"Looking in the mirror, Your Majesty can't see?" Shen Wangshu had no affection for Emperor Hui. She stroked her delicate sideburns, actually quite satisfied with her face.

She has always had a fondness for beautiful women.

"Looking in the mirror?!" Emperor Hui was furious at this matter-of-fact attitude. He immediately stood up, glaring at Shen Wangshu, who seemed completely indifferent to him, and roared, "I'm right in front of you, and you're still looking in the mirror?!"

He was so angry that he trembled all over and reached out to snatch the silver mirror and smash the annoying mirror!

For some reason, a strange, inexplicable pain welled up in his heart.

It seems that something very important to me was lost not long ago.

This feeling was fleeting, and he subconsciously ignored it. Seeing Shen Wangshu looking at him with her dark, bright eyes, he was about to erupt in anger when he heard the most beautiful concubine in the world, twirling an exquisite eight-treasure bracelet on her wrist, say with a hint of strangeness, "His Majesty once said that when he was angry, out of love for me, he didn't want me to suffer from anger along with him. His words of comfort are still fresh in my mind. Now I'm merely following His Majesty's instructions, yet he's become angry. Could it be…?"

She paused for a moment, then asked thoughtfully, "Is His Majesty deceiving me?"

Emperor Hui was speechless.

Every time he summoned the Regent to the Consort's palace, as long as he showed anger, the Consort would be even angrier than him, scolding the Regent and reprimanding him in every way when he entered the palace.

He was naturally willing for the Consort to take the lead and avenge him, but he always advised her to let things go. This show of weakness only made the Consort feel more sorry for him and resent the Regent.

She would clash even more with the Regent over his humiliated dignity.

But when did she actually start listening to me?

"Of course, your health is the most important thing." Emperor Hui stiffly withdrew his hand, and seeing the Consort looking in the mirror with satisfaction, he felt that the most annoying thing in the world was the mirror.

If it weren't for the fact that he now needed to use the Imperial Concubine as a target to prove his lifelong devotion, he would have definitely imprisoned her in the Cold Palace! But for his own grand plan, and because no one except the Imperial Concubine dared to oppose the Regent and attract his attention, Emperor Hui remained silent for a moment with a twisted expression, then quietly sat back down in his seat, and this time he didn't speak for a long time.

He was so frustrated that his liver was aching.

"His Majesty cherishes me, so naturally he wouldn't lose his temper in front of me and embarrass me," Shen Wangshu said without turning her head, looking at the woman's narrowed eyes in the mirror.

At the palace gate, the eunuch seemed to have woken up, and knowing that Emperor Hui was there, he let out a scream.

"How could I bear to get angry with you?" Emperor Hui's heart skipped a beat. He disregarded the life and death of his trusted confidant and forced a dry laugh.

He then realized that in his anger, he had even forgotten that the Imperial Concubine was the woman he was supposed to "favor." For a woman he loved to the core, he would naturally shower her with favor and dote on her in every way. How could he bear to lose his temper?

He was reminded by Shen Wangshu, and he quickly suppressed his displeasure, revealing a tender and affectionate face. He reached out to hold the Consort's hand, but she seemed to raise her hand casually, and a fragrant breeze wafted by, causing his hand to miss its mark. He could only say softly, "Don't worry, although I am the Regent... I will protect you."

"Then I'll have to trouble Your Majesty." Seeing Emperor Hui's surprised expression, Shen Wangshu rested her chin on her hand and said rather listlessly, "I've heard that Burma has presented a very rare jade statue as tribute, priceless and a priceless treasure. I like it very much. Surely Your Majesty wouldn't be reluctant to part with such a small tribute?"

Since she is a favored concubine, the best things in the world should naturally be given to her.

"That statue? Consort He said she also likes it..." Emperor Hui had only said this much when he saw the Imperial Consort's bright and beautiful eyes sweep over him, seemingly showing a look of wariness. He quickly swallowed his words and forced a smile, "Who is she on the memorial tablet? How dare she compete with you?! I've made the decision! That statue will be sent to your palace later, okay?"

He gazed at the imperial concubine before him, who slowly revealed a stunning smile, as if his entire being was focused on her. In his heart, none of the other concubines in the palace were as important as her, the one who captured his heart and soul.

Shen Wangshu naturally wanted to laugh.

Consort He... Emperor Hui's true love.

The beloved item that had been promised to her was unexpectedly given to Consort He by Emperor Hui. I wonder how Consort He felt when she found out.

Watching the man you love shower another woman with affection and bestow endless glory upon her, even if you know it's all an act, must be hard to bear, right?

Then keep it to yourself!
