Chapter 3 — The Emperor's White Moonlight Returns, So Let's Play One More Game
I ignored the discontent evident in his eyes. Sometimes I really don't understand why I loved him to death in my previous life. Obviously, if you just pay a little attention, you'll find evidence that he doesn't love me everywhere.
“The Emperor keeps coming to Dung Phi's place…”
I took a step forward and just as I was helping him grind the ink, my words were interrupted before I finished speaking.
"What? Does the Queen want to be jealous?"
The pen that was critiquing Te Duc's chapter stopped. He raised his head to look at me, a smile on his lips. But that smile never reached the bottom of the eyes, it only made people's hearts cold. I used to be very jealous. It's just that before, he always carefully smiled and coaxed me. And now, there is only more disgust and sarcasm.
"I just want to remind Your Majesty, so it's best to banish the rain."
The speed of grinding the ink in our hand remains unchanged.
"The previous dynasty and the harem had a close relationship. Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, people's hearts were still unstable. If only because of one single pet, chaos would arise..."
When there was no one in the harem, he only favored Tu Huu Dung, of course there was no problem. But now there are so many concubines, the concubines are cold. What will the mother clan behind them think? Saying any more will become a political discussion. So we stop. But even though I didn't say it all, Te Duc still understood. His face immediately changed, lacking confidence and said:
“It was my negligence.”
Qi Duc is indeed not a talented person to rule the country. A beneficial relationship is so simple, but it takes me reminding to think of it. But words that should be praised must still be praised. Eye drops should still be small.
"The Emperor is busy with thousands of things and can't help but separate himself, so of course it's hard to pay attention to small things like that."
I took the inkstone, added more ink and then returned it to Te Duc's hand.
“It's just that Princess Dung is smart, she should have known better.”
Qi Duc's eyes darkened, then indifferently shook his head.
"Huu Dung has a calm personality and will not pay attention to these things."
I didn't say anything, I just silently mocked myself in my heart. What a deep and meaningful love. As expected, it's not like just a few sentences from me can separate us.
“Today is the first day…”
According to rites, he should go to Vi Uong palace tonight. But now I don't want to have to meet him.
"Thuan Tan has an arrogant personality. For the past month, she has been telling me that she admires the Emperor. Maybe the Emperor should come visit her."
This is the first time I have rejected Qi Duc like this.
“The Queen seems to have changed, now she understands much more.”
Qi Duc raised his eyebrows, his face still had a smile, but his eyes looking at me were filled with suspicion. Understand what? It's just that I saw it through. In the past, because he wanted to ascend the throne, Qi Duc was willing to condescend to me. Now, because he wants the court to be stable, he is of course willing to grant favors to others. That night, he turned over Thuan Tan's card. Niem Chau did as I arranged, let the palanquin take Thuan Tan to the palace and deliberately circled around Tru Tu palace a few more times. It is said that the torches at Can Thanh Palace shine all night long. The red candles in the Tru Tu Palace seemed to burn for almost the entire night. The next morning, when the concubines came to pay their respects, I rewarded Thuan Concubine with a string of pomegranate bracelets, signifying that she had died. happiness. She is the youngest. Originally soft and tender like newly bloomed petals, now it is even more like a flower that has just opened its pistil, making people love it. When she looked at Tu Huu Dung with a proud and provocative expression, she truly looked so young and beautiful. From beginning to end, Tu Huu Dung's face still maintained a dignified smile. It's just that her skin was white as snow, so the faint dark circles under her eyes became even more prominent. Even if you apply a thick layer of white powder, it cannot completely cover it. The resentment in our hearts has lessened a lot. Tu Huu Dung is not a generous-hearted person after all. Otherwise, in her previous life, she would not have hated me so much, nor would she have harmed me so much. Now Thuan Tan is just the beginning. Later, there were countless other women in the harem. I want to see how you will cope. More than a month later, although Qi Duc still regularly visited Tu Your Dung, most of the time he was busy calling different concubines. As for me, his wife... I'm afraid he has long forgotten everything.
