"Ahem! What's so strange about this?"

The troublemaker jumped out again to make his presence felt, "Concubine Dong is not just a favorite concubine, she is also a mother."

For a normal mother, her child is her weak spot and her Achilles' heel.

She can endure humiliation for her children, or become a fierce warrior who can kill gods for her children.

"She thought that if she was sufficiently submissive and obedient, she could bring her son wealth and safety."

"In the end, her efforts were not rewarded accordingly. Her son was sent to Fengchao as a hostage, and less than two months after leaving, he had an 'accident'."

"As a mother, how can I not be angry? How can I not become darker?"

Concubine Dong was just weak, she was not stupid.

Moreover, the reason why she had been able to maintain the emperor's favor for more than ten years was not only because the emperor needed a target, but also because she had her own skills.

After all, the thing that the world lacks the least is beautiful women.

The emperor has no shortage of targets.

Even without Concubine Dong, we still have Concubine Zhang and Concubine Li!

The subsequent plots are all ready-made routines - he is deeply in love with Concubine Dong, but unfortunately Concubine Dong died young and had a tragic life. In order to ease the pain of missing her, His Majesty found a woman who was similar in appearance and temperament to Concubine Dong.

As an emperor, he can exploit people to the extreme and will not let them go even after their death!

However, the target of Concubine Dong was not abandoned and remained in the palace for more than ten years.

From this we can see that Concubine Dong is definitely not as weak, gullible, and gullible as she appears to be!

In the past, she was a way of survival.

However, it is understandable that she changed her strategy in time when she found that this method could not protect her son.

Gu Qingcheng: ...Oh wow, the little idiot has become smart.

Everyone actually knows the possibility and inevitability of "Concubine Dong turning evil."

"I am the emperor's most beloved son?"

Gu Qingcheng looked at Concubine Dong cautiously, with temptation and hope in her eyes.

Concubine Dong smiled broadly, "Of course!"

She is Emperor Qing's true love.

Because he loves her son the most, he is also the emperor's most beloved son.

Emperor Qing: ...A "beloved son" has been sent from heaven.

Emperor Qing, who was following behind Concubine Dong like a loving husband, caught up with a look of concern on his face and heard the conversation between the "mother and son".

Well, although it’s a bit awkward, it’s the damn “fact”.

He couldn't refute it at all, otherwise he would be slapping himself in the face.

Of course, Emperor Qing did not completely exploit Concubine Dong and her son.

He really likes Concubine Dong and really loves the Ninth Prince.

But this kind of feeling is far less deep than he claims.

Even so, Emperor Qing could not refute Concubine Dong's words.

On the contrary, he had to go down.

Ahem, during this period, Yuanshi discovered that she had begun to cultivate the eldest and second princes, and she had become jealous.

She had already noticed Concubine De and Concubine Xian.

Both of them were noble ladies from aristocratic families in the Qing Dynasty. After entering the palace, they did not seem to be favored.

I can only pick up the leftovers of Concubine Dong.

But their bellies were very good and they gave birth to children for the emperor one after another for twenty years.

There are more than ten princes, and the two of them took up half of them!

The oldest prince, the eldest prince and the second prince, are both eighteen years old this year.

The two brothers were less than three months apart in age, and both were mighty young men proficient in riding and shooting.

Emperor Qing also values ​​the two brothers very much and has sent them to the six ministries for training.

The Qing Dynasty had not yet appointed a crown prince, but Emperor Qing valued the eldest and second princes so much that even the women in the harem had some speculations.

Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Yuan discussed it and decided that the next emperor might not be born from Yuan's womb, but he must be raised by Yuan.

Empress Dowager Yuan repeatedly reminded Empress Yuan, "Don't always think about competing with Concubine Dong for his favor! The most important thing now is not who the Emperor favors, but the choice of the Crown Prince!"

"You can't give birth, and Yuan Zhaoyi and the others can't either, so let's adopt a young prince!"

Empress Dowager Yuan was in a very conflicted mood.

On the one hand, Emperor Qing was her son, so of course she loved him dearly and wanted her children and grandchildren to be successful, become wise and virtuous rulers, and be remembered in history.

On the other hand, she was also a princess of the Yu Dynasty, and she was responsible for the marriage and cooperation between the two dynasties.

She really hopes that the Qing Dynasty will prosper!

She really hopes that Yu Chao will become stronger!

However, Empress Dowager Yuan also knew that Qing and Yu were not only allies, but also enemies.

The world will eventually unite after being divided for a long time, and the Three Kingdoms will eventually be unified.

However, whether it was the unification of the Qing Dynasty or the unification of the Yu Dynasty, it would cause pain to Queen Dowager Yuan.

She could only hope to further deepen the ties between Qing and Yu with her own strength.

And blood ties are the most inseparable relationship in this world.

Unfortunately, the son grew up and had his own ideas, and no longer obeyed his mother.

Faced with Empress Yuan, who was also from the Yu Dynasty and was his cousin, Emperor Qing was still able to ignore her on the grounds of "domineering and extravagant".

He even created Concubine Dong, and almost turned Empress Yuan into a crazy woman who was jealous and envious.

More than ten years have passed, and none of Emperor Qing's more than ten children are from the Yuan family.

How could Empress Dowager Yuan not be anxious?

How could she, who is so smart, not see through Emperor Qing's plan?

But, after all, he is his own son.

The key point is that her son has grown up and has become independent, and she can't control him at all.

At this point, Empress Dowager Yuan no longer expected the next emperor to be a daughter of the Yuan family. She only hoped to train another little emperor with her own hands!
