"I remember there was a pair of crystal clear, colorful vases inside. They were really beautiful!!"

As Xu Jinyi spoke, her eyes lit up slightly, the corners of her lips turned up, and she looked energetic and dazzling.

It looks arrogant and domineering, but it is very pleasing.

The emperor looked at the little face and couldn't refuse, so he nodded.

Then he remembered that he had given the two vases to Jiang Yan as a reward, and his expression became a little awkward.

"Of course I will give you the tribute items that my beloved concubine likes, but I have already given away many of them to others. This...?"

The most important thing is that the emperor was reluctant to part with the things in his warehouse.

The tributes from the vassal states were all good things, and each one was unique.

The Xu family has already taken control of the military power, and the emperor will not allow the Xu family to become even richer.

Therefore, the things that the emperor had rewarded Xu Jinyi with in the past were all worthless.

Or cloth, shoes and so on.

She couldn't see it clearly before, but now she thinks back on it, she was really stupid. The luxurious furnishings in the palace and her monthly expenses were all paid for by the money sent by her parents.

Thinking about it, she was really stupid to use her mother's money to support this bastard.

Now she had to make him vomit twice as much.

In the past, Xu Jinyi would have retreated without hesitation as soon as he saw the emperor's embarrassed expression.

But today is different from the past. The more I loved before, the more I hate now.

Xu Jinyi said directly: "What does it matter? If you give it to someone, just take it back. It will let everyone know that no one in the harem can get past me."

"I am the only one who can choose the good things first. They are only worthy of what I don't like."

The emperor's mouth twitched and he was speechless for a moment.

Xu Jinyi looked over suspiciously: "Your Majesty, are you lying about loving me the most? Can't you even fulfill a small request?"

"How could that be? I will send someone to retrieve the gift right away, and have someone deliver it to you later."

How could Xu Jinyi not know what this stingy dog emperor was thinking? Now he still needed the help of their Xu family.

Knowing that he would agree to any request she made, she simply suggested that she go with him to the warehouse to pick out what she liked.

When the dog emperor's private vault was opened, Xu Jinyi was surprised.

Well, it turns out that this bastard has hidden so many good things for himself, and every time he rewards himself with something, he is actually giving it to beggars.

Xu Jinyi was not polite: "Wow, this pile is all tribute from the vassal states, they are really good things, thank you, Your Majesty, I will not be polite."

As he said this, he waved his hand and asked the people she brought with her to start moving, not giving the dog emperor any chance to refuse.

"Hey, this set of gilded jewelry is so beautiful. I will look very beautiful wearing it, Your Majesty, don't you think?"

The emperor looked at the objects being carried away and almost couldn't breathe. His expression of pain was as if his flesh was being cut.

Seeing Xu Jinyi's eyes fixed on the set of jewelry made with a huge sum of money, and her smiling face, the emperor was speechless.

That was the birthday gift he prepared for Jiang Yan, intended to please his lover.

The emperor felt a little dizzy and called Xu Jinyi a bandit in his heart. This was even more excessive than bandits entering the village.

But he couldn't have any opinions.

"My Lady, it's getting late. We should go back for dinner."

Seeing the dog emperor's painful expression, Xu Jinyi felt relieved. Finally, he took away the dagger inlaid with rubies and left with satisfaction.

When we returned to the palace, dinner was already served.

Looking at the table full of light dishes, Xu Jinyi's expression changed.

She loved spicy food and loved meat even more, but because of the emperor's words, he said he liked bony food, so she gave up all of these.

Most of the dishes served in this hall every day are vegetarian, and only when the Dog Emperor eats here will a few more meat dishes be served.

He starved himself to death.

Xu Jinyi didn't care how painful it was for the emperor to look at the items that had just been brought back into the palace, and sat down and started eating.

The emperor was not dissatisfied. After all, he was spoiling Xu Jinyi on purpose, just to make her even more arrogant. Then when the time came to punish her, no one would say anything.

He sat down angrily, looking at the delicious food on the table and thinking of his lover who was beaten all over.

Suddenly I couldn't eat anymore. I didn't know if Jiang Yan had woken up or had eaten. Did the wound hurt?

Xu Jinyi ate casually, not slowly, but still elegantly.

There is nothing wrong with it, and it is actually very pleasing to the eye.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to eat?"

The beautiful eyes had already looked over, and the emperor nodded in a daze: "Eat."

"Then eat more." Xu Jinyi smiled and picked up two pieces of green vegetables for the emperor.

The emperor was very pleased with her charming appearance. He simply put Jiang Yan behind his head and happily ate the dishes picked by Xu Jinyi.

Looking at the dog emperor eating the vegetables she picked up bite by bite, Xu Jinyi lowered her eyes and sneered.

In Changqiu Palace, Jiang Yan slowly woke up with a frown on her face, the pain in her body making her face twisted.

"Jingqiu, where is His Majesty?"

Jingqiu poured a glass of water and came back, hesitatingly saying, "My lady, His Majesty is not here."

Jiang Yan almost dropped her cup, her face filled with shock. "What did you say? His Majesty didn't come? His Majesty hasn't come since I was injured?"

Jingqiu nodded.

"Have you inquired? Where did His Majesty go?" Jiang Yan couldn't believe what he heard.

She was injured so badly, yet His Majesty didn't come to visit her?

Jingqiu paused and said, "My lady, not only did His Majesty not come, he also sent a eunuch to take away the two vases and a Ruyi ornament that were sent earlier."

"I also heard that the Emperor gave all these things to the Imperial Concubine, and personally took her to the storehouse to pick out a bunch of rare items."

"My lady, do you think His Majesty was captivated by the Imperial Concubine's makeup today? Will he stay overnight at the Imperial Concubine's place?"

Jiang Yan's face turned ugly, and he remembered Xu Jinyi's stunning face today.

Her breathing quickened, and she shook her head, "No, His Majesty would never do that to me. He said he doesn't like arrogant women like the Imperial Concubine."

"He only dotes on her to show off to the Xu family. Once he's done with the Regent, he'll make me the queen and get rid of the imperial concubine."

In the entire Changqiu Palace, only Jingqiu knew the emperor's deep affection for Jiang Yan and what happened between them.

So Jingqiu was also confused: "My lady, if it were in the past, the emperor would have come here long ago. Is he really bewitched by the imperial concubine?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yan's tears fell down.

Thinking of the imperial concubine's beautiful face that outshone all the others, Jiang Yan panicked. For the first time, her faith in the love she had always believed in was shaken.
