Why?
She has admired His Majesty for many years and transformed herself into the most perfect person, becoming a role model for all the noble ladies in Jian'an City and the most popular candidate for the position of queen in Jian'an City.
But in His Majesty's eyes, she will never be seen.
That bitch, apart from having an alluring face, what else can compare to her?
Xie Yang was that loser. She had sent such a stunning beauty to him, so why didn't he rape her to death?
Why let her come back alive?
Xie Wanying lowered her head, hiding her jealousy deeply under her eyelids, staring at her toes, kneeling down and saluting.
Her demeanor was dignified and there was nothing wrong with her.
"His Majesty."
She raised her head, and two lines of tears slid across her fair cheeks and fell down.
...
...
Dignified and elegant, yet with a hint of pitifulness and helplessness that is difficult to reveal.
She was shivering like a butterfly shivering in the cold wind.
Xie Wanying confidently believed that if she showed such an expression, at least nine out of ten men would not be able to resist her.
But it just so happened that Xiao Yuqi was the tenth one.
He didn't even look at him, just concentrated on peeling the chestnuts in his hands.
This kind of thing could obviously be done by palace maids, but as the king of a country, he was willing to do this for an unknown woman.
He doesn't care about his noble status at all.
God knows how much Xie Wanying wants to replace Su Jianyue.
Su Jianyue saw Xie Wanying's behavior clearly.
She suddenly wanted to laugh.
As the saying goes, throwing a wink to a blind man is just like this, right?
Su Jianyue was satisfied with Xiao Yuqi's performance.
She picked up a cup of milk tea from her hand and put the straw to Xiao Yuqi's mouth.
"Reward for you."
Xiao Yuqi took a sip with a smile.
The light tea aroma is mixed with the rich milk flavor, mellow sweet fragrance, and strong aftertaste.
Xiao Yuqi was not used to such sweetness, but Su Jianyue seemed to like it particularly.
He took a quick taste and Su Jianyue withdrew her hand with satisfaction.
There is a harmonious atmosphere between the two people, and outsiders cannot fit in at all.
The expected response was not received.
Xie Wanying's heart was trembling violently.
She kowtowed heavily to Xiao Yuqi.
"Your Majesty, my father has been wronged. I hope Your Majesty will understand."
Su Jianyue became somewhat interested.
"Your father is innocent, so are you innocent?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Xie Wanying became alert.
"I am talking to His Majesty, why are you interrupting? You are truly a country woman, without any manners or etiquette."
No distinction between superiors and inferiors, no manners.
I wonder what your majesty sees in her?
The more they came into contact, the more indignant Xie Wanying became.
She could no longer suppress her jealousy.
Not only Su Jianyue, but even Xiao Yuqi, who was concentrating on peeling chestnuts for Su Jianyue, felt it.
"Someone, slap him."
Xiao Yuqi seemed very dissatisfied that his interest in peeling chestnuts was disrupted.
Duofu stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, and handed the whisk in his hand to his little apprentice.
Then he raised his hand high.
Xie Wanying was terrified. She didn't care about the rules and shouted, "Your Majesty, I don't know what I did wrong. Why did you slap me?"
With a "slap", a slap landed heavily on Xie Wanying's mouth.
The blow was crisp and sharp, and Xie Wanying was knocked dizzy in an instant. Blood oozed from the corners of her mouth, and her lips were numb. She looked at the heartless and cold-hearted man in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, you and I have known each other for many years. Do you really want to humiliate me like this for a woman you have only known for a few months?"
Xiao Yuqi glanced over coldly.
If it were in the past, Xie Wanying would definitely not dare to say another word.
But times are different now.
She has no way out.
I can only rush forward alone.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten who brought people to rescue you when you were bullied by the palace servants in the long court? And who saw that you were starving and gave you a piece of cake?"
There was shock in Xiao Yuqi's eyes.
"You mean, that person is you?"
Xie Wanying gritted her teeth and replied, "It's me."
"impossible."
Xiao Yuqi denied Xie Wanying's words without even thinking about it.
The person back then could definitely not be Xie Wanying.
"The maid who saved me back then is already an adult. You are two years younger than me. How did you become such an adult and come to help me?"
At that time, Taifu Xie was deeply trusted by the late emperor, and the Xie family was at its peak. Since she was a child, Xie Wanying often followed Madam Xie into the palace and talked with the late queen.
Whether entering or leaving the palace, Changting was not the only way for them.
Not only is it not a must-go route, on the contrary, Changting is located in a remote area. The palace servants here do the lowest and dirtiest jobs in the palace. Any palace servant with some power would not want to be involved with Changting at all.
Not to mention the daughter of the Grand Tutor.
"When Your Majesty was still a prince, I fell in love with Your Majesty the first time I saw You from afar. That palace maid was entrusted by me to take care of Your Majesty from time to time."
Xiao Yuqi still didn't believe it.
"Later, I sent countless people to search the palace, but I couldn't find any trace of that maid. Can you tell me what her name was? How tall was she? What did she look like? Where did she live? Where is she now?"
Xie Wanying thought about the wording she had prepared early in the morning.
"At that time, I did not ask the maid's name, nor did I ask which palace she worked for. Because I was young at that time, I can't remember what she looked like!"
Su Jianyue suddenly laughed out loud.
"So, what you mean is that you are His Majesty's benefactor, but you can't find any evidence to prove that you are a benefactor, right?"
"Of course I have evidence."
Xie Wanying explained eagerly, "Your Majesty, I remember that when I first met you, you were fighting for a baked pancake with two eunuchs who were responsible for sweeping the long street. You were pinned to the ground and beaten by those two palace servants. It was me who sent that palace maid to rescue you and gave you a piece of soft pancake. Do you remember?"
Xiao Yuqi frowned.
Xie Wanying is right.
At that time, he had just arrived in Changting and had not yet established his own power.
The palace maids and eunuchs would often snatch his food.
To this end, he learned a lot of fighting skills.
From being beaten in the beginning, no one dared to provoke him later on.
The hardships involved are beyond the imagination of outsiders.
That palace maid was the only light in his dark time.
Judging from her age, if the palace maid was still alive, she would have been released from the palace, married and had children.
Xiao Yuqi seemed to be lost in a long memory.
Su Jianyue held his hand tightly, but her eyes were fixed on Xie Wanying's face.
As an actor, Su Jianyue knows many rules of acting.
Xie Wanying's acting skills are not that good.
From her eyes, Su Jianyue could not see any nostalgia for the past.
All she saw was the narrative.
That's right.
It's about narration!
A narrative similar to that of a bystander.
This feeling is very strange.
But the urgency in her eyes was real.
