Yi Mu didn't know who Gu Huai was.
But everyone was glancing at one man, and he knew that the elegant-looking man was the one who had captured Xiao Shiliu's heart.
This person looks quite handsome, but I don't know if he likes Sixteen.
As a modern person, Yi Mu's first thought is not about social status, but whether they like each other.
Sixteen is the original owner's twin sister. As an older brother, even though he was only born half an hour earlier than his sister, the original owner hoped that Sixteen would live a peaceful and happy life.
Yi Mu told Sixteen, "There's no rush to bestow a marriage upon you. Spend more time with him, and when you feel he is someone you can entrust your life to, your elder brother will surely bestow a marriage upon you."
Sixteen knew that he was protecting her.
She had thought she would become a sacrifice for Su Feng to win over the Yuezhi, and had already prepared herself for a distant marriage.
But this brother, who was known as a tyrant, stopped those disgusting ministers and saved her.
Sixteen sniffed and hugged Yi Mu affectionately, saying, "Brother, you're the best to me."
Yi Mu patted her head and smiled indulgently: "There are too many people here, you should ask him to go somewhere else to talk."
Sixteen nodded shyly.
Yi Mu walked toward the main seat where the Empress was seated, and unsurprisingly saw Ye Yunxiang staring at Bei Menlin with her beautiful eyes full of affection.
Was the original owner blind before?
He didn't care that his favorite concubine was flirting with other men, and continued to spoil her rotten.
The national treasury is already empty, yet they still want to build a skyscraper for this woman, simply because she said she wanted a glazed pagoda.
Yi Mu sat down, and the Queen handed him a glass of wine.
"The wine brought to the palace from foreign lands is not intoxicating; Your Majesty may only take a small sip."
Yi Mu took the wine cup she offered and smiled, "Your Majesty is very kind."
The Empress blushed. Recently, the Emperor had stopped visiting the Consort's courtyard and had instead become increasingly kind to her.
Although he never spent the night in her palace, he would come to talk to her whenever he had free time.
The empress had no relatives in the palace. Like any other woman, she relied on her husband to survive.
Her husband's favor allowed her to maintain her position in the harem.
As before, she, the empress, did not have as much power as the imperial concubine.
Any good things from the palace were sent over there as soon as possible.
Now that the Emperor's attitude towards the Consort has changed, the palace servants' attitudes have also changed, and they all come to curry favor with the Empress.
The Empress's gaze fell on Ye Yunxiang, a half-smile playing on her lips.
The final winner of this palace intrigue is still unknown.
Ignoring Ye Yunxiang's admiring gaze, Bei Menlin held his wine cup and drank one sip after another.
Ye Yunxiang is becoming increasingly brainless.
Her status was that of a Noble Consort. Even if she was favored by the Emperor, she was still flirting with other men in front of him. Was she just taking advantage of the Emperor's favor and acting with impunity?
It's so stupid it's unbearable to watch.
Yi Mu watched as he was being cuckolded; if he continued to endure it, he would become a cuckold himself.
"Has the Imperial Concubine finished copying the 'Precepts for Women'?"
Ye Yunxiang's attention was drawn back to the matter; she hadn't expected Yi Mu to still remember it.
She gently bit her lip; I loved her with tenderness.
"Your Majesty, I've finished copying, and my hands are sore."
In the past, the young emperor would have been extremely distressed and might even have personally massaged Ye Yunxiang's hands.
But he didn't.
Yi Mu nodded, changing the subject, and chatted with the Empress about everyday matters, completely ignoring the Consort.
There were also some other concubines in the palace present. Ye Yunxiang often mocked the other concubines because she was favored by the emperor.
Now that she's been humiliated, everyone has seen it and their faces are mostly filled with mockery.
