These words sounded like those of a wise and righteous empress, and she didn't criticize Yide for not performing the proper etiquette.
For the first time, Emperor Mingde felt that the Empress was truly competent. There was still a war going on outside, and Yide arrived crying and sobbing. Although she was extremely beautiful with tears streaming down her face, it could not mask the worries in her heart.
The Empress was determined not to let Emperor Mingde speak. She then continued, "Your Majesty, I was overjoyed to hear that my sister has returned to the palace. I have already sent people to prepare Weiyang Palace. What do you think?"
Weiyang Palace is very close to Yangxin Hall, and Consort Shu currently resides there. However, it doesn't matter anymore. Emperor Mingde didn't even think about where Consort Shu lived. He nodded hurriedly, "Excellent, excellent. I trust the Empress to handle things."
"Your Majesty is too kind. I was merely thinking what Your Majesty was thinking." Her words were quite sarcastic as she interacted with Emperor Mingde, much like an old married couple. She was also very dignified and poised. She added, "My sister will like Weiyang Palace. The words Your Majesty personally inscribed are still hanging there: 'May you enjoy happiness forever and never forget each other.'"
Emperor Mingde was also deeply moved. He never forgot the promise of eternal happiness and the promise of never forgetting each other.
Yi De trembled with anger, her lips turning white, but she couldn't really storm off in a fit of rage. She had originally planned to stay at the Empress's Phoenix Palace, but the Empress's words, "May you enjoy happiness forever and never forget each other," forced her to move to Weiyang Palace.
"May we enjoy happiness forever, and never forget each other. Weiyang Palace is endless. The Weiyang Palace that I built for you back then was arranged according to your preferences." He couldn't remember what he thought when he let Consort Shu live in the Weiyang Palace.
However, if Yi De asks, he will definitely say that Consort Shu looks quite similar to you, and that she is just your substitute.
Most of the four concubines originally chosen by the Empress Dowager were killed in power struggles. Now, apart from the Empress, none of the concubines are the women that the Empress Dowager valued.
“I understand Ziyi’s feelings, but Ziyi, what status do you want me to have in the palace?” Finally getting to the point, she looked at the Empress provocatively as she spoke, every word she uttered telling the Empress that Emperor Mingde was hers, and his heart was hers as well.
If life were only as beautiful as the first encounter, there would be no so much misery in the world. If she had entered the palace a few years ago and provoked the Empress like this, the Empress might not have been able to bear it. But not now. She was poised and dignified, saying, "Your Majesty, will you choose the title yourself, or will you leave it to me? The titles chosen by the Imperial Household Department are probably too conventional and Your Majesty will be angry. How about this, Your Majesty, please think of a few for me, and I will also think of a few for myself, and then we can give them to my sister to choose from. What do you think? Now the men of Dayong are fighting bloody battles outside. If they learn that Your Majesty and my sister have reunited, their morale will be greatly boosted, and they will sweep away those rebels with unstoppable momentum."
The Empress used the word "help," implying that the husband should be in charge of external affairs and the wife should be in charge of internal affairs, and that they were a legitimate couple. She also mentioned that there was still war going on outside, so even if Emperor Mingde loved her to death, he would not depose her immediately!
If you don't love someone anymore, you won't be jealous, you won't be unreasonable, and you won't argue.
