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

Chapter 392

Murong Yu immediately had someone bring her some of the Empress Dowager's calligraphy and paintings from her youth.

"My mother is the eldest daughter of the Pei family. It is said that she was groomed from a young age to marry my father and become the Crown Princess. The fact that she dares to make such a request of you means that she is naturally very capable."

Yun Xiyue looked pale and said, "But after I finished writing a hundred big characters, I couldn't even hold my chopsticks properly. So I won't eat with you."

"I will feed you."

Yunxi Yue: "......"

There's no room for negotiation?

"cousin!"

I heard they were enjoying the company of beautiful women in the Imperial Garden.

Pei Fang ran over to see what was happening and saw her cousin teaching Yun Xiyue to write. Upon seeing this, she was instantly consumed by jealousy.

He looked at her with murderous intent as he came over.

"I see that you have absolutely no manners."

"Can't you see I'm busy?"

Pei Fang stomped her foot angrily, "Are you busy? You're just making me angry with her."

“I don’t care, if you teach her to write, then you have to teach me too.”

Granny Chen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's time for the eldest young lady to go back."

Otherwise, the Empress Dowager will send someone to say that Yun Xiyue is pestering the Emperor, causing him to neglect his duties.

This is not good news for Yun Xiyue.

Murong Yu had already figured it out, so he was very unhappy. He just wanted to spend more time with A-Yue. What's wrong with that?

So he really wanted to drive all these women out of the palace.

"Yes, Leng Yan, escort A Yue out of the palace."

The man gave Pei Fang a cold glance before turning and leaving.

"cousin."

Pei Fang was startled, realizing she was doomed; she had made her cousin dislike her even more. She tried to chase after him but was stopped by Eunuch Fu, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is returning to the Imperial Study to review memorials."

"Why should I?" she cried, unable to contain her anger.

Eunuch Fu stopped him for a while, and seeing that the Emperor had gone far away, he hurriedly chased after him.

Pei Fang returned to Fanghua Palace crying and making a scene.

"Your Majesty, please don't cry. Yun Xiyue hasn't entered the palace yet; you should hurry and think of a solution."

We need to find a few more helpers to enter the palace.

"Before the Empress entered the palace, she established Consort De, Consort Xian, and Consort Shu. With more people in the harem, the Emperor would naturally not only favor Yun Xiyue."

Pei Fang wiped away her tears. "You're right, but we have to talk to my aunt about this."

The Empress Dowager thought it sounded good.

She didn't want the emperor to only favor Yun Xiyue in the future.

If Yun Xiyue feels uncomfortable because of being made a concubine, and breaks off her relationship with the emperor and refuses to marry, that would be even better.

The Empress Dowager immediately began selecting people.

The selected individuals were then assigned to court officials to serve in the court.

One was the daughter of a general, said to be to appease the soldiers at the border; another was the daughter of the Liu family; and the third was the daughter of the Qi family.

With members of the three major families present, there will be competition within the palace, preventing Yun Xiyue from becoming the only one in power.

As fellow business owners, she's not the only one with money.

After receiving the memorial, Murong Yu said, "It is not appropriate to appoint four consorts before the Empress has entered the palace. We should consider the candidates after the Empress enters the palace."

His reasons were also perfectly valid.

The Empress was in charge of the inner palace. If she did not enter the palace, the concubines who had not entered were not allowed to enter; otherwise, it would be against the rules.

The Empress Dowager was furious upon hearing this, exclaiming, "It's impossible for me to agree to their marriage ahead of schedule!"

The Empress Dowager knew the Emperor's thoughts.

So in the end, neither of them benefited.

The matter of bestowing titles upon the imperial concubines was dropped.

......

"They're engaged now." Shen Yue felt dejected, thinking he had no hope.

"What's the rush? If we don't want them to get married now, the best way is to start a war. Your Majesty needs to lead the army in person," Murong Chen said.

"The news of Lin Bao'er's death has reached the Southern Qiang Kingdom, hasn't it? And isn't the Third Prince of the Southern Qiang Kingdom also in love with Yun Xiyue? We can tell him about their engagement."

At that time, war could break out at any moment.

Shen Yue felt it wasn't enough. "The Southern Qiang Kingdom has been fighting us for five years, which has already exhausted our resources and manpower. Lin Huangjin wants to marry Yue'er, but he only cares about the Yun family's wealth. Marrying her can solve the problem of the empty treasury."

"They are currently severely weakened and have not yet recovered, so it is impossible for them to easily start a war."
