Before Xuanyuan Jingye came, he dressed up specially.

Ever since he was honored by Liu Ruyue in the Goddess Palace last time, and heard with his own ears that the woman he was almost certain to marry was named queen, he had a big fight with his mother Zhou Churan when he returned to Prince Jing's Mansion.

No matter how noisy and decadent he was, on the day of the empress's coronation ceremony, as a reserve for the emperor's heir, he still forced himself to watch the ceremony. He saw with his own eyes the woman who once loved him so much and was willing to be humble and coax his mother for him, walking step by step towards another man, the man who was so high and mighty that he could not resist. Xuanyuan Jingye was greatly shocked.

However, despite the blows, it only strengthened his determination to take that position.

The day after she was crowned queen, she was busy sending letters to Yao Xinyan of Shangshu Mansion.

In the past, after receiving my letter, Yao Xinyan would arrange a time to meet me the next day at most.

However, this time, the letter sent out fell into oblivion and no response was received for a long time.

After waiting for a few days, Xuanyuan Jingye even began to suspect that Liu Ruyue had said something to Yao Xinyan.

However, Zhou Churan comforted him, "That's impossible. Liu Ruyue is now the queen. She couldn't even hide her past with you, so how could she take the initiative to tell others?"

Although she was trying to comfort Xuanyuan Jingye, Zhou Churan was also anxious in her heart. She sent her nanny to the Shangshu Mansion to inquire about it, and only then did she learn that the Shangshu Mansion was preparing to hold a lotus banquet.

The mother and son comforted each other, thinking that Yao Xinyan was busy with the banquet, which was why she did not respond to Xuanyuan Jingye.

There was a bit of self-deception in the two people's thoughts.

After all, no matter how busy you are, you will always find time to ask your servants to deliver a message.

When he arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, Xuanyuan Jingye saw Liu Ruyue who was surrounded by everyone.

Liu Ruyue is now the queen of Beigan. She appeared at the Lotus Banquet of Shangshu Mansion to give face to Shangshu Mansion. She was surrounded by wives and daughters of powerful people.

Xuanyuan Jingye asked the spy he had previously arranged in the Shangshu Mansion to make some adjustments and finally delivered a message to Liu Ruyue's ears.

Liu Ruyue was very curious about what Xuanyuan Jingye could say when they met their ex, so she took the two maids, Luo Sheng and Luo Shu, and left the group, using the excuse of going to undress.

As soon as we reached a secluded place, Xuanyuan Jingye came out:

"Yue'er, long time no see, how are you?"

As soon as they met, Xuanyuan Jingye showed an affectionate expression and said to Liu Ruyue.

Liu Ruyue hated men pretending to be affectionate the most. She sneered at the man and said, "Are you blind? Don't you see my rosy face? It's obvious that His Majesty has taken good care of me. I'm living a good life."

“…”

Even though he had witnessed Liu Ruyue's personality change before, Xuanyuan Jingye still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it again.

With a wry smile, he said with a hint of resentment and jealousy, "Yue'er, how did you become like this?

What's the point of saying nourishing? The emperor is so old, he's probably not able to do that, how can he possibly nourish you?"

As he spoke, he pretended to be affectionate: "Are you still blaming me? Blaming me for not protecting you and letting that old man, the emperor, take you by force?

I know that the emperor is an old man who cannot have children. If you marry him, your life is doomed to be ruined. I can understand that you blame me for not being able to protect you.

But, Yue'er, I am just the prince of Prince Jing's Mansion now, and have not yet been officially adopted by His Majesty. I am powerless to help you even if I want to.

Yue'er, you are so kind, you should be able to understand me, right?"

When Liu Ruyue heard what the man said, she felt very upset: Is he trying to morally blackmail me?

Just because I can't understand him doesn't mean he's unkind?

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Deputy Chief Han writing down their conversation furiously in the tree. Liu Ruyue deliberately slowed down her pace and didn't say anything.

However, Liu Ruyue's considerate silence made Xuanyuan Jingye think that he was right, and he was ecstatic in his heart: This bitch blames me in her heart, but she still has me.

In an instant, the affection on his face became even more disgusting:

"Yue'er, it's very painful for a woman to have no children in her life. You may not feel it now because you are young, but you will understand it when you are old and ugly and the emperor despises you.

Hey, Yue'er, only I, only I am eternally unchanging to you.

Why don't you say a few good words for me in front of the emperor and ask him to adopt me as the crown prince?

Yue'er, don't worry, as long as I ascend to the throne, I will definitely protect you and won't let anyone embarrass you..."

The more Xuanyuan Jingye spoke, the more he felt it made sense, and he became more and more excited: "Yue'er, you love me deeply, and you must hope that I can sit in that position, right?

Don't worry, when I become the emperor, I will make you the queen mother, and we can even close the palace gates..."

Just thinking about it, Xuanyuan Jingye felt very excited: I slept with my father's woman...

Although Liu Ruyue didn't say anything, she kept looking at Deputy Chief Han who was writing furiously on the tree.

When she saw that the other person's hands were shaking slightly because of the man's outrageous words, she felt very satisfied: What a scumbag, he wanted to fool me without even considering whether I had the luck to do that.

When these words reached Xuanyuan Yunche's ears, Xuanyuan Jingye would certainly not be able to keep his position as the prince of Prince Jing's mansion, let alone be adopted as the emperor's heir.

"Yue'er, what do you think?"

Xuanyuan Jingye felt his entire body begin to heat up just thinking about his future illicit love affair with Liu Ruyue. His eyes were filled with intense lust as he looked at Liu Ruyue, which made her feel so disgusted that she spitted back at him on the spot:

"You've been a woman before? How do you know that it's pitiful for a woman to be childless in this life?

Not only did you call His Majesty an old man who couldn't have children, but you even wanted me to help you become His Majesty's child. How come you like me so much, but since you can't marry me, you want to be my son?

What a pity! I won’t accept just any broken thing. You are not worthy of being my son! "

"Yue'er..."

Xuanyuan Jingye felt that his proposal was the best of both worlds, and he never thought that Liu Ruyue would refuse.

After all, if a queen has no children, and especially when the emperor is unable to give birth, her position as queen is unstable and she has no future.

In this case, shouldn't we be happy to agree to the promise of becoming the next crown prince?

"Who the hell are you to call me by my first name?"

Liu Ruyue frowned and said to Luo Sheng and Luo Shu, "Give him two slaps to wake him up, or else he'll show off in front of me and disgust me..."

Upon hearing Liu Ruyue's order, Luo Sheng and Luo Shu immediately raised their hands to hit someone.

Xuanyuan Jingye naturally would not take a beating obediently, and fled away in a daze.

Hiding in a deserted place, Xuanyuan Jingye felt very confused: Why did Liu Ruyue suddenly have no feelings for him?

Were you pretending before?

So is Yao Xinyan also pretending?

No, he had already lost Liu Ruyue. Now he had to make good use of Yao Xinyan and Zhuang Luoqin. Once he got that position, he would avenge today's grudge!
