The emperor clenched his fist and coughed twice before coming back to his senses. He forced himself to look away from her.
"No need to be so polite."
The emperor suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.
He pretended to be calm and spoke to Shen Qinghuai with a smile: "Mr. Shen, why didn't you tell me that your new wife is so beautiful? I see that you rarely take her out to meet guests."
"Your Majesty, my wife is a little timid and doesn't like to go out and socialize." Shen Qinghuai said.
In fact, it was because he didn't like Xu Lingyi before, and he rarely saw her. How could he take her out to meet guests and let her become a real general's wife?
To this day, he still feels that his only true wife is his deceased wife.
Although he had a good impression of Xu Lingyi, it was still far inferior to his deceased wife.
He said in front of His Majesty that he and Xu Lingyi were a good match, and it was only because of this marriage and also for His Majesty's sake.
If Your Majesty had not asked him to save people that day, he would never have jumped into the water.
"I see that Madam is very graceful and not a timid person. Could it be that Mr. Shen is still thinking about your late wife? I have heard that Mr. Shen is deeply in love with his deceased wife and never forgets her. Is this true?"
The emperor asked deliberately.
Shen Qinghuai never thought that the emperor he admired in his heart would gossip about his private affairs.
"Yes, I knew my late wife when we were young. We were childhood sweethearts and had a great affection for each other. Unfortunately, she died in childbirth."
Speaking of his deceased wife, Shen Qinghuai felt a little pain in his heart. As time passed, her appearance gradually faded, and he could hardly even remember her face.
But he still remembers the friendship and joy of the harmonious relationship back then.
The emperor sneered in his heart. Shen Qinghuai should live with his wife's tablet and divorce Xu Lingyi as soon as possible.
