Of course, everyone knows that Xu Jinyi has not yet entered the emperor's bedchamber, but this is enough to illustrate the importance of Xu Jinyi in the emperor's heart.
A man lives in the same room with an extremely beautiful woman but does not touch her, which shows that the man cherishes her.
If it were only desire, the Queen would probably not regard Xu Jinyi as her biggest enemy. After all, all women will grow old and lose their beauty one day.
But Xu Jinyi caught the emperor's attention.
He even broke the rules repeatedly and was considered a nobleman before he even went to bed with the emperor.
How could Qiao Shengnuan, who entered the palace with her, be willing to accept this?
No matter how unwilling he was, Qiao Shengnuan had to stand up and salute Xu Jinyi.
Xu Jinyi slowly approached, brushing her knees slightly: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."
Even though the queen hated Xu Jinyi so much that she wanted to kill him, she didn't show it on her face.
Yesterday's incident just happened. If we make the emperor angry again at this time, it would be more trouble than gain.
So the queen smiled slightly and said, "Get up."
"When I first saw my sister, I was stunned by her appearance. Now that I look at her closely, I can't take my eyes off her."
"Yes, Concubine Xu is so beautiful, no wonder the emperor went to my sister's palace first last night." Concubine Wan covered her mouth and spoke.
These words made Xu Jinyi hate him enough, as could be seen from the expressions of Qiao Shengnuan and An Xin.
Xu Jinyi said calmly, "Your Majesty, thank you for your kind words."
"We are all sisters from now on. You three have just entered the palace. If you have any questions or feel uncomfortable, you can send someone to tell me."
Then the queen waved her hand, and her personal nanny came forward with a tray holding three bracelets.
"This is a bracelet I made for you. Each of the sisters in the harem has one. These three are for you."
Each bracelet is different, but the workmanship is superb, and you can tell at a glance that they are worth a fortune.
"Thank you, Queen, for the reward."
The bracelets were put on the three of them personally by the nanny, and Xu Jinyi's was undoubtedly the best-looking one.
When the bracelet got closer, Xu Jinyi smelled a strange fragrance.
It was a very pleasant smell, coming from the two bells on the bracelet.
Xu Jinyi's eyes flashed, and the cold light in them disappeared in an instant.
For some unknown reason, the queen later changed the courtyard where Qiao Shengnuan and An Xin lived into Tingfeng Pavilion.
It was said that she was afraid that the sisters in the harem would feel unfair, so Xu Jinyi lived in a place that only a noble concubine could live in.
So Qiao Shengnuan and the others also moved in next to Xu Jinyi.
After the court session, the emperor went to Siyu Palace. When he heard that Xu Jinyi had gone to the Queen's Palace to pay her respects, he got on a sedan chair and went to Kunning Palace.
He still sent people rushing all the way there, fearing that the queen would attack Xu Jinyi again.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The queen led the concubines to pay their respects to the emperor. The emperor walked in and without even looking at anyone, he walked straight towards Xu Jinyi.
He helped Xu Jinyi up and held her hand: "Didn't I tell you to rest and not to come and pay your respects?"
When everyone saw that the emperor valued Xu Jinyi so much, they had different thoughts.
Staring at Xu Jinyi's face, everyone cursed her in their hearts as a vixen.
After everyone left, the queen's eyes were red.
It can be said that she and His Majesty have known each other since childhood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are childhood sweethearts.
She always thought that the emperor loved her.
But the appearance of Xu Jinyi shattered her fantasy.
The emperor looked at Xu Jinyi with a look of deep affection that she had never seen in all those years.
Love or not, it's too obvious.
Tears fell, and the queen felt a tearing pain in her heart.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor's infatuation with Concubine Xu may just be temporary. Once the novelty wears off, the Emperor's heart will return." The nanny patted the Queen's back and comforted her.
The Queen shed tears and shook her head: "Mammy, did you see that? The Emperor heard that Xu Jinyi was here, so he hurried here. He was afraid that I would deal with Xu Jinyi."
"He couldn't hide the worry and love he had for that bitch in his eyes."
Raising her head, the queen blinked, trying hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out.
Trying hard to make myself look less embarrassed.
The Queen choked with sobs and spoke again: "In the Emperor's heart, I have long been a vicious woman. The affection he once had for me is gone."
The nanny advised, "Your Majesty, even if Concubine Xu is favored, she cannot surpass you. You are the Queen after all. When she sees you, she must pay her respects and be under your control."
"You don't have to mind her. She is still young and beautiful now. When she grows old and loses her beauty, the Emperor will no longer be obsessed with her."
"You have been with the emperor for many years, and the emperor still values you."
The nanny looked at the sad queen and sighed in her heart.
She watched the Queen grow up and saw her fall deeper and deeper in love with the Emperor.
She often advised the Queen to be more open-minded. As the Queen, she had to take concubines for the Emperor and watched the Emperor's new favorites increase in number.
She should relax and not take the emperor too seriously. The most important thing is to hold power in her hands.
The emperor has no children. No matter how many concubines he has, as long as the queen does not do anything wrong, she will not have to worry about anything in her life.
The queen couldn't hear anything. The emperor's affectionate eyes kept flashing in her mind, making her crazy with jealousy.
——
"Why is Your Majesty here?" Xu Jinyi spoke softly, staring at the emperor with shining eyes.
"I'm worried that you're weak-willed and might get bullied. If you don't want to come and pay your respects in the future, then don't come."
The emperor felt guilty towards Xu Jinyi for not punishing the queen for what happened yesterday.
Even if she was exempted from paying her respects every day, the Queen would have no objection.
"Really?" Xu Jinyi didn't expect the emperor to be so nice to her. She thought he was just attracted to her face.
"nature."
"Your Majesty, you are so kind to me. I just wonder if the Queen will..."
"I will take care of it."
Being a woman in the harem is so miserable. With the memories of her previous life, Xu Jinyi knows that the queen's love for the emperor is true.
But what about the emperor? He found a new love and forgot the old one.
In the harem, whoever is favored is in power, and they will flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.
The two of them sat in their respective sedan chairs before the emperor spoke: "You can use this sedan chair when you travel in the future. I ordered it to be made for you."
Xu Jinyi was somewhat flattered, with a look of emotion in his eyes: "Your Majesty, this is against the rules."
"I am the rule."
The emperor had already made up his mind that since he was destined to have no offspring, he would live the rest of his life as he pleased.
He will pamper whoever he likes and never let her suffer any injustice.
In the past, in order to have offspring, he had to favor concubines one by one, even if he didn't like them.
In the days that followed, he wanted to live his life as he pleased.
Staring at Xu Jinyi beside him, the emperor's eyes were filled with strong and unbreakable tenderness.
Of course the emperor wanted to be with Xu Jinyi, but there were a lot of memorials piled up in the Qinzheng Hall that needed to be reviewed, and he couldn't spare the time.
He simply brought Xu Jinyi to the Qinzheng Hall as well.
As soon as he stepped into the Qinzheng Hall, a cool breeze hit his face, making Xu Jinyi close his eyes in comfort.
The air outside is stuffy, but when you come in, it feels completely different.
