Probably because he hadn't had a good rest in the past few days in the palace, Pei Che didn't get up early for the first time.

Jiang Shiyuan lay on the pillow, looking at him carefully. As he looked, he couldn't help touching and poking here and there with his fingers.

It's perfect.

“It’s perfect!”

As soon as Pei Che opened his eyes, he heard such an exclamation. Needless to say, his little genius had woken up after hearing his love talk. It seemed that he was in a good mood today.

"What's perfect?"

"woke up?"

Jiang Shiyuan was stunned for a moment, and tried to pull his hand back from under the quilt in panic, but was instead held firmly by a palm.

How can we not wake up when people are fanning the flames everywhere?

Pei Che held her hand and pressed it against his tight waist and abdomen.

"Like this, don't you?"

Every time they went together, she would hold his waist tightly, extremely excited.

Discovered!

Jiang Shiyuan's face flushed, he shrank his neck timidly, and said stubbornly:

"You don't have to feel inferior. Apart from this," she pulled out her hand and pinched his face: "Your face...is actually not bad."

"Just not bad?" Pei Che raised his eyebrows and bit her ear and said, "People are crying and saying, Pei Che, why are you so beautiful? I like you so much."

Jiang Shiyuan immediately reached out to cover his mouth, his face felt like it was burning.

"Did I say that? I obviously didn't say that," she retorted in a low voice.

"So what did you say?"

Pei Che turned over and held her under him, looking at her with interest, as if he would not let go unless she answered.

Jiang Shiyuan had no choice but to avoid his sight, looking sideways at the bed curtains at the head of the bed, and said awkwardly: "I clearly said, Pei Che, why are you so good-looking? You can only sleep in my bed in this life, and you can only be my bridegroom."

Well, when she was in love, she was even more outrageous than Pei Che.

On the wedding night, he drove her crazy. She hung on his waist and wouldn't let go, crying and asking him to promise that he could only love her and be devoted to her.

Pei Che let out a low laugh of pleasure, lowered his head and kissed her soft cheek, repeating his answer from that night without hesitation.

"I, Pei Che, will always submit to only Jiang Shiyuan."

Jiang Shiyuan curled his lips and said, "Okay, I'm so sick and tired. I can't get out of this bed for a while."

…

The fire in the Su family was put out, but the shock in the court lasted for nearly half a month.

The harem was also full of ups and downs.

First, Imperial Concubine Lan knelt in the imperial study for a whole night without seeing the emperor. Then, Imperial Concubine Lan rushed directly into Zhuixia Palace and insulted Imperial Concubine Jiang.

"Jiang Wanping, I really underestimated you. People say you come from a military family and are straightforward and simple-minded. But in fact, you are the most cunning one."

"Over the years, you have been so good at pretending to be indifferent and magnanimous. You seem to be absent-minded, but in fact you have calculated everything clearly. You know that you and the emperor have shared hardships, and you know that the emperor feels guilty about you. You use your pity to make the emperor feel indebted to you and your son forever."

Imperial Concubine Lan is hysterical. After ten years of being pampered, the person who loves luxury the most now has wrinkled clothes, her pearl hairpins are slanted and dull, and she looks like a shrew.

It's really an eyesore.

Concubine Jiang raised her hand and slapped her.

Even though they hadn't used force for decades, this slap still knocked the man aside, making Imperial Concubine Lan dizzy and bleeding from the corner of her mouth.

"Ten years ago, when my brother died in the war, you didn't say that."

"You said I was really pitiful, you said I was a waste, even though I was loved by Xie Linyuan, my family was still broken up and I was trampled under your feet."

Concubine Jiang looked down at the woman in front of her: "So what if I took advantage of his debt, doesn't he owe me?"

She used his "debt" to protect Jing Huai and Yuan Er, so why not?

After being defeated overnight and losing all her splendor, Imperial Concubine Lan collapsed, but Imperial Concubine Jiang did not forget to kill her.

"How do you think you got the power for the past ten years? I gave it to you. Ten years ago, Xie Linyuan wanted to make me his queen because he felt guilty, but I refused and that's why I let you take power."

"You have to thank me for my magnanimity, even though I was pretending." Concubine Jiang said with a smile.

But the smile didn't last long. After Imperial Concubine Lan was so angry that she trembled all over and left in anger, Imperial Concubine Jiang's smile fell.

It is true that he took advantage of the emperor's fault, but his magnanimity was not fake.

She had stopped loving him a long time ago.

After entering this deep palace backyard, how many women would still put their love on you? Are you stupid?

Whether she was relying on luck or was too anxious, Concubine Lan was slapped in the face and went to the Golden Palace crying to stop the emperor from dismissing the court.

But the emperor not only did not have the slightest pity for her, but on the contrary, he "misbehaved in front of the palace" and had Concubine Lan taken back to his palace to be confined and reflect on her mistakes.

As soon as the emperor reprimanded Concubine Lan, the news of Concubine Jiang's self-punishment spread throughout the palace.

Imperial Concubine Jiang believed that she had slapped Imperial Concubine Lan, which was against palace rules, so in order to be fair, she punished herself by going to the royal ancestral temple to copy scriptures and meditate for a month.

Xie Linyuan hurried over: "Wanping, no one wants to punish you, and no one dares to say anything."

Concubine Jiang was indifferent: "It is my duty to share your worries."

Xie Linyuan was startled when he heard the word "minister".

Long-lost memories suddenly came to mind.

Back then, he was still an unknown prince and she was only two years old.

She held two swords in her hands, wore a light armor, and was full of high spirits, as if she didn't take the world into consideration at all.

Such a proud person was willing to bow down just because of his appreciation.

She once said to him: I am willing to follow Your Highness until death!

She just wanted to be his right-hand man, but he lied to her, saying that he needed her, and tricked her into the square inner courtyard of the backyard.

From then on, the hands that danced with swords picked up needle and thread, the military strategies that she had learned became palace rules and regulations for women, and General Jiang became Concubine Jiang, Concubine Jiang, and Imperial Concubine Jiang.

Xie Linyuan felt a dull pain in his chest: "Do you really have to go? I was planning to crown you the queen before the New Year."

He promised her the throne of queen and wanted to offer it to her with both hands, even though it was twenty-five years late.

Xie Linyuan took out the imperial edict that crowned him queen ten years ago.

Concubine Jiang seemed to have seen the thing she least wanted to see, with resistance and pain in her eyes.

"Xie Linyuan, I agreed to marry you not because of this position of queen."

"I don't want the position of wife. I marry you as a concubine because I want you to get what you want and have no worries." Concubine Jiang said bitterly.

Love makes people so blind that those who originally chased the moon and the stars are willing to fold their wings and become the canary in his cage.

"I thought you understood."

Xie Linyuan opened his mouth and moved closer to her: "I understand..."

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Concubine Jiang retorted: "You don't understand!"

"You don't understand at all!"

Imperial Concubine Jiang stared at the imperial edict in his hand, and all the resentment that had been accumulated for ten years burst out like a flood.

"If you hadn't told Huaicheng that you would make me the queen after this battle, Huaicheng and Yiyun would never have asked to fight!"

"They don't want to go. Huaicheng is covered in old injuries, and Yiyun can't get pregnant again because of the arrow. They want to stay in the capital. They want to celebrate Yuan'er's birthday and New Year's Eve. They want stability and want to accompany their beloved daughter and watch her grow up."

"They never came back. They never came back."

"In the last letter home, Huaicheng was still comforting me. He said, sister, don't worry, next year's New Year's Eve, our whole family can celebrate together. Then, he will make a rabbit lantern for me and hang it on the head of the bed, just like when I was a child."

Concubine Jiang covered her face with her hands, but tears flowed drop by drop from between her fingers.

"Xie Linyuan, how do you want me to enjoy the splendor of this palace peacefully? How do you want me to sit on the throne peacefully?"
