She really felt that way.
Consort Zhen did not come to the palace to accompany the emperor; she came to keep Consort Shu company.
Emperor Yuanwu, who used to visit the inner palace only a few times a month.
Now he spends his days and nights in Consort Zhen's Qingfeng Garden, and his days in Qiluan Garden.
Upon closer examination...
She hadn't seen the Emperor for almost half a month.
If Consort Shu is out of confinement, she can serve the emperor.
Wouldn't that mean the entire harem would become their domain?
The more the Empress thought about it, the more suffocated she felt, and she hadn't been able to sleep for several days.
Consort Liang stood beside the Empress, gently massaging her temples.
"Your Majesty, please don't be so upset. Consort Zhen has just entered the palace, and the Emperor's novelty hasn't worn off yet. It's understandable that he would favor her a few more times."
The Empress did not speak, but sighed silently in her heart.
Although she knew that as an empress, she could not compete with the concubines in the palace for favor.
She must consider the well-being of the royal offspring and serve as a model for the nation.
But the thought of personally sending another woman to her man's bed is unbearable.
And yet, her own man likes her so much.
She felt as if a huge stone was lodged in her heart, making it hard to breathe.
Seeing that the Empress remained silent, Consort Liang continued to persuade her, "Men are all the same. Once the novelty wears off, they all end up the same way. I heard that Ning Kingdom has sent five beauties. Isn't this just the right time?"
It was just right to dampen Consort Zhen's arrogance.
The two were talking.
The eunuch at the door announced the news.
"Five beauties request an audience!"
Consort Liang followed the Empress to the main hall.
Five beautiful women: "Your Majesty, we pay our respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed."
The Empress weakly raised her hand: "Get up."
The five beauties said, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress! Long live the Empress!"
"Now that we're in the palace, we're all sisters, no need for formalities. Please take a seat," the Empress said softly.
Five beautiful women: "Thank you, Empress Xie."
The Empress had already seen the portraits of these five beauties before they entered the palace.
However, when I met them in person, I was still amazed by their stunning appearance.
She pointed to one of the women, dressed in a blue robe, with captivating phoenix eyes and a touch of exotic charm, and asked, "What's your name...?"
"Your Majesty, my name is Qingyan." Qingyan rose and bowed. "My other four sisters are named Ruyan, Feiyan, Zhiyan, and Qiyan."
Empress: ...
The empress, who already had a headache.
I heard the names of five people.
I felt a throbbing sensation in my temples.
Are the characters from Ningguo really that precious?
They even come up with names like "Smoke" and "Smoke".
How could she possibly remember that?
However, it seems the emperor doesn't seem to have much interest in them.
They were simply placed in a palace next to the Cold Palace.
The emperor couldn't be bothered to pay them any attention.
What is she arguing about with them here?
"If there's nothing else, you may leave. I'm not feeling well and need to rest," the Empress said with a sigh.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The five people had just left Yikun Palace.
Ruyan couldn't contain herself any longer: "Tell me, what exactly do the Emperor and Empress of the Yuan Kingdom mean?"
The smoke remained silent.
He simply turned his head and glanced at Yikun Palace.
"Are we just going to grow old and die in this Yuan Kingdom palace?" Zhiyan's eyes reddened.
Qingyan pursed her lips: "Sisters, don't worry, we've only been in the palace for a day. Let me think of another way..."
