What's particularly ridiculous is that the reason the emperor treats him so openly is because the villain is in poor health. As far as everyone is concerned, the villain can never become the emperor, so no matter how good the emperor is to him, no one else will deliberately target the villain.
…
When Wan Ge arrived, she was only eight years old, a year younger than the male lead, female lead, and villain.
At this moment, the romantic relationship between the male and female protagonists has not yet begun.
If Wan Ge could have stopped the female lead from helping the male lead and prevented them from meeting in their youth, perhaps the male lead's obsession wouldn't have been so deep.
"What is Xiao Wange thinking about?" The Empress Dowager asked with a smile, pulling Wange to her side.
The Empress Dowager and the original owner's grandmother were childhood friends, as close as sisters. It's a pity that the grandmother passed away so early, otherwise the Empress Dowager might have had someone to keep her company.
The grandmother only gave birth to one boy, who was the original owner's father. The original owner had no other sisters, only one brother, so she became the Empress Dowager's favorite girl and could freely enter and leave the palace.
It was precisely because of this that the original owner met the Crown Prince in the palace and continued to like him.
Wan Ge gently shook her head, and the Empress Dowager had someone bring out the osmanthus cake: "I had your favorite osmanthus cake made, come and try it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager." Wan Ge bowed obediently again.
The Empress Dowager patted her head: "You don't need to be so polite with me. You can call me Grandmother, it's fine."
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince has arrived." The Third Prince is the minor villain; the Crown Prince is the Second Prince, and they also have an older sister.
However, the eldest princess's mother's family had committed a crime, and her mother had been banished to the cold palace, so the eldest princess was no longer valued.
"Let him in," the Empress Dowager said indifferently, showing neither joy nor dislike.
However, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and Consort Ling was particularly delicate and did not seem to be very good.
That's probably why I don't really like even the minor villains.
"Greetings, Grandmother." Feng Xunxi bowed obediently. It was snowing outside when he arrived, and although the palace maids held an umbrella for him, the fur-trimmed cloak he was wearing was still covered in snowflakes.
"Rise," the Empress Dowager said calmly, and then offered seats to the guests.
As Feng Xunxi sat down obediently, a girl of similar age stood in front of him and reached out to brush the snowflakes off his clothes.
Feng Xunxi's beautiful eyes were fixed on Wan Ge in front of her, and for a moment, it felt as if time had stopped.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Wan Ge bowed to him and smiled.
"Wange, come here." Before Feng Xunxi could speak, the Empress Dowager called Wange over again.
Feng Xunxi also quickly concealed his thoughts.
The Empress Dowager gently stroked Wan Ge's head, glancing at Feng Xunxi without leaving a trace, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes.
She disliked Feng Xunxi, not just because she disliked his mother, but because she would not dislike her grandson for that reason.
It was because she felt that although Feng Xunxi was in poor health, he was very shrewd, even though he was only eight years old at the time.
But his shrewdness was definitely not something an eight-year-old should possess; it's unclear who taught him. He appeared innocent, but was completely different in reality, which is why she disliked him. However, since he was her grandson, the Empress Dowager wouldn't do anything to him.
Feng Xunxi sensed it, but he didn't say anything and remained obedient.
