Song Heng thought back to that time, and it was here that he peeled a green tangerine for Chen Shuang; it was also here that his mother interfered with the affairs of his harem for the first time.
"Back then, the late emperor was so powerful and arbitrary! But I am of lowly status, and in the end, I still have to rely on you to become the crown prince to protect me!"
Yes, although the late emperor doted on my mother, her family was not as good as that of other concubines. In order to protect my mother, I could only rely on my son to make her noble.
