As in her previous life in the great Qing dynasty, Emperor Kangxi was also affectionate and righteous towards Consort Liang, promoting her before her death, even making her one of the five people who were only promoted to consort. Unfortunately, when emperors discard someone, its just a sentence "Xin Zhe Ku Jian Fu" that sends them away.

  It can be seen that since ancient times, emperors have always been thin in their good fortune, and its not without reason. What Su Jing could do, and had to do, was to make this favor last a little longer.

  "The emperor nowadays likes to bully his concubines more and more."

  Zong Zhengjin held her in his lap. If it were someone else, he might have thought she was just putting on an act, saying things that werent true. But the person in front of him was obviously telling the truth.

  Ignoring her resentful little eyes, he hooked his mouth and said, "Because I find that Huier is getting more and more interesting."

  "Your Majesty, I am not a plaything," Su Jing pouted intentionally, puffing out her lips in discontent.

  Zong Zhengjins mouth curved even more, suddenly feeling extremely cute, and couldnt help but lean in for a kiss, "Hmmm, Ive never played with toys... only play with you."

  Su Jingxi lowered his head decisively under Hes teasing gaze, this guy is getting more and more skilled at flirting with people, how could he have thought him to be aloof and unpredictable in the past.

  Zong Zhengjins gaze could only see her slender white neck after she lowered her head, and he unconsciously dimmed his eyes, "Feier..."

  Su Jings voice suddenly became low and husky, with a hint of entanglement, as she slowly raised her head, "Your Majesty... are you..."

  "Its what you want, I dont mind satisfying one or two," he said, his big hands searching around her waist.

  Su Jing was still in a daze when her outer garment was skillfully stripped off by him, and she hurriedly covered her chest. "Your Majesty, its not time for dinner yet."

  Zong Zhengjin has never been one to humble himself. Since hes interested now, and shes his woman, he naturally wouldnt consider many things.

  Seeing her tightly covering her chest, he said softly, "Good girl, let go..."

  Su Jing knew that he couldnt change the emperors decision, and if he were to anger him at this critical juncture, the consequences would be unthinkable.

  She slowly loosened her grip, gazing at him timidly with tears welling up in her eyes, "Your Majesty..."

  Zong Zhengjin listened to her soft and gentle voice, his eyes misty with tears, faintly reflecting his shadow, his hands still moving but much gentler, "Dont be afraid, Im here."

  She put her hands around his neck, feeling that the time had come, and would no longer humiliate them, nor would she force herself.

  The two almost simultaneously let out a muffled hum, Zong Zhengjin has always liked "protracted warfare" in this matter, and the most exciting moment when encountering her is to see her change her expression because of him, layer by layer blooming.

  Su Jing couldnt help but hum a soft tune, her sweat slowly trickling down her forehead, while his sweat dripped onto her chest, scorching hot.

  …………

  After one round was over, Su Jings body still had some lingering warmth, but he didnt want to tidy himself up, and only his lower body was slightly disheveled, while his clothes were all properly dressed.

  Zong Zhengjin had her lean against his chest, even though both of them were sweating, this way wasnt comfortable. He gently stroked her smooth and white bare back, "Feier will really have to eat an extra bowl of rice later, otherwise how can she have enough energy."

  Su Jing rolled her eyes and didnt even bother to give him a glance, "No matter how much you eat, its still not comparable to the emperors astonishing physical strength."

  "Haha......" Zong Zhengjin burst out laughing, automatically interpreting this as praise. Almost no man dislikes his woman praising him in this aspect, including the emperor, who is no exception.

  "I will definitely feed Huier until she is full," only then will he be satisfied.

  At dinner time, he indeed started the feeding plan for Su Jing as he said. Not only did he order the imperial kitchen to send over several dishes that Su Jing loved to eat, but he also personally served her with his own hands.

  Not to mention Su Shunxian and Ting Yaos shock on the side, even Su Jingyu felt deeply honored and worried that tonight might really be a "long night".

  Zong Zhengjin did this for the first time, and as soon as he thought about it, he did it. He didnt care about other peoples gaze. The little woman in front of him was initially surprised, but she still accepted it calmly, which made him discover her difference from others once again.

  Maybe later he would discover more, this idea flashed through his mind.

  No matter how scared and nervous Su Jing was, no matter how hard she tried to delay the time, that moment would eventually come.

  …………

  On the second day, Su Jing still didnt go to pay her respects because she once again "fought fiercely" and overslept, of course, this was also under Zong Zhengjins tacit permission.

  As for what the queen would think, it was no longer within Su Jings consideration.

  After all, ones body is important, and the queen has a reputation for being wise and virtuous, at least openly she wouldnt deal with consorts like this.

  Unfortunately, the queens refusal didnt mean others wouldnt do it. Before an hour had passed after her departure, the palace was already spreading the rumor that Su Jing was "arrogant and disrespectful to the queen due to her imperial favor".

  Chonghua Palace

  "Your Ladyship, why did Madam Su knowingly allow such a situation to occur?"

  The Empress Shu smiled and did not answer her directly, but said seriously, "This is where she is clever, instructing that the people of Chonghua Palace are not allowed to discuss this matter, those who violate will be sent directly to Shenxing Temple."

  Lu Qing nodded and retreated, even if she didnt understand herself, but she also knew that her own mistresss actions were always correct. If everything could be guessed by a servant like her, then Lu Qing wouldnt just be a servant in the Heavy Fragrance Palace.

  Kunning Palace

  "Your Majesty, these rumors have spread far and wide, you should send someone to handle it......" Jin Momo saw the Empresss excited face after listening to Hui Zhus report, without considering the consequences of this matter.

  His Majesty took a deep breath, "How does this palace feel that Mu Mu has been liking to question this palaces decisions more and more recently?"

  Jin Momo hastily knelt down and knocked her head three times on the ground. "Your humble servant does not dare, please enlighten me, Your Ladyship."

  The queen adjusted the crimson gold inlaid jade drop earrings on her hands, a pair of slender white hands that were well-maintained and delicate. She knelt on the ground, "Quickly help nanny up, nanny is my wet nurse, she has always been thinking for me, I am naturally clear about it."

  Although thats what she said, Jinmomo knew that the empress was not as fond of her as before. The emperors love for his wife was dwindling day by day, and he was increasingly doting on other concubines. This probably blinded the empress, making her only see things in front of her and focus on suppressing the lady of Zuiyun Pavilion, forgetting what she should truly do as the empress.

  "This old servant understands her place, please forgive this old servant this time," Jin Momo said as she bumped into Hui Zhus arm and didnt get up, instead continuing to kowtow.

  The queen glanced at her, even if it was her own wet nurse, she was just a slave after all, and as a slave, she should know her place and do her duty.

  She got up and walked over, supporting herself with an empty gesture. "Mumu understands, thats good. In this palace, Im already finding it hard to take a step, really cant afford any mistakes at all. Mumu must understand my painstaking efforts."

  "Of course," said Jinmomo, nodding repeatedly, "Thats natural, I was at fault just now."

  "All right, I also know that Momo has put in a lot of effort. Huizhu, just tell everyone outside that Im not feeling well and have the imperial physician summoned."

  This is also a good excuse.

  The queen did not get angry again, and Jinmumu didnt mention that matter again. Huizhu and Huilin thought of ways to say some words that the queen loved to hear, and for a while, the atmosphere in the Kun Ning Palace was harmonious.

  Changchun Temple

  Xian Fei let Nai Mu Mu take the Second Princess down, after hearing the palace maids report, she sneered and smiled, "This palace thought the Empress was a clever person, but unexpectedly she turned out to be a foolish one."

  Anyone with a brain would realize that Su Jings not paying respects is the emperors will. Now, rumors are circulating in the harem, which is questioning the emperors decision. The empress not only didnt immediately handle it but also let things develop on their own.

  Even so, it was bad for Su Jings reputation, but Xianfei believed that in the end, the Empress would be the one to lose the most.

  "Are our people still there?"

  The palace maid beside Xianfei leaned in and whispered, "Replying to Your Ladyship, its still there, and hasnt been discovered yet."

  "Thats good, let him wait and see, I might have something to look for him recently."

  Zichen Hall

  Zong Zhengjin shook his head repeatedly, really didnt know what this empress was thinking, at this critical moment her body wasnt feeling well, an obvious excuse that couldnt be more obvious, if pursued forcefully, it could be considered deceiving the emperor.

  "Is she awake?"

  "Replying to Your Majesty, at this hour he should be awake."

  Recently, every time the emperor goes to Zuiyunwu, the "war situation" has to last for a long time. Su Guiren usually sleeps in for an extra hour on the second day, and even Su Shunian himself feels that he has been keeping watch for too long and wants to take a nap on the second day.

  Your Majesty, its really... a physically strong person.

  "Susu Xian, pass down the edict, tonight Zuiyunwu will be in charge of lighting the lanterns."

  Drunken Cloud Villa

  Su Jing woke up and dazedly listened to Dai Mans account of the rumors in the palace, smiled slightly, apparently not taking it seriously.

  Dai Man hurriedly asked, "Master, are you really going to do nothing?"

  "No need," Su Jingxiang and others helped her tidy up her hair, got up and walked towards the outer room, turned back and said, "Well, Daiman, go serve your masters meal first."

  Dai Man became even more worried after hearing this, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the outside servant announce that Su Gonggong had arrived.

  "The Emperor has decreed, tonight Drunken Cloud Pavilion will hold a lantern festival."

  Su Jing cupped her hands together in a gesture of respect and stood up, "Thank you, Sir Su."

  After exchanging a few pleasantries, Su Shunian excused himself and left first, citing that he had something to attend to.

  Its settled then, nothing needs to be done now, this imperial edict from His Majesty is a complete slap in the face.

  In return, Su Jingyun was even more cooperative tonight, and Zong Zhengjin naturally felt it. The feeling of being reciprocated was great, especially in this way, which made him cherish the woman under him even more.

  So sometimes its just like this when you see something that catches your eye.
