Also, Queen Gu worked so hard, but she didn't receive much favor from His Majesty.
Looking at the entire harem, His Majesty's favorite woman is Concubine Yu.
More than half of the time in a month, His Majesty would come to accompany this bright and thorny rose.
His Majesty would only return to Queen Gu's Anyi Palace on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month or some important days.
Alas, in the harem, women rely on the emperor’s favor.
Our queen not only has the title of noble concubine, but also has the favor of His Majesty. She is definitely the number one person in the harem.
In the harem, even Queen Gu often had to retreat from the imperial concubine's edge.
This is the true favorite concubine. It is estimated that when it is written in history books, it will be a "love" that future generations will envy.
Gu Qingcheng: ...As expected, like master, like servant.
Favored concubine?
Still love?
Yes, I guess we’ll have to say “a preference recognized by history.”
But is this really the case?
As an ancient native who is familiar with history and is a "witness", Gu Qingcheng really wants to say -
If an emperor truly loves a woman, he should make her the empress, just like Emperor Li Er and Emperor Hongwu did, so that she can share the honor with him.
Make the son born to that woman the heir to the dynasty. If one fails, make another one.
But no matter what choice he makes, he must let his bloodline and that of the queen sit on the throne.
Instead of letting that woman be a concubine!
What is a concubine?
Even though the royal concubines seemed to be more noble, they still had to kneel and pay their respects in front of the queen.
Moreover, the queen can exercise certain rights on behalf of the emperor. At critical moments, the queen, as the mistress of the royal family, can decide the next heir.
Concubine, no matter how favored you are, it’s not possible!
This is just like some scumbag men in ancient times who talked about love but encouraged women to elope with them.
If you really love her, you must give her enough respect and marry her according to the rules with three matchmakers and six betrothals.
In ancient times, the difference between a wife and a concubine was always as great as that between heaven and earth.
Etiquette and laws seem to restrict everyone, but they can also protect some people in turn.
Can you live a free life without any hardship?
Yes, on the surface, the imperial concubine does live a more comfortable life than the queen. She doesn't have to be pretentious or endure anything, and she can also enjoy the favor of men.
But in fact, the effort and reward are proportional.
If Concubine Yu really had the chance to become queen, would she refuse?
good!
She is a person of true nature and values a man's heart more, and perhaps doesn't care about these false reputations.
However, men's hearts change too easily, and these etiquette and rules are more reliable.
One day, even if the grace is gone, there will still be status.
The queen is always his wife. As long as she doesn't commit suicide, it is not easy for the emperor to depose her without reason.
As for the imperial concubine, if she is favored, she is called the favored concubine.
Once you fall out of favor, you're no better off than a palace maid.
Gu Qingcheng would never believe that a man who made a woman his concubine really loved her.
Well, a favorite concubine!
The key word is "pet", just like cats and dogs, it's just a pastime to pass the time.
Only the queen must be given a certain respect, whether loved or not.
Gu Qingcheng is too clear-headed and doesn't believe that there is such a thing as love in the palace.
Concubine Yu and her maidservant were not as rational as she was.
"I-I'm fine!"
Hearing Shanhu's concerned question, Concubine Yu came to her senses and shook her head gently.
The nightmare was so bizarre and real that it frightened her. For a moment, she couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality.
She wanted to find something to verify it, but because of her arrogant personality, she didn't even have any definite "news".
She knew that something happened on April 8th, but she didn't know what it was.
No!
wrong!
There is one thing I know!
Concubine Yu casually responded to Shanhu's words, and then a light bulb went off in her head, and she thought of -
"April? April 1st?"
"Oh right, at the first day's grand court meeting, my second uncle, he, he——"
Second uncle Yu Heng was my father's right-hand man and an elder whom Concubine Yu was very close to and respected.
Originally, my second uncle had been leading troops in Liaodong. In the third year of Tianshou, he fought a great battle with the barbarians and was injured.
In fact, for military generals, getting injured is very common.
But Min Huang doted on Concubine Yu, and because he loved her, he was particularly kind to the Yu family.
Min Huang ordered Yu Heng to be transferred back to Beijing, firstly to recuperate and secondly to be promoted.
As the chief officer of the Ministry of War, after three to five years, if there is another war in Liaodong, he will still be able to lead the troops to fight.
...At least, that's what Min Huang said to Concubine Yu, and Concubine Yu believed it.
But in the dream, the "truth" is cruel and bloody——
Min Huang didn't love Yu Heng out of love for his family at all. He transferred Yu Heng back to Beijing because he had murderous intentions towards the Yu family!
Yu Heng is just the beginning, next——
"Shanhu! Quick! Go find someone to ask those silver cakes. I want to know what happened at today's grand court meeting!"
