The emperor glanced at her and said in a tone as if he had been drinking vinegar for ten or eight years, "Xiahou Riyue's words were an accusation that the empress is fickle and prone to changing her affections."
Jian Yang: "..."
That's absolutely outrageous!
What do you mean by "fickle"?
Why doesn't he just say she's promiscuous?
wrong.
What gives him the right to say that about her?
Just because the original owner once liked him?
So he can give no response, even feel quite disgusted with her, yet demand that she remain faithful to him for life, or else he can indirectly insult her.
What kind of robber logic is this?
After thinking it over, Jian Yang concluded that this person's brain was definitely messed up!
Seeing the unpredictable expression on her face, the emperor assumed he had touched a sore spot and was quite displeased.
Normally, whatever he did would hardly cause her any emotional fluctuations, but now, just mentioning Xiahou Riyue had elicited such a strong reaction from her.
It's hard not to suspect that the two are completely innocent.
"Does Your Majesty wish for me to rekindle your past relationship?" he asked casually.
Jian Yang was furious at the moment, regardless of the sarcasm and fickleness of others.
Then the emperor added fuel to the fire, and she immediately lost her temper. She sat up abruptly, her face stern, and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?"
The emperor said indifferently, "Anyway, you and I haven't consummated our marriage yet. If you want to rekindle your relationship with Xiahou Riyue, I can make arrangements for you."
Okay, so you're going to be sarcastic now, huh?
Then don't blame her for hurting each other!
Jian Yang also said sarcastically, "Is it true that as long as I consummate my marriage with Your Majesty, Your Majesty will stop using these words to annoy me?"
The emperor paused in his act of loosening his belt.
He wasn't sure if he would say those things again, but at that moment, the image of Jian Yang's graceful figure emerging from the bath suddenly and uncontrollably appeared in his mind.
This made him suddenly feel a bit hot.
Just as he was trying to calm his thoughts, Jian Yang fearlessly added, "Oh dear, look at my memory! I almost forgot that Your Majesty suffers from a hidden illness. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Come on, let's hurt each other.
Since the emperor intends to use both sexes against her, she shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.
Men are most afraid of being told they are incompetent, and Jian Yang was convinced that his words would be a devastating blow to the emperor.
To everyone's surprise, the emperor suddenly chuckled and turned to look at her, "Would the Empress like to give it a try?"
Jian Yang was about to say, "Let's give it a try, who's afraid of who?"
But when she looked into his deep yet fiery eyes, her subconscious told her that she should back down at this moment.
She had no choice but to back down; the emperor's gaze was terrifying, and she felt like she was about to be devoured at any moment.
"Your Majesty, I was just joking. It's getting late, so let's go to sleep."
After saying that, Jian Yang casually lay back down in bed and obediently covered herself with the blanket.
Although she wasn't a great man, she was still able to bend and stretch.
The emperor smiled and continued to turn his head away to take off his clothes.
Jian Yang: May the Bodhisattva protect me.
Just as sleepiness was creeping into Jian Yang's eyelids, a thunderclap exploded in her ears.
The emperor said in a serious tone, "Empress, give me a child."
Jian Yang was no longer sleepy.
I even had trouble sleeping that night.
It's bad enough that they made her work like a slave, but this dog emperor even had his eyes on her pregnant belly!
Even the most unscrupulous capitalists aren't as ruthless as him!
The next morning, as soon as the emperor left for the morning court session, Jian Yang immediately sent Lian Xia to the Imperial Hospital to retrieve some herbs that she had specifically requested.
At noon, the emperor waited in the imperial study for Jian Yang to report, but he waited and waited and waited and he did not come.
Finally, he received the news that she had caught a cold and was bedridden.
So he immediately put aside his official duties and went to Weiyang Palace.
Jian Yang was lying weakly in bed at the time. When he saw the emperor arrive, he immediately started coughing violently.
"Cough cough cough, Your Majesty, I am ill and cannot bow to Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty, cough cough cough..."
The emperor walked to her side, raised his hand to touch her forehead and pale face, and said gently, "Fortunately, you don't have a fever."
Jian Yang was so frightened by his remarks about surrogacy last night that she shrank back.
The emperor was somewhat annoyed by her resistance, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.
Jian Yang saw this and used a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth: "Cough cough cough, Your Majesty, please sit further away, lest I pass on my illness to you."
It turns out she was concerned about him.
The emperor immediately dismissed it with a smile and said, "It's alright. You should take good care of yourself. I'll come and have dinner with you when I'm done with my work."
Jian Yang: "..."
Fortunately, the emperor did not keep his promise.
It wasn't that he deliberately stood me up, but rather that the weather had finally warmed up, and there were things that had piled up all winter that needed to be dealt with.
In order to handle state affairs, the emperor has been living a life of going back and forth between the Hall of Mental Cultivation and the Imperial Study these days, and he really can't find the time to come to her place.
Jian Yang is thrilled now.
With the emperor away, her life became much easier.
No need to dress up deliberately, no need to pay attention to your demeanor at all times, and no need to worry about saying something that might cause trouble.
But it seemed that fate couldn't bear to see her comfortable.
Before they could even enjoy their happiness for two days, Xiahou Riyue actually came to see them in person.
Although Jian Yang was surprised, she still had someone invite him in.
Looking at Xiahou Riyue, who seemed a little uneasy, Jian Yang pointed to the large and small bags of gifts he had brought and teased, "I didn't realize that Lord Xiahou would also be involved in bribery."
Xiahou Riyue, who was already feeling awkward, immediately blushed. "Your Majesty, please don't speak nonsense. I have come to visit you on His Majesty's behalf."
Now it was Jian Yang's turn to be dumbfounded.
What is the emperor up to?
Knowing full well that the original owner of this body had impure thoughts about Xiahou Riyue, they still specially sent him here.
Could it be that they want to test the two of them?
Jian Yang suddenly sat up straight and said with a serious expression, "Thank you for your trouble, Lord Xiahou. I will be going to Fuxi Palace to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager shortly, so I will not be able to entertain you any longer."
Xiahou Riyue bowed to Jian Guanzhong and withdrew.
Jian Yang thought the emperor would stop after testing her once, but she never expected that Xiahou Riyue would come to her place every day afterward, making her increasingly confused.
At this moment, she really wanted to rush into the imperial study and ask the dog emperor what he meant. Even if he was just making fun of people, there should be a limit!
However, before she could go to the Imperial Study, Zhou Jing'an arrived instead.
Jian Yang was immediately annoyed upon seeing him, and said coldly, "I wonder what brings you here, Second Imperial Brother?"
Zhou Jing'an still wore his signature smile.
"The Empress has been living deep within the palace for so long, she probably hasn't heard of the rumors that have been circulating widely outside recently, has she?"
Jian Yang asked in confusion, "What rumors are you spreading?"
Zhou Jing'an laughed and said, "Now there are rumors going around inside and outside the palace that the Empress and Lord Xiahou are having an affair and rekindling their old flame. That's the best part. Some of the things said are really unpleasant, so I won't say them to offend the Empress's ears."
Jian Yang frowned.
The ancients' limited imagination could only be used to think about those trivial matters between men and women, right?
