Su Jing knew what her mother meant by the unfinished words, reporting happiness but not worry, it's not just her, exhausting all efforts for others, pitiful parental love, this sentence is always the same no matter when. Latest chapter full text.

  "My son, how are you in the palace? How is the Emperor treating you?" Su Shi asked in a low voice as she leaned over.

  Su Jingxiao revealed a smile, tightly grasping her mother's hands. "Mother dear, look at your daughter now, she has already reached the position of imperial concubine. The emperor even summoned me to serve him on New Year's Eve, and last night I also rested in the Guan Yun Palace. He treats me very well, Mother dear, don't worry. As for others, with the emperor around, they wouldn't dare do anything to me."

  "Mother knows, my daughter is certainly excellent, but my son should remember that a tall tree in the forest will be blown down by the wind. It's not bad to be low-key sometimes, but there must be a limit. Being overly tolerant can only make people take advantage of you and it's also not good for yourself."

  Su Jing nodded, Su's few words were the experience she had gained from living for so many years, listening very seriously, occasionally echoing a sentence or two. She glanced at the hourglass placed aside and said, "Mother, have some tea, this is the top-grade Pu'er that the Emperor rewarded last year. If Mother drinks some to calm down, I'll bring some back later."

  Su heard the sound and picked up the cup, touching the plain yellow glass tea bowl. Although the style was not particularly rare, the material was precious. He casually swept his eyes over the decorations in the room, and none of them were not fine pieces, only then did he slightly put his mind at ease.

  Su Jingxiang's words did not stop her mother from sizing her up, sometimes saying more was less convincing than seeing with one's own eyes, "Mother, use some tact."

  "I'll let Yinger bring over some high-quality bird's nest and other medicinal herbs, Mother can take them back to nourish her body, it's necessary."

  Su shook her hand repeatedly, "You'd better keep it for yourself, we have all these things at home. You're still young this year, and you're in the prime of your life. Don't..."

  "Mother, this is a token of my daughter's heart, don't refuse it. Besides, there are many more things in the warehouse," Su Jing broke into her mother's words, holding her mother's arm and shaking it gently.

  "Alright, alright, I agree. You must take good care of yourself and not suffer alone. If there's anything, just let someone come to the Su household and say so. Your father and two brothers may not be capable of much, but we can still lend a hand if needed. Don't always bear everything by yourself."

  She knew that this sentence was just a white command, her own daughter understood herself, and she would not seek help from her family when she had difficulties.

  The farewell is imminent, and the time for reunion is always short. Thinking that it will take another year for the mother and daughter to meet again, it seems like an eternity. Su Jing leaned into Su's arms, "Mother, I know you and Father need to take care of your health too, but I haven't taken good care of you yet."

  "Alright, mother knows," Su's tears flowed again, turning her head to one side. "Listen, Yao, you are from the Su family, you must serve Miss well. If you're willing, Master and I have discussed it, we can let your parents be worshipped in the Su family ancestral hall."

  Ting Yao was taken aback, and hastily knelt on the ground. "Madam has wronged me, I am willing to swear with my life that I will protect Master and serve him till death, please sir and madam rest assured."

  Su Jing couldn't help but shed tears and hugged Su Shi, "Mother".

  A mother's love for her child is not about reciprocation. The deep and profound love that parents have for their children does not seek reward. She was fortunate to live in an era where she could still meet such a pair of parents.

  "My daughter is gone, you must take good care of yourself," said Su Shi, using her handkerchief to wipe away her tears as she smiled.

  Su Jing nodded vigorously, "Yes, Mother and Father will definitely be fine too. I'll wait here for the good news of my two brothers."

  "Alright, alright," Su said, turning her head three times as she stepped out of the palace gate. At that moment, she wiped away her tears, believing that her daughter would be fine in this palace.

  Su Jingxiang and others returned to their inner chamber in a daze after they could no longer see the back of Su Shi, lay down on the couch and closed their eyes.

  Zong Zhengjin walked in and saw her sitting on one side, not angry at all. He forcibly picked her up and put her on his lap, "Want to sleep?"

  Su Jing shook her head and lowered her head without speaking.

  Zong Zhengjin inexplicably got a bit angry, raised her chin and said "What's wrong with you?"

  Is her family more important than him?

  Su Jing couldn't control herself, two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks, and she rushed over to hug his neck, "Your Majesty"

  Zong Zhengjin was taken aback, realizing that her thick collar was wet. He patted her back stiffly until they were face to face, but she had tears in her eyes, a misty haze, and a red nose. She sighed, and with his thumb, he carefully wiped away her tears. "Sorry."

  Su Jing buried her face in his chest and sobbed, "I just miss my mother, I don't want her to leave."

  "What about me?"

  Su Jing blinked her eyes, somewhat not understanding his meaning. Seeing that he didn't intend to explain, she could only try to answer, "I also want the Emperor, but the Emperor hasn't left yet."

  Zong Zhengjin saw her completely out of sorts and felt annoyed, obviously dissatisfied with this answer. "What if I leave?"

  "Don't," Su Jing could only understand the surface meaning of his words, tightly hugging his neck. "Your Majesty, don't leave me, I'll be sad."

  Zong Zhengjin heard her muffled voice, especially after she finished speaking and cried even harder, somewhat helplessly, "But your mother left, aren't you also sad?"

  "It's different," Su Jing said, shaking her head on his shoulder, causing his body to sway along with it.

  "My mother has left me, I will be sad and heartbroken, but perhaps one day we can still reunite. But if the Emperor were to leave me, I would be in unbearable pain, perhaps I wouldn't even survive."

  The last few words were extremely light, but Zong Zhengjin still heard them and put them in his heart. After the initial shock, he realized that she had interpreted the "leaving" of the two people in different ways. He should have been angry, but unexpectedly felt a strong sense of tenderness, without any intention of blaming her.

  "I will not leave."

  Su Jing nodded heavily, "Long live your majesty."

  She had just thought about it, and he would leave. She was as if she were in a trance, and it seemed that she really couldn't live without him. From the beginning, she had told herself not to be emotional and to guard her heart, but how easy is that?

  Even as an emperor, with three thousand beauties in the harem, he wasn't her ideal husband. But precisely because he was an emperor, his kindness to her was all the more precious, luxurious and rare. So, whether it was a big thing or a small thing, she was easily moved by him.

  She didn't even know when she started losing her heart and moving her emotions, but she knew that all of those things had happened, really and truly happened.

  Maybe it's not deep love yet, but at least I've already fallen in love. Whether it's just a dream or not, the feeling has been deeply rooted.

  Zong Zhengjin found her silly and amusing, and for the first time, he looked forward to living forever, even though he knew it was impossible. At least, he had to live longer than her, otherwise, with her temperament, she would not be able to bear it.

  "I will not leave as long as you are alive." As long as she remains this way, unchanged.

  It's already a very solemn promise, Su Jing's heart was once again defeated, and she didn't want to delve into the emotions or implications behind it, so she just let things continue to intensify.

  "Mmm," Su Jing leaned against his chest, and the two of them quietly hugged each other, warm and intimate.

  Changchun Temple

  "Your Majesty, as you expected, the Emperor has indeed gone to Guan Yun Palace again and stayed inside for almost an hour before returning to Zichen Hall," said Qing Yi, walking in.

  Xian Fei took off the pearl hairpin on her head, "It seems that our Shu Gui Fei has a strong opponent now."

  "Your Majesty, don't you think that what the Emperor is doing might just be a ruse?" Qing Yi asked, voicing her inner doubts.

  Xian Fei let out a soft laugh, "In this palace, everyone is used to making things more complicated than they need to be. That's why sometimes we can't see the essence of the problem. Sometimes, simplicity is what allows us to truly understand many issues."

  "You still have a lot to learn," Xian Fei said, turning her head to the person standing beside her. "You all think that the Emperor is just using Su Jing as a shield, but you haven't thought about who he's really using her as a shield for. These people have been in the palace for so long, except for Guan Yu Gong, can you see who else the Emperor is particularly pleased with?"

  "The empress said that the emperor truly likes Zhen Ronghua"

  Xian Fei shook her head, a sarcastic expression on her face. "Perhaps she likes him, but the Emperor has many people he likes, too numerous to count."

  Seeing that she still didn't quite understand, I continued to explain, considering her good mood. "The emperor is heartless; you should always remember this phrase. It took me a lifetime to realize it myself. The people who cannot be said to love are the emperors, and those who will not love are also the emperors."

  "But the emperor seems to be treating Shu Guifei..." Qing Yi looked puzzled, and stopped halfway through her sentence. She carefully observed the expression on her face, and only slightly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw nothing out of the ordinary.

  Xian Fei sneered, "Just wait and see, Su Jing will be the second Shu Gui Fei. Perhaps at this moment, Shu Gui Fei is regretting why she didn't take action to get rid of that person back then. Now it's not easy for her to make a move."

  "'Wise words, Your Highness,'" the maid replied with a mixture of understanding and confusion, but still flattered her, for she had been serving the virtuous imperial consort for many years and knew exactly what kind of words she loved to hear.

  As expected, Xian Fei hooked the corner of her mouth, "You watch closely, I also want to prove a point, see if that person in Guan Yu Palace is really the emperor's heart's desire."

  Qing Yi leaned in, listened to Xian Fei's whispers for a few sentences, and nodded repeatedly. "Your Highness is indeed extremely intelligent, I will definitely handle things well and not disappoint Your Highness's trust."

  Xian Fei nodded and smiled, "Mm, go quickly, I can't wait to see the good show."
