The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 107 I already have someone I like
The palace servants' chanting brought everyone back to their senses, and they all rose to pay their respects.

Yunwei had no choice but to get up as well.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!"

A pretty young woman soon appeared before everyone.

"No gift."

The voice is very gentle.

She is the current Empress Dowager and the birth mother of Emperor Rongxin.

Yunwei glanced at her discreetly, then noticed that the Empress Dowager looked at Ning Shi, and the two seemed to understand each other implicitly.

It seems that the restoration of the title of Duke of Chen was thanks to the Empress Dowager.

When the Empress Dowager stepped forward to pay her respects to the Grand Empress Dowager, she noticed Yunwei standing to the side and paused, "Mother, who is this...?"

"This is Princess Rong'an." The Empress Dowager was not too willing to introduce Yun Wei to her, so she said it briefly.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Yunwei thoughtfully. "So you're the newly appointed Princess Rong'an? You seem quite clever."

"Yunwei's bestowal of this title is a blessing from the imperial court," Yunwei said calmly.

The Empress Dowager remained noncommittal, but said meaningfully, "Over the years, there have been few who have caught the Regent's eye. It seems you are quite capable."

Upon hearing this, everyone knew that Yun Wei's appointment was related to the Regent.

Looking at this woman, who is so beautiful and charming, what other skills could she possibly have?
Perhaps they used underhanded methods?
For a moment, everyone looked at Yun Wei with disdain and contempt.

She's just a woman who seduces men by climbing into their beds.

Now that Ning was feeling better, she said, "Your Majesty, you may not know this, but Princess Rong'an is quite capable. Despite being divorced, she still received an imperial reward, which is truly unique in the world."

The Empress Dowager seemed unaware that Yunwei had been divorced. Upon hearing this, she looked surprised and said, "So Princess Rong'an has already married and divorced?"

Yunwei glanced at Ning Shi.

Did she think that the Empress Dowager didn't know she had been divorced, and therefore wanted to use this to make the Empress Dowager dislike her?

"Your Majesty, Yunwei has indeed divorced." Yunwei said neither humbly nor arrogantly, then looked at Ning Shi and smiled, "To be honest, Yunwei was able to get a divorce thanks to Madam Chen's daughter."

You all probably don't know this, but Madam Chen's daughter followed Li Yaoting without any betrothal or marriage proposal while they were at the border. She even had a child with him. As soon as she returned to the capital, she came to me and asked to come into my household as a concubine.

Seeing how deeply in love they were, I didn't want to be the bad guy standing between them, so I had no choice but to give up my position as wife.

"Speaking of which, Madam Chen should thank me. If I hadn't taken the initiative to divorce her, your daughter would still be a concubine, unable to show her face in public."

Ning's smile froze instantly, and she gripped her handkerchief tightly to avoid losing her composure.

That vile woman, Yun!

Ning nearly ground her teeth to powder.

The way others looked at her instantly changed.

They had naturally heard about the Li family's affairs.

But those were all things I heard from other people, and they were all incomplete and unsubstantiated.

The person who said this today is one of the parties involved, and judging from Ning's reaction, it seems to be absolutely certain.

It's truly scandalous! A perfectly respectable noblewoman, yet she's willing to become someone's concubine. How shameless! She even forced the wife to give up her position to her.

Judging from this, the upbringing of the Duke of Chen's family is hardly commendable.

For a time, everyone felt both disgust for the Chen family and sympathy for Yunwei.

To be honest, the Yun family has had a tough time.

"So it was your Chen family's daughter who caused Weiwei's divorce? This is outrageous!" Just then, the Empress Dowager suddenly slammed her hand on the armrest of her chair, clearly displeased.

Ning was startled and hurriedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. It was your fault for not disciplining your daughter properly."

The Empress Dowager didn't look at her again, but instead held Yunwei's hand tightly with a look of heartache, though her heart was not in it.

Fortunately, Weiwei got divorced, otherwise there wouldn't have been any trouble with her son Rongzhen.
The Empress Dowager felt uneasy seeing her so close to Yunwei.

What kind of bewitching potion did Lady Yun give the Empress Dowager?

She was just a woman who had been married and divorced. The Empress Dowager frowned almost imperceptibly.

"Mother, it's almost time. Shouldn't we move to the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"

The Empress Dowager nodded, stood up, and said, "Let's go."

Just as the Empress Dowager was about to step forward to help her, she saw that Yunwei had already taken her hand and stepped down the jade steps.

The Empress Dowager froze, her anger growing even stronger.

Just as they arrived outside the Empress Dowager's palace, they encountered the Emperor, Rong Zhen, and several ministers.

The two sides exchanged greetings.

"Shenzhi, look who's here!" The Empress Dowager called out to her son with a smile.

Rong Zhen had already spotted Yun Wei among the group of noblewomen and ladies.

Seeing that his mother had specifically mentioned him, a hint of unease flashed across his handsome face, but he still nodded to Yunwei.

Yun Wei didn't react much, but the others were not at peace.

Yunwei and the Regent are indeed not a simple couple.

Everyone says that the Regent is a man of few desires and does not get close to women, but he is different towards this Lady Yun.

In an instant, everyone's gaze towards Yun Wei was incredibly fervent.

Over the years, she is the first, and probably the only, woman who has earned the Regent's high regard.

Once inside the hall, the women all surrounded Yunwei, showering her with concern and asking after her well-being.

Of course, this excludes Ning Shi and Chen Yuniang, who entered the palace later.

The mother and daughter were seething with hatred as they watched Yunwei being fawned over like a star.

Not long after, the envoys from the Yue Kingdom, led by the Ministry of Rites, entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony and paid their respects to the emperor.

Looking at the group of envoys, Yunwei quietly covered her face with a veil.

After presenting their tribute, the envoys took their seats one by one.

Yunwei kept her head down and ate silently.

But at that moment, a spoiled voice said, "Brother, I've taken a liking to him, I want him!"

Yunwei didn't even raise her head, but the hall was deathly silent.

After a long pause, someone spoke up: "Princess of the Moon Kingdom, this is the Regent of our Wei Kingdom." The implication was that you are not worthy of his presence.

Yun Wei paused for a moment, then finally looked up.

So the Moon Kingdom princess has taken a liking to Rong Zhen?
She couldn't help but look in the man's direction.

The man's face was solemn, and he did not speak.

Princess Nayue suddenly asked, "Is he married?"

The minister who had spoken paused, unsure how to respond.

"Since you don't have a wife, what's the problem?" The Moon Kingdom princess shrugged, saying indifferently.

“Although the Regent is not yet married, he already has someone he loves and cannot marry the princess.” At this moment, the Empress Dowager spoke slowly and deliberately with a stern face.

"You already have someone you like?" The Moon Kingdom princess frowned as she looked at Rong Zhen.

The others in the hall couldn't help but look at him.

Rong Zhen ignored him, but instead looked up in the direction of Yun Wei.

Yunwei thought to herself that Rong Zhen did indeed have someone he liked. Last time, Pei Qing even said that his lips had been bitten by his little wife.

Thinking of this, she scoffed inwardly.

The regent, who supposedly doesn't get close to women, is actually quite a womanizer in private.

She gathered her thoughts, picked up her glass, and was about to take a small sip when the man's voice suddenly rang out, "You know your own limits, don't you? You'll be drunk again in no time."
