Empress Yuan was no longer the headstrong young girl she had been when she first married into the Yu Dynasty.
After twenty years of suffering in the harem, her heart had long since died.
The reason why she still had a problem with Concubine Dong was because she still had a little bit of reluctance and she also wanted to maintain her dignity as the queen.
Yes, Queen Yuan is not really a silly woman who only knows about love.
She is the queen and the rightful mistress of the harem.
But the world has only heard of the name of Concubine Dong.
This was absolutely a humiliation for Empress Yuan.
She would deliberately use various excuses to torture Concubine Dong, just to let Concubine Dong and the concubines in the harem know: I am the queen! I am the wife of Emperor Qing!
And you, no matter how favored you are or how able you are to give birth to sons, are still just a concubine!
Empress Dowager Yuan: ...What’s the point of being angry like this?
Adopting a little prince and pushing him onto the throne of the crown prince is the right thing to do!
Empress Dowager Yuan practically pulled her niece and daughter-in-law's ears and broke the truth down into pieces as she spoke.
Empress Yuan was a little numb. "Auntie, I'm not stupid! I know what's more important!"
"Okay, okay! I promise you, I will never cause trouble for Dong's mother and son again!"
"Even if I want to establish my authority, I will look for Consort De and Consort Xian!"
When talking about these two people, a fierce look flashed in Empress Yuan's eyes.
Since you are not favored, you let your son show your affection?
how?
Showing off that you can give birth to a son?
Even if your son ascends the throne in the future, I will still be his legal mother, and I am the empress dowager!
Empress Yuan was furious and began to shift her targets.
It wasn't that today he disliked the virtuous concubine for taking her left foot first when she walked, and then made her kneel in the corridor;
Tomorrow he would think that Concubine De’s nails were too long and an eyesore, so he would ask her to stand in front of him and serve him tea.
Anyway, just like how she treated Concubine Dong in the past, she should treat Concubine De and Concubine Xian the same way now.
Defei & Xianfei: ...
They are not of humble origin like Concubine Dong. They are all noble ladies from aristocratic families.
Defei's surname was Wei, and her maiden family was the Jingzhao Wei family, a famous aristocratic family in the Qing Dynasty.
The virtuous concubine's surname was Li, and she was the daughter of the Longxi Li family, a long-established aristocratic family of the Qing Dynasty.
When they were at their parents' home, they were treated like royalty.
She entered the palace as a concubine, and although she was not favored, she did not suffer any injustice.
Moreover, because their bellies were so promising, Emperor Qing, for the sake of his children, also valued Concubine Xian and Concubine De.
As a result, after living a comfortable life for half her life and almost reaching the age of becoming a grandmother, she was treated like a lowly concubine by Empress Yuan!
I can’t tolerate it, absolutely can’t tolerate it!
Unfortunately, Empress Yuan was not only the empress, she was also the niece of the empress dowager. Behind these women of the Yuan family was the huge Yu Dynasty!
Consort Xian & Consort De: ...
Just bear with it!
They, uh, probably had to endure it even after their sons became the crown prince and then the emperor.
As long as the Yu Dynasty still exists, the Yuan family girl can continue to show off her power in the harem of the Qing Dynasty!
Concubine Xian and Concubine De were so sad that they had no tears to cry, but for the sake of their son, they could only choose to become a Ninja Turtles.
They can tolerate it, but their sons cannot.
Especially the eldest prince and the second prince, they were the oldest and thought they were respected by their father.
They came before Emperor Qing for help.
Emperor Qing: ...I have a headache!
Both Concubine De and Concubine Xian were daughters of aristocratic families, and had powerful families behind them.
Their son is also one of the future heirs favored by Emperor Qing.
Whether it's for their families or for his son's sake, he has to protect them.
However, Emperor Qing did not want to provoke Empress Yuan easily.
This woman has been in the harem for twenty years and has gone a little crazy.
In addition, although Emperor Qing was wary of the daughter of the Yuan family, he was still a human being after all, and he had a few consciences - the Yuan family was not only the queen, but also his cousin.
If he didn't look at Empress Yuan and only looked at his biological mother, Empress Dowager Yuan, Emperor Qing couldn't be too ruthless.
Both sides are important!
Can't offend anyone!
As a result, a situation will arise in which only the "true love" Concubine Dong will be hurt.
It happened that at this time, the Ninth Prince "returned", and Concubine Dong was seriously ill and became a little paranoid.
She no longer asked the Ninth Prince to keep a low profile, but instead publicly declared him her "most beloved son."
When Emperor Qing first heard this, he felt a little awkward.
But soon, Emperor Qing realized: Wow, that’s not bad!
The reason why Empress Yuan targeted Concubines De and Xian was because he promoted the eldest and second princes.
Now, the Ninth Prince has become the most favored son. As for Empress Yuan, is it, is it just...
After weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Qing suppressed his deep feelings for Concubine Dong and her son, and said to Concubine Dong and Gu Qingcheng with a smile, "Yes! Donglang is my most beloved son."
"It's no exaggeration to call him my 'first son'!"
Gu Qingcheng: ...I have something to say, MMP, but I don’t know whether I should say it or not.
Concubine Dong: ...I have something to say, MMP, but I don’t know whether I should say it or not!
