    Chapter Index

    The next day, after noon, the emperor Shi Shiran made preparations for returning to the palace.Accompanying him back to the palace were two newly concubines, Qian Changzai and Li Changzai.

    And these two were the singers who presented the broad-sleeved dance and the pipa to the emperor last night. Xu Shi, the concubines in the palace were all noblewomen. After playing for a long time, they always felt boring, not as good as the women outside the palace. Every move, every smile was as seductive as a hook, which made him want to stop.The women outside the palace are more bold in bed. If they want to fuck the two women in the future, they can choose from them and taste the bliss.

    The Queen Mother was extremely unhappy when she found out, but she had no choice but to do anything to the Emperor, so she could only sigh.

    Soon after returning to the palace, Yan Zhaozhao received news that her mother, Mrs. Yipin Gaoming, missed her so much that she asked the Queen Mother to enter the palace to have a talk with her to relieve her lovesickness.

    When Yan Zhaozhao heard the news, he realized that the matter was not simple.Just because, since she has been in the palace for so long, her mother, who regards her father as the only one who respects her, has never visited her in the palace, even once.

    And when her biological mother, who had given birth to her and raised her, stood in the middle of the inner hall of Fengyi Palace and saluted her, but there was no trace of longing on her face, she knew that she had guessed right again.

    “How are you doing, my empress?” Mrs. Cheng Ying greeted Yan Zhaozhao with a friendly smile on her face, but she still felt strange.

    “Mom, please get up and sit down quickly.” She looked at Bi Luo who was standing beside her and said, “I’ll serve tea.”

    When Cheng Ying saw Bi Luo going out to prepare tea, she hurriedly asked: “Your Majesty, don’t blame me for arrogating, but as your mother, I must ask this question.”

    Yan Zhaozhao disagreed, “Excuse me, mother.”

    She lowered her voice and said, “My Majesty, tell me the truth, have you never performed the conjugal ceremony with the Emperor since you entered the palace?”

    Hearing this, Yan Zhaozhao couldn’t help but be stunned for a breath, and then she responded calmly.”Yes.”

    “You, you…” Cheng Ying was so angry that she was speechless for a moment. He wanted to scold her like he did at home, but because of her identity, his mouth was closed, and he felt depressed, angry, and heartbroken.”Your Majesty, you are confused!”

    Seeing her sitting at the top without saying a word, as if she had not heard her words, Cheng Ying became even more anxious. She clenched the handle of the chair with her palms and uttered a difficult sentence, “Is the empress still blaming mother?”Without waiting for Yan Zhaozhao to answer, she firmly believed from the bottom of her heart that this was the case, and said hurriedly: “It has been so long, the empress is already the noble queen of the Dasheng Dynasty, and the rice has become cooking, why is the empress so stubborn!”

    Seeing that her mother had managed to overcome all the pain she had suffered in such an understatement, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of bitterness in her heart, but more than anything, she felt resentment.She blames her mother, and even more so her mercenary father and so-called tribesmen.

    No matter how long it takes, it will still not die.

    Yan Zhaozhao’s non-denial failed to make Cheng Ying feel guilty. Instead, she felt that Yan Zhaozhao was ignorant. Although she used some means to force her to marry the emperor, she did not feel wronged at all. She even let her sit in the position of queen that others dreamed of every day. How could she be sorry for her daughter!

    Thinking of this, Cheng Ying became more confident, and then she took on her mother’s attitude.”If your concubine continues to act like this, your position as queen will not be secure!” She glanced outside the door to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then said lightly: “Your father has arranged for your concubine to enter the palace. Today, he specially asked me to enter the palace to inform the empress in advance. I hope you can support her more in the future.”

    Yan Zhaozhao’s eyes became calmer and she raised her eyes slightly.”Which sister is it?”

    Cheng Ying’s face turned ugly, “She is your Aunt Yuan’s daughter, Yan Zhiyi.”

    Yan Zhaozhao understood instantly.Just as she thought, her mother would never come to the palace because she missed her daughter. The purpose of entering the palace this time was not only to tell her that Yan Zhiyi would be entering the harem as a concubine, but also to let her think about how to win favor.Without him, the mother didn’t want her legitimate daughter to lose to her aunt’s concubine after she lost to her aunt.

    Aunt Yuan was the most beloved and valued aunt of her father in the family, and her daughter Yan Zhiyi was raised as if she were an eyeball.It was precisely because of Aunt Yuan that my mother quarreled with my father many times, and even when my father got bored, he still could not get his heart back from her.My father was an important minister in the court and would never spoil his concubine or destroy his wife. He gave his mother the face and respect she deserved. Even the power of the family was in her hands, but there was no love in her face.

    Now, seeing that she had not given birth to a dragon heir for a long time, and was not even favored by the emperor, he was so anxious that he had no choice but to know that he could not count on her, so he sent another daughter of the Yan family to compete for his favor, hoping to earn a bright future for the family.

    How ironic and ridiculous, men all say that they are the heroic men in this world who can stand up to heaven, while women only need to stay at home to support their husbands and raise children.But now, their so-called future is achieved by sacrificing one woman after another.

    Cheng Ying saw that she still didn’t panic even though she knew that Yan Zhiyi was going to enter the palace to compete with her for favor, and she was even more angry with her.”Why is your Majesty still so calm? Aren’t you afraid that the Queen’s position will be lost to someone else in the future?!”

    Yan Zhaozhao stood up, walked down the steps step by step and walked to her mother, looking at her face carefully with her eyes.It was obviously the same face as the kind mother she remembered from her childhood, but it was completely different from her childhood.”Back then, I told my mother that I did not want to marry the emperor, let alone be the queen of this prosperous dynasty. These words have not changed today.”

    “You!” Cheng Ying was so angry that her lips trembled slightly, “How could you be so ignorant! As a queen, you have a noble status, and all the noble ladies in the world will kneel at your feet. You eat the best delicacies, wear the best materials, and enjoy wealth that no one can imagine. What else are you dissatisfied with!”

    “There is no love.” Yan Zhaozhao’s red lips parted slightly, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.”Of all the things my mother just said, there was only no love.”

    “I live in this magnificent Fengyi Palace. Everywhere is extremely luxurious, but to me, this place is not a palace, but a cold cage. A place without love, only with countless calculations.” She looked directly into Cheng Ying’s calm eyes, “I and IMother is no different, isn’t it the same for you?Living in a huge house, taking care of every penny of the family, has your father ever come to see you?Even when your mother is ill, your father has never shown any pity to you.”Are you happy?”

    Cheng Ying choked, all the words were blocked in her throat, her mouth opened and closed, but no words came out.After a long moment of silence, she stiffened her neck, like a proud swan refusing to lower her head even a moment.”What do you need to love for? Is there any woman in this world who has spent her whole life relying on love alone?! How can such ethereal things be as real as holding the right in your hands!” She said earnestly, “My queen is still young, and she has read too many stories before she comes up with those unwarranted thoughts, but you can’t be so confused!”

    She pinched Yan Zhaozhao’s boneless hand and patted it, “Mom will never harm you. The important thing is to hold the real power in her hands. It doesn’t matter whether you love her or not. Only when a woman has an heir can she have hope! You listen to your mother, and winning over the emperor’s heart and giving birth to a dragon heir is the most important thing!”

    Yan Zhaozhao frowned lightly, pulled her hand away, took a step back, and looked coldly at her already stubborn mother, who no longer saw the slightest hint of gentleness in her past.”My mother informed Yan Zhiyi that she will enter the palace today, and I already know about it. If there is nothing else, mother will go back.”

    She pondered for a while and then said: “As for my father, my mother told him that once you enter the palace, you are a concubine. Now that I sit in the position of the Lord of the Sixth Palace, I cannot lead a party for personal gain. I will not support anyone. What happens to Yan Zhiyi in the future is her destiny.”

    She said this just to put an end to her father’s thoughts.He wants to send the Yan family’s daughter in, and she has no control over it, and has no right to control it, but if she wants her to support him and help the family earn glory, it’s just nonsense.

    “How can you be so unfilial!” Cheng Ying took a step forward, not caring about her status or inferiority at all. What she cared about was not that Yan Zhaozhao did not support Yan Zhiyi, but she was happy to hear about it. However, she said it openly, which meant that she was disobedient and was drawing a clear line with her clan members.She and her husband worked hard to make her the queen so that one day she could bring supreme glory to their family. What she meant now was that she had no intention of taking care of the family’s career and prosperity.

    Seeing that Cheng Ying was about to say something else, Yan Zhaozhao interrupted directly, “That’s it for me. Mother, please come back.”

    The order to expel guests has been issued, no matter how angry Cheng Ying is, she cannot disobey the queen’s will.Holding her breath, she turned towards Yan Zhaozhaofu and left, still thinking silently in her mind. When she got home, she told the master that she was willing to support that bitch’s daughter, and even more so, their family.In this way, the master can still think highly of her, otherwise she will really be taken over by that bitch Aunt Yuan!

    Just after sending Cheng Ying away, Yan Zhaozhao already had a headache. She was about to call Bi Luo to come in and help her to rest in the inner hall, but for some reason, people came to Fengyi Palace, which was usually deserted, today.

    It’s just that the person who came back this time is not only a rare guest, but also an extremely difficult person to deal with.

    Suddenly outside the door, I heard a eunuch eunuch screaming, “The emperor has arrived——”
