Chapter 111: Can't bear to see the emperor frown
Xiao Heng opened his arms: "Come here."
As Liu Yuetang stood up, Xiao Heng held her in his arms and held her hands affectionately.
"In Chunxi Palace, did Concubine Yu deliberately embarrass you?"
Liu Yuetang knew that nothing in the palace could be hidden from this master.
She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Let alone the fact that I am a concubine and Her Majesty the Jade Concubine is a concubine, even if I were a concubine, I would not compete with Her Majesty the Jade Concubine at this time."
"Oh, why?" Xiao Heng asked.
Liu Yuetang raised her eyes and looked at him, her brows clear and bright. "Because I don't want to embarrass His Majesty, making concessions for His Majesty is not cowardice, but magnanimity."
The emperor was silent for a moment, his expression moved and relieved, then he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.
He originally thought that all the concubines in the harem were like this.
All they care about is their own interests and face. They are arrogant and jealous, and do not consider the overall situation at all.
Just like yesterday, under that situation, if Ruan Fei didn't stay in the Jade Concubine Palace, where would he be?
In the eyes of court officials, the general fought bravely on the frontier battlefield to defend his country, so his family should be rewarded generously.
Ruan Fei's words yesterday were all about asking her to be promoted to Jade Consort.
He has to take into account both Concubine Zhao's thoughts and the situation in the court. How can he do both?
He had promised Concubine Zhao that no one in the six palaces would surpass her except the queen.
Therefore, if he could not appoint Concubine Yu as a noble concubine, he would naturally not do so.
So early this morning he appointed Ruan Fei as king, and sent generous rewards to Yiyuan Palace, showing him great favor.
All these are just superficial efforts.
He was only concerned about his original promise, but Concubine Zhao never thought about him.
He was already feeling bored, and just wanted to go to Yaohua Palace to listen to her talk and keep her company.
But I didn't expect that going there would only make the trouble worse.
On the contrary, every time he felt upset, the woman in his arms could quietly resolve it.
She is truly a flower that can speak eloquently.
She is so well-behaved, so well-behaved that it makes people feel pity for her. People can't help but want to pity her and want to pamper her.
He rested his chin on Liu Yuetang's shoulder and said in a gentle voice, "I haven't been to your palace for several days. Do you miss me?"
Liu Yuetang lowered her brows and smiled slightly, with dimples faintly visible on her cheeks, and nodded gently.
Hearing this, Xiao Heng raised his lips and told Zhou Defu to come in.
"Go tell Concubine Yu that I won't be coming tonight. I will go to the theater with her tomorrow."
Fearing that Concubine Yu would become jealous, Xiao Heng ordered Zhou Defu to give Concubine Yu the night-shining pearl that had been treasured in the warehouse for a long time.
But he doesn't understand women's minds at all.
Especially now, Concubine Yu wants not only rewards, but also the emperor's people, she wants to monopolize them.
Once people reach the peak of their success, they become arrogant and conceited.
Xiao Heng didn't understand, but Liu Yuetang did.
She would not bring this wave of hatred upon herself.
She looked surprised and said, "I thought the emperor would go to Yaohua Palace to accompany Concubine Zhao today."
When mentioning Concubine Zhao, Xiao Heng frowned slightly.
Liu Yuetang's eyes shone with tears: "But Concubine Zhao has been wronged and has a rift with the Emperor?"
"Empress Zhao..." Xiao Heng smiled coldly.
"Haven't you also been wronged? But you haven't been as unreasonable as Concubine Zhao."
"Because I am different from Concubine Zhao." Liu Yuetang looked at him seriously.
"Empress Zhao and the Emperor have been childhood sweethearts, so naturally their bond is unmatched. Furthermore, Empress Zhao and Empress Yu are on equal footing, so there's no reason for her to be so subservient to a fellow concubine."
"After all, I saw clearly that it was Concubine Yu who started the incident, and Concubine Zhao was just fighting back."
Xiao Heng's slightly stiff expression gradually softened: "Even so, Concubine Zhao shouldn't treat me coldly. I am the emperor, and it is impossible for me to coax her every time."
Liu Yuetang's long eyelashes trembled slightly.
The superior will never bow to love.
Or perhaps, Xiao Heng's love for Concubine Zhao has not yet reached the point of bowing down to her.
However, it will never be achieved in the future.
"What I'm saying is that Your Majesty should explain things clearly to Consort Zhao right now. Conflicts don't form overnight. If both of them have feelings for each other but are only concerned about being angry, the cycle will slowly wear thin, and they'll never be able to go back to the way they were before."
This sentence made Xiao Heng suddenly enlightened.
During the days of reconciliation with Concubine Zhao, their time together alone was very wonderful, and their eyes were full of each other.
However, there always seemed to be a veil between the two people's hearts.
Or maybe, they all try hard to get back the feeling they had before, but they can never go back to the past.
Xiao Heng never understood why they had come to this point.
After listening to Liu Yuetang's words, I suddenly understood.
He looked at Liu Yuetang dimly: "Tang'er, why did you tell me this?"
Liu Yuetang raised her hand and touched Xiao Heng's brow, and said slowly: "Because this concubine cannot bear to see the emperor frown."
Her simple words went straight to Xiao Heng's heart, like a warm current reaching his heart.
He stared at Liu Yuetang's eyes, which were as bright as stars, and lost himself in thought.
After a long time, he finally held her fingertips that were rubbing against his brow.
"Does it make you feel bad when you say these things?"
He couldn't imagine what emotions she was feeling at the moment.
Is it sadness? Or heartache?
She loves herself deeply, but still pushes herself towards others with a smile.
He even pretended to be calm and analyzed the suspicion between him and Concubine Zhao.
Liu Yuetang was stunned for a moment.
Uncomfortable? She smiled inwardly and nodded.
Of course it's uncomfortable.
She leaned against Xiao Heng's chest and said softly, "If the emperor is happy, I won't feel uncomfortable."
Xiao Heng smiled softly and patted her back: "Silly girl."
Liu Yuetang nestled in his arms and nuzzled in his arms: "I am not stupid."
Yes, she is very smart.
Xiao Heng knew this.
But every time it happens to me, I always feel stupid.
"I just promised Sister Su that I would have dinner at her palace, so I will be leaving soon."
Speaking of Su Nanqing, Xiao Heng also asked, "How is Consort Su? I haven't visited her for quite some time."
"Sister, you have severe morning sickness. You throw up everything you eat. I see your chin is getting pointed."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Heng quickly said, "Tell her that if she wants to eat something, she can just ask the imperial kitchen to make it. If it's not available, I'll have Zhou Defu find it for her."
Liu Yuetang responded softly: "Okay, I will definitely tell my sister."
Seeing that it was not too late, Xiao Heng asked Liu Yuetang to play two more games of chess with him before letting her go.
