Linghu Lan's easygoing nature relieved Yue Qingyin.
After Linghu Lan said "Disperse," she immediately showed the crumbs of pastries she had secretly kept to the maid who knew medicine and whom she had brought from the palace.
The palace maid checked repeatedly and found nothing wrong or that would hinder her pregnancy, so Yue Qingyin was finally relieved.
She didn't trust Yue Huangyin, even though Yue Huangyin had never done anything to hinder her when she was in the palace. She still instinctively disliked Yue Huangyin.
The reason for her dislike might be that Yue Huangyin is the legitimate daughter, while she is the illegitimate daughter. The inherent difference in their status makes her unwilling to learn more about Yue Huangyin.
It's also possible that Yue Huangyin was too dazzling, and she had to put in a lot of effort to ensure that her own brilliance wasn't completely overshadowed.
It's also possible that Prince Anxian's initial gaze fell upon Yue Huangyin, not her, causing her immense heartache and pain. She would need to expend much more effort to get Prince Anxian's attention to her.
These emotions were too complex for her to explain.
Perhaps she was tired, or perhaps her life was settled and she no longer needed to worry about anything, Yue Qingyin slept soundly on her first night in the palace.
That night.
The Empress Dowager is having trouble sleeping.
Yun Nian carefully served the Empress Dowager, gently advising, "Empress Dowager, perhaps the servants were mistaken and spoke carelessly. We will see for ourselves tomorrow morning and know for sure. Please take good care of yourself, as His Majesty is counting on you!"
The Empress Dowager slightly raised her eyelids and let out a long sigh. "You don't need to persuade me. I've seen countless battles. The Empress's skills are nothing to me. I was careless and caught off guard. I never expected her to be so generous. Humph! I underestimated her."
Yun Nian lowered her head. Not only was the Empress Dowager careless, but they were also careless. They thought that no matter how the Empress was chosen, she would not escape the Empress Dowager's control. Who knew that the Empress could come up with such a trick: all the newly entered concubines would have some resemblance to the Empress in appearance, such as eyes, nose, or mouth. When all the similar parts were put together, they would form a complete Empress.
When I first saw the list, I thought the Empress seemed to value age when choosing people. But now that I've met the people, I realize that the Empress values appearance even more.
"Your Majesty, what's done is done. It seems the Empress is determined to monopolize the Emperor's favor in the harem."
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, her brows furrowed with disgust.
"Hmph, that depends on whether she has the ability. After some time, I will personally select some people from the princes' residences to serve the Emperor."
“Yes, the Empress Dowager is very thoughtful. Most of the girls in the princes’ residences have been trained, and the Empress cannot touch them. This ensures their innocence,” Yun Nian said happily.
The Empress Dowager nodded, and her expression relaxed considerably.
"After this experience, you should understand that you must never take the Empress lightly, or you will regret it!"
"yes!"
Yun Nian helped the Empress Dowager to bed, then turned and left.
On the canopy bed, the Empress Dowager sighed deeply and murmured, "My banished child, my banished child! I really miss you."
As soon as she murmured his name, tears streamed down her face. She drifted off to sleep, tears still flowing, and in her dream, she held her beloved tightly, overcome with grief.
