The Empress Dowager only learned of this when she returned, and then sent someone to summon Yun Xiyue.
"As the Empress, it is your responsibility to manage the harem and produce offspring."
"How could I let the Emperor worry about you!"
After the Empress Dowager returned, she seemed much more energetic and spoke with a strong voice.
It seems that the treatment method of the "ghost hand" is very effective.
When they summoned her, they deliberately sent Ghost Hand away.
Yun Xiyue was not afraid of the Empress Dowager. "Your Majesty, my wife and the Emperor have only been married for a few months. Some people only become pregnant one or two years after marriage."
"Just like Your Majesty the Empress Dowager herself, it took many years for you to give birth to the Emperor."
The Empress Dowager's expression changed slightly, and she slammed her hand on the table. "How dare you!"
"Your Majesty, I dare not!" Yun Xiyue said neither humbly nor arrogantly. "As for the harem, I believe I have managed it quite well. It is only because Consort Shu and Consort Gui were punished by His Majesty that they brought it upon themselves."
The Empress Dowager breathed her last, her eyes narrowed as she stared sharply at her. "Although I gave birth to the Emperor later, I conceived the Eldest Princess three months after marrying the late Emperor."
"You have been married to the Emperor for three months now, not to mention that you followed him when you went to the border, but you have not conceived yet. That is your problem."
Yun Xiyue did not deny it, saying, "Everyone's physical condition is different."
"It can't be my problem just because I got pregnant late."
The Empress Dowager snorted, "I'll give you another year. If you still can't conceive, then you can stop occupying the position of Empress."
"This position was never meant for you."
......
As soon as she left Funing Palace, she encountered Ghost Hand, who seemed sullen and unhappy.
Ghost Hand immediately understood that the Empress Dowager was talking about her again.
"Don't listen to her, she won't have a chance to cause you trouble again."
Yun Xiyue didn't care much about the Empress Dowager's nagging. "Master, don't do anything to the Empress Dowager. After all, she is the Emperor's mother."
"I know. I heard you're going to Jiangnan?"
"Ah."
Ghost Hand wanted to go too, but following her might lead to trouble.
After chatting for a while, Ghost Hand went to see the Empress Dowager. Her days were filled with activities, and she really didn't have time to look for Yun Xiyue again.
Pei Fang and Zeng Rou were both punished.
Hearing that the Emperor was going to Jiangnan, the concubines in the harem were all eager to go with him.
They started seeking out more of Murong Yu's concubines.
First it was Liu Musheng.
She felt that Pei Fang and Zeng Rou lost because they were old and didn't have money.
The national treasury is now empty, and the emperor's trip to Jiangnan is all for money.
She's rich! And younger than Yun Xiyue, so the Emperor will definitely like her. After observing for so long, she finally made her move, but she's been rejected several times in a row.
"Hmph, how is it? Has Sister Liu successfully won the Emperor's favor?" Qi Yumin couldn't help but gloat when she saw her return with a dark expression.
The two lived in one palace, and Shen Huan lived with them as well.
Shen Huan is timid. Since the Shen family has offended the Empress, she keeps a low profile and never shows her face.
Liu Musheng was already in a bad mood, and when she saw that the other woman was mocking her, she instantly became angry. "What's there to be proud of! At least I got to see the Emperor, but what about you? You can't even get to see him, and you can only spend your whole lives alone in the deep palace."
She has the Liu family and the eldest princess behind her.
It's relatively easy to make the trip to Jiangnan.
Qi Yumin straightened her back, and she was confident. "Hmph, the Emperor hates it when you offer yourselves up to him. Haven't you heard that offering yourself up to him is degrading?"
"I'm younger than you."
"When you are all old, I will still be as beautiful as a flower, and the Emperor will naturally favor me."
Liu Musheng was furious. She hated it when she brought up age; she was only three years older than her.
The two immediately started arguing and even fighting.
Shen Huan stepped in to mediate the fight, but ended up getting dragged into it instead.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened."
