On the night of the empress’s funeral, His Majesty and I spent the entire night together in a side hall.
Everyone in the capital called me shameless.
After all, the empress was my own aunt, and His Majesty was her husband—my uncle by marriage.
Before that, I had been meant to marry the crown prince.
But Yuan Xiujin did not like me.
He despised my coarse origins, sneered at the Meng family’s rustic ways, and thought us unworthy of the Eastern Palace.
As if I thought any better of him.
Father and son, yet so different.
Yuan Xiujin let a woman lead him by the nose.
Yuan Zhaoyu already held the empire in his hand.
Since he would not let me become his crown princess, I would simply have to become his father’s consort instead.
