"Your Majesty..."
"Hmm?"
"It's better to summon Princess Yijia earlier. I want to bear a child for Your Majesty!"
The Emperor laughed, reached out to pinch Consort Le's cheek, "Do you prefer a son or a daughter?"
"I want both a son and a daughter!"
"You certainly are greedy!"
Consort Le leaned into the Emperor's embrace, "A son as majestic as Your Majesty, a girl as tender as your concubine, soft like a dough of powdered face, would that not be delightful?"
"Good, all shall be as you wish. I shall grant you several children, so even if I am no longer here, you will have support, and no one will dare to harm you!"
Consort Le immediately burst into tears, shaking her head fervently, "Your concubine wants Your Majesty to live a hundred years. I only need Your Majesty's protection, I want no one else!"
She was not foolish.
