Su Wanwan looked at him calmly and said:
"If you like it, you like it. It's not a big deal."
Lu Xingjian was very impatient and furious:
"I told you not to overthink things, why don't you ever listen?"
Su Wanwan sighed softly:
“It’s perfectly normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. You’ve had them before, and I don’t mind. Why are you so stubborn?”
She wouldn't mind if he had other women.
It's bound to happen sooner or later anyway.
She just won't be intimate with him anymore.
She is still a germaphobe.
Lu Xingjian's eyes were icy cold as he chuckled twice: "You really don't mind?"
Su Wanwan calmly met his gaze and said lightly, "Of course."
Lu Xingjian's temper flared up, and perhaps out of embarrassment and anger, he forcefully swept the Ru kiln flower arch with fresh roses on the table to the ground.
Su Wanwan stared at the shattered porcelain shards and the roses scattered on the ground, remaining silent for a while.
Is it wrong that she doesn't mind?
After a long while, she slowly said:
“You are not a person without sense of propriety. You treat Yanruo completely differently than you treat Ma Ji.”
"Since you allowed her to undress in front of you, her innocence is ruined, and she can't marry anyone else. You have to give her an explanation."
"How have I spoiled her?" Lu Xingjian's forehead veins throbbed as he slammed his fist on the table.
Su Wanwan wondered if one day this fist would hit her instead.
"What does her shamelessness have to do with me?"
"Can't you trust me even a little bit?!"
"Su Wanwan, why are you being so petty?"
Su Wanwan could no longer suppress her anger.
He was alone with half-naked Maggie, her collar was loose, and in the end she became petty.
She said irritably, "If you don't want to see her, would she take off her clothes in front of you?"
"Are all the people waiting outside the Imperial Study vegetarians?"
"If I say I don't mind, does that make me seem petty?!"
Lu Xingjian took a deep breath, slowly suppressed his anger, and said calmly:
"You just mind."
"I'll say it again, I don't like her."
Su Wanwan turned her head away and rolled her eyes.
"If I say I mind, will you stop seeing her?"
He says he doesn't like it, yet he indulges Maggie to this extent.
Is this interesting?
Lu Xingjian replied decisively: "No."
"Now that there is a shortage of border generals and the situation is turbulent, Ma Ji's brother is a brave general guarding a region. I must give them something to look forward to."
What hope does an ambiguous relationship with Maggie offer the Ma family?
He's just enjoying it.
He just enjoys the thrill of "a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a stolen one".
If you really want to win over Maggie's brother, you might as well arrange a good marriage for Maggie.
He probably wouldn't do it if he couldn't bear to.
Su Wanwan didn't say much, her voice was indifferent:
"It is difficult for Your Majesty to sacrifice your beauty for matters of national importance."
Lu Xingjian glanced at her a few times, but couldn't discern anything unusual on her face.
But these words carried a hint of sarcasm.
It was clearly an insult directed at him.
He pursed his lips slightly, his eyes grew colder, and slowly stood up and walked out.
Even after all that, she remained the same, and he didn't know what to say anymore.
We can only wait for her to figure it out herself.
Su Wanwan then realized why she had gone to the Imperial Study to find him.
I called him back and gave him a word of advice:
"These are turbulent times, so please be careful. Be cautious in your comings and goings, as well as in your clothing, food, and accommodation."
Husband and wife are one, and their interests are aligned.
In any case, she didn't want anything to happen to him.
Lu Xingjian turned to look at her, and seeing that she was still cold and aloof, he suppressed the urge to walk towards her feet and simply said:
"The same to you."
Su Wanwan smiled insincerely: "Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty."
Lu Xingjian stood there for a while, and seeing that she had nothing else to say, he turned and left.
That evening, Lu Xingjian did not come to Kunning Palace again.
Su Wanwan lay quietly on the bed.
He thought to himself, "Qianqing Palace is so close to Kunning Palace, I can come here with just a few steps if I want to."
But once you arrive, there's nothing you can do.
Right now, he should be embracing Maggie, making love and doing all sorts of things between men and women.
Her mind was filled with the alluring image of Maggie with her clothes half undone.
If she, a woman, felt her blood surging, he probably couldn't control himself any longer.
The problem was that she suddenly barged in, ruining his plans.
Otherwise, he should have pressed Ma Ji down on the imperial desk, or on the dragon throne, or on that magnificent landscape screen to conduct his business.
That's fine too.
That day will come sooner or later.
Fortunately, she's not in a very deep situation right now.
Even if we go our separate ways in the future, it won't be too painful.
She couldn't sleep, and after much thought, she thought of Xiao Bin, whom she hadn't heard from in a long time.
While dealing with palace affairs these past few days, she subtly inquired about the rising grain prices in the capital.
The time of transition between generations is approaching.
If the grain can be delivered in time, we'll make at least a fortune.
On a larger scale, sufficient food is the ballast stone for stabilizing the morale of the people and the army.
...
The Imperial Study.
Maggie sat on the dragon throne and pulled her dress down a little further.
My mother once said that this kind of half-revealed, half-concealed look is the most alluring.
Just now, when she took off her clothes, he lowered his eyes and refused to look at her.
Pretending to be serious.
I'm afraid he's already having all sorts of fantasies.
If we just add a little more fuel to the fire, taking him down will be a piece of cake.
