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

Chapter 937

Seeing that she was exhausted, the two quickly took their leave.

Yun Xiyue didn't have Murong Yu's stamina; she could only read a few memorials before needing to rest and eat.

"Leng Yan, take a look at this report."

When they encountered something they didn't understand, they would pull Leng Yan and Yun Xingye, along with Eunuch Fu, in to discuss it.

"Does Your Highness wish to know whether the person recommended by Lord Zhou is suitable?" Leng Yan asked after reading the memorial.

Yun Xiyue nodded. "Mm."

"I believe we can use this person. Let's not worry about his character for now. We can always find another one if he doesn't work out later."

Because now is a crucial time to stabilize the court.

Since Zhou Yan recommended this person, it would be best to employ him. This would put Zhou Yan at ease, and once he was at ease, he could naturally keep the others in check.

Furthermore, it can be said that Grand Tutor Zhou sacrificed his life for the country.

At that time, some compensation was necessary.

The next Grand Tutor will inevitably be Zhou Yan.

Yun Xiyue thought the same thing, but she was worried that she was going in the wrong direction.

After all, governing the imperial court and managing one's own household are quite different.

In the imperial court, everyone is needed, whether they are treacherous officials or loyal ministers.

"Alright, then let's issue the appointment letter directly!"

After she approved it, she sent it to Zhou Yan so that he could arrange for someone to take up the post.

"Your Majesty, the Princess Consort of Liang requests an audience."

Princess Liang is the eldest princess of the Northern Palace Kingdom, Sikong Xuanling.

At this point, it seemed she must have some purpose in contacting him.

Yun Xiyue took a bite of bird's nest soup. "Please invite her in!"

Leng Yan and the others retreated and stood guard at the door.

Eunuch Fu and Granny Cao stayed in the Imperial Study to serve him.

Behind a screen, three children were playing on a bamboo couch.

"See the Queen."

Sikong Xuanling stepped in. She was now pregnant because the King of Liang had married her. The two had been in the bridal chamber for a while before the King of Liang was injured and soon after led his troops to attack the Eastern Ling Kingdom.

She was already over six months pregnant, and because of her pregnancy, she had an extra layer of protection.

"Princess Consort Liang, there's no need for such formalities. Please take a seat."

Sikong Xuanling looked at her. As the empress, and even the regent empress, she was still so young and beautiful after having three children, and now she was pregnant with her second child.

Who has such a lucky life as her!

Sikong Xuanling felt an indescribable mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Yun Xiyue has recovered very well. After eating, she felt much less tired and looked at her with a smile, "What brings Princess Liang to the palace to see me?"

Sikong Xuanling smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask of you."

"Your Majesty the Empress requests that the Emperor cease military action against the Northern Palace Kingdom."

She didn't sit down, but knelt down.

Yun Xiyue narrowed her eyes and looked at her coldly, "Princess Liang, do you know what you are doing?"

"I know that I am now married to the King of Liang, a person of the Great Xia, and the daughter-in-law of the Murong family. But the Northern Palace is my homeland, and I cannot bear to see the people of my homeland suffer."

"Your Majesty is a kind-hearted person. If you were in her shoes, you would do the same!"

Yun Xiyue said, "As a princess of the Northern Palace Kingdom, there is nothing wrong with you saying these things. However, as a married daughter, you cannot control the overall situation."

"Since things have come to this, you should go back!"

He gestured for someone to escort her back to her residence.

Sikong Xuanling struggled and pleaded, "Your Majesty, I beg you."

"what!"

While she was struggling, she suddenly fell down.
