Your Majesty, please do not disturb, the empress only wants to engage in business

When it comes to impression, it's always about striking while the iron is hot. If you fail to deepen the impression when people have the best impression of you, you will miss the opportunity.

Although Yao Jinse didn't know what impression Xie Yun'an had of her in his heart, it was definitely not very good, otherwise there wouldn't have been such surprise and surprise on his face last night.

In fact, Yao Jinse could understand many things by thinking about them herself.

When the new emperor ascended the throne and the concubines entered the palace to determine their ranks, the princess was not yet a princess, but just a child in Yao's belly. In this era without medical imaging, it was naturally impossible to tell the gender of a child in the womb. No matter how skilled the traditional Chinese medicine master was, he would not dare to make this guarantee.

So at that time, it was possible for Yao Jinse to give birth to a prince.

Under such circumstances, she only obtained the position of a concubine and did not even have a title. It is easy to imagine what kind of image Yao had in Xie Yun'an's mind.

He is taciturn and has no special features. Even if he is lucky enough to have a child, I am afraid such a child will not have any future. What's more, he is young and in the prime of his life. Will he lack children in the future?

I'm afraid that at that time, Xie Yun'an never took the child in Yao Jinse's belly seriously. The Great Zhou Dynasty was powerful, and it would only develop stronger under his leadership. Even the lives of the common people would be much better than in the previous dynasty. A conceited person like Xie Yun'an would naturally not easily take a fancy to a woman with a mediocre family background and plain looks.

Up to now, the reason why the situation has changed is simply because the emperor has been on the throne for some time, but no one in the harem has become pregnant. In addition, those jealous people even resort to taboo methods such as witchcraft. Every single thing is enough to make people upset.

At this time, the purest one is naturally the little princess who is not even one year old.

The emperor came to Yuxiu Palace because of the princess, and Yao Jinse knew it very well.

The women in the palace always fantasize about the emperor's love, thinking that as long as they have some emotional connection with the emperor, they can do anything in the palace without any hindrance. However, Yao Jinse knows that the so-called love in the world is nothing but a lie woven by men to women for thousands of years.

Love is of course an important thing. For a person, as an individual, being able to receive love from others, especially unconditional love, can naturally bring many benefits.

So the lies of love that men weave for women, combined with thousands of years of etiquette and rules, have locked women in a cage, leaving them with no other choice.

Women can do nothing but love men.

But after truly seeing the vast world, how can one be willing to return to such a cage?
Yao Jinse always felt that if a person could gain power, money, status, and admiration and respect from countless people, then no matter whether this person was a man or a woman, Yao Jinse did not believe that such a person would be moved by petty love - perhaps there would always be people who were willing to give their true heart for the good of others, but to say that the word love could outweigh the life and property of such a person, Yao Jinse definitely did not believe it.

So she didn't think that Xie Yun'an had any romantic feelings for her. He had quite a lot of women in the harem, some gentle and dignified, some bright and generous, some lively and passionate, some beautiful and shy. He could have whatever he wanted. After seeing so many of them, she became indifferent to them.

Whether it was Concubine Rong or Qiao Yanran, they were just the people he liked the most from his aesthetic point of view. But no matter who it was, when facing him, they were always gentle and considerate, and tried their best to please him.

So Yao Jinse cannot be the same.

In the past, Yao Jinse would never have thought that one day she would focus on pleasing a man, but now that this thing has really happened, she finds it a little funny.

But what can she do? Since she is here, she should make the best of it. She cannot accept the status quo and wait for death in such a situation, so she can only seek change.

I don’t ask a man to care about me, but I want a stable life for me.

Yao Jinse glanced at the window. Although the paper-pasted window was bright, it was not as transparent as glass.

In this era, glass or colored glaze is still a luxury item and cannot be used to make windows.

However, through the not-so-transparent paper window, she could still vaguely feel the north wind blowing outside.

After this year, the princess will be one year old. The healthy child can already appear beside her grandmother.

Yao Jinse always remembered that the child still had no title. Yao Jinse had a plan in mind and hadn't even given him a nickname.

As the queen, Shen Qingyin had made it clear before that the princess could only be canonized and named in the imperial book after she turned one year old. However, even the second prince, who was not very popular, would not have to wait until then to have his name.

Rules are rules, and fatherly love is fatherly love. If the princess really has to wait for the rules to do these things, then she will probably have to abide by the rules and live a cautious life all her life.

Even if she was not a mother, Yao Jinse definitely did not want to see such a thing happen.

In this world, a prince can still fight for his own place, but a princess's life depends entirely on the love of her father.

If one cannot get the emperor's favor, it is also good to have the empress dowager's protection. It is too difficult to get something extra from a stingy person like Xie Yun'an, so Yao Jinse simply doesn't bother and try from other places.

A two-pronged approach. If she had the credit for making the heater, even if the emperor didn't reward her, the empress dowager would have to pretend to do so. Even if she got nothing in the end, the imperial concubine might be able to get some benefits.

All things are difficult at the beginning, and Yao Jinse does not ask for anything else, as long as she can have it.

In this harem, the best person is actually like Concubine Jing. She seems not to fight for anything, but in fact she has received all the benefits. If she really wants to do something, she will be able to do it.

Speaking of Concubine Jing, Yao Jinse also thought of Jin Chuan. Before, Yonghe Palace was almost completely closed to the outside world. Yao Jinse had no power and could not interfere. Now it is much more convenient.

There are always some benefits to being in charge of the distribution of winter clothes and charcoal. Concubine Zhuang is only in charge of the big head, and there must be no mistakes in the overall account. As for who to arrange to deliver the things, these are things that He Yunqing and Yao Jinse have to worry about. And Concubine Jing's Yonghe Palace is naturally a place that needs charcoal.

It is not difficult to get a message in after all. (End of this chapter)
