you?"

"Okay," Jiang Lingyue rested her chin on his chest and said with her face tilted upwards, "Your Majesty treats me the best in the harem."

"Well, I'm so kind, shouldn't Yueyue try to repay me?"

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, what can a concubine of yours do..."

"You don't need to do anything, just make me angry twice."

Before she could finish her words, Jiang Lingyue was interrupted and felt wronged. "When have I ever dared to offend Your Majesty?"

"It's even more infuriating if you didn't do it on purpose," Qi Junyi said, half-smiled, "If you really did it on purpose, I would be happier."

For example, if she sent him a woman that day on purpose, it at least meant that she knew the significance of doing so, and he could still barely comfort himself that she did not completely indifferent.

If she didn't do it on purpose, but thought it was natural for her to recommend concubines to sleep with him, then she wouldn't care at all if he slept with other women and wouldn't have any extra emotions.

He couldn't help but be angry.

For example, tonight, she repeatedly made eye contact with Chen Ziwei. If she did it on purpose, he might even think that she was trying to provoke him.

It shows that she is not completely indifferent to him.

But the result?

The happy mood that had just been filled with satisfaction was once again shrouded in a layer of haze, and the smile on Qi Junyi's lips gradually faded.

Her words, "Hold me..." kept circling in my mind, and my jaw suddenly tightened, and my heart was filled with sadness.

If Jiang Lingyue knew what he was thinking, she would probably call him a liar.

I agreed not to care about what happened before entering the palace, and I coaxed her into telling the truth, but in the end she was so upset about it.

But she couldn't read minds, she couldn't hear.

She could only hear the man in front of her suddenly change the subject.

"Huayang seems to be interested in Chen Ziwei... What do you think... should I arrange a marriage for them?"

There was a hint of hesitation in his words, as if he was really asking for her opinion.

Jiang Lingyue's eyebrows twitched and her pupils widened suddenly, she couldn't believe it.

Huayang is his sister from the same mother. Even though he has a cold personality, as the crown prince, he has a different relationship with his younger brothers and sisters as a monarch and his subjects. He has not had a pure life since childhood, but she is still his biological sister.

The marriage in the previous life turned Huayang from a noble and proud little princess into a resentful woman. He knew the consequences clearly and knew that even if Chen Zilu was forced to marry her under the imperial decree, he would not be able to show affection and affection to the princess.

Neither of them had an easy time in that marriage.

Doing it all over again, you're still planning an arranged marriage?

...No, no, no, this might be a test.

Test whether she still has feelings for Chen Ziwei.

Jiang Lingyue calmed down instantly, "This matter is of great importance. I dare not offer any advice. Your Majesty, please make the decision yourself."

"This isn't a big deal. I just want to hear your opinion." Knowing that she was avoiding Chen Ziwei, Qi Junyi said calmly, "You don't need to be shy. Feel free to speak up."

Jiang Lingyue was silent for a moment, thinking of the couple in her previous life who had grown tired of each other. Finally, she couldn't help but say, "In my opinion, this matter concerns the princess's life. We should be cautious and not make hasty decisions."

"Oh?" Qi Junyi laughed and said, "Yueyue thinks it's inappropriate to arrange a marriage for them?"

"That's not the case!" Jiang Lingyue felt that this smile made her scalp tingle.

Her heart sank, and she wanted to back out, but the words were already out. After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "... Marriage is a serious matter, and it should be based on mutual consent. Otherwise, it would create a pair of resentful couples, which is really not beautiful."

Princess Huayang was a descendant of a royal family. She grew up in a honey pot and had never lacked money or power. She was born without the ability to understand the word "grievance".

Chen Ziwei was no less impressive. He was the eldest son of the Chen family, who was highly regarded by the emperor. Although he came from an aristocratic family, he was still highly valued by the emperor. At the age of twenty, he was already a third-rank official, and his future was limitless.

Such a person has a straight spine and strong bones. Even a princess cannot make him bow.

If they are in love with each other, even if there are frictions, everyone is willing to give in to their loved one, so they are certainly a perfect match.

But if not, it would be a tit-for-tat confrontation, with neither side willing to give in to the other...

Jiang Lingyue thought that what she said was very reasonable.

But the expression of the man in front of her gradually faded as she spoke.

She immediately stopped talking and stammered, "But what's wrong with what I said?"

"Of course it's inappropriate," Qi Junyi looked at her and said, "After saying so much, you just can't bear to let go, right?"

The voice was really sour, but Jiang Lingyue couldn't hear it at all. She only heard that he was repeatedly hinting at something, and she glared at him and denied it, "No!"

"Your Majesty asked for my opinion, and I told you what I thought, but you were dissatisfied," she said, feeling somewhat annoyed. "In that case, why do you bother to embarrass me?"

"I have confessed everything about my relationship with Chen Ziwei. Apart from that, there is truly no other affection. If Your Majesty does not believe me, I can only prove my innocence by dying."

"That's enough!" Qi Junyi held her neck and pressed her into his arms, not allowing her to continue.

But what I was thinking in my heart was, 'In the end, marriage is better when both parties are willing.'

Has she ever thought about what mutual consent means?

She and Chen Ziwei were willing to be together back then.

According to her, what are they now?

A pair of resentful couple created by the Shen family?
