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

Chapter 650

What is the Zeng family planning? Do they intend to rebel?

Yun Xiyue subconsciously touched her lower abdomen. In the end, the Zeng family still wanted to win the emperor's favor. All the women who entered the harem wanted to give birth to a prince.

They will have someone to rely on in the future, and they can also compete for the throne.

"Ah Yue, what are you thinking about?"

Murong Yu rushed back to be with her as soon as court was over.

The man's cool, fragrant aura wafted towards me.

Yunxi Yue instinctively reached out to hug him.

"Miss you."

Murong Yu was instantly overjoyed and quickly pulled her into his arms, lowering his head to kiss her eyebrows and eyes. "Yes, I missed you too."

He whispered his longing in her ear.

It was only half a day apart, but it felt like two or three days.

A day apart feels like three autumns; that's exactly it.

Murong Yu felt very happy and reached out to touch her lower abdomen. "Is there anything that's bothering you?"

"It's only just begun, I don't feel anything yet." Yun Xiyue gave her a reproachful look. "Mother said that morning sickness usually starts after two or three months."

"With Master here, there's no need to worry too much."

Murong Yu was a little nervous. It was his first time becoming a father, and to be honest, he felt uneasy, excited, and happy—a mix of indescribable emotions.

This child was hard-won, and he must protect her and her mother well.

"You should focus on your pregnancy now. You might as well share some of the affairs of the harem with others."

Murong Yu had also considered it. He couldn't give other women his affection, but he could give them the power they wanted. "I want to promote the Jiang family."

Yun Xiyue understood what he meant: the Jiang family had tacitly agreed; they only cared about power, and it didn't matter if their daughter wasn't favored. "Just the Jiang family?"

"Who do you think could be promoted?" Murong Yu had consulted Lord Jiang.

The Jiang family will inform Jiang Sijin at that time.

Now, the people in the imperial court and the imperial harem must also correspond.

"You are all alone in the harem, isolated and helpless. I am worried about your safety. If you can win over a few people to help deal with Consort Gui and Consort Shu, I don't mind giving them power."

"Currently, the Pei and Zeng families are very powerful, so it is not advisable to touch them."

Yun Xiyue understood, but she didn't know much about Jiang Sijin. "I think Consort Han and Consort Qi are also good, but they are merchants."

"They probably can't be of much help in the imperial court."

Without anyone in the imperial court, they lacked confidence when facing Zeng Rou in the harem, since Pei Fang was backed by the Prime Minister and Zeng Rou by the General's Mansion.

Both of them have powerful backers, so they don't need to compete for favor. As long as they behave themselves, Murong Yu will give them enough respect in order to stabilize the court.

"The Empress Dowager will definitely put someone else in the position of Consort De."

Murong Yu nodded. Now was not the time to complain; they needed to take control of the situation as soon as possible. "Then let's choose one of our own to enter the palace."

Yun Xiyue strongly agreed. She hadn't been prepared or considered things beforehand, so the Empress Dowager had made all the arrangements, which put her in a very passive position after entering the palace.

"Is there a candidate for Emperor?"

Murong Yu said, "The Xiao family, the Zhou family, the Qin family, and the Wan family are all acceptable."

But he must not fall in love with the woman he is with.

If he were to enter the palace, he would still be thinking of asking her to have a child.

Murong Yu refused.

With so many things to do all day, he felt that he didn't even have enough time to pamper A-Yue, let alone sleep with other women. Just thinking about it made him feel disgusted.

"Then let them all be summoned to the palace for a visit!"

If it's suitable, we'll bring them in.

Murong Yu was worried that she couldn't handle it, "Then you should take care of your health."

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "Don't worry! My mother is here, she's helping me with the selection now."

"The affairs of the inner palace have been temporarily handed over to Consort Han and Consort Qi, and they are managing them quite well."

Thinking about her older brother, she told him a few things.

Murong Yu looked surprised, clearly unaware, "Yun Xiaohan is a member of the Xiao family? This... is impossible!"

If it really is.

If he and Xiao Ling'er consummated their marriage, wouldn't that be considered incest between siblings?
