Chapter 1162: Chapter 1158: Give Half of Me to Her?
By her side, the maid Yu Lu said with a cold face, “Your Majesty need not envy the empress. Such a disposition of the empress, if spread, would only make people say she lacks manners! As the empress of the Great Cheng Dynasty, instead of advising the emperor, she seduces and bewitches him, letting him behave recklessly. This simply undermines the dignity of the imperial family!”
Leng Shuqing wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, a trace of coldness in her gaze, “Do you think the emperor would let such a thing be spread?”
Yu Lu was puzzled, “Would the emperor even bother with these trivial rumors?”
In this garden, there weren’t just a few people serving; there were many palace guards, and both her and Leng Shuqing. Would the emperor really go as far as to silence each of their mouths?
Leng Shuqing straightened her back and walked towards her own courtyard, replying coldly, “The emperor cherishes the empress’s reputation above all else. If you don’t want to bring disaster upon yourself, better keep your mouth shut tight!”
Yu Lu immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and bowed her head, “Yes, this maid will not utter a single word.”
If she slipped up one day, she might invite disaster, and it could also implicate Leng Shuqing.
Leng Shuqing returned to the courtyard room arranged for her by Chu Yihan, closed the door, and the jealousy that she had been suppressing finally overflowed.
Her tears poured down as she bit her lip, “Why…”
Why did Su Yingxue get so easily what she had dreamed of, what she had pleaded for in her dreams?
Even, she didn’t have to pay much for it!
She had traveled from the palace here, dressed up, sitting in a carriage for days and nights, not daring to waste even a moment for a sip of water or a rest, just to express her love to Chu Yihan in person.
But what had Su Yingxue done?
She did nothing! Holding a skewer of candied hawthorns, not even close to Chu Yihan, he would already move to embrace her, asking her for something to eat.
She couldn’t believe such a distinguished person as Chu Yihan would love to eat such dirty, messy street-food candied hawthorns; it was merely because he saw Su Yingxue liked them, it was just an excuse to go out and buy them!
To spend time alone with her, to pamper her, spoil her, indulge her.
Both being daughters of noble families, there was such a stark contrast between her and Su Yingxue!
Such a contrast… made her feel incredibly unjust!
She really hated, couldn’t contain her heart any longer, why… why on earth!
Why could Su Yingxue win such affection and favor from Chu Yihan?!
The resentment in Leng Shuqing’s heart burned like flames, her heart, her every nerve was scorched so painfully… so painfully that only bending over could provide some relief.
When the turbulence in her heart had been soothed, Leng Shuqing gradually regained her composure.
She took off her heavy Imperial Consort apparel, beginning her meticulous beauty care routine, she needed to ensure her appearance and body were in the best condition.
She was still young, and one day… one day, Chu Yihan would come to value her highly!
Su Yingxue… would definitely be discarded by him after he tired of her!
Su Yingxue was unaware that she had become such a thorn in Leng Shuqing’s eyes; she was just considering buying some pastries for Leng Shuqing while buying candied hawthorns, chatting with Chu Yihan, “Bringing the Imperial Consort all this way to substitute for me, is quite troublesome for her, she also hasn’t had dinner, let’s buy her some pastries, or maybe share a skewer of candied haw?”
Chu Yihan glared at her with a cold face, “Would you like to divide me in half for her as well?”
Really generous of her!
“I would divide you if I could, in the palace, I don’t see you staying a night at the other concubines’ places!” Su Yingxue rolled her eyes, who was he threatening?
