"I dare not."
Concubine Xian still lowered her head indifferently, "It's just that considering that the emperor is busy with many things every day, and he just took care of my daughter for me, I really don't dare to expect more."
"Then I won't stay overnight."
The tyrant spoke calmly, but in reality, he was furious. Humph, it's okay for that little brat to swear all day long, but the key is that he can't get angry.
But facing Concubine Xian's indifference, he couldn't get angry. After all, being angry meant that she cared about him. In the harem, how could the emperor care about a concubine?
However, did Empress Xian really not keep her?
He walked a long way away and was sure that Concubine Xian really did not want to keep him. He was so angry that he ate an extra bowl of rice after returning to the palace.
After all, I usually only eat one bowl, but today I ate two bowls for the first time!

When Xia Xiao woke up from her late sleep, she saw a strong woman who lifted her clothes and said, "Little princess, you must be hungry. Come, let me feed you some milk."
Wanwan swallowed her saliva. This thing was really terrible. But if she didn't eat it, she would die before she could cultivate to the point where she could protect herself.
But when it came to eating, she really couldn't bring herself to eat the strange woman.
[Mom, help! I don’t like her milk…]
Empress Xian, who was embroidering nearby, heard the cry for help and looked over. She saw Xia Xiaowan struggling desperately in the nurse's arms. Her heart ached immediately.
"Hold me here, I'll feed you myself."
Empress Xian walked over with a distressed look on her face and personally held Wanwan in her arms.
"Your Highness, this won't do. Your breasts will sag. Then, what will you use to win your favor?"
Tingyu, the maidservant beside Concubine Xian, said.
Concubine Xian smiled softly and gently lifted her clothes. Wanwan was a little too hungry to bear it, so she gently took it in her mouth. The sweet milk made her less disgusted with breast milk.
"Ahem..." Concubine Xian's pale face was filled with satisfaction. She coughed twice, fearing that she would disturb Wanwan who was drinking milk.
After a while, when Wanwan was full and didn't feel like drinking anymore, she looked up and smiled, "What's the point of vying for favor? I really don't have those thoughts now. Ever since Wanwan was born, I just wanted to be with her and let her grow up well. So what if I still compete? In the end, didn't I almost lose my own daughter?"
Empress Xian frowned and said, "I won't argue anymore. As long as my daughter is by my side, I will be happier than anything else."
"That's it, mother. Don't worry, once I make enough money, I'll secretly take you out of the palace. Let this scumbag father live alone, and let her slowly feel guilty."
[Life is only a few decades long, and all of it is wasted in this palace. How boring it is.]
Empress Xian stared at Wanwan, who was sucking contentedly while having evil thoughts in her mind.
She couldn't help but smile. It felt so good to have the voice of her heart heard by only her.
Yes, it is really boring to spend the short decades of life in such a palace.
However, she was burdened with the mission of her family. Not to mention that she couldn't escape from the palace, even if she could, where could she go?
All under heaven belongs to the king.
Empress Xian stared at Wanwan, but fortunately, with this child around, even being born in hell would become extraordinarily interesting.
"Your Majesty, tell me... what exactly did the Marshal go through on the battlefield? If he doesn't come back, I don't know how the Yang family will be redressed. After all, so many members of the Yang family are still under house arrest."
"Someone must have exaggerated the story. My father would never commit treason."
Empress Xian's eyes revealed a kind of hatred, "Those who hide in the court, flattering and fawning. In fact, they do nothing but stir up trouble. As long as I am not dead, one day, I will make them pay the price."
"Well done, mother. This is the true scion of a military family. I really want to tell you, mother, that it was the Minister of Revenue's family who exaggerated things in front of my scumbag father. Actually, the military secret report only stated that we retreated to defend the city. We didn't surrender to the enemy at all. Although we lost three cities in a row, you can trust that Grandpa will definitely retake them."
[Not only that, they also planned to support Concubine Liu's son after destroying the Yang family.]
So, this is how it all works.
After eating two bowls of rice, the tyrant came back again with nowhere else to go, but this time he finally heard what he wanted to hear.
It seems that he has been cursed for so long that the country is in ruins.
The tyrant looked at Xia Xiaowan and Concubine Xian, and slowly walked in. Unconsciously, except for the Yang family's foundation, the whole country was filled with...
The families of the Minister of Revenue and the Prime Minister also had a private marriage relationship, and 50% of the positions in the court were held by people with the surname Liu or Yuan.
There are still 40% with the surname Yang, and the remaining 10% have no strength, but they are working hard, but they are basically buried.
Empress Xian turned around and saw the tyrant standing beside her.
"Your Majesty, are you not busy today?"
Empress Xian was surprised and didn't want this guy to come back.
"You really want me to be busy?"
The tyrant was furious when he heard this. It was obvious that he did not welcome her.
"No, the emperor should treat everyone equally."
Concubine Xian was still angry, and since she was still in confinement after giving birth, she said, "I am still in confinement after giving birth, so it is not suitable for me."
"It's okay, I just want to accompany my beloved concubine."
The tyrant felt that this was the most shameless time in his life. After driving people away countless times, he still stayed here shamelessly.
[Go away, scumbag dad! Don't disturb me and my mother when we're alone together.]
Wanwan rolled her eyes in disdain, but her face remained that harmless and cute expression. She stared at the tyrant with a strong desire to survive.
Go away?
The tyrant was very angry and approached Wanwan with a cold face. But the next second, seeing Wanwan's cute face, he rubbed her head resignedly.
"This girl is a natural beauty. It's up to you."
When he praised someone, it seemed like he was really gritting his teeth and speaking through gaps between his teeth.
Wanwan was trembling all over, and the eunuch next to him rolled his eyes. The saying "the emperor's heart is hard to predict" really made him see through it.
Wanwan despised him in her heart. What was this scumbag father doing so late at night?
"This is for Wanwan."
The tyrant took out a golden, large longevity lock from the hand of a nearby palace maid and placed it in Wanwan's hand.
this……
[This... gold lock is so big, it must weigh half a pound. Humph, even if it is so, I will not forgive you.]
Although Wanwan wanted to defend herself, she couldn't help but drool. The baby, who was not even a month old, subconsciously touched the gold lock. Then she grabbed it tightly in her hands and finally held it with both hands.
