The emperor smiled again and said, "It doesn't matter."
Because it’s not important, it doesn’t matter.
He even wanted to thank the child for pushing the queen.
It’s better to have it now than at any other time.
Concubine Song is not important, and neither are the other people in the harem.
They were destined to be the emperor's concubines, but they were not Chu Zhonglin's before.
He smiled a little foolishly, "Jiang Jieyu, are you happy now?"
Jiang Yi was indeed a little happy in her heart, but she was stubborn and said, "What's the point of being happy or not? I just know that I'm very tired now."
She then changed the subject and said, "Brother Zhonglin, since I've worked so hard, please promise me one thing."
She smiled and put her arms around the man's neck, turning back into the sweet-mouthed but treacherous Concubine Jiang she used to be.
"Brother Zhonglin, please arrange for me to meet with my husband and Song Yu again during the Queen Mother's birthday banquet later."
The emperor's face suddenly turned bad.
He sniffed the woman's neck lightly, "Let me smell it, are you aroused again? Is it because I can't satisfy you?"
"That's not it." She explained to the emperor with a smile, "You should have found out by now. I came to the capital to find..."
"What are you looking for? My husband. Look, I'm right beside you, aren't I?" He said, still a little drunk. "I'm here, why would I be looking for a consort?"
As he said this, Jiang Yi felt that the man seemed to be driven to get up again.
She pushed him away and said, "Let's talk business. The Emperor knows everything. Don't you want me to meet them?"
The man seemed to be deflated as he covered her.
The effects of the alcohol seemed to disappear all of a sudden, and he began to look at Jiang Yi carefully.
He suddenly felt that Concubine Jiang was very mysterious.
It was as if she knew everything about him.
This kind of knowledge was different from what he knew after investigating her.
It was as if she came here specifically to help him.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he still said, "No."
"Why?" Jiang Yi asked her in surprise.
"Because you are my woman, I cannot allow my woman to see her ex-fiancé again."
"I can't send you to another man with my own hands."
Even though he knew that doing so would be good for him, he couldn't do it.
He included her among his own.
The emperor continued, "You can plan everything I want on your own, even if it takes time. I know what you want to do. Do you want revenge?"
"Then wait for me. I'll send him to you later so you can slap him in the face, okay?"
He seemed willing to negotiate, but his tone was firm.
He added, "Although I know that Concubine Jiang may not be sincere to me, I am somewhat moved by Jiang Yi. I think we can try to get along slowly."
He didn't have a very good temper, but he still spoke to Jiang Yi in a kind manner, then looked up at her with expectation.
The man's analysis of his inner thoughts came so quickly that it caught Jiang Yi off guard.
She hugged the man's waist and said, "Okay."
From then on, the emperor came to her almost every night.
Jiang Yi discovered that when the emperor was indifferent, he was truly indifferent, but he also truly lacked love.
That's why he felt such a moment of tenderness towards a woman like her who had no family but threw herself into his arms, and even wanted to get along well with her.
She also knew that the emperor had never touched any of his concubines, and he had endured this for three years.
Looking at the man who stayed by her side every night, Jiang Yi felt a little distressed from the bottom of her heart.
This man was even more miserable than her. At least her life had been smooth sailing for the first ten years or so. Her mother treated her well enough, and she seemed to be living in a honey pot.
Just because her mother passed away, her life had such a huge gap.
But the emperor was not like that. He had never had a good day since he was a child. Instead, he had to bear burdens that did not belong to him. His life was very difficult.
However, even though the emperor lived such a difficult life, he refused the shortcut because of her when he knew there was one.
With such a character in such a bad environment, it is no wonder that the emperor will be the final winner.
Jiang Yi also knew that if she waited for him, perhaps she could wait for such a day to come, but it was only a possibility.
She relied on her mother for the first ten years of her life, but when her mother passed away, she was devastated and left with nothing.
It would be nice to be a protected dodder, but Jiang Yi wants to be a useful person.
Besides, she couldn't wait that long.
The emperor didn't know what Jiang Yi was thinking, he was just trying to be nice to Jiang Yi.
He had never liked anyone before, so he seemed a little clumsy. He would just bring her some fun or delicious food when he saw it. When they were together, he would be more considerate of her feelings and would take the initiative to take care of her.
Jiang Yi was used to being taken care of since she was a child, so she accepted it very easily. She could make the man smile by sweetly calling him "Brother Zhonglin".
Soon, the birthday of my mother, the Empress Dowager, arrived.
When this empress dowager, who came from a noble family, became the empress, she held the late emperor firmly in her hands. She herself was not pregnant, and she did not allow the concubines in the harem to be pregnant. She would even force a concubine who accidentally became pregnant to drink a bowl of medicine and abort the child.
For more than thirty years, she had been favored by the emperor, but she had never imagined that she would never have a male heir in her entire life. In the end, she could only find the son of a prostitute who was living in a brothel and make him emperor.
However, despite this, with the Song family here, the majesty of the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager will only be greater.
Naturally, she would have to spend most of the money on her birthday party.
My mother, the Empress Dowager, likes lively occasions, so on this day half of the ministers in the court came with their wives and children as promised.
The queen was also looking forward to her mother.
Although Queen Song was the mistress of the harem, after entering the palace, she could no longer see Madam Song at any time as before.
Because of the gradual estrangement between mother and daughter, Queen Song had not sent anyone to convey a message to Madam Song for a long time.
The poison in Empress Song's body was still there, but she forced herself to stay healthy and celebrate her mother, the Empress Dowager's birthday.
She waited until the singing and dancing were in full swing before she asked someone to call Madam Song over.
The mother and daughter, who had not seen each other for many days, should have been showing affection, but Mrs. Song had a face full of resentment when she saw Queen Song.
Madam Song had just entered the Fengluan Palace when she said to Queen Song, "You have truly disappointed mother recently."
