The Empress Dowager choked.
Looking at Long Yi's brothers, he indeed has the most offspring.
In this situation, her request for him to have more children seemed like empty talk.
But he still gritted his teeth and continued, "Of course, the more offspring the better. This will also let the world know that the late emperor, who was barren, was far inferior to you."
Long Yi nodded: "What the Queen Mother said makes some sense."
When he returns to Wanyou later, he will ask her to give birth to another child for him, hoping that they will have more children.
The Empress Dowager continued, "Now that the Empress has been canonized, the remaining concubines should also have their positions."
Having said this, he looked at the nanny standing beside him.
The nanny understood and went next door to find Ling who had been waiting for a long time.
Ling came gracefully and came in front of Long Yi, bowing: "Long live the emperor."
Long Yi said, "You're old now, can't you walk more gracefully?"
It was obvious that he had no waist and had to twist his body to walk, which made his eyes hurt.
When I think of Wanyou, her natural posture is so beautiful.
Ling choked and wanted to cry.
I forced myself to hold it back.
Long Yi added, "The dress you're wearing is almost bright red, so you shouldn't wear it in the future."
Ling had no choice but to agree.
She was naturally aware that bright red was the color that the queen could wear, and she deliberately chose the color that was closest to bright red. Unexpectedly, the emperor pointed it out.
The Empress Dowager noticed Ling's embarrassment and said, "After all, she was your principal wife for over ten years. In fact, that's longer than Qiao's. Why can't she wear this color? It's not bright red."
"What the Queen Mother said is true." Long Yi said calmly, "Let her wear it if she wants."
Ling was overjoyed: "Thank you, Queen Mother, thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Empress Dowager took the opportunity to say, "Ling's previous position is still there. The Emperor should grant her the position of Imperial Noble Consort."
"I'm afraid Queen Mother has forgotten why I removed her from her position as principal consort."
"If anyone knew that Qiao had two other children besides Wenyu when she returned to Beijing, wouldn't they think of other things? She's doing this for your own good."
Long Yi raised his eyebrows: "In this case, mother should also treat everyone equally."
As he spoke, he said to Eunuch Han who was following behind him, "Go and find all the concubines."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Han responded and left.
The Empress Dowager was confused: "Emperor?"
"Mother." Long Yi smiled, "Let's take this opportunity to talk openly."
Ling stood aside. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor did not allow her to sit down, so she had no choice but to stand.
After waiting for a long time, all the concubines except the queen arrived.
All the women saluted in unison: "Greetings to the Empress Dowager, greetings to the Emperor."
"Everyone, get up." The Empress Dowager's face was already displeased.
Long Yi cleared his throat and said, "My Queen Mother said she would give you a status, and I think it's time to do so."
The Empress Dowager: “…”
How could she mean that?
The women said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager!"
The Empress Dowager had no choice but to smile and nod.
Long Yi said solemnly: "I want to establish four concubines and nine concubines. The four concubines are Noble Consort, Good Consort, Virtuous Consort, and Virtuous Consort. They are all among you."
The women all listened with bated breath.
But then Long Yi said, "As for who it will be, I haven't decided yet. From now on, you will all work hard. Whoever is qualified for a certain character will take on that role."
All the women said yes.
"It's getting late. I should go back to take care of official business. You guys talk to the Queen Mother."
Long Yi stood up and left without waiting for the Empress Dowager to say anything.
The women were eager to show themselves and rushed towards the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager sighed deeply.
With a stern face, he let the women pinch his shoulders and beat his legs. He was really impatient and said in a low voice: "Let's go, I'm tired."
The women had no choice but to say yes and leave.
Ling walked the slowest, and when no one else noticed, she returned to the Empress Dowager.
"Aunt, it's fine if the Emperor doesn't want to make me the Imperial Consort, but why did he tell them that anyone has a chance?"
The Empress Dowager squinted her eyes and looked at Ling: "You should take good care of your face. Even the blind Qiao is more beautiful than you."
"Shui Ling? But I'm no longer a teenage girl."
I don’t know how Qiao can be so beautiful and charming at their age.
"Qiao doesn't look like she's in her teens, but she's more charming than you. Which man doesn't like a charming woman?" the Empress Dowager said again.
Ling snorted, "She's blind, so she doesn't have to do a lot of things herself."
That was the only reason she could think of.
"While you were in the palace, was there anything you needed to worry about or do?"
"Aunt, I will dress up and take good care of myself."
"Go ahead."
As she spoke, the Empress Dowager sighed inwardly.
Some things, such as appearance and body structure, are innate.
People who are naturally beautiful have an advantage over those who are not so good-looking.
For example, Qiao is indeed good-looking. When she was young, she was better looking than Ling. Now that she is older, Qiao not only maintains her youthful appearance, but also has a more mature charm.
On the other hand, the Ling family.
She has been well taken care of in recent years, but she is still not as beautiful as those who are naturally beautiful.
One can tell at a glance that Ling is old, even with heavy makeup on, one can still tell her age at a glance.
This is just appearance, including the face.
Speaking of body shape.
Even though Qiao was wearing a fluttering dress, her waist and hips were clearly defined, and her curves aroused men's fantasies.
As for Ling, she has a straight waist. No matter how much she diets, her waist and hips are always in a straight line.
Come to think of it, all the women in her family are like this, so it’s not just Ling’s fault.
