No one dared to sit down; they all stood silently, waiting for the Empress to unleash her power.

The Empress had already broken several of her fingernails. Today, He Beiyi had made her look foolish in front of all the concubines. Since he had shown her such disrespect, she shouldn't blame him for being ruthless towards his new lover!

She spoke coldly: "None of you have fulfilled your duty to advise me today. Go down and copy the palace rules ten times. I want to see them first thing tomorrow morning!"

Copy the palace rules ten times?!

Then they won't be getting any rest tonight.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

He Beiyi carried Li Yunyan back to Chonghua Palace, where they had lunch. He even insisted on holding her and taking a nap.

Fortunately, the royal family had strict rules of etiquette, and He Beiyi had been strictly taught since childhood, so he would never do anything like lewdness in broad daylight.

Li Yunyan let him hold her and took a nap.

After getting up in the afternoon, He Beiyi returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to review memorials.

Li Yunyan finally had some free time and familiarized herself with Chonghua Palace inside and out, then put Li Mama in charge of the palace's trivial matters.

As soon as He Beiyi returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he sent many gifts to Li Yunyan.

The eunuchs who came to deliver the rewards all fawned over her. They were all seasoned veterans in the palace and knew that the lady before them was the emperor's darling, and they were not to be offended.

Li Yunyan treated them kindly, had Li Mama give each eunuch a reward, and then saw them off with a smile.

She possessed many exquisite jewelry, fine silks, and precious jade ornaments in the previous small world.

After a brief look, he had Xiangxia put it into the storage.
