Chapter 119 Why is there always this kind of people around the emperor?
The system was upgraded and the distance for eating melons was changed to twenty steps. The advantage of this was that the concubines who could attend were all ranked within twenty steps.
She could eat all their melons, big and small, without any effort.
[Should we start with Concubine Shu first? What if the eldest son who gets the most favor is not the biological son? That would be very interesting.]
[Then the emperor can exchange experiences of raising sons for others with the old scumbag.]
Lu Jinchuan, who was scolded by her as an old scum, felt blood rushing to his head instantly, and all eyes in the hall fell on him almost instantly.
Even the emperor became interested and wanted to know which son the other person was.
Pei allowed others to look at her in a leisurely manner. She put aside her pride and no longer had to care about the Lu family's reputation. Her life suddenly became cheerful.
Anyway, she wasn't the one who raised someone else's son.
Lu Jinchuan almost bit off his loose old teeth. He was now just glad that Zhou Hanwen and his son had already set off!
Song Junhe, who heard what was going on, kept winking at Concubine Shu, hoping that she would receive the reminder and quickly find an excuse to leave the hall.
But they can't tell those who can't hear them that they can hear their own thoughts.
He tried several times to remind Concubine Shu to stay as far away from Lu Xinran as possible, but in the end he failed no matter what he did.
So no matter how he looked at her, Concubine Shu just looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he was trying to imply.
[Hey, this Concubine Shu doesn't fight for power in the harem, but her methods are shady. ]
[Back then, she and Concubine Hua were both pregnant, and both wanted to give birth to their first son. However, Concubine Hua's due date was earlier than hers. She was afraid that Concubine Hua would steal her limelight, so she bribed the imperial physician to poison Concubine Hua's pregnancy-preserving medicine.]
[She caused Concubine Hua to have a miscarriage when she was five months pregnant, and gave birth to a fully grown baby boy, who was actually the Emperor's eldest son.]
The concubines behind the Emperor and Empress could not hear what was going on, but the Third Prince, the son of Concubine Hua, heard all of the words.
He clenched his fists tightly and looked at Song Junhe and Concubine Shu with a murderous look.
[The imperial physician who helped Concubine Hua with her pregnancy was the father of Concubine Shu's childhood sweetheart. That childhood sweetheart had always been in love with her and would do anything against the will of heaven and earth for her.]
[Before, Concubine Chen dared to do anything in the harem. It was Concubine Shu who instigated her behind the scenes. Taking advantage of the emperor's favoritism, Concubine Chen killed all the people she disliked.]
Lu Xinran had already closed the booklet. The viciousness and cruelty of Concubine Shu made her feel cold.
[Too scary. With such a mother and such a father, how scary must the eldest prince be? ]
She glanced sympathetically in the direction of Song Junyan.
[When the eldest prince ascends the throne, he will have more than twenty, no, maybe more than thirty brothers. Will he kill all of these brothers? ]
[Even if he didn't have this intention, his mother would still help him and tell him that if you don't remove the roots, they will grow again if the wind blows! ]
Song Junhe: "..."
No, don't say that, he is not that kind of person, really not!
The emperor's cold gaze was already sweeping over like a knife, and behind him, the Concubine Shu, who knew nothing about this, was pulling at her handkerchief out of boredom.
Qi Yu lowered his head and drank. He had heard about all the secret affairs in the palace in the capital.
But this was the first time he heard all this so intuitively, and it made him feel even more distressed about the Queen's plight.
Lu Xinran sighed and then his gaze fell on the second prince.
The hairs on the back of Second Prince Song Junsheng stood up. His mother... must really be a person who does not want to compete with the world!
His three perspectives had been shattered by Concubine Shu, and now he dared not think too much.
But Lu Xinran's gaze shifted away from him in just a moment and fell on the third prince beside him.
[I want to see Concubine Hua well. She got pregnant so quickly after losing her eldest son. She must have some extraordinary skills.]
The Third Prince: “…”
No, you don’t want to see these. Otherwise, you can just take a look at your father’s private affairs.
The Emperor glanced at Concubine Shu and Concubine Hua behind him, and when he turned around, his eyes passed over the Empress again.
The Queen kept her head down and her eyes closed since she arrived at the hall, as if she didn't care much about the hustle and bustle in the hall.
He wanted to ask her whether she knew about the past, why she didn't care about what Concubine Shu did in the harem, and whether she still had the self-awareness to be the queen and mother who managed the harem.
Not far below, Zhang Yongping looked at his absent-minded daughter, then at the emperor with a bad look, and began to worry again.
Every time something went wrong in the harem, the empress was always the one to be blamed.
[I knew that Concubine Hua was not a pushover, but she was not as vicious as Concubine Shu. She was just particularly rude and didn't treat servants as human beings.]
[Whenever she was in a bad mood, she would vent her anger on the palace maids. Making someone kneel for an entire afternoon or evening was considered the lightest punishment in her palace.
[In the entire harem, the people in her palace were replaced the most, and the dry well closest to her palace also had the most corpses. ]
Lu Xinran looked at the booklet in confusion, why were there so many people like this around the emperor?
[Is this what it means when people are grouped together? Are bad people surrounded by bad people? ]
[Otherwise, if he had a bit of brains, and was not blind, he would have seen everything that was going on in the harem.]
[He actually has the nerve to dislike the Queen! ]
[He doesn't give the queen any respect at all. He doesn't take any of the concubines seriously and steps on her head. The queen only has the title. How can she control these vicious and cruel people?]
[This is no different from giving you ten cents a month to spend, and asking you to have fish and meat every day, eat well and dress warmly, and then save one or two taels of silver at the end of the year.]
Lu Xinran found that he got angry every time he ate the melons the emperor gave to his concubines.
Seeing a bunch of scumbags showing off their power, and others still acting like "I just like watching you guys dislike me but can't get rid of me", any normal person would doubt their values.
[Forget it, forget it. I'd better not watch it. Otherwise, it will be full of this kind of people, making people doubt whether there are any decent people in this capital. ]
[Besides, the emperor has a large family and great wealth, so he certainly wouldn't mind raising a few sons.]
emperor:"……"
No, he does mind.
Even if Lu Xinran doesn't care, he will have someone thoroughly check the harem starting tomorrow!
[By the way, the Emperor wants to arrange a marriage for General Qi! Let me see which girl he wants. ]
As she was about to change lanes, she opened the booklet and saw the words on it shattered into stars in the sky.
She looked up in confusion and found that the emperor had left the hall without her knowing.
So stingy!
How could it be such a coincidence?
While she was confused, her sympathetic gaze had already fallen on Qi Yu and Song Junyan.
One was not tolerated by the emperor, and the other was not tolerated by his brother.
Alas, it is true that everyone is destined to die. Either you die today or tomorrow.
Song Junyan lowered his head and drank with an expressionless face.
Qi Yu sat upright, the villain in his heart already frowning and squinting at his phone, what is this... what a mess.
