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

Xie Ning didn't dare to hang up this painting, feeling embarrassed for others to see it. Someone compared painting eyebrows to a boudoir pleasure, and the emperor painted this painting for her, its level of privacy no less than painting eyebrows.


So how could she hang it up grandly, letting everyone who passes by the painting see it clearly?


Her body was becoming heavier and heavier, but Xie Ning still took walks in the Yong'an Palace courtyard every day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once after dinner. Qinghe was afraid she would get tired, but Xie Ning always felt that with such a precious royal scion in her belly, she should eat well, drink well, and rest well. She would enjoy herself and do whatever was comfortable and effortless.
