==============================================================================================

 

A dignified empress was sent away quietly.

 

Of course, as a beneficiary, Wei Qingxue naturally abstained from heaping stones on the man who’d fallen into the well at this time. Not only did she not add salt to the injury, but while the emperor was resting, she found Fu Longan—who was in charge of escorting the empress back to the capital—and told him to take good care of the empress.

 

If he hadn’t known in advance that Imperial Noble Consort Ling had sent the twelfth prince to the Empress Dowager immediately after the incident, Fu Longan would have never thought that Imperial Noble Consort Ling was telling the truth.

 

In this regard, Fu Longan could only say that the Imperial Noble Consort Ling was as good as her title. She was a beautiful person!

 

On the empress dowager’s phoenix boat, the empress dowager leaned on the couch with a tired face. A momo came in from outside the cabin, whispered a few words in the empress dowager’s ear, and the empress dowager nodded.

 

“Where’s the twelfth prince?”

 

“The twelfth prince has already gone to bed, and the fifteenth prince is with him!” The momo knelt on her feet and massaged the empress dowager.

 

Thinking of the smart and sensible fifteenth prince, and then of the twelfth prince, who was soft-hearted and could only cry when he was in trouble, the empress dowager sighed helplessly.

 

Afterwards, the empress dowager thought of Noble Consort Ling—no, she was now an imperial noble consort. Could it be that she’d really made a mistake?

 

Immediately after the incident, the imperial noble consort ordered someone to send the twelfth prince to her so that no one could fish in troubled waters and hurt the twelfth prince. She didn’t even think about this. After that, she asked the fifteenth prince to come over, and, with a few words, the sobbing twelfth prince was coaxed.

 

Was she really that kind and selfless?

 

The empress dowager did not believe it. She was very confident in how she saw people. When she first saw Madam Wei, she’d known that she was not as harmless as she seemed. The facts? Proved that she was right. In just a few years, she’d become an imperial noble consort from a noble person, and it wasn’t impossible for her to go further in the future.

 

But what had happened today made the empress dowager a little confused. Thinking of what had happened today, the empress dowager was a little annoyed. What had happened to the empress? Although, the empress had been a little muddleheaded in recent years. Today, the empress’s strangeness had made the empress dowager feel terrible. The words she’d said made even the empress dowager angry, not to mention the emperor!

 

Since the emperor had not decreed her demotion on the spot, he was already being kind. But this result was also the result of Madam Wei’s kneeling down and begging for mercy.

 

The empress dowager’s mind was a mess.

 

“Empress dowager, it’s late at night, and the fifteenth prince has sent a bowl of soothing soup. After you drink it, hurry up and rest!” the palace maid whispered.

 

The empress dowager sighed, drank the soothing soup, and slowly fell asleep.

 

No one slept well that night.

 

Wei Qingxue stayed up all night. She opened her eyes and looked at the delicate dragon embroidery on the tent’s ceiling. Victory was in sight, but, at this time, that meant she could not relax her vigilance even more.

 

“What are you thinking?” the emperor suddenly asked.

 

“I was thinking that the empress left in a hurry, and I didn’t bring many things…” Wei Qingxue said immediately. Then she pretended to come back to her senses. “Your Majesty, forgive my sins.”

 

The emperor was very angry, but this anger was toward the empress, not Wei Qingxue. In fact, he’d just wanted to see Wei Qingxue’s real reaction in an unsuspecting situation. Fortunately, Wei Qingxue had not disappointed him.

 

“Don’t worry about her! Go to sleep.” The emperor lightly patted Wei Qingxue’s hand.

 

Although the emperor said that he didn’t need to worry about the empress, the next day, Wei Qingxue ordered someone to send out the maids and the things the empress used.

 

The emperor knew about this, but he ignored it. He simply issued a decree to raise the flag for the imperial concubine’s maternal family. Since then, the imperial concubine had changed from the Wei family to the Wei Jia family.

[I am not sure what this means. The raw is 皇贵妃就从魏氏，变成了魏佳氏]

 

Because of the empress’s affairs, the southern tour ended hastily.

 

After returning, Wei Qingxue was very busy, and many things were waiting for her. But word suddenly came from the Yikun Palace, saying that the empress wanted to see her.

 

Wei Qingxue did not hesitate. She went to Yikun Palace with integrity.

 

Yikun Palace had long ceased to hold its former glory, and there was no doubt that it was the same as a cold palace. Standing at the gate of Yikun Palace, Wei Qingxue remembered the scenes of the consorts and concubines who’d come and gone every day to greet her, and she now inexplicably recalled Huanyin Palace. There was no cold palace in this imperial city, but without the emperor’s favor, it would be the same as one.

 

Wei Qingxue didn’t like the days of being controlled like this!

 

Even though she was having earth-shaking thoughts, Wei Qingxue always wore a warm smile on her face, just like the spring breeze in Jiangnan in March.

 

“This concubine greets the empress, and may the empress be blessed and safe.” Wei Qingxue respectfully greeted her.

 

“You’re still the one I hated from before—nothing has changed!” The empress’s cold voice sounded out.

 

The empress didn’t shout, and Wei Qingxue stood up slowly. “I am not sure as to what the empress summoned this concubine for?”

 

“Why don’t you keep pretending? Didn’t you just pay your respects to me, an empress?” The empress stared at Wei Qingxue.

 

“If there is nothing, then this concubine will retire first.” Wei Qingxue paid her respects and turned to leave.

 

“Don’t leave!” A teacup smashed at Wei Qingxue’s feet, and the empress rushed up and took a grip of Wei Qingxue’s arm. “Tell me, how did you do it? How did you do it?”

 

“This concubine does not understand what the empress is talking about. Empress, please let go,” Wei Qingxue said with a frown.

 

“How did you do it? How did you do it?” The empress harped on with the same string, but the strength of her hand was getting stronger and stronger.

 

When the palace servants outside heard the movement, they hurried in and pulled the empress away.

 

“Be careful, don’t hurt the empress,” Wei Qingxue said while being supported.

 

The emperor quickly learned what had happened in Yikun Palace, and he hurried to Yongshou Palace to order the people who were serving to go down. Then he pulled up Wei Qingxue’s sleeves. His expression sank. He let out a cold hum and turned around to sit.

 

“Don’t be angry, Your Majesty. It only looks serious, but it’s nothing.” Wei Qingxue quickly pulled down her sleeves and brought a cup of tea to the emperor.

 

The emperor took it and took a sip. The temperature was just right.

 

“You are not allowed to go to Yikun Palace in the future,” the emperor said.

 

“Yes, the concubine remembers. I will not go there in the future,” Wei Qingxue said softly without explanation.

 

The emperor glanced at her and sighed helplessly.

 

Afterwards, he ordered people to take back the treasures that the empress had previously held for Concubine Xian, the noble consort, and the imperial noble consort, and he even took back the empress’s book of treasure. Although there was no official decree to demote the empress, this was also equivalent to a post-demotion situation. And no one was allowed to enter or leave Yikun Palace.

 

After the empress dowager learned about it, she sighed for a long time. This was a wonderful trick. Originally, the emperor had only grounded the empress, but he had not sealed the palace. The Wei Jia family merely walked over to Yikun Palace and directly sealed the palace. This also meant that the empress had no chance of turning the situation around.

 

In fact, the empress dowager also wanted to know the answer to the empress’s question. How had Wei Jiashi done it?

 

The empress dowager felt a little helpless. The twelfth prince had lived in her palace for so many days, and she could see that this child had a soft and gloomy personality and was not cut out for it. Now, it seemed that the empress had no hope.

 

The empress dowager was a smart person. After knowing this, she didn’t want to worry about the empress.

 

Instead, she went to find the emperor and proposed to keep the fifteenth prince in Shoukang Palace.

 

The emperor did not agree, but he also listened to the empress dowager’s words. Among the remaining sons, at present, only the fifteenth prince was worthy of the position. Since the fifteenth was the best candidate for whom to reserve the throne, then according to the rules, he could no longer be raised by the imperial noble consort.

 

The emperor had been raised by Concubine Geng.

 

But the emperor also did not want the empress dowager to raise the fifteenth prince. So Concubine Qing was chosen as the fifteenth prince’s adoptive mother.

 

Of course, the fifteenth prince had already moved to his elder brother’s place, and Li Huairou also followed. Now that there was a nominal adoptive mother, it was nothing more than one more place to greet.

 

Whether it was Wei Qingxue or the fifteenth prince, she had no opinion on this matter. Instead, both knew what it meant.

 

As for Concubine Qing’s opinion, no one cared.

 

Suddenly one day, news came from Yikun Palace that the empress had passed away. The emperor’s response to this was indifferent, and he ordered the burial as for an imperial noble consort, and not to hold the national filial mourning period for three years.

 

Everyone else thought that the emperor was still angry. But only a few people know the truth—it was because the empress had committed suicide.

 

It was a grave sin for concubines to commit suicide. If it weren’t for the twelfth prince, and the empress dowager’s strong opposition, there might not have even been a funeral procession as an imperial noble consort for her.

 

Three months after the empress passed away, the emperor issued a decree to confer the position of empress to Imperial Noble Consort Wei Jiashi. In July of the same year, the fifteenth prince was established as the crown prince.

 

Wei Qingxue let out a long sigh of relief as she finally reached this point. Next, it was time to remove the two mountains overhead.

 

A year later, the emperor became seriously ill and died.

 

The crown prince succeeded to the throne, respecting his biological mother as the empress dowager and his grandmother as the grand empress dowager.

 

Three months later, the grand empress dowager passed away.

 

Inside Shoukang Palace, Wei Qingxue leaned lazily on the couch. “You can handle the outside affairs yourself. Ask a few old ministers for advice. As for the harem, let Huairou beside you manage it temporarily. When the filial piety period is over, and after the empress enters the palace, then hand it over to the empress!”

 

Li Huairou’s eyes widened in horror when she heard her name. “This slave? This slave can’t do it.”

 

“Can or cannot, just try it first!” Wei Qingxue said with a smile. Looking at the emperor, she said, “Emperor, I have already done what I need to do. The next step is up to you.”

 

The emperor had not seemed to expect Wei Qingxue to delegate power so thoroughly. He was in high spirits, full of energy, and fearless. “Yes! This son knows. Thank you, Empress Mother.”

 

After coming out of Shoukang Palace, Li Huairou looked at the emperor with a sullen face. “Your Majesty, this slave can’t do it.”

 

“Don’t be afraid, I will help you,” the emperor said with a smile. In fact, his empress mother’s arrangement was very good, and he could rest assured that the harem was handed over to Sister Rou.

 

“Yeah, don’t worry, gugu. If anything comes up, just tell this servant,” Liu Deyi said, nodding. Huairou-gugu was much easier to serve than Concubine Wan and the others, and it was easy to explain to the future empress’s family.

 

Li Huairou sighed and began to count the days until the end of her filial piety period and when the empress entered the palace so that she could leave the stall. She’d assumed that, after the fifteenth prince ascended the throne, she’d be able to relax a little. Who knew…

 

Especially after seeing Wei Qingxue’s eating, drinking, and having fun all day, Li Huairou was even more indignant.

 

“Emperor, when will the empress enter the palace? When the empress enters the palace, this slave shall go to Shoukang Palace to serve the empress dowager!” Li Huairou said.

 

The emperor was approving memorials to the throne, and when he heard this, he raised his head. “Even if the empress enters the palace, you cannot leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation.”

 

“Why?!” Li Huairou lamented. “You’re not a child anymore. You can sleep well without this slave.”

 

“In short, you can’t. You must be under my nose, and I should be able to see you as soon as I look up.” The emperor said with a smile, “I am proud of it. ”

 

Liu Deyi hurriedly said, “You guys, hurry up and help gugu sit down and massage her shoulder.Gugu, this is a new snack from the imperial kitchens. Would you like to try it? Otherwise, this servant will invite several maids to tell a story?”

 

Li Huairou waved her hand expressionlessly. “No need.”

 

Liu Deyi waved his hand and told the palace maids to retreat.

 

The palace maids asked Liu Deyi, “Gonggong, what do you think the emperor’s intentions are toward gugu?”

 

Liu Deyi also wondered. Li-gugu was seven years older than the emperor. It stood to reason that if the emperor wanted to accept Li-gugu as a person by his side, it would be nothing. But the emperor and Li-gugu seem to lack that intention of getting along with each other on a daily basis. But the emperor was always inseparable from Li-gugu, and he had to take Li-gugu with him wherever he went. This kind of intimacy made even Concubine Wan and the others jealous.

 

“You don’t understand! Just hold back if you don’t understand!” Liu Deyi retorted, “Let’s ask less about the royal family!”

 

Under Li Huairou’s expectations, the empress finally entered the palace.

 

The day after the big wedding, Li Huairou happily handed everything over to the empress, and then walked away at a relaxed and happy pace.

 

The empress’s maid personally escorted her out of Kunning Palace. “Gugu, watch out for your feet. Gugu, walk slowly.”

 

A year later, the empress gave birth to the eldest princess. Although she was not a prince, she was the emperor’s first child. The emperor was still pleased, especially when Li Huairou exclaimed, “The princess looks very much like the emperor!”

 

The emperor was even happier. “Really?”

 

“Well, the eyebrows and eyes are like the emperor’s, and the mouth is like the empress’s. When she grows up, she’ll definitely be a beautiful woman,” Li Huairou said with a smile.

 

“The more you look, the greater the resemblance. Her title is Duanhe, Princess Gulen Duanhe! Sister, please give her a nickname!” the emperor said with a smile while holding his daughter.

 

“Just call her A’Shu! I hope she will be happy and comfortable in her life,” Li Huairou said after thinking about it.

 

The emperor nodded. A’Shu, alright. Let’s call her A’Shu!”

 

When the empress heard this, her previous worries about Concubine Wan’s robbing the position of eldest child were all gone. So what if she gave birth to a prince? The emperor’s mind was the most important thing.

 

After the eldest princess’s full moon, the empress begged the emperor to let Huairou-gugu be the eldest princess’s nanny. The emperor declined. “Sister is not well, so I can’t afford to be tired. But Empress Mother is idle. If you can rest assured, let my empress mother raise A’Shu. I hope that A’Shu can be like Empress Mother in the future.”

 

“However, Empress Mother has always liked the quiet…” the empress hesitated.

 

“Don’t worry, Empress Mother will be willing,” the emperor said with a smile. Sister Rou had said that, rather than A’Shu’s looking like him, it was better to say that A’Shu looked like his concubine mother.

 

Sure enough, when Wei Qingxue saw the eldest princess for the first time, she fell in love at first sight and refused to let go. The emperor and the empress looked at each other and smiled.

 

After Wei Qingxue began raising the eldest princess, her free time disappeared, but she enjoyed it.

 

Now Li Huairou was completely at ease, and she went to Shoukang Palace to watch the fun when she had nothing to do. She especially liked to see Wei Qingxue’s frantic appearance after the eldest princess urinated.

 

But there were always accidents. After she’d accidentally hugged the eldest princess once, the eldest princess remembered her. As soon as Li Huairou appeared, the eldest princess needed her to hold her. Sometimes, when Li Huairou didn’t come for a few days, the eldest princess would still look for her.

 

The eldest princess was Wei Qingxue’s heart and soul. Regarding what the eldest princess liked, Wei Qingxue would obey everything, so after learning that the eldest princess liked Li Huairou, Li Huairou also became a frequent visitor to Shoukang Palace.

 

“A’Shu wants you to hold her!” Wei Qingxue said with some dissatisfaction when they were in the imperial garden. Why did her granddaughter like Li Huairou more than her?

 

Li Huairou sighed helplessly. Why had she thought about going to watch the fun in the first place?

 

“Empress Dowager, isn’t the eldest princess too fat?” Li Huairou replied hesitantly, weighing the eldest princess.

 

“Nonsense! Our A’Shu is blessed!” Wei Qingxue said, dissatisfied.

 

“No way, this slave can’t hold her anymore.” Li Huairou wanted to give the eldest princess to the wet nurse. But the eldest princess screamed, and the wet nurse didn’t dare to reach out.

 

There was no other way. Li Huairou had to ask the palace servants to spread a soft blanket on the grass, then put the eldest princess down and let her crawl on it. The wet nurse carefully guarded her by the side.

 

“A’Shu is so cute, who knows which kid will be cheaper in the future!” Wei Qingxue sat on the chaise lounge and smiled as she looked at the eldest princess, who was crawling around.

 

“Then the empress dowager has to take care of yourself? Open your eyes and find a good family for our eldest princess in the future,” Li Huairou said with a smile.

 

“It’s needless to say,” Wei Qingxue said with a smile. She’d missed her sister and would never miss A’Shu again. She wanted to watch A’Shu grow up slowly, get married, have children, and live happily ever after.

 

Li Huairou massaged her waist. She also had to exercise hard; she was the one who’d sworn to live longer than the heroine!

 

Thirty years after Jiaqing, Emperor Jiaqing was seriously ill. Before he died, he reluctantly looked at the two most important people in his life. Wei Qingxue was still calm, and Li Huairou’s eyes were swollen from crying.

 

Wei Qingxue glanced at Li Huairou. “Don’t cry, don’t make the child worry at his last breath!”

 

Li Huairou wiped away her tears, tried her best to smile, and looked at Emperor Jiaqing.

 

Emperor Jiaqing looked at her, and then at his direct son, who was kneeling beside him. He immediately understood. “Don’t worry, Father Emperor. This son will take good care of grandmother and gugu!”

 

Then Emperor Jiaqing reluctantly closed his eyes.

 

In the tenth year of Daoguang, the Empress Dowager Wei Jia passed away.

 

In the fifteenth year of Daoguang, Li Huairou passed away. Emperor Daoguang followed the last decree of the previous emperor and buried Li Huairou by Emperor Jiaqing’s side in the manner of an imperial noble consort.
