A quick journey starting from Wu Dalang

Chapter 111 I am the Golden House (3)

Xiao Jin felt a little regretful. He lay on the roof looking at the moonlight. He didn't know whether there was Chang'e in the Moon Palace in this world. So far, he had not seen any monsters. Could it be that he was an exception in this world?

Xiao Jin pondered a series of strange questions and slowly fell asleep in confusion. At this time, the emperor was painting in the Weiyang Palace.

The abstract artwork makes it impossible to identify the person in the painting. One can only roughly judge from her clothes that it is the queen. Behind the deep jealousy is yearning, and people often fall in love with the person they yearn for easily.

The emperor, who did not understand his own feelings, finished his abstract painting and began to deal with the government affairs at hand. Those were selected by the Empress Dowager. Every one of them had been seen and even handled by the Empress Dowager. What he had to do was to learn the Empress Dowager's methods and improve his abilities.

The Empress Dowager was helped by palace servants to the Emperor's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, you are still handling government affairs so late, please don't tire yourself out." The emperor quickly stood up and greeted, "Grandson is not tired, thank you for your concern, Grandmother."

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "I came here today to ask about your relationship with the Queen."

The emperor was slightly stunned, "My grandson and the queen have a very good relationship."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "That's good. Only when you and your wife are in harmony can the harem be peaceful. By the way, I heard that you painted a picture recently. Is it of the Queen?"

The emperor was somewhat surprised that the Empress Dowager was so well-informed: "That's right."

The Empress Dowager looked at the painting on the table. Although her eyesight was not good, she had certainly seen the painting with her eyes: "This painting is indeed unique, but, Emperor, do you really like the Queen?"

The words of the Empress Dowager gave the emperor a bad feeling. He didn't understand why she asked him that. Soon, the Empress Dowager told him the reason.

"Ah Jiao said she regretted marrying you, she said you were not the man she liked"

"Then who is the man she likes?" The emperor was anxious, but he didn't understand why he was anxious. Such a reaction made the palace maid beside the Empress Dowager couldn't help but smile.

"Ah Jiao doesn't like anyone, she just feels that she doesn't like you anymore, but I have already advised her, Emperor, I have always hoped that you could have a child"

What the Empress Dowager wanted was not only the child of the Emperor and Gillian, but also the protection that the Emperor would give Gillian. However, the Empress Dowager did not know that Gillian was simply infertile.

This was not the work of anyone. Gillian's condition did not cause any health problems at such a young age. Instead, she did not want to endure the pain of childbirth and had prepared sterilization drugs early on.

On the first night of her wedding with the emperor, she took the medicine. Gillian didn't care whether she would be disliked for not having children. Long-term education made her believe that even if she had no children, she would still be the emperor's only queen.

In fact, even though the emperor had complicated feelings towards Gillian, he would not want to abandon her, simply because she was his cousin and the only cousin who cared about him when he was young.

Xiao Jin didn't know that on the night he fell asleep, the Emperor received a warning from the Empress Dowager and realized the betrayal of those around him. Due to the power of Guantao, he personally severed the fate between himself and A Jiao.

The abstract painting was also burned by the emperor himself, and the eunuchs and palace maids around him were also replaced. The Empress Dowager was pleased that her grandson was efficient, but she also knew that she might not be able to protect A Jiao, so she urged the emperor and A Jiao to have a child more urgently.

The next morning, Gillian welcomed an uninvited guest.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager." Gillian bowed respectfully but not at all disrespectfully.

"Ah Jiao, you should call me mother." The Queen Mother approached Ah Jiao affectionately and tried to hold her, but Ah Jiao dodged her.

"Just say whatever you want to say, mother. A Jiao has to hurry to pay her respects to her grandmother." When the empress dowager was the wife of the late emperor, A Jiao really disliked this woman who always glared at her, and naturally would not give her face.

"You and Che'er have been married for half a year, and it's time for you to have a child. If you don't want to, you can let another woman give birth to the child and raise it for you." The Queen Mother had already prepared the candidate and was just waiting for Gillian to agree.

"Having a child is not just my business. Your Majesty, you should go ask the Emperor. I'm going to pay my respects to my grandmother." Gillian didn't say a word. She was sure that the Emperor would not favor anyone else.

But what A Jiao could not have imagined was that the emperor actually agreed. The empress dowager, through Princess Pingyang, sent in several women. One of them was called Wei Zifu, who was not only beautiful but also had a good voice.

As soon as Wei Zifu entered the palace, she was favored by the emperor. However, the emperor had no intention of breaking off relations with Guantao and others at this moment. He just liked Wei Zifu and had not summoned her to sleep with him.

But Gillian was unhappy when she heard the news. In her eyes, the emperor was her property, and even if she didn't like him, she would not give the emperor to others.

When A Jiao broke into the Weiyang Palace, the emperor was listening to Wei Zifu singing. He did not see the expected lewd scene. A Jiao was still very calm. She found a comfortable position in the emperor's arms and sat there quietly.

After Wei Zifu bowed slightly, she continued to sing. A Jiao fell asleep while listening. Xiao Jin, who was far away in the Golden House, felt an uncomfortable breath. He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Weiyang Palace.

The next second, Xiao Jin, who had hidden his figure, arrived at the Weiyang Palace. A Jiao looked towards the door as if she had sensed something, but saw nothing. Xiao Jin looked at Wei Zifu and lamented the stubbornness of fate.

Wei Zifu was truly the girl destined by heaven. She had a younger brother, Wei Qing, a nephew, Huo Qubing, and a son, Liu Ju. It was truly the destiny for her. As soon as Wei Zifu appeared, she stirred up the phoenix aura in A Jiao.

It's no wonder that Xiao Jin felt very strange. If Ah Jiao wanted to continue to be the emperor's wife, Xiao Jin naturally had a way to help her. After absorbing the other party's phoenix energy, he was willing to help. However, Xiao Jin saw that Ah Jiao didn't seem to have this idea.

Gillian really doesn't want to continue being the queen. She became the queen because her grandmother and mother wanted her to be the queen, and she just wanted to live a luxurious life forever.

But Gillian learned about a wider world and a more free life from Xiao Jin. She, who was originally satisfied with the status quo, began to have ambitions.

Rather than being the empress of a certain emperor, Gillian prefers to be a certain princess. She is considering the possibility of accepting the power in her mother's hands and becoming a princess with great power.

As the daughter of Guantao, she understood too well the importance of power. Her mother, being a princess, could force the emperor to marry his daughter as queen, but Princess Pingyang was reduced to having to train a woman to give to her younger brother.
