Could it be that Consort Li finally proved herself and won the Emperor's favor?
If that's the case, wouldn't she be able to resign very soon?!
Jian Yang was so happy that her appetite improved a lot.
Little did she know that the reason the emperor didn't let her show affection that day was simply because he was worried she would catch a cold from the rain.
Days passed by, and recently the world was at peace, and there was nothing happening in the palace.
Once there was work to be done, Jian Yang would assign it to Consort Xian, while she herself would laze around in the palace, living a life of unbridled ease.
Unlike her, the emperor seems to be exceptionally busy lately and rarely comes to her palace for meals.
At first, Jian Yang was a little uncomfortable with the cheeky attitude, but later he almost forgot that there was such a person as the Dog Emperor.
Logically speaking, this kind of life should be the life of a parasite she had always dreamed of, but she always felt uneasy and had a feeling that something was going to happen.
Until this day, the Empress Dowager suddenly sent someone to summon him.
Jian Yang's heart skipped a beat.
Is this another attempt to pressure me to have children?
No, no, no, I clearly fooled her last time. The Empress Dowager has already agreed to let her adopt a child, so she probably won't insist that she have another one.
She couldn't understand why the Empress Dowager wanted to see her again, even though she had just paid her respects that morning.
Then, she never dreamed...
She unexpectedly encountered her beloved younger sister, Jian Fei, inside the Empress Dowager's palace!
Jian Yang's lips twitched instantly.
At this moment, Jian Fei was standing beside the Empress Dowager, looking obedient and serene.
Upon seeing her, he showed none of his earlier arrogance, but instead bowed gently and respectfully.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress."
His gentle, proper, and courteous demeanor clearly won the Empress Dowager's favor.
The old lady happily waved to Jian Yang, who was still somewhat stunned: "Empress, don't just stand there like an idiot, come here quickly."
She then walked over, her eyes full of doubt.
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "The Empress probably doesn't know yet, but your father, Prime Minister Jian, has already sent your younger sister into the palace. From now on, you two sisters must support each other and serve the Emperor well."
"Your subject understands," Jian Fei replied before she could.
Jian Yang: "..."
I'm speechless.
At this point, she finally understood what was going on.
So it turns out that her cheapskate father's promise to find a way for her was to send this annoying younger sister into the palace!
This is because they're afraid she'll live too comfortably; they'll create difficulties for her even when there aren't any!
Seeing the displeasure on Jian Yang's face, the Empress Dowager comforted her, "Empress, this is also your father's good intention. If your sister gives birth to an imperial heir, there will be no need to adopt from the princes. The child can be registered directly in your name. What do you think?"
Jian Yang: What a load of rubbish!
She would rather pick up a beggar from the street and raise him than raise Jian Fei's child.
Besides, is this really a question of whether or not to have children?
This is clearly a problem of the emperor being unable to conceive!
A cold glint flashed in Jian Fei's eyes.
They want to steal her child?
It also depends on whether Jian Yang can live to see that day!
Although her father repeatedly told her before she entered the palace to assist the Empress, she wouldn't listen.
There can only be one Empress. Why should Jian Yang be able to sit on the throne, but she can't?
Moreover, she had just heard from the Empress Dowager that Jian Yang was poisoned and would never have any children in her life. What right does a woman who cannot produce offspring for the royal family have to be the empress?
"Mother, does the Emperor know that my younger sister has entered the palace?"
Jian Yang did not respond to the Empress Dowager's suggestion.
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "I have already sent someone to invite the Emperor. He should be arriving soon."
No sooner had the words been spoken than a eunuch outside the door announced, "The Emperor has arrived."
Except for the Empress Dowager, everyone hurriedly bowed to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, you may rise." Zhou Jingzhi helped Jian Yang up, gave her a deep look, and then noticed Jian Fei beside the Empress Dowager.
He immediately frowned.
Jian Yang took the opportunity to glance at Jian Fei, and saw that a blush had already risen on her face.
Tsk tsk tsk, it seems she really likes the dog emperor.
After the emperor said "no need for formalities," Jian Yang sat down to the side, ready to watch the show.
Just now, she heard from the Empress Dowager that the Emperor was unaware that her father had sent Jian Fei into the palace.
Given the emperor's dislike for Jian Fei, this marriage is likely to fall through!
Although Jian Yang wished a woman could replace her so she could happily resign after finding the murderer.
But she didn't want this woman to be Jane!
There was no other reason than that she absolutely hated her brainless sister who always provoked her.
The thought of her successfully entering the palace made Jian Yang feel that she would die young.
But to everyone's surprise, when the emperor heard that the empress dowager wanted him to enjoy the blessings of having two wives, he agreed without hesitation.
Jian Yang: ? ? ?
That's it?
Then what was the point of him pretending before?
If you agree so easily, you might as well bring Jian Fei into the palace sooner!
Jian Yang immediately felt a surge of inexplicable anger.
Jian Fei had assumed that the emperor would refuse her entry into the palace.
So before entering the palace, she and her mother, Lady Wang, thought it over and decided to bypass the emperor and go directly to the Empress Dowager.
This dynasty values filial piety, so if the Empress Dowager agrees, the Emperor cannot possibly refuse.
She never expected things to go so smoothly, and her eyes and brows immediately lit up with joy.
The Emperor really does like her!
She immediately gave Jian Yang a provocative look.
Jian Yang rolled her eyes in response.
They're too lazy to even pretend anymore!
However, what happened next was somewhat unexpected.
From that day on, the emperor never set foot in Weiyang Palace again.
Although Jian Yang was happy to have some free time, it worried the young palace maids and eunuchs.
"Your Majesty, the osmanthus honey wine is ready. Would you like to send a pot to the Emperor?" Lianxia asked expectantly.
She refused outright.
"There aren't many to begin with, so we won't give any."
Lianxia was so anxious she almost cried!
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has not visited our Weiyang Palace for a long time. Aren't you worried?"
"What's there to worry about?" Jian Yang said contentedly, flipping through the storybook and sipping her osmanthus tea. "I don't want to make myself unhappy."
“But Your Majesty…” Lianxia was about to speak when Xiqiu tugged at her sleeve and slowly shook her head.
Jian Yang happened to notice their little tussle and asked curiously, "What are you two doing, pulling and tugging at each other like that?"
Lianxia yanked back her sleeve and said in a tearful voice, "Even if Xiqiu tries to stop me today, I will still say it, Your Majesty: the reason why the Emperor no longer comes to our Weiyang Palace is because he has been bewitched by another vixen!"
Jian Yang nearly spat out her osmanthus tea!
It's like the sun has risen in the west! The impotent emperor is actually obsessed with women.
That's really strange.
Taking the handkerchief Xiqiu handed her and wiping her mouth, Jian Yang asked with a curious look, "Could it be Consort Li?"
It seems that only a stunning beauty like Consort Li could cure an impotent man without medicine!
