"What makes your majesty bother to come here in the midst of the extraordinary busy taking care of the country?" Rong Xuan, the woman sat face to face with Xiao Jihuang. They were currently inside Rong Xuan's room, there were only the two of them, Rong Xuan's personal servant had already been expelled out before the two of them sat down together.
Xiao Jihuang looked coldly at his wife. "You know better what the reason is, Huanghou."
Rong Xuan smiled, his smile looking extremely cold. "How could I know the reason while his own noble does not explain anything?"
Xiao Jihuang stared hard at his wife. "Is the title of Huanghou not enough to satisfy your heart?"
Rong Xuan raised his left eyebrow at a glance. "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Jihuang gritted her teeth furiously. "Zhen has given you the highest title in the Harem, given you all kinds of pleasure and wealth, given you unlimited honor, even Zhen has very often granted what you asked for. But, why do you constantly bother women Zhen?"
Rong Xuan chuckled. "Your woman? Who do you mean? There are hundreds of women in this Harem, your honor."
"Huang Mingxiang's. That woman never made trouble with you, but you kept bothering her. Do you intend to insult Zhen's face?!" xiao Jihuang replied, he was angry. He had already noticed Rong Xuan's movements since the celebration of Compassion.
Rong Xuan shook his head slowly, his lips still smiling. "G ... You mean Xiao Wangfei? Keep in mind, your honor. Currently Xiao Wangfei is Xiao Wangye's wife, your Imperial uncle."
Brak!
"Rong Xuan!!" Xiao Jihuang snapped at Rong Xuan, her hands pounding the table hard as she stood up. Xiao Jihuang's eyes stared fiercely at Rong Xuan, while Rong Xuan's? The woman still maintained her smile. His eyes stared coldly at Xiao Jihuang, he remained calm.
Silent. There was only the roar of emotional breath belonging to Xiao Jihuang. Before long, the sound of Rong Xuan's laughter sounded. Xiao Jihuang stared hatefully at Rong Xuan.
"What's wrong with you, your majesty? What is wrong with my words? Isn't that the truth? Huang Mingxiang, the woman you love, is now the wife of the Empire's uncle, Xiao Wangye! " His eyes were staring contemptuously at Xiao Jihuang.
Xiao Jihuang took a step forward, brought their distance closer, then gripped onto Rong Xuan's arm. "Is the mastermind behind Huang Mingxiang's slander your doing?"
Rong Xuan was silent, his eyes still continuing to stare at Xiao Jihuang. The woman did not tremble at all, instead bravely returning Xiao Jihuang's gaze. After things returned quite calm, Rong Xuan replied, "What if so? You won't even be able to cut off a strand of hair that belongs to me, your majesty."
"Rong Xuan!!" Xiao Jihuang removed her grip from Rong Xuan's hand violently, then pointed at Rong Xuan's face using her index finger. The atmosphere is now breaking.
"Zhen always treat you well! Even not infrequently Zhen refuted Muhou's remarks. Zhen never demands anything from you, and Zhen never takes anything away from you! Zhen always gives you what you ask for! What makes you feel so lacking that it constantly harms Huang Mingxiang?!"
Rong Xuan closed his eyes, trying to gather calmness. Overwhelming with questions from Xiao Jihuang, the man's outburst of emotion, and his extremely sharp sentence, Rong Xuan could barely contain himself even though he had been calm from the start.
"Your Majesty, do you love me?" rong Xuan asked, this one question was enough to leave Xiao Jihuang speechless. The roar of his emotional breath suddenly vanished, his face looking puzzled at Rong Xuan's question.
Xiao Jihuang frowned, not understanding. He was really frustrated facing Rong Xuan. "Where is the situation when Zhen doesn't appreciate you, Rong Xuan? You have become the only woman that Zhen allowed to give Wangye-class marriage edicts! Only a Huangtaihou and an Emperor are allowed to use such a large will! How else should Zhen appreciate you?! Zhen really can't understand what you mean, your heart has indeed been rotten since the beginning of setting foot in the Harem!!"
"That's because your majesty never looked at me!! I don't need any honor! I just need my husband!!" Shouted Rong Xuan, he lost control.
Prangs!
Rong Xuan slammed the porcelain cup that was on the table, his eyes began to redden, his breathing roaring irregularly. Grief, anger, disappointment, were now one in his heart.
Rong Xuan stood up, then walked over towards Xiao Jihuang and gripped the collar of the man's shirt. His tears were rising, he could not hold himself anymore. She was tired of hearing her own husband defend himself against other women in front of her.
"Your majesty, you never thought how lonely I was in this fancy chair you gave me? Being the Huanghou of this Empire and sharing a husband with hundreds of women, just by that alone was enough to be a heavy burden on my life. And now, you are blatantly telling me that you love another woman! You never thought of me! The night we first got married, you didn't come to visit my room! You give unreasonable excuses through your personal eunuch. Don't think I don't know your majesty, you sneaked quietly out of the Palace just to visit Huang Fu and meet Huang Mingxiang, didn't you?! The news that you didn't set foot in the room after the wedding left my face and my family smudged! I became the talk and gossip of many nobles! While you sit quietly on the throne while enjoying your passionate feelings towards a woman who is not your empress!!!"
Rong Xuan tried to regulate the roar of his breath, his tears constantly flowing. The woman's body trembled, her eyes staring hatefully at Xiao Jihuang.
Xiao Jihuang shook her head slowly, her eyes looking at Rong Xuan getting harder and harder. The man removed Rong Xuan's hand grip from the hardness of his shirt, then replied, "You're really disappointing. Do you know the reason Zhen visited Huang Fu secretly and met Huang Mingxiang that night?"
Rong Xuan was silent, he had no idea. All she knew was that her husband was more concerned with other women than her who was already the man's legal wife.
Xiao Jihuang clenched both her hands. "Huang Mingxiang, the woman has been getting a hard upbringing from Muhou since she was five years old. The shadow of great responsibility has weighed on the woman since childhood. Huang Mingxiang knew that her dream as Huanghou had already been forcibly snatched away by the political circumstances, yet. He never brought up the millions of sacrifices he had made! You don't know anything about that woman's hard work in order to be the best, Rong Xuan. The result of the grand prize that should have been his, you snatched away that had never even prepared anything from far away years. That night, he fell ill from having to accept Huangtaihou's loud nagging. Huangtaihou had no intention of venting his entire disappointment to that woman because of you! But she has absolutely no grudge against you, she is still trying to make a wedding gift for you!"
Rong Xuan. The woman was silent, staring blankly at her husband.
Xiao Jihuang snorted in annoyance. "Remember the handkerchief embroidered by the Phoenix bird and a package of gold ornaments and intricate patterns that you threw away quietly after receiving it? The woman embroidered a handkerchief for you while enduring the pain in her hand from being hit by rattan and broken glass from Huangtaihou! Even the scar on his hand could still be seen by Zhen clearly! The intricate pattern of jewelry you threw away just like that, it was personally made by him! He's always been good to you! Head of the whole man! But the crazy thing is that you're constantly trying to get rid of it and even worse hunt for his life?"
Rong Xuan was silent. He could not reply to Xiao Jihuang's sentence anymore, he felt himself going awry. He doesn't know what to do.
Xiao Jihuang snorted again, stared intently at Rong Xuan, then turned around as she said, "Zhen really hates you! Zhen never thought there would be a selfish human being like you!"
Rong Xuan stared at the cold back of Xiao Jihuang who was walking out with overflowing emotions, her heart ached a great deal. He thought, how could Xiao Jihuang possibly utter such a sentence at him? He defended Huang Mingxiang, saying that the woman had been from all these years preparing everything. Then what about her? He has been trying hard for the last two years as well. He was trying to do all sorts of ways for Xiao Jihuang and Huangtaihou to care about him, yet ..Their constant gazes were only on Huang Mingxiang!
Rong Xuan squeezed his hanfu cloth, then shouted in frustration while turning the table.
"Yahoo!! Really am! I'm going to add**h Huang Mingxiang!!"
