Consort Xi was actually hiding outside, secretly watching what the two of them were doing.
A soft moan suddenly came from inside, and those large, peach-blossom-like eyes stared in disbelief.
So Fu Lingtian liked the Emperor, but the Emperor didn't like him, so he forced himself on the Emperor?
Author: No, no, no, you've got it wrong.
Consort Xi's eyes flickered. There were many people in the palace vying for the Emperor's favor, even if they liked him. But the position of Empress was still very tempting.
Perhaps, she could...
"Xiao Hong, go to Changchun Palace."
Xiao Hong was originally a palace maid who served Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao assigned her to serve this concubine. She was somewhat surprised by what she said.
Changchun Palace.
He Yunshang, dressed in the Empress's palace robes, slowly lowered her head, writing the characters the Emperor had taught her. She thought of the jokes the Emperor had made to tease her.
She heard footsteps behind her and turned around.
"Consort Xi?"
"Your Majesty, Consort Xi has been feeling bored lately and has been staying in the palace for a long time. She's not used to it, so she wanted to come and see Your Majesty."
The two chatted and laughed, but Consort Xi did not forget the purpose of her visit, looking at the bright yellow robe that resembled the Emperor's.
She was deeply jealous!
Just because she can't touch Fu Lingtian doesn't mean she can't touch the women in the harem. Perhaps she can even use this opportunity to produce that person.
"Oh, by the way, I wonder if the Empress has heard of General Fu? He often visits the Emperor."
Consort Xi found it strange that a grown man like her would not go home but instead come to the Emperor's place.
The Empress was initially unharmed, but upon hearing the name Fu Lingtian, the cup in her hand trembled slightly.
He Yunshang blinked her thick eyelashes, lowered her head, and pursed her lips, revealing an unnatural smile.
"What does Consort Xi mean? I don't understand."
The Empress is clearly still pretending. The number of times Fu Lingtian and the Emperor have slept together is probably countless. The fact that she can remain so calm is truly remarkable.
She then pressed her advantage, sowing discord between them.
"Your Majesty, I am usually a person who speaks my mind, but I dare not speak carelessly here in the palace."
"I was afraid that others would overhear, but Your Majesty the Empress is the person I admire most, so I dare to tell you this."
General Fu, a grown man, frequently visiting another man's room—what kind of behavior is this?
"Anyone who didn't know better would think the Emperor was a homosexual. Someone who enjoys homosexual relationships."
He Yunshang couldn't listen anymore; Consort Xi's words were getting increasingly harsh, but it was true. She was also jealous.
The emperor, who had treated her so gently, who had shown her such affection that night, was now being called a homosexual by others. How could she allow that?
"We should just talk about matters of the inner palace. Perhaps the Emperor is temporarily misled. But General Fu, as a court official and Consort Xi's sister, should refrain from speaking carelessly in the future."
The two parted on bad terms, with Consort Xi storming off in anger, never expecting the Empress to be so difficult to persuade. However, judging from her expression, she seemed to have been swayed.
Perhaps, the answer will be revealed tonight.
After Consort Xi left, He Yunshang felt uneasy, though she didn't know why. Although she didn't want to admit it, she was also very curious about the true nature of the relationship between the Emperor and General Fu.
Was he marrying her because their relationship was illicit and they needed a woman to cover it up?
