During the Qiu Lie period, there are many things to keep busy with. The Empress gambles that the Emperor will not pay attention to Attendant Lady Xi, and bets that he will not undermine her authority at this time—she still has to represent the Yan Chi Royal Family and build relations with the Kesha women, and not a single meal is eaten without purpose. Occasionally, she even has to have conversations on horseback to show her benevolence.
After keeping Yun Jiao behind, the Empress also did not have the time to keep an eye on her.
