Remind me again what's that book all about. I'm guessing it's a smut book but why do they have to ban it?

IIRC it's yuri smut, and it's not banned, the empress (in her secret identity as the author) is withdrawing it. I'm not sure why, maybe because she put too much court politics in it?

Little Empress is on a bit of a power trip right now, it seems.

She did, which is what Tantai Lan and the Emperor indirectly recommended withdrawing it to her. I think they both know that she is the author but keep it ambiguous to let her save face.

lol the mother smiling next to the emperor's corpse

It taking time to them reconciliated

So this means Qi Nian has at least 7 older (half-)brothers, huh? I wonder if they will become relevant, and how (not if) her mother's meddling hands were involved to get her chosen in the first place.

has at least 7 older (half-)brothers, huh?

a) where did you get '7' from?

b) did you miss the line about "all the other princes perished"?

a) She is declared the emperor's eight son

b) Yes. And how awfully convenient; let's hope the empress dowager didn't dispose of all the evidence.

Adorable. ^_^

Must have been quite the book... And now our princess is off to study. :D

Oh, look at Ming Wei's eye bags. That book kept her up all night. :D

Looks like they were both kept up all night studying the book that will make them extra gay. Good on them, good on them.
Thanks for the chapter!

I mean, self-cultivation through education is, like, the traditional Confucian virtue, so they are both just being virtuous ladies, staying up all night reading the classics.

Does old chinese literature had Yuri? Anyone here know?

I actually burst out laughing when I saw that last panel. :D

Huh, I somehow thought the empress a yuri author.

Empress: "Gay?"

Princess: "Gay"

Finally the reveal!

And it only took 40 chapters. Practically a record for a GL story

so i can finally read the story from chapter 41! yay!
because the MC being in a “straight relationship” was not my cup of tea, i mean even sleeping together made the MC still think she is with a man 0.0

Fluffy best wingcat.

Also, Ming Wei is so pure. Tantai Lan has been targetedly seducing her for 45 chapters, and she is still afraid of being rejected...

Somehow with how head over heels Ming Wei is (and how straightforward Tantai Lan), I have a good feeling it won't take that long for them to end up together.

Farmer's Wife Empress was so cute with her chicken in tow.

Good girl. Thought things through, and made her decision. ^_^

Looking forward to the other couple making progress soon too.

Pure, or useless lesbian?

Same thing, in this case -- that is, a bad case of purity-induced uselenessness.
