In the first year of entering the palace, she was just a Lady of Talents.
In the fifth year of entering the palace, she became a Handsome Fairness.
In the tenth year of entering the palace, she aspired to become the Empress, since it was the only way she could hold onto everything dear to her, never to be taken away.
 She could protect herself, her children, and most importantly, be with him.
This was a path with no retreat; stepping back would be an irreversible calamity.
The bright yellow silk umbrella advanced, and the Emperor's procession slowly entered the city gate. The yellow silk umbrella, the sun-and-moon fan, the purple banner... At that moment, the sunlight dazzled the eyes. Empress Xie's phoenix carriage moved forward along the imperial road, meeting him halfway.

Empress Xie

When Qinghe came out holding a glass of water, she ran into Li Shuling, who had brought a carefully considered prescription and was waiting for the emperor to review it before going to decoct the medicine.


Qinghe took a step forward with some trepidation, knelt down and asked in a low voice, "Master Li, is our lady all right?"


Li Shuling recognized her as the trusted palace maid serving Beauty Xie, nodded and said, "Don't worry too much, Beauty Xie is fine."


Qinghe smiled and thanked him, then stepped aside to let Li Shuling in.


Li Shuling turned his head and looked at her, thinking that this girl must not know that she had just taken a turn in front of the ghost gate tonight. Qinghe was also a person related to the hand stove, but Bai Hongqi did not let anyone touch her. He just asked her a few questions when she passed by just now.
