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...

Empress Xie

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, the palace was decorated with lanterns, sweeping away the gloomy and desolate atmosphere of the past half month. Although no one mentioned Beauty Xie's unexplained fainting incident, but if one was careful enough, they could notice that the number of people using the hand stoves in the palace had decreased sharply, indicating that the secret could not be hidden. Although no one mentioned that Beauty Xie fainted because of the hand stove, everyone in the palace had their own sources of information.


People were afraid of being targeted, and they were also afraid that the hand stove would be confiscated when it was taken out. It was feared that no one would like this item this winter or even next year. However, people were most adept at forgetting. After three to five years, this matter would be completely removed from memory.
