I also understood in my heart that it would be impossible for him to refuse if he wanted to, so he could only brace himself and continue with the banquet.
I, Xiang Yuxing, am a person who strives for perfection. I am a virgin after all.
The emperor looked at me with a face full of incredulity. In the afternoon, I had understood everything and I was confident. However, he couldn't be lazy for the next few days. There were too many things he had to do.
"This is for you." The Emperor took the jade pendant from his waist and gave it to me.
The jade pendant was carved with a lifelike dragon. I could tell that it was very valuable just by looking at it. When the Emperor passed the jade pendant to me, I was astonished.
"This is very expensive right? I can't take it." I quickly refused.
This is not directly given to you, it's just being lent to you for the time being. After the palace feast is done, you have to return it to me. With this badge, you can go and transfer people to different departments. The Emperor smiled and gave me the jade pendant.
I awkwardly smiled and could only accept it. My fingers drew clear lines on the surface. Even with modern high technology, it was difficult to carve this jade pendant so perfectly. As expected, the wisdom of ancient people was the best.
When I had finished my business with the Emperor, I was about to take my leave, but the Emperor offered to go and rest in the Imperial Gardens.
I couldn't help but agree to it. I thought to myself that if the emperor really did know me in the past, he should still be someone who knows me very well. After all, delicacies are my biggest weakness.
We ate in the imperial garden, chatting, laughing, and were very happy. The Emperor had always been smiling as he looked at me.
At this moment, a young eunuch hurried in and reported to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Esteemed Empress Lianfei wishes to seek an audience."
When the emperor heard this, his expression didn't look so good. His originally smiling face immediately darkened, returning to his usual solemn and indifferent expression.
I watched on from the side and forgot to chew. The speed at which my face changed was really fast. That Lianfei was also his wife and the one who wanted to share his bed. How could she have such an expression?
"Nope." The Emperor said it coldly.
"Your majesty, your majesty, why are you still unwilling to see me? Is it because you haven't calmed down yet?" Before the young eunuch who carried the message could leave the pavilion, a sharp and delicate female voice could be heard from outside.
"Esteemed Empress Lianfei, the Emperor has said that she doesn't want to see you. You should go back." The young eunuch was startled and hurried forward to stop her.
"Scram! You think you can stop me?" The consort directly pushed the eunuch away. The eunuch at the side didn't dare to say anything, and helplessly looked at the emperor.
"You can leave." The Emperor ordered.
The eunuch withdrew as if he had been pardoned. There was only me, the emperor, the concubine, and the maid of the concubine left in the pavilion.
Hong'er and Jianyi stood guard outside the pavilion, looking at me worriedly. I indicated to them that there would be no harm.
That consort of hers was looking at the emperor with a wronged expression. That kind of expression really made her look as though she was waiting to see him again.
But when his eyes fell on me, his expression changed. It was as though he wanted to stab me to death with a knife.
I looked at her hateful gaze before giving her a faint glance before continuing to eat my pastries. This kind of woman in the palace was the most bored, she knew how to be jealous.
When Lianfei saw that I was ignoring her, she probably wanted to look for my presence. She walked up to me and gave me a big bow. "Princess, I'm fine."
"I looked at Lianfei." I'm fine. "
Lianfei didn't look at me anymore. Instead, she turned her gaze towards the emperor. Immediately afterwards, she started crying sorrowfully.
"Your majesty, why are you so unwilling to see chenqie?" Lianfei was about 1.6 meters tall, and her body was round and sleek. So when I heard that fake baby voice, my appetite ran out.
I silently put down the pastries and took a sip of tea. When the emperor saw that I had put them down, he asked in concern, "What's wrong? It's not to my liking."
"No, I've eaten too much. I'm tired of it. Your majesty, all of you chat. I'll walk around by myself." I stood up and moved, then said.
"I'll go with you. Don't get lost like last time, it's so easy for us to find you." The emperor rose as well, not even sparing her a glance.
I felt a little awkward in the middle. "There's no need. I'll let Hong'er and Jianji go with me. The emperor should handle his own family matters first." I smiled.
When the emperor still wanted to obstruct him, I couldn't care less and left the pavilion by myself. Then, I whispered to Jian Yi and Hong'er. "Hurry up and get it done. Let's go." I left quickly.
The emperor was coming after me, but that consort held the emperor in her arms and didn't let him go.
After I left the pavilion, I thought about taking a walk around. I had already planted that little peony in my spiritual jade. It had recovered quite well.
I looked at the familiar place and remembered that this was where Bai Jing found me. Perhaps this was fate. He could sense my existence and even saved me.
I came here to save him, thinking that he is only a mortal. Without spiritual energy, I can finally protect him.
In the end, I still had to rely on him to save me.
While I was still in the midst of the situation, a discordant voice appeared.
"Yo, isn't this our princess? Why is she here admiring the flowers?" He had heard the sound of it before he had seen it. From the sound of it, it was that Lianfei.
What kind of weird physique is this? I'm just provoking my enemies, and where can I compete with them.
"Yo, isn't this our Esteemed Empress Lianfei? Why? Why are you crying with the Emperor?" I said with a sneer.
"Xiang Yuxing, do you think that you can fly up the tree branch and be demoted to a phoenix just because the Emperor gave you the title of princess? You are only a person that no one wants, the Emperor pitied you and gave you the title of princess. I grew up in the palace and am a legitimate princess. The Face Concubine could no longer care about her manners. She had a harsh and unkind expression on her face.
"So what? I only know that my current status is higher than yours, so that doesn't mean anything. When I was down and out, you didn't recognize me, so you had no right to mock me." I wasn't angry. On the contrary, I was extraordinarily calm.
"You slut, just what method did you use to cause the emperor to be so mesmerized by you?"
