Chapter 1023: Chapter 1021: I Do Not Wish to Favor This Face
“You always coiled up at home, will not solve the problem, whether it be your unstable emotions during pregnancy or your fear, the issues between two people must ultimately be resolved. And now… with the emperor’s identity being different from that of Your Highness, as the Ninth Prince he was still in charge of his backyard, but as the emperor, both the front court and the harem are one. To ask the emperor to depose all six palaces for you is a bit…”
Su Han didn’t finish her sentence, but she believed Su Yingxue would understand.
That’s exactly what pained her!
Chu Yihan had sworn to her that in this life he would only take her as his wife, only love her.
But he never said that in this life, he wouldn’t take concubines, wouldn’t fill his harem, that there would be no other women.
They could be lifelong partners. Yet, in his harem, there could also be many other women.
“Now, many officials in the court must be eager to shove their daughters into his harem, right?” Su Yingxue felt even more stifled.
There was a hint of helplessness in Su Han’s tone, “You know this in your heart.”
They knew it, grandpa knew it, so the whole family was worried for her.
Qin Wan was waiting to hear the result from Su Yingxue’s conversation.
But now, the outcome of her entering the palace, whether for herself or for the Marquis’s Manor, wasn’t looking good.
If it were before, Su Han would definitely advise Su Yingxue to first secure her position as empress firmly.
But since her miscarriage, severing ties, leaving the Li Mansion, and then finding her own happiness, she has been deeply influenced by Su Yingxue’s “modern thinking” to this day.
In her heart, she held the same belief: only their own happiness was the most important.
“Yingxue, listen to sister, go to see the emperor more, you must convince yourself to share all the chaos in your heart with the emperor, break down the barriers between you two. In this way, no matter how many women there are in the emperor’s harem, you will still be his one and only irreplaceable ‘Empress’!”
“Really?”
Su Yingxue muttered softly.
After the little monster in her belly gave her trouble again, she vomited; Su Han helped her to lie down to sleep and then left.
As Su Yingxue lay in bed, staring at the empty canopy above, her gaze gradually sharpened from its initial vacancy.
A resolute thought formed in her mind: She must clarify things with Chu Yihan as soon as possible!
They needed to clear the air!
She wanted to be with her husband!
To hell with misunderstandings!
Chu Yihan couldn’t resist his longing for her eventually, even if he had to face the fact that she might have a place for Qin Muyan in her heart, or that she might still care about her guard Zi Wei. He couldn’t care less!
He no longer wanted to be apart from her for so long.
Chu Yihan left the palace lightly dressed, a black robe with embroidered cloud patterns appearing near the Marquis’s Manor. Just as he was about to enter, a handsome and dashing man with a fan stopped him.
“Your Majesty, what a coincidence to meet here. Grace me with your company for a cup of tea?”
This voice made Chu Yihan raise an eyebrow, “Zhuo Junli? A coincidence? Are you not on duty at the Imperial Academy today?”
He wasn’t an emperor obsessed with tracking his officials’ schedules, but this Zhuo Junli genuinely bothered him.
So, he exerted some pressure.
“Ah, Your Majesty, today is a day of rest. You are out of the palace, how could I still need to be on duty?” Zhuo Junli said with a smile, his demeanor refreshing and pleasant, successfully concealing his divergent nature.
Chu Yihan snorted lightly, “I don’t wish to grant you this face. You go back to the Imperial Academy and find something to do.”
