The face, even more beautiful than he remembered, made Zongzheng Shen, who was used to seeing many beauties, widen his eyes involuntarily and hold his breath for a moment.
Lu Qingyan wished she could teach Zongzheng Shen a lesson. After all, Bai Li was still Jun Jiuxian's wife. How could he stare at her like that, acting so lewdly, without any imperial demeanor?
"Prime Minister Jun truly has an eye for talent, plucking the most beautiful flower in the world in one fell swoop." Lu Qingyan's gaze shifted downwards and noticed Zongzheng Shen's unusual expression. He had even crossed his legs to conceal the strangeness in his body. At this moment, his gaze was completely focused on Bai Li, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes, making him look terrifyingly unsettling. Lu Qingyan only glanced at him before turning her face away in disgust.
No, she needed to look at Jun Jiuxian more to cleanse her eyes. At his age, still so lecherous—wasn't he worried about his health?
No one knew how Bai Li had been raised by her family. Even though she was already married, she remained innocent and naive. She possessed the purity of a young girl and the gentleness of a young woman. In addition, because it was her first time meeting the Emperor, she was inevitably a little nervous and excited. At this moment, her petite body trembled slightly, making her look like a newborn cub, so endearing. Zongzheng Shen stared at her tenderly, his gaze never leaving her face for a moment.
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for the compliment." Bai Li had a voice as captivating as Consort Li's. As soon as she finished speaking, Zongzheng Shen's eyes changed color, his gaze became even more profound, and his hands trembled slightly uncontrollably.
Yes, that's the sound. It must be his lover coming to find him.
However, looking at Jun Jiuxian sitting below, he still suppressed his joy.
"You want to request an imperial title for her?" Hua Yuanen showed no impatience, only dislike for Bai Li's current status. However, his impression of Lu Qingyan was even worse. How could someone so similar slip through his fingers? The Empress must be incompetent. Without even glancing at Lu Qingyan again, he said directly to Jun Jiuxian, "Since that's the case, then so be it."
The matter of requesting an imperial decree was thus settled, and Consort Li, who had died in the palace many years ago, became popular again. After all, the scandalous affair between Emperor Zongzheng and Consort Li had been widely circulated in the palace, and many rumors had also been heard outside the palace.
As Empress, Lu Qingyan should have stopped such rumors in time, but would she do so? Heh, she's not as foolish as the original owner of this body to clear obstacles for Zongzheng Shen and Bai Li.
Lu Qingyan still couldn't see through Jun Jiuxian. Judging from his behavior that day, he seemed to have already guessed the Emperor's reaction. But why did he still let Bai Li be the one to steal the spotlight? She was clearly his wife! Or was he also a scumbag?
The system immediately dismissed Lu Qingyan's suspicions: "Master, you can't say that about the beautiful woman. It will hurt her feelings. How could someone as beautiful as her be a scumbag?"
Lu Qingyan sneered: "If you can judge someone so easily based on their face, then you're a scumbag too!"
Lu Qingyan ordered a few things as a congratulatory gift for Bai Li, and also specially renovated the palace for the concubines. Anyway, she was not using her own money, but spending Zongzheng Shen's money, but she could gain a reputation for being virtuous. Why not?
