Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 357

Pei Fang's anger flared up as she spoke, and she couldn't help but raise her hand, "I'll beat you to death, you bitch."

But Yun Xiyue grabbed her wrist and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor has summoned me to the palace, and I dare not disobey."

"Hmph! My cousin is busy with state affairs every day, why would he ask you to come to the palace? You must have come uninvited. Let me tell you, you are not allowed to go to the Imperial Study."

He then snatched the food box from her hand and smashed it on the ground.

"Drag her away and beat her to death!" Pei Fang's anger reached its peak. All these years, Murong Yu had never taken the initiative to find her. Even when she went to great lengths to find him, he would not see her.

Now, things have gotten complicated. He insists on favoring women who don't want to enter the palace.

How could she possibly bear this?

Yunxi Yue has Bei Ye by her side.

These palace maids and eunuchs had no way to get close to her.

"You...you...how dare you! Yun Xiyue, you actually allow your servants to beat my people?" Seeing her people lying on the ground groaning in pain, Pei Fang was furious. "Summon the guards!"

"No need!"

Yun Xiyue gave her a cold look. "Let's go."

She originally wanted to come to the palace.

If it weren't for Murong Yu, she would never want to set foot here in her life.

It looks magnificent, grand, and imposing.

But it was nothing more than a gilded cage.

Bei Ye escorted her out of the palace.

Pei Fang dared not really touch Yun Xiyue, after all, everyone knew that she was the emperor's favorite and could not be touched.

"Bitch!"

We can't let her stay in the capital any longer.

"Find my mother and bring her to the palace."

When Madam Pei entered the palace, she comforted her daughter, "Fangfang, don't be angry. Now you are a Noble Consort, and she is at most just a concubine."

"There's no need to get angry with her. Instead, take this opportunity to fulfill the Emperor's wishes and become his confidante. What you need to do now is help the Emperor persuade the Empress Dowager to accept Yun Xiyue."

Pei Fang cried, "Mother, we can't let Yun Xiyue enter the palace, so why are you asking me to persuade my aunt?"

"My cousin is now defying the world for his sake! If Yun Xiyue enters the palace, what status will I have left?"

“But Yunxi Yue’s status makes it impossible for her to become Empress. What does it matter if she enters the palace? The Emperor just wants a woman; it’s not a big deal. If you are magnanimous and accept her, the Emperor will treat you differently.” Looking at her daughter, who seemed to have never grown up, Madam Pei felt helpless.

“But my cousin said he would not make her a concubine, and he has been delaying the appointment of an empress, because he wants to leave the empress's position to her.”

Madam Pei was surprised, "The Emperor told you?"

“Yes, my cousin told me himself,” Pei Fang said angrily.

Madam Pei immediately became serious. No wonder the Empress Dowager was so wary of Yun Xiyue; the Emperor was serious!

No, she has to go back and discuss this with the Prime Minister and the others.

After returning home, Madam Pei went to the palace again to see the Empress Dowager.

I don't know what they said.

The Empress Dowager suddenly had a change of heart and summoned Yun Xiyue.

She really didn't want to come to Funing Palace.

"This humble woman pays her respects to the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Pei said calmly, "Get up!"

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Madam Pei, sitting to the side, smiled at her and said, "I heard that Miss Yun was poisoned while tasting the food for the Emperor. If you hadn't saved the Emperor from this disaster, he would have been the one who was poisoned."

"Your Majesty, Miss Yun has made a great contribution and should be rewarded accordingly."

Yun Xiyue hurriedly replied, "It is my duty to share the Emperor's burdens; no reward is needed."

"Take what you're given. I'm a person who is fair in rewarding and punishing."

"The Emperor is very fond of you and often praises you for your intelligence, competence, and loyalty."

"It now seems that I had a prejudice against you in the past."

The Empress Dowager gestured for someone to bring over the rewards.

"Your Majesty Yun has rendered meritorious service in saving the Emperor, and I am very pleased with you. Today, I will adopt you as my goddaughter and bestow upon you the title of County Princess."

Madam Pei laughed and said, "Miss Yun, why don't you hurry up and express your gratitude? The Empress Dowager only has one daughter, the Eldest Princess. From now on, you will become the Empress Dowager's adopted daughter, which is the rank of County Princess. After the Eldest Princess, you will be the most honored. No one will dare to bully you anymore."

"And you also have the Empress Dowager and the Emperor backing you up."
