He disliked her only quirk: her silence.
After all, Jiang Xian is good-natured and has a lively personality. She likes to be capricious and especially enjoys being jealous.
God knows how much he loved seeing her jealous little face.
After their argument, he tried all sorts of ways to win them back, but none of them worked.
Jiang Xian seemed determined, no longer saying another word to him, nor smiling at him.
Even if we have a disagreement, I won't argue with him.
This frightened him.
So he simply went along with the minister's wishes and brought those women into the harem.
She waited for Jiang Xianhao to come and confront him angrily, hit him, and scold him.
However, she did not react at all, and instead moved directly to the remote Jingyu Palace.
This infuriated him, and he got extremely drunk that day.
In his hazy, drunken state, he seemed to see Jiang Xianhao.
She came to him, hugged him, told him she loved him, and forgave him.
Overjoyed, he embraced her and pressed her firmly onto the bed.
Later, when he woke up, he discovered that it was all a lie.
That woman wasn't her either.
It was Consort Hui, who had just entered the palace.
At that time, Emperor Rongcheng knew that his relationship with Jiang Xianhao was completely over.
From then on, Jiang Xianhao completely distanced herself from him.
Even when he went to explain, she remained very calm.
He was as calm as a stranger.
This led him from initial fear to guilt, and finally to... anger.
He was furious that he, an emperor, was so humble and pleading with a woman, yet she showed no appreciation and didn't take him seriously at all.
This caused him to lose face completely, and his dignity as an emperor was trampled upon.
So, after Jiang Xianhao ignored him once again, he made a harsh statement and slammed the door as he left.
At first, he fantasized that Jiang Xianhao would come looking for him.
She will come to coax him.
He didn't need her to coax him.
All he needed was for her to come and stand in front of him.
He would immediately step forward and say all the nice things to her.
It would even be possible to lay bare his heart and show it to him.
But she didn't.
He waited for a month before finally giving up.
It was at this time that news came that Consort Hui was pregnant.
This surprised him greatly, but also made him a little flustered and fearful.
He had been waiting for Jiang Xianhao's reaction.
Therefore, he deliberately released this news and lavishly rewarded Consort Hui, even granting her the rank of consort as an exception.
This was so that all these messages would reach Jiang Xianhao's ears.
To this end, he even arranged for two palace maids to deliberately discuss the matter at the entrance of Jingyu Palace.
Finally, he waited until Jiang Xianhao came out.
However, what awaited her was not an angry outburst.
Instead, she presented the Phoenix Seal, knelt down and begged him to spare her and remove her from control of the harem.
This news enraged Emperor Rongcheng.
Ignoring Jiang Xianhao's red eyes, he simply took the phoenix seal and threw it directly to Consort Hui.
And in front of her, he directly issued an imperial edict, promoting Consort Hui to Noble Consort Hui and putting her in charge of the six palaces.
From then on, his relationship with Jiang Xianhao completely changed.
After he stopped looking for her, the two never saw each other again.
After suffering for a while, he completely let himself go, immersing himself in debauchery and women.
The fleeting pleasure and excitement gradually made him forget the woman he had to grovel and coax.
However, after this brief thrill, all that remained for him was a long period of emptiness and loneliness.
This made him miss her even more.
He wanted to see her.
As Shen Hechuan grew up, he, who had long held a high position, began to recall the day he first argued with Jiang Xianhao.
Those places hidden deep within his heart, places he was unwilling to touch, began to grow wildly.
This is why he disliked Shen Hechuan even more.
He's perfect in every way.
He clearly did a better job than his father, Emperor Rongcheng, did back then.
However, it was precisely because he was good at everything that Emperor Rongcheng became wary, suspicious, displeased, and angry.
Once the seed of doubt is planted, it begins to grow unchecked, and it cannot be pulled out even if you try.
Now, many years later.
Emperor Rongcheng finally saw the side of Shen Hechuan that was uniquely like himself beneath his seemingly perfect exterior.
It was as if a mountain in his heart had suddenly fallen, filling him with joy and allowing him to breathe a long sigh of relief.
It was at this moment that Jiang Xianhao finally walked out of Jingyu Palace and stood in front of him, just as Emperor Rongcheng had hoped many years ago.
She was no longer indifferent.
No longer numb.
The way she looked at him was no longer like that of a stranger.
Instead, she wore a red dress as before, living a carefree and joyful life.
She would get angry with him, be jealous of him, and glare at him with a cold snort.
It was as if the estrangement of the past years had vanished.
But for Emperor Rongcheng, this moment truly did not exist.
This greatly pleased Emperor Rongcheng.
Ignoring the fact that there were other people present, he immediately pulled Jiang Xianhao into his arms.
"No one is more important than you. In this palace, in the entire Dacheng, no one is more important than you."
Jiang Xianhao naturally wouldn't let it go, struggling to push Emperor Rongcheng away and giving her a "disgusting" glare.
"What are you doing? I'm talking to you about serious matters. Don't get physical."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng immediately nodded obediently.
His appearance was nothing like that of the aloof emperor he once was.
