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

Chapter 659

"Your Majesty..."

Before she could speak, Murong Yu interrupted her, "If Mother Empress summoned me here just to slander A-Yue, then you need not say anything. I have many other matters to attend to and will not disturb your rest!"

The Empress Dowager glared at her. "Are you trying to spite me?"

"No."

"Mother, if you can't distinguish between what's important and what's not, then don't cause me any trouble."

Before Prince Rui had left, Prince Liang returned.

Next, the other princes will surely return one after another with their requests for permission.

The Empress Dowager's face darkened slightly. "If His Majesty wants to deal with Prince Liang, he should favor other concubines as soon as possible and win over the hearts of the ministers in the court. Otherwise, if they feel that their daughters are not favored in the palace and have been wronged, they will definitely turn against him."

"You're overthinking it!"

Murong Yu's head ached as soon as he heard her speak. "You should rest and recuperate. I hope Mother Empress will consider the child in the Empress's womb. Even if you don't like A-Yue, you should still consider the child!"

"She's pregnant now and needs to take good care of herself!"

The Empress Dowager was furious, "I didn't do anything to her!"

"It's because Mother didn't beat or scold A-Yue! So you think it's okay to say a few sarcastic words."

Murong Yu sneered, "Sometimes I doubt whether I am your biological son or not. Prince Rui is. You treat the child in Princess Rui's womb better than you treat me!"

After saying that, he walked away.

The Empress Dowager was stunned.

It took her a while to recover her senses. "Your Majesty... do you feel that I'm showing favoritism..."

Granny Su helped her up, "Your Highness, you've been very good to Princess Rui."

For the sake of Princess Rui's unborn child, he almost beat Madam Pei to death.

The Empress Dowager's face turned pale at the thought, and she felt terrible. She feared that Pei Shang and the Emperor must hate her now.

"How is Gong Shu?"

"She was resting at the Pei family home during her pregnancy. Since the eldest son of the Pei family was not in the capital, she seemed afraid to go out and was very careful every day."

The Empress Dowager sat on the phoenix chair for a long time, looking lonely, and thought about it all night.

The next day, he sent many gifts to Gong Shu.

Yunxiyue also has it.

"Mother, what's wrong with the Empress Dowager?" Yun Xiyue asked, feeling puzzled.

Madam Yun glanced at the items and laughed, "Who would have thought that this old lady, despite her advanced age, is so ambitious and always thinking about controlling the Emperor and interfering in politics?"

She wouldn't be satisfied unless her son listened to everything she said.

"Let's ignore her."

The items were collected and sent to the warehouse.

I won't touch bird's nest or any of those kinds of foods.

Who knows if the old lady might poison her own grandson!

Yun Xiyue nodded. "Mm."

"Mother, did my eldest brother say when he'll be back? Can Father manage all this by himself?"

Madam Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Gong Dian is here. You don't need to worry about the shops. Now you just need to give me a big, fat grandson."

"Don't worry about anything else."

Yun Xiyue touched her belly, which was slightly protruding. "What if it's a princess?"

“A princess would be even better! The Murong family doesn’t want her, give her to our Yun family. Our family only loves raising little darlings.”

Murong Yu probably wouldn't agree; he also quite likes the little princess.

"Your Majesty, Young Madam Zhou requests an audience."

After recovering from Wan Jiaojiao's miscarriage for more than a month, he went to the palace to visit her upon learning that she was pregnant.
