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

After many days, this man once again mentioned the name that had caused them such awkwardness these days. Jiang Lingyue's face changed, worried that he was going to bring up the past again, and blurted out, "How can this be the same!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the empty hall suddenly became quiet.

The last rays of the setting sun shone through the window lattice, bathing half of the Emperor's face in it, coated with a layer of golden light. His handsome face appeared much softer under the cover of the setting sun.

It should have been a very beautiful scene, but there was no warmth around him.

As soon as Jiang Lingyue said this, she knew she had probably said something wrong again.

After being reborn and spending the past few months together, although she didn't understand what the emperor wanted to do after such a big change in his life, she could more or less sense some of his joys and sorrows.

——He was very concerned about her relationship with Chen Ziwei before she entered the palace, and it even became a thorn in his throat.

Although he never stopped loving her, it was indeed a thorn in his heart.

But things have already happened, and even if the emperor cares so much, Jiang Lingyue is powerless to change anything.

She could only try her best to avoid mentioning Chen Ziwei's name, so as to make the matter fade away as soon as possible and not have too much impact on her future in the harem.

But every time it was the emperor himself who was mentioned.

It is obviously him who is the one I care about the most, and he is the one I mention frequently.

For example, now, she just proposed to raise Concubine Zhao's child. If he is unwilling, then so be it, but he has to compare him with Chen Ziwei.

How can it be compared with one's own subjects?

Jiang Lingyue was troubled by this.

On the other side, Qi Junyi lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while before continuing to fiddle with the tea set in his hand.

Placing a delicate and small white porcelain jade cup in front of her, he held the teapot and slowly filled it up. The corners of his lips curved up, he raised his eyelids and looked at her, smiling and asking, "What's the difference?"

What's the difference?

It was because she and Chen Ziwei were in love with each other, but not with him.

Or was it because entering the palace was just her last resort, and if she had a choice, she would never take the initiative to walk to his side?

Therefore, he cannot be compared with Chen Ziwei.

His gaze was so intense that it made people feel overwhelmed.

Jiang Lingyue moved her lips but couldn't utter a word.

What can she say?

She said that Chen Ziwei was a clean man, never surrounded by any beautiful women, and he even promised her that this was the case before he met her, and that he would not have concubines or maids in the future, so she didn't need to worry about such an issue at all.

Or if she married Chen Ziwei, she would be his legal wife, but now she is just his concubine. How can the two be the same?

There is a difference between the emperor and his subjects. She cannot say any of these words. Saying them would be disrespectful.

Qi Junyi waited for a while, and when he saw that she ignored him, the smile on his face gradually faded. He stared at her for a long time, and suddenly said, "Yueyue, you probably don't understand. My personality isn't very good."

...Just leaving all my good temper to you.

He swallowed the last sentence, but Jiang Lingyue somehow understood it.

Indeed, he had always been gentle, kind and patient in front of her.

He rarely frowned and scolded her, and he never treated her with a cold and distant attitude.

So, he's warning her now?

She just wanted the child in Concubine Zhao's belly, but this touched his sore spot?

...She is indeed stupid. She has died once, but she starts to think highly of herself again.

Once again, I was bewildered by his effortless pampering and felt that he had some affection for me.

ridiculous!

She actually thought that such a moody man had feelings for her.

Jiang Lingyue's hand was placed on the tea table. Her fingers were slender, white and smooth. Her slightly bent knuckles trembled because of her excessive excitement. Qi Junyi glanced at her and reached out to cover her hand, but before he could touch her, she subconsciously avoided it.

Ignoring the increasingly tense atmosphere, Jiang Lingyue said calmly, "If Your Majesty is unwilling to let me raise Concubine Zhao's child, I will never mention it again. Please don't be angry."

She is angry.

Qi Junyi saw it clearly at a glance.

She was angry because he didn't do what she wanted.

She really wanted to raise Concubine Zhao's child, and she didn't mind at all even though she thought the child was born to him and another woman.

Don't mind him having other women, don't mind him having children with other women.

It's really tolerant and generous.

Qi Junyi knew very well that the premise of tolerance and magnanimity was not caring.

If you care, you should be like him. When he knew that she and Chen Ziyu had been in a relationship for two years, he was furious, annoyed, and bitter for two lifetimes.

I've been calculating for two lifetimes.

Even now, I still can't let it go.

In his previous life, he knew clearly that he was the only one among them who was addicted to it.

A familiar pain spread across his chest. Qi Junyi took a deep breath and tried to calm his surging emotions.

His mind didn't want him to argue with the girl across from him.

There was no affection between them, and it couldn't withstand the test.

He didn't want to give the girl any reason to distance herself from him.

If you don't care, then don't care. It's a fact that we've known for a long time anyway...

Life is long and will last forever, and he will always be able to squeeze into her heart.

Thinking of this, Qi Junyi moved his lips, "I really can't agree to your request on this matter."

His voice was dry, and he tried to soften his tone, "If you like children, we can have them ourselves. It's up to you how many you want..."

"His Majesty!"

The repeated mention of "giving birth to one's own child" only sounded like a bone-chilling mockery to Jiang Lingyue. The anger and embarrassment that had been suppressed for two lifetimes came flooding back from the depths of her heart, finally bursting out.

She could no longer bear it and stood up abruptly, saying, "If Your Majesty wants to make fun of me, just say so. I will obey you. Why treat me like a fool?"

Due to the environment she grew up in, Jiang Lingyue has never been one to submit to others' wishes. Moreover, with the Emperor's indulgence, she no longer has any respect for him.

Burning with rage, she actually took advantage of her height to look down at him and sneered, "I am also a human being, not a puppet to be manipulated by your Majesty's joys and sorrows. If I get angry, I will rebel!"

“…” Qi Junyi was stunned.

In his two lifetimes, this was the first time someone dared to challenge him in this way.

He frowned and said, "Have I ever taken you for a fool?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his arms to pull her into his arms, but Jiang Lingyue took a big step back to avoid him.

The evasive look made Qi Junyi's hands freeze in the air, and he looked over with pursed lips.

Jiang Lingyue remained unafraid and looked him in the eye.

"So Your Majesty has never regarded me as a fool?"

Her expression was icy, revealing a touch of poignant beauty. She raised her wrist, pointed directly at the incense burner, and said, "Your Majesty, please don't tell me that you don't even know about this musk cut."
