Pure Concubine Liao was taken aback by this question.

Emperor Jing Li’s imposing manner abruptly intensified and said, “All people under Heaven belong to and are subjects of the Emperor. I am the king of the country. I demoted your rank. You don’t even reflect on your own behaviour and instead you are asking me? Isn’t this acting without propriety in front of the Emperor?”

Acting without propriety in front of the Emperor!

This statement was very serious!

Pure Concubine Liao also realised the impropriety of her behaviour. She instantly became frightened and started to tremble. She did not dare to utter another word;she hurriedly kowtowed and begged for forgiveness. Emperor Jing Li ordered, “Someone come. Send Pure Concubine Liao and this person together to Noble Consort Liao to learn their rules.”

“Yes.”

Pure Concubine Liao kept begging for forgiveness.

Lady Jiang of Fragrant Ceremony, who was referred to “this person”, did not dare to say a word; she hurriedly bowed after seeing Pure Concubine Liao being demoted.

Then, without a moment of delay, they left Lisheng Pavilion.

Silence once again fell upon Lisheng Pavilion.

Liao Qing Qing looked at Emperor Jing Li again.

The displeasure on Emperor Jing Li’s face slowly dissipated and his gaze fell on Liao Qing Qing.

In fact, he was not busy these two days.

After he held Liao Qing Qing’s hands that night of the fourteenth, his head was unusually clear. It was as if he would no longer be suffering from headaches anymore.

Therefore, on the fifteenth, he rested at Noble Consort Liang’s place for one night according to the rules of the palace.

He was a little worried about his head hurting. After the night passed, he was happy that he didn’t feel any pain.

This was the first time in recent years that he did not have a headache in two consecutive days.

He really wanted to share this happiness with Liao Qing Qing.

But he also wanted to know how long it would not hurt after holding Liao Qing Qing’s hands. Hence, he did not immediately seek out Liao Qing Qing; nor did he go to Lisheng Pavilion at noon to take his meals.

In the afternoon, his head suddenly started to hurt. Perhaps, it was the result of Liao Qing Qing putting his mind at ease that he couldn’t bear the slightest headache now.

When he noticed his headache, he immediately put down the vermilion brush and walked towards this place, leaving Fu Sheng far behind.

Who knew that as soon as he stepped into Lisheng Pavilion, he would see an audacious and impetuous woman ordering his Qing Qing to kneel.

How dare she do this to someone he of his choosing?!

Is she tired of living?!

AD

Is this how all the women in the harem bully Qing Qing when he is not around?

Even though he had already dealt with Pure Concubine Liao, he was still extremely dissatisfied. When he looked at Liao Qing Qing, his heart ached for her. He said in a never before gentle voice, “Qing Qing, are you living well while was away?”

Liao Qing Qing was stunned.

In her previous life, she lived alone when she was young; she ate alone, slept alone, went to school alone… spent all her time studying and earning money to support herself.

Occasionally, when she worked late into the night and encountered a fierce storm, she would run home with her bag on her head. She had fantasized how nice it would be if there was someone who could be her shelter from the storm.

But there was no one.

She still placed “making money to support herself” as top priority; and slowly raised herself to become thick-skinned.

She did not care about herself. She did not mind being single. She worked hard to earn money and just went along with her fate. She was still alone when her life abruptly ended.

But she did not expect to transmigrate to ancient times to hear such a sentence ‒ “Are you living well while I was away?”

It was a very ordinary question.

But it made a splash and created ripples within her heart. She exerted great effort to steady herself. Then, she said to Emperor Jing Li with a smile, “I… This imperial concubine is doing very well.”

“Very well?” Emperor Jing Li suddenly appeared unhappy. He let go of Liao Qing Qing’s hand and sat in front of the table.

Why is he angry again?

Liao Qing Qing hurriedly turned around, raised her hand and picked up the teapot to pour water for Emperor Jing Li.

Emperor Jing Li picked up the teacup and drank it all in one go.

Liao Qing Qing picked up the teapot once again.

Emperor Jing Li immediately asked, “What are you doing?”

“Pouring tea for Your Majesty,” Liao Qing Qing replied.

“Did I say want to drink it?” Emperor Jing Li asked in response.

“Doesn’t Your Majesty usually particularly love to drink tea?” He always drank many cups every time.

“I don’t want to drink it today.” Actually, he didn’t want to drink it previously either. But he was forced to drink it because of that situation.

Liao Qing Qing had no choice but to put down the teacup.

Emperor Jing Li suddenly said, “You are not doing well.”

Liao Qing Qing was perplexed, then she suddenly understood what Emperor Jing Li meant was ‘when am not here, you are not well’. She answered truthfully, “This imperial concubine is doing quite well.”

AD

“Is that so? Why did Pure Concubine Liao bully you? Are the other imperial concubines also like this?” Emperor Jing Li asked.

“Replying to Your Majesty, the sisters in the imperial harem are quite good to this imperial concubine.” Regarding this point, Liao Qing Qing was not lying. She had thought that she would accidentally become cannon fodder by these imperial harem women.

Recently, the imperial harem women were quite calm.

The ones who bounced about most happily were Pure Concubine Liao and Lady Jiang of Fragrant Ceremony. These two were the original owner’s enemies. From her memory, these two, Liao and Jiang, always bullied the original owner. And the original owner was able to live a relatively smooth life by keeping her peace.

Now that she had Emperor Jing Li’s attention, these two people, Liao and Jiang, kept showing their presence more than what she remembered.

She explained to Emperor Jing Li, “Pure Concubine Liao is indeed this imperial concubine paternal elder cousin. Her father is the son that my paternal grandmother is most proud of, and she is the favourite granddaughter. So she habitually educates those of us younger sisters.”

“Before you entered the palace, she taught you the same way?” Emperor Jing Li asked.

Liao Qing Qing thought carefully.

Emperor Jing Li thought she was acquiescing and silently pulled her hand.

He held her hand again.

Liao Qing Qing lifted her dewy and shimmering eyes to look at Emperor Jing Li.

Emperor Jing Li said, “Don’t worry. In the future, you have me. I won’t let you feel aggrieved again.”
