Jing Tang entered the palace with great fanfare and went to Longevity Palace in front of everyone. After exchanging pleasantries with the Empress Dowager for a while, he ran over to me with a smile. I dressed up and welcomed her in before closing the door to clear the room.
" I was worried that you wouldn't get along with the Emperor." Jing Tang smiled at me." Now it seems unnecessary."”
I didn't expect Jing Tang to say that at all. I blinked in confusion."Why?"
" You two know each other, but he doesn't know that he's marrying you. No man would allow things to go out of control, especially women," she said calmly." If the people are like this, let alone the emperor, a moment of carelessness would be a disaster.”
I was stunned for a moment before nodding. Jing Yi's initial anger had already proven this truth.
" It's a good start," she commented." You guys cooperated well. You were able to fool almost everyone at a steady pace.”
I lowered my head and remained silent. I didn't say that I had nothing to do with Jing Yi. Even so, I believed that there was still some tacit understanding between us.
" Since you're no longer worried," I asked after a while," why did you go through so much trouble to enter the palace?”
" I'm not worried, but there are others who are worried and urged me to come and see you." Jing Tang's smile was very real when he said this." Your father can't sleep or eat well.”
I always had complicated thoughts when talking about my father. After a pause, I said,"I haven't been by your side for more than ten years, so I'm not used to it now.”
" It's different." Jing Tang's smile faded." Compared to you staying in the palace every day, he might rather not know where you are."”
I lowered my eyes. I didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.
After a while, I asked again,"What's the attitude of the main house?"”
When Jing Tang entered the palace, Rong Chengyao couldn't have left no message. Jing Yi needed to know what Jing Tang was up to.
" They're more anxious than I thought. They're very dissatisfied with your current situation. They said that they must urge you to establish your position as soon as possible." Jing Tang wasn't surprised that I would ask this." Rong Chengyao is an old fox. Your grandfather isn't easy to deal with either.”
Listening to her describe Rong Chengyao and Rong Chengqian in this way, I couldn't help but find it a little funny. To be able to make such a noble and elegant princess speak so recklessly, I didn't need to ask to know that there was a lot of honey-tongued talk between them.
I didn't take it to heart." The whole thing was supposed to be about mutual use. Once the goal of one stage was achieved, I naturally wouldn't continue to do nothing, so they can rest assured.”
" How can they be at ease?" Jing Tang was worried." You won't be their only bargaining chip and tool. The two girls that Rong Chengyao sent in are no longer of value. If you can't satisfy them or give them hope, you might force them to have other thoughts."”
" And once he has other thoughts, it must be something big." She looked at me with a serious expression." Why do you think your father is so worried?”
Jing Tang was a member of the royal family and also a member of the Rong family. She hated this family but loved her father. This dual identity made her feel a dilemma that others could not understand. There was no win-win situation for both sides, but it was easy for her to cause double mistakes. I could see this, but I could not help her.
" He didn't say it clearly, but it doesn't mean that I don't understand." She looked straight at me and said," Yanyan, if there are some things that must be done, your father would definitely want you to take the credit for making it happen. That way, you can last long and be safe. Only then will you have a chance to retreat unscathed and even seek a better outcome. Do you understand?"”
" I hope so too," she said after a pause,""If you betray this position early on, this will be a dead end sooner or later.”
I was silent. I knew exactly what she was talking about. My heart felt heavy, but I finally nodded."I understand."
After Jing Tang left, I sat alone in the hall for a long time until Jing Yi came in the evening.
He would come to Kunyi Palace every two or three days. Sometimes he would sit down, and sometimes he would stay. The two of them got along well. Occasionally, they would talk for a while.
It's just that today, I was quite conflicted with him. I didn't know whether to tell him the truth or secretly make my own decision. I couldn't predict how he would react when he found out, and I really didn't have the courage to do something that might destroy the relationship that we had worked so hard to stabilize.
What surprised me was that he didn't ask about Jing Tang's arrival. He didn't even mention it. He just ate and chatted with me as usual. It made me feel that such a peaceful day was something that could only be encountered by luck. To be able to have one more day was a gift to me.
The peace was broken when Jing Yi entered my bedroom.
He must be familiar with that faint fragrance, but when it appeared in my place, his expression instantly changed. After his surprise, he was furious and almost roared,"Who told you to use this!"
The smell of the medicine could not be removed. When I put it in the incense burner and lit it up, I knew that Jing Yi would be unhappy if he found out. He might blame me for acting on my own initiative or accuse me of contacting Shen Lin privately. But I never thought that he would be so furious. It was almost more exaggerated than the night when I conferred the title of Empress.
At that moment, I thought that I had caused some trouble and was stunned."What's wrong?"
"I'm asking you, who allowed you to use this!”He repeated the question and emphasized," Shen Lin gave it to you?”
" I asked him for it." Afraid that he would vent his anger, I quickly explained on behalf of Shen Lin and myself." I thought..."
"What do you think?" Unfortunately, he interrupted me before I could say anything." Do you always like to do things by surprise and make your own decisions? I thought you could change it! You said that I forced you into a dead end when you entered the palace. Then who forced you this time?”
"I-" My heart was beating fast. I didn't understand why he was so angry. I didn't know what to say.
His expression became worse and worse. He did not say anything else and turned to leave.
I hurriedly went to pull him back. I was also complaining in my heart."You can't always leave in anger. Either you explain it clearly or listen to me!”
I had long forgotten what he had warned me before. I didn't restrain my strength to stop him. Fortunately, he didn't say anything else about not using his strength. He just stood down with a gloomy face.
"This thing isn't a secret. Other people use it in the palace, why can't I use it?”Knowing that he didn't like to be tugged at, I let go of his hand and took a deep breath." I admit that I made my own decisions, thought too much about myself, and thought too much about myself. But at least I know my limits. Do you think I'm willing to do this? Which woman in the world would be willing to do this?”
" But…" As I spoke, my tone began to sound aggrieved and accusatory." There are so many signs and facts that show that you don't want children, and you can't have my children. I took the initiative to help you avoid the trouble that would follow. You have no reason to lose your temper!”
"You think you're full of yourself!”His expression softened slightly, but his tone was still unpleasant." I don't need you to make wild guesses about whether I want the child or not. Haven't you always been brave enough to ask? Why don't you dare to ask now?”
" How many times have I told you? I don't need the sacrifices you think are noble." He suddenly grabbed my shoulder and frowned." All those women can be sacrificed, but you can't!”
As he spoke, he called Cai An, who was waiting outside, in and instructed,"Remove the incense and replace it with new ones!”
I was so stunned that I was completely speechless. He sighed heavily in front of me and left me behind before turning around and entering. I stood rooted to the spot for a long time before I thought of a possibility that I had never dared to believe. At the same time, my heart suddenly palpitated, and my lips immediately trembled a little.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 12PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
