Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Most of the consorts in the palace were working hard to give birth.

All of them wanted to give birth to a daughter and gain His Majesty’s favor.

Noble Consort Qiao had once been hurt by rumors in the harem that she was “infertile” because she had not been able to give birth.

Empress Du was worried for her sister and had once wanted to let the first prince be adopted under her Noble Consort Qiao’s name.

However, Noble Consort Qiao rejected the offer.

The relationship between the sisters was stronger than gold. When Noble Consort Qiao was slandered by rumors, Empress Du often took action to rectify the situation.

Back then, Empress Du was poisoned and fell seriously ill.

The reason was also because Noble Consort Qiao was pregnant and the sisters were careless.

As a result, the palace maids serving Empress Du were bribed.

Those years were filled with danger.

They had never betrayed each other.

Now that the harem was stable, there would be no mutual suspicion between them.

Back then, after Noble Consort Qiao gave birth to her daughter, in order not to let her power fall into the hands of others, it was disadvantageous to the two sisters…

Therefore, four months after giving birth to Gu Nuo’er, Noble Consort Qiao took the initiative to take over the rights to manage the harem.

Noble Consort Qiao knew very well the importance of the harem atmosphere, so she subdued those people who liked to cause trouble and were vicious.

Not only did she want to create an environment without danger for her daughter, Nuo’er.

She also had to ensure that she and Empress Du would not be implicated in the strife between the palaces again.

Over the past few years, Noble Consort Qiao had finally reorganized the harem with her tough methods and thoughts that were deeper than many palace consorts.

However, His Majesty had many consorts and there might still be one or two black sheep.

However, in front of the powerful noble consort, everything was not worth mentioning.

Apart from recuperating, Empress Du had been under Noble Consort Qiao’s protection all these years and had a peaceful life.

The sisters seemed to have always been like this.

When one was in trouble, the other would hold up the sky for the other party.

Empress Du carried Gu Nuo’er to the mirror on the dressing table and combed her hair gently.

Gu Nuo’er’s thick eyelashes flickered and she said curiously, “Empress Mother, do you and my mother not care about Father’s love?”

For the first time, Empress Du couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Her gaze was filled with love as she stroked Gu Nuo’er’s soft black hair.

“Nuo’er, you’re still young and won’t understand how difficult it is to ask for His Majesty’s true heart in a harem with 3,000 beauties.”

“Your mother and I are no longer young ladies who are beginners in love. We know very well that only by holding onto our power can we make the so-called love last forever.’

She was already the Empress. Why would she still ask to be doted on?

The best of both worlds was something that would never happen in this world. Empress Du understood this principle, and Noble Consort Qiao understood it even more.

Gu Nuo’er seemed to have learned a lesson. Her big eyes were tilled with deep thought.

Empress Du tied two buns for her attached on beautiful red silk.

The child looked like an adorable Chinese New Year doll on drawings.

Empress Du couldn’t help but kiss her small face. “Our Nuo’er is really good-looking. I wonder whose guy will benefit in the future.”

Gu Nuo’er looked up. “Empress Mother, will Nuo’er also marry an emperor with 3,000 beauties in the future?”

Empress Du’s smile immediately faded.

“No,” she said firmly. “Mother will never let you marry someone like that.”

Empress Du said to Gu Nuo’er seriously, “Nuo’er, you have to remember that as a woman, the best love is for only two people to be together for eternity.

She looked at the child lovingly. “Now that you have His Majesty, me, your mother, and a group of older brothers behind you, if the person who wants to marry you in the future has multiple wives and concubines, you should get rid of him as soon as possible. Mother will find a better person for you..”
