Madam Yang was in a hurry to show off her good side, so when Empress Xiao came, she turned around and told Emperor Yong Ping about the matter that night.
Ever since Provincial Governor Xiao died, Empress Xiao had a miscarriage, and was ‘framed’ as the murderer of Consort He Shu, Emperor Yong Ping inexplicably pitied Empress Xiao. He felt that the two of them were in the same boat and actually had some feelings for each other.
From time to time, he would go to the Jiaofang Palace to sit.
Emperor Yong Ping frowned at King Jiang Xia’s surrender.
“Him?” He felt conflicted.
Maybe it’s not him.” Empress Xiao saw through Emperor Yong Ping’s thoughts. This paranoia was acting up again. “Perhaps it’s Madam Yang’s own idea to give her family some benefits.”
“Back then, Mount Tai’s Yang family was also considered a great family. However, Wang, Xie, Yuan, and Xiao families occupied the center of power and excluded the Yang family. In recent years, other than the Xie family, the other great families have fallen one after another…This Yang Clan’s heart must have become lively again.”
“Moreover, Jiang Xia King is already close to sixty years old, but the oldest of his legitimate sons is only seven years old.”
“Now that the world has been set, he can’t make any more waves. Even if he has the intention, the heavens didn’t give him that condition. In this world even if he managed to obtain it, he would not be able to pass it on to his son Why bother?”
“In my opinion. Prince Jiangxia is more useful than Prince Huaiyang. After all, the King of Huaiyang was young and strong, so he posed a greater threat.” Empress Xiao knew the knot in Emperor Yong Ping’s heart and explained it to him.
At the very least, Emperor Yong Ping did not release the Prince of Huaiyang to be the governor of Xuzhou. In Empress Xiao’s opinion, it was the right choice.
In the past, rebellions were either caused by the wrath of the heavens or the resentment of the people. There were disputes among the warlords, and there was also a coup in the palace. With status and bloodline, no matter how powerful a person like Sikong Xiao was, he would not dare to usurp the throne without three or four generations of management. A few years ago, when the world was in chaos, SikongXiao didn’t even have the intention to rebel. At least in her opinion. It was impossible in this life, so that was the best time.
‘Prince JiangXia is already old, and presumably, he can’t stand the fact that the Xie and Xiao families are the only ones in power, while the Imperial Family’s power is declining. Therefore, he sent Yang Shi to speak, one to avoid suspicion, two is… He was afraid that the emperor would rebuke him face to face.”
Emperor Yong Ping heard that every word was reasonable.
Looking at Empress Xiao again, she was a virtuous wife, a talented woman.
He was dignified and virtuous.
“It is my fortune that Father chose you to be my empress. It is all thanks to Zi Tong’s consideration and advice.”
“As long as Your Majesty doesn’t mind me talking too much.” Empress Xiao sighed.” Actually, I’m also hesitating. Should I say this?” But since we are husband and wife, even if I make His Majesty unhappy, I still have to say what I should say. After all, King Jiang Xia had suggested a better option.”
Emperor Yong Ping smiled bitterly.
“Zhen knows that the members of the Imperial Family are against the Xie family, but you cannot deny the achievements of the Xie family. To me, to Daliang, that would definitely be meritorious.”
“That’s true. Even if they’re my relatives, I can’t deny the Xie family’s credit just to avoid suspicion. As for His Majesty’s ascension to the throne, both the Xiao family and the Xie family had contributed greatly. Both Jiang Xia Prince and Huaiyang Prince have their own plans…”
Your Majesty, just balance the use of people.”
Emperor Yongping clapped his hands.” Zi Tong understands me. I just want to strike a balance. I don’t want any one of them to be the only one. All are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are’ useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are’ useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are’ useful, all are useful, all are useful, all are useful,”
Empress Xiao nodded. This was the point.
Emperor Yong Ping was not stupid. What he did was to restrict the Xie family in everyway.
She could see it, and the Xie family could see it. Could it be that the old fox, Prince Jiang Xia, could not see it?
Taking advantage of this opportunity to come out, wasn’t it to seek benefits for the daughter-in-law’s family and protect the future of the Di son?
It was a tacit understanding.
As the two spoke, they brought the many beauties of the Inner Palace. Handsome Fairness Zhao and Beauty Lu’s bodies became heavier and heavier. Empress Xiao had long since exempted them from paying their respects, but it was unknown whether these two did it on purpose or were afraid of neglecting Empress Xiao. Every once in a while, on the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they would go to the Peaceful Life Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager before coming to the Jiao Fang Palace to see Empress Xiao.
She didn’t know whether to see him or not.
They might not have much knowledge and are afraid of neglecting
you. “Emperor Yong Ping smiled.” You are the Empress. If they come, you can see them if you want to. If you don’t want to see them, just send them away.”” Empress Xiao shook her head and looked at Emperor Yong Ping.
“Zitong, if you have something to say, feel free to say it.” “What else can’t we say?” Emperor Yong Ping asked.”
Empress Xiao pondered for a moment. Did Your Majesty know that Beauty Lu had defected to the people in the realms of the Neigdangs? Was she under Consort Qi De, who had just miscarried? As for Beauty Lu, she had been taken under Imperial Concubine Chu’s wing…I’m just afraid that someone will deliberately frame me. If something happens in Jiaofang Palace, I won’t be able to explain it even if I have a mouth.”
Emperor Yong Ping was stunned when he heard this. Was there still so much operation in the harem?
Why was it not inferior to the previous dynasty?
Even the concubines of the aristocratic families had captured him?
Empress Xiao’s face was full of distress.
“Outside the palace, the Qi and He families spread rumors that I poisoned the concubines. Inside the palace, other than Consort Pan Xian who was focused on taking care of her fetus in the Peaceful Life Palace, Consort He Shu died with two lives. Qi Defei also good Chu Guifei also good, each aristocratic family forces have never stopped infiltrating the harem.”
“I am alone, and it is difficult for a single tree to support me. Your Majesty and I are so similar…”
“So, sometimes, even though I know that there are some things that I shouldn’t say and that it’s not in my position to say, I still can’t help but say them.” ’
Emperor Yong Ping grabbed Empress Xiao’s hand and nodded heavily. Every word struck his heart.
Just like that, how similar were their circumstances?
“Don’t say that a single tree is difficult to support. When we join hands no matter which one of us is no longer alone. In the previous dynasty, I had my own plans. You should let go of the harem. As the saying goes, in troubled times, you should use heavy punishment. In serious illnesses, you should use fierce medicine. If anyone refuses to accept it, you should kill one as an example to others. The harem was handed over to the child. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have any capable people at hand. Just nurture them again. I don’t believe that if I give you a heavy reward, you won’t be able to get a few loyalty points!” 1
Empress Xiao nodded hesitantly.
Emperor Yong Ping: I trust you.”
“I hope that I will not disappoint Your Majesty.” Empress Xiao lowered her
head and sighed.
From an angle that Emperor Yong Ping couldn’t see, the corners of Empress
Xiao’s mouth curled up strangely.
Weren’t they all scheming against her?
Didn’t they want to lay out the power of the harem on the table?
She insisted on spreading it out!

Emperor Yong Ping accepted Empress Xiao’s advice and issued an edict to invite Yang Fengming, the eldest son of the Yang family living in Pingyuan County, to Jiankang City. After the Ministry of Personnel’s verification, he was granted the title of Assistant Minister of the Yellow Gate. In just two months, he was granted the title of Scattered Cavalry Minister.
Xie Xian watched Emperor Yong Ping’s transfer without doing anything.
All of his attention was on Xiao Baoxin in the back residence.
The last time she gave birth, she was knocked into premature labor by Cai Yuanshi, and it was more than half a month early. This time, she should have given birth in the middle or late wax month, but it was dragged until the end of the year, causing Xie Xian to be so anxious that he cried out. If it wasn’t for Doctor Xue, the other doctors, the midwife, and the hospital judge from the Imperial Academy of Medicine who had confirmed that there was no problem, Xie Xian would have flipped the roof over.
