1447 Chapter 1376-women fighting for favor
As Yun Qianyu walked, she said,”don’t worry. After my cousin and I finish eating, we will immediately go to the border between the northern barbarians and the Dongli Empire. We will make those people from the northern barbarian Empire pay. Also, we will not let anyone from the soul Mountain sect off.”
Yun Qianyu’s words made the retired emperor and Xiao Yechen calm down.
The group of people walked all the way to the Empress’s Palace. The Empress had long been waiting in front of the main hall. When she heard someone’s report, she brought people over to welcome them.
After the two of them greeted each other, they walked towards the side hall of the Empress ‘Palace.
They had just entered the side hall when a eunuch came in to report,””Your Majesty, concubine Yan, concubine su, Zhao Zhaoyi, and Noble Xia are here. They said they wanted to see the eldest Princess.”
Yun Qianyu raised her eyebrows and thought,’are we that close?’ He really wanted to see the Emperor.
Xiao Yechen couldn’t make a decision directly, so he looked at Yun Qianyu and said,””Yu ‘er, do you want to meet him?”
Yun Qianyu chuckled.’Since he asked to see me, can I say no?’ Could it be that a Princess like her was even older than a consort?
“Let them in for dinner. Speaking of which, Qingfeng, su Feiyan, and I used to be quite close.”
Although it wasn’t particularly good, it wasn’t bad.
In the past, she had pitied Yan Qingfeng because she had fallen in love with Xiao Jiuyuan.
Xiao Yechen waved his hand and called in concubine Yan, concubine su, Zhao Zhaoyi, and Noble Xia.
A few women quickly entered the hall.
The main hall was suddenly decorated with flowers and brocade. The few women had cleaned it carefully, and each of them was dressed in beautiful makeup.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yechen didn’t like them very much and rarely went to the harem.
After such a long time, none of the concubines in the palace had been pregnant.
So when they heard that the eldest Princess had entered the palace, they immediately came to pay their respects. They wanted to see the Emperor more. If the Emperor ran to their Palace more often, they might be able to get pregnant.
Even if they were pregnant, they could still be the eldest son, even if they couldn’t be the legitimate son.
Therefore, these women tried their best to get close to the Emperor. Unfortunately, the Emperor rarely entered the harem and had no chance at all. Today, they finally got this opportunity.
“Chenqie greets the Emperor.”
Everyone bowed to Xiao Yechen respectfully. No one thought about the eldest Princess.
Yun Qianyu looked at these women with a speechless expression.
Yan Qingfeng was one of them. Once upon a time, she was a proud woman, but once she entered the harem, she became a part of the struggle for favor.
“Get up. Today, we have set up a banquet to entertain the eldest Princess. You should also sit down and eat.”
There weren’t many people anyway, and the seats were enough.
Upon hearing the emperor’s words, all of them thanked him and scrambled to sit down.
The Empress’s expression instantly turned ugly, and she coldly glared at the few women who had stolen her limelight.
However, the Emperor had already given the order. What could the Empress say? she could only sit down in anger.
The Emperor sat on the seat of honor, with the retired emperor on one side and the eldest Princess on the other. The Empress sat down in order, and there was one seat left.
Xiao Yechen looked up and saw Ye Jia standing there, so he immediately said,””Ye Jia, you should sit down too.”
Xiao Yechen’s words immediately attracted a group of people’s attention and they all looked at Ye Jia.
The women’s expressions were all unkind. The Emperor had never been so polite to anyone before, but this woman had caught his eye. Wasn’t she the eldest princess’s maidservant?
Ye Jia sat down, neither servile nor overbearing, not bothering to say anything.
