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

Chapter 401

She said her son was unfilial, which was so hurtful that it's no wonder Murong Yu felt heartbroken!

"Your subject has come to dine with Your Majesty." Murong Yu sat down, his face dark.

The Empress Dowager continued, "Are you here to keep me company? You are here to keep your future Empress company."

"Don't use my name as an excuse."

Zeng Rou didn't dare to speak at this moment.

She stood beside Yun Xiyue.

This meal was like chewing wax.

The banquet finally ended when the Empress Dowager said she was tired.

Only after leaving Funing Palace did Yunxi Yue relax her tense nerves.

"I will send you back."

Zeng Rou clenched her fists. "Your Majesty, I'll just escort her out of the palace. I'm leaving the palace too, it's on my way."

"I have something to discuss with A-Yue. General Zeng, you may leave!"

Zeng Rou's unwillingness was written all over her face.

He stood there for a long time, watching the two of them leave together.

"Feel sorry."

Murong Yu held her hand, "Because of Mother, you always suffer."

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "Isn't this normal? Even the best mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship will have conflicts."

"I think the Empress Dowager seems to be jealous."

Murong Yu asked in surprise, "Jealous?"

He simply doesn't understand.

"I'm just upset because I feel like my son has been taken away from me." Yun Xiyue didn't quite understand either.

But she felt that the Empress Dowager was deliberately targeting her not just because she disliked her background, but also because she disliked her being with Murong Yu.

The Empress Dowager is now targeting even the Emperor, speaking with barbs and veiled barbs. She is unhappy with whatever Murong Yu says or does.

"Why don't you try spending more time with her? Be more patient."

Murong Yu was very busy. He had been separated from his mother since he was three years old, and they could only see each other a few times a month. Every time they met, she would teach him how to be a good crown prince, to be self-disciplined and cautious, and to guard his heart and understand his nature.

You must not make any mistakes, and you must not anger your father.

Whenever he showed any sign of missing his mother and asked her to hold him, she would cruelly push him to a palace servant and then turn away.

Later, he went to the army and entered the imperial court, so he had even less time to visit her in the harem.

After becoming emperor, he entered the harem very few times. If it weren't for Yun Xiyue, he wouldn't even want to step into the harem.

"Ah."

Murong Yu felt awkward. He and his mother were too distant, and it was really difficult for him to spend time with her alone.

However, he had to try. He didn't want Yun Xiyue to suffer from the Empress Dowager's temper every day after marrying him, leaving him caught in the middle and overwhelmed. He needed to find a way to ease the situation.

"The Emperor and General Zeng were childhood sweethearts?"

Murong Yu was stunned, then laughed and said, "I thought you really cared about everything."

Yun Xiyue secretly pinched his palm; it was thick and hard, making her own fingers hurt. "I don't care how many women the Emperor has. But if she treats you specially, I think I should grant you your wish."

"To grant your wish?"

Murong Yu was immediately displeased. "You really want to grant us our wish?"

"So, in A-Yue's eyes, I and Shen Yue are cut from the same cloth?"

Yun Xiyue quickly said, "I didn't mean that. That kind of man can't be compared to the Emperor."

"Since Your Majesty is not pleased, then I will not ask any further questions."

Murong Yu pulled her close, holding her tightly in his arms. "I am unhappy because you know Zeng Rou likes me and wants to marry me, yet you remain unmoved."

"Ah Yue, why did you agree to marry me?"

Yun Xiyue said, "Wasn't it the Emperor who insisted that I marry you?"

"..."

Murong Yu's eyes instantly darkened, and he hoisted her up onto his shoulder.

"Your Majesty... please put me down first."
