Whenever the emperor came to Wangshu Palace, he would send everyone out, not even Zheng Cheng.
In the empty room, Concubine Jade lowered her head to embroider the clothes in her hands, her cold face was calm, and she turned a deaf ear to the emperor's proud words, pretending that the emperor did not exist.
In the past, the emperor would have asked angrily and then walked away.
Today, the emperor was not only not annoyed, he also stood up and sat behind Concubine Yu, and put his arms around Concubine Yu's waist.
As if being crawled by a snake, Jade Concubine quickly stood up and backed away, leaving the needlework and clothes on her knees scattered on the floor.
"You are already the emperor, why bother embarrassing a woman like me? Please respect yourself!"
Seeing Concubine Jade's disgusted and repulsive look, the smile on the emperor's lips completely disappeared:
"Embarrassed? You are my concubine, and it is your duty to serve me, so why bother? Don't rely on me to spoil you and despise me again and again!"
Concubine Jade turned sideways and looked at the light-transmitting window, with an unyielding aloofness in her thin figure:
"You never got used to me, you just kept me locked up for decades."
The emperor's face darkened: "I locked you up here in Wangshu Palace to protect you! You offended Tianyan so much, and if word spread, you would have died! I treat you sincerely, and will allow you to be unbridled, with food and clothing." It’s up to you to choose, even a stone should be warmed after so many years!”
Concubine Yu sneered: "Haha, if you really treat me sincerely, how can you not know what I'm thinking? If you really treat me sincerely, how can you trap me here? It's really hypocritical."
The emperor slapped the table angrily: "You are so presumptuous!"
Facing the emperor's wrath, Concubine Jade still looked at the window without changing her expression.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and a teenage boy ran in crying. Although he was frightened, he forced himself to step forward and kneel down in front of the emperor:
"Father...Father, please don't be angry with your mother."
When Concubine Yu saw the boy coming in, her calm expression disappeared. She immediately ran to the boy's side and hugged him distressedly, coaxing him softly:
"Why did you come in? Don't cry. Don't cry. Your father was just talking to his mother and concubine. He was not angry at all. Don't be afraid."
The emperor looked at the mother and son in front of him with a cold face, and after a long time he said:
"Cheng'en, come here."
Concubine Jade hugged the little prince tighter and looked at the emperor with wary eyes:
"What are you going to do?" 81Z.ćőr/> "I just asked my son to come forward and have a look. What are you afraid of? What? You want me to take him away to see when I leave Wangshu Palace?"
Concubine Yu was shocked and angry: "You!"
After regaining her composure, Concubine Yu slowly let go of her hand stiffly and smiled at the little prince:
"Cheng'en, go forward and let your father take a look. Don't be afraid. Go ahead."
The little prince slowly walked forward, stood beside the emperor, and whispered: "Father."
The emperor showed a loving smile and reached out to pat the little prince on the shoulder:
"Have you listened to your mother-in-law lately? Have you made any progress in your homework?"
The little prince turned his head and looked at Concubine Jade before saying, "My son is very obedient, and my mother and concubine will test my son every day."
Emperor: "He is a good boy. My father likes good children very much. Your mother and concubine have been having a temper with your father. You usually help your father to persuade your mother and concubine."
The little prince nodded obediently. Concubine Yu secretly gritted her teeth after hearing the words, but she didn't speak out to contradict him for the sake of the little prince.
The emperor had a fatherly and filial conversation with the young prince, and did not embarrass Concubine Jade. He stood up and left Wangshu Palace. When passing by Concubine Yu, he said lightly:
"You have taught our children to be polite and well-behaved. I am very satisfied."
