Give and take

The matter between the Empress and the Emperor soon spread to Grand Dowager Empress. Though the elderly woman heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that her grandson was fine, she was still upset that the one who took advantage of the situation was the Empress, after all, The Grand Empress Dowager wanted someone from her own family to carry the heir of the throne first before the Empress. 

In case she was to get pregnant before someone from the Ji family then it would be twice as troublesome to clear the mess.

" Your majesty, you need not worry," seeing that the Grand Dowager Empress was concerned about what took place at the Emperor's palace this afternoon, Ji Yang tried to soothe her worries. " The women selected this year are all fine young girls, I am sure that they would be able to move the heart of the Emperor."
