Chapter 1462: Prince Li’s Extra: Provocation
Concubine Xu's parents, brothers and sisters-in-law stayed in her bedroom until very late. The eunuch outside the door urged them several times before they left reluctantly.
As soon as they left, the emperor came. When she greeted the emperor, Concubine Xu's face was still covered with tears.
"It's a good thing to meet your parents, why are you crying?" Su Jing asked softly, looking worried.
"I am too happy, I..." Concubine Xu explained softly, but she was hesitant to speak. Su Jing didn't say anything, just smiled and looked at her.
"You, you just think too much. Take a good rest. If you need anything, just find Ah Man directly."
After Su Jing finished speaking, he sat directly on the chair in the hall. Although he knew it was a show, he felt very uncomfortable when he was a little closer to Concubine Xu.
"Your Majesty, Princess Jiaoyang..." Concubine Xu still remembered what her father said when he left. She must use her pregnancy to create a gap between the emperor and Ah Man. Only in this way will the emperor marry her off as soon as possible.
However, she and Princess Jiaoyang had little contact, so after she opened her mouth, she couldn't say a word that would be eye-catching.
Su Jing didn't expect that Concubine Xu would mention Ah Man. He looked up at her, waiting for her to continue speaking.
"Your Majesty, Princess Jiaoyang is too busy, and it's also possible that she can't take care of me. Don't blame the princess..."
Concubine Xu had to bow her head in despair, but thinking about what she would do in the future, she could only muster up the courage to continue speaking.
Although she didn't blame me, her intention was particularly obvious, that is, to say that Ah Man neglected her.
"Say it." Looking at Concubine Xu, Su Jing was already very annoyed in his heart. He tried to control the disgust in his heart and said calmly.
"It's just that the food these days is a little unpalatable. The princess is in charge of the affairs of the harem, so it's normal that she can't take care of it." Concubine Xu tried to maintain a smile on her face, but her heart was already in a panic.
"Your meals should be lighter, it's the doctor's order." Su Jing's words were already somewhat impatient, and Concubine Xu naturally sensed it. She became more and more uneasy in her heart, and said nervously: "I didn't say that the meals were lighter, but I didn't like them."
"You are pregnant and have a picky taste, how can you blame Ah Man?" Su Jing looked at Concubine Xu, who seemed to be hesitant and full of grievances, and was very tired and couldn't help but said coldly.
"Your Majesty, I am not blaming Princess Ah Man, I am worried that if I eat less, it will be unfair to the baby in my belly." Concubine Xu still looked aggrieved, but she was very nervous in her heart. She clenched her hands tightly, and her nails were clenched into the flesh.
"If you eat less, it will hurt the child. Then you should eat more. Your meals are all prescribed by the imperial doctors after research. It has nothing to do with A'man."
"I know. I just said it. It has nothing to do with Princess Jiaoyang."
"Since you know A'man is busy, don't bother her with palace matters in the future."
Su Jing's words became more and more cold. Concubine Xu listened to it and felt so wronged that she wanted to cry out. A'man is his daughter. Isn't the child in her belly his child?
They are all his children, why should he be so partial to one over the other?
The fear of A'man in her heart turned into bone-biting jealousy under Su Jing's protection. Why, why can A'man let the man he likes protect her like this? Why should A'man get the best? Why?
"I know. I don't mean to blame the princess. I..." After the jealousy subsided, Concubine Xu was more panic in her heart. She was afraid that because of her test just now, the emperor would dislike her. So, when she spoke, she was particularly gentle, with tears in her eyes, and she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Take good care of her. I'll go back first." Su Jing was already tired of her aggrieved look, and now he hated her even more, so he simply got up and left, out of sight, out of mind.
Concubine Xu watched Su Jing leave, and the tears in her eyes fell uncontrollably.
She was still pregnant with his child, and he treated her like this just for Ah Man. He didn't dare to blame the emperor, but he hated Ah Man.
