Chapter 12 Utilization
Her little brain couldn’t figure it out, so she could only kneel outside the Xihe Hall and watch Emperor Xuanwu chasing after Zhen Ronghua’s back.
If she had thought clearly, she wouldn’t have to kneel here.
Jiang Xinyue returned to the bedroom and covered herself with the quilt and refused to come out. No matter how Xi Que and Shuang Jiang persuaded her, there was no movement under the quilt. Emperor Xuanwu
smiled and said, “Go down, let Wang Dequan bring the meal over. I will have lunch with your master at noon.”
The master did this, and the emperor was not angry?
Xi Que and Shuang Jiang were stunned, and then happily retreated.
After they were all gone, Jiang Xinyue quickly pulled off the quilt and glared at Emperor Xuanwu with her beautiful eyes: "Your Majesty did it on purpose."
"What did I do on purpose?"
Did he flirt with her outside on purpose and remind her of my romantic gestures last night? And did he tease her on purpose?
Then he is guilty, he did tease her on purpose to see her reaction.
There hasn't been such a lively person in the harem for a long time.
Jiang Xinyue said nothing and turned her head away: "Just now, Concubine Chu was the first to complain, and the emperor helped her."
This is wronging him.
Emperor Xuanwu laughed, sat on the bed, and pulled her quilt corner: "Come out first, it's hot inside, don't get suffocated."
Seeing that she didn't move, Emperor Xuanwu threw the snow-white silk quilt aside, scooped up her long arms, held her on his knees and sat her down, with his forehead against her eyebrows: "When did I help her?"
"You look at me like this..."
She imitated Emperor Xuanwu's expression when he was in the lotus pond, but she didn't have enough aura and looked fierce: "Like this..."
Emperor Xuanwu couldn't help but pecked her pouting mouth lightly. Jiang Xinyue looked dazed, and he pecked her again, again and again...
Finally it turned into a deep, long French kiss.
This was something Emperor Xuanwu learned from Jiang Xinyue.
When she was aroused, the woman's small tongue was soft and flexible, chasing and playing with him, and a kiss seemed interesting.
He wanted more and more to conquer her flexible organs that were igniting everywhere.
"I'm not... I'm not angry anymore, I'm not angry anymore."
Jiang Xinyue pushed Emperor Xuanwu away breathlessly, her cheeks flushed, avoiding the emperor's face that was approaching: "Your Majesty just said that he came to see Concubine Chu specially, what is he doing now?" He said he
was not angry, but he was still jealous!
"If I didn't say that, wouldn't they have united to bully my beloved concubine?"
It was originally for her sake.
If she was really the original Jiang Xinyue, she would probably be obsessed with the emperor's deep affection.
But...
isn't he using her to attack Concubine Chu?
For six years, Concubine Chu always pretended to be sick and weak. Jiang Xinyue could see the emperor's attitude clearly.
His tolerance for Concubine Chu, no... it should be said that his tolerance for Concubine Chu and the Chu family has reached its peak.
From the first day she came through and was favored, Emperor Xuanwu had already thought about how to use her to achieve his own goals.
Otherwise, the emperor would not have directly bypassed Concubine Chu and promoted her from a noble to Ronghua.
Wasn't it just to give her the power to crush Concubine Chu, anger Concubine Chu, and let Concubine Chu destroy herself?
Jiang Xinyue's greatest advantage is that she knows herself. Emperor Xuanwu, who is used to the beauties in the harem, governs the Great Yan Dynasty with peace and prosperity. How could such an emperor have real feelings for her?
Fortunately, she was just playing along.
The slap he gave to Concubine Chu today was to satisfy Emperor Xuanwu and make him feel that everything was going smoothly according to his ideas.
Correspondingly, he must give himself some compensation.
Because soon, Concubine Chu will fight back.
In this palace, if you don't fight back after being slapped in the face, you will become a laughing stock of everyone in the harem and be bullied by everyone.
Only if you fight back successfully can you tell everyone that you are not easy to mess with, and maintain your superficial dignity and status.
Jiang Xinyue leaned in Emperor Xuanwu's arms with a touching smile on her face, and the light of wisdom flashed in her eyes.
And Emperor Xuanwu, who rested his chin on her head, was a little absent-minded, as if he was thinking about something.
The lunch was very exquisite. With the emperor present, the kitchen of Yu dared not neglect the Xihe Palace and served with extra care.
Jiang Xinyue was used to taking a beauty sleep half an hour after lunch, but Emperor Xuanwu did not have such leisure time. After spending some time with his "beloved concubine", he got up and went back to the study to handle state affairs.
"My dear..."
After Shuangjiang and Xique sent Emperor Xuanwu out, they immediately came back and told Jiang Xinyue: "When the emperor went out just now, Concubine Chu fainted at his feet. Guess what happened?"
Jiang Xinyue had her hair tied up neatly, and was applying a sticky substance mixed with crushed lotus leaves and honey as a facial mask: "The emperor will say that since Concubine Chu is frail and sickly, from now on, the green card in Changchun Palace will be removed, and she will be confined to house arrest to recuperate! Wait until she is completely cured, and then come out again, so as not to pass on her disease to the concubines in the harem."
Her words were even more surprised than the first time Shuangjiang saw her applying a facial mask with lotus leaves and honey: "My dear, you...how do you know the emperor said this?" She
said every word.
Jiang Xinyue massaged the mask with her fingers to promote absorption, and said calmly: "Because your master is the roundworm in the emperor's stomach!"
What's so hard about this?
In those days, the foreign relatives were in power, Empress Dowager Wu controlled the harem, and the position of the empress was like a figment. The Wu family relied on the fact that the emperor was the empress dowager
's biological son and bought official positions and titles without scruples, touching the bottom line of Emperor Xuanwu. So the Wu family was raided, the empress dowager was placed under house arrest in Cining Palace, and the Wu family, from Emperor Xuanwu's uncle to the collateral relatives who were separated by 108,000 miles, were all exiled to the bitter cold land of Ningbei, whether they were eight or eighty years old, male or female.
It can be seen that he was cold-hearted and had long since disowned his relatives.
Now he was unwilling to tolerate Concubine Chu any longer, so of course he would kill her and destroy her heart, and attack her from the grace that Concubine Chu cared about the most.
Jiang Xinyue shuddered, and reminded herself again and again that she must preserve her intact heart and must not let the emperor get in the slightest.
His kindness to her was all calculated and balanced. Even if there was no Zhen Ronghua today, there would be Zhang Ronghua and Li Ronghua...
She just appeared at the right time. She was stunningly beautiful and had a humble background, so there was no need to worry about any big storms in her mother's family.
Because she was never tempted, she was not sad.
Instead, she was lucky that she had something that the emperor, the empress, and Concubine Li wanted to use, and these things would only allow her to go higher and further.
She had no plans to be an empress, and did not want to be an old mother working for Emperor Xuanwu, dealing with trivial matters and frame-ups all day long.
She was more ambitious. She wanted to be Emperor Xuanwu's favorite concubine, a concubine who could live freely and unrestrainedly without looking at anyone's face.
