The sixth prince ascended the throne and was called Emperor Ze.
The first thing he did after ascending to the throne was to send all the late emperor's concubines out of the harem. Those with sons were sent to their fiefdoms with their sons. For those without sons or heirs, sorry, I'll build a palace next to the imperial mausoleum, and you can all live there. He called it keeping vigil for the late emperor.
This wasn't what Yan Miaoling meant. She was also curious. Emperor Ze was sickly and had a gentle personality, so he didn't seem like someone who would be so decisive and ruthless. After asking, she found out, "Sister, it was actually your idea~"
She looked at him obscenely, and made a dirty move on Shen Aoshan, who had never left the palace. "She is indeed the heroine, she has an aura!"
Shen Aoshan was pregnant for over eight months. Because she was too lazy to move and Yan Miaoling was too busy, the two sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time. Now that things had settled down a bit, Yan Miaoling finally found time to come back and visit her.
Of course, it was also to protect her.
The other concubines were sent away, and their treatment was much worse than before. It was inevitable that some of them would go crazy and do extreme things. How could she not be by her side at this time?
Shen Aoshan smiled and joked, "Don't make a move when you meet. You're bullying me because I don't dare to hit you now, right..." Her martial arts skills are good, but she hasn't used them for a long time because she is concerned about her children.
The two chatted and laughed, and finally Shen Aoshan concluded, "The women in the harem are also a force that cannot be underestimated. Look at the third prince and the seventh prince, which one of them did not rebel because of the instigation of the women in the harem. Zhejun has just succeeded to the throne and is still unfamiliar with all government affairs. It is also a time of external and internal troubles. I don't want him to worry about the affairs of the harem anymore." Zhejun is Shen Aoshan's nickname for the sixth prince Xuanyuan Zhe.
This made Yan Miaoling laugh heartily, "Haha, I haven't even married you yet, and you're already thinking so much about me, my sister."
Suddenly, someone outside the door corrected him, "Ling'er, the news is out of date. Who said your brother-in-law doesn't want to marry Shan'er? I will announce it at the court tomorrow morning. I already have a favorite woman outside. I have prayed to heaven and earth in the presence of Yue Lao. This woman is gentle and virtuous, and has both virtue and talent. She is truly a role model for women all over the world, so she will be crowned queen..."
The two sisters looked back.
It turned out to be the Sixth Prince Zedi, dressed in bright yellow.
Yan Miaoling sincerely wanted him to be emperor, so naturally he didn't want to neglect him. He stood up straight with his hands down to salute, but was helped up by Emperor Ze. "Ling'er, there's no need for all this red tape. Let's just keep it the same as before."
After sending the servants away, Emperor Ze's eyes revealed true emotion. "Shan'er and I know exactly how we got the throne, and we will remember your kindness forever. Therefore, from now on, when there are no outsiders around, we will follow the common people's example and call each other brother-in-law and sister. No need for formalities."
Such words and thoughts are very consistent with Zedi's personality. Yan Miaoling was not surprised at all. After bowing playfully, she smiled and agreed, "Okay, brother-in-law~"
The two of them didn't feel anything, but Chen Aoshan was overcome with grief. Especially the words "remember this for a lifetime." What was she talking about a lifetime? The person in front of her only had less than three years left to live.
If she thought about the future, she wanted to cry again.
I didn't want the two people in front of me to notice, so I had to control my emotions in time.
But even if she didn't show it, how could the other two not see it?
Yan Miaoling quickly comforted her, "Sister, I'll go find Nanjia in a while to see if he can get the Chishan Ice Lotus."
The three of them were all aware of Nanjia's origins, and naturally placed their hopes on him. However, even the most omniscient imperial master could not guarantee success.
After Emperor Ze ascended the throne, he still appointed Nanga as the Imperial Preceptor, and declared to his courtiers and the world that the Imperial Preceptor had originally been summoned by Heaven for his meritorious deeds, and had passed away to become a supreme deity. However, he was concerned about the common people and all living beings, so he sought the grace of the Heavenly Emperor and was allowed to return to the human world. This was a blessing for Dazhao.
Anyway, Nanga has been hyped up so much that it is unlikely to be realized in the short term, and people don’t even dare to mention returning to secular life.
The atmosphere between the three of them suddenly became tense, simply because this hope was slim.
To ease the situation, Emperor Ze took the initiative to confess his life story, "Ling'er, a group of mysterious people contacted me recently. They claimed to be from the Baihua Palace. They said..."
Yan Miaoling's eyes flashed with gossip, and she thought it was some kind of romantic news. After all, it was Baihua Palace, and the name was full of feminine flavor.
Who would have thought that Zedi would laugh, "Can't you think of something good for me? If you say that, some jealous person will start crying again..."
After saying this, Shen Aoshan rolled her eyes and dodged the grapes that Zedi was peeling for her. "You're making me sound like a jealous woman. Are you regretting your promise to me that we'll be together forever? Anyway, there's still time. Why not cancel tomorrow's coronation ceremony..."
After saying that, he turned away from people and picked his nails for fun...
Zedi hurried to coax her, and the sweet affection between the two of them made Yan Miaoling overwhelmed. She was also happy for Chen Aoshan from the bottom of her heart. Seeing the child was about to be born, when the family of three would be happy together, it was truly a blessing in the world.
This means that she must work hard to help Emperor Ze get the Chishan Ice Lotus.
She couldn't bear to see the ending of such a perfect couple.
In order to take care of her emotions, Shen Aoshan immediately shook off Zedi and said, "You haven't finished speaking yet, quickly explain it to Ling'er..."
Emperor Ze then realized he had lost his composure. He immediately turned around, smiled apologetically, and without any imperial airs, sat down and poured tea for Yan Miaoling. "What I meant to say is that I am most likely not the son of the late emperor, nor a child of the Xuanyuan family, but the son of the Baihua Palace Master."
Then he quietly told his life story...
It turns out that Emperor Ze's biological mother was actually a prostitute. The young and energetic Emperor Da Zhao encountered her while out for fun and fell in love with her at first sight. He then favored her for a while. Unexpectedly, the woman became pregnant.
However, the royal family could not accept a prostitute as a concubine, so they had to kill the mother and keep the son. They also lied to the Sixth Prince, saying that his mother had died early. In fact, she was strangled to death.
Look, how pitiful Zedi’s life experience is.
