Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 772: Hard-Won!

With great respect, the young opera actor saluted Long Yue and cast a flirtatious glance that only she could see.

Ha ha!

Long Yue laughed gently, thankfully Li Qingmu wasn’t here, otherwise, he would surely deal with him!

"Liu Xiang, let’s go!"

Long Yue smiled slightly, like a breeze, as she walked past the young opera actor.

This Broken Jade has finally arrived, but who would have thought he’d use this method?

Does his master, Master Yuheng, know this? Would he be furious?

"Empress, that opera actor seems to be..."

After they walked away, Liu Xiang tentatively asked.

The young opera actor just now made her uneasy. As a servant, such rashness was certainly inappropriate, but she had to be responsible to her master.

Long Yue glanced back at her, and said faintly: "Why, what do you think of that young actor?"

Liu Xiang knew this was a test from her master, a warning that if answered correctly there would be no issue, but if wrong, there would be a price to pay for overstepping bounds.

She thought for a moment and said, "I don’t know how to put it, just felt his gaze on you was off!"

After speaking, Liu Xiang quickly knelt down: "Empress, forgive me! My mouth was too loose!"

Long Yue looked at her for a long time before saying: "It’s okay, it’s good that you noticed, let’s go!"

"Empress?"

Liu Xiang lifted her head, looking at Long Yue with a bewildered expression; she thought she would be punished, but it was just these few words?

"What? Aren’t you getting up? Do you want me to hit you before you’re satisfied?"

Liu Xiang paused again before joyfully getting up: "Thank you, Empress!"

"Let’s go! That young actor, haha... his character looks quite good, let’s have Your Majesty come and see later!"

"Yes, yes!"

There must be strife in the harem, with its root in vying for favor.

However, Rong Si didn’t like the harem’s jealousy and rivalry, especially since Li Qingmu presently favored only two concubines, leaving others without anything to scheme.

Because they are unworthy!

Therefore, Long Yue actually lived quite comfortably in the palace, albeit a bit bored, like caged, making one feel quite suffocated.

Returning to her dwelling, Long Yue began crafting the New Year’s gift for Princess.

Li Qingmu’s idea wasn’t bad; the key to the gift lay in sincerity. Think about Rong Si; having a great kingdom at her disposal, what wouldn’t she have already? Why would she care for those rare treasures?

What she wanted was more spiritual comfort.

Long Yue took a strand of her own hair, then combined it with different colored embroidery threads, crafting a piece inscribed with longevity.

"Empress, your body is still, it’s not good to do this. How about you tell me, and let me do it? I used to stay in the embroidery workshop, I can do this!"

Liu Xiang originally came from the embroidery workshop as a palace maid.

Long Yue smiled: "No worries, this matter requires sincerity. If you help me sew, how does that show my heart? Furthermore, Princess has sharp eyes, do you think she wouldn’t notice?"

Liu Xiang hurriedly apologized: "It was me being careless! But Empress, your hand..."

"I told you it’s fine, don’t worry. I used to do some needlework for a living during tough times at home, it’s habitual."

"Yes, Empress be careful then, I’ll get more lamps!"

"Pfft, it’s still daytime, you silly girl!"

Long Yue couldn’t hold back her laughter, yet she accepted her kind offer.

In the evening, Li Qingmu arrived, seeing his little wife seriously working on embroidery, he smiled and came to sit at Long Yue’s side, quietly watching her stitch.

Suddenly, he felt this scene very familiar, as if he’d seen it somewhere?

Ah yes, he remembered, it was the day his Yue’er changed, he sat on the opposite side of the bed helping her sew her clothes.

On that day, heaven gave him a surprise!

He thought his little wife would disdain him, refuse to live life with him, yet unexpectedly, she figured it out?

To know she almost refused to live together, dying to avoid it, argued daily with family, causing chaos, unrest between neighbors and family.

But then, happiness arrived abruptly, catching him off guard!

He quickly seized this happiness that might slip away.

Therefore, he cherishes this relationship, as it wasn’t easy to come by, unwilling to give it up.

"Be careful, don’t prick your finger."

He quietly reminded her nearby, feeling regret suggesting this idea, seeing his little wife visibly pregnant yet having to sit at the desk embroidering, inexplicably feeling unwilling.

"Oh, I know, you know I used to do this, why fear?"

Long Yue gave Li Qingmu a small smile, continuing to play with the strands in her hands.

"By the way, A Mu, I was just looking for you!" Long Yue suddenly put down her work, with a serious expression said: "Broken Jade is here!"

Li Qingmu’s pupils contracted slightly, Broken Jade? That flashy man finally came?

"Where is he?"

Li Qingmu asked curiously.

Long Yue pointed in the direction the opera troupe had set up, chuckled: "The opera troupe, the new one, have you heard of it?"

Li Qingmu was stunned for a moment, then curiously asked: "What’s he doing there?"

"In a position you wouldn’t believe."

Long Yue ruffled him, Li Qingmu sighed, "Say, what’s he doing?"

"Playing young roles, ee ya..."

Long Yue said, giving a demonstration to Li Qingmu; instantly he felt his hair stand on end, entirely uncomfortable.

Then, thinking of that handsome Broken Jade turning into this, suddenly...

"Hahaha..."

The man laughed heartily, not being very fair to him.

"Laugh laugh laugh, always laughing, what’s so funny? He’s contributing to the nation’s founding, you know? No laughing allowed!"

"Alright, alright, I won’t laugh, listening entirely to the wife’s commands!"

"Hmph!"

Long Yue snorted softly, disinclined to pay attention to the man, continuing with her needlework.

Night fell, Li Qingmu once again stayed overnight in Zhaoming Palace.

Inside the Empress’s bedroom, Kunyue Palace here.

Nianxi listened to the report from the subordinates: "Reporting to Empress, His Majesty stayed over again at Zhaoming Palace."

The Palace Attendant used the word "again," illustrating well that Li Qingmu had previously gone to Zhaoming Palace and was now there again.

Doing so, more people would surely hate Long Yue, including Princess Consort Jing!

Nianxi waved her hand, signaling the Palace Attendant to leave, while she herself sat before the vanity.

Staring into the copper mirror at herself, though not as stunning as Long Yue and Princess Consort Jing, she isn’t that bad either, why wouldn’t the Emperor favor her?

Why?

Nianxi felt puzzled, as if there was a demon about to stir within her heart, really wanting to rush into Zhaoming Palace, kill that woman, the woman fighting for her man!

Yet, soon she cooled down, unexpectedly having a strange thought arise in her mind.

This Ming Fei, Wei Yunyan, could she be someone known to Li Qingmu? Or else, why is he doting her so much?

No, wrong, that’s between monarch and subjects, and besides that connection, there’s kinship and affection, so between them, is it truly affection?
