Even if she knew Duanmu Yiyi had feelings for Longze Jingtian, Duanmu Qing would never allow Duanmu Yiyi to marry Longze Jingtian.
Initially, He Xin'er had given birth to the Crown Prince before her, which had always been a thorn in her side. Although He Xin'er had died, Longze Jingtian had deeply won the favor of the Empress Dowager, and her favor had even influenced the Emperor's preference, all of which was very difficult for Duanmu Qing to accept.
Moreover, the Emperor was in his prime years, and she was only 32 years old with a chance to get pregnant. As long as the Emperor did not establish a Crown Prince, she must seize that chance! Even if the Emperor was concerned, the throne should belong to her child! She was the rightful Empress!
As Duanmu Qing's maiden family, the Duanmu Family should support her wholeheartedly, and the marriages of both Duanmu Hongchen and Duanmu Yiyi should be valuable.
