Three months later, the Queen and Concubine Chun both gave birth to daughters.
Two little princesses were added to the harem.
Rong Zhou was very happy, and he issued a general amnesty and rewarded the harem generously.
Concubine Chun's daughter was born two days later than the Queen's daughter and was the third princess.
Concubine Chun cherished the third princess as if she were her own eyes.
I'm afraid it will be scared if I hold it in my hand, and I'm afraid it will melt if I put it in my mouth.
The queen was a little disappointed when she heard that the baby was a princess.
It took her a few days to come to her senses and accept the reality.
I started visiting my daughter every day, and as they spent more time together, my love for her grew stronger.
In just a few months, she treated her daughter like a treasure and doted on her like Concubine Chun.
At that time, Su Wanti had already firmly grasped the power of the harem in her own hands.
All six palaces belong to her, and anyone who has any disturbance will be reported to her immediately. She is the de facto master of the harem.
A few years later, some of the collateral relatives sponsored by the Su family passed the imperial examinations, and the Su family's influence began to emerge in the court. Although it was still very weak, it was moving steadily and rising step by step.
Su Hanri's youngest son's temperament is not like his father's, but rather like his mother's, cautious and intelligent.
Because he was a good student, Su Wanti let him enter the palace and go to the imperial study with the little prince every day to accompany him in his studies.
————
In recent years, the concubines in the harem have lived in peace, and even the imperial concubine has become much more obedient.
The queen tried for two years to get pregnant again and give birth to a prince, but no matter what remedies she used or how hard she tried, she was unable to get pregnant again.
Gradually, she became discouraged and gave up, devoting her heart to her daughter and no longer thinking about giving birth to a prince.
Concubine Wen has been promoted to Concubine Wen and helps Su Wanti handle matters in the harem.
Chi Shuren in the cold palace fell ill due to extreme resentment and died early.
Now, the harem is completely under Su Wanti's control.
The situation was stable and there were no threats from inside or outside, so Su Wanti thought about taking another fertility fruit and having another child.
This time, she took the Dragon and Phoenix Fruit, and ten months later, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
At this point, there were two princes and four princesses in the harem.
Rong Zhou was overjoyed. He had never thought that he would have so many children.
After more than ten years on the throne, he had become hopeless and had completely given up hope of having an heir.
Unexpectedly, after Su Wanti entered the palace, she soon became pregnant with the dragon fetus and successfully gave birth to her first prince.
Rong Zhou felt that Su Wanti was just as the abbot said, she was destined to have a child, she was his lucky star, and also Daqi's lucky star.
Therefore, he loved Su Wanti even more. Not only did he give Su Wanti the power to rule over the six palaces, he also gave her endless treasures and blatant favoritism.
He actually allowed Su Wanti to enter and leave the Xuan Zheng Hall at will, and allowed her to review memorials on his behalf.
There is no wall that is impenetrable. This matter was extraordinary and when it reached the court, it naturally caused an uproar.
Rong Zhou is about forty years old and has two princes, both born to Su Wanti.
No matter who becomes emperor, Su Wanti will be the empress dowager.
Some old ministers were afraid of the dictatorship of the imperial relatives, so they said that the imperial concubine should not interfere in politics and asked the emperor to restrain the imperial concubine's behavior.
Rong Zhou pushed back, "I allowed her to participate in politics, and you want to restrain my behavior?"
One courtier said, "The concubines in the harem should strictly abide by the rules and etiquette. The Royal Concubine's behavior is against the rules."
Rong Zhou glared, "I am the Son of Heaven, I am the rule."
Another minister said, "Men and women should each perform their duties. Women should stay in their proper place, take care of their husbands and children in the inner court, and should not interfere in government affairs."
Rong Zhou's face darkened.
"When the princess was out and about, building a charity and teaching medical girls, why didn't you object? Back then, when your mother was out in the open, selling wontons on the street to earn money to support your studies and imperial examinations, why didn't you tell her to stay in her place and not go out and set up a stall to earn money?"
Whatever the court officials said would be refuted by Rong Zhou, and gradually no one in the court dared to oppose it.
————
Su Wanti naturally knew what was happening in the court.
Seeing Rong Zhou defending her like this, she felt relieved.
This year marks her seventh year with Rong Zhou, and there is one thing she cannot avoid.
She remembered that in three years, Rong Zhou would die of illness.
Her fate has changed in this life, but she doesn't know whether Rong Zhou's fate will change.
If it is really like the previous life, then when Rong Zhou passed away, the eldest prince was less than ten years old. How could the court be stable and Daqi be at peace if he ascended the throne at such a young age?
By then, without Rongzhou's strong suppression, I'm afraid that a group of ambitious people will show their fangs and fight for power and profit.
Su Wanti would not allow such a thing to happen, so she started giving Rong Zhou spiritual spring water to drink a few years ago.
Now it seems that Rong Zhou is in good health.
However, Su Wanti still needs to make preparations early just in case.
There is nothing to worry about in the harem. The most important thing is to stabilize the previous dynasty.
Su Wanti began to plan secretly. In addition to winning over the new forces of the previous dynasty, she also formed a secret guard team.
The members of the Dark Guard are all orphans, free from all ties and loyal to the core.
They have been practicing martial arts since childhood and have great skills. They can climb walls and hide in any environment.
Su Wanti sent them out to monitor court officials, and everything the civil and military officials said and did could not escape Su Wanti's eyes and ears.
————
It has been seventeen years since Su Wanti entered the palace.
Rong Zhou's physical condition is getting worse and worse. Although he has the blessing of spiritual spring water and spiritual fruit, he still cannot escape the arrangement of fate.
He grew thinner and thinner, and the luster in his eyes faded.
