Chapter 77 Jealousy

There were many exquisite and fresh fruit snacks on the rosewood table by the window, one of which was a plate of washed Donglai cherries, each one crystal clear and plump.

Yang Manyan's eyes accidentally swept across the plate of cherries. He was stunned and felt a sour feeling in his heart.

So, half a month ago when they were playing chess in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was feeding her cherries affectionately, and at the same time he specially ordered someone to send cherries to Miss Su in Nanyuan?

Perhaps her life had been too smooth in the past six months, and she almost forgot that most men in the world are unfaithful and heartless.

Yes, she herself couldn't even be faithful to him, so how could she expect the richest man in the world to be loyal to her?

When he coaxed her to bed, he swore that she would be the only woman in his life, but she actually knew nothing about what was going on behind the scenes...

Yang Manyan didn't know what he was upset about, but he couldn't stop feeling aggrieved, and his eyes were suddenly filled with tears.

When I think of the emperor touching someone else's hand...

It had nothing to do with jealousy; she really felt disgusted, almost vomiting.

She didn't know where she got the courage from, but she said angrily: "Your Majesty, please return to Danning Palace. I suddenly feel unwell and it is inconvenient for me to entertain you."

The emperor did not expect to be ordered to expel him. His face changed slightly and his thin lips were pursed like a sharp knife.

"When did I need your hospitality?" His tone was flat, as if he was chatting casually, but the strength in his bones emanated, and his aura was intimidating.

Yang Manyan huddled in Xiao Yan's arms, her eyelashes trembling slightly and tears falling out.

"In this case, Your Majesty should not stay here. It is better to return to Danning Palace to continue meeting with Miss Su..."

Her tears were like drops of boiling oil, splashing into the hearts of the two men, causing them sudden pain.

In an instant, Xiao Yan realized why she was crying, and an indescribable chill arose in his heart.

The bones of his thumb, which was wrapped around her waist, turned blue, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

The emperor paused and then reacted.

His Adam's apple rolled, and he asked in a low voice: "Is Yuan'er jealous?"

Yang Manyan's face turned slightly red, and she quickly buried her face in Xiao Yan's chest.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. How dare I be jealous of you? It's just that I like to be clean. If the emperor has someone else, please don't touch me anymore..."

The emperor became more and more convinced that she was jealous of him, and his ink-black eyes instantly revealed a clear and joyful smile.

If she didn't care about him, how could she want to monopolize him?

He stepped forward, held her arm, and with a little force he pulled her from Xiao Yan's arms.

"You're so jealous that you don't even listen to my explanation?" He held Yang Manyan's round cheeks with both hands and gently wiped her tears with his thumbs.

Yang Manyan was both embarrassed and annoyed, "I've already said that I'm not jealous, it's just that I like cleanliness..."

The emperor said word by word: "I like cleanliness as much as you do. I have never had anyone else besides you, not before, and not in the future."

"If there is even a trace of falsehood in these words, heaven and earth will punish me and make me die young."

Not only was Yang Manyan stunned, but even Xiao Yan was slightly startled.

Yang Manyan's heart was beating like a drum. "Your Majesty, there is no need to swear like this. I am terrified, but I do not want to share a husband with another woman."

She spoke softly and quietly, feeling a little shaky inside.

She doesn't want to share a husband with others, but she herself is really...

"I said, I will only have you forever." The emperor interrupted her firmly.

He did not forget to add: "As for Zi'an, I dare not guarantee it."

Xiao Yan twitched his lips. His father was really good at finding opportunities to alienate the relationship between them, and this was not the first or second time.

Before he could refute, Yang Manyun asked cautiously, "So, what happened to Miss Su just now?"

The emperor patiently explained: "Su Qinglan is Zi'an's biological sister, my niece."

The things that the palace inner court sent to Nanyuan to present to Su Qinglan all year round were also according to the princess's share.

Yang Manyan was stunned.

She only knew that the late Emperor Yongshun had two sons, the Crown Prince and the Prince of Han, and had never heard of a princess.

No wonder she felt that Miss Su was somewhat similar to Concubine Wei Shufei just now. Maybe Concubine Wei Shufei was the posthumous daughter born to the late emperor?

After all, when the late emperor passed away, the crown prince was only one year old. It was impossible for Concubine Wei to get pregnant with a second child right after she came out of confinement, right?

It was already lunchtime, and Xiao Yan was worried that Yang Manyan was hungry, so he picked up a small piece of yam cake and handed it to her lips.

Yang Manyan subconsciously opened his mouth and bit it.

When her soft and warm lips touched his fingertips, Xiao Yan's eyes darkened slightly and he continued to feed her snacks.

The emperor felt a pang of pain in his teeth as he held the girl in his arms even tighter with his two strong and sturdy arms.

Yang Manyan couldn't help but ask the question in his mind: "Since Miss Su is the emperor's daughter, why did she become the daughter of the governor of Nanyuan?"

Xiao Yan said: "This is a long story. I only know that it was the will of the Emperor to raise her in the Su family of Nanyuan, but I don't know the reason."

Yang Manyan looked up at the emperor again, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling with light, as if she was expecting to get an answer from him.

The emperor did know a little more than Xiao Yan, but only a little more.

He suddenly lowered his head and kissed her delicate forehead with great familiarity.

"As far as I know, Empress Xu's personality changed drastically after she gave birth to a daughter. She was almost insane. The princess almost died in her hands several times. The late emperor lied that the princess was dead and sent her to Nanyuan to be raised by the Su family."

But the emperor still cannot understand what his brother did when he was alive.

In his opinion, Queen Xu was crazy, so all he needed to do was keep the princess away from her. There was no need to go to such great lengths to stage such a scene.

Yang Manyan's eyes widened when he heard this, his face full of disbelief, "Miss Su is the daughter of the Empress of Renshou Palace?"

Seeing that both men agreed, she became even more surprised.

Su Qinglan clearly has some similarities with Concubine Wei Shufei.
