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

Yao Jinse just watched from the sidelines, and she naturally saw whether the people around her were truly happy or not.

It can be seen that this move was correct.

In the harem, except for the empress and the imperial concubine, it was not easy for others, even Concubine Zhuang, to meet their family members. Although it was not difficult for the powerful people in the harem to exchange information with their families, hearing about them was not as good as meeting them in person. Correspondence alone could not compare to having a living person standing in front of them.

Letters talk about interests, while meetings in person talk about family affection, which are always different.

Moreover, even Concubine Qi, who was about to be able to see her family, had no objection to the imperial concubine's request. Entering the harem was like entering a prison. For concubines who wanted to meet their families, they could only wait until their qualifications and status were improved, or they were pregnant. However, neither of these two things was easy to do.

In this case, of course, we should see each other as often as possible. No one knows if other things will come up in the future. Since there is such a good opportunity right now, and it was the Imperial Concubine who made the request, why not go with the flow?
"Your Highness, this is a very thoughtful act. To be honest, I haven't seen my family for many years. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Concubine Zhuang always followed the Empress' lead, but when the Empress didn't say anything about this matter, she rashly spoke up. It can be seen that meeting with family members was totally worth a fight between her and the Empress.

Xie Yun'an didn't care much about this matter. Although there was no such precedent in the harem, it was not impossible to set one. After all, he was the new emperor, and it was reasonable for him to do something different from the previous ones.

Not to mention, he still likes Chen Yimiao very much in his heart. Even though there are so many more women in the harem, no woman can snatch Xie Yun'an away from Chen Yimiao. This naturally shows his favor.

"The Imperial Concubine is indeed kind-hearted." As the Empress who is famous for her virtue in the harem, Shen Qingyin would naturally not go against everyone else on this matter. However, if the Imperial Concubine could accomplish this so easily, she would not feel comfortable: "I still remember that few people in the Imperial Concubine's family can enter the palace to meet the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine still thinks about this matter, which shows that she really cares about the sisters in the harem."

There is no one at home, but he is still thinking about this matter. It is obvious that what he is plotting behind the scenes is not about this matter itself. Although saying this may not leave any doubt in the emperor's mind, Shen Qingyin still said it.

Xie Yun'an is now in his thirties, and is considered to be very energetic among the emperors of all dynasties. As long as such an emperor pays attention to health preservation, he will naturally live for several decades. Although Shen Qingyin has been urged by her family to give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible in recent years, she knows her own family affairs. It is probably impossible for her to have another child in her current body. If she wants a long life, she has to wait.

Wealth and glory are naturally good things. Not only the concubines in the harem want them, but the noble families outside are even more eager for them. The core reason why Shen Qingyin advised the emperor not to stay with the concubine too much, but to go to other places more often, was to see if others could give birth to two more sons.

Among the children now, except for Princess Dongyang born to Yao Jinse who is just one year old, the youngest Princess Gaoyang is already six years old, and will be seven years old after this year.

The prince can live outside the palace when he is twelve years old. The rules say it is called opening a mansion, but this is always the grace of the emperor. If the emperor does not allow it, the prince will have to live in the palace for a long time. For the eldest prince, no one has any doubts about opening a mansion in two years. As for the second prince, everyone seems to have forgotten this person. He is just raised in the palace and given to the care of the wet nurse. He doesn't even have a foster mother, so it is even more distant to open a mansion. The emperor now dotes on the imperial concubine, but he is afraid of the Chen family behind the imperial concubine. Shen Qingyin knows this, and naturally knows that the reason why Xie Yun'an married the Duke of Qi's mansion was so that this marriage could help with the throne. Now that the big thing has been accomplished, the younger generations of the Duke of Qi's mansion have added this credit to their success, and they are even more complacent. They have long been a thorn in the emperor's side.

But with Concubine Rong around, who knows what the emperor is thinking?

Shen Qingyin didn't think about suppressing the imperial concubine. She was the queen. Even if the empress dowager had an order, she wouldn't bother arguing with a concubine. The emperor wouldn't tolerate the imperial concubine giving birth at this time anyway. If the imperial concubine really got pregnant, the Duke's Mansion would collapse. What was there to be afraid of?
Besides, the subordinates would fight for favor, but in the end it still depends on the emperor's intention. The emperor treated the imperial concubine so well, and Shen Qingyin couldn't say whether it was compensation or true love, but no matter what, the queen couldn't go against the emperor at this time.

So when she said this, she didn't mean to refute it on the surface. She just wanted to remind the emperor that no matter what the emperor thought of her, there was room for explanation and it wouldn't be too difficult to do.

Xie Yun'an heard Concubine Rong's proposal and the words of Concubine Zhuang and the Queen, but he did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he looked back and forth.

Most of the concubines below had expectant expressions on their faces. It had to be said that this matter really touched everyone's heart. They were all girls who had left home to enter the palace at a young age. Even if they didn't say it on the surface, they all wanted to meet their families in their hearts.

The imperial concubine really gave him a difficult problem.

However, putting aside the current situation in the harem, this matter is not difficult to handle after all. What the imperial concubine asked for is reasonable, not to mention that concubines can meet their own mothers.

Although he had to wait until the time of giving birth, since there was such an opportunity, it was impossible to completely cut off the connection between the former dynasty and the harem. Besides, sometimes he, the newly enthroned emperor, still needed the women in the harem to help him form alliances and spread some messages.

Therefore, accepting this matter was not a difficult thing to do. On the contrary, it made him appear to be a benevolent and magnanimous emperor, which was quite helpful to his reputation.

Yao Jinse sat in her seat with a slight smile between her eyes and lips.

Now that the emperor has made the decision, things will be much easier to do. However, seeing how happy the concubines are, I'm afraid the trend in the harem will really change in the future. (End of this chapter)
