They whispered conspiracies, exchanged glances—every subtle gesture concealed unseen intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their daily lives were no longer mere waiting and sighing, but brimmed with calculation and planning. Those Liao beauties filled with hope began meticulously adorning themselves, striving to present their most beautiful forms in anticipation of a possible turning of fate. Some lightly touched their refined makeup before bronze mirrors, whispering endless fantasies of the future; others leaned by windows, gazing at the distant, unreachable sky, their eyes shimmering with both resolve and confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing each other’s preparations, they exchanged smiles—a silent understanding and solidarity, like a thread of warmth and refuge found in this alien land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two imperial dowager consorts left by Yelu Jun were thirteen and fourteen when they first entered the Crown Prince’s Eastern Palace; soon after, Yelu Jun was framed by the treacherous minister Yelu Yixing and others, stripped of his title, imprisoned in Shangjing, and murdered in November of the same year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Yelu Hongji awoke to the truth, rehabilitated Yelu Jun, posthumously honored him as Crown Prince Zhao Huai, and thus these two women were also cleared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yelu Yanxi ascended the throne, they became imperial dowager consorts. Their finest years had all been consumed by political struggles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, as they neared old age, they suddenly faced the possibility of a new man—and even the chance of bearing their own children. This stirred them deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—They already knew how potent Zhao Yu’s fertility was, and after analysis, they believed they genuinely had a chance to be chosen by him, even multiple times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They glanced at each other: though no longer young, they still possessed grace and charm, no less than ordinary young beauties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, while others were unaware, they knew well: one was nearly brand-new, the other entirely untouched—surely a great surprise to Zhao Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crucially, they were Yelu Yanxi’s stepmothers—this would strike Zhao Yu with powerful impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the difference between a girl, a young wife, and a mature woman: the latter knew her own strengths and understood precisely how to leverage them to seize even the slimmest chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similar in situation and mindset were Yelu Heluwa’s widow and his two late-life favorites, and the young widowed consort of the Liao Granduncle Huluwu—women who had heard tales of Zhao Yu’s prowess and longed to experience a real man, especially to bear their own children, particularly sons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were mature women, long past the shyness of girlhood, deeply versed in palace survival, and knew how to maneuver in this treacherous situation to secure their greatest advantage. They began subtly approaching Zhao Yu’s favored consorts, especially Xiao Puxiannu, attempting to use her influence to win Zhao Yu’s favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, they welcomed the storm that might alter their fates with near-desperate longing. They even took the initiative, no longer passively awaiting fate’s mercy, but weaving intricate, delicate nets with their wisdom and charm, aiming to capture the heart of the man who could grant them rebirth and hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also, as elders, subtly guided the younger Liao beauties, using gentle words and experienced counsel to persuade them to accept reality and seize the opportunity before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under this atmosphere, the Liao beauties in Chengping Hall gradually formed two factions: one faction clung to the hope of returning home, unwilling to abandon thoughts of their homeland; the other chose to stay, using wisdom and beauty to fight for their own future.\u003C\u002Fp>",1153,"2026-06-20T15:06:50.687Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b22b591aef37766357ae7fa21c0f8225959ccf9f6021ab322470b76e06d70c66","i-transmigrated-to-the-northern-song-with-them-chapter-296","i-transmigrated-to-the-northern-song-with-them-chapter-294",348,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-transmigrated-to-the-northern-song-with-them-cover.jpg"]
