[014] The imperial concubine sleeps affectionately
The queen looked around. It was already late at night. Normally, the emperor would have arrived at Zhaoyang Palace at this time. Why, it was already this hour and the emperor hadn't come yet. She couldn't help but feel anxious.【】
"Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor has turned over Concubine Xue's brand. Concubine Xue is at the Yangxin Hall at the moment." Yue Nu, the personal maid, hurried in to report the news she had just found out.
She was a little disappointed and her voice was almost ethereal, "So that's it."
Yue Nu gave her a worried look and said, "Empress, do you want to go to the Nourishing Heart Palace?"
Empress Li smiled and said, "Yuenu, the emperor will come to Zhaoyang Palace whenever he is free, unless I ask him to go to other concubines. Do you think he is really afraid of Prime Minister Xue?"
Yue Nu nodded, "I guess so. Prime Minister Xue sent his daughter to the palace. It is said that the emperor named her a noble concubine without even looking at her. This matter caused a big fuss in the harem and everyone was not convinced. But don't worry, your Majesty.
The one he loves most is still you, but his heart is all with you."
Queen Li stood up, as if she hadn't heard what she said. Yue Nu quickly went to help her, only to hear the Queen say, "Prime Minister Xue is very powerful, if he really wants his daughter to seize the palace."
Feng Yin, do you think the emperor will agree?"
Yue Nu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you overly worried? Your Majesty's father is a general who protects the country, commanding an army of 180,000 people. Are you afraid that he will not be the prime minister?"
"This is somewhat reasonable, but dad is a loyal person who protects the country. If the emperor is in trouble, dad may not be able to protect me."
At this time, another maid hurriedly entered the Chaoyang Palace, looking panicked and saying, "My dear, it's not good."
Empress Li glanced at her lovingly and said, "Yuechan, what are you so worried about?"
"Empress, according to the internal staff of Yangxin Palace, that Concubine Xue..." After saying this, Yuechan glanced at the queen worriedly.
Queen Li smiled and said, "Go on."
"That Concubine Xue actually called the Emperor's name affectionately when she was there."
Upon hearing this, Queen Li's face suddenly turned pale.
Yue Nu worriedly asked, "Mother, are you okay?"
Empress Li breathed rapidly, and after a while she said, "I'm fine."
Yuechan asked, "Empress, what should I do about this matter?"
Empress Li gritted her teeth, all her usual dignity and generosity were destroyed in an instant, "I have worked hard to serve the emperor for a year, but I don't dare to call the emperor's name. How dare Concubine Xue, who just came to her, dare to be so presumptuous!"
