The imperial heir is an extremely important figure, but Liu Jue's fate was truly terrible.
His birth mother being favored by the emperor was an exception. If she were an ordinary palace maid, it would be fine, but before the emperor, this palace maid had already been violated by a drunken prince.
The prince forgot about her after sleeping with her, and the palace maid dared not make a sound. Later, she was favored by the emperor, also after he was drunk.
When the people who came to check saw that she was not a virgin, they immediately reported it.
At that time, the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, and in order to pray for her well-being, no living beings were killed in the palace, so this palace maid barely survived.
But she was too unfortunate; she got pregnant on her first try.
Upon learning that she was pregnant, the emperor felt extremely unlucky.
Even tigers don't eat their cubs, and since he didn't have many children, he reluctantly let her give birth.
Unfortunately, when she was giving birth, the emperor had acquired several new favorite concubines and had long forgotten about her.
Even the imperial physician didn't attend the delivery, because one of the favored concubines vomited after eating a dish.
Several palace maids and eunuchs in charge were forced to deliver her baby, but she died in childbirth and hardly anyone remembered her.
Liu Jue was left behind, growing up with many stumbles and setbacks, and was disliked by the emperor.
It's quite remarkable that he didn't become overly gloomy or resentful.
But he is not the kind of person who can be moved by false warmth.
A person who encounters too many setbacks often becomes more outstanding with each setback.
Liu Jue never got stuck in a dead end and lived a leisurely life every day.
But if he could gain Jiang Tian's sympathy and have her spend more time with him, he would be more than happy to do so.
Liu Jue celebrated his birthday at Jiang Tian's estate, where it was just the two of them, and they could do whatever they wanted.
After eating longevity noodles, the two held hands and looked at the moon. After looking at the moon, they went boating on the lake.
Jiang Tian went all out this time, hanging colorful lights all around the lake, making the entire lake look dazzling.
The two were on a boat, the lake surface shimmered, the distant lights were enchanting, and the moonlight was gentle.
The two people in the boat, without any effort, reached their peak as the small boat rocked...
"You have such a clever idea, Qingqing. This time, I didn't have to put in much effort."
Liu Jue is the kind of person who gets the benefits but then pretends to be innocent. He's the one who enjoys it the most every time, while he's the one complaining about being tired.
Jiang Tian was already used to his pretense. Seeing a trace of lingering spring in his eyes, she couldn't help but say, "Beauty is alluring."
If we're really talking about looks, Liu Jue is clearly the more outstanding one.
His radiance is unmatched by anyone in the world.
So even if he weren't the emperor, there must have been many women who wanted to spend time with him.
Unfortunately, he was very picky; in over twenty years, only Jiang Tian caught his eye.
Fortunately, Jiang Tian did not let him down, leaving many unforgettable memories in his otherwise dull life.
After the passion fades, only tenderness remains.
Liu Jue held Jiang Tian in his arms, refusing to let her put on clothes, claiming that the two of them should be honest with each other and embrace in the most authentic way.
After hearing his nonsense so many times, I got used to it.
The boat was still gently swaying, and they hugged each other, sharing many heartfelt words.
Liu Jue was very good at embellishing his memories. He said that he had lived in the cold palace as a child and was almost fighting with rats for food. But after he told the story, the rats became his friends and took the initiative to bring him food.
Jiang Tian didn't interrupt him; she listened to whatever he said while gently stroking his hair.
Liu Jue thought to himself that he seemed to have degenerated into some kind of pet, being stroked by Jiang Tian, and it actually felt pretty good.
But as he went along with it, the fire in his heart started burning again.
So he turned over, and the water rippled.
