The purpose of this talent show is to allow different women to give birth to children for the royal family.

Because Li Chenglan did not care about women, the ministers had to spend a lot of time persuading him to agree to re-select the girls.

Finally, there were more beautiful flowers in the harem, but Li Chenglan had no intention of appreciating them.

It was not easy for these ministers to get Li Chenglan to re-select the candidates, so they naturally did not want to make trouble by pointing fingers at Li Chenglan about whose name to pick.

So they turned their attention to Zhu Xianyue.

They secretly spread rumors that Zhu Xianyue was a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people.

She dominated Li Chenglan all day long, and there was no movement in her belly.

Then think about Zhu Xianyue’s family background—he was born in the Duke Dingguo Mansion and has a noble status.

He then diverted the blame to the east, impeaching the Duke Dingguo's Mansion for having rebellious intentions, and tried to control Li Chenglan through Zhu Xianyue.

The ministers' thoughts were wild and imaginative.

But they miscalculated a little bit——

Although Zhu Xianyue has Zhu family blood flowing in her veins, she, more than anyone else, hopes that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion will be completely defeated.

She took this opportunity to put on a show.

She took off her hairpin and knelt in front of the throne room.

Just to repent for causing trouble to Li Chenglan.

For this reason, she was willing to sever ties with the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

From then on, she was only a noble concubine in the harem, and not the legitimate daughter of Duke Dingguo.

A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Now she is first the emperor's concubine and then the daughter of Duke Dingguo.

Her behavior moved many old ministers with strong feudal ideas.

——This woman is willing to give up her wealth and background just to serve the emperor. Such a loyal and brave woman should be praised!

As a result, Zhu Xianyue not only severed her relationship with the Duke Dingguo's Mansion as she wished, but also improved her image in the ministers' minds.

It really kills two birds with one stone.

…

Dingguo Gongfu.

The air was filled with the smell of embarrassment and decay.

Duke Dingguo was extremely drunk.

He wanted to go to the brothel to have some fun, but luckily he was stopped by the mistress Wen Yingyi.

Duke Dingguo was incompetent and could do nothing, so he could only live on the favor bestowed upon him by his ancestors.

Zhu Yumeng is no longer useful.

Zhu Junmao is a fool.

The Duke Dingguo's Mansion could only look after the imperial concubine Zhu Xianyue, but now Zhu Xianyue had severed ties with them.

Damn it, I didn’t even return the dowry.

She didn't dare to ask for it in person.

She is now a royal concubine!

If they whisper a little in the emperor's ear, they will lose their heads!

Only then did Wen Yingyi realize that the entire Duke Dingguo's Mansion was being manipulated by Zhu Xianyue.

But she realized it too late.

…

The emperor has arrived in the Pepper Room.

Queen Zheng Wanyu hasn't seen Li Chenglan for a long time.

She is Li Chenglan's first wife.

But... it was the late emperor who pointed it out to Li Chenglan.

The two of them got together because of their parents' orders, and there was no passionate love between them.

Over the years, Li Chenglan has been very respectful to Zheng Wanyu.

So Zheng Wanyu also behaved herself and became her queen.

But Zhu Xianyue's arrival broke all this.

Let everyone understand that emperors also have feelings.

And his love is passionate.

Zheng Wanyu began to have trouble sleeping all night.

When she thought of Zhu Xianyue bringing joy to her when she was suffering in loneliness, she couldn't help but cry.

But she is old and ugly, and she is the legal wife. How can she stop the emperor from favoring the beauty?

If you make a fuss, it means you are jealous, one of the seven reasons for divorce.

She could only hint at it indirectly.

Let Li Chenglan favor other women.

In this way, Li Chenglan couldn't find any fault with her.

All people could say was that she was magnanimous and a model wife.

Zheng Wanyu led the palace ladies to kneel in front of Li Chenglan, asking him to put the country first and treat everyone equally.
