C40 (1/2)

Yu Ling Jing and Qi Wan were seated facing each other, each holding a cup of tea, slowly drinking. Suddenly, the man spoke. His voice was deep and low. ”Actually, I have a special understanding of what you want to take revenge on.”

”You understand that, but I don't see it.” He always felt that what he said was especially funny. He had never lost anyone, so how could he understand such an emotion?

”Then let me tell you this, my childhood?” Yu Ling Jing slowly closed his eyes, recalling the past. More than ten years had passed, but many things were still fresh in his mind, and he would never forget them.

Yu Lingjing was the late emperor's youngest son, and he received a lot of favors when he was born. Even though the late emperor had no lack of sons, he had grown up to be a fan and sculpted son.

Ever since she was young, the old nanny at her side had told him that Yu Ling Jing was his mother's lucky star. Because of his arrival, her mother had been promoted from the position of concubine to that of concubine. Even his not-so-prominent family members had received many benefits. His mother was always smiling gently in front of him, just like the warmth of the winter sun. However, there were also many times when he would secretly peek at his mother sitting alone in the corner, in a daze, frowning with exhaustion in his eyes and face.

However, at that time, he was still young. He was simply unable to understand why his mother, even though she was clearly very well off, would always have a worried expression on her face. Hai, he realized that every time he ran over to tell his mother to hug him, her mother would give him a real smile and then hug him, gently coaxing him. Her mother had given him the best love in the world.

As for her father, who was also the late emperor, he gave her a lot of things. She wanted to accompany him and play with him, but she liked him even more and wanted to see his studies to receive the praise of his teacher. His martial arts had improved a lot, but he didn't like this kind of situation. He wanted his father to simply accompany him, chat with him and accompany his mother, but she knew that this was an extremely extravagant wish.

In this palace, there was no concubine who could be doting on him for a long time. Although Yu Lingjing's position as an imperial concubine had improved due to him, he didn't have the backing of his parents. Although his position was not as awkward as those who had turned from a palace maid to a concubine, he could not say much on many occasions. He could not be impudent, and of course, he also did not want to let it go. If others were angered, they could still vent their anger on someone lower than them, but since he was so kind, she would never take her anger out on him.

However, people who were too kind in the palace never got any benefits. In order to be young and truly have to protect themselves in the palace, they had to learn how to scheme, and how to guard against others. But his mother was just that kind. He never hurt anyone, but that didn't mean he would let them hurt him. Therefore, he was always extremely low-key in his heart. The clothes he wore were also as plain as he could be. She didn't fight for it. Unfortunately, there were always some people who were sick with red eyes and disliked everyone. He would mock those who were worse off than him, and those who were better off, he would be jealous.

She wasn't favoured by the Emperor, but because you didn't have a concubine to look for, even if those concubines came here sometimes, it would just be a few sarcastic remarks from them. He can ignore them, but after the Emperor's occasional favor, she got pregnant and then the trouble came again, even though he was careful enough that the concubines didn't succeed in their plot, he had successfully given birth to this child.

But this also meant that his life would no longer be peaceful. There would be people who would want to hurt him and his children. He had to make himself stronger. Yu Ling Jing was a very smart person, but to a smart person, she was only a woman. He would be very fragile, and she needed the protection of others, but the people she could rely on didn't want to protect her. Yu Ling Jing looked at his mother's gentle smile as she silently cried.

He felt that there was always a sense of worry in his mother's eyes about the future, and he looked at her with a look of love and concern and regret.
