She had thought this emperor was a hidden talent, but it turns out he was completely useless.
It wasn't until the Dowager Consort told her the truth about Yuan Ling's ascension to the throne that she believed that Yuan Ling became emperor because of Crown Princess Mo Yan. Now that the Empress was gone, he was like a wild horse that couldn't be restrained.
All her plans were put on hold, and she immediately went to the Dowager to carry out another plan.
In fact, she always knew what she wanted. Since Yuan Ling couldn't give it to her, then Yuan Ce would.
Yuan Ce is Yuan Ling's younger brother. He is the twelfth prince and the youngest son of the Dowager Consort.
Initially, the four concubines managed the harem, but Cheng Yan unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere, and now she is the one in charge of the harem.
She also released Ning Yixuan, and the two of them served Yuan Ling together.
The reason they got together was because Ning Yixuan was good at perfumery.
Ning Yixuan was having a very bad time in the Cold Palace, which happened to be seen by Cheng Yan. The two of them, being from the same hometown, were moved to tears upon seeing each other.
Ning Yixuan, that idiot, told Cheng Yan everything. Ning Yixuan's family makes perfumes, and the reason Yuan Ling was out of control was because she used perfume.
After the two of them hooked up—no, after they collaborated—Yuan Ling felt like he had entered paradise.
It was precisely because of his excessive indulgence that his health deteriorated, and he looked like he could collapse at any moment.
It was around this time that Cheng Yan became pregnant.
Consort Cheng Yan became pregnant, a cause for celebration throughout the land, and she was promoted to the rank of Consort.
God knows how priceless Yuan Ling's expression was when he found out.
Anyway, when this news came out, Mo Yan was laughing very happily at the manor.
Yuan Feng, who was working over there, felt very aggrieved. "Mother, when are we going back to the palace? It's almost winter, why do we still have to dig the ground!"
They promised to take him out of the palace to play, but instead he spent his days either reading or being thrown into the mountains for a wilderness survival challenge.
He personally experienced that farmers depend on the weather for their livelihood; if there is a natural disaster or man-made calamity, they will have nothing to eat.
He was also assigned to sell things, but he couldn't sell anything even after shouting all day.
In short, these past few months have been filled with hardship and suffering, making him realize the difficulties faced by ordinary people.
"Your father's concubine is pregnant. Let's eat vegetables today."
Yuan Feng: "???" What does this have to do with green vegetables?
"Hot pot?" Yuan Feng didn't mind. He could just eat vegetables, but he might want to have hot pot. Winter was the perfect time for hot pot.
"Sure, since we're going back to the palace tomorrow anyway, I'll grant your request."
It's time to go back, otherwise they've all forgotten that she, the Empress, still exists.
"Return to the palace???" Yuan Feng was a little confused. Wasn't it supposed to be staying for a while longer?
That night, the emperor fell into a coma in Ning Yixuan's palace.
Consort Cheng Yan immediately summoned the imperial physicians to examine the Emperor, and at the same time invited the twelfth prince and all the ministers to the palace.
The twelfth prince, accompanied by his five thousand guards, entered the palace in a grand procession.
After receiving the message, Mo Yan's lips curled up slightly. This year's palace intrigue is no good. They can't even hold their breath.
Meanwhile, in the palace, Yuan Ling stared wide-eyed at Cheng Yan before him.
Dressed in the attire of a noble concubine, she appeared extremely arrogant, while Yuan Ling tugged at the yellow ribbon in front of the bed with relentless force.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to pull anymore. I already had it sewn up. No matter how you pull, it won't make a difference."
"Why? Didn't you say you trusted me and wouldn't collude with the Dowager Consort and Yuan Ce? I even gave you the title of Imperial Consort."
"Because you can't give me the position of empress, but he can."
"Your Majesty, I've put a green hat on you."
