No matter how stunning Zhu Xianyue was, he wouldn't even glance at her.

"You are already the queen, the mother of the world. Don't think too much about the rest."

"If you are obedient and sensible, I will give you the dignity that a queen deserves. If not, it will be easy for me to replace you with someone else as the queen."

Zhao Peichen did not stay in the Pepper Room to spend the night with Zhu Xianyue.

He hurried to Fengyi Palace where Shen Manman lived.

Fengyi Palace - Giving the word "Feng" that only the queen can use to Chen Manman clearly tells the world that in Zhao Peichen's mind, Chen Manman is the first choice for the queen.

In the entire Yong Dynasty, only Shen Manman dared to stop Zhao Peichen outside the palace.

Zhao Peichen knocked on the door for a long time and his voice became hoarse.

In the end, he even wanted to kneel down to Shen Manman, but fortunately he was stopped by the eunuchs.

At this time, it started to rain heavily.

After a burst of thunder, Shen Manman ran out of Fengyi Palace in thin clothes and threw herself into Zhao Peichen's arms.

"Zhao Peichen, this bastard!"

Zhao Peichen blocked Shen Manman's next words with his lips, and the two kissed passionately in the rain.

No one dared to step forward to stop it.

Finally, Zhao Peichen carried the wet Shen Manman into Fengyi Palace.

He assured her that Zhu Xianyue was just a decoration and he would never touch her.

He also ordered people to decorate Fengyi Palace to look like a wedding night, and to treat tonight as his and Shen Manman's wedding night.

Only then was Shen Manman coaxed into submission.

There is a sound of rain falling on the banana leaves.

There was a sense of loneliness in the Pepper Room.

Zhu Xianyue's maidservant who came with her as a dowry could no longer hold back her tears.

"How could Your Majesty be so excessive? Leaving the Empress here on her wedding night is outrageous!"

Another maid reminded her, "Stop talking! Aren't you just making Her Majesty feel upset?"

Zhu Xianyue walked out from the inner hall.

It was obvious that she heard everything that was said just now.

The palace maid who was gossiping quickly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me... I spoke without restraint and frightened Your Majesty. It is my fault..."

"Get up."

Zhu Xianyue helped her up personally.

Although this palace maid was a little reckless, she was genuinely thinking about her.

"You'll know what it's like when you marry me. As long as you behave yourself and don't gossip outside, I will do my best to protect you as long as I'm here."

The palace maids in the Pepper Room all knelt on the ground.

Although Shen Manman from Fengyi Palace was also a palace maid, I have never seen anyone so considerate of me.

…

It's dawn.

The lonely Zhu Xianyue slept very comfortably.

At the morning court today, Zhao Peichen was scolded by the censors.

He disregarded the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, favored his concubine and killed his wife, not knowing that trouble would come from within the family. If this continues, the Yong Dynasty will surely be in chaos!

But Zhao Peichen didn't care.

"I have already made the greatest concession!"

"If you want to see the Yong Dynasty left without a successor, then continue to curse me!"

After the words were spoken, the censors fell silent.

The late emperor had only two sons.

One is Zhao Peichen, and the other is Zhao Peichen’s half-brother, Zhao Yufeng.

Whether it is state governance or leading troops in battle, Zhao Yufeng is hundreds of times better than Zhao Peichen.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yufeng was diagnosed with a childlessness disease.

In desperation, he could only withdraw from the fight for the throne.

Zhao Peichen became emperor easily.

If a dynasty wants to continue, it must first have offspring.

The censors took a step back.

But Zhao Peichen should also step back.

He needs these ministers to assist him.

So... Zhao Peichen agreed to take in a few more concubines.
