Lan Yun is the young lady of the Imperial Tutor's residence. She is free-spirited and skilled at horseback riding and archery.
But the year she came of age, she was forced to enter the palace as a consort. The following year, the Imperial Tutor's residence was charged with treason, her elder sister was murdered, and Lan Yun was banished to the Cold Palace.
She entered the palace as a Noble Consort, and her elder sister had been Empress. Proud and cold-tempered, she had offended many people, so when she fell from grace, the palace consorts clapped for joy.
Yet on just the third day, Lan Yun emerged from the Cold Palace. An imperial edict declared her Empress, leaving the court officials and consorts stunned, then pale-faced as they knelt to protest.
How could the daughter of a convicted traitor become Empress?
Just as the protests reached a fever pitch, someone came striding over a trail of corpses. His blue eyes were cold to the extreme. "This prince thinks the Noble Consort has a lovely face and an even lovelier voice. She is worthy of being the mother of this nation."
Standing on the high platform beside the Emperor, Lan Yun unconsciously clenched her fist inside her sleeve, but her expression did not change.
Seeing this, Xie Ying's eyes gradually filled with teasing amusement.
After the wedding of the Emperor and Empress, the palace attendants withdrew from the main hall. Lan Yun was about to undress when she looked up and saw someone standing behind a pillar. Her heart lurched. Glancing at the Emperor, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, she snapped, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Xie Ying pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply. Lan Yun went pale with fright and shoved him away with all her strength, only for him to hold her even tighter. Her lips hurt, and he finally let her go with a low laugh. "Sister-in-law, you weren't like this last night."
