After listening to Yu Xiangrong's monologue, Murong Xi felt somewhat ashamed.
Her initial goal was actually to sow discord between Yu Xiangrong and Zhang Xiaoyu. If she were to return to Yueyao Kingdom and relinquish the throne, she would inevitably have to come to Jingzhou and join the ranks of these women, even if she didn't want to...
Yu Xiangrong was very much to her liking. While sowing discord between the two of them, if she could bring Yu Xiangrong to her side and establish a good relationship with her, then she wouldn't be alone when she came back in the future...
Unfortunately, she underestimated Yu Xiangrong.
When she saw that even the somewhat simple-minded Yu Xiangrong could have such a broad mind, she instantly felt ashamed and embarrassed for her own narrow-mindedness.
After thinking for a moment, Murong Xi mustered her courage and said, "Xiangrong, I was wrong..."
"Where did the Empress go wrong?"
Yu Xiangrong tilted her head, looking simple-minded and puzzled.
"Xiangrong, actually, I said that to deliberately sow discord between you two..."
As an empress, Murong Xi, like any woman, sometimes gets petty and jealous, but she still has the responsibility she should have. If she knows she has made a mistake, she will admit it without hesitation.
Yu Xiangrong was rather simple-minded; if Murong Xi hadn't mentioned it, she would never have known that Murong Xi had such thoughts.
He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I forgive you!"
Looking at Yu Xiangrong's bright smile, Murong Xi could no longer bring himself to deceive her. No one could bear to lie to such an innocent woman.
"Xiangrong, thank you!"
Then she added softly, "Actually, I'm really envious of you..."
"..."
Yu Xiangrong was momentarily at a loss for words when faced with these remarks.
She could roughly understand Murong Xi's thoughts, and the reason she was here today was because she had a "mission" to carry out. As for the mission, it was arranged by Zhang Xiaoyu this morning: to keep an eye on Murong Xi.
However, at this moment, Yu Xiangrong felt a little sorry for her.
As a woman herself, she could understand Murong Xi's helplessness in liking a man but being powerless to do anything about it. When she liked Jing Zhe, she knew that Jing Zhe was also with Zhu Xinning. She originally thought that she had no hope, so she could only keep it in her heart, looking at the words he wrote every day, speechless, with only tears streaming down her face.
If it weren't for Zhu Xinning's guidance later, how could she have the confidence and courage to speak to Murong Xi like this now?
"Xiangrong, I've met quite a few people since I came to Jingzhou, but you're the best of them all! Some people are just waiting for me to leave! Well, I'll grant their wish and leave in a few days!"
As she spoke, Murong Xi's voice trembled slightly. She had only fallen in love with a man, yet she was treated with such hostility and hostility, which naturally made her feel wronged.
Yu Xiangrong knew who "they" was, so she said, "Empress, actually Second Sister and Sister Xiaoyu are both very, very nice people!"
"Is that good? I don't think so!"
Murong Xi said coldly.
"Empress, I was in the same situation as you back then. Although I liked the young master, I was clumsy with words. In addition, I knew at that time that he had his second sister. He could even level mountains and seas, so no one could stop him from having feelings for his second sister. Therefore, I dared not say anything."
Yu Xiangrong's voice suddenly became cheerful: "But my second sister took the initiative to find me, and even advised me to be bold. She also treated me as one of her own, which is why I am where I am today. Sister Xiaoyu's situation is similar to mine, or even worse. It was also my second sister who made her the way she is now. So my second sister is really good!"
"..."
Murong Xi was silent for a moment, then pouted and said, "She may be really good to you, but it's a different story when it comes to me!"
"Empress, you can't really blame Second Sister. If Xiangrong were her, she might have done the same! After all, Empress, your status is really special. If the young master has to give up others if he marries Empress, Xiangrong wouldn't be willing either! Second Sister treats Empress this way to protect all of us!"
Yu Xiangrong raised her head and spoke earnestly.
"What if I don't become empress?"
"Then Second Sister will definitely not make things difficult for Empress Sister anymore!"
Yu Xiangrong immediately asked, "Can the Empress really give up being the Empress?"
"this…"
Seeing Murong Xi hesitate, Yu Xiangrong continued, "Actually, Xiangrong knows that how could the Empress possibly give up the throne? After all, it's something so many people dream of..."
For a moment, Murong Xi wanted to tell the truth, but then she considered that if she told Yu Xiangrong, Yu Xiangrong would probably tell Zhu Xinning right afterward. What difference would that make from bowing down to her?
She'll think I'm afraid of her and deliberately said I'd give up the throne, right? Well, I'll just stay silent until she actually hands over the throne to Chu Xia, and then come to her all alone. Then I'll hold my head high and say I'm not the empress, and see how she reacts!
So he asked, "Xiangrong, if you were me, and you had the throne, what would you choose?"
Without even a second thought, Yu Xiangrong firmly replied, "For Xiangrong, nothing is more important than the throne, wealth, or even my favorite poetry and calligraphy than you, young master. I would give up everything else for you!"
"..."
Murong Xi was speechless.
Compared to pursuing love, she is not as good as her.
"Xiangrong, you're amazing!"
Murong Xi said sincerely, then smiled and said, "However, I believe most in fate. It was fate that brought us together, and if fate brings us together, I believe that day is not far off! If that day comes, Xiangrong, please don't look down on your sister!"
"Hehe, if the Empress Sister were no longer the Empress, Xiangrong would definitely welcome her with open arms! Don't worry, Empress Sister, if that day ever comes, not only will Xiangrong accept you, but the other sisters will definitely accept you just as they accepted Xiangrong back then!"
Yu Xiangrong said confidently.
"Let's leave the rest to time! Xiangrong, let's not talk about this anymore. Why don't you tell me how you two met, and what kind of person he is in your eyes?"
Although Murong Xi had feelings for Jing Zhe, she didn't actually know much about him. She only knew that he was exceptionally skilled in martial arts, was the leader of the martial arts alliance, and had a grudge against the Prince of Jin. She had only just heard Yu Xiangrong tell her that Jing Zhe was good at calligraphy and poetry.
Therefore, she became even more curious about Jing Zhe's affairs.
"The young master in Xiangrong's eyes..."
Mentioning Jing Zhe, Yu Xiangrong's peach blossom eyes sparkled again: "He's an exceptionally capable person!"
"..."
