Chapter 324: Guar Jia Wen Yuan 8
Wen Yuan was secretly delighted, hum~ If she fights with her, Wanpin will be doomed!
Her face looked pitiful, with tears still hanging in the corners of her eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
She nodded gently, and seemed to be afraid that Yinzhen would not believe her, so she reached out and tugged at his sleeve, saying in a tender voice: "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to Jingren Palace to inquire."
"Humph, she is so bold that she dares to make up stories about you behind your back." Yinzhen snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain.
Yinzhen's fingers gently stroked Wen Yuan's cheek, his eyes so gentle that it seemed as if water could drip out.
He liked Wen Yuan's naivety, her recklessness, and even more her undisguised ambition and desire.
"Don't worry, I will keep my word." Yinzhen's voice was low and magnetic, with an irresistible temptation.
"Who is Wanpin to be compared with you? My heart and my people are all yours."
"Your Majesty..." Wen Yuan called out tenderly, but a cunning light flashed in her eyes.
In the half month that followed, Yinzhen never entered the harem again, but just stayed in the Yangxin Palace with Wen Yuan.
Being the only favorite for half a month made the atmosphere in the harem seem like it was burned by fire, full of anxiety and resentment.
The instigator of this fire, Guarjia Wenyuan, was now lazily leaning on the couch, enjoying the grapes peeled by Yinzhen himself.
"Your Majesty, do you think I am too bad?" Wen Yuan blinked her big watery eyes coquettishly, but her tone was full of undisguised pride.
Yinzhen put down the grapes in his hand, gently scratched her nose with his fingertips, and said in a doting tone: "My Yuan'er can do whatever she wants, why should she care about other people's opinions? What's more..."
"Which of those women doesn't envy you? Which one doesn't want to replace you? If you are not ruthless, how can you gain a foothold in this harem?" Yinzhen's fingers gently stroked Wen Yuan's cheek, and his tone was so gentle that it seemed to drip water.
Wen Yuan pretended to be shy and pushed his chest, saying coquettishly: "Your Majesty, how can I be as powerful as you say? I just thought that since Your Majesty likes my innocent nature, I will keep it that way, so that Your Majesty can be happy every day."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen burst into laughter, hugged Wen Yuan into his arms, bent down and kissed her forehead: "You are just good at talking like this, well, just go ahead and do it. If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility for you."
Wen Yuan sneered in her heart, but her face showed an expression of deep emotion: "Your Majesty, you are so kind to me!"
With Yinzhen's promise, Wen Yuan became even more unscrupulous. She relied on Yinzhen's favor to show off her power in the harem and ignored everyone.
The concubines who once flaunted their power in front of her were now defeated by her. Even the queen, who was always dignified and virtuous, was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
In the Yangxin Palace, Yinzhen was teaching Wen Yuan how to play chess with great interest.
He played the black pieces and Wen Yuan played the white pieces. The black and white pieces went back and forth on the chessboard, making it difficult to tell who was ahead.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of my move?" Wen Yuan deliberately placed a chess piece and asked in a delicate voice.
Yinzhen looked down and couldn't help laughing: "You little girl, you are cheating again. This move is clearly a dead end, but you insist on saying it is a brilliant move."
Wen Yuan was not annoyed, but said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me. I am clumsy, how can I compare with you in planning and winning battles thousands of miles away?"
Yinzhen was so amused by her that he pinched her nose and said, "You are so eloquent. I am almost bewitched by you."
Just then, Su Peisheng walked in hurriedly, looking a little flustered.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother sent someone to invite you over."
When Yinzhen heard this, the smile on his face gradually faded. He glanced at Wen Yuan and ordered, "You stay here obediently. I'm going to the Cining Palace."
Wen Yuan felt somewhat unhappy, but she did not dare to disobey and could only wait for him in the Yangxin Palace.
Inside the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager sat upright with a solemn expression.
"Emperor, I heard that you have been keeping Lipin in the Yangxin Palace recently?"
"In response to what the Empress Dowager said, I just think Wen Yuan is innocent and naive. Being with her helps me relax." Yinzhen answered carefully.
"Relax? Emperor, you are the ruler of a country, shouldering the responsibility of the country and the people. How can you just relax yourself?" The Queen Mother's tone was a little stern.
"There are three thousand beauties in the harem, but you only favor one. Where does this put the harem? Where does this put the family rules of our ancestors?"
Yinzhen was a little impatient, but facing the Queen Mother, his biological mother, he still had some respect, so he could only patiently explain: "Madam, I just..."
"Emperor, don't forget that you are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. You must live up to your ancestors and the country of the Qing Dynasty!"
The Queen Mother's voice echoed in the hall for a long time, and Yinzhen's expression became more and more ugly.
"I will keep in mind what the Empress Dowager has taught me." Yinzhen took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and replied respectfully.
"I hope you can understand that you are the emperor. You must put the country first and not be swayed by the personal feelings of your children." The empress dowager said earnestly.
Yinzhen remained silent. He knew the Queen Mother was right, but he could not control his heart.
After leaving the Cining Palace, Yinzhen went straight back to the Yangxin Palace. He was feeling very upset and just wanted to find someone to talk to.
"Where is Yuan'er?"
Su Peisheng was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother just specifically instructed you to..."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense! Yuan'er is still waiting for me in the Yangxin Palace." Yinzhen interrupted him impatiently.
Su Peisheng didn't dare to say anything more and quickly bowed and left.
Soon, Wen Yinzhen returned to the Yangxin Palace. As soon as he entered, Wen Yuan noticed that Yinzhen was not in a good mood, so she asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Did the Empress Dowager embarrass you?"
Yinzhen didn't say anything, but just stared at her closely with a complicated look that made Wen Yuan feel uneasy.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Before Wen Yuan finished her words, Yinzhen suddenly pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips.
This kiss was overbearing and passionate, with a hint of indescribable repression and madness, as if it wanted to swallow her whole.
Wen Yuan was startled by this sudden action. She struggled to push him away, but was held tightly by Yinzhen and could not move.
"Your Majesty, you...you hurt me..." Wen Yuan's voice had a hint of tears.
