"I am the only legitimate master in the palace, and I am the principal wife. Even for the sake of my father, he treats me well."

Xiao Yan yawned lazily and didn't take it seriously.

"As long as you know."

Madam Xiao lowered her voice and said to Xiao Yan, "Do you still remember your cousin from your uncle's family?

In the future, find an excuse to ask her to come to the palace to accompany you and show her face in front of the emperor."

"Mother?"

Xiao Yan was stunned, although she also planned to take a concubine for the emperor.

But when her biological mother brought it up, she felt particularly uncomfortable.

"how?"

Mrs. Xiao didn't expect her daughter, who had always been sensible, to be so resistant. She said earnestly:

"You are the queen, you should be dignified and generous, unlike those petty and tender concubines.

The emperor will respect you, but he may not love you the most. He also asked your cousin to come to the palace to help you secure your position as queen."

"I know."

Xiao Yan was unhappy, but did not show it in front of her mother.

However, no one knows a daughter better than her mother, and Mrs. Xiao saw through Xiao Yan's thoughts at a glance.

"Dad and Mom are thinking about you, Yan'er. The most important thing is to give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible.

But if you can't do it, you can ask your cousin to give birth to a child, and you can raise it in your arms at least."

It's not that she didn't trust her daughter, but Madam Xiao privately thought that the emperor would not be happy to let his daughter get pregnant.

"Mother, let me think about it."

Xiao Yan felt very depressed and uncomfortable, but still forced a smile.

After seeing Madam Xiao off, Biyu complained quietly, "My Lady, how long have you been in the palace?

Madam doesn't care about you, but wants to put someone beside the emperor."

"Biyu, be careful with your words!"

Xiao Yan lay on the couch tiredly. Taking a concubine was something she had thought about a long time ago.

Why is it so painful when it comes to my relatives?

When the emperor came, he saw Xiao Yan looking listless and dazed. He rarely saw her like this.

"What's wrong with the queen?"

"emperor."

Xiao Yan forced himself to respond to the emperor, and was obviously a little absent-minded.

This made the emperor secretly unhappy, and he left not long after staying.

Biyu couldn't help but persuade Xiao Yan, "Your Majesty, please be more open-minded. You are now in the palace and you have to rely on the emperor's favor."

"Grace?"

Xiao Yan smiled sarcastically, how long can grace last, and beauty will fade with time.

About five or six days later, seeing that she had not taken any action, Madam Xiao personally brought her niece Jiang Qin into the palace.

"Miss."

Jiang Qin was also carrying a small bag, obviously planning to stay in the palace for a few days.

Madam Xiao held Xiao Yan's hand and whispered, "My lady, the talent show is coming soon.

Letting Qin'er enter the palace first is also to help you, so don't miss the opportunity."

Letting Jiang Qin show up in front of the emperor first would always seize the initiative.

"My dear cousin, I will help you wholeheartedly."

Jiang Qin was still young, and the ambition in her eyes could not be hidden, even though she said she was helping her.

But Xiao Yan actually saw the real intention very clearly.

She was a little annoyed. "Mother, didn't I tell you to think about it? Why did you make the decision without my consent?"

What does she take her for?

"Mother knew you couldn't make up your mind, so I made the decision for you."

Madam Xiao was also a woman, so she naturally knew how painful it was to give her husband to someone else.

But she had to consider the Xiao family and the Jiang family.

"Are you blaming me?"

There was loneliness in Mrs. Xiao's eyes. After all, she was her mother, so Xiao Yan endured it again and again.

"Mom, don't do this next time."

This meant forgiving her, which made both Mrs. Xiao and Jiang Qin very happy.

The two were still thinking about it when the voice of Eunuch Zhou was heard outside.

"The Emperor has arrived."

When she heard that the emperor was coming, Jiang Qin hurriedly straightened her clothes and temples.

She wanted to leave a good impression on the emperor.

Xiao Yan walked in front to greet the emperor, and soon a bright yellow figure appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone saluted.

The emperor's eyes passed over everyone and fell in front of Xiao Yan. In front of her family, he gave her respect.

So he personally helped Xiao Yan up and said, "Queen, there is no need to be so polite.

If you miss your family, you can ask Madam Xiao to come to the palace to see you more often."

He was still very tolerant towards Xiao Yan, often giving Xiao Yan the illusion that he had forgotten Fusang.

"Yes."

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, receiving the frantic look from her mother, and said reluctantly:

"I do miss my family, so I want my cousin Jiang Qin to stay with me in the palace for a few days."

"Your servant Jiang Qin greets His Majesty."

Jiang Qin shyly raised her eyes to glance at the emperor, then quickly looked away.

If the emperor didn't know their intentions at first, he soon saw the clues.

His expression suddenly darkened and he looked at Xiao Yan with slightly narrowed eyes.

"Whatever the Queen decides is fine."

After saying that, he turned his sleeves and left angrily. What did they think of him?

Seeing him leave, Madam Xiao was a little confused, "What's going on, Your Majesty?"

“Maybe not very happy.”

Xiao Yan pursed her lips and said, “Mother, you are acting on your own, the emperor is very smart.

He saw our intention and was naturally not very happy. "

"We finally got Qin'er to enter the palace. If she follows him back, won't all our efforts be wasted?"

So Madam Xiao insisted on keeping Jiang Qin and then left the palace.

Jiang Qin, on the other hand, had always been humble in front of Xiao Yan, "Sister, I'm a little scared living alone.

Can I live with you? Don't worry, I won't disturb you. "

This intention... couldn't be more obvious.

Although Xiao Yan had taken the initiative to look through the book of concubines with the emperor, she was still very unhappy about Jiang Qin's initiative at this moment.

"You can live in the next room. I don't like living with others."

After all, Xiao Yan is the queen. Although Jiang Qin has been trying to please her, she does not dare to really offend Xiao Yan.

When the maid sent her to the side room, Biyu complained:

"My Lady, this Miss Jiang is vying for favor and even wants to be in the Fengluan Palace. She is a little too much."

"Don't worry, the emperor won't come today."

Xiao Yan now has some understanding of the emperor. He hates being used the most.

So he definitely wouldn't come over tonight, at least to teach her a lesson.

"Yes."

Biyu also secretly hoped that the emperor would not come. Sure enough, the emperor did not come tonight.

For some reason, Xiao Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next morning, when Biyu was helping her wash up, she couldn't help but said angrily:

"You don't know, Madam, that Miss Jiang was sneaking around the door of our palace last night.

It seems like she is waiting for the emperor. If the emperor comes, I am afraid she will want to lure the empress away before she even sees her."

"Let her be."

Xiao Yan smiled weakly. If it wasn't her, it would be someone else, a woman in this palace.

Who doesn't want to compete for that person's favor?

Unfortunately, he already had someone he loved.

Biyu felt sorry for her master and said sadly, “But my lady, if she really gets face in front of the emperor.

What are you going to do? I feel sorry for you."
