"Yang-" Uncompleted Huang Mingxiang spoke and completely bowed, Xiao Jihuang had already immediately walked over quickly and held back her movements.
"Mingxiang .." said the man, the look on his face looked very sad.
Huang Mingxiang frowned, he immediately took a few steps back to provide some distance between the two of them. Previously he and Xiao Jihuang had indeed met and known each other often, but not this close to being able to touch him carelessly. Moreover, the man knew that he was already the wife of his own young uncle. Huang Mingxiang was his Imperial aunt now.
"Please your attitude, your majesty." Huang Mingxiang looked at Xiao Jihuang coldly, indicating that he was uncomfortable with the man's attitude.
Xiao Jihuang shook her head. "How is it possible? Why are you being so cold to me?"
Huang Mingxiang let out a thin breath. "You must pay attention to my title and your own, your majesty. I am the Empire-Aunt" Again, Xiao Jihuang cut off Huang Mingxiang's sentence.
"Zhen never approved of your marriage to Xiao Wangye!" Xiao Jihuang suddenly snapped at him, then pulled Huang Mingxiang's hand so that their distance back was very close.
Huang Mingxiang brushed off Xiao Jihuang's hand. "What do you mean, your majesty? You alone allowed Huanghou to lower the decree. So now please respect me as the wife of Uncle-!"
"Mingxiang ...."
Xiao Jihuang suddenly hugged Huang Mingxiang, making Huang Mingxiang even more shocked. The woman tried to let go of Xiao Jihuang's embrace, but lost heavily in exertion. Xiao Jihuang had a posture that was almost similar to Xiao Muqing.
"Silent. Zhen begged you, shut up for a moment, Mingxiang. You don't know how messed up my head is when I think of you," Xiao Jihuang said, angering Huang Mingxiang. It seems like that guy has gone crazy!
Huang Mingxiang was forced to use his nails to claw at Xiao Jihuang's neck, making the man take off his embrace and stare at Huang Mingxiang sharply.
"Because you are acting disrespectfully first, then do not blame me for acting disrespectfully too, your majesty. I have absolutely no idea why his majesty suddenly behaved like this to me, earlier-" Back again, that man cut off Huang Mingxiang's remark.
"Before Zhen continued to hold back, didn't you understand from how Zhen looked and behaved? If not for Rong Xuan, you would have become this Imperial Huanghou. But, it can't. Zhen relented, giving up on it. If you can't become a Huanghou, then at least you become a Guifei for Zhen, then Zhen promises to treat you very well. But somehow everything is messed up. Seeing you marry Xiao Wangye, it really made Zhen's mood unhappy!" Xiao Jihuang forgot about the emotions and thoughts she had been holding on to herself. He loved Huang Mingxiang, but his fate as Emperor hindered his feelings. He had never loved anyone this big aside from Huang Mingxiang. He often grumbled to the Gods, out of the many women he had inside the Harem, why was there no Huang Mingxiang? Of all the luxuries he had, Xiao Jihuang only asked Huang Mingxiang.
Huang Mingxiang was stunned. She did not know what to say, she did not expect Xiao Jihuang to keep her feelings for him. But, after all ..all those feelings for now are nothing more than in vain. That doesn't mean anything now.
"It's your own fault, why can't you keep what you love. That feeling right now should have been removed, Your Majesty. You don't need to look back, the Mingxiang you love right now is gone, your highness. So now please return to your respective positions." Huang Mingxiang stared hard at Xiao Jihuang, trying to make Xiao Jihuang realize that everything was no longer the same.
Xiao Jihuang smiled coldly. "Zhen hearing the news that you and Xiao Wangye haven't even done the first night, are you really happy with the marriage, Mingxiang?"
Huang Mingxiang was silent. Xiao Jihuang then spoke again. "Again, what are you proud of Xiao Wangye? The guy even has that leg-"
"Enough, your honor!" Huang Mingxiang was angry, his heart suddenly felt extremely displeased if Xiao Jihuang were to talk like that about Xiao Muqing. Previously he could still restrain himself from all of Xiao Jihuang's words, but this one .. somehow he could not hold back, until he finally unconsciously snapped at Xiao Jihuang directly.
Xiao Jihuang was stunned. This was Huang Mingxiang's loudest clash, the last time he saw Huang Mingxiang let out a tone this high before him while playing together at Huangtaihou Palace and the news of Song Furen's passing sounded. The woman dared to loudly yell at Huangtaihou while crying because Huangtaihou repeatedly forbade Huang Mingxiang to leave if his emotions had not stabilized.
"The man cannot protect you, Mingxiang," Xiao Jihuang said, still not giving up.
Huang Mingxiang shook his head. "How is it different from you? You said that you have loved me for a long time, but .. protected me from the common little intrigue that you cannot. I can stand on my own anyway. If Wangye can't protect me, then I will protect Wangye!"
"Mingxiang, you didn't even give Zhen the time! Alright .. I, Xiao Jihuang, apologize to you. Then, please .. give Zhen time to prove that Zhen is indeed capable of-" Unfinished Xiao Jihuang spoke, Huang Mingxiang quickly cut in.
"Enough! The longer we talk, the more noble the bragging. I don't think this conversation needs to continue, Your Honor. The event will soon begin, you should meet Huanghou and Huang Guifei, your beloved wives." Huang Mingxiang turned around, trying to step out. However, Xiao Jihuang again withdrew her hand, making Huang Mingxiang come back face to face with the man.
"It." Xiao Jihuang placed the golden hair pin into Huang Mingxiang's palm forcefully.
Huang Mingxiang frowned in annoyance. This guy seems really crazy!
"For what is this a-!"
"Accept. Zhen force, Mingxiang. This is the gift that Zhen had specially prepared to welcome you to the Harem. Please wear it at today's event ..." Xiao Jihuang's tone was clear.
Huang Mingxiang shook his head, as he was about to throw a sentence of rejection, Xiao Jihuang suddenly whispered in Huang Mingxiang's ear.
"If you refuse, then Zhen will bring up the attitude of Xiao Wangye who always ignored my call. One of them was to refuse the arrival of personal eunuch Zhen. What if Zhen brought this up before the nobles? What title and head of your husband will be able to last until tomorrow morning?"
Huang Mingxiang glanced at Xiao Jihuang coldly. This man besides being crazy, he was also cunning. However, the man forgot, Huang Mingxiang was also a cunning human. Replying to his sharp sentence was no big deal to Huang Mingxiang.
"Then I will bring up your disrespectful attitude to the senior of the Empire. You attempted to violate the will of the late Emperor earlier and humiliate Xiao Wangye's face. Do not suppose I do not know that you know clearly the hidden will of the previous Emperor. But you pretended not to know, then threw the matter to the officials who were your supporters to snatch away Wangye's troops, so that their heads were beheaded! What if this Wangfei exposes that? Finding evidence of your cunning is not difficult for this Wangfei. This wangfei has been in and out of the Palace a lot, even longer than your current Huanghou!"
Their two eyes met, looking at each other sharply. Xiao Jihuang let out a crisp laugh, then stroked the golden hair pin he placed on Huang Mingxiang's palm as he said, "Then Zhen will recklessly break through Xiao Wangfu. In the current situation, naturally Xiao Wangye would refuse Zhen's arrival. This could be counted as a minor insult and rebellion against the Emperor."
"Xiao Ji-Huang!!" Huang Mingxiang glared furiously. Thats enough. Huang Mingxiang really hated this man right now. Before meeting this man, his hatred was not as great as it was now. But upon hearing the man's words who was constantly looking for a loophole to take down her husband, Huang Mingxiang was furious!
Xiao Jihuang chuckled, then thrust the hair pin into Huang Mingxiang's bun. The Phoenix hairpick that Huang Mingxiang had previously worn from Xiao Wangfu, was pulled out by Xiao Jihuang, replaced by the hairpick he had given.
"Then from that. If you really love your husband very much, then during your time in the Palace, obey all my words, Xiang'er ..." whispered Xiao Jihuang, then walked past Huang Mingxiang, then walked past, leaving the woman alone to grieve in anger.
Huang Mingxiang squeezed out his hairpin that Xiao Jihuang had removed, then turned to stare at the back of the man who was slowly moving away.
"Wrt*at!" huang Mingxiang's.
