"Why is he here today?" Jin Chupei revealed a questioning look.

"We'll know when we get in." Sun Jinzi could still hold on.

She thought of all the ways the Emperor could come up with to make things difficult for her.

"childrens pays his respects to royal father. Long live the Emperor."

Jin Chupei and Sun Jinzi kneeled down together.

At this time, the Emperor of the Imperial study was dressed in a golden dragon robe and was sitting in front of the two curling books within the rosewood.

"Rise." After all, he was an Emperor, so he naturally wasn't like a woman. He liked to do some small things when saluting.

"Seeing you two, husband and wife, living in harmony with each other, I am relieved." The emperor seemed to be really happy, and the corners of his eyes were filled with happiness.

However, Sun Jinzi could tell that he wasn't really happy, he was just pretending.

His heart was full of hatred, anger, and depression. That was why he had pretended to be so perfect.

It could be said that the calmness of the emperor's expression showed how unhappy he was.

"It was all thanks to royal father's pity." It was rare for Jin Chupei to have a conversation with the emperor, for Sun Jinzi's sake.

He wanted to use his good attitude to exchange for Sun Jinzi's imperial edict for a first rank prince's consort.

"Oh right, when your Sixth Prince's Estate was initially divided, it was extremely big. Now, only your Sixth Prince's Consort is living with you, I'm afraid it's too lonely."

The emperor timely stopped talking.

Actually, this kind of matter of giving his son a woman was most suitable for him to let the Queen do. However, for some reason, even after thinking for a long time, the Emperor still did not place this annoying matter onto the Empress Zhuang.

For the most part, he truly loved her.

"Thank you for your concern, royal father. I am not alone."

"This is the imperial edict." The emperor's topic quickly changed and he was as quick as lightning.

Immediately, an attendant raised his hands high above his head and presented it.

The content on it was obviously to confer Sun Jinzi the title of Sixth Prince's Consort, and to enjoy the privileges and benefits of a first rank Crown Prince's consort.

However, after the bestowal of the imperial edict, the attendants behind him had not stopped.

He then started to ramble on.

"I am from the Sixth Prince's Consort and have specially bestowed upon me, lateral consort, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites, lateral consort, my name is Wen."

Thunderstorm Dew was an imperial grace, no one could refuse it.

"royal father." Of course Jin Chupei would reject him. Did he think that he was the First Prince? He could play however he wanted.

Sun Jinzi was also not satisfied.

In her previous life, she already knew that this Emperor of the Jin Dynasty had some use when she was young. She was able to withstand humiliation from the outside world and take back the lost land. When his princes grew older, he would grow old day by day, even not sparing to play with power amongst his sons and tease them.

It allowed them to see the seating position of the storage monarch, but no one knew who exactly it was that could sit on it.

"This is the imperial edict." The Emperor turned around with an extremely dignified and serious expression.

"Quick, thank you." Sun Jinzi pulled Jin Chupei.

There was no room for rejection.

"Zi Er, I can't let you down." She had just married into his mansion, yet she was already slapped in the face. The one slapping her in the face was his own father.

Sure enough, there would never be any true feelings within the royal family. There would only be one way to make use of them.

"Your Highness, don't be stubborn." It wasn't worth it for her.

"I'm not answering." Jin Chupei kneeled down heavily. When he said that he wouldn't accept it, he really planned on not accepting it.

"If she doesn't accept it, her position as crown prince's consort won't be stable either."

The Emperor spoke coldly. The people he wanted to take care of, he had never been unable to do so in his entire life.

"Your Highness …" Sun Jinzi was not very interested in the position of Crown Prince Consort, but, if Jin Chupei were to continue, the Emperor would probably get angry.

Right now, their abilities were limited. It was impossible for them to fight the Emperor head on.

"Yes, Your Highness. Please." Sun Jinzi's eyes were slightly red. She felt worse than anyone else.

Her and Jin Chupei's good days had just come to an end, but she realized that all of this was really just a reflection of the moon in the water.

She could only choose to accept it passively.

"Alright, I'll answer it." Jin Chupei clenched his teeth, he finally understood that he had to accept the order, so he might as well accept it. In any case, he was just a mere girl, what he wanted to do with his, it was not up to him to decide.

"Treat her well." The Emperor added.

This sixth son was too similar to him when he was young.

Once a decision was made, even ten oxen would not be able to pull it back.

He only hoped that the Minister of Rites's second daughter was smart and it would be best if he could pull Sun Jinzi down.

He looked at Sun Jinzi, that coquettish appearance, it was really not a woman that he liked.

After the two of them accepted the order, the atmosphere between the two of them immediately dropped to the lowest point. Everyone was in a good mood.

Originally, after exiting the Imperial study, he should have made a trip to the Empress Zhuang's palace.

However, when the Empress Zhuang heard that the Emperor had already bestowed a lateral consort to the Sixth Prince, he immediately stopped thinking about letting them go.

"Aren't we intentionally asking them to come here to cause trouble?" Empress Zhuang knew that she was forced into a corner by a woman. As a man, she was probably not in a good mood.

She wanted to put on the dignity of a queen in front of them, but it was always possible to put it off at this point.

"Send the word down, This Palace is not feeling well, and will not see guests."

Jin Chupei and Sun Jinzi did not mind the Palace Mistress' words. They were not in the mood for it now.

This lateral consort was really efficient, on the third day after the two's wedding, she was carried in by a small sedan chair carried by four people.

Even though the Minister of Rites Palace wanted to accompany them with some dowry, they had never gone through the main gate. Since their highness had said so, they could only go through the back door.

At that time, Minister of Rites fainted right after returning to his residence.

His second daughter, who was like a pearl or a treasure, had been disgraced like this. He was truly …

As long as he thought of the days that followed, he wouldn't feel teary.

He didn't know whether he should hate the Emperor, meddle in his family affairs as he pleased, or should he blame the His Highness the Sixth Prince for not giving him enough face as an old man.

In short, his second daughter had entered the Sixth Prince's Estate and had not come out.

"Empress, Li side is standing outside. She said that she wanted to pay respects to you."

After Senior Servant Liu saw that Sun Jinzi was ready, he came in to pass on his message.

"Please go back. No need." Sun Jinzi was not a generous person, to brazenly come in and share with her husband, how could she treat him well?

"Empress, she knelt down. She said that if Sir does not see her, she will kneel down and not rise." Senior Servant Liu was panicking.

This was the third day since lateral consort entered the room. Two days ago, Master said that he would not see her.

But today …

"Two days ago, His Highness had to go to work and left early. Today, His Highness has to go to the military camp and tell me some things. After that, he will be back very soon."

The moment he came back, she was kneeling in the middle of the courtyard. No matter which door Jin Chupei came in from, he would be able to immediately see her kneeling there in a delicate and weak manner.

He really couldn't tell.

This Li family's girl really had some skill.

She had already set up a game of chess for her without batting an eyelid.

But unfortunately, no matter how shrewd her calculations were, so what?

No matter how well the chessboard was arranged, or how disobedient the chess pieces were, she was unwilling to be her chess piece. What could she do?

It was just a joke.

If Jin Chupei was Jin Chuao, maybe, he would eat this trick, but unfortunately …

The corner of Sun Jinzi's mouth curved into a smile, but just as she had covered it up, she could hear someone calling out to him, "Your Highness, how are you?"

"Your Highness …" The voice was sad and gentle. It was gentle and melodious.

Sun Jinzi, who was a woman, was emotionally moved when she heard this.

"Who are you?" Jin Chupei was a little displeased. He had just returned from the army camp and was clad in silver white armor.

"Your concubine is Your Highness's lateral consort." Li side was soft and weak, with only a few words, but it caused her to speak a whole circle.

"Chief Consort is the only one. I don't need him."

Jin Chupei's voice carried a natural tone.

He took a glance inside the courtyard. The light blue brocade curtain was swaying with the wind, blocking the view of the main house completely, making it impossible to see what was going on inside. Furthermore, Zi Er had not come out to greet him.

Jin Chupei acted as if he was worried about something, and the look in his eyes towards Li side became more and more unsightly.

A lateral consort actually dared to openly wear red? Even if it was peach red, it was enough to cause one's eyes to be piercing.

As for her appearance, she kept her head down, exposing only her snow-white neck. She thought herself as the weakest and most pleasing, but she did not know that when there was truly someone else in one's heart, only that person was a goddess.

"Leave now, don't let me say it again." Jin Chupei immediately lifted his robe and entered the main house.

"Your Highness …" "This concubine asks for nothing else but to pay respects to the Empress."

If she were to say that she was a lateral consort now, she would simply be a lateral consort that could not be acknowledged by the Chief Consort.

She really wanted to curse at Sun Jinzi. How could she dare?

However, she wasn't even willing to drink a cup of tea. Even though she had been in Sixth Prince's Estate for three days, she hadn't seen him.

"Your Highness."

"Please leave, Li side, don't make things difficult for this servant." Mu Tan chuckled as she walked over. She clasped his hands behind her back and stood there, looking respectful, but in reality, she looked down on them.

"Hmph, dog slave, do you really need to bother with the matters of this lateral consort?"

There was no man who didn't like being fresh. When she told the Sixth Prince that he was tired of that bitch Sun Jinzi all day, it would be time for her to do whatever she wanted.

She waited.

"Please …" Mu Tan saw that the woman's gaze was getting sharper and colder by the second, and couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.

When Jin Chupei entered, he saw that Sun Jinzi was standing in front of another window railing, and was able to see the place where the Li side was kneeling in the courtyard.

"You can punish someone like that." Jin Chupei did not put the Li side in his heart at all.

In his eyes, other than Zi Er, everyone else had no meaning.

Sun Jinzi smiled back at him, the corners of her eyes curled up as the corners of her lips curled up.

"She is the lateral consort, the personal gift of His Majesty. I have dealt with her badly, so Your Majesty cannot feel sorry for her."

Sun Jinzi's words were filled with malice.

Jin Chupei merely reached out his hand and rubbed Sun Jinzi's forehead, "It's good that you like it, you don't have to worry about the people beside you right now, and you don't need them in the future either."

This was not the first time Sun Jinzi had expressed his dissatisfaction towards the Emperor.

What she wanted was for her to know, but she didn't want Jin Chupei to keep talking like this. After all, some people, some things, were afraid that the wall would have ears.

"I know, no need to say more." Sun Jinzi raised her hand and covered Jin Chupei's lips.

Jin Chupei shifted his gaze downwards. Two slender fingers, distinct joints, and as soft and tender as an onion, were placed on his lips, softly and gently kissing.
