Chapter 484 Hardships
Since ancient times, most kings have destroyed themselves because they have no self-knowledge.
For example, Emperor Xuanwu had the ambition to unify the world, but before the Jin Kingdom took the initiative to attack Dayan, he never revealed the slightest determination.
Because he couldn't let people talk about him, and couldn't let others think that he was eyeing the Jin Kingdom covetously.
In Jiang Xinyue's words, he was the kind of person who wanted both. He
wanted everyone to think that he was a peace-loving emperor who never advocated ending war with war, and he also wanted the Jin Kingdom to think that he was stubborn and conservative and could attack Dayan at will, and he also wanted the world to think that the Jin Kingdom was the initiator of the war.
In a word, it was others who were wrong, and only Dayan was the most innocent.
Even if he fought back, others would think it was excusable.
Jiang Xinyue grasped the emperor's psychology, so she was able to do things easily and the emperor would support her every decision.
Outsiders seemed to think that the emperor was obsessed with beauty and so he pampered Jiang Xinyue and let her do whatever she wanted. In fact, the emperor was giving Jiang Xinyue the same illusion.
However, Jiang Xinyue knew very well that the emperor pampered her not because he was dazzled by beauty, nor because he loved to be aggressive.
It was because she gave the emperor what he wanted most... everything...
beauty, intelligence, generosity, and understanding.
And what the emperor wanted in his heart was understood by Jiang Xinyue, and while fighting for his own interests, he also fulfilled what the emperor wanted in his heart.
Such an empress can be his wife or a queen who stands shoulder to shoulder with him.
He can use Jiang Xinyue's hand to do everything that is inconvenient for him to do, under the pretext of: She is my beloved woman, can't I do something for her that she wants to do?
Probably everyone thinks that her position as the queen of heaven came too easily, and she became the queen without any fierce opposition.
For some things, only she knows the hardships.
The emperor is not a foolish person, and her beauty is just the icing on the cake for him. No matter how amazing he is by her appearance, once it comes to business, this peerless beauty is like chicken ribs.
The emperor will not be overwhelmed by the beauty of a woman.
Fortunately, Jiang Xinyue will not be deceived by the emperor's sweet words to give her true heart. Every step she takes is what she is willing to take, and that's enough.
The human heart is that you test me and I test you.
In the step-by-step test, you know whether the other person is the one who best matches your three views.
The emperor would weigh the value of the trade-offs, and Jiang Xinyue would also calculate whether her efforts could get the same return.
The paths they took and the things they wanted were different, but they all led to the same destination, as long as the final result satisfied both of them.
In addition, the emperor really liked Jiang Xinyue, so her path was naturally smooth.
People always see what she gets, but ignore what she gives.
"Empress of Dayan, our queen has cooked wine in Yu Garden and would like to invite you to enjoy the snow together."
Jiang Xinyue had already put on a snow-white fox fur coat and sneered: "The Jin Kingdom is geographically remote, with heavy snow all year round. It is an extremely cold place. Hasn't your queen seen enough in the Jin Kingdom?"
If you want to plot against her, just tell her to go and die. What are you talking about here?
Enjoying the snow, it's more like enjoying the blood.
"This..."
This awkward question really embarrassed the maid from the Kingdom of Jin who came to deliver the message, and she didn't know how to answer.
"Okay, go and tell your queen that I will be there soon."
How can she hypnotize them if she doesn't get the chance to hypnotize herself?
There is a cold room built in the Yu Garden in summer. Remove the ice, put the charcoal in it after it is burned red, and it becomes a warm room. The
sound of gurgling water can be heard, and the warm wine and tea are boiling, with a refreshing aroma of wine. The warm wine glass is also made of the finest jade, emitting a gleaming glow on the woman's fingertips.
Heiyun is not a dancer this time. She changed into a pink dress and sat quietly below Su Yanran, boiling wine for her.
When Jiang Xinyue arrived, Su Yanran, in order to get back on her feet, did not stand up to greet her, but casually pointed to the seat next to her: "Queen of Heaven, please sit down."
"How dare you!"
Xi Que shouted angrily: "You are just the empress who is inferior to the emperor, and our queen is the empress of heaven who is equal to the emperor, how can you not stand up to pay your respects?"
Even though both of them are queens of a country, there is a big difference between the empress and the empress of heaven.
Su Yanran wanted to play dumb and get away with it, but Xi Que was not used to it.
"Hey!"
Jiang Xinyue stopped the magpie: "The Jin Kingdom is located in an extremely desolate place. If not, the previous Jin emperor would not have coveted our Great Yan's territory. They are naturally casual, don't like to be restrained, and are used to being free. They don't like to talk about these rules. They are used to being free. Don't force them."
It's almost like the Jin people are vulgar, rude, bad, and unreasonable. They are engraved on their foreheads.
Su Yanran was so angry that her face turned red, but Jiang Xinyue was like a normal person. She didn't think it was an insult that Su Yanran didn't salute her.
She really felt that the difference between the two was not who kneeled to whom.
After all, elephants don't care about ants biting them.
Because ants can't shake a living elephant.
"The dancer next to sister Su is quite talented!"
After Jiang Xinyue sat down, she chuckled as if she had just seen Heiyun, saying, "She dances and makes tea. It seems that you are the only one serving your queen?"
Is she still resentful of the fact that she peeked at Heiyun a few times during the New Year's banquet of the Emperor of Dayan?
What can she do?
Heiyun's figure is naturally more charming than that of ordinary women. Jiang Xinyue can't control the emperor's eyes. Why should she be angry with Heiyun?
Such a person must have killed her sister Jianxi without finding out the truth, causing the Su family to die and be bullied at the border.
It made her unable to stay in Yanbian and was forced to leave her hometown. She was forced by the old emperor of Jin to become a saint and dedicate herself to him.
This kind of humiliation would be hard to appease the hatred in her heart unless she killed Jiang Xinyue.
Jiang Xinyue didn't like Heiyun and wanted to send her away, but Su Yanran insisted on keeping Heiyun to annoy her.
"Your Majesty, this maid of mine is the most caring one. Even if you don't like her, please bear with her for my sake! Anyway, I will go back to the Kingdom of Jin in a few days."
Jiang Xinyue rolled her eyes impatiently and exhaled heavily from her nose. She could only bear it for the time being.
Heiyun glanced at Su Yanran, lowered his head, and offered the wine glass in his hand.
"Bang!"
The white jade cup shattered all over the floor, and the wine splashed. Heiyun raised his hand to block it, and the bell on his wrist made a crisp sound again.
"Ring ring ring..."
Jiang Xinyue shook her head, trying to drive away the dizzy feeling from her mind.
