Yunxian Palace.

"Cai Ju, where is His Majesty? Why doesn't His Majesty come to see me?" Concubine Li asked somewhat dissatisfiedly after eating the confinement meal brought by the palace servants.

How long has it been since she last saw His Majesty?

When she gave birth before, the palace maids all advised her not to visit the emperor too often, as it was not good for the baby in her belly and could easily cause accidents.

But now she has given birth to a child, why is she not allowed to see His Majesty?

"Cai Ju, go and see why His Majesty hasn't come to see me yet." Concubine Li said arrogantly.

"Your Majesty, you are still in confinement after giving birth." Caiju looked at Concubine Li's arrogant look and quickly explained to her.

"Don't try to fool me. When Concubine De gave birth, His Majesty also went to Yong'an Palace to see her." Concubine Li said unhappily.

His Majesty went to Yong'an Palace to see Concubine De a few days after she gave birth. Why didn't His Majesty come to see her when she gave birth this time?

"Also, when I first entered the palace, Lu Zhaoyuan had just given birth, and Your Majesty went to see her, didn't he?"

Caiju: "...Your Majesty, His Majesty went to see the little prince."

"Ladies are not allowed to see the emperor during their confinement period."

When the emperor came over, the concubines who were in confinement had to talk to him through a screen, so that he would not see how miserable and haggard they looked during their confinement.

Caiju looked at Concubine Li who still maintained her arrogant expression, lowered her head and smiled bitterly.

Why did she follow such a master?

"Hurry up, Caiju, and ask His Majesty to come and see me." Concubine Li smashed the cup in her hand to the ground and said, "Your Majesty stopped coming to see me after I gave birth. Do you want to see me fall from grace?"

In fact, what Concubine Li was most dissatisfied with was her own daughter, who was taken away by His Majesty to be raised personally. How could she use her daughter as an excuse to invite His Majesty frequently?

You have to know that in the past two years, she has been intercepted by other concubines with children in the palace many times using children as an excuse to get the emperor. She has long been looking forward to having children of her own so that she can intercept the emperor from others.

The princes and princesses of the Great Zhou lived with their biological mothers until they were twelve years old, which made it easier for concubines with children to use the princes and princesses as an excuse to seize the emperor.

Now that the child is being raised by His Majesty, Concubine Li can no longer use this as an excuse to invite His Majesty over frequently, and she is very dissatisfied.

"Useless trash, not only is he not a prince, but he can't even let me see His Majesty often." Concubine Li said unhappily.

Caiju: “…”

"Your Majesty, there are actually many benefits to having the little princess raised personally by His Majesty." The head palace maid hurriedly comforted her master.

"After all, you are the little princess's biological mother. If you miss the little princess, can't you go to His Majesty and ask him to let you see the little princess?"

"Wouldn't it be possible for you to see His Majesty more often?"

Upon hearing the head maid's words, Concubine Li's eyes lit up. She looked at her with appreciation and said, "You are right. Take it as a reward."

Then she looked at Caiju and said, "Why don't you go and tell His Majesty that I want to meet my daughter?"

"Cui Ju, come here and tell me what's wrong with me. Please dress me up quickly because I want to see His Majesty." Concubine Li said nervously.

She was really disappointed to give birth to a little princess, so she had to rush to win favor and try to conceive a little prince after the confinement period.

With a prince, she can find a way to compete for the position of queen.

Concubine Li has a determined gaze and works hard for her dream.

…

"Oh? Concubine Li finally remembered that she has a daughter?" Zhou Yunhuang said this when he heard a palace maid from Yunxian Palace coming to deliver a message.

It is now the fifth day since his daughter Wushuang was born. Many things have been settled, but Concubine Li finally remembered that she has a daughter?

Yes, Wushuang was five days old, but she did not hold a third-day baptism banquet.

Wushuang refused to hold a third-day baptism banquet in her heart countless times. Even though she was a newborn baby, she didn't want others to see her naked.

So Zhou Yunhuang satisfied her and decided not to hold the third-day bathing ceremony, but to wait until her full month.

However, Zhou Yunhuang did not expect that Concubine Li, the biological mother, only remembered that she had a daughter on the fifth day after the child was born.

He remembered that Concubine Li woke up after being in a coma for two days after giving birth. It has been two or three days since she woke up, and it was only at this time that she remembered that she had given birth to a daughter.

Of course, Zhou Yunhuang didn’t have very high requirements for Concubine Li. Originally, he doted on her just because she was pretty.

[My mother wants to see me? ]

At this time, Wushuang's inner voice also emerged, and Zhou Yunhuang could hear that her tone was full of doubt and distrust.

It seems that little Wushuang also knows that her mother doesn't love her that much.

Zhou Yunhuang did not have the idea that all parents would love their children deeply. He was not naive enough to think that all mothers loved their children without reservation.

Having grown up in the harem, he knew very well that when women competed for favor, they often used children as tools.

maternal love?

Maybe some people do have it, but sometimes it is not as good as climbing up and the glory of the family behind them.

Therefore, Zhou Yunhuang would not be so naive as to think that mothers would not hurt their children, nor would he believe that all mothers love their children unconditionally.

Just like the harem often uses children to steal favors, as long as he is sure that the child is not unwell on his own, but is caused by artificial means, he will severely punish anyone who does that to his child.

[My mother doesn't want to see me, she wants to see my father, right?]

How can I describe my mother? To sum it up in one sentence, "Concubine Li is stunningly beautiful, but incredibly stupid."
