Chapter 620 The Empress Was Specially Favored (Part Two)


    "It''s noon already. There''s no need for that. Just tell all thedies toe and pay respects to me


    tomorrow." The empress yed with the petals as she spoke slowly. "Prepare an outfit with a low cor


    for me tomorrow."


    "Yes, Your Majesty," said Nancy, as her eyes lit up.


    The emperor stayed only with the empress, which made his concubines feel neglected. After all, even


    though the empress was still elegant and graceful, she was not in the bloom of youth. Even though she


    was still well maintained, she could hardly be as delicate and beautiful as the youngdies of the


    pce. It was well known that the emperor had a passion for young beauties. Even if he held the


    empress in high esteem, it was impossible to believe that he wanted to sleep with her in the Sleek


    Pce every night.


    "Lady Sherry, what is going on with His Majesty nowadays?" one of the emperor''s concubines asked


    curiously.


    Sherry kept herself calm, as if she didn''t even care. "He is the emperor. How can we know what His


    Majesty is thinking about? He can do whatever he wants. It''s not for others to pry into his business.


    Don''t start talking like that, Lady. I''m afraid His Majesty will be displeased if he hears that we''re


    gossiping about him."


    "Yes, Lady Sherry."


    Monica noticed something wrong in the imperial harem in recent days. She had a suspicion that


    something was about to happen. Ever since her daughter Lilian hade of age, Monica had be


    more sensitive and alert to the social atmosphere. After all, she had only one daughter, and she didn''t


    want her to marry someone randomly.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    "Well, Her Majesty doesn''t need our greetings. We should all go back now. What''s the point of staying


    here?" Monica finally spoke.


    "Yes, Lady Monica."


    The concubines all stood up and said goodbye to each other. Soon, only Sherry and Monica were left


    in the hall. Monica looked at Sherry and asked, "Sherry, how''s Francis nowadays?"


    "He''s much better now. He could hardly walk for so many years, but he can walk outside now. It''s just


    that he is still a bit weaker than an average person. I don''t expect much from life. All I want is his safety


    and health. But..." Sherry said in distress.


    "Don''t worry, Sherry. Francis is a good man and he has good fortune. God will bless him." Monica held


    Sherry''s hand. "Do you feel that something is strange in the pce recently and a storm ising?"


    Sherry raised her eyebrows and looked at Monica. "Lady Monica, you just encouraged me not to worry.


    Now you seem even more worried than me. I don''t think there''s anything to be rmed about, but it''s


    incredible how much His Majesty suddenly favors Her Majesty alone. We''ve both been living in the


    Imperial Pce for many years. We know what sort of man His Majesty is. He has a passion for


    beauties. In his advancing years, he has always favored the young and beautiful women more and


    more."


    "I find it very strange, too. His Majesty seems to have changed his habits entirely, as if he lost his


    interest in young girls, and now prefers mature women. It''s rather inconceivable, isn''t it? Sherry, do you


    think Her Majesty has used some sort of witchery on him?" Monica asked in a low voice.


    "Monica, don''t talk nonsense." Sherry looked around, anxious to see that they were the only two there,


    and whispered, "There are no secrets in the Imperial Pce. We should watch our words carefully.


    Both of us have children, and if we get in trouble, so will our children."


    Monica''s face changed slightly. "I wasn''t raising the idea seriously. It''s just incredible that a man who


    used to like young girls suddenly cares only for one particr older woman to the exclusion of


    everyone else."


    "He''s had so many young women that he''s in the mood for something different."


    "When he changes his mood, he looks for another young woman with a different style. I''ve never seen


    him prefer an older one," Monica added.


    "If the woman in the Sleek Pce hears your words, get ready for that she will make trouble for you


    and your daughter. She''s the empress! If she interferes in Lilian''s marriage, there will be nothing you


    can do," Sherry reproached her with a frown. "Besides, seeing that she has kept her position for so


    many years, she must have some tricks up her sleeve."


    "You are right. Now I''m worried about Lilian''s marriage." Monica looked worried. "The girl is so


    stubborn. She just loves Master Chodak, but he''s a monk! Even though she loves him, she can''t even


    get close to him. What can I do? She hates me for confining her to the pce. She didn''te back


    after she ran away yesterday. If I hadn''t sent people to take her back, who knows what she would have


    done."


    Hearing this, Sherry shook her head and said, "Lilian is a tough girl. She''s been pursuing Master


    Chodak for so many years and still hasn''t given up. Maybe she has her own ideas. You are her mother,


    after all, and won''t harm her. If possible, talk to her and try to find out what she has in mind. Not many


    princesses in the royal family have reached adulthood."


    Sherry''s words made Monica nervous. Lilian alone, among the princesses in the Imperial Pce, had


    alreadye of age. Even though that fact wasn''t on the minds of the emperor and empress at


    present, they would remember it sooner orter, so she had to make arrangements for her daughter


    without dy.


    "His Majesty mentioned Lilian''s marriage in an offhand manner the other day. I have a reputation to be


    arrogant and bossy in the Imperial Pce. Everyone says that His Majesty spoils me very much. But


    who is really the arrogant one in this pce?" Monica heaved a sigh.
