Five years later.
In the prince's residence.
Qin Jingyu was practicing the boxing techniques taught by Ye Qingcheng when he saw her arrive. He quickly stopped and greeted her, "Mother, what brings you here?"
Ye Qingcheng looked at him, her face filled with reluctance.
For the past year, she has been dreaming about the modern world, and a voice in her mind has been constantly reminding her of this.
She doesn't belong here; it's time for her to go back. If she stays here any longer, she'll negatively impact the world.
At first, she thought it was because she often dreamed about the modern world that she had this psychological reaction.
But it wasn't until the last insect plague in the Southern Region that she fully believed the voice in her mind.
Because that voice had warned her several times that if she stayed here, it would cause all sorts of disasters in the world, and indeed, every time the voice said something, it came true.
She had to leave.
She had lived here for over a decade and had completely integrated into this world.
Her husband, her son, and many other people she cares about are here; she really doesn't want to leave.
"Yu'er, your fist technique has reached a level of perfection. If you combine it with your internal energy, even your father might not be your match," Ye Qingcheng praised with a smile.
Qin Jingyu smiled and said, "Mother, you flatter me. No matter what, I am still your and Father's child. I can never compare to you."
"You little rascal, you've got a sweet tongue."
"Mother, are you really not going to give me another brother or sister?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng's face darkened.
Yes! She wanted to, but for some reason, no matter what she did, she just couldn't get pregnant again.
The imperial physicians diagnosed her and found no problems with her health, but she just couldn't conceive.
"Yu'er, your mother has come to see you because there is something she wants to ask for your help with."
"Mother, what are you saying? As your son, it is my duty to share your burdens. Isn't that what you taught me?"
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "Yes! Even Mother has forgotten."
"Mother, please give me your orders, and I will do my best to fulfill them."
"Yu'er, can you help your mother persuade your father to choose another concubine?"
"Choosing concubines? Mother, isn't it good enough that there are only you in the harem? Why do we need Father to choose concubines?"
Ye Qingcheng sighed, "Yu'er, we are the royal family. From ancient times to the present, which emperor or emperor didn't have three thousand concubines in his harem?"
Even Liu Bang, who went through hardships with Empress Lü to become the ruler of the world, also had three thousand concubines in his harem. The same was true for Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty.
"My lord, the harem must not be in chaos, but there must never be a single empress, and the royal bloodline must never be broken. Do you understand?"
"Your subject does not understand. Your subject only knows that if Father Emperor takes a concubine, then the love for Mother Empress will be divided among others."
Mother, eleven years ago, you gave birth to your son alone in the cold courtyard, and almost lost your life.
"Father already wronged you then, and now you want to take concubines and wives for him? I cannot accept that."
Ye Qingcheng was deeply moved after hearing this.
She didn't give birth to this child in vain, nor did she raise him for nothing.
However, she still sighed, "Yu'er, I know you feel sorry for me, but have you ever thought about it? Your father, as the ruler of the world, if he only had me as his wife..."
What if I'm gone one day? What will happen to the harem? What will your father do?
As you know, the entire court is very dissatisfied with your father's decision not to take any more concubines.
Although they all respect me, every dynasty needs a harem to stabilize the court and ensure the empress's virtues throughout the land.
"this……"
Qin Jingyu frowned slightly after hearing this.
