Princess Consort Ma said anxiously.

Xiao Yechen, however, appeared calm on the surface, comforting Princess Consort Ma, "Mother Consort, please do not worry. The Empress Dowager and the Jiang Family have suffered a great loss this time, they will not let Countess Shengping off easily."

Princess Consort Ma looked regretful, "Why wasn’t it Yan Yiyi at Chonghua Hall that night?"

"Mother Consort!"

Xiao Yechen quickly silenced Princess Consort Ma, "Mother Consort, you must never speak such words again that Father would not like to hear."

Princess Consort Ma glanced sideways at Xiao Yechen, "Mother Consort is well aware, rest assured. How you and Father get along, Mother Consort understands it better than you."

As Princess Consort Ma and her son were discussing, the servants in the Prince Residence were also stirring undercurrents.

"The Prince usually wouldn’t even spare a single flower, but now he is using them to decorate the Eastern Courtyard. It shows just how much value he places on the Little Prince."

"Alas, the exclusive favor of Princess Consort and the Eldest Son is likely coming to an end."

"Indeed, the Little Prince is born from the original wife and is a legitimate son. Even though Princess Consort is now the legal wife, she is still a stepmother."

Unbeknownst to Princess Consort Ma and her son, the servants they had won over for more than a decade had unknowingly shifted their allegiance to the Eastern Courtyard due to the conversation about transplanting flowers from the Hundred Flowers Garden.

...

At Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager had intended to hold off for a while to raise Jiang Wanying’s value, as Daxia did not easily engage in warfare with Xiliao, and the Emperor also wished to form a friendly alliance with Xiliao. _{freёwebnovel.com}

Establishing good relations between the two countries, the simplest and most direct way was through marriage.

The Emperor was reluctant to marry off his daughter, and Wanying was just right to take her place.

In doing so, it would be the Emperor seeking the Jiang Family.

However, several days had passed since the birthday celebration, and there had been no reaction from the Emperor’s side, which made the Empress Dowager feel somewhat uneasy.

If the Emperor took the initiative, then the daughter of the Jiang Family would be marrying into Xiliao for the sake of Daxia. That would be a meritorious service to Daxia.

But if she were to speak first, the meaning would be completely different.

After waiting two more days, seeing the Xiliao Delegation was already discussing returning home, the Empress Dowager couldn’t sit still anymore.

Wanying’s affair with the Crown Prince of Xiliao had been witnessed by everyone. Only her marrying into Xiliao would be the most beneficial for the Jiang Family.

At Qianqing Palace.

The Emperor was discussing serious matters with Yang Chenghua and others when Eunuch An hurried in and quietly said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has come."

Hearing this, Yang Chenghua and the other officials glanced at the Emperor, then silently stood still, not saying a word, observing propriety.

The Emperor glanced at Eunuch An, continuing to casually discuss the previous matter.

The officials dared not to keep the Empress Dowager waiting too long, but the Emperor was insisting on discussing affairs with them, so they could only grit their teeth and respond.

It was only after the matters had been thoroughly discussed that the Emperor waved his hand, indicating for everyone to leave.

Yang Chenghua and the others sighed with relief, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and quickly exited the grand hall, glancing at the Empress Dowager who was sitting in the side palace, waiting and drinking tea.

Seeing this, the officials exchanged silent glances, then hastily left.

The Emperor deliberately keeping the Empress Dowager waiting was indeed unprecedented.

It was evident that the scandal between the Jiang Family’s girl and the Crown Prince of Xiliao in the harem had truly infuriated the Emperor.

"I’ve been busy with state affairs, and I am sorry to have kept the Empress Dowager waiting."

The Emperor, smiling, entered the side hall and gracefully took a seat opposite the Empress Dowager.
