After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 135 She can understand, but she doesn’t forgive

Hearing this, Fuqiu quickly bowed to King Rui and then obediently pushed the swing.

Feeling his body swaying, Qiao Rongjin squinted his eyes and enjoyed it, as if he didn't even notice the uninvited guest, Prince Rui.

Maids such as Qinglian and Qinyun bowed politely.

He just looked at his master with an uneasy look.

No, if the master does this, will the prince blame him? Everyone present, except Zhu Yun, was terrified.

Although they secretly cursed the prince countless times for rescuing Chen and bringing her back to the mansion, and felt sorry for their master and young master, they did not dare to show it in front of him.

Qi Heng walked over and motioned Fuqiu to move aside while he pushed the ball.

Fuqiu didn't move, and her master didn't say anything. She couldn't give in. Although she was very scared, she still stood firmly.

Seeing Fuqiu didn't move, Qi Heng looked at her coldly, then was a little surprised. This maid was really good-looking, but she looked somewhat familiar. However, he didn't have the heart to think about those things at the moment. He just wanted to coax the angry person on the swing.

"Go ahead." Seeing that Fuqiu still didn't respond, Qi Heng said in a deep voice with a cold face.

Fuqiu glanced at her master. The master didn't say anything, which probably meant he agreed, so she stepped aside.

Not to mention, her palms were sweating.

For a moment, no one spoke in the yard. Qi Heng pushed the swing behind him patiently, while Qiao Rongjin sat there enjoying himself.

It was quite cool in the afternoon, and the feeling of the evening breeze blowing on my face was really comfortable, making me indulge in it. However, thinking that I still had to talk to Qi Heng about the things in the yard, I had to stop.

"Okay." Qiao Rongjin said.

Hearing this, Qi Heng stopped, held the swing with one hand, and reached out with the other to pull the person.

Although Qiao Rongjin felt a little sick, she didn't push him away. She resisted the urge to shake off his hand and got off the swing.

Seeing this, everyone present, except Qinglian, went about doing their own things.

"...Ajin."

"Is your Majesty not busy?"

They both spoke at the same time, and upon seeing this, they looked at each other.

Qiao Rongjin was still the same as usual, "Your Highness should be very busy these days, how come you have time to come to Haitang Courtyard?"

"I'm not busy. I came to see you because I missed Ajin." Qi Heng saw that Ajin looked normal, almost the same as usual, and he felt even more worried.

"Oh, since Your Highness is free, how about we talk about the courtyard?" When Qiao Rongjin talked about the courtyard, the light in his eyes was different, and he looked at Prince Rui expectantly.

Hearing this, Qi Heng responded with a "OK."

The two went to the main hall and sat down.

"I wonder which courtyard Ah Jin values?" Qi Heng spoke first, his eyes very gentle as he looked at the person who was drinking tea with his head down.

"I have my eyes on Yunshen Pavilion."

Qi Heng was a little surprised, "Are you sure you don't want to look at other ones? Isn't Yunshen Pavilion too remote?" The main reason was that Yunshen Pavilion was too far away from him. Although the courtyard was wide, no one had lived in it for many years, so it lacked popularity, and it was not one of the best courtyards in the palace.

He originally wanted to give her the uninhabited Waterside Residence which was closest to his study.

"No, I like Yunshen Pavilion and want to live there."

Qi Heng paused for a moment, still wanting her to be closer to him. "Isn't Shuixieju good? It's quite spacious there."

Qiao Rongjin looked at him strangely and asked puzzledly, "Could it be that someone has reserved Yunshen Pavilion?" That shouldn't be the case. I haven't heard of anyone wanting to move out of the courtyard recently.

"……No."

"That's good. I'll live there then."

"...Okay. I'll have it renovated. Oh, and, Jin, when we move in, how about we have a meal together as a family?" Qi Heng couldn't refuse the request of the person in front of him, so he agreed.

"I have no objection, Your Majesty, please do as you see fit."

Hearing this, Qi Heng felt empty inside.

Originally, he came back to promote her, although it was a promotion to the position of wife. But when A Jin gave birth to a child for him, he could naturally promote her to the position of concubine. However, he never expected that in the end, his father would directly decree to make A Jin a concubine. He felt a little regretful about this because he was not the one to do it.

Don’t think about it. After all, you haven’t coaxed the person yet.

Qiao Rongjin finished what he wanted to say and then started eating snacks.

Qi Heng was also struggling with how to explain why he brought Chen back.

So the whole main hall is very quiet now. Apart from Qinglian who is standing aside to serve, there are only two people left.

Qiao Rongjin knew what this man was trying to do, but he just pretended not to see it.

Qi Heng motioned Qinglian to go down, because he still couldn't help it. This atmosphere was really tormenting him. Looking at the woman who was slowly eating snacks, he still spoke, "Ajin, I can explain Chen's matter."

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin looked at him strangely, swallowed the cake in her mouth, and said puzzledly, "You are the prince, why do you need to explain to me what you want to do?"

This is indeed what Qiao Rongjin really thinks.

Hearing these casual yet sincere words, Qi Heng was choked up for once.

Because he was sure that the woman in front of him was not being sarcastic, she really felt that way, and that was why he felt so uncomfortable.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Ajin, I know that I have wronged you and Xiaowu by rescuing Chen and bringing her back to the mansion. But, you know, Ajin, I have been with Chen for many years after all. It would be a lie to say that I have no feelings for her. I can't let her go for a while. And Zhao'er is also involved. Anyway, I can't watch Chen being seriously injured and imprisoned. If her hands and feet hadn't been cut off, I would definitely not ask my father to bring her back. Ajin, you understand me, right?"

Without waiting for Qiao Rongjin to speak, Qi Heng continued, "Ajin, I know you blame me, but I can't just sit back and watch. Please don't ignore me, okay?" As he spoke, Qi Heng walked over and intended to hold Qiao Rongjin's hand, but Qiao Rongjin avoided him.

"Your Majesty, I am eating cakes, it is not convenient."

Hearing this, Qi Heng paused.

Qiao Rongjin put down the cake in her hand, lowered her head and wiped her hands with a handkerchief. There was a trace of sarcasm in her eyes, but when she looked up, it was gone. She said lightly, "Your Highness, you are overthinking. I am your concubine, how could I ignore you? Besides, I also know that you and Chen are in love with each other. You do this, and I understand, so you don't need to say so much to me."

Because she can understand, but not forgive.

There is nothing wrong with this. After all, she is not Buddha. It is Buddha's job to forgive them. She is just a narrow-minded person, and there is nothing wrong with admitting it.

As long as people's hearts are biased, what's the point of saying more? It's just a waste of words.
