Chapter 1439 Zhang Xu Kingdom’s Internal Situation



"Prepare more pastries that she liked," Si Bai gave order as he walked down the stairs. "Oh wait, let me pick it myself. You wouldn't know what she liked."

The servant looked at Si Bai expressionlessly. For some reason, he had the feeling that he was back to the days when Si Mo Fan married Yan Xi. At that time, he had been a complete love brain and was trying his best to satisfy all Yan Xi's wishes.

It was to the point that Leader Ji, Ji Han Yu, wished to beat up Si Mo Fan so badly if not he couldn't defeat the other party.

Who would have thought that his son would behave similarly?CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

Like father like son.

The servant sighed and simply watched as Si Bai happily picked the pastries. In any case, with Si Bai managed to find a partner here and also happy together, their appearance no longer startled anyone. Slowly but surely, they blended into Zhang Xu Kingdom.

...

<Zhang Xu Kingdom's Capital City, Imperial Palace's Harem>

The Imperial Palace was beautiful and peaceful on the surface. But how many undercurrents happened below was not spread outside. It was kept in secret with few people knowing it.

Empress Dowager Jian looked at the table full of teas and pastries in front of her with cold face. Ever since the previous Emperor passed away, her title changed from Empress to Empress Dowager.

Even though she was still living in this large harem, her power was no longer as much as before.

She's not the third prince's mother.

But because she used to be the Empress, she still retained the title of Empress Dowager. But the power of the harem had been handed over to the new Empress while many of the previous emperor's concubines were sent to the nearby temples.

Only a few were left behind.

Unfortunately, the current power was hold on Emperor Zhang Hou Tian.

They could only curse bitterly inside their heart and transferred their hatred towards Empress Lang in front of them.

They couldn't touch the men.

But they could still stab Empress Lang a bit from time to time.

Anyway, there was no other amusement in this large palace. It would be better for them to spend their time 'fighting' with the other women in their spare time when they were annoyed.

"Your Majesty must be kidding. How can I know the details? Aijia is only worried and thought that Your Majesty knows more," Empress Dowager Huan replied kindly.

Empress Lang smiled and said nothing. She was tired of these women who kept on coming to search trouble from her. Even now, she felt that it was not a good day for her to come out.

These women just wanted to look for trouble from her.

"It has been a while. The tea is cold and Aijia is tired." Empress Dowager Jian waved her hand. "Let's go back and rest."

"Yes, Empress Dowager Jian."

As the former Empress, Empress Dowager Jian had the highest power among them. Even if her son is not the current Emperor, it didn't change the fact that she was one of the most powerful among them.

It might be attributed to the fact that the Jian Family still hold some important position on the court. Not to mention, Empress Dowager Jian's sister also had a lot of connection through her second marriage.

The other Empress Dowagers and Imperial Concubines were not necessarily had higher background.

Thus, they were all very respectful.

Slowly, these women curtsied and began to walk towards their separate palace. The harem was large and each of these women had their own courtyard with its size depended on their status.
