"Your majesty, chenqie will do her best to give you a 'home'!" Wei Yi Yi said, getting caught in the momentum.
A resolute attitude mix with a sincere expression. When she looked at her with heartfelt devotion, Jiang Yu was momentarily bewitch.
It was different from her lovestruck appearance from before.
Deep inside of him, he heard something fall and shattered. Like a simple drop of a pin. A quite and low pitch, but disturbing as it echoes.
How many years have they known each other? Why is it that only now did he notice this side of her? Then, was all those years wasted?
With a painful expression, he apologized for the time they wasted. "My empress, I have neglected you."
"Zhen...." He wanted to make it up for her, to give her some promises. Wei Yi Yi is his legal wife. Saying that he respected her all this time was nothing but halfhearted excuses.
But then, how about Ye Ai Ning? Jiang Yu was torn. He wanted them to live in harmony. Even if it's just the two of them out of all of his consorts, he wish they would see each other as sisters.
"About Imperial noble consort Ye..." Jiang Yu felt like it was wrong of him to speak about others right now. Maybe he was ruining their good mood. But then---- there are things needed to be clear! "About zhen and her--- she's.... my empress, you are----..."
But then, he does not know which one he should start with!
Seeing Jiang Yu flustered face while trying his best to explain things in a way that wouldn't offend her, Wei Yi Yi remembered Lan Zhuang.
Since kindergarden, there's a girl that have been attending the same class with Lan Zhuang year after year. Her name is Qing Xiang.
'Little girl, are you waiting for your older brother? He's helping the teacher at the moment but he'll be back soon.' Qing Xiang mistook Wei Yi Yi as Lan Zhuang real sister. She assured Wei Yi Yi that her 'brother' is coming, that she was not abandoned or that her brother did not run off and left her to play.
A very caring older sister. Wei Yi Yi got attached to this very gentle person.
Since then Wei Yi Yi pestered Lan Zhuang about Qing Xiang. After knowing about what a 'girlfriend' is, Wei Yi Yi then keep asking whether they have feelings for each other.
Countless times, Lan Zhuang told her that she's just a classmate or a friend. And that she should stop having ideas.
Wei Yi Yi almost gave up on having an elder sister until Lan Zhuang sat with her to talk.
It was the first time, that the ever so serious Lan Zhuang was lost for words. Maybe he was ashame on taking back his words or maybe he felt guilty on denying his feelings, but he talked in circles and state so many excuses.
Wei Yi Yi found it funny and let him blabber until he notice that she's laughing at him. Of course, she was scolded after but Lan Zhuang was no longer awkward.
"Do you love her?" Wei Yi Yi asked the same thing she asked Lan Zhuang that day.
Does it matter how or why you like a person? As long as you love that person, that's all the reason you need, right?
Lan Zhuang and Qing Xiang's relationship would always leave Wei Yi Yi a bittersweet taste.
Becuase in Qing Xiang's whole life, Lan Zhuang was her only man. And so does Lan Zhuang's.
"Love?" Jiang Yu was taken aback. His thoughts were then filled with the person dwelling at Zhu Yu Palace.
He think back about their childhood, about he days where all they have is each other. He remembered every promises that were made and the things that he wanted to give her; the best of everything, that only she deserves.
All of his memorable days were spend with her.
Ye Ai Ning is beautiful and captivating. Every time she smiled at him, Jiang Yu would always feel a tingling sensation. Only her, was so special.
With a soft expression, he replied, "I do."
Since his empress asked him directly, he felt obligated to be honest with her. Still, Jiang Yu expects some violent reaction from Wei Yi Yi like how she would always react. But she only told him, "Then, emperor do cherish her more."
Wei Yi Yi felt a tugging sensation in her chest. She took a sip of her tea then continued, "As your empress, chenqie will wholeheartedly support you."
'Will wholeheartedly push you to her!'
Showing an earnest expression while claiming his love, yet he made another woman his legal wife. He also collected a number of concubine. Wei Yi Yi would never believe this so called love.
Who need such halfhearted love? That 'Wei Yi Yi' have a few loose crews in her head!
Love is fleeting and uneasy to hold. If you don't watch it carefully, it will slip pass your hands.
Anyway, it does not matter, as love and work are different. A person's sexual life cannot be use to judge a person as a whole.
And since he says this much, then that's all that matter! If Wei Yi Yi could make him just focus on Ye Ai Ning, not only this mushroom would stop pumping out of nowhere, she would not need to care if she make trouble for her other 'officemates'!
If your boss keep showing at the door of your office, who wouldn't have anxiety attack? Wei Yi Yi had it since the first one!
That thing with Feng Lei almost kill her with heart attack!
All this time, she carefully took care of the harem while making sure she wouldn't tip the scale. But now that she have her confirmation, she could just focus on pairing them, no?
Boss should have lay down all the clauses on the contract since the start, ah!
Wei Yi Yi got hyped up while Jiang Yu felt thankful, for the first time, that Wei Yi Yi is his empress.
