"I heard that the emperor was spending a lot of time with my sister last night and today. I was worried that the emperor was tired, so I specially stewed a bowl of nourishing black chicken soup for you. Alas, my sister is now favored by the emperor and doesn't even take me, her elder sister, seriously. I feel a little disappointed." Leng Qingyi looked at Yan Ruju and then at Zhong Liyuan after hearing Yan Ruju's joking words with a sarcastic tone.

Tsk tsk, this girl of luck is really magnanimous. After entering the palace, is she still hoping that the emperor will favor her alone?

It is indeed the temperament of a girl of destiny. She will not accept anyone who is not her lifelong partner.

At this time, Zhongli Yuan on the side also reacted. He was no longer the king of Dongxia. He was now Concubine Yi and had to pay his respects to the imperial concubine.

"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine, it is my fault."

Leng Qingyi could hardly hold back his laughter when he saw Zhongli Yuan saluting awkwardly.

"What are you talking about, sister? Get up quickly." Yan Ruju said this, but she was secretly competing in her heart.

The more Zhongli Yuan looked at his concubine standing next to him, the more he felt it was irritating.

"Sister, I have something to say to the Emperor. I wonder if you could help me."

Zhongli Yuan naturally didn't want to leave. Even if he hadn't touched her, she was still his concubine. He was really worried about letting his woman be alone with this playboy.

But now Leng Qingyi is the emperor, and in the eyes of the imperial concubine, Leng Qingyi is her husband.

Naturally, she didn't want other women to be present when she was having a private conversation with her husband, not to mention that the Duke of Zhenguo and the Prime Minister had always been at odds.

Leng Qingyi looked at Zhongli Yuan with a teasing look.

"Your Majesty, I will wait outside the palace until you have finished discussing this with the Imperial Concubine. Then I can be summoned to see you, okay?"

"can."

Zhongli Yuan looked at Leng Qingyi worriedly again, fearing that he would do something out of line.

In Yan Ruju's eyes, this look showed that the two were extremely loving and reluctant to separate, making her look like the evil person who was breaking up the couple.

She is obviously the imperial concubine, and the emperor should favor her more.

Why does this stupid idiot with a bad brain have the right?

Others may not know, but she knows that Leng Qingyi has not been very smart since she was a child. She originally thought that she would be a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth if she entered the harem. She did not expect that the prime minister would place so many confidants around his silly daughter, and now this idiot is in favor.

How could she, who had always been strong-willed, bear this?

Leng Qingyi silently watched the changes on Yan Ruju's face. With her experience, she could easily tell what the other person was thinking.

She only started asking questions after Zhongli Yuan, who was very wary of her, had completely left.

"What is it that my beloved concubine has come to see me about? I cannot even let Concubine Yi hear it."

"Your Majesty, please don't tease me. It's not that I don't want Concubine Yi to hear this, but I'm worried that she'll be sad after hearing it."

"Oh? Tell me."

The emperor spoke a lot today and seemed to be in a very good mood.

This made Yan Ruju feel mixed emotions. In the past, the emperor was indifferent and distant to her, but today he was so friendly to her, probably because he was in a good mood because he was getting along well with that stupid woman, Concubine Yi.

"Your Majesty, yesterday you mentioned to me that now that the throne is secure, the Prime Minister should delegate some of his power. However, today you are treating Concubine Yi so well... I have no comment on which concubine you favor. But at this critical moment, your favoritism towards Concubine Yi may make the Prime Minister even more arrogant. It would be better to wait until Your Majesty takes back some of the Prime Minister's power before summoning Concubine Yi. After all, you are the Supreme Lord, the ruler of a nation, and you should prioritize the country and its people."

"Oh? My beloved concubine, you are very familiar with the situation in the court. It would be a shame for you to enter my harem."

Although Leng Qingyi spoke in a light tone, his words still made Yan Ruju break out in a cold sweat.

Even though the current emperor has restrained himself a lot compared to when he first ascended the throne, he is still the ruler of a country. Punishing her for the crime of meddling in government affairs from the harem would only make that stupid woman more powerful. She is just too impatient.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of interfering in government affairs. It's just that I've been resentful of what Your Majesty discussed with me yesterday, and that's why I lost my composure. I will be more careful with my words and actions in the future. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me for this mistake."

Seeing Yan Ruju kneeling on the ground in fear because of a casual remark he made, he secretly sighed that the imperial power was fatal. Even though the Duke of Zhenguo had great power, his daughter still had to be cautious in front of him.

Even Zhongli Yuan is still timid. The benevolent king is not kind and the tyrant is not cruel.

"It's alright, I was just joking with you. It was only yesterday that I realized that Concubine Yi is truly a wonderful person. I really can't bear to let her go."

This sentence almost made Yan Ruju lose her mind. Why could that idiot compare to her? She thought she was not inferior to her in appearance, family background or talent. Why could she become the emperor's surprise?

Yan Ruju stared at the handsome face just inches away from her, and finally couldn't help asking a very inappropriate question: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with me that makes you still not favor me after a year in the palace?"

This sentence shocked Leng Qingyi a little. As a girl of luck, her appearance must be outstanding. Zhongli Yuan was willing to just look at such a beautiful woman in his harem. I don't know what's wrong with him.

But when Yan Ruju asked this question, she really didn't know how to answer. She didn't have Zhong Liyuan's memory, so how could she know what Zhong Liyuan was thinking.

After thinking about it, the only reason why Zhongli Yuan cannot be removed is that he likes men.

Compared to liking men in this feudal dynasty, it is better to say that you are not good enough.

"Well, my beloved concubine, sometimes I can't help myself. You know that I grew up in the cold palace when I was young, and my body is weak. Now I am not in good condition." Leng Qingyi touched her nose embarrassedly. After all, this is a matter of man's dignity. She felt a little guilty for putting this hat on Zhongli Yuan's head.

He still needs to find time to test whether he has not favored every concubine. After all, he personally felt this guy's brother once last night, and it doesn't seem to be unusable. Although the drug is at work, the size doesn't seem to be unusable. If only the imperial concubine has not been favored, it may be that he doesn't like or is afraid of the Duke of Zhenguo. If he doesn't favor anyone, then there is only one possibility. If you ask him about this kind of thing, I guess he won't tell the truth with his stubborn look. He can only test it himself.

what?

The emperor can’t do it?

This news really shocked her.

No, the emperor was lying to her. He was clearly with Concubine Yi yesterday. Could it be that he was afraid of his father's power and worried that if she got pregnant with the heir, the country would be unstable?

But the Prime Minister's power is no weaker than her father's, and he is also a big parasite to the emperor. Why can Concubine Yi do it but she can't?
