Su Jing had a bit of annoyance on his face, and now he heard Concubine Xu talking about Ah Man, saying that although she was a bit arrogant, it was because it concerned her biological mother, so...
Concubine Xu couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, so she spoke cryptically. However, Su Jing was obviously dissatisfied with such an obscure expression.
"What do you mean by spoiled? She didn't seem to provoke you after she came in. She didn't spoil you. What qualifications do you have to say that she spoiled you? Since I gave her the power, it was to let her hold a proper funeral for her biological mother. Why, she cares about her biological mother, which at least shows that she has a conscience. Why does it make you hesitate and hesitate?"
Concubine Xu thought that Ah Man's attitude would make the emperor angry, so she came up to comfort her with good intentions, hoping to make the emperor calm down, but she didn't expect that she would actually make the emperor even more furious.
She was clearly speaking for Princess Jiaoyang, but in the end she ended up being unpopular with everyone.
Concubine Xu felt aggrieved, but Su Jing was still very angry. She could only kneel there, saying nothing, but tears were already welling up in her eyes.
She grew up being spoiled by her father and brother, and had never suffered such injustice. However, during this period of time, the emperor stayed in her palace and always got angry for no reason. She felt very aggrieved every time, but she had no one to talk to. The sisters who had endured the hardships together in the palace also became estranged from her because of her favor, and now she was alone.
Xu Fei's tears fell slowly, and soon she choked with sobs. Only then did Su Jing realize that she was crying.
"Princess Jiaoyang is a princess I have pampered for more than ten years. I am not going to discipline her strictly. After all, she is someone else's family. She can only stay in this palace for a few more years. So, don't say bad things about Princess Jiaoyang in the future. I don't like to hear it."
It was rare that Su Jing actually spoke up to persuade her and even explained the reasons why he was protecting Princess Jiaoyang, which made Concubine Xu a little flattered.
"Don't provoke her in the future. Be good in the harem and you will naturally get benefits." Su Jing reminded softly, and Concubine Xu nodded quickly. In fact, she would avoid Princess Jiaoyang without the emperor telling her. Now everyone in the harem doesn't know that Princess Jiaoyang dares to punish even Concubine Zhu with the whip in her hand.
"You go out first. I'll rest for a while." Su Jing gestured to Concubine Xu to leave impatiently. Concubine Xu looked at him, hesitated to speak, and finally stood up. After Su Jing watched Concubine Xu's figure disappear from his sight, he suddenly lost his strength and collapsed on the bed.
"Empress Xu, when the master sends someone to ask about your situation again, you should tell the truth. The master will definitely not bear to see you suffer like this." Concubine Xu's personal maid persuaded Concubine Xu angrily. They had all heard the emperor's questioning just now.
Concubine Xu looked at the indignant little girl but said nothing in the end.
Back then, I insisted on entering the palace. I just wanted to be closer to the man I loved, and I didn't ask for anything else.
But her father and brothers felt that she had suffered a lot of injustice, and even though the emperor now stayed in her palace every day, they were still worried.
But this outcome was all her own fault, how could she let them worry about her again
She could only comfort herself again and again, telling herself that things were much better now than before. Before, she couldn't even see the emperor, but now, she could see him every day.
She just had some doubts whether this moody and easily angry emperor was the real person she fell in love with? When the emperor favored the queen, did he also speak so harshly to her
That shouldn’t be the case, right
Even though she had doubts in her heart, Concubine Xu quickly gave her answers.
When the Emperor and the Empress were together, he always liked to take the Empress to visit the Imperial Garden, take the Empress on tours, and take the Empress to coax His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They were always a perfect couple, just like a perfect match.
The emperor's favor to her was only superficial, and he didn't even know what he liked or disliked.
Compared with the Queen, Concubine Xu was resentful in her heart, but compared with other concubines who had never even received the Emperor's favor, she felt that she was lucky.
