The Emperorâs expression became somewhat awkward.
âAhem, I am a man, so being fat or thin doesnât matterâ¦â
âSo, Your Majesty means that as a woman, I must be slim, beautiful, and please men, right?â
âZhuzhu, donât misunderstand me.â The Emperor took Concubine Jinâs hand, âIn my heart, no matter what Zhuzhu looks like, she is always beautiful.â âReally?â
âYes, indeed.â The Emperor spoke earnestly.
âWhat if I make a mistake?â
âItâs okay.â
âI lost the Phoenix Pendant.â
The Emperor looked at her, âYou know, even the Empress doesnât have that pendant, right?â
This had always been a sore point for the Empress.
The Phoenix Pendant was equivalent to the Emperorâs personal presence, granting free access everywhere.
Concubine Jin said, âDidnât Your Majesty just say that it doesnât matter if I make any mistakes?â
âAh, Iâm not blaming you, itâs just, this is not a small matter. Where did you lose it? Let me send someone to look for it. You barely leave the Splendid Palace, where could it be lost?â
âMaybe it was stolen.â
âWho dares to steal things from the Splendid Palace?â
The Emperor frowned, glanced at her face, and laughed, âIf I remember correctly, the Princess Consort of Yu was here before, right?â
âIs Your Majesty saying that Lin Ziziâs daughter is a little thief?â
Just hearing the three words âLin Ziziâ, the Emperorâs old heart skipped a beat.
Concubine Jin said, âAlthough the Princess Consort of Yu is a bit mischievous, she wouldnât steal. She probably didnât know the origin of the Phoenix Pendant and unintentionally took it to play.â
The Emperor laughed, âCan you really get it back?â
He had given away so many things, and none of them had ever been returned.
The Princess Consort of Yu was like a Pi Xiu, a money-devouring beast. Anything that she swallowed could never be spat out again.
The Emperor knew very well that without Concubine Jinâs consent, Jiang Ning would never dare to take her Phoenix Pendant at will.
Just let it go, it was probably taken to see the Prince of Yu.
But Concubine Jin intentionally mentioned it to him, and it seemed that she didnât plan to get the Phoenix Pendant back.
Forget it, forget it.
The Emperor shook his head.
Giving the Phoenix Pendant to Jiang Ning meant that there would be a successor.
âZhuzhu, you havenât seen that old conservative since he came back, have you?â The Emperor asked with a smile.
âYeah, itâs been three months since he came back. If itâs not being locked in the Prison of the Court of Judicial Review, itâs being locked in the Ancestral Temple without food or drink. How could I see him anywhere? Maybe the next time I see him, heâll be a corpse.â
âThatâs not acceptable!â The Emperor was startled and quickly laughed, âI do have many sons, but those who died, died, and those who were deposed, deposed. Only the fifth one is still good. If something happens to him too, who will inherit my empire?â
âYour Majesty could have more children.â Concubine Jin said indifferently.
The Emperorâs eyes lit up slightly, âMy belovedâ¦â
âI am old and cannot have children anymore. Every year, a few young and beautiful concubines enter the harem. Your Majesty can find them to have children. With your excellent health, I believe you can still have sons.â
The Emperorâs smile was a bit awkward, âI am so old, and there hasnât been a pregnant concubine in the harem for many years.â
âYour Majesty, take care of your health, and I believe in you. You will definitely make it!â
Concubine Jin stopped just short of cheering for him.
The Emperor was at a loss for words.
âAlright, letâs not talk about this matter.â He waved his hand, âEven if there were pregnant concubines right now, it would take a child ten or twenty years to grow up. How could I wait that long? Zhuzhu, donât worry, no one can threaten the fifth oneâs position.â
