Concubine Shu was very disappointed.
Hui Shu was virtuous and virtuous, so Bei Lingyao asked Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui to assist in managing the harem, which just happened to be Concubine Shu's problem.
But Concubine Shu couldn't have any opinions, after all, her rank was below Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui.
"My son has something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
Bei Lingyao left the Cining Palace and handed the phoenix seal to the empress dowager.
"Aunt, why doesn't my cousin like me?"
Concubine Shu was really sad.
"Come to my side."
The Empress Dowager liked her niece Shufei very much, because this niece looked most like her.
She gave birth to a son and a daughter, the Emperor and Princess Xiangyang.
The emperor looks somewhat like her, but Princess Xiangyang looks more like the late emperor.
This was also the reason why the Empress Dowager brought Concubine Shu into the palace to raise her when her brother mentioned it.
But she didn't expect that Concubine Shu was obsessed with the emperor and her temper was getting worse and worse.
"Aunt, can you let my cousin pamper me?"
Concubine Shu was acting coquettishly beside the Empress Dowager.
"Alas, I can't do this."
It's not like the empress dowager hadn't tried to persuade the emperor before, but the emperor's remark that Concubine Shu looked like his mother choked the empress dowager.
"Aunt, I know my cousin used to think I looked like you and always treated me as his sister, but now I don't look like you at all.
My aunt has curved willow-shaped eyebrows, while mine are straight and thicker.
My aunt has peach blossom eyes, I have small almond eyes, my aunt has Buddha ears, I don’t, my aunt has a wide forehead, mine is small.
My aunt has a bigger mouth, while I have a small cherry mouth. Only my nose, mouth and face shape are similar to my aunt. I am taller than my aunt, and taller than her..."
Concubine Shu carefully considered the differences between her and the Empress Dowager. She was not unaware of these things, and she also knew that Emperor Jiahe minded, but Concubine Shu just liked Emperor Jiahe and had liked him for many years.
She was unwilling to give up.
The Empress Dowager was very upset. Concubine Shu had the same eyebrow shape as hers, except that she shaved her eyebrows and deliberately drew them into straight lines.
The shape of her mouth is the same too, Concubine Shu deliberately pouts her lips into a cherry-like shape...
Indeed, only the eyebrows, nose, mouth and face shape are similar. Thanks to Concubine Shu's efforts, there is not much similarity left.
"Ning'er, obey the emperor and leave the palace. You've been stuck in this palace for years. The emperor doesn't have you in his heart and doesn't want to touch you. It's not worth it for the emperor."
Shufei didn't say anything. When she was young, because she looked like her aunt, her father loved her and spoiled her and sent her to the palace.
At that time, Concubine Shu was very fond of and proud of her appearance.
But over the years, she regretted it countless times and even resented why she looked like the empress dowager.
As she looked at the exquisitely dressed empress dowager, she felt even more resentful. You are a widowed empress dowager, and who are you dressing up for all day long?
If the empress dowager dressed older, lived in seclusion, and didn't have to show up in front of the emperor, the emperor would not care about her appearance.
"You blame my family?"
The Empress Dowager was suddenly heartbroken when she saw Concubine Shu's unconcealed look.
"Aunt, I'm not mistaken. Your niece loves you the most."
Concubine Shu was busy trying to coax the empress dowager, but her unintentional glance had already caught the empress dowager's attention.
The Queen Mother said quietly, "When you wanted to enter the palace, I didn't agree, and the Emperor only treated you as a sister. Your grandfather and your father wanted to send your cousins and concubines to the palace, but your mother made them miss the selection, so your grandfather and father had no choice but to send you to the palace."
The Queen Mother disliked Concubine Shu's mother, the wife of the Crown Prince of Cheng'en, because her sister-in-law was too patriarchal and after giving birth to a son, she left her one-year-old daughter aside and neglected to take care of her.
Or a little niece who looks like me.
The Empress Dowager's mother, Old Lady Yang, took Concubine Shu's granddaughter to live with her and raised her. She had some objections to her daughter-in-law at first, but after her daughter-in-law gave birth to the eldest grandson, she gave birth to the second grandson. How could Old Lady Yang have any objections?
When Concubine Shu was five years old, Old Lady Yang passed away, and Concubine Shu was brought into the palace to be raised.
It was at this time that Shufei's mother, the wife of the Prince of Cheng'en, regained her maternal love. She sent gifts to the palace, wrote letters to her daughter, and asked about her daughter's well-being as soon as she came back.
Even though she favored boys over girls, the wife of the Crown Prince of Cheng'en also had plans for Concubine Shu and strongly supported her entry into the palace.
It can be said that the reason why Concubine Shu is so obsessed with the emperor has a lot to do with the wife of the Crown Prince Cheng'en.
She constantly brainwashed, indoctrinated and encouraged her daughter, making it impossible for Concubine Shu, who already loved the emperor, to listen to the empress dowager.
"After you enter the palace, the emperor will also fabricate an identity for you outside. You can leave the palace at any time and live under a different identity. You will still be the noble legitimate daughter of the Yang family. With the Yang family, Ai and the emperor, and Xiangyang, you can choose another husband of your choice and live your life. No one can bully you. If you are not so stubborn and let go of your thoughts, your child will be at least ten years old."
"What good is there in the palace? I've been trapped in this deep palace my whole life. In my previous life, I spent all my energy vying for favor and fighting for it. I was cautious and careful, struggling to maintain my position and the emperor's two children, Xiangyang. I've almost encountered disasters many times, and I have to carefully check and take precautions against everything I eat, wear, and use.
"The late emperor was moody and unruly, but he wasn't as kind as the emperor. But no matter what, he's still the emperor, someone you can't cross or offend, and he won't be manipulated."
The Queen Mother did not want to recall the past, nor did she want to live the same fearful life over again.
The late emperor was the kind of person who could be affectionate with you one second and turn his back on you the next.
Even if the desire comes, he will not care about the occasion or your dignity and will take you on the spot.
When he was in a good mood, he would ask several concubines to serve him together, and whoever served better would be promoted.
This was a nightmare for the Queen Mother.
If she had not been born into the Yang family and her late grandfather had not been the late emperor's respected tutor, the empress dowager could not imagine her life in the harem.
"Aunt, please stop trying to persuade me. I only love my cousin, the Emperor, in this life. I am his person in life and his ghost in death. I only hope that after I die, he will posthumously confer me the title of Imperial Concubine and let me be buried closer to him."
After Concubine Shu said this, the Empress Dowager knew that her persuasion was in vain.
"I hope you won't regret it."
The Queen Mother didn't waste any more words. She was tired of facing Concubine Shu. Her own children had never given her such a headache.
Shufei did not stay any longer. After so many years, she actually knew what kind of person the empress dowager was.
But I always thought that the Queen Mother was my aunt and she would stand on my side.
But when it came to the emperor's problems, the empress dowager never helped her once.
Concubine Shu returned to her palace in a depressed mood. Unable to count on the Empress Dowager, she could only rely on herself and the help of her father, mother and brothers.
Even if her cousin the emperor doesn't love her and doesn't want to touch her, she will become his queen and be buried in the same coffin together a hundred years later.
She will be able to renew her relationship with her cousin in the next life.
Anyone who stands in her way deserves death.
Bei Lingyao felt that the Queen Mother had done her utmost, and if Concubine Shu continued to refuse to listen, she would be asking for trouble.
[Host, countdown...]
