"The emperor stays, and you all leave."
The Queen Mother spoke, and now my mind was in a mess and I just wanted to talk to my son.
The concubines also tactfully took their leave.
Emperor Jiahe looked at it eagerly, but had no choice but to leave.
Mother, your son is here.
Unfortunately, no one, neither his mother, Zhang De, nor the concubines, noticed that a new soul had been replaced in his body.
This made Emperor Jiahe very uncomfortable.
On the one hand, I am afraid of being discovered.
On the other hand, he was disappointed because none of his closest people noticed his difference.
The Empress Dowager's attention was all on her "son" Bei Lingyao, so naturally she didn't notice the real son of Emperor Jiahe who was carrying Concubine Bei's body.
Soon, only Bei Lingyao and the Queen Mother were left in the palace.
The Queen Mother sighed, "Your uncle probably doesn't know about the affair between Lady Shi and the Third Young Master Lin of the Yong'an Earl's Mansion."
"Whether it's true or not, it's true that the Yang family has stretched their hands too far. Does your mother really want the Yang family to produce another queen and queen mother?"
Bei Lingyao asked the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother shook her head slightly. "The Yang family has two dukes in one family. Their power has reached its peak. Too much is as bad as too little."
"My mother knows that excess is as bad as deficiency, and that everything that is prosperous must decline, but my grandfather and uncles feel that the Yang family is not noble enough.
They still want to have another queen mother, but the royal family is dwindling. Once their son is gone, who will be able to control the Yang family? Will they become the masters of the world in the future? "
"Emperor, be careful with your words!"
The Queen Mother scolded.
"Mother, please calm down. I am grateful to my grandfather and uncles for their help to us. My father was afraid that the Yang family would become too powerful and that his son would be restrained, so he was unwilling to pass the throne to him.
The son was not convinced in the past, thinking that he was obviously the best, but his father was unwilling to choose him as the heir.
In the end, he had to make his son the crown prince.
After the son ascended the throne, he worked diligently to govern the country, not daring to show any signs of fatigue. He also wanted to prove to his father that he was the best.
But the Yang family is his son's maternal grandparents' family. His son respects and loves them, which also helps to increase the power of the Yang family and allows the Yang family to interfere in the affairs of the harem.
I won’t talk about what Concubine Shu has done in the harem over the years, but as for the matter of Concubine Shi, since my uncle sent her into the palace, shouldn’t he investigate it?
Mother, my son is sad."
Bei Lingyao pounded her chest lightly, and the Queen Mother's eyes turned red. "Emperor, please let me think about it."
On one side is her mother's family, and on the other side is her own son.
The Queen Mother was also in a very difficult situation.
Bei Lingyao did not force the Queen Mother, but just gave her a shot of prevention first.
Without the support of the Yang family, it would not be easy for the Empress Dowager and Emperor Jiahe to ascend to the throne.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Jiahe were very tolerant of the Yang family.
However, the Yang family was extremely powerful and secretly interfered in the affairs of the harem, provoking fights among the concubines, making the princes and princesses victims.
The Yang family did this in secret, and even the Queen Mother didn't know about it.
After usurping the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty, Uncle Yang failed to keep the throne. Instead, his country was destroyed by his favorite concubine of a foreign race who collaborated with him from both inside and outside.
Bei Lingyao didn't stay long and headed towards the imperial garden.
Emperor Jiahe is in trouble right now.
After leaving the Cining Palace, Emperor Jiahe was invited by his concubines to the Imperial Garden.
Emperor Jiahe did not refuse, but when he was admiring the lotus by the lake, Concubine Jing pulled his hand. Before he could let go, Concubine Jing fell into the lake.
Emperor Jiahe naturally took the blame for pushing Concubine Jing into the lake.
Faced with the accusations and charges from the concubines, Emperor Jiahe was so angry that he almost laughed.
It was a pity that he was an emperor who grew up in the palace and was accustomed to conspiracies and intrigues, but he was framed and plotted against by his own concubines.
Concubine Jing can be said to be Emperor Jiahe's favorite concubine, otherwise she would not have been able to sit on the throne of a concubine just by giving birth to a princess.
The queen was invited and she was eager to convict and punish Concubine Bei immediately.
But the Queen also knew that Concubine Bei was now protected by Emperor Jiahe, and it would not be easy to touch Concubine Bei.
She was also happy to see Concubine Bei and Concubine Jing making a fuss.
"Go and invite the emperor."
When Bei Lingyao came over, she faced Concubine Jing who had fainted after being rescued, and Emperor Jiahe who was speechless.
The concubines all said that they saw Concubine Bei push her away, but Emperor Jiahe was unable to defend himself.
He was plotted against by Concubine Jing.
Emperor Jiahe couldn't understand why Concubine Bei, who had just entered the palace and was a divorced woman and the daughter of a merchant, could arouse such hostility from these concubines.
He also made Concubine Jing take risks for her own benefit.
But he did not understand women's jealousy, especially Concubine Jing.
When Concubine Bei entered the palace, Concubine Jing realized that her favorite concubine was a joke.
It’s fine that she can’t live in Yongshou Palace, which is closest to the Yangxin Palace, after all, Concubine Shu has been keeping an eye on her before.
But she had secretly asked for a title for her father before, but the emperor did not respond.
However, Beipin's father was granted the title of Chunyi Bo.
None of her fathers as a concubine was granted a title.
Why does Beipin do that?
Even for her contribution in saving the emperor, Beipin was admitted into the palace and given the title of concubine.
The emperor's favoritism made Concubine Jing jealous and resentful, as she had never received such treatment in all her years in the palace.
Concubine Jing wanted to let the emperor see who he would side with if Concubine Bei pushed her into the water.
"Are you okay?"
Bei Lingyao looked at Emperor Jiahe with concern.
Emperor Jiahe shook his head slightly, "I am fine, it's just that Imperial Concubine Jing slipped and almost dragged me into the water."
"It's obviously you..."
Concubine Li, who was close to Concubine Jing, immediately blamed Emperor Jiahe.
Bei Lingyao ignored Li Concubine and said to Emperor Jiahe, "I believe you. Bei Concubine is kind and has no grudges against Concubine Jing. How could she harm Concubine Jing in public? You are just following the crowd and scaring Bei Concubine."
