Jin Kingdom, Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager held a hand warmer in her hand and looked at Old Princess An with a faint smile. Ever since she became the Empress Dowager, this was the first time the Old Princess had come to Cining Palace to greet her.
How could the Empress Dowager not know what these people were thinking?
In everyone's eyes, the Emperor's first wife had died many years ago and none of the concubines in the palace had been able to give birth to a prince. Although the Emperor had made Lu Yaoyao the Empress, who would have thought that she was a descendant of the Ye family? So what if she became the Empress in the future? She might not even be able to give birth to a prince. So, no matter who it was, as long as they could give birth to a prince, they might be able to reach the heavens in a single step.
"Empress Dowager, this concubine shouldn't have said this, but the uncles in the clan are all anxious and the Emperor is not easy to persuade. You are the Emperor's mother, so I think your persuasion will work," Old Princess An said worriedly.
"I've made the uncles worry. The Emperor has always been like this. No one can change his mind," the Empress Dowager said.
Old Princess An said, "The Emperor still doesn't understand the importance of having children, but do you think you don't?"
The Empress Dowager naturally hoped that the Emperor would not have a prince soon, but no matter how she persuaded him, he did not favor those concubines. What could she do?
"The Emperor is not a child. He knows his limits," the Empress Dowager said.
"You can't say that," Old Princess An said with a frown. Old Princess Consort An frowned and said, "Which Royal Prince doesn't have a child at His Majesty's age? Empress Dowager, do you really want to see Lu Yaoyao give birth to a prince after she enters the palace?"
The Empress Dowager asked with a smile, "Why not?"
Old Princess An shook her head and sighed. "You don't understand. Lu Yaoyao is a descendant of the Ye family and was raised by the Lu family. The Ye family was destroyed and the Lu family failed. If she really becomes the Empress in the future, won't she take revenge for the Ye and Lu families? If her child becomes the Crown Prince, will the Jin Kingdom be named Ye or Lu? "
The Empress Dowager frowned. "You're exaggerating."
"You don't know yet, but Ye Yisong's eldest son, Ye Chunming, didn't die. He was almost captured by His Majesty, but he was released because of Lu Yaoyao. Empress Dowager, think about it. What if Ye Yisong appears in the future? Since Ye Chunming could survive, why couldn't Ye Yisong? If the Emperor is merciful because of Lu Yaoyao in the future, what kind of disaster will befall the Jin Kingdom? "Old Princess An said emotionally.
"Ye Chunming?" The Empress Dowager looked at Old Princess An in shock. She had never heard of this! "How is he still alive? Where is he now?"
Old Princess An said, "I heard that he was taken away by Ye Yiqing."
The Empress Dowager gasped. She knew Ye Chunming. Back then, the Emperor was almost killed by Ye Chunming. How could he let this person go?
Could it be that for Lu Yaoyao, the emperor had changed his own principles?
Seeing the Empress Dowager's reaction, a smile flashed across Old Princess An's eyes. "Empress Dowager, the most important thing now is for His Majesty to give birth to a prince as soon as possible. If he doesn't like the concubines in the palace, is there no one outside that he likes?"
"You don't know His Majesty. It's impossible for him to enter the palace through the concubine selection. I've already tried to persuade him," the Empress Dowager said.
Old Princess An said with a smile, "His Majesty is also a man. Which man doesn't like beauties? Empress Dowager, it's not necessary to enter the palace through the concubine selection. Can't a woman who passes the concubine selection enter the palace?"
The Empress Dowager carefully considered Old Princess An's words. She knew that Old Princess An must have a motive for coming to the palace today. Although she hoped that His Majesty could have a prince as soon as possible, she didn't want those clans to have their way.
If she guessed correctly, Old Princess An must want to recommend a woman to her. Didn't they have the intention to push women to the Emperor's side? Since she had to guard against the Ye Family, shouldn't she guard against the clans?
She still remembered the lesson that Old Prince Kang and Prince Shun forced her to abdicate last year!
The Empress Dowager smiled, "Thank you for reminding me today. Tell the old princes in the clan that I know what to do."
Old Princess An raised her eyebrows. She had spoken for so long, and this was the Empress Dowager's reaction? Shouldn't she ask her who she had chosen?
"Empress Dowager, do you have anyone to choose?" Old Princess An asked.
In fact, in Old Princess An's heart, she didn't like the Empress Dowager at all. She was just a palace maid in the past. If she wasn't somewhat beautiful, how could she become the former emperor's concubine? This lowly woman had such good luck. Her son had actually become the Emperor!
Hmph, even if the royal family didn't look up to them and their son, they couldn't resist. Now they could only place their hopes on the future prince.
The prince had to be born by a woman they had chosen.
The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "It's almost the New Year. It's not a suitable time to choose a woman to enter the palace. Let's wait until after the New Year."
Old Princess An forced a smile, "You're right."
"It's rare for you to enter the palace. Stay and eat with me," the Empress Dowager said with a smile.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Old Princess An lowered her head with a smile.
On the other side, Mo Rongzhan, who was in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, also heard that Old Princess An had entered the palace to greet the Empress Dowager.
He immediately remembered that the royal family and the court had been forcing him to take in many concubines recently. It seemed like someone wanted to make a move on the Empress Dowager.
Mo Rongzhan frowned unhappily. He had been in an extremely bad mood recently, but these people still didn't stop. It was bad enough that he had a father-in-law who wanted him to fall in love with someone else, but there was also a group of people who kept causing trouble. What did these people think he was?
He stood up, intending to personally hear what Old Princess An planned to say to the Empress Dowager. He remembered that Old Princess An had often ridiculed his mother. Even after he ascended to the throne, she hadn't entered the palace to greet the Empress Dowager. But today, she had actually come!
Just as he arrived at the rear palace, he hadn't taken a few steps when a slender figure suddenly knelt in front of him. "Your Majesty, please help this concubine."
Hearing that it was Ye Yaoyao's voice, Mo Rongzhan's gaze became even colder. He didn't even look at Ye Yaoyao and raised his feet to leave.
"Your Majesty, this concubine has recovered her memory. Your Majesty, please help this concubine's innocent father who died." Ye Yaoyao kowtowed heavily. Her voice was calm and steady, completely different from her previous timid and timid self.
"What did you say?" Mo Rongzhan's expression suddenly darkened. He stopped and turned to look coldly at Ye Yaoyao.
Ye Yaoyao raised her beautiful face. There was only determination and determination on her face. "This concubine's original name is Ye Yao 'er. My biological father isn't the county magistrate Ye who was previously shocked … This concubine is from Jiangnan and has never been to the capital before."
