Even if they saw it, or caused some trouble in the harem, what effect would it have? In the end, wouldn't they just be disliked and lose more than they gain? Why are so many people still vying to do such a losing proposition?
Siying knew that her mistress was a woman of good judgment, so she didn't say much. Sometimes she felt that her mistress was an exceptionally intelligent person, able to guess and calculate everything, and then take precautions in advance.
I don't know why, but His Majesty has never shown the Empress any favor. If she hadn't entered the palace, would my Empress be happier now?

Yu Jingchen had just finished court when Xinglai came to report on what had happened in the harem that day. Yu Jingchen was not surprised; wasn't this kind of scene always playing out?
"Tell the people we previously assigned to He'an Palace to be extra careful. Don't let anyone take advantage of the situation, and make sure Consort Shu is safe." Yu Jingchen was also a little worried.
"Yes, they've been keeping an eye on things over there, nothing will happen." Xinglai knew the Consort Shu's current standing in His Majesty's heart, so she had been keeping it in mind.
"Let's prepare the imperial carriage and the palace." Yu Jingchen's decision was not surprising at all. To be honest, Xinglai had already prepared the imperial carriage long ago.
When Yu Jingchen arrived at He'an Palace, Nan Zhiyun was still asleep. At that moment, there was someone there who wanted to see Consort Shu, Zhao Zhaorong, the mother of the Second Princess.
She originally wanted to see Nan Zhiyun, but upon seeing Yu Jingchen, she immediately went to greet him.
"Your Majesty, this concubine greets you." Consort Zhao bowed gracefully.
"Consort Shu is still asleep, go back." Yu Jingchen said succinctly.
Zhao Zhaorong felt awkward for a moment.
"Your Majesty..." Zhao Zhaorong called out, and Yu Jingchen glanced at her: "Is there anything else?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me... It's just that I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, and Wan'er misses Your Majesty very much." Zhao Zhaorong looked pitiful, as if she had a lot of grievances. Wan'er is the Second Princess Yu Wan'er, who is now five years old.
"I remember Yu Wan'er should be six years old this year," Yu Jingchen suddenly remembered.
"Yes, Wan'er will be six years old this March." Zhao Zhaorong was somewhat surprised and delighted. She hadn't expected His Majesty to remember. Did this mean that His Majesty still cared about them?
"You probably don't want her to leave her own mother like the eldest princess, do you?" Yu Jingchen's eyes were slightly cold.
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Zhaorong panicked upon hearing this and immediately knelt down.
"I allowed you to give birth to this child, but that doesn't mean you can use this child as a tool. If you don't care about her or cherish her, then she can naturally belong to someone else." Yu Jingchen's words were very clear, and Zhao Zhaorong dared not say another word.
"Kneel here and reflect on your actions for an hour." Yu Jingchen left with only these cold words.
Although Zhao Zhaorong was somewhat unhappy, she dared not say anything and could only obediently accept the punishment. Yu Jingchen remembered that in her previous life, Yu Wan'er was not like a princess at all; she was timid and hesitant in everything she did.
He didn't like that kind of personality, but... he did try to pamper her a little more later on, but unfortunately, he ultimately didn't have that much patience.
Yu Jingchen stopped thinking about those things and only hoped that this time would be different.
He stepped into the He'an Palace, lifted the window curtain, and smiled indulgently at the little girl who was sleeping soundly with her pillow in her arms.
Nan Zhiyun showed no signs of waking up. She was hugging her pillow tightly, her mouth slightly open, her little face flushed from sleep, and she looked extremely cute.
Yu Jingchen went up to the bed and sat down on the edge of it.
