Upon hearing Xiao Jin's question, Song Lingxi knew that jealousy was a major taboo for women.
Moreover, she did want Xiao Jin to have children, so she spoke with complete sincerity, without any guard up.
"Your Majesty, I naturally hope that the harem will be more lively. It would be good to have more sisters."
After Song Lingxi finished speaking, she waited for a long time without receiving a reply from Xiao Jin. However, a storm of kisses fell upon her, instantly engulfing all her breath.
She weakly gripped the other person's arm with her small hands, feeling the muscular muscles beneath her and the burning heat of his body, and was immediately terrified and didn't know what to do.
To Song Lingxi's even greater surprise, the man bit her lip hard, and the taste of blood spread between their mouths.
The man seemed to have become even more ruthless, causing Song Lingxi to gasp repeatedly, but she had no strength to resist.
If it was a drizzle just now, it's now a downpour!
Although Song Lingxi couldn't see the expression on Xiao Jin's face, she could tell from the force he used that Xiao Jin was in a bad mood.
"Did I... say something wrong?"
After thinking it over, only that one sentence just now could have caused Xiao Jin's attitude to change so drastically, catching everyone off guard.
Under such circumstances, Song Lingxi managed to maintain a sliver of clarity in her mind, but this sliver of clarity was quickly swallowed up by Xiao Jin, plunging her into complete chaos.
"You really want me to have other women? Song Lingxi, do you even have a heart? Can't you see how I feel about you?"
Xiao Jin accused the other party, his eyes bloodshot and his face full of grief. If Song Lingxi could open her eyes and see, she would definitely regret what she had just said.
But it was too late. Under the man's fierce onslaught, Song Lingxi's mind was a complete mess, and she was unable to think at all. She could only utter some meaningless monosyllabic sounds.
Xiao Jin was not satisfied; in fact, he felt even more empty inside. He had originally taken Song Linxi by force, and he was already uneasy about it.
Now, he has personally learned from Song Lingxi that she is hoping he will take a concubine. No matter how you look at it, you can't hide the fact that she is looking forward to him taking a concubine.
That is, Song Lingxi doesn't care about him, the emperor, at all; she doesn't care about herself!
No matter how many concubines or confidantes he had, this woman could accept them all.
But clearly, when she heard that Xie Changling was going to get married again, the grief on her face was still so obvious that it couldn't be faked.
Now, she doesn't even bother pretending anymore, even when she's with me?
Xiao Jin's heart was bleeding, and he was exceptionally rough and unrestrained. Finally, Song Lingxi couldn't take it anymore and fainted.
"emperor……"
Xiao Jin untied the restraints binding her eyes, gently kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and stroked her face with trembling hands. Sure enough, he softened once again.
He couldn't resist Song Lingxi's beauty, especially her eyes, which made him feel unlike himself. He always wanted to stick to her and make her see and feel that he was the only one in her eyes and heart.
But this time, even though he didn't see Song Lingxi's eyes, he still lost control. The exhilaration he felt was unparalleled.
Just moments ago, I was furious and somewhat irrational, but now I'm reluctant to let go, wishing we could stay together all the time, and my anger has subsided.
Xiao Jin couldn't help but think that every time he saw her sweet and gentle face, he would forgive her unconditionally, even if it meant giving up his own life. Was that right?
Should we keep her?
Xiao Jin wondered why there were people in the world whom he both loved and hated, and whom he couldn't let go of at all.
He gazed at Song Lingxi silently for a long time, then sighed softly, pulled her into his arms, kissed her cheek, and called out.
"Someone, bring water!"
Busy sounds began to rise outside the door. Soon, Liu Hong and Liu Lü carried water back and forth to the back hall. Finally, the noise stopped, and there was a knock on the door.
"Your Majesty, the water is ready. May I enter the palace to serve you?"
This is Liu Hong's voice. From now on, she will be Song Lingxi's personal maid. These close-serving tasks should all be handed over to them.
Surprisingly, Xiao Jin had no intention of letting go, even with palace maids, he was still very concerned: "No need, you may all leave."
...
And so, the two remained awkwardly at odds, and this atmosphere continued until a month later, on the day of Xie Changling's wedding.
The prime minister has not yet returned, so there are fewer guests than last time.
The Imperial Palace.
Phoenix Palace.
Xiao Jin was bent over his desk, reading official documents, while behind him was Song Lingxi, who was still asleep on the bed. Her little face was sleeping sweetly, which made people feel at ease.
Strangely enough, Xiao Jin's face was always cold, and these past few days he had been even more gloomy when he went to court, scaring the court officials so much that they didn't dare to breathe and secretly complained.
But every night, Xiao Jin would go to Fengyi Palace without fail, and he wouldn't stop until late at night, always making people dizzy before stopping.
I forgot to mention that at Song Lingxi's investiture ceremony as a Noble Consort, Xiao Jin ordered a grand celebration. Even though they should have moved out of Fengyi Palace, no one dared to bring it up.
The Empress Dowager didn't complain at all, and seemed to let things take their course. She watched the young couple bickering but didn't interfere. Instead, she rewarded them with many fine things and sent them to Fengyi Palace.
Of course, Xiao Jin moved all these good things into his private treasury, fearing that his mother might be confused and bring back some contraceptives.
He ordered his men to secretly inspect these items and found that many of them were indeed contraceptives. Long-term use could cause women to become infertile. Xiao Jin made a note of this without making a sound and replaced them with similar ones that were displayed openly.
