Xu Lingyi was surprised. Wasn't she just testing the emperor's bottom line towards her?
She wanted to see how far the emperor would go to treat the prince for her, which would also determine how she would act after entering the palace.
But she never expected that the emperor would torture the prince into a human pig, and was even worried that she would feel guilty.
Only at this moment did Xu Lingyi truly face the emperor's feelings for her.
Even though he died as Lai Fu to save her, he was just a dog at that time and she didn't feel any real sense of it.
But now the person in front of her is a real person, the ruler of the world, the supreme ruler.
Only then did Xu Lingyi truly realize that the emperor liked her to the point of obsession.
He is like the kings of old who were foolish because of beauty.
Xu Lingyi's mouth curled up in her heart. This was a good thing for her. The more the emperor liked her, the better it would be for her.
But Xu Lingyi couldn't help feeling a little melancholy and regretful. It was a pity that she didn't meet him in her previous life.
In her previous life, she was toyed with time and time again, but no one was sincere to her.
She no longer needs sincerity in this life, and only needs pretense, but the emperor is so obsessed with her.
Xu Lingyi sneered in her heart, but perhaps the emperor liked her mask.
In her previous life, she was indeed simple, innocent and kind.
But in this life... she is a demon that crawled out of hell.
In order to get revenge, she would even sell herself out.
If he knew how bad and vicious she really was, he would probably abandon her like those men.
"Yier, I plan to make you the Imperial Noble Consort first."
The emperor kissed her forehead and said apologetically, "Although I prefer you to be the empress, I cannot arbitrarily depose her and make you the queen."
The emperor felt a little uncomfortable. He had boasted about Haikou in front of Xu Lingyi before, but he had meant what he said at that time.
"From the moment I wanted you, I didn't care about my reputation. But I'm afraid everyone will curse you. My mother and the court officials may not attack me for being incompetent, but they will say you're causing trouble for the emperor."
"So, after much deliberation, I have decided to confer you the title of Imperial Noble Consort. While there may be some controversy among the court officials, the Imperial Noble Consort is not the Empress after all. As long as the Empress's position remains unchanged, their protests will not be too radical, and I will definitely be able to suppress them."
Xu Lingyi didn't care about her position. After all, she had the fertility pill in her hand, and she would be promoted sooner or later.
But it would be better if the emperor was willing to give her a high position.
Xu Lingyi feigned a shake of her head and refused, "Your Majesty, I only wish to be a concubine of the lowest rank. It is a great favor from Your Majesty that I, with my humble status, can enter the palace. How could I possibly deserve to be an Imperial Noble Consort?"
The emperor covered her mouth with his big hand and said, "I don't allow you to say such self-deprecating words. In my heart, you are the best woman. The position of Imperial Concubine is already a shame to me. This is the lowest bottom line."
"But do you want to enter the palace with your original identity, or do you want a new identity?"
Of course she wanted her own identity, and she didn't want to change her name, which had been with her for two lifetimes.
"If I don't change my identity, will it embarrass Your Majesty? Will it affect Your Majesty's wisdom?"
Xu Lingyi spoke softly, her tone nervous.
The emperor held her slender white hand. Her hand was also so soft and boneless, completely different from his hand.
The emperor shook his head firmly. "No, I don't care about these so-called reputations. As long as I am still on the throne, they won't dare to act presumptuously or make comments. What does my reputation after death have to do with me? I can't hear about it."
I used to care about her, but since I started liking her, I don’t care anymore.
The emperor also didn't want to fabricate an identity for her.
I just want to like her openly.
"Shen Qinghuai will be able to return to Beijing in two days." The emperor suddenly changed the subject.
Xu Lingyi pretended to be stunned and at a loss.
"I disliked him before and wanted to transfer him out of the capital, but then the entire Li family was executed. Shen Qinghuai heard the news and applied to return to the capital on the grounds that his mother was ill. I thought that you and he had not signed the divorce agreement, so I agreed."
In fact, even if Shen Qinghuai did not take the initiative to ask to return to Beijing, the emperor would find an excuse to let him come back.
He would not allow his beloved woman to be Shen Qinghuai's wife in name only.
He wished he could make Xu Lingyi sign the divorce papers tomorrow.
Xu Lingyi was also looking forward to Shen Qinghuai's return to Beijing, she was even more looking forward to it than the emperor.
In her previous life, she signed a divorce agreement in name, but in reality, she was divorced by Shen Qinghuai.
She could not forget his ruthlessness and disgust towards her.
It was also he who pushed her into the prince's arms, starting her subsequent nightmare.
Even when he saw that she was pregnant with the prince's child, he looked at her with complete contempt and disdain.
He saved her life, but she would rather die in the lake than experience the terrible things in her previous life.
In front of Shen Qinghuai, she would always feel that she was lowly and as if she was something that could not be seen in public.
After all, even her husband despises her so much.
In this life, she was the one who dumped Shen Qinghuai. Xu Lingyi was looking forward to seeing him return to Beijing and see her with the emperor, and what he would think.
I guess his pride as a man would not be able to bear it.
The emperor held Xu Lingyi and comforted her for a long time, and fed her personally.
When Wang Bao saw this, he wished he could go blind.
The emperor no longer had the image of a king in front of this Madam Shen.
When Wang Bao came out, he saw Yingqiu and Yingdong squatting at the door.
"You two are really lucky. Not only do you have a good master, you no longer have to be a secret guard. This man has a bright future in the future. As maids, your status will also rise. In the future, young ladies, don't forget to protect me."
