Chapter 272 Xie Yu agrees
Xie Yu turned his head and looked at Lin Junxue with red eyes. Although he had said harsh words, the anxiety and fragility in those red eyes still softened his heart.
Lin Junxue looked at Xie Yu, who didn't move. However, his subtle expression was obviously different from before. She knew that Xie Yu's anger had mostly subsided.
She took another step forward, stretched out her hand cautiously and tentatively, touched it lightly with her fingertips, and quickly withdrew her hand.
The whole operation was smooth and flowing, and the cautious woman who was afraid of the emperor's wrath and full of admiration was vividly portrayed.
Xie Yu looked at her with a gaze that became increasingly deep and gloomy.
He never cared about the tears of women in this world. In the past, he cared even less about Jun'er.
But now, Jun'er's tears made him feel inexplicably irritated and a little more distressed.
This emotion made him feel a little uneasy, he thought.
In the past, he asked his father why he doted on his mother for so many years?
The emperor looked at him in silence for a long while, and finally, he spoke.
"My son, your father has seen countless women in his life, and there are all kinds of concubines in the harem, but your mother has won your father's heart. Who can explain the love between men and women in this world? Even if your father knows that your mother's hands are not clean, and he has fallen in love with your mother, your father is happy to accept it and is willing to play dumb."
At that time, he, the crown prince who was about to succeed to the throne, scoffed at his father's words.
Women are just embellishments.
It was my father who was foolish. In order to favor my mother, he promoted her family.
My father, the emperor, also doted on my mother, the queen, for twenty years.
It was absolutely impossible for him to fall in love with a woman, but now, he seemed to understand what his father meant.
Next second
Xie Yu's eyes darkened. He was not the father, and Jun'er was not the mother.
He will not influence political affairs for Jun'er. He must deal with the Lin family in the future.
Now, Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue in front of him with complicated expressions in his eyes.
Lin Junxue lowered her head, her shoulders trembling.
This is a silent confrontation and game between two people.
for a while
Xie Yu moved. He took two steps forward, pressed Lin Junxue's shoulders, and hugged her in his arms.
Lin Junxue leaned her head on Xie Yu's chest, and the corners of her mouth slowly curved up.
Xie Yu had so-called love for her, and she could rely on this love to plan what she wanted while keeping a sense of propriety and bottom line.
Today, this incident proved that her previous guess was correct.
Xie Yu was indeed attracted to her, which was great, as it gave him one more bargaining chip.
Xie Yu's low voice sounded faintly above her head.
"Jun'er, what should I do with you? Once you cry, my heart softens and I am no longer angry. Please don't cry."
The confrontation between the two ended with Xie Yu's concession again.
When Lin Junxue heard this, she was still a little surprised, but it was fleeting.
She was not moved at all by Xie Yu's words.
Who doesn't know how to say nice things? But when it comes to killing her, Xie Yu won't remember a single bit of the sweet words he once said.
Lin Junxue raised her head, her eyes full of love, and without saying anything, she stood on tiptoes and pressed her lips against Xie Yu's chin.
Xie Yu closed his eyes tightly, and then the desire in his eyes was out of control.
He lowered his head and kissed Lin Junxue's tender pink lips fiercely.
Xie Yu became more and more indulged, but Lin Junxue's eyes remained clear without the slightest desire.
Playing on occasion, never taking it to heart
a while
Xie Yusong and Lin Junxue
Lin Junxue shyly turned her head away, her face slightly red, like a bullied punching bag, cute and lovely
At this moment, Xie Yu's anger completely disappeared.
Lin Junxue deliberately asked, "Your Majesty, are you no longer angry?"
Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "I am not angry anymore."
After receiving Xie Yu's answer, Lin Junxue wiped away her tears and smiled.
"I have finally managed to appease the Emperor. Otherwise, I would have been very scared of your stingy attitude just now."
Xie Yu said, "You know that I am soft-hearted. Next time, don't cry for others. You are the queen, and your tears are worth a thousand gold. Those insignificant people are not worth it. You can only cry for me."
Lin Junxue smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty, I remember what you said."
Anyway, the tears are fake and it doesn't matter who you cry for. It's just a way to deal with Xie Yu.
Seeing that Lin Junxue agreed, Xie Yu was satisfied and hugged her again.
One night of spring breeze
Second day
After Xie Yu went to court, Lin Junxue slept for a while. After she got up, Qiao Xin helped her get dressed.
Lin Junxue had just finished her breakfast when the imperial edict came down from Taiwu Palace.
Xie Yu ordered Gu Mo to leave the palace in three days and go to the Royal Temple to pray for the royal family. He was not allowed to return to the palace for the rest of his life.
After listening to this, Lin Junxue nodded slightly.
"Go to the private storehouse and select some jewelry for Noble Lady Mo. It's just a token of my appreciation. Although the Royal Temple is a quiet place, it also requires money. Noble Lady Mo will be there for the rest of her life. In the future, if she has more money, her life will be better. Tell Noble Lady Mo to take all the valuables with her."
Lin Junxue thought back to the modern times, in a palace fighting drama.
The heroine who wanted to play true love in the palace fight was framed and sent to the cold palace. She had nothing to bring with her but armor, and she had to be decent.
No matter where you are, money is a good thing. If it can make your life better, why should you live a hard life?
Sometimes, it's okay to have a noble character, but if you can't make a living and still cling to your so-called noble character, then you are sick.
Qiao Xin nodded, and while serving tea, she said, "Your Majesty, I understand. I will prepare the things and send them to Noble Lady Mo in a moment. I will tell Noble Lady Mo what Your Majesty said. Now, Noble Lady Mo's wish has been fulfilled, and your planning yesterday was not in vain. Yesterday, with the Emperor's expression, I thought this matter would not be accomplished."
Lin Junxue picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, put it down, and spoke softly.
"The Emperor doesn't care about Concubine Mo because she was framed and disfigured. So, he is not willing to break the rules for Concubine Mo. Of course, the Emperor is also angry that Concubine Mo wants to go to the Royal Temple to pray for blessings. Even if Concubine Mo is not favored, she is still a concubine in the harem. In the eyes of the Emperor, even if a concubine in the harem is not favored, she will die of old age in the palace."
Grain Rain serves cakes
"What the queen said is true. How many concubines, both favored and unfavored, are imprisoned in the cold palace? It is a luxury for the concubines in the harem to have a better outcome and die of old age with dignity. It is a good outcome for Concubine Mo to leave the palace and go to the royal temple. At least, she can live the rest of her life in peace. The queen is kind-hearted and gave Concubine Mo a chance to live."
Danzhen followed up with, "Guyu is right, Madam. In two days, it will be the ceremony for the enthronement of Concubine Lan. Madam's gift has not been prepared yet, but we need to choose one from the private storehouse?"
Lin Junxue thought about it
"I remember that my sister-in-law gave me a pair of gilded bamboo stands with coiled flowers and a purple gold embossed bracelet as part of the dowry. Find these two things."
