Wu Qing said, "Your Majesty, I was harmed by Xiwen before, and my reputation was damaged. Now many people in the palace misunderstand me, thinking that I only want wealth and fame, and have no sincerity towards you. Please make the decision for me."

The emperor frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Why bring up this matter again?

Hasn’t she been allowed to build “Nanshan Garden”?

The emperor remained calm and asked gently, "In this case, in your opinion, what should I do so that you will no longer worry about this matter?"

Wu Qing glanced at Qin Lixue and saw that he was still standing there like a log, so she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I went to the storehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs yesterday and saw many rare treasures stored there."

"I don't ask for much. Just pick one of the Dongzhu earrings, kingfisher feather headpiece, coral bracelet, jade ring, gold ingot, and cloisonné enamel ear burner. It will be enough for the emperor to give it to me as an apology." Wu Qing said generously.

…Is Lady Ji announcing the names of the dishes? The emperor laughed in silence.

She deliberately said these things in front of Qin Lixue just to show off his favor.

In that case, why not let him give it to her?

"Why don't you want some writings by scholars? Maybe you don't like the ones in the warehouse?" the emperor asked her.

[Of course not, Qin Lixue also likes to give these. Your Majesty, you must distinguish yourself from him and use your financial resources to slap him in the face.]

Wu Qing said: "I am a layman. Although I appreciate the handwriting of scholars, what I love in my heart is always these gold, silver and jewelry. Your Majesty, what do you think? Do you want to give it to me or not~~"

She began to act coquettishly on the spot, as if saying, "If the emperor doesn't agree, I'm afraid I'll make a scene."

"You are right. I did not consider your preferences. It is my fault."

The emperor sighed deeply, as if he really regretted it.

He put down the imperial brush in his hand, turned to look at Wu Qing and said, "How about this, you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and pick out what you like, and don't let others think that I am dissatisfied with you because of this."

...Just pick any one?!

"Your Majesty, your words are golden, you cannot lie to me!"

Wu Qing couldn't believe her ears. She hugged the emperor's arm tightly, her eyes shining with gold.

At this moment, the emperor was no longer the leader who liked to nag her about her business plans, but a god of wealth to be worshipped.

The Emperor: "...Why would I lie to you? If you have the guts, just empty my warehouse."

After saying this, the emperor regretted it.

Wait a minute, if Ji Guiren can wield the Sword of Breaking Evil, then it doesn't seem to be that difficult to empty his warehouse...

Without giving the emperor time to regret, Wu Qing immediately let go of his hand.

She touched her knees to the ground and bowed deeply, solemnly and respectfully.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. You are the best to me!" Wu Qing said piously and gratefully, "I live in poverty at home. Fortunately, Your Majesty loves me, so I can live such a good life."

Her voice was so delicate that it seemed like it could squeeze water out of it.

The emperor endured it again and again and did not say anything directly to her in front of Qin Lixue.

There was no other way. If I scolded Concubine Ji, I would be the one who would suffer from listening to her thoughts in the future.

Since Ji Guiren is unkind, don't blame him for being unjust. The worst that can happen is that they will disgust each other.

The emperor patted Wu Qing's hand gently and said affectionately: "It's good that you understand my feelings. I know you didn't have a good life before, but you are my noble now, and I will never treat you unfairly."

"Rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, anything I have, you can take."

[…What’s wrong with the emperor? The way he looks at me is more affectionate than the way the eldest prince looks at my flesh?] Wu Qing’s pupils trembled.

[It's fine if I just act, but why did he also act? ]

[However, his acting made me look more like a beautiful woman who brought disaster to the government, which is not bad.]

After spending this period of time together, the emperor has gained a deep understanding of Wu Qing's character.

If you go along with her, she will say a lot of good things about you in her heart, and even inadvertently reveal some crises that may come in the future.

Thanks to this, the emperor has avoided several assassination attempts.

But if you accidentally touch her sensitive nerves.

——Then probably, you will feel as embarrassed as Qin Lixue right now.

[Qin Lixue must be feeling very unbalanced now, right? His ex-girlfriend has become prettier and has money now.]

[Ah... look at this kid's expression, hahaha, he has to swallow his anger even though he has gritted his teeth, not daring to show any resentment in front of the emperor.]

[Qin Lixue got married at his mother's order. He and his wife have a weak relationship and treat each other with respect every day. Now that he sees the deep affection between the emperor and me, he must be feeling mixed emotions.]

Indeed, the way Wu Qing and the emperor were so close and indifferent to each other, really made Qin Li feel uncomfortable.

Especially when he heard that the emperor was willing to open the warehouse of the Imperial Household Department and let Wu Qing choose treasures at will.

All this was undoubtedly a deep stimulation to Qin Lixue.

He was surprised at how much the emperor doted on Wu Qing, and felt an indescribable disgust at Wu Qing's attitude of trying to please the emperor.

The feeling of discussing poetry and songs with him back then has changed after all.

But behind the disdain, Qin Lixue felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

There seemed to be a faint voice deep in his heart constantly echoing him, pointing out his powerlessness - he was not as good as the emperor and could not give Wu Qing the life he longed for.

Look at her smile, isn’t it much brighter than before?

Qin Lixue had been holding on to some unspeakable thoughts for a long time. He thought that Wu Qing must be like him and still miss the other person.

However, reality gave him a loud slap in the face.

——Wu Qing didn’t regret entering the palace at all.

Just look at how she feels like a fish in water next to the emperor, that smile, that expression, how could she have any lustful thoughts about him?

At the same time, Wu Qing suddenly uttered an "Ah" in surprise, as if he had just realized Qin Lixue's existence.

"Master Qin, I am so rude."

She opened her red lips slightly, with a hint of apology in her voice, "I was so busy chatting with the Emperor that I forgot you were waiting here. Please forgive me."

Wu Qing bowed slightly and gave a somewhat perfunctory greeting.

The emperor seemed to have just noticed him and said calmly, "I had a very pleasant conversation with Lady Ji. I am sorry to have kept Lord Qin waiting for so long."

Qin Lixue said calmly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind."

"Noble Ji," the emperor turned to Wu Qing and ordered, "Regarding the matter of the small test, you can discuss it in detail with Qin Qing."

"I obey your command." Wu Qing turned around with a lingering smile.

She stared at Qin Lixue, and after a brief pause, suddenly began to dry heave.

“Ugh…Ugh!”

[Oh my god, what's going on? ]

Wu Qing was confused. She didn't know why she felt so disgusting.

She didn't look at Qin Lixue closely just now, but once her eyes touched his face, her original emotions surged out like a tide and all projected into her mind.

Disgust, hatred, sadness...all kinds of feelings intertwined in his heart. Wu Qing looked at Qin Lixue as if he was looking at a walking maggot.

Seeing that she was obviously unwell, the emperor immediately became nervous, "Send the imperial physician immediately!"

Wu Qing said with a pale face: "Your Majesty, I am fine, but I just can't control myself. Ugh——"

[Damn it, I feel so uncomfortable. ]

[Why is Qin Lixue the sick one, but I am the one who is injured? No, I want him to get hurt too.]

Wu Qing suddenly had an idea and came up with another way to make Qin Lixue uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, when was the last time I slept with you?" She pretended to be weak and leaned weakly on the emperor's shoulder.

Wu Qing's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

Qin Lixue's expression suddenly changed.

Could it be that... she is pregnant?

emperor:"……"

How can he cooperate with the acting?

Don’t you know what you did that night?
