"Your Majesty, the Empress has arrived!"
The empress returned home three times, and the emperor and empress visited the Bei family at the same time.
The Bei family felt extremely proud, but at the same time, they also had hidden worries in their hearts.
Because they knew that they were not being kind to this concubine's daughter.
Although he was not bullied, he was ignored and kept in a small Buddhist temple. He was not allowed to attend any banquets here during the holidays.
It was not until Master Bei introduced his students to the original owner and her fiancé Pei Hanxue came to visit that the original owner was able to come out of the small Buddhist temple and meet him.
Then Bei Shuxian snatched Pei Hanxue away.
It is a great blessing for a concubine's daughter to become a queen.
Even if it is to bring good luck to the emperor or to accompany him in death, so what?
In the eyes of the Bei family, this was a great gift to Bei Lingyao, a concubine's daughter.
So they were in a superior position and decided everything for the eldest daughter of a concubine.
But now, the emperor was not ill and unable to get up, and he attached so much importance to accompanying the concubine's daughter back home, so the Bei family felt guilty.
Master Bei felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should not have welcomed Lan back because of Li's tears and concern for his son.
Taifu Bei now has one wife, three concubines, three sons and three daughters.
Among them, one daughter and three sons were all born to Li. Two of the three concubines gave birth to daughters, and one had no children.
It’s just that the number of these three concubines is fixed, but the people are not.
When someone dies, new ones come in.
But Li came from a noble family, was young and beautiful, and had given birth to a daughter and three sons, and was very much loved by Master Bei.
The two concubines who gave birth to daughters were one the niece of the same clan as Old Lady Bei, and the other the maid given by Old Lady Bei.
Mrs. Bei's niece from the same clan was a concubine when the original owner's mother was still alive. After the original owner's mother was divorced, she was found to be pregnant.
There was also a concubine who was the maid hired by the original owner's mother.
Both concubines became pregnant at the same time, but Mrs. Bei's niece gave birth to a daughter.
The other baby boy was stillborn, resulting in two deaths.
In addition, the original owner's biological mother had died of complications during childbirth before, so many people felt that the master and servant were not blessed.
Later, Li was favored alone, and Old Lady Bei could not stand it, so she gave a maid to him. But Master Bei did not favor her, and Old Lady Bei was furious, so she took in two concubines from outside.
Master Bei watched his own mother suffer so much that she finally slept with the maid, and that's how she had her little daughter.
But one of the two concubines disappeared in the backyard, and the other had no children and was not favored much.
"Your Highness and Your Majesty the Empress."
Everyone in the Bei family knelt on the ground, feeling extremely upset and regretful.
Mrs. Bei was in a terrible state. She had taken this evil creature back out of kindness, but now she had to kneel before this evil creature. She was not happy at all.
It was okay for Taifu Bei, as it was only right for his daughter to kneel before the queen. He just regretted that Xian'er, the legitimate daughter, was too willful. Otherwise, if she had married into the palace, there would have been no such thing as the eldest daughter of a concubine.
Bei Shuxian's words just now finally resonated with the hearts of the Bei family. Although Master Bei reprimanded Bei Shuxian, he was also worried that the eldest daughter of a concubine would bear a grudge and take revenge on the Bei family.
Master Bei didn't know much about his daughter, and now he thought about it, it seemed that he had no way to control her.
But the Lan family is still alive, and if the Lan family's status is taken into consideration, the eldest daughter of a concubine will always be cautious.
Master Bei thought so, but he was not very sure in his heart.
After all, Lan died during childbirth. Who knows whether the concubine's daughter would hate Lan for asking to be divorced? Moreover, the concubine's daughter has never met the Lan family, so how could she have any feelings for them?
The more Master Bei thought about it, the worse it felt.
Li almost couldn't control her expression.
Although I was mentally prepared, I had also imagined two situations.
The first one is that the eldest daughter of a concubine enters the palace, and when the emperor dies, she is buried with him and has no chance to leave the palace.
The second option is that the concubine's daughter returns to her parents' home on her own. For the future of her descendants, it is okay for her to endure it.
But when they really met, she knelt down on her knees to perform the solemn ceremony of kowtow to the concubine's daughter, and the eldest concubine's daughter accepted it from a high position, looking down at her condescendingly, which made Li feel extremely bad.
She regretted sending her concubine's daughter into the palace.
Even a niece from her mother's family would be better than this eldest daughter from a concubine.
This clearly created a powerful enemy for himself.
Although this enemy had never been taken seriously by the Li family before, he was not worthy of being an opponent.
Now the Li family still looks down on him, but the enemy has the emperor and the retired emperor as their backers, which makes a difference.
Master Bei is now somewhat favored by the emperor, but once Master Bei is gone, Li does not think that her children will have any future.
If Li was in such a mood, Bei Shuxian would be even worse off.
The other members of the Bei family were also filled with gloom.
"Grandfather, father, mother, please stand up."
Bei Lingyao helped Emperor Kangde get off the imperial carriage, walked slowly forward, looked at the Bei family members and spoke gently.
Emperor Kangde said in a deep voice, "Stand up, no need to be so polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
The Bei family members all stood up and were stunned when they saw Emperor Kant.
It's not like they had never been to the palace before. Sometimes they had seen Emperor Kant during festivals and even the coronation ceremony, but the Emperor Kant in their impression was not like this.
That skinny and dying Emperor Kant?
At this moment, Emperor Kant, with a half-smile on his face, was extremely handsome, majestic, and naturally noble, which made them feel unreal.
It’s not true to say it’s fake. After all, this appearance is becoming more and more similar to the retired emperor’s face when he was young.
Everyone thought that the new Emperor Kangde was no good, and they were the same. When they heard that the emperor wanted to bring good luck to the emperor, they tried to avoid him as much as possible. They even wanted to make their daughter sick, injured, or even fake her death to change her identity.
Now, Master Bei and Madam Li were filled with sadness and silence.
They must have suffered so much because the emperor kept it a secret.
Bei Shuxian was completely stunned and dumbfounded.
When she went to the palace to attend a banquet in the past, she had seen Emperor Kangde. He was just a sickly prince, but at that time, Bei Shuxian was only interested in his status as the queen.
As long as she gave birth to a prince, it wouldn't matter if the emperor died, she could just become the regent queen dowager.
Later, when she heard that Emperor Kangde was about to die, she did not dare to marry because she did not want to be buried with him.
But who can tell her now why the emperor looks like this, so handsome, and looks healthy, without any sign of illness.
Before, I thought Pei Hanxue was better than the emperor in every way except his background, but now Bei Shuxian is filled with frustration and disappointment.
His expression was slightly distorted and aggrieved, as if he had been deceived. The look in his eyes when he looked at Emperor Kant was full of accusation. He was obviously fine, so why did he deceive the world and say he was going to die?
If it were not so, she would be the one standing beside him now, and she would be the one being worshipped and revered by everyone as the queen.
Ahhhhhhhhhh…
At this moment, Bei Shuxian went crazy and wanted to scream.
But neither Bei Lingyao nor Emperor Kang De gave her a single glance.
"Your Majesty, please, Queen."
Looking at his eldest daughter who looked out of control, Master Bei secretly said that something was wrong. He quickly gave a look to Li and invited Emperor Kangde and Bei Lingyao into the house.
