His summary was so sharp that Qi Junyi couldn't help but glance down at him.

That dull look made Prince Lu's back stiffen. Thinking of Liu Rong's suggestion, he immediately said, "There must be a misunderstanding."

His cousin had handsome features and was well-mannered. Although he held a high position, he did not show his imposing manner. He was always calm and composed.

He is called an emperor, but in fact he looks more like a handsome young man from some family.

He is also a gentleman who enjoys the breeze blowing out of his sleeves and the bright moon in his arms.

In terms of power, status, character and appearance, no one can match him.

If a man like this were to be even glanced at, it would be a blessing from heaven. How could any girl not like him?

Who would ignore his feelings?

Not to mention that the other party has already entered the palace and has become his woman.

Thinking of this, Prince Lu became even more convinced of this view.

He cautiously raised his eyes towards the imperial throne and asked tentatively, "What did the Concubine do to make Your Majesty think she was ignoring your feelings?"

Hearing this, Qi Junyi's eyes flashed.

There was a long silence. Just when Prince Lu was secretly cursing himself for not knowing the seriousness of the matter and asking about the privacy of his superior, His Majesty the Emperor actually spoke.

His cold voice echoed in the hall.

Prince Lu listened quietly, and by the end, his head felt as big as a bucket, and sweat was pouring down his forehead in the cool night of early autumn.

What does it mean that before entering the palace, Concubine Chen had a lover, and they had promised to marry each other and secretly decided to spend their lives together?

What does it mean to make one's feelings clear, but the Concubine Jieyu ignored it and pretended not to know.

Is this something he can hear?

Qi Junyi slowly stood up, walked down the steps, and stood in front of Prince Lu. He said, "You have a bad reputation. I summoned you here to hear your opinion on this matter. You don't need to worry about anything else. Just tell me what you think."

After that, he said, "Stand up and talk first."

"Yes!" Prince Lu stood up as he was told, stepped aside, and said with lowered brows, "May I ask, what is the temperament of the Concubine?"

What temperament?

"She's had a very difficult childhood and endured many hardships, but she's not weak. On the contrary, she's gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, very tenacious." Qi Junyi pondered for a few breaths, then added, "Because I've spoiled her, she's become much bolder. She's capricious, naughty, and incredibly daring... and quite spoiled."

Prince Lu: “…”

I was secretly shocked. It turned out that the Concubine Jieyu who had monopolized the emperor's favor in the past few months was such a girl...

He calmed himself down and said, "It seems that although the queen is arrogant, she is not stupid."

"That's right," Qi Junyi nodded and agreed, "Yueyue is very smart."

Prince Lu: “…”

He choked slightly before saying, "Even if such a smart girl had a previous relationship before entering the palace, since she chose to participate in the selection and enter the palace, and to accompany the emperor, she must have made a decision about her past relationship and will not continue to have any ties with it."

As long as she entered the palace, it didn't matter what the reason was. After all, His Majesty didn't force her. She regarded entering the palace as a lifeline.

On the contrary, after entering the palace, His Majesty gave her the highest honor and the most attention.

Thinking about the current fate of Shen and the second daughter of the Jiang family, it is undoubtedly that His Majesty stood up for his favorite concubine.

In this case, as a concubine, what reason do you have to refuse or ignore the Emperor's wishes?

It doesn't make sense.

Prince Lu thought for a moment and said, "You just said that the Queen treated you very coldly and was trying to divide her favor. She also... hoped that you wouldn't go to Ning'an Palace?"

Qi Junyi's expression remained unchanged as he looked at him calmly, "What do you want to say?"

"..." Prince Lu was silent for a moment, his face showing hesitation, "In my humble opinion, the Concubine is not only ignoring your feelings, but also..."

Having said this, he paused as if he was considering his words.

Qi Junyi frowned and said, "Just say what you want to say."

The tone of his voice was filled with a rare hint of impatience, causing Prince Lu to bend even lower. He steeled his heart and said with all his might, "Your Majesty, please consider what you have done to cause Her Majesty to harbor resentment and become unwilling to be close to you."

It had to be an extremely huge grudge, so huge that a concubine would risk losing favor forever, ignore the emperor's wishes, and push the emperor further and further away.

Thinking of this, Prince Lu became a little curious.

Looking at His Majesty like this, it seems that he is truly sincere and has moved with all his heart, yet he is moving very cautiously, fearing that he might frighten the beauty.

When a dignified emperor is humiliated by a concubine, there are countless ways to make her learn to be gentle, obedient, and sensible.

But their Majesty would rather suffer himself and summon his ministers in the middle of the night to offer advice on his personal affairs than make things difficult for the other party.

This...how could such careful care make Concubine Jieyu feel resentful?

The Concubine Jiang he had heard of was a favored concubine as soon as she entered the palace. She rose from a small concubine to the master of a palace in a few leaps. She had never suffered any grievances.

He was extremely curious, but Qi Junyi was stiff and stood there in a daze.

Prince Lu's few words were like a sharp blade, directly piercing through the invisible barrier, making him suddenly enlightened and completely understand everything.

Many things that seemed wrong at the time but I hadn't thought about them in detail began to appear in my mind frame by frame.

In this life, they face each other day and night, and spend every night together.

In those intimate moments again and again, he kissed her passionately, was so moved that he could hardly control himself, and loved her so much that he wanted to eat her up.

But the feedback she gave was very little. She could fake the expression on her face and tell lies, but she couldn't fake her body's reaction.

She was stiff all over and had no intention of accepting him happily.

At that time, he just thought that she was new to the palace and was too shy to deal with such things. Even if she had resistance, it was because of Chen Ziwei. Because she could not forget her old feelings for Chen Ziwei, her body was unwilling to accept him.

Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that things were not like this in my previous life.

Although the memory was long ago, he was still a bit stubborn at that time and did not observe her expression carefully as he does now.

But he vaguely remembered that in his previous life, the girl was well-behaved and charming. When he held her in his arms and played with her, she always looked at him with a pair of misty almond eyes.

When she was treated harshly, a bit of grievance would appear in her eyes, which often made him soft-hearted and unwilling to bully her too much.

Many times, he just didn't feel satisfied. When he saw her eyes red with grievance, he couldn't help but kiss her beautiful eyes and the red mole that he made to look so charming.

Comfort her carefully and get the matter over with.

Really, he was reluctant to bully her from the beginning.
