After spending that day together by the clear pool, although An Jingzhi didn't say anything about belief or disbelief, Yan Su could feel that his attitude towards her was gradually softening.
During lunch, the two of them ate together in An Jingzhi's palace.
An Jingzhi put down his bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth.
"I'm leaving the palace today."
Yan Su paused, then asked nonchalantly, "What's the matter?"
"I have been in the palace for half a month, right? I want to go home and see my parents."
"Okay, I'll send someone to take you back."
An Jingzhi did not refuse. He thought that if he refused, the other party would definitely turn against him and not let him leave the palace.
This woman is good in every way, except that she seems to have some psychological problems. Her possessiveness towards him is a bit abnormal and too paranoid.
However, considering the other person's birth environment, it is not surprising that he would develop such a mentality.
Yan Su's biological mother died when she was fifteen years old. After that, she moved out of the cold palace and gradually came into the sight of Emperor Yan through her own means.
An Jingzhi was the only one who was kind to her and was still alive.
A luxurious carriage stopped at the An Mansion.
When the doorman saw An Jing, he ran to report the news, "The young master is back, the young master is back!"
After hearing the noise, An's father and An's mother, Jiang, hurried over.
"son!"
Jiang hugged An Jingzhi. Ever since her son went to the palace, Jiang had been feeling very anxious and had no way to find out about his son.
Since becoming the empress's father-in-law, An's father has gained a lot of followers and has become more and more successful in the court. However, he has always been cautious in his words and deeds.
He could see that the current emperor was a wise ruler who wanted to get things done and was able to get things done, but why did he just fall for his son?
His family has been officials for generations and has always maintained the principle of keeping a low profile and never participated in any fights. His son has now become the emperor's husband and is involved in the palace. It seems that he is enjoying great glory, but who knows when his family will be in great trouble in the future.
Moreover, since ancient times, the emperor's favor has always been short-lived, regardless of gender.
"How is it? Are you okay in the palace?"
An Jingzhi smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? I can just stretch out my hand for clothes and open my mouth for food. I don't even have to go to the morning court."
An Jingzhi meant what he said. When the original owner was an official, he had to get up at four in the morning every day before dawn to attend the five o'clock morning court. If he lived far away, he had to get up at three o'clock.
But An's father and Jiang felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. They both knew that their son had always wanted to be an official in the court, climb up step by step to the position his grandfather had held, and restore the An family's former glory.
Now that he has married the empress and can only stay in the harem, he must be feeling very sad. I say this just to comfort them.
When the empress's decree came down, they saw clearly how reluctant their son was. Later, for the safety of his family, he had no choice but to agree to the marriage.
"Why……"
An's father sighed heavily. He was just a small fifth-rank official in Beijing, and the An family could not disobey the empress's order.
If his father were still alive, he might be able to handle it.
It’s a pity that although he inherited his father’s connections, his abilities were mediocre and he could only go this far.
"Jingzhi, my son, I'm sorry for wronging you."
"What's wrong with this? It's my son who's making a fuss. Back then, I wanted to rely on my own abilities to restore the former glory of our An family. Now that I've become the Empress's husband, haven't I also restored the former glory of the An family? Who dares to underestimate our An family?"
"And after spending the past few days together, my son feels that Yan Su is quite nice. Maybe I misunderstood her before. She is not as cruel as we imagined."
As he spoke, An Jingzhi also told the story of Liu Qingrong.
Although An's father had mediocre abilities, he had been an official for more than ten years.
"Hearing what you said, there must be something wrong with Liu Qingrong." Isn't it just a beauty trap? Except that the other party is the Empress, so their beauty trap was performed on the Empress's sweetheart.
Fortunately, His Majesty did not mind, otherwise his son would have been accused of colluding with the enemy country by those with ulterior motives.
Jiang was a little worried. "Son, how can you call His Majesty by his name? If anyone hears you, you will be punished for disrespect."
"It's okay, I called her that in front of her too."
"Mrs. An, Lord An, please rest assured. No one dares to punish Jingzhi." A cold and familiar voice sounded in the An family's living room.
After An Jingzhi left, Yan Su was reviewing memorials in the palace, but he couldn't concentrate on the words on them, so he simply left the palace and followed him.
She didn't want too many people to know when she came in, so she stopped the servants from informing them.
The sudden appearance of the empress startled everyone in the living room except An Jingzhi.
Jiang and An's father quickly stood up and saluted, "Greetings, Your Majesty. I didn't know you had come so far, and I was very rude not to greet you. I beg your Majesty to forgive me."
"No need to be so polite. The emperor is not here today. Just treat me as an ordinary daughter-in-law."
How could an ordinary daughter-in-law become an emperor? How could they really treat each other as ordinary daughters-in-law?
Although he thought so, he kept saying, "Yes, then I will listen to Your Majesty, ah no..."
Father An was about to address the other party, but suddenly got stuck.
If not Your Majesty, then what should he be called?
Yan Su saw the other party's dilemma and said, "Just call me Su'er."
That's what her mother used to call her.
Jiang continued, "Okay, okay, there's no Empress today, only Su'er."
"Come on, come on, sit down."
