Chapter 531 Hypocrisy
Chapter 531 Hypocrisy
Shen Yiyi went over what the man said in her mind. She hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now it seemed to be true.
Brother Chen is always by my side. It turns out that he is protecting me.
"Is there anything else?" She craned her neck to look at the man.
I really didn't notice these before, and I want to listen to some more.
"Of course there are, a lot!" Shang Zhanchen pinched her little face again as a punishment.
"The conditions in Lingbei were so difficult back then, I lived and ate with the soldiers. After you came, I specially prepared special meals for you.
No matter how tired I am, I will accompany you wherever you go. When you fall asleep at night, I will go to your room and cover you with a blanket.
I only come out after I make sure you are sleeping soundly and won’t kick the quilt again.”
I feel quite emotional when I talk about this. The conditions in Lingbei were so difficult back then, but Yiyi was there to accompany him. Looking back on it now, I feel quite happy.
“…” Shen Yiyi’s eyes lit up.
She really didn't know about this and didn't expect Brother Chen to do so much for her.
"Is there anything else? Say more, I want to hear more." Shen Yiyi put her arms around the man's waist.
It turns out that Brother Chen is so good to her. She didn’t know all these things and wanted to hear more.
Seeing that Yiyi's emotions had stabilized, Shang Zhanchen bit her cheek again as a punishment.
"Of course I have. And the time when you went to Baihu Mountain and you fell off the cliff, I jumped down to save you regardless of everything. Have you forgotten that..."
Shang Zhanchen turned into a nagging old woman and recounted in detail everything that had happened since he and Shen Yiyi met.
In the living room, the emperor held his little grandson in his arms and listened to his son's mumbling with his ears perked up.
"..."
Chen'er is so loving and patient with Yiyi. I am far inferior to him.
He had never treated the queen like this before. Even when he was a prince, it was the queen who gave in to him.
Now that I think about it, I feel quite sorry for the Queen and I sighed unconsciously.
When he lowered his head, he saw his little grandson in his arms also sighing, and he couldn't help laughing.
"You little bastard, you even learn from your great-grandfather." He kissed him on the forehead in surprise.
When I looked up, I saw the queen looking at Chen'er's room with a smile on her face.
"..."
Chen'er and Yiyi have such a good relationship, she is happy to see it, life is more fun this way.
When she turned around, she saw the emperor staring at her, and the smile on her face immediately disappeared.
"What's wrong?" The emperor had never looked at him so directly before, and it felt strange.
"Nothing." The emperor withdrew his gaze.
Seeing the Queen looking at Chen'er and the others eagerly, he felt even more guilty.
"Don't stand here." The queen held her little granddaughter in her arms and returned to the east room.
The emperor and empress were eavesdropping here, and if they were seen by others, they would be laughed at.
The emperor then followed behind, holding his little grandson in his arms. After coaxing the two little guys to sleep, he left.
Just as the queen was about to return to her own courtyard, she saw the emperor following her and blocking her way.
"What does this mean, Your Majesty?"
"I'm going to sit with the Queen."
Since he ascended the throne, he has indeed cared too little for the queen.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this." The Queen curled her lips.
"Your Majesty is the supreme ruler, and he cares about the people. I dare not be the only one favored by you. Please rest assured that I will take good care of the harem.
I will do my duty and never make His Majesty worry. It is getting late, so I will go back first."
How could she not know what the emperor was thinking? He felt guilty about how well Chen'er treated Yiyi.
But how many days can this guilt last? I'm afraid it will disappear in a flash like a shooting star.
Now I have adapted to this kind of life and don’t want to be disturbed anymore, and I don’t want to be sad anymore.
"……"emperor.
The queen rejected him and blamed him.
Seeing the emperor staring at the queen's back, Eunuch An came over.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go to Concubine Lan's place? You haven't been there for some time."
"Okay." The emperor nodded.
He ran straight to Concubine Lan's courtyard. There were so many women in the harem, and he couldn't do what Chen'er did to Yiyi.
In that case, he would not bother the queen. It was fine to maintain the status quo.
I followed Eunuch An to Concubine Lan's courtyard. Before I even stepped through the door, I heard voices from inside.
"My queen, why do you go to bed so early?" Dingxiang looked concerned.
The queen has been going to bed much earlier than before these past two days, and I don’t know why.
"I went to bed early because I was afraid that the emperor would come. You thought about turning off the lights in the yard in a while."
"Your Majesty, aren't you looking forward to the Emperor's coming?" Ding Xiang looked puzzled.
In the past, I was always sent to keep an eye on the emperor, for fear that he would go to another courtyard, but now that the queen said this, it seemed as if she hated the emperor.
"I'm looking forward to him! Humph! I can't even hide from him!" Concubine Lan curled her lips.
Whenever I think about how he made me suffer every time he came, I feel annoyed.
"Aren't you always getting along well with the emperor? I see that the emperor also likes the queen very much!" Dingxiang looked puzzled.
In the past, when I saw that the Empress and the Emperor were so happy together, I thought that she really loved the Emperor.
"Okay, humph! Silly girl, in this palace, there is no such thing as good without a purpose. Besides, if the emperor is really good to me,
Just depose that woman and let me be the queen." Imperial Concubine Lan curled her lips sarcastically.
There is no true love in this palace, let alone the emperor. What he usually does is just a show.
If he really treats her well, he will make her the queen.
“…” The emperor clenched his fists.
He clenched his back teeth tightly. He never expected that his most beloved Lan'er would be so hypocritical to him.
Eunuch An standing by was wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"..."
You are so rude! If the emperor had not been allowed to come here, this would not have happened. I am afraid that the emperor will be angry and take his anger out on me.
"Your Majesty, what if the Emperor comes over later?" Dingxiang glanced outside.
In the past, when the emperor came, he would probably be here by this time.
"Turn off the lights quickly. When the emperor comes, he will see that I have gone to bed and will not come in." Concubine Lan waved at Dingxiang.
These days, whenever I think about serving the emperor, I feel very resistant and even a little annoyed.
I just wanted to turn off the lights quickly to prevent the emperor from coming.
Eunuch An was about to speak when the emperor raised his hand to stop him. He turned around and strode out of the yard.
Seeing the emperor's angry figure from behind, Eunuch An was so scared that his neck almost shrank into his neck.
"..."
I shouldn't have said so much. The emperor will definitely get angry soon. I'm definitely not well anymore. The emperor is really angry right now.
"..."
He doted on Lan'er so much at the beginning that even the Queen was neglected.
I didn't expect that I didn't get any sincerity from her, and she even coveted the position of queen.
I used to laugh at Chen'er, but now I think I am the funny one. There are so many women in the harem, but not one of them is sincere to him.
Even the current queen no longer has him in her heart.
