Empress Dowager Yan is only in her twenties. She's the second Empress after the first Empress died in Emperor Yang Zhou's father's era. At that time, the Yan Family was both remorseful and proud for being picked as the Empress.
It was just that…
The reputation of the Emperor was not good.
No one didn't know the fact that Emperor Xuan favored Imperial Concubine Mei so greatly because of her beauty. Everyone who had seen her would know that she was so beautiful that the Emperor would want to have her as his main wife.
But the officials strongly protested against it.
It was not like they didn't know the Emperor's favor and taste, but it was because Imperial Concubine Mei was so beautiful that they were afraid.
Afraid that the Emperor would follow Imperial Concubine Mei's wishes unconditionally.
Afraid that the Emperor would follow Imperial Concubine Mei's whim all the time.
