Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Chapter 114 Breakup

"Sorry, I'm late."

Xie Junyi was filled with guilt, as he should have been with her the entire day.

This was their first birthday together, but he went to spend time with another woman first.

"It doesn't matter. She is your wife. You should have gone to accompany her first."

Meng Xiyue poured him a glass of wine.

"Yue'er..."

I know that she cares the most about the title of queen, but now she actually said it out loud.

Meng Xiyue raised the glass, drank it all, and looked up at the sky, "The moonlight today is so beautiful."

"Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a day for families to reunite, so the moon will naturally become round."

She was looking at the moon, while Xie Junyi was looking at her, "Yue'er, I will be with you on your birthday every year from now on."

Meng Xiyue smiled and said, "You know what, I hated the most today, my birthday?"

"Why?"

"Because this day is not only my birthday, but also a day for family reunion. Therefore, my father always has to accompany his wife and has no time to spend my birthday with me."

Meng Xiyue sighed, "I never expected him either. I just wanted to live with my mother, but my mother was expecting my father to come."

"On my birthday, I will be dressed like a princess. My mother will prepare a sumptuous meal and buy a big cake. Then the two of us will sit at the dining table."

"She waited from dawn to dusk, until after twelve o'clock, when my birthday was over and she was sure that he would not come again, then my mother would leave sadly."

"And I will light the candles alone and make a wish."

Meng Xiyue raised her eyes, her face full of tears, "You know what? My wish every year is the same, I hope my father can come over on my birthday next year."

"I want a family of three to sit together and happily spend my birthday with me."

“But it never came to fruition.”

Xie Junyi felt heartbroken when he heard this. He had no idea that Meng Qingxiang treated her like this.

He didn't even spend her birthday with her, no wonder she only let Aunt Wen come over today.

"I'll be with you from now on."

Meng Xiyue shook her head. "Xie Junyi, do you understand what I mean?"

There was confusion in his eyes.

"I don't want to become like my mother, and I don't want my future children to live the same life I did."

That is a pain that can never be healed in a lifetime.

"Will not."

Xie Junyi grabbed her hand in a panic, "I won't do this. I won't let you wait for me, and I won't make the child sad."

"I will love and care for you well, please believe me."

"But I don't believe in myself." There was despair in Meng Xiyue's eyes.

"I will become like my mother, anxious about gains and losses, jealous and crazy. You know, I have never been a generous person."

"Yue'er."

Xie Junyi called her name somewhat weakly, "You won't."

Meng Xiyue looked at him and suddenly asked.

"My Lord, how did you feel when I was about to marry Zhang Yan?"

Xie Junyi was slightly stunned, and hatred flashed in his eyes, "I just want to cut him into pieces."

The man was just one step away from marrying his most beloved woman, so locking him up for just a few days was really a bargain for him.

"Then, Your Majesty, have you ever thought that when you want to marry another woman, I feel the same way."

Meng Xiyue smiled bitterly, "But I don't have the ability. I'm not a prince with great power. There's no way I can wipe out that person with just one sentence."

"So I can only torture myself, and wear myself out bit by bit in jealousy and pain."

Xie Junyi froze as if he had been struck by lightning.

He only considered things from his own perspective and never thought about it from her perspective.

Perhaps he thought it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and that women should stay in the backyard to take care of their husbands and children, and that women could also serve one man together.

There's nothing wrong with that.

But he, not just him, everyone ignored the fact that women would also be jealous, and they could not bear to see their beloved husbands favoring other women.

Whenever women try to resist, they are labeled as jealous.

Gradually, people are increasingly ignoring their true feelings.

He used to think that Meng Xiyue was unwilling to be a concubine because she was too proud and wanted a higher position by relying on his favor.

But it was not until she was about to marry Zhang Yan that he realized that for her, a husband who only loved her was far more important than all the power.

What she cares about is only herself, never her identity.

"Yue'er, I'm sorry."

"Your Majesty has never wronged me. We are not the same kind of people."

After saying all these words, she felt a little relieved.

"My Lord, what do you like about me?"

"I don't know either. From the first moment I saw you, there was no room for other women in my eyes."

She was like an elf, and she immediately entered his heart.

Hearing this, Meng Xiyue smiled, "Then Your Majesty, do you know what love at first sight is all about?"

"what?"

"The clock is for the skin."

Meng Xiyue touched her face and said, "This face does have some assets."

"Yue'er, I like your looks, but I can get any woman no matter how beautiful she is. If it's just your looks, I won't have to have you."

Xie Junyi got a little angry when he heard her say that he liked her appearance.

He has never been a person who is tempted by beauty, nor is he someone who will be deceived by appearance.

Her words belittled him and even more so herself.

"Yeah, you can get any woman you want, why does it have to be me?"

Meng Xiyue suddenly asked emotionally, "You keep saying you love me, but you keep hurting me. You can't give me what I want."

"Is this love?"

"Meng Xiyue, can't you feel how the king feels about you?"

Xie Junyi didn't expect her to question him like this.

She could doubt everything, but she could not doubt his sincerity towards her.

"All I feel is control, Xie Junyi, this love of yours is what you want to give, but it's not what I want."

"What did you say?"

"I said your love, I don't want it."

Meng Xiyue said word by word, "Xie Junyi, the only person you love most is yourself. I don't want this kind of love, and I don't want it."

"From now on, I will only love myself, and I will cut ties with you."

Xie Junyi's eyes were red, and he tried hard to hold back his anger. "Don't even think about it. You will never escape from my grasp in this life. You have taken my heart, and you must pay it back for the rest of your life."

"For a lifetime? Okay, then I'll give you a lifetime."

Meng Xiyue smiled, and suddenly she took out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed it into her abdomen.

Her snow-white dress was gradually tinged with red, like a blooming peach blossom.

"I can finally leave."
