At this moment.
In the Empress's palace.
The palace was decorated with lanterns and streamers.
Because of the joyous occasion, red lanterns were hung everywhere, making it seem extremely lively.
However…
In the Empress's room.
The dim candlelight was extremely cold.
Empress Jiang Yazhi sat by the bed with a veil over her head, silently waiting for Xia Yan.
He waited silently until the latter half of the night.
She finally couldn't take it anymore and broke down.
He wouldn't come.
He already has another woman by his side. He doesn't like me at all.
Hehe, but I still have a trace of hope. How pitiful!
Xia Yan, are you that heartless to leave me alone in this empty room?
Thinking of this…
Her tears rolled down from her eyes and fell to the ground one by one.
His body was trembling.
He didn't know how much time had passed.
The tears on her cheeks had long dried up and turned into tears.
When the servant girl Xiao Qing saw her master being so persistent, her heart ached.
"Empress, Emperor Xia will not be coming today. Rest early, don't tire yourself out.”
Jiang Yazhi knew her limits.
She knew that Xia Yan wouldn't come.
Xia Yan usually didn't even bother to look at her.
Now, on their wedding night, he would definitely leave her alone in the empty room and run off to find other women.
Although she had a trace of hope in her heart and waited for Xia Yan with a trace of hope.
But he waited until late at night.
Xia Yan had never appeared.
Now.
Her heart had already turned cold. She had no hope at all, and even despair.
"Even if he doesn't come tonight, I'll have to wait for him all night.”
The person under the red veil said firmly.
It was Xia Yan's decision whether to come or not. Waiting was Jiang Yazhi's relationship with Xia Yan.
Seeing how insistent she was, Qing Zhu felt helpless.
Jiang Yazhi glanced at Qing Zhu and said lightly,""Little Qing, it's getting late. You should go back and rest first.”
"No, the Empress is not resting, and neither is Little Qing. Since the Empress wanted to wait for a night, then Little Qing would accompany the Empress for a night.”
Qing Zhu could be considered to have accompanied Jiang Yazhi since she was young. Although the two of them had the identity of a servant girl and a master, they were like sisters in secret.
Seeing Jiang Yazhi torture herself like this, she really couldn't bear to leave her alone.
Therefore…
All she could do now was to accompany him quietly.
Qing Zhu stood at the side, accompanying Jiang Yazhi as it dozed off.
And…
Jiang Yazhi sat silently by the bed, her back straight and unmoving.
His eyes didn't even blink, and his heart was like dead ashes, standing on the spot like a boulder.
The flickering yellow candlelight.
A red veil.
A cold and thin body.
A hard and cold heart.
No one would have known that such a beautiful princess, Jiang Yazhi, who was admired by tens of thousands of people, would be treated so coldly after marrying Xia Yan.
As the saying went.
The scenery in front of people was magnificent, but behind people was vicissitudes of life.
Jiang Yazhi had experienced it personally.
Jiang Yazhi felt like she could not hold on any longer.
However…
She had been holding on.
Waiting for this special night.
Although it was summer now, she felt like she was in the middle of winter, alone and helpless.
Her eyes were covered in a layer of dim frost.
Looking at the flickering candlelight.
His heart was already dead.
But at this moment.
Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door.
"Knock, knock!"
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Qing Zhu walked out.”
Standing at the door was another servant girl. She was sweating profusely and panting heavily.
"Emperor, Emperor Xia, Emperor Xia is here!"”
Hearing this.
Little Green's eyes widened and its mouth opened wide in shock."Emperor Xia is here?"
This made Qing Zhu feel incredulous.
Qing Zhu knew that Xia Yan had always neglected Jiang Yazhi.
The Empress waited for the whole night, but Emperor Xia did not come.
Now that he had suddenly come over, she could not help but be shocked.
Apart from shock, there was joy.
Qing Zhu hurriedly turned around and ran back to her room, eager to inform Jiang Yazhi of this matter.
"Empress!"
"Emperor Xia, Emperor Xia is coming!"
Qing Zhu stammered.
She was so excited that she couldn't even speak properly.
Hearing this, Jiang Yazhi's tightly clenched hands loosened a little. She was a little stunned.
His cold and hard heart seemed to have calmed down at this moment.
The corners of her mouth trembled as she struggled to say a few words, Emperor, Emperor Xia is here?"
She asked again in disbelief, afraid that she had misheard.
"Empress, yes! Emperor Xia is coming!"
Qing Zhu grabbed Jiang Yazhi's hand with joy. Tears of joy welled up in its eyes as it looked at Jiang Yazhi excitedly.
However…
At this moment, Jiang Yazhi restrained the joy in her heart.
His panicked heart calmed down and returned to its usual seriousness.
He forced a smile and said self-deprecatingly,""Qing `er, I'm afraid that Emperor Xia came from Miss Qiao 'er's place?”
The smile on Qing Zhu's face gradually faded.
"Someone wants to take the throne. It seems that my position as the empress is not stable anymore.”
Jiang Yazhi was very self-aware.
Xia Yan had repeatedly rejected her before they got married. He did not want her to be the Empress. Their engagement was also suppressed by the Empress Dowager, so Xia Yan had no choice.
However…
She knew that Xia Yan didn't like her. Even if she sat on the throne of the Empress, it would only be in name.
Since ancient times, it had always been the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers.
They were both born with the status of kings, so their marriage was not up to them.
Of course.
Jiang Yazhi had liked Xia Yan since she was young. Moreover, her dream since she was young was to become the beauty behind Xia Yan and help him dominate the world.
However…
Everything went against his wishes.
Finally…
What should happen would still happen.
Xia Yan's visit this time was probably not to sleep with her, but to curse her.
It was as if she could already predict everything that was about to happen.
"Empress, Little Qing is here! Xiao Qing will definitely protect you!"
Qing Zhu swore solemnly.
Not long after he finished speaking.
A feminine voice came from outside the door.
"Emperor Xia has arrived!"
