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

"It's enough. I'm the only one in this huge palace, so how could it be insufficient?" Jiang Lingyue said with a smile. "As for whether it's satisfactory or not, I don't know yet."

Qi Junyi was stunned, and a few ripples appeared in his calm eyes.

She answered honestly and didn't act awkwardly with him.

It seems that she listened to everything Bai Ri said.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared in his eyes. He held her wrist and said, "It's windy tonight. Let's go in."

The wrist under his palm was slender and so thin that it seemed as if he could break it without much force.

In an instant, many broken pictures flashed before his eyes, and under the night sky, Qi Junyi's expression changed.

He paused and said calmly to Jinshu and Jinyu, who were serving on either side, "Take good care of your master. It's spring and cold, so you need a cloak when you go out at night. Don't let her get sick."

His tone was actually quite gentle, but he was so majestic that the two little girls who had just entered the palace had never encountered such a scene before. They knelt down hurriedly and responded in panic.

Seeing Jinyu's lips trembling with fear, Jiang Lingyue couldn't bear it, so she took the initiative to pull the sleeve of the person next to her and said softly, "I know I was wrong. Your Majesty, please let them get up."

Qi Junyi glanced at her and said, "I know I was wrong. Be careful with your body from now on. I don't like weak women."

After saying this, he waved his hand to let the palace maids kneeling on the ground stand up, then turned and walked into the inner hall.

After hearing his words, Jiang Lingyue stood there, full of confusion.

How was she weak when she first entered the palace?

She hasn't had a miscarriage yet, nor has she been poisoned to the point where she has to gasp for breath after taking even a few steps.

Liu Rong was guarding the door. Seeing that his master was still standing there, he whispered, "Empress Wanyi, please go in quickly. His Majesty is waiting."

As he spoke, he glanced at Jinshu and Jinyu who were following closely behind him.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart that these two girls were not smart enough and needed to be disciplined.

Although Qi Junyi always looked calm and composed, making it difficult to guess his emotions, Liu Rong, as his close attendant, had served him for many years and was able to discern some of his master's intentions.

This Chen Wanyi has probably caught the eye of their Majesty.

He didn't dare to say what his future would be like, but right now he was definitely the number one person in the palace.

The palace maids and eunuchs stayed outside, and Jiang Lingyue walked in alone.

Qi Junyi, who was looking around the hall, glanced at the girl who came in and asked, "Do you like it here?"

The hall was brightly lit, and Jiang Lingyue only needed to raise her eyes to see how gentle the man's gaze was in front of her, but she didn't.

She lowered her eyes and said submissively, "As long as it's given by Your Majesty, I like it."

Qi Junyi laughed, held her wrist, and sat down on the couch by the window. He said, "It's still a little empty. I'll have someone send over some ornaments tomorrow. Is there anything you want?"

He seemed to enjoy asking her what she thought.

Of course she wanted it.

There are many priceless treasures in the emperor's private treasury, most of which were presented by officials from all over the country and vassal states.

After she had a miscarriage in her previous life, he was almost obedient to her, and she could take and enjoy those rare treasures that no one else could see.

There are also those rare books and ancient paintings by famous people, all placed in the house to edify her, which can also cultivate some talents in her, a daughter of a military commander.

And now...

The superior was in a good mood and was planning to reward her with something, so she certainly couldn't refuse without knowing what was good for her and spoil his fun, but she couldn't actually ask for the thing either, lest she become annoying.

Jiang Lingyue pondered for a few breaths, then raised her eyebrows slightly and whispered, "I am already very satisfied with your majesty's kindness. I really can't think of anything I need at the moment. Why don't you just look at me and reward me?"

She made this reply after carefully considering his current thoughts and believed that she would not be wrong.

Unexpectedly, the people around him did not move for a long time after hearing this.

There were only the two of them in the hall. Such silence made Jiang Lingyue a little nervous, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.

As soon as she moved her neck, a hand grasped her jaw. The handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes, and she held her breath at that moment.

Qi Junyi, who had seen her panic, felt somewhat helpless and loosened his grip on her chin. "It's been several days, why are you still so timid? Am I really that scary?"

"...No...no." Jiang Lingyue's eyelashes trembled slightly and her voice stuttered, as if she was about to cry in front of him in the next second.

Qi Junyi felt increasingly helpless, and after thinking about it, he simply let go of her chin, held her waist instead, and held her on his lap to sit.

"I don't remember ever being mean to you, so why are you so scared, huh?"

Under the flickering candlelight, the usually aloof emperor coaxed the girl in his arms in a soft voice.

"From now on, be as comfortable as possible around me. I promise you, even if you climb up the roof and pick tiles, I won't punish you." His voice became gentler as he spoke. "Just ask for what you want. I don't like you being so cautious, understand?"

Jiang Lingyue grabbed his sleeve and was extremely shocked by his helpless and coaxing attitude.

Even when she was the most favored in her previous life, he never coaxed her like his own daughter.

But at that time, she was no longer cautious around him.

What on earth had changed that caused this person to...

She was so frightened that she didn't even bother to answer until she felt a hot breath spray on her ear and her earlobe was kissed lightly by the person in front of her. Only then did she come to her senses and her back gradually stiffened.

Noticing her tenseness, he reached out to stroke her back and said softly, "It's time to go to bed..."

"...Your concubine," Jiang Lingyue put her hand on his chest, her voice hoarse, "Your concubine has not yet bathed..."

Qi Junyi stopped and looked at her, and saw that her makeup and hair were indeed neat, and even her clothes were the same as she wore during the day.

She loves cleanliness by nature...

The force on his waist loosened, and Qi Junyi said, "Go."

Jiang Lingyue felt as if she had been pardoned, but she did not dare show it. She stood up from him, bowed respectfully, and then loudly ordered Jinshu to prepare water.

She hid her nervousness very well, but Qi Junyi was so perceptive.

He was made crown prince at the age of ten, and from then on he spent day after day learning how to be a king and control his ministers.

In his past and present lives combined, he had been the emperor for half his life. Even the little tricks of those old foxes in the court who had been up and down in the officialdom all their lives could not be hidden from his eyes, let alone such a superficial cover-up as hers.

But he really didn't expect that a little girl of this age could be so timid, and he felt even more helpless.

He half leaned on the soft couch, tapping the small table with his fingers, his eyes following her without blinking.

Jiang Lingyue braved the scorching gazes behind her and slowly walked into the bathroom next to her. She took a long time to wash, and when she came out, the person sitting on the chair was gone.

Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, she turned around and saw a man half-lying on the couch, holding a scroll in his hand.
