Days went by as the staff eagerly prepared for the two upcoming engagements. The concubines and consorts were extremely resentful of Ying Yue for stealing their emperor's love and care.
" You must be satisfied with yourself, aren't you, Lady Ying Yue? "
The one to approach Ying Yue was Fleurette Gong, one of the principal consorts. Just as her name suggests, she was versatile in a lot of fields, including dancing and singing. Thinking among all her competition to win the emperor's heart, she would be the one to land the title of esteemed empress, she was taken off her pedestal when she heard the news of the emperor's engagement to another woman, who was none other than the nanny who was hired as Prince Li Wei's caretaker.
Smirking arrogantly at her, she emphasized, " I knew from the start you were only interested in the emperor. Your care for Prince Li Wei was just an excuse you found for yourself to justify your aim, didn't you? "
