Cang Xixue's eyes darted around, her voice filled with caution.
Feng Guche shook his head and looked at Cang Xixue with a gentle expression.
"That's not the case."
"Then why did the Emperor stop them from continuing their performance?"
As soon as Cang Xixue finished speaking, Feng Guche looked at her with deep affection once again.
"I noticed you seemed a bit distracted, and I was worried you might be getting upset, so I had them leave."
"Your Majesty, there's really no need for this, Your Majesty..."
Before Cang Xixue could finish speaking, Feng Guche had already reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"Xue'er, I was blinded by my own perspective a few years ago and wronged you and Feng Mozhan, causing you to suffer. I once said that from now on I will definitely treat you and your son well."
"Since I fell ill, I've realized with anger that only you are the best person to me. My illness was able to recover so quickly thanks to your daily vegetarian diet and chanting of Buddhist scriptures. It was your sincerity that moved Buddha."
"From now on, you can have whatever you like. If you don't like it, you can just kick it out."
Feng Guche's words brought a smile to Cang Xixue's face.
To reassure Cang Xixue, Feng Guche once again assured her that he would listen to her as long as it did not involve matters of the previous dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I know your intentions are enough. There is really no need for you to do this."
"I'm not doing this to show you anything, but to let you know that you are very important to me."
As they were talking, Feng Guche raised his hand and grasped Cang Xixue's small hand.
Cang Xixue rested her head on Feng Guche's shoulder and smiled slightly.
Feng Guche's hand suddenly froze, as if he had thought of something.
The perceptive Cang Xixue immediately sensed that something was amiss.
"Xue'er's beauty is as stunning as ever when she smiles, which reminds me of the woman with a red mole between her eyebrows among those songstresses earlier. Her eyes and brows are somewhat similar to Xue'er's."
Feng Guche's unintentional words immediately filled Cang Xixue with joy.
Normally, Cang Xixue would hide all her thoughts without reservation, but today was different.
Cang Xixue adjusted her posture, her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Just now, His Majesty said that he only had Xue'er in his heart. I never expected that when His Majesty was with Xue'er, he would still mutter about young and beautiful women."
After saying this, Cang Xixue spoke again with a mournful tone.
"Is this how His Majesty views Xue'er, as lowly as a courtesan, not worth mentioning?"
Feng Guche was stunned after hearing this, then smiled and said, "Xue'er, you're overthinking it. I was just mentioning it casually and had no other intentions."
Cang Xixue did not follow up on Feng Guche's words. Instead, she gave a coquettish smile, and the matter was dropped.
Half an hour later, Cang Xixue left Feng Guche's residence.
As soon as she stepped outside, Cang Xixue's face showed disgust, and her gentle temperament vanished completely.
Feng Guche, you really can't change your nature of wanting more while eating what you don't have!
The maidservant beside Cang Xixue sensed something was wrong and became very cautious. Only when they reached the end of the corridor did the maidservant speak.
"Your Highness, shall I go to the March Pavilion?"
The young palace maid spoke very subtly, but the meaning behind her words was self-evident.
The March Pavilion was a place in the imperial palace where the courtesans practiced their singing and dancing.
