039 - Acting Together

Arriving at Shuyi Palace, Dayang Wu Er asked Jiang Xingyu to wait as he would report first.

Some time later seeing Dayang Wu Er not coming out, Jiang Xingyu guessed Consort Shu had deliberately kept him waiting.

He was not angry, after all, there was a time when Consort Shu had to pay in full for all her deeds. While waiting for that moment to arrive, there was no harm in letting him smile cheerfully just yet.

Half an hour later, the Host finally let him in.

Inside the Hall, Consort Shu was lying lazily on her beloved sofa with a smile on her lips, but her smile froze as her gaze fell on the face of a beautiful woman. Cold sweat poured out from her beautiful face as if she had seen a Ghost.

"Greet Concubine Shu." Jiang Xingyu deliberately did not mention his name.

"You..." Consort Shu's voice trembled and the next sentence seemed to be suffocating in her throat.

Dayang Wu Er rushed forward and asked. "Consort, what's wrong?"

Concubine Shu did not respond to Dayang's question, next her voice sounded even more trembling as if her fear had already taken over her consciousness. "You-who are you?"

"Didn't Consort Shu send Dayang Wu Er to call me? does Consort Shu not recognize me?" jiang Xingyu asked pretending not to know.

He deliberately called himself 'I'. The reason is because the name 'Hamba' will only be used when facing the Emperor only. As for the other Imperial Members, he would refer to himself as 'I' or 'I'.

"What?! You-You're Jiang Xingyu?" Both Consort Shu's eyes widened.

"Yes." Yeah."

- Flashback On - i

That year Shu's concubine Shu Fei was 12 and Nalan Wangzi was 13. The two first met at a palace banquet. Since Nalan Wangzi did not like the crowd, he slipped out and chose to sit alone in a quiet place. It was at this moment that Shu Fei approached him.

The two chat together, in addition to the topic of Martial, for other topics both are quite suitable.

It didn't take long for the two to soon become best friends. As time went on their friendship was like a pair of Sisters talking about many things.

But actually without anyone knowing, Shu Fei's initial goal of approaching Nalan Wangzi was not purely because he wanted to make friends, but because of his father's plan.

At the age of 16 Shu Fei entered the Palace as a Concubine. A year after that she gave birth to a Prince named Murong Yuhao, also with the title of Third Prince.

Nalan Wangzi married Jiang Zhang Wei at the age of 18 and gave birth to a daughter at the age of 19.

Shu Fei who was already a concubine of Shu was certainly very happy. Even her happiness far exceeded the happiness of Nalan Wangzi who had just given birth to a beautiful Princess.

Consort Shu is very happy because Princess Nalan Wangzi is her second plan.

Later Consort Shu proposes a marriage proposal.

If Nalan Wangzi agrees, their children will marry when they grow up.

Of course due to the cord of friendship, Nalan Wangzi happily agreed immediately.

All of Consort Shu's plans went smoothly when the Emperor also agreed to them. The Emperor even issued the Imperial Decree as the inauguration of the marriage contract.

But unexpectedly exactly 5 years ago when the Nalan Mansion suffered a disaster, when Nalan Wangzi died, when his smart daughter turned dumb, a, all of his plans that were drawn up over the years in an instant were smashed to pieces.

Desperate after her plan fails, Consort Shu throws all feelings of friendship into the depths of her heart. A fake friendship that no longer wants to be kept.

Afterwards Consort Shu asked the Emperor to cancel the marriage contract on the grounds that Jiang Xingyu was not suitable to be the Imperial Son-in-law. However the Emperor rejected him and threatened him with punishment for violating the Imperial Decree.

With his little guts Consort Shu immediately silenced and from then on he did not dare to mention the marriage contract again to the Emperor.

- Flashback Off - Flashback

Some time ago when hearing the news of Jiang Xingyu's disappearance, Consort Shu thought the Sovereign was helping her. Unexpectedly the reality slapped him very cruelly.

Now what he had not expected turned out to be Jiang Xingyu's face very similar to Nalan Wangzi, making him rethink everything he did to Nalan Wangzi. Of course, he did not feel guilty or regret it.

Regarding Consort Shu's daydream, Jiang Xingyu just waited quietly because He knew Consort Shu was thinking about the past.

In his heart he swore he would not forgive someone who steadfastly took advantage of and betrayed his mother's sincere feelings. He swore to return it with his own hand.

It took a long time for Consort Shu to return to her senses. His expression changed and his outlook was unfriendly.

"Miss Jiang, how dare you not kneel while facing Ben Gong?" finally he found a reason to vent his frustration.

Jiang Xingyu put on a shocked expression, the next second his expression turned innocent and his words sounded sad. "Did Consort Shu forget something?"

Before Consort Shu thought about it, a flat voice rang out again. "I am a descendant of the Nalan Mansion. My grandfather Nalan Wangli was personally appointed by the previous Emperor as the Prince of Dongqing, and his entire lineage was as honorable as the Prince and Princess of the Empire. Have the grace not to kneel or submit to the Imperial Family. Even when facing His Majesty the Emperor, I do not need to kneel. Oho! Is it possible that Consort Shu's status is much higher than His Majesty's Emperor's? then ask me to kneel?"

"Shut up!" Concubine Shu said unconsciously.

"Did I say it wrong?" Jiang Xingyu shrank in fear, asking carefully as if she was experiencing injustice.

Seeing his timid appearance, the anger in Consort Shu's heart grew even more burning. Somehow He felt like he was being played, but for his purpose He tried to hold him back.

Betting whether this Girl was still so stupid or not, he took out his mainstay. "Yu'er didn't say anything wrong. It's all Aunt Shu's fault for forgetting that. Did Yu'er blame Aunt Shu?"

Jiang Xingyu felt like vomiting. His heart smiled cynically but he did not mind accompanying acting. "I won't blame Aunt Shu."

Concubine Shu sighed in relief. "Smart girl. Sit down, don't just stand there."

"Yes." Yeah." Jiang Xingyu did not refuse.

"By the way you just met His Majesty. If Auntie can find out, what did you say to Her Majesty?" concubine Shu asked as if she was not the one who had behaved arrogantly before.

Jiang Xingyu pretended to look stupid. Everything He said to the Emperor again He told Consort Shu.

Concubine Shu was startled for a moment and secretly hated someone who had already saved this unlucky bearer girl.

Jiang Xingyu's expression changed then his words continued. "Aunt Shu, I know Brother Yuhao's love is not for me, but for Miss Lin. I don't want to be the villain that separates lovers who love each other. Therefore I asked Your Majesty to cancel my marriage contract and Brother Yuhao. But..."

"But what?" concubine Shu asked impatiently.

"But His Holiness said since the Old Age marriage has always been determined by the Elders. Moreover, this marriage was decided directly by the late Mother and Aunt Shu. It was also passed by the Imperial Decree. Even if Brother Yuhao wasn't willing, he couldn't oppose it. If insisting against it, His Majesty said Punishment Against the Imperial Decree would be waiting for him." Jiang Xingyu said as if helpless.

Concubine Shu also finds out as long as the Emperor does not approve of her, no one can cancel the marriage contract. But when he heard it again, he could not help but feel horrified.

If the marriage contract can't be canceled, doesn't that mean her Son can't marry Miss Lin? Meaning her Son could not get the support of the Lin Mansion?

He tried to hold all his emotions. Yet when he saw Jiang Xingyu's face again, he felt like he was about to lose all his patience.

"Auntie Shu is tired, you go back first." He said while waving his hand.

"Then I'll resign." Jiang Xingyu stood up, gave a greeting then turned around.

Right after turning to walk out the Hall, her pretty face showed a smile bathed in the spring breeze, as if her mood was excellent.

Sometimes fighting using the trick of pretending to be weak is much more effective than fighting directly.

And making the opponent mentally helpless is much more fun than physically hurting the opponent.
