Sheng Zhiyu seemed to have been silent for a long time. When he spoke again, his tone was not as firm as at first, but a little heavier. He said slowly: "Grandma Huang, this matter... Xili and I are not in a hurry."
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "Of course she is not in a hurry. Do you really think that the Ai family doesn't know who she has in her heart? But Yu'er, she is already married to you. You don't have to compromise yourself like this. Even if you don't do it for Think about yourself, and always think about the country, the country, and the country. As an emperor, you must have heirs!"
"My grandson understands..."
"Don't even think about dealing with the Ai family. If she still refuses to submit, Yu'er, you must appoint a new concubine."
"This is impossible. In this life, I will never marry anyone except Ji Xili."
…
Ji Xili didn't listen anymore and walked down the stone steps with his head lowered. The rain still wet his shoes.
After walking out of the palace, Ji Xili said hello to the guards and asked them not to tell the emperor about her visit and not to let the people below hold an umbrella for her. She held an umbrella and returned to the palace herself.
Back at the Purple Spirit Palace, Ji Xili sat down and changed her wet shoes. She looked down at her bare ankles and was in a daze for a while. Finally, she blinked and turned around to call someone. Come in and prepare a hot bath for her.
She used to have her own opinions and didn't want to consider the consequences of anything she did. However, the consequences of that impulse four years ago made her regret her whole life. During her four years in Beige, she often thought, if she had If it wasn't that extreme, if she had done that thing in a different way, the Ji family would not have been implicated by her, and Sheng Zhiyu would not have refused to be the pampered prince for no reason. Everything, It's all because of her.
From then on, no matter what Ji Xili did, she would think about the consequences of it.
After marrying Sheng Zhiyu, she always thought that she had done enough. However, after listening to the Queen Mother's words, she seemed to understand that it was not enough. It was not enough to stay peacefully in Ziling Palace like this. of.
She was never close enough to him.
Sheng Zhiyu has always been reluctant to touch her, for fear that she would be sad.
For this reason, he had to face doubts from the Empress Dowager and even the court.
The emperor married a queen who refused to have children... Is this actually the case
Ji Xili couldn't even explain where his heart was...
Sheng Zhiyu felt that she had never let go of Sheng Qianmo from the beginning to the end. Maybe, that was not a relationship of a few months or a few years, but a relationship that had been in her heart for decades. It was not something that could be let go easily. Down.
But what she could vaguely feel had changed was that in the past four years, her feelings for Sheng Qianmo had gradually faded and were not as strong as before.
She didn't know if this was because of Sheng Zhiyu, but she could definitely see that she no longer loved Sheng Qianmo as much as she had in the past. She had gradually let go of Sheng Qianmo, but she hadn't completely let go. After all, it was a long-term relationship. She couldn't let go of her secret love all at once.
Therefore, she did not dare or had the courage to respond to Sheng Zhiyu's love.
Fortunately, Sheng Zhiyu has always been tolerant to her and pampered her.
However, she didn't know that he was under such pressure behind her back...
It would be fine if he was still a prince, but now he is the emperor. The Empress Dowager is right, he always wants heirs... Otherwise, how can he explain to the courtiers...
She can no longer be as selfish as before and only think about herself, she must always think about him.
