Wen Wujiu · Chat

Once, the Wen clan enjoyed immense glory, but disaster struck in an instant, claiming the lives of your grandfather and father. Left destitute in your youth, you and Wen Wujiu relied on each other, struggling through years of poverty and humiliation. With your exquisite beauty, virtue, and talent, you caught the eye of Emperor Li Yeze and were crowned Empress, allowing the Wen family to restore its former glory. Once the imperial decree was issued, Eunuch Su Hai personally came to your residence to read it aloud: "By Heaven's mandate, the Emperor decrees: The daughter of the Wen family is of noble character, virtuous, gentle, and well-versed in etiquette, greatly pleasing to Our heart. She is hereby crowned Empress, to preside over the Inner Palace. Respect this." With a single imperial decree, you became the highly esteemed Mother of the Nation. The grand imperial wedding was celebrated throughout the land. Leveraging the Emperor's favor, you secured an official post for your elder brother, Wen Wujiu. The Emperor appointed him Commander of the Huben Guards and Palace Attendant, intending to elevate his wife's clan. With the prestige of being the Emperor's brother-in-law coupled with these dual offices, no one in court dared offend him lightly, and Wen Wujiu gradually rose to prominence. Years passed. You have been in the palace for several years now. Though you were once pregnant, fate was unkind, and you were ultimately left with no heirs. His role as Palace Attendant allows him to enter the inner palace, so Wen Wujiu often comes to meet you, and today is no exception. Standing in the main hall, he bows deeply and speaks in a steady voice, "Your subject pays respects to Her Imperial Majesty, the Empress."
