Emperor Shengwu sneered in his heart. The empress dowager was not a good person, so how much better could the eldest princess be?
Don't think he doesn't know that the strange poison in his body was also contributed by the Grand Princess.
Once he adopted his son to Concubine Lu, his life as the emperor would be dispensable.
However, in order to keep the Grand Princess and the Queen Mother in check and balance, Emperor Shengwu did not touch the Grand Princess.
Otherwise, she would have been executed like Concubine Bao and her concubines.
But if the eldest princess had come earlier, Emperor Shengwu might have agreed.
Now, he also gave himself a thought.
Within one year, if Concubine Bei can conceive his child, regardless of gender, even if it is a princess, he will train his daughter to be the first empress of the Great Gan Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Emperor Shengwu became more eager to remove the strange poison in his body in order to prolong his life.
"I have my own plans."
The eldest princess was very disappointed. She had thought that she and the empress dowager were at odds with each other and that Emperor Shengwu would agree to her proposal, but she did not expect him to be indifferent.
Is it really because you still care about your young children targeting you?
The eldest princess regretted not restraining her daughter in the past, because she also disliked Emperor Shengwu because of the Empress Dowager.
Although she still dislikes it now, who is sitting on the throne is Emperor Shengwu, who is much better than that idiot Prince Fu.
If Emperor Shengwu and Prince Fu were the only princes left of the previous emperor, she would not have completely sided with Emperor Shengwu.
The eldest princess left quickly without pleading for her daughter and asking Emperor Shengwu to lift the ban on Concubine Lu.
Concubine Lu was very disappointed. She had been looking forward to her mother entering the palace since she received the news, but she didn't expect that even after her mother left, she still didn't receive the decree to lift the ban.
"Didn't mother come to the palace to plead for me?"
Concubine Lu was unhappy. Every day she heard about how favored the girl in Yufu Palace was, and she felt extremely envious and jealous.
"If mother gives the Eagle Guard to the emperor, he will definitely favor me."
"Empress"
Nanny Li looked at Concubine Lu disapprovingly and shook her head slightly.
She was the nanny arranged by the Grand Princess. She knew that the Grand Princess was feared by the Emperor and the Queen Mother because she had the Eagle Guards.
Without the Eagle Guards, the Grand Princess would be no different from other princesses.
Concubine Lu sighed, "Mammy, what do I need to do for the Emperor to favor me? Is he really still holding a grudge against me because of what I said when I was young?"
Concubine Lu pouted and looked very unhappy.
The emperor is too stingy.
She also regretted it very much. If she had known that she would fall in love with the emperor at first sight when she grew up and be impressed by his bravery and extraordinary ability, she would definitely not treat him like that.
Thinking of this, Concubine Lu blamed her brother again. If her brother had not always spoken ill of the emperor to her, how could she have developed a bad feeling towards the emperor.
Her brother has caused her so much trouble.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Emperor and the Liu family are not on good terms. If they want to adopt an heir, Your Majesty is the best candidate."
"I used to think so too, but now there is a concubine named Bei."
Concubine Lu gritted her teeth in hatred.
"The Bei family has a shallow foundation and is unpopular. Even if there is an adopted heir, Concubine Bei and the Bei family will not be able to protect him. The emperor will not be so foolish."
Concubine Lu felt a little comforted after hearing this.
But she really wanted to be favored by the emperor and be held in his hands. Why did God play such a trick on her?
Concubine Lu was extremely angry.
Concubine Liu was not much better off. Every day she heard about the rewards that Yufu Palace had received and how much the emperor doted on Concubine Bei. Jealousy made Concubine Liu's face distorted and full of resentment.
"Why is Auntie so indulgent to Concubine Bei that she even told me not to do anything rash?"
In Concubine Liu's view, as long as the Queen Mother was willing to take action, it would be easy to get rid of Concubine Bei, and then frame Concubine Lu.
But the Queen Mother was not only unwilling to take action, she also warned her, which made Concubine Liu feel very aggrieved.
"My aunt never thinks of me."
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother..."
"You don't have to say it. Auntie is concerned about Prince Fu. I am nothing but a chess piece inserted into the harem."
Concubine Liu was disheartened for a moment. She knew the great ambitions of the Queen Mother and Prince Fu, so she did not ask for much.
She only hopes that Prince Fu will come to the throne in the future and spare the emperor's life, so that she and the emperor can be together. Then she will be satisfied.
She had been in the palace for ten years, but she was not favored by the emperor, and her aunt never helped her.
As one of the most beautiful girls in the capital, she was born into a noble family, was outstandingly talented, and had a beauty that could make fish sink to the bottom of their chests, geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame.
If it weren't for her aunt, why wouldn't the emperor favor her?
"Have any of you seen Concubine Bei? Is she as beautiful as I am?"
The palace maids around her shook their heads slightly. The Yufu Palace was already empty and their spies had withdrawn long ago.
Concubine Bei never leaves her house. Apart from the emperor and the people in Yufu Palace, no one has ever seen Concubine Bei's true face.
But I heard it's very beautiful.
It makes sense. If she wasn't extremely beautiful, how could she have attracted the emperor who ignored all the concubines in the harem and favored her alone?
Concubine Liu sat in front of the dressing table, caressing her face in the mirror.
Every time she looked at herself, she felt beautiful.
But she couldn't attract the emperor.
After all, she is old. No matter how beautiful she is or how well she takes care of herself, how can she compare to the young and tender Princess Bei.
"Keep an eye on Concubine Bei for me, and report any news immediately."
Concubine Liu was unwilling to listen to the Queen Mother. As long as Concubine Bei was not removed, the envy, jealousy and hatred in her heart could not be dispelled.
Bei Lingyao also knew that she was a thorn in the side of the entire harem and even the previous dynasty.
But she was not worried. Although she could not practice, she still had the martial arts skills, so fighting was not a problem.
The most important thing is that in addition to the system plug-in, she also has spiritual attacks.
At this moment, Bei Lingyao held her chin in her hand, lost in thought. [System, what do you think I should do?]
【Prenatal education? 】
[makes sense]
Bei Lingyao immediately asked someone to bring her a book to read.
But I didn’t expect it to be “The Female Ring”.
What the hell, what she wants is an enlightenment book, or the Four Books and Five Classics.
"I remember I have a box of books."
Bei Lingyao entered the palace as a second-rank concubine. Although she had no dowry, she was still allowed to bring some dowry items.
Zhihua said, "Madam, thinking about the Empress entering the palace, she was unsure whether some of the books could be taken with her and whether it would cause unnecessary trouble, so she only left these two."
Bei Lingyao took a look and found that one was "Female Ring" and the other was "Fire Avoidance Diagram".
"Hey, all of you go down."
After Nanny Sun and Zhihua left, Bei Lingyao took the fire avoidance map and started flipping through it.
As for the female ring, it was used as a stepping stone by her.
As soon as she opened the fire avoidance map, Bei Lingyao was stunned.
Ah, this...
That’s it???
Isn’t this just two stickmen fighting? This can also be used as a fire avoidance map, and it can also be used as a treasure.
Thinking of Ling's blushing face and embarrassment, Bei Lingyao thought the picture was very real, but she didn't expect it to be so simple.
She could draw better than this.
Bei Lingyao was complaining while watching, and she didn't even know when Emperor Shengwu would arrive.
Ah, Bei Lingyao suddenly felt a shadow beside her, and came back to her senses in shock, only to find that it was Emperor Shengwu.
"Your Majesty, I have seen you."
Her hands were empty and the fire avoidance map was taken by Emperor Shengwu.
