Xuande Hall.
Ye An felt that the dragon robe was too heavy. After falling, he was almost suffocated. If he really became the emperor who was crushed to death by the dragon robe, he would be laughed at by others. With the help of Li Yao, he took off his dragon robe and picked out a light gold one from a pile of casual clothes. Li Yao felt emotional that the emperor had forgotten the old things and even his preferences had changed. But he was just a servant and should not give orders to his master. Li Yao put away the other clothes and didn't say anything more.
Ye An had just traveled through time and was not familiar with ancient clothes. He was still trying to figure out how to dress. Li Yao was used to serving him, and she quickly dressed him up again. During this time, Ye An kept holding the golden beads, constantly wondering which male concubine had done it.
There was a circle of fine lines on the gold bead, with a unique pattern. Ye An naturally had no impression of it. After thinking for a while, he handed the gold bead over: "Li Yao, what is this? Have you seen it?"
Li Yao took it and looked at it, his expression changed slightly: "Your Majesty, although this old servant has never seen this thing, the pattern on it looks like the family crest of Grand Tutor Yang's family."
Nowadays, all noble families have family crests. Young Ye An can understand that, but what about the Grand Tutor? ? ?
He had just entered the Wei Dynasty and had no memory of his original self. He was completely in the dark about both the court and the harem.
Seeing that Ye An's face was about to wrinkle, Li Yao considerately explained to him that the Grand Tutor, Grand Preceptor and Grand Protector were the Three Dukes of the Wei Dynasty, with the Grand Tutor as the first among the Three Dukes, and they were among the most powerful officials in the court. Even the emperor had to show courtesy to them.
Ye An soon made a new discovery: "The Grand Master's surname is Yang, and the Concubine's surname is also Yang!"
Li Yao smiled approvingly: "Concubine Yang Shu is the legitimate son of the Grand Tutor."
Ye An, whose parents were ordinary people in his previous life, felt a little jealous. With such a high official position, it was no wonder that the enchanting concubine mentioned his father. Is Jinzhu the enchanting concubine?
Li Yao then said, "And Concubine Qiao is the son of Grand Secretary Qiao."
Ye An: “…”
No wonder these two dared to be jealous of each other in front of him. He didn't have a good face to them just now. Could it be that he offended two of the three officials in just a short moment?
"What about the Grand Tutor's son?" Ye An decided to go for broke.
Li Yao said: "The son of Grand Tutor Mu is only fifteen years old. He was originally scheduled to enter the palace during the selection this year."
Enter, enter the palace, and participate in the selection? ?
Ye An was ashamed. People in ancient times did get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, but fifteen was really too young in his opinion. Having a bunch of ex-boyfriends in the palace was troublesome enough, and he didn't want a bunch of current boyfriends to join in the fun.
Ye An said: "Can I not have it?"
"Your Majesty," Li Yao said in embarrassment, "This is an old rule. The sons of the three dukes must enter the palace to serve. Now the sons of the Grand Tutor and the Grand Protector have entered the palace, but you only don't want the son of the Grand Tutor. Isn't that a bit... Besides, the Queen Mother has even decided on the position for Master Mu."
There are too many twists and turns in the palace, and this situation really cannot be avoided, Ye An thought dejectedly, why not follow the Queen Mother first and he won't see her.
Oh, by the way, it turns out there is a queen mother above him.
"Who is the Queen Mother?"
Ye An was embarrassed to say that he had even forgotten his parents.
Li Yao was not surprised. After all, the emperor was so sick that he couldn't even remember himself. Li Yao reminded him gently, "You should call me father. The queen mother was born in the Yuan family of the prime minister's mansion. She was the concubine of the late emperor, who was the emperor's biological father."
Ye An: “…”
Ye An felt as if a thunderbolt had fallen from the sky. He was so resistant to having children, but it turned out that the body he traveled through was also born by a man!
According to the logic of this world, this is indeed the case. Since the emperor is responsible for giving birth to heirs, the original body, as the successor of the previous emperor, was of course born by the previous emperor.
Ye An wanted to ask the empress dowager again, but a eunuch came to report that the empress dowager was worried about the emperor's health and came to visit him personally from Changle Palace.
Ye An suddenly became nervous as he was about to meet his original body's parents.
In a short while, a tall man in royal blue clothes walked into the main hall. He was a graceful man in his thirties whose charm and temperament had reached the peak. He had long black hair and eyebrows, and time had not left a single trace on his face. Among the several male concubines Ye An had seen, Concubine Yang Shu was the most beautiful, but she pales in comparison with the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was truly stunning and charming.
The Queen Mother stood about ten feet away from Ye An, her eyes as sharp as torches, fixed on Ye An's face. Because they are father and son, the empress dowager's eyebrows and Ye An have some similarities, and when Ye An looks at the empress dowager, he also feels a sense of closeness in his heart. This is probably the blood relationship.
After a brief silence, the Queen Mother called out, "An'er."
"Father, Queen."
This strange name almost made Ye An lose his tongue.
The Queen Mother was helped to sit down by the eunuchs. She looked at her son who seemed to be fine but was actually in a completely bad state. She thought of the words of the imperial physician, sighed heavily, and said, "An'er, are you still angry with me?"
Ye An: “…”
Ye An shook his head. He didn't remember anything, so how could he be angry? He probably thought that there was some conflict between his original self and the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother said, "Even if you are still angry, I will not agree to you posthumously conferring the title of Empress to Su Qinghuai. He is only the son of a second-rank official. He entered the palace to become your Imperial Consort. You also married your elder sister to the Su family. You have done your best to treat him and the Su family. If you insist on making him Empress, how can you appease the three ministers? It is enough to confer the title of Imperial Consort to him."
Ye An: “…”
The young man Ye An blinked his eyes. He guessed that Su Qinghuai should be the deceased Imperial Noble Consort Su. The original owner was very kind to Su Qinghuai and wanted to posthumously confer the title of empress on her, but the empress dowager disagreed, which led to the conflict.
…What a messed up family drama. Ye An didn't feel too much, he just felt it was a bit bloody. When elders and their wives don't get along, it's usually the man's fault. Original body, this is where you are wrong.
Li Yao said on behalf of Ye An: "Empress Dowager, the Emperor no longer remembers the Imperial Noble Consort."
The Queen Mother sneered, "You don't remember? Very good. I don't want you to always be resentful of me because of him."
The empress dowager had a pair of hands with distinct joints. Although she did not look old, one could tell something from her hands. Ye An noticed that this hand trembled slightly when she spoke, which indicated that the empress dowager was very excited.
Ye An sighed inwardly. He also had biological parents. He had quarreled with his parents in a fit of rage and said many hurtful words. At that time, he was only concerned with venting his emotions and did not care about his parents' feelings. Even when he was seriously ill, his parents still stayed by his side without taking off their clothes.
It is pitiful to see the love of parents in the world. Ye An thought, since his original body’s lover was gone, he could not afford to lose his father again. He might as well apologize on his behalf. It is not shameful to surrender to his parents. The Queen Mother’s willingness to come to visit means that she is seeking peace.
Ye Anzi said pitifully, "Father, I'm sorry. I don't remember what happened before. I won't make you angry again."
"An'er?!"
The empress dowager looked at her son in disbelief. The imperial physician said that the emperor had lost his memory, but he felt that not only his memory had changed, but even his temperament had changed. From being stubborn and depressed, he became... well-behaved and careful, a bit like when he had done something wrong when he was young. She apologized to him with a wheezing voice, and the look she gave him was filled with shame and admiration.
The Queen Mother was very pleased with this change, and laughed excitedly, "I knew it, you are my biological son, you will not always be biased towards Su Qinghuai..."
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Ye An took the opportunity to say, "Father, he has passed away. Please stop talking about him."
"Okay...I'll listen to you. I won't mention it anymore."
The Queen Mother and Concubine Su had a deep grudge against each other and hoped that their son would not remember it. It couldn’t be better now that the emperor himself doesn’t want to mention it.
"Since you are willing to make peace with me, I can assure you that I did not do anything to kill him. I know you care about him and would not do such a stupid thing. If you have any doubts, go ahead and check it out."
The Queen Mother really came to seek peace and told Ye An a lot of truth frankly. Ye An also understood that he must have been suspicious of the Queen Mother because of Concubine Su's death, which made the Queen Mother unhappy. Now that he has reconciled with the Queen Mother, he should have a better attitude and take the opportunity to form a team with her. He doesn't know much about the palace, but the Queen Mother knows everything about it and can definitely help a lot. Take the little golden bead for example. The young Ye An couldn't figure out why Concubine Yang wanted to frame Concubine Qiao. Even if he figured it out, he didn't know how to deal with it as an emperor. It would be better for him to be humble and ask the Queen Mother for instructions. Considering the relationship with the original body, the Queen Mother will definitely handle it properly.
Ye An took out the golden beads and told the whole story of his encounter with the three male concubines.
The Queen Mother saw the gold bead with her own eyes, understood what was going on and was furious: "Shu Fei is so bold that she dared to frame other concubines. Li Yao, send this bead to the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Pass on my decree that Shu Fei will be demoted to a concubine and will not be allowed to sleep with me for three months."
Ye An's eyes lit up. It was so easy to kill one. It seemed that he could learn something from him!
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother said excitedly in the next sentence: "Since Concubine Shu has been demoted, the positions of Concubine Gui, Concubine Shu, Concubine De, and Concubine Xian are all vacant. An'er, why don't you consider bringing Yongchang into the palace?"
...Wait, who is this Yong Chang? !
Ye An glared at Li Yao, who came over and whispered in his ear, "Young Master Yuan Yongchang is the nephew of the Queen Mother, your cousin. He is ten years old this year and has not yet entered the palace... He is also the Queen Mother's favorite candidate for the Queen."
Ye An was about to spit out a mouthful of blood. It was bad enough that the male concubines always wanted to fuck him, but how could they even want to fuck a ten-year-old boy? Queen Mother, you are committing a crime! !
Ye An didn't dare to tell the Queen Mother directly that he didn't want to have a prince heir. Maybe the Queen Mother would order a hundred handsome men for him in a rage. He was a law-abiding man and couldn't involve a child. The young Ye An suddenly had an idea and said, "Father, Yongchang is too young and lively. He may not like staying in the palace. Let's wait until he grows up."
The emperor rarely thought of Yongchang and even discussed things with him. The empress dowager was very satisfied and said, "Although he is a little young, you can bring him into the palace first and wait until he is fifteen to get married."
Marrying a child? Don’t do that! Ye An's face was filled with tears: "Father, you have also seen that there is no peace in the palace. What if someone wants to harm Yongchang? How can he, a child, hide from him?"
The empress dowager couldn't help but think of the two concubines Qiao and Yang who were already in the palace. They were the sons of the three dukes and would definitely regard Yongchang as a thorn in their eyes. It would be difficult to deal with them indeed. The Queen Mother was still thinking about making her nephew the Queen in the future, and she certainly couldn't ignore Yongchang's safety, so she could only say, "Then let's wait a few years before we decide."
Ye An finally escaped, and the Queen Mother said again: "Concubine Yang framed Concubine Qiao, you should also appease Concubine Qiao, why not turn over his card tonight."
Ye An: “…”
It’s good to be able to join the group with the Queen Mother, but isn’t the Queen Mother too nosy? Does she have to take charge of the emperor’s sleeping quarters as well?
Thinking of Concubine Qiao who was like a firecracker, the young Ye An felt that he was going to explode again.
