Not long after Xu Lingyi finished speaking, the emperor walked in.

"Your Majesty." Xu Lingyi stood up and saluted.

The emperor picked her up and said, "Let me see your legs."

The emperor placed her on the bed in the inner room. Xu Lingyi's skin in this life was very good, and it was easy for marks to appear. At this moment, the bruises on her knees looked particularly scary.

The emperor also frowned at this time. He personally applied medicine to Xu Lingyi and said, "Don't get out of bed for the next few days. Rest well. This medicine is quite effective. The marks will disappear in a few days."

Xu Lingyi nodded obediently: "I will obey your majesty."

"What happened today...was wrong with Minghua."

When the emperor spoke, Xu Lingyi thought to herself, it was rare that he actually felt that his precious daughter was doing something wrong.

Princess Minghua is now like this because she was spoiled by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

If you really think your daughter has done something wrong, you should discipline her instead of spoiling her.

Xu Lingyi lowered her head and remained silent. "Princess, you are speaking up for the Imperial Concubine. I understand. I have indeed been monopolizing Your Majesty for some time. It is only natural that the Imperial Concubine feels uncomfortable."

Xu Lingyi knew that she couldn't flatter Princess Minghua, as the emperor would be disgusted, but she could do so to the imperial concubine.

She thought the emperor would keep it in mind.

In the past few months since entering the palace, she has actually discovered that the imperial concubine particularly values ​​the emperor.

The emperor's face turned cold: "The imperial concubine has indeed been confused recently. She is much older than you, but she is acting more and more recklessly now. If it weren't for the princess..."

The emperor did not say anything else.

But in fact, Xu Lingyi could feel that the emperor was indeed tired of the imperial concubine. He might have favored her in the past, but now he was only annoyed with her.

"In any case, don't bother with Minghua. She's young and childish, and the Imperial Concubine is whispering in her ear. She's worried about her mother, so she's treating you like that..."

Xu Lingyi reached out and covered the emperor's mouth with her hand, with a gentle smile on her face, but she was sneering in her heart.

Princess Minghua was young, but what about her? The emperor must have forgotten that she and Princess Minghua were of the same age, and in fact, Princess Minghua was even older than her.

The emperor just refused to admit that Princess Minghua was just a bad person.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to explain. I understand everything. The princess is your majesty's treasure. I like your majesty, so I naturally like the princess too. Even if the princess did something to me today, I won't take it to heart."

The emperor lowered his head and kissed her. "It's good that you think this way. I will also talk to Minghua and ask her to control her temper. This kind of thing will not happen again. If Minghua acts recklessly again in the future, just send someone to tell me and I will go over. You won't have to suffer like you did today."

The emperor was sincere in what he said, but Xu Lingyi was skeptical.

Is this old man really willing to conflict with his precious daughter for her?

"Your Majesty, please don't. I don't want you to have a conflict with the princess because of me. As you said, the princess is not a bad person. If I suffer some grievances, it will make her happy. Then these grievances are worth it. I am not afraid of being wronged. As long as Your Majesty cares about me, I will be satisfied."

After Xu Lingyi finished speaking, she felt like a living Bodhisattva, the Great Virgin Mary.

But the emperor just fell for it.

"I'm sorry for putting you through this." The emperor hugged her.

"I always thought Minghua was young. She was my only child in all these years. Because she was my first time being a father, I still remember when she was born. Although I was disappointed that she wasn't a boy, seeing her so tiny, all those regrets vanished. I didn't even dare to hold her in my arms."

"But now, she is indeed a little domineering."

When talking about Princess Minghua, the emperor was obviously full of love.

If she hadn't gotten pregnant, she would never have been able to defeat Princess Minghua.

The emperor would only stand on his daughter's side.

"The princess is a royal daughter, her status is beyond words. With you here, the princess naturally has the capital to be willful."

————

The emperor came to Xu Lingyi as soon as he left the court. The empress dowager and Princess Minghua also received the news.

"Grandmother, that vixen has my father completely bewitched. He doesn't come to see his grandson anymore, he only goes to see that bitch."

In the past, whenever Princess Minghua entered the palace, the emperor would come to see her first.

But now, my father actually went to find that vixen first.

She actually felt a sense of crisis from a plaything that she looked down upon.

The Queen Mother patted her hand lovingly and said, "You are in the palace, how could your father not come over?"

When the emperor came, Princess Minghua still felt a little aggrieved.

"Is your Majesty here to teach your daughter a lesson for Concubine De? Your Majesty has a beautiful woman in his arms now, and I'm afraid he has already forgotten about your daughter."

The emperor was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

But Princess Minghua seemed to have made up her mind.

The Queen Mother also spoke at this time.

"That Xu looks alluring and charming, not like a woman from a respectable family."

The Queen Mother did not like Xu Lingyi, even though she knew it was Xu Lingyi who saved the Emperor.

However, the Empress Dowager believed that Xu Lingyi's exclusive favor during this period was not conducive to peace in the harem.

In the past, Your Majesty has never favored a woman so much. Even if she was favored, she would still listen to advice. Only this Xu was good at tricks.

"Mother, Xu is the daughter of the Xu family. The Xu family has been loyal and righteous for generations. If she is not good, then which other family in the capital can offer good girls?"

The emperor liked Xu Lingyi at this time, and she was perfect in his heart.

Princess Minghua felt even more unhappy: "Grandmother, I think my father has been bewitched by that vixen. She is beautiful, and my father has been bewitched by her. I think she is the reincarnation of a vixen, otherwise how could someone in this world look like that? She deliberately seduced my father in the temple..."
