Chapter 190 Coveting the Empress's Position



"You've lost weight." Emperor Yuanwu's face darkened.

Consort Shu: ...

Is it really necessary to go to such extremes?

It only took two days.

Besides.

Whether in the palace or the Huguo Temple, Mu Qianqian could only drink milk.

She can't eat anything else.

How could I have lost weight?

Mu Qianqian nodded in agreement with what Emperor Yuanwu said.

She nestled in Mu Qianqian's arms, looking utterly wronged.

Consort Shu: ...

Okay!

She was the unnecessary one.

Mu Qianqian nestled on Emperor Yuanwu's shoulder and acted coquettishly for a while before straightening up.

She kept gesturing with her hands in front of her chest, while making "ee-ee-ya-ya" sounds.

Father, you have no idea about that wolf from Huguo Temple.

It's so big.

They almost bit into their mother's heart.

Fortunately, Master Wuyu arrived in time and drove the pack of wolves away.

And my uncle, he almost got eaten by wolves while trying to save me.

And my mother too.

When the wolf pounced, my mother shielded me with her body, preferring to be bitten herself rather than let the wolf kill her.

That really scared me to death...

Consort Shu: ...

If she hadn't witnessed Mu Qianqian's anger leading to the wolves being crippled, she would have been in a much worse situation.

She almost believed it!

And then there's Emperor Yuanwu.

She didn't know if he could really understand Mu Qianqian's baby talk.

Anyway, Mu Qianqian said "Ah" every time.

He would earnestly nod in agreement.

No one could understand what they were saying.

On the contrary, the two of them were quite harmonious in their "ah" sounds.

After Emperor Yuanwu learned of this matter...

He ordered the construction of a fence around Huguo Temple and rewarded those who accompanied Consort Shu and protected Consort Shu and Mu Qianqian.

Yikun Palace

The Empress is copying scriptures in the palace.

Consort Liang brought homemade pastries to Yikun Palace: "Greetings to Your Majesty the Empress."

"What brings you here today?" The Empress glanced at her absentmindedly.

"The lotus flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom, so I picked some and made some desserts to bring to Her Majesty the Empress," Consort Liang said ingratiatingly.

"You've put your heart into this." The Empress put down the Buddhist scripture in her hand, clearly lacking energy.

"Your Majesty, why are you copying Buddhist scriptures here?" Consort Liang asked in surprise.

"I'm just killing time when I have nothing to do," the Empress said listlessly. "Ever since the Emperor stripped me of my power to manage the harem, I've been living a very leisurely life."

"Isn't that right?" Consort Liang said sourly, "Now, Consort Shu is showered with favor thanks to her precious daughter. In all dynasties, it was the empress who went to Huguo Temple to pray for blessings. Now, Consort Shu has changed this rule."

"It wasn't because Princess Chang'an changed the Seventh Princess's 100-day celebration, saying she was going to pray for the Seventh Princess's well-being," the Empress said sullenly.

"So Your Majesty, you are still too kind and too trusting."

Consort Liang's expression was somewhat complicated: "Although it is said to be to pray for the Seventh Princess, in the eyes of outsiders, Consort Shu represents the royal family."

The Empress gradually sat up straight and responded with a drawn-out "Oh..."

"Isn't she blatantly declaring her current status?" Consort Liang said, moving half a body closer to the Empress. "If you say she doesn't covet your position as Empress, even the rats in this palace wouldn't believe it..."
