RPAGF Chapter 479: Does my sister like His Majesty?
Chapter 479: Does my sister like His Majesty?
The next day, the sky was bright and the snow that had fallen all night had stopped, leaving only a thick layer of snow.
When Jiang Wantang woke up, Ji Wuyuan was no longer on the couch.
She supported her aching body, lifted the fur quilt and stood up, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
As if remembering something, Jiang Wantang couldn't help but curse inwardly: "As expected, men's words are deceitful!"
It is true that Ji Wuyuan was very gentle last night, but it was really hard to bear for a man who had been hungry for a long time.
Leng Mei, who was guarding the hall, heard the noise and hurried over to help Jiang Wantang up.
"Why did you get up, Madam?"
"His Majesty specifically instructed you to rest well on the couch today."
Jiang Wantang shook her head and said calmly, "No, the New Year is just a few days away, and the palace is busy with many affairs."
After saying that, she asked Leng Mei to support her and go to the back hall to wash up.
After that, she stayed in Fengqi Palace all day long, dealing with trivial matters in the harem.
Ji Wuyuan came to Fengqi Palace to see her as soon as he got out of the court, with the jade pendant she gave him hanging around his waist.
The two of them sat together, drinking tea and chatting like an ordinary couple.
When encountering some more complicated problems in the harem, Jiang Wantang would occasionally seek his advice.
As time went by, Ji Wuyuan became increasingly busy, but he would always make time to spend some time with Jiang Wantang every day, sometimes to have a meal, sometimes to drink tea and play chess...
The next few days were like this, and the years were peaceful and quiet.
Although the two of them are busy, the time they spend together is becoming increasingly warm and beautiful.
It was so beautiful that Ji Wuyuan felt it was unreal.
He thought, it would be great if the two of them could continue like this.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve, the day before New Year.
After several days of busy work, Jiang Wantang had almost arranged all the big and small matters in the palace.
So on the day before the New Year, he specially summoned Yun Shang and Xiu Zhu to the palace for a small gathering.
Jiang Wantang had been preoccupied with many things before and had not had time to ask about Yun Shang's wedding date, but she was still living a happy life.
And she also prepared New Year gifts specifically for the two of them.
Inside Fengqi Palace, three people were talking and laughing.
In a trance, it seemed as if they had returned to the time when they first entered the palace.
At that time, Jiang Wantang was only thinking about how to attract Ji Wuyuan's attention, climb up, get his power and protection, help her brother's career go smoothly, and prevent the people around her from being bullied.
Now, in just one year, she has ascended the throne of Queen and has also gained the protection of Ji Wuyuan's power, but she doesn't know what she wants anymore.
Perhaps, people are greedy and fickle.
In this short period of less than a year, she felt as if she had experienced half of her life.
The death of loved ones, the truth about one's life, and many emotional entanglements...
Jiang Wantang's state of mind has long been subtly influenced by all kinds of people and experiences.
She even gradually understood why Empress Dowager Wende, after accumulating power over thousands of people, chose to retire.
After lunch, Xiuzhu and the palace maids in the main hall teased a white civet cat that Ji Wuyuan had sent a few days ago to entertain Jiang Wantang.
Jiang Wantang was wearing a plain dress and standing quietly under the corridor in the courtyard.
Yun Shang slowly walked to her side and called out softly, "Sister."
Jiang Wantang glanced back at Yun Shang, who now had her hair in a bun, and couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies..."
"Yes!" Yun Shang sighed as she looked at Fengqi Palace in front of her.
It was clear that two months ago they were still living together in Changle Palace, accompanying each other day and night, but now they are in one palace and outside the other, and it seems that they have found the best home for themselves.
After saying that, Yun Shang stuffed a hot water bottle from her sleeve into Jiang Wantang's hand, just like before.
Jiang Wantang took the hot water bottle, looked at her with a smile, and said, "Our Yunshang is still the most considerate."
Yun Shang also smiled.
Jiang Wantang saw the red marks on her collar and neck, which were faintly visible as the collar floated.
In fact, Jiang Wantang had already noticed it when he was drinking tea in the hall.
She was also an experienced person, so she naturally knew why the red marks on her neck were left.
Lu Jinan is a black-hearted guy with a white appearance. How can the simple and kind-hearted Xiao Yunshang be his match?
In addition, Yun Shang already had feelings for him, and the two of them just needed an opportunity to be together.
Jiang Wantang held the hot water bottle in her hand, looked at Yun Shang's rosy and translucent cheeks, and said with a smile: "Before, I was worried that letting you marry Lu Jinan would be unfair to you."
"Now it seems that Lu Jinan is indeed a good choice."
"He took good care of you. I see that you are much plumper and look better than before in the palace."
Hearing this, Yun Shang's ears immediately turned red, and she said a little embarrassedly: "Sister, please stop teasing me."
Jiang Wantang smiled and said, "In this way, I can rest assured to leave you to him."
Yun Shang's eyes trembled, and she looked up at Jiang Wantang and said, "But Yun Shang wants to be with her sister for the rest of her life."
"Silly girl..." Jiang Wantang raised her hand and touched Yun Shang's head, saying softly, "Sister knows."
"But I also know that you want a family and yearn for the happiness of being together as a couple for the rest of your life."
"And these, only Lu Jinan can give you."
"Live your life well. My sister also has her own path to walk."
Yun Shang lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a light shadow under her eyes. She had actually noticed a long time ago that her sister was worried.
Her eyes darkened, and she reached out to hold Jiang Wantang's slightly cold fingers, saying, "What about my sister?"
"Does my sister like His Majesty?"
At this moment, the footsteps that had just reached the outer courtyard of Fengqi Palace stopped.
Ji Wuyuan has been busy for many days and arranged all the things in advance just to make time to spend the first New Year with Jiang Wantang.
However, after he finished his work, he hurried to see Jiang Wantang. As soon as he entered Fengqi Palace, he heard these words and subconsciously stopped.
This was something he had never had the courage to ask.
At this moment, he also wanted to know Jiang Wantang's answer.
However, Jiang Wantang in the courtyard fell silent at that time.
Seeing this, Yun Shang said, "Sister, I'm asking about the kind of love between men and women."
"My sister's heart is with His Majesty, isn't it?"
After a long silence, Jiang Wantang shook his head and said frankly, "I don't know."
Her feelings towards Ji Wuyuan are complicated.
From the initial calculation and exploitation, to the later feelings, affection, habit, resentment, guilt, heartache...
It was so complicated that she couldn't tell whether she felt more guilty or liked Ji Wuyuan.
Whenever she saw Ji Wuyuan silently giving for her, the feeling in her heart was not joy or sweetness, but heaviness, as heavy as shackles.
Even if you say you don’t like it, you still have feelings;
Say like...
