“Huang Yu, why do you have to put on this affectionate act? Aren't you tired?”
“You liked Xiao Yue, and she liked you. You two are true love.”
“I’m just a tool for your amusement.”
Huang Yu, upon hearing this, sank down against the wall, staring at me for a long while before curling his lips into a mocking smile.
“Liu Yun, I know you’ve always looked down on me.”
“The kindness you showed me back then was merely because you saw that I had caught Your Majesty’s favor.”
“You’re just like those court officials, using me.”
“But Yue'er is different; she never cared about my identity or status.”
“She only cares about me as a person.”
“Unlike you, who only seeks to use me.”
I frowned slightly.
Xiao Yue was indeed different from me.
Back when we attended banquets together, she would always ask me if Huang Yu and I admired each other.
How long had it been?
How did we meet?
How did we promise each other a lifetime?
Was I the one who clung to Huang Yu relentlessly?
…
It felt as if she deliberately wanted to expose our relationship in front of everyone.
It made me uncomfortable.
I smiled and retorted, “Miss Xiao seems so concerned about my Consort Only Loves White Moonlight; one might think you were the one who had eyes for him first.”
Xiao Yue's expression stiffened, and her eyes quickly turned red. "I was just concerned about Brother Huang. Why do you have to say that about me, Your Highness?"
She looked so pitiful.
Huang Yu immediately stepped in to mediate.
I thought this was just a farce that would end here.
Unexpectedly, at the banquet, Huang Yu started drinking alone.
Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and, fueled by alcohol, began to vent to everyone.
He said he was sorry for me, that he had let down my feelings.
He claimed he cared deeply for me, but our statuses were different.
He said that being with me was not his choice; he was merely drawn in by my charm and had been momentarily confused.
...
It was only at that moment that I realized Huang Yu had never been on my side.
He and Xiao Yue were the ones together.
The questions Xiao Yue asked, though they seemed foolish, were actually resonating with Huang Yu.
She was helping Huang Yu confirm that he and I were not on the same path.
My encounter with Huang Yu was one where I took the initiative while he passively accepted it.
My feelings for Huang Yu were something I pursued actively while he passively accepted them.
Everything stemmed from the fact that I was a princess and he was an ordinary person.
And I had merely taken an interest in him because of the Holy Favor bestowed upon him by Your Majesty.
Huang Yu's outburst made me completely sober up.
He truly had never pursued me actively.
It had always been me taking the initiative.
I smiled and comforted Huang Yu, "Even when you grow old and lose your looks in the future, you still have this face, right?"
"As long as I have this face, that's enough."
Huang Yu and I were embroiled in a fierce argument.
We dug up many old grievances, hurling accusations at each other, our words inflicting deep wounds.
This quarrel was no longer a simple dispute.
It had turned into an emotional outpouring from both sides, as well as a form of revenge.
I struck first.
We grappled with each other, turning the already chaotic room into a battlefield.
We were like two trapped beasts.
Killing each other seemed to be the only way to find relief.
But I knew I didn't have much time left.
What was there for me to fear?
I felt like I had gone mad, smashing things and hitting him.
Xiao Yue's portrait accidentally fell to the ground.
Huang Yu and I instinctively stopped our attacks.
Though he had fought back, he hadn't truly hurt me.
After all, he was a man.
I looked at his injured face and mocked, "Huang Yu, you weren't like this before."
"You used to be so impressive, full of vigor and youthful promise."
"Now, you have lost all your sharpness."
Huang Yu shot me a fierce glance. "Look at you now; you're acting like a lunatic."
I laughed, "That's right, I'm the crazy one."
"I'm dying, of course I'm insane."
"Huang Yu, you better kill me now, or I'll drag you down with me."
Huang Yu sneered, "Aren't you trying to take me down with you right now?"
"I'll tell you, that's impossible."
"I'll attach the divorce decree to our documents."
"I'll tell everyone that you, Huang Yu, Consort, are unfaithful."
"You..."
Huang Yu was speechless with anger, "How dare you!"
"You think just because you've gained Holy Favor, you can get a divorce?"
"Dream on!"
I was so furious I laughed.
What was wrong with my efforts to gain my father's attention?
I just wanted to live a little better through my own hard work; what was wrong with that?
I pointed at the door, "Get out!"
