?Chapter 419: Chapter 419: I Bestow Upon You Unrivaled Wealth and Honor Chapter 419: Chapter 419: I Bestow Upon You Unrivaled Wealth and Honor Consort Jing did not feel that Mei Yuzong had changed.
From the first glance she saw him in the palace, she noticed he was as gentle and composed as before, not at all like the mad Emperor.
The Emperor had already ruined his health with excesses of wine and women, the former Noble Lady Hui, later Consort Qin, both of whom had driven the Emperor to physical ruin. Now, drinking all sorts of tonics could not suppress the old man’s scent that clung to him.
The Emperor was no longer young; a serious illness had aged him by more than ten years. Without his Dragon Robe and the wealth and power it represented, the Emperor would appear much older than his contemporaries.
When Consort Jing followed the Emperor, she and Mei Yuzong had been together for nearly a year. But at that time, she was only fifteen, and had just turned seventeen when she gave birth to the Third Prince.
Now, the Third Prince was in his early twenties, and she, after so many years in the palace, was actually not even forty yet.
Mei Yuzong was only three years her senior, having just entered his forties not long ago.
Compared to the Emperor who looked to be in his sixties, Mei Yuzong was lean, tall and straight, scholarly, with a distinctive clarity to his face that was unique to Jiangnan, like a mountain emptied after rain, tranquil and serene, carrying a certain quality that, in Consort Jing’s eyes, was very special.
From the moment Mei Yuzong picked up the cherished handkerchief with utmost care, Consort Jing’s thoughts sparked like water droplets in hot oil, boiling over with agitation.
Perhaps, she thought Mei Yuzong hadn’t changed because he was not sycophantic or vulgar, clear and refreshing, matching the image she had of Mei Yuzong in her mind.
