In the side hall of the Empress Dowager's palace, there was a hint of elegance amidst the luxury. The air was filled with the thick scent of sandalwood, but if one sniffed carefully, one could detect the scent of incense.
Lin Yueying sat below the Empress Dowager and sniffed the air in the palace. She knew that her aunt was a Buddhist, but she did not seem to want others to know, so even the table for worshipping Bodhisattva was carefully placed in the back of the bedroom.
"Yue Ying, how have you and the Emperor been recently?”The empress dowager had maintained herself well. Although she was already in her forties, her face looked like she was in her early thirties. The only flaw was that some white hair had appeared at his temples.
Lin Yueying felt as if her heart had been stabbed by something, and a pain instantly spread throughout her body. "Aunt, it's the same as usual.”
"What do you mean by the same as before?" The Empress Dowager frowned slightly." Yue Ying, Consort Lian is getting more and more favored. Although the Emperor has not neglected you too much, you still have to be careful.”
Recalling the news that Consort Lian was favored, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but reach out and press her forehead. "Yue Ying, remember this. Favor cannot be obtained by waiting. If the Emperor is really bewitched by Consort Lian, it will be too late for you to regret it.”
Lin Yueying lowered her head and hid the bitter smile at the corner of her mouth. She nodded and said," Aunt, I understand. Thank you for your concern."”
Seeing Lin Yueying like this, the Empress Dowager sighed again." Forget it, child. Why are you becoming more and more distant after entering the palace?"”
Lin Yueying smiled." There are many rules in the palace. Yueying is afraid of saying something wrong, so she has to be careful.”
The Empress Dowager nodded and did not care too much. She continued," Now, it's best if you can get pregnant with the Emperor's child. Only then will your position be stable."”
A child? Lin Yueying thought of the child-avoiding soup that did not fall, and her breathing became a little difficult. She endured the pain in her heart and said,"This kind of thing can't be rushed."”
"You, after entering the palace, why did your temperament become more and more cold!”The Empress Dowager sighed.
Lin Yueying only smiled and did not speak. The two of them chatted for a while before leaving the Empress Dowager's palace.
After Lin Yueying left, the Empress Dowager sat in the palace. She frowned and said to Granny Li beside her," Do you think that there's something wrong with the Empress?”
" This..." Granny Li thought for a moment." The Empress is indeed a little strange."”
Before, the empress and the Empress Dowager had a very good relationship and their words were very close. But now, it seemed like they had distanced themselves a bit.
"Forget it, pass down this widow's decree and have Consort Lian come to this widow's palace.”The Empress Dowager stood up in frustration and sighed again." I'm afraid Consort Lian has been too favored recently. Yue Ying can't help but feel uncomfortable.”
After all, Yue Ying liked the Emperor so much. Now that the Emperor doted on Consort Lian, it was normal for her to be unhappy.
Granny Li took two steps forward and followed the Empress Dowager. "Empress Dowager, are you trying to teach Consort Lian a lesson?”
The Empress Dowager slowly walked forward." Go. There are some things that the Empress doesn't do, but this widow can't ignore. Consort Lian needed to be taught a lesson.”
"Yes, this servant understands." Granny Li lowered her head and replied. However, she was a little puzzled. She recalled the bowl she saw earlier. The residue left in it looked like medicine. Was the Empress taking medicine recently? But why didn't the people below report it?
Or was she wrong?
Forget it, it was better not to tell the Empress Dowager about this matter. After all, it was just her guess.
