In the dead of night, when Su Wanqing was sitting alone by the bed, listening to the sound of Prince Jing washing outside, she couldn't help but think of her mother's parting instructions: "Wanqing, after marrying into the palace, no matter what situation you encounter, you must remember your identity. Preserving yourself is the most important thing."
Su Wanqing sighed softly and began to sort out her thoughts silently. No matter how this marriage started, she had to work hard to find her own foothold in this deep house.
At this moment, there were slight footsteps outside, and then the door was gently pushed open.
"Your Majesty..." Su Wanqing looked up in surprise.
Jamel Xiao stood at the door. He had already changed into plain pajamas. His hair was half dry. He had obviously just finished taking a shower. He glanced at Su Wanqing with complicated eyes, then walked to the table and poured a cup of tea.
"You don't have to be so reserved," his tone was still cold, but a little gentler than before, "I will not criticize you harshly."
Su Wanqing nodded carefully, "Yes, I understand."
Jamel Xiao took a sip of tea and looked at the moonlight outside the window, seeming to be thinking about something. After a moment, he turned to Su Wanqing, "Have you ever thought about why His Majesty would marry you to me?"
Su Wanqing shook her head, "I don't know who I am. Maybe it's fate."
Xiao Jamyuan sneered, "Fate?" He put down the tea cup and said in a low voice, "Everyone in the court knows that this king has a perverse temperament and is not easy to get close to. His Majesty only proposed you to marry me to... Check and balance."
