Chapter 230 Your Majesty, how can she cry so easily!
Pearl truly never expected that Consort Liu would say such a cowardly thing.
Her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she looked at Consort Liu with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, whispering, "Your Majesty? You...you...are you sure?"
"Of course I'm certain."
"Even if I use all my strength, I'm still no match for them."
"Then you might as well just lie down!"
Consort Liu spoke with such confidence and self-assurance, completely disregarding whether she held power or not.
"Anyway, it's good that Meng Yanzhi became the empress. She won't wrong me, and she will definitely take good care of me."
Consort Liu was never an ambitious person. Before she married, she always wanted to be a carefree, leisurely woman, never imagining that she would enter the palace.
Pearl was completely at a loss for words. Following such a master meant no riches or glory, but... stability was definitely guaranteed.
Haitang Palace.
Xiao Xingyuan held Meng Yanzhi's hand and pinched her nose helplessly: "You, you're so impatient?"
"I wasn't in a big hurry to begin with."
"Besides, she humiliated me first! When I was a lady-in-waiting, I could only let it go, but now that I'm a concubine, why should I act like a spineless coward?"
"Your Majesty, you wouldn't want me to suffer, would you?"
Meng Yanzhi sat down on Xiao Xingyuan's lap and stared at him expectantly.
Xiao Xingyuan simply loved Meng Yanzhi's charming and innocent appearance; he found her incredibly adorable.
He took Meng Yanzhi's hand, placed it to his lips, and kissed it: "Well said. The reason I want you to be my Imperial Concubine is to give you the best of everything. You don't have to suffer any grievances, nor do you have to follow any rules. I just want to be an ordinary couple with you!"
"Your Majesty, is what you're saying true?" Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan with some disbelief.
She was naturally willing to be an ordinary couple with Xiao Xingyuan, but Meng Yanzhi knew in her heart that Xiao Xingyuan was an emperor, and an emperor could not be an ordinary couple with her.
But ironically, these words, spoken by Xiao Xingyuan, have stirred up a huge uproar.
"Your Majesty...you're so good to me." Meng Yanzhi suddenly kissed him, holding Xiao Xingyuan tightly in her arms: "Husband..."
Those two simple words immediately made Xiao Xingyuan's throat bob. He glanced outside and then pinned the man to the bed.
In broad daylight, the two of them were together, their desire burning intensely, and Wang Huanhai, who was guarding outside, simply couldn't bear to watch.
They were already inseparable before they were officially married, and now they're even more open about it, not even bothering to pretend anymore. It's just too arrogant!
However, Xiao Xingyuan was still very measured and did not make a scene. He kissed Meng Yanzhi with lingering affection.
"I still have matters to attend to in the previous court. I will come to see you after I finish."
"Be a good boy/girl."
Do you know?
Xiao Xingyuan chuckled softly, pulled the blanket over Meng Yanzhi, and began to dress himself.
Meng Yanzhi wanted to get up to help, but Xiao Xingyuan pressed her down: "You just lie there, I can do it myself."
Seeing this, Meng Yanzhi blushed with embarrassment, but she also lay down on the bed with a clear conscience.
After Xiao Xingyuan finished tidying himself up, he asked, "Do you like the right to manage the six palaces?"
“I don’t like it, it’s too much trouble, and Consort Liu has been very good to me, I don’t want to hurt her.” Meng Yanzhi sighed, sat up, hugged her knees, and said with some frustration, “This position of Consort is already very unfair to her, I don’t know how to face her.”
"If anyone should apologize, it's me who should apologize, not you. After all, it was I who bestowed upon you the title of Imperial Concubine!"
"I will explain this to her personally, so you don't need to worry about it too much."
After saying this, Xiao Xingyuan turned and walked outside.
Meng Yanzhi rested briefly before getting up and heading towards Zhaoyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects."
Meng Yanzhi bowed respectfully.
Seeing her respectful and reserved demeanor, Consort Liu couldn't help but smile: "We are now true sisters, why are you still so coy? Don't worry, I'm not angry with you!"
"Really?" Meng Yanzhi's eyes lit up, and she stared at Consort Liu with longing eyes, looking just like a wet little puppy.
Looking at her adorable appearance, Consort Liu lost all her anger and beckoned her to sit beside her.
"Rouge, you have no idea how happy I am that you have become a Noble Consort."
"Don't worry, from now on no one can bully you. You should live a carefree life like this."
Consort Liu held Meng Yanzhi's hand, her eyes welling up with tears of relief.
Seeing this, Meng Yanzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, I am so sorry, I don't know how to say it. I always feel like I stole yours."
"What you stole wasn't mine; it was yours to begin with."
"Although His Majesty and I have been together for many years, he has never loved me, and I have never been fond of him. Our marriage was nothing more than a political one, and we were just business partners."
Consort Liu rarely mentioned these things, but she had to tell Meng Yanzhi, because she couldn't let Meng Yanzhi live with guilt forever.
"Your Majesty, how can you be so kind?"
Meng Yanzhi's eyes suddenly reddened, and her nose felt sore.
From childhood to adulthood, across two lifetimes, no one has ever treated Meng Yanzhi with such gentleness, nor has anyone ever understood or loved her.
Having been reborn, Meng Yanzhi finally obtained all of this, but ironically, it did not come from her family, but from Consort Liu in front of her.
Meng Yanzhi leaned gently on her shoulder, choking back tears as she said, "Your Majesty, you are my benefactor and savior for life. I will be good to you for the rest of my life!"
"If it's for compensation, then no need. You don't owe me anything."
Consort Liu took a handkerchief and gently wiped Meng Yanzhi's cheeks.
Meng Yanzhi couldn't hold back her tears and smiled foolishly.
"If only you were my real sister."
If someone in the Meng family could give her that kind of warmth, wouldn't many of these things have been avoided?
Seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, Consort Liu sighed: "Actually, I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances at home, but now it's different. You are a consort, the emperor's beloved, and also my sister. No one can bully you anymore, nor would they dare to. You can hold your head high and be a person of dignity!"
"Your Highness, you are the best woman in the world. If the Emperor doesn't love you, it's because he's blind!"
