One was intentional and the other was unintentional. With the secret operation of the two people showing their magical powers, the young Lu successfully took the throne, and the other Lu girl of marriageable age married a famous young talent in the capital as she wished.
The other party was of a lower social status than her. Although he was talented, he had a gentle personality. His parents were not the kind of people who were difficult to get along with. In addition, she had the support of the Lu family and the aunt, the empress dowager, and the queen's sisters in the palace, so she lived a very comfortable life after marriage.
Xiao Lu, who successfully ascended to the throne, was in a completely different situation from her sister. In the first year or so after she entered the palace, she was the favorite in the imperial concubine's room but she was never able to get pregnant. Under pressure from the previous dynasty, Da Lu had to step in personally and order her to find a few more women for the emperor.
Of course, little Lu was unwilling. In her opinion, as the legitimate daughter of the Lu family, she had to lower herself to marry a little-known prince who was now a second-hand emperor. It was already aggrieved and wronged enough. Now her aunt actually wanted her to give this man who was not worthy of her to another woman. It would be strange if she could be happy.
However, Xiao Lu was unwilling, and no one in the Lu family was willing to help her. All the people she could ask for help told her to put the overall situation first.
The royal bloodline is of great importance. The emperor cannot be without his own heirs to inherit the throne, otherwise the throne will easily be unstable.
Even if she couldn't give birth, no one could shake her position as queen, and she could kill those women who helped the emperor conceive children after they gave birth.
No one cared about the grievances suffered by little Lu. They only cared about what the nobles, court officials, royal relatives and common people would say about the Lu family and the Lu girls. They would not allow little Lu to influence the Lu family and other Lu girls because of her "unvirtuousness and lack of generosity".
Isolated and helpless, and threatened by the Queen Mother that "if you insist on being willful, then someone else will be the Queen", Xiao Lu finally chose to compromise. However, what made her so depressed that she almost vomited three liters of blood was that the two palace maids she casually pointed at in her anger actually became pregnant soon and gave birth to a son and a daughter for the emperor.
Daughters were useless to her, so she found a remote room in the palace and let the mother and daughter fend for themselves. The maid who gave birth to a son died directly in the delivery room.
The public statement was that she died of postpartum hemorrhage, but in fact she was killed by Xiao Lu.
Xiao Lu took the opportunity to adopt the son born by the other party, but because she disliked him in her heart, she did not directly register him as her own legitimate son.
She left the child to the maids and the palace maids she had brought into the palace, asking them to help raise the child. Her only request to them was, "Just don't die."
Thanks to her, the two children the emperor was forced to create lived a life similar to that of the emperor when he was a prince.
Although the emperor did not dare to show attention and closeness to them, when he occasionally saw them at a palace banquet, he would always secretly look at his two children.
Even with just a few brief glances, the emperor could tell what kind of life these two children usually led.
He wanted to help, but in a harem filled with Lu's female spies, his help would probably be like deadly poison to the two children.
In order to allow them and Xiao Yuanjin to live longer, the emperor had to harden his heart and pretend that he didn't care about the two children.
But even so, Mrs. Lu, who has not been able to conceive for so many years, still thinks that these two children are an eyesore.
Like today, when she took out her anger on the Second Prince too much, she ended up having to hurriedly ask the elder Lu for help in cleaning up the mess. The younger Lu had done this at least ten times.
Big Mrs. Lu scolded and punished, but Little Mrs. Lu always regretted the brief moment when she was unable to clean up the mess.
As long as she came from her own palace to Da Lu's place and smoothly handed over all these troubles to Da Lu, she would immediately forget her previous regrets and fears.
Da Lu was already fed up with Xiao Lu because of her refusal to change her ways. Now she chose the special day when Yu Zizhen, the prince of a vassal state, entered the palace to cause trouble. It was even more impossible for Da Lu to have a good face towards her.
She was extremely angry, but she had no choice but to help Xiao Lu clean up the mess again.
But little Lu didn't think her behavior was inappropriate at all. She had a mysterious confidence in her ability to control the harem, and believed that no matter what she did in her own little piece of land, no one outside would know.
Especially since Yu Zizhen is so young, what does such a tiny kid know?
Besides, she is the queen. If she is angry, does she have to hold it in until today and wait until Yu Zizhen leaves the palace?
Little Mrs. Lu argued so confidently that she retorted to Big Mrs. Lu that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
This also led to the situation that when Yu Zizhen finally arrived at Ci'an Palace, Da Lu, who was exhausted, angry and resentful, and had been awakened with great difficulty by a trusted imperial physician with silver needles, had completely lost the will and energy to complete her plan.
She reluctantly asked Yu Zizhen a few questions to show her concern, then gave her some rewards and let her go back home to rest.
Little Lu, who had made Big Lu faint with anger, was feeling guilty at the moment. She was afraid that Big Lu would take revenge on her later, so she not only diligently waited outside Big Lu's bedroom, shamelessly expressing her filial piety and indirectly surrendering, but also, when Big Lu was trying to force herself to reward Yu Zizhen, she also joined in the fun and casually instructed her maid to pick out some things for her to reward Yu Zizhen.
Although Yu Zizhen didn't expect to see Little Lu here with Big Lu, she could definitely feel the slightly weird atmosphere between the two.
After coming out of the Empress Dowager Ci'an Palace, she called the system immediately.
Since its appearance, the system has been conducting comprehensive monitoring of the environment around her to ensure that she can obtain all information related to the mission in a timely manner. Thanks to it, although Yu Zizhen does not have clairvoyance and super hearing, she can always easily learn some of other people's little secrets.
For example, at this moment, she saw the root cause of the conflict between the elder Lu family and the younger Lu family from the systematic retelling.
Actually, this matter is very simple. It's just that Xiao Lu, who has never been able to conceive a child, attacked the second prince who was raised in her palace because she was angry.
The second prince is only four years old this year. Because he has been secretly and harshly abused by the queen and her palace maids and eunuchs since he was a child, the second prince has been forced to develop a timid and submissive character at a young age.
He was careful not to anger anyone, but how could those who would attack a little kid or even a baby let him go just because the Second Prince was cautious enough?
