Kunning Palace
Emperor Jiahe came to pay his respects to the empress early in the morning.
He felt that he had come too early, but when he arrived, all the concubines in the harem except the confined concubine Shufei had arrived.
Emperor Jiahe was naturally besieged by the concubines, who talked about him left and right, in a chaotic and sarcastic tone, with hidden ulterior motives.
No one else said anything, but the virtuous and dignified queen fanned the flames.
The gentle and quiet Concubine Jing is neither gentle nor quiet, and she hides a knife behind her smile.
Concubine Hui is not kind, she is a sharp-tongued woman.
The virtuous concubine is not virtuous, and her words are full of thorns.
Concubine De is not virtuous and is sarcastic.
…
When the concubines talked, they always set traps for him and accused him of crimes.
Emperor Jiahe was amazed, surprised and shocked.
These are all his concubines. In front of him, each of them is gentle and virtuous, deeply affectionate and infatuated, willing to live and die for him. They do not ask that he have only them, but only that he have a place for them in his heart.
In the past, Emperor Jiahe felt guilty because all his concubines were so affectionate and loved him silently.
But he could not respond to their sincerity. As an emperor, he was destined not to be emotional, nor to indulge in love, and even more so, he would not care about the country for the sake of loving one person.
Everyone says he is kind, but his kindness is applied to the court and also to his concubines.
He felt sorry for them for accompanying him in the deep palace, and thought that they had no children and that their lives would be difficult after his death.
So he tried his best to improve their treatment and gave them more rewards during festivals.
The positions are also given generously.
But now, looking at them, I feel contempt, disdain, sarcasm, ridicule, belittlement, contempt, disdain, unkindness, hostility, hatred, and full of malice.
These familiar yet unfamiliar faces.
Jiahedi is numb.
He seemed like a lamb trapped in a pack of wolves, with their fangs and claws bared, looking as if they were going to tear him to pieces.
Looking at how they usually acted like good sisters and good sisters in front of him, but now they were targeting him and not forgetting to stab his good sisters and good sisters in the back.
Emperor Jiahe felt that he would never be able to face these concubines again.
Born into a royal family, Emperor Jiahe had seen the two faces of the previous emperor's concubines in public and behind the scenes.
However, the behavior of his concubines in front of him made Emperor Jiahe deceive himself into thinking that his harem was different from that of the previous emperor.
He didn't expect that they just didn't reveal their other side in front of him, but when they were behind his back, they wanted to kill each other.
At this moment, Emperor Jiahe was not concerned about Bei Lingyao who was attending court. He had not slept all night and was tired and sleepy. He couldn't help yawning.
But you still have to cheer up and deal with these concubines.
Otherwise, you might fall into the other party's language trap and be accused of a crime.
He had never been so tired from competing with court officials in battles of wits and courage every day, or reviewing memorials and handling government affairs after court.
After leaving Kunning Palace, we went to Cining Palace.
"Empress Beipin"
Emperor Jiahe was stopped by a voice. He looked over and saw a strange face he did not recognize.
But just now in Fengyi Palace, this person's hateful gaze was too strong.
Emperor Jiahe looked at Madam Qu, who whispered, "Your Majesty, this is the new Concubine Shi who has just entered the palace."
Emperor Jiahe immediately knew who it was.
This was sent to the palace by the Yang family to be a surrogate mother for Concubine Shu. Once the child was born, it would be given to Concubine Shu to raise.
Emperor Jiahe felt uncomfortable, as it was obvious that the Yang family wanted to produce another empress and empress dowager.
But he just didn't want to do what the Yang family wanted.
"Lady Bei, it was Third Young Master Lin who was pestering me before. I have no relationship with Third Young Master Lin, and the Shi family will not marry their two daughters into the Yong'an Earl's Mansion. I hope Lady Bei will not misunderstand me."
Emperor Jiahe: "...???"
This Lady Shi is actually involved with Young Master Lin San.
As to whether it was a real misunderstanding or not, you have to ask Beipin to find out.
Emperor Jiahe didn't say much, turned around and left.
Concubine Shi didn't expect that Concubine Bei would be so arrogant, and she was very angry.
That loser Lin San not only divorced her but also refused to kill her and even allowed Bei to enter the palace.
Lady Shi's love for Mr. Lin San was gone, and she even felt a little regretful that she had wasted her youth on Mr. Lin San, the son of her humble concubine.
Thinking of this, Concubine Shi glared at Concubine Bei's back with hatred. It was all Concubine Bei's fault.
That loser Lin San is just too kind. He said he loved me, but he spent seven years with Bei.
If he had been killed earlier, there wouldn't be so many problems.
The most important thing is that I delayed myself.
She and Lin San had been in love since childhood, but unfortunately, the eldest sister who was favored by her parents and always surpassed her married Lin San's eldest brother and became the wife of the Prince of Yong'an.
This caused her and Lin San to have no fate.
Finally, the prince's brother-in-law died of illness, and the eldest sister had no children.
Seeing that Lin San divorced his wife, he immediately applied for the position of crown prince and married her to become the crown prince's wife of the Yong'an Earl's Mansion.
The future Lady of Yong'an.
But unexpectedly, Mr. Bei ruined everything.
After learning that Lin San was a bastard, the Shi family, who had originally agreed, opposed Lady Shi marrying Lin San even more.
Lin Sancheng's hope of becoming the crown prince and inheriting the Earl's Mansion became smaller, and Concubine Shi lost her patience and was unwilling to waste any more time.
She is nineteen years old and can't wait any longer.
If Lin San cannot become the prince of Yong'an Earl, it would be a joke for her to marry into the Yong'an Earl's Mansion.
Even if the Shi family sacrificed two legitimate daughters to marry into the Yong'an Earl's Mansion, the entire Shi family would become a laughing stock.
The Shi family couldn't afford the gamble. They were only a family of fourth-rank officials and couldn't influence the position of the crown prince of the Yong'an Earl's Mansion.
Not to mention that the prince of Yong'an died of illness. The wife of the Yong'an earl blamed her son's illness and death on the prince's wife, Dashi, and blamed Dashi for being unlucky.
Lin San wanted to marry Lady Shi, but he couldn't get past the hurdle of being the wife of the Earl of Yong'an.
So, in order to become the crown prince, Lin San agreed to marry the niece of Lady Yong'an.
After knowing this, Lady Shi felt even more blind and heartless. She had wasted years of her life on such a person, to the point that her marriage became a problem.
The reputation of the Shi family's daughter as a jinx spread, and Lady Shi's marriage became difficult.
The Shi family had no choice but to spread the reputation of Concubine Shi for being fertile, use the Yang family's connections, and send Concubine Shi into the palace to seek wealth and status.
When Bei Lingyao left the court, Emperor Jiahe was still in the Cining Palace.
Bei Lingyao immediately went to the Cining Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
When a message came from outside, the concubines became alert and quietly checked their appearance.
The Queen Mother was also an experienced person and was not surprised by this.
Bei Lingyao walked out of the palace gate, and the concubines' eyes lit up, their eyes full of affection, wishing that the emperor could see them in their most conspicuous form.
Bei Lingyao was not surprised to see this.
Emperor Jiahe was born elegant and handsome, with a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes with elongated and upturned eye ends. He was born with a sense of charm and a romantic and affectionate aura that was particularly alluring.
It can be said that dogs are affectionate.
Not to mention, this is the emperor, the supreme ruler, with extraordinary temperament and natural nobility.
He is young and handsome, a modest gentleman, gentle as jade, tall and slender, elegant and graceful, and has a kind heart.
How could such a king not be infatuated with and fought over by his concubines?
