Soon, the news that the eighteenth prince, Jun Ning, who had not died in the Cold Palace years ago, had now exited and was disguised as a woman to seek imperial favor, reached the ears of the Empress Dowager.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager remained silent for a full quarter of an hour.
Over the years, Emperor Yongning had been longing for a daughter, so children in the harem were born one after another, but unfortunately, they were all sons.
The Empress Dowager observed this with schadenfreude in her heart.
She thought her son might be fated never to have a daughter in this lifetime.
She had once advised Emperor Yongning to give up, and each time, he would nod vigorously in agreement. Little did she expect that agreeing was one thing, and doing was another.
Had he not given up yet?
Not only had he not given up, but he had also gone so far as to let his son disguise himself as a woman to provide him with psychological comfort?
It was truly incredible.
