Chapter 15 Don't do it, I won't be angry
Pei Yan's usually calm eyes were still calm at this moment, but for some reason, Jiang Shuyi always felt that there were waves hidden underneath.
She felt more and more guilty as she was being stared at, so she went over to hug Pei Yan, and luckily she was not pushed away.
"I know I was wrong. I am sorry, Your Majesty. I will not dare to do it again..."
Pei Yan felt the softness against him, listened to her admitting her mistakes in panic, closed his eyes, and calmed down a little.
Why are you really angry?
He knew that people in the harem had different thoughts. Although Jiang Shuyi was a little different, she was not raised by him after all, so it was normal for her to have some thoughts and plans that he didn't know about.
Maybe it was because Jiang Shuyi always loved to hug him and cry after that dream, and her eyes always looked at him with deep dependence, or maybe it was because she just called him "brother-in-law" in a light-hearted and playful way, as if she had never thought that he would punish her...
In short, Pei Yan had a vague illusion that Jiang Shuyi should be like this, trusting and relying on him wholeheartedly without any reservation.
But since he is on the throne, how could anyone dare to be completely and unobstructed and belong to him alone?
We can’t blame Jiang Shuyi entirely.
Pei Yan restrained his expression, gently stroked the back of the person in his arms, and asked: "Do you really know that you are wrong?"
Jiang Shuyi nodded repeatedly in his arms, sobbing: "Really..."
Pei Yan softened his voice: "Then get up."
His attitude changed so quickly that Jiang Shuyi was a little slow to react.
She raised her head, her nose red from crying, and looked at Pei Yan blankly, whispering: "Your Majesty, are you not angry with me anymore?"
Pei Yan smiled: "Don't do it again, and I won't be angry anymore."
What crime did you commit? Did you hide it and deceive him?
How could Jiang Shuyi not commit the crime? Not to mention that she was hiding the fact of her rebirth, just take the plan she had just made with Miao Zhaoyi, could she tell Pei Yan about that?
Jiang Shuyi didn't answer. She pressed Pei Yan's knees and stood up. Her eyes were red. She looked at him pitifully and asked in a low voice: "Can I sit on your majesty?"
Pei Yan felt that she was very good at taking advantage of him, and seeing that he was no longer angry, she wanted to take over.
Fortunately, he was sensible enough to ask if it was okay to overstep his authority.
Pei Yan thought for a moment, then removed his hand from his knee and looked at her with a smile.
Jiang Shuyi's eyes suddenly brightened, tears still hung on her eyelashes, but she was happy again.
She happily sat in Pei Yan's arms, put her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I like Your Majesty the most. Even though Your Majesty was so mean to me just now, I still like you." Pei Yan's smile froze, and he felt the soft body leaning on him like a little animal, and he was a little dazed.
"Your Majesty, can you also say that you like me? I am a little scared of being scolded, and I am afraid that Your Majesty will be tired of me and don't want me anymore..."
How could I not want that?
But Pei Yan couldn't say such frivolous words.
Jiang Shuyi was still making a fuss. Pei Yan sighed softly, picked her up and walked behind the beaded curtain...

Xianfu Palace.
When Concubine Xue heard the decree from the eunuch in front of the emperor, she almost couldn't hide the gentle expression on her face.
What does it mean that if Jiang Wanqing is not managed well, she will be guilty as well?
Jiang Wanqing just entered the palace yesterday, and I have only been her mistress for one day. How can I manage her?
What does Jiang Shuyi’s elder sister do for a living?
However, she did not dare to express these complaints. She politely sent away the people in front of the emperor and immediately led the palace servants to the west hall.
In the bedroom, Jiang Wanqing had been carried to the bed, but her eyes were still closed and she looked like she hadn't woken up yet.
Concubine Xue Shu forced herself to hold back her anger, frowned and asked the maid standing beside her: "Your master is in this state, why don't you go and ask for the imperial physician?"
Liuli had a hard time speaking out her feelings, as she naturally saw that her master was pretending to be unconscious.
"Your Majesty, I will go and invite you..."
These words were spoken for the master to hear. Sure enough, Jiang Wanqing suddenly moved her fingers and then slowly woke up.
"W-where am I..."
Jiang Wanqing opened her eyes and looked around blankly. When she saw Concubine Xue Shu, she quickly struggled to sit up and said, "Madam Shufei, why are you here?"
Concubine Xue Shu: ...
I've never seen anyone do this.
She put on a gentle smile and walked forward: "Sister, have you forgotten? You fainted in Zhaoyang Palace just now, and it was His Majesty who ordered someone to send you back."
Jiang Wanqing looked as if she had just remembered something. She sat there in a daze with lifeless eyes.
Concubine Xue Shu sat down beside the bed and pretended to be curious: "Sister, what did you do to make His Majesty demote you and fine you, and even scold me?"
Jiang Wanqing's expression suddenly turned ugly.
What happened just now was like a nightmare, and she didn't want to mention it at all.
However, Concubine Xue Shu kept staring at her with concern. Jiang Wanqing could only bite the bullet and squeeze out two tears: "I, I don't know either... I just wanted to see my sister today, but I happened to meet His Majesty. His Majesty must still be angry about Qiu Da Ying's matter. In his anger, my sister pushed me out and let His Majesty punish her to vent her anger..."
Concubine Xue Shu had already heard the whole story from the eunuchs in front of the emperor. Facing Jiang Wanqing's distortion of right and wrong, she just pretended to listen and said in surprise, "How could this be? I always thought that you and Concubine Jiang were born of the same mother and had a deep sisterly love."
Jiang Wanqing didn’t understand either!
Where did that sister who always responded to her requests and took care of her go?
Jiang Wanqing lowered her head, clenched her fists and whispered: "Sister was not like this before. Perhaps it's because she became a favorite concubine. People's hearts are fickle. Only I still remember the kindness we showed each other when we were young..."
Concubine Xue was originally a little wary, fearing that the two Jiang sisters were pretending to be at odds, but were actually preparing to join forces to do something. But now, looking at Jiang Wanqing's appearance, the hatred and stupidity in her eyes were almost emerging. She didn't look like a person with any plans at all.
This is really hating my sister.
She could hardly hold back her laughter, patted Jiang Wanqing's hand, and said earnestly, "It's not Concubine Jiang's fault. I'm a mother like her, so I know that once you become a mother, your mindset is different from before. You always put your child first in everything you do."
Jiang Wanqing naturally knew that little nephew.
Your Majesty has few children. He has no princesses, only two princes.
One is the eldest prince born to the Concubine Shu in the Eastern Palace. The late emperor loved this grandson very much and personally named him Pei Yi. The other is the little prince born to his elder sister not long ago. Your Majesty discussed with the Ministry of Rites to name him Pei Yu.
Jiang Wanqing originally thought that she would be able to see her little nephew on the first day she entered the palace, but as things change, she still hasn't seen him until now.
It’s just that my sister doesn’t get close to me, what does it have to do with my little nephew?
Seeing Jiang Wanqing's puzzled look, Concubine Xue smiled and said, "For a mother, who can be closer to her child than her own? Not even her own sister. You are young and beautiful. Since you have entered the palace, you will be favored and have an heir sooner or later. How can Concubine Jiang feel comfortable? You should listen to my advice. The concubines in the six palaces are all sisters. Just find someone with a similar temperament to you and stop thinking about your blood sister."
After Jiang Wanqing heard what Concubine Shu said, an idea flashed through her mind almost instantly.
If I get rid of my nephew, will my sister treat me the same as before?
But this thought only lasted a moment.
Killing the prince is a capital crime, and she is not tired of living.
Concubine Shu was right. My elder sister was favored. I looked similar to her and was still young. It was only a matter of time before I was favored.
Today, I was reckless and made His Majesty angry, but so what? Once she pretended to faint, His Majesty softened his heart, right?
From sentencing her to death to demoting her and reducing her salary, it can be seen that His Majesty deeply sympathizes with her.
After a few days when his anger has subsided, he will naturally summon her to his bed.
The most important thing right now is to find a way to win over the emperor's heart on the day of the emperor's sleepover.
When she becomes the favorite concubine, why would she bother to endure the disgust and curry favor with Jiang Shuyi!
