“I know about this. His Majesty is so biased. I went to great lengths to find an ancient book, but His Majesty didn’t even bother to look at it.” Yin Lan couldn’t help but complain as well.

“That’s right, we also gave His Majesty gifts back then, so it was the same thing.” Several other women chimed in with reproachful expressions.

Wang Yan stepped forward and took Song Yue's arm, laughing, "This shows that His Majesty doesn't care about the value of the gifts, only the sentiment. You two need to work harder!"

Then Wang Yan asked, "And then what happened? What happened next?"

"Later, His Majesty fainted, and I accompanied my mother to the palace. I heard that His Majesty had fainted from exhaustion due to overwork in handling state affairs. From that moment on, my mind was filled with thoughts of His Majesty..."

By the end, Song Yue's voice was barely audible.

Liu Hong, however, was deeply moved upon hearing this. He had never expected that, besides his mother and the Empress Dowager, there would be a third woman who cared about him so much.

Remembering the recipe the Empress Dowager had given him, Liu Hong looked at Song Yue's back with tenderness in his eyes.

Initially, Liu Hong was indeed attracted by Song Yue's tranquility, and he made her empress because of her personality. However, today, Liu Hong has developed a different kind of feeling.

Just then, Wang Yan laughed and said, "Do you know what? Once when I accompanied my sister, the Empress, out, we even ran into His Majesty!"

"Really? Did His Majesty speak to you?"

Wang Yan raised an eyebrow: "Of course, at that time His Majesty was carrying the little princess and leading Cai's sister to a cloth shop, where my sister and I happened to be.

Wang Yan then lowered her voice with a grin, "You know what? When His Majesty saw my sister, his eyes widened, and he spoke with such... "

"Sister, don't talk nonsense."

Just as Wang Yan was about to tell everyone about the emperor's awkward conversation, Song Yue quickly interrupted her.

"Cough cough~!"

Just then, Liu Hong coughed lightly and walked out from behind the pillar.
