Yikun Palace.
After Noble Consort Ming Su Mingxin learned about the news from Yunqi Palace, she calmly asked, "Did Noble Consort Shu leave because of Noble Consort Gu?"
"Yes, Concubine Shu was furious when she left Yunqi Palace and she didn't hide it at all." The maid from Yiku Palace answered truthfully.
"This Concubine Gu is quite young." Su Mingxin said with a smile.
"She's so frivolous that she's already clashing with Concubine Shu after just entering the palace." She couldn't help but laugh as she spoke. "But maybe this is a good thing for me?"
It is impossible to say that Su Mingxin has no ambition to ascend to the throne.
Her father was the Grand Tutor, her family background was prominent enough, and she herself was both talented and beautiful. When she first entered the palace, her father and the Queen Mother originally wanted to make her the Queen.
But Dongfang Che objected.
Dongfang Che accepted Su Mingxin into the palace, but she could only be a concubine or a noble concubine, and the position of queen remained vacant.
According to Dongfang Che, one can be crowned queen only if he or she has given birth to a son or made other great contributions.
Su Mingxin was only the daughter of the Grand Tutor, and her family background was indeed good, but it was not enough for him to give up the position of queen.
She was indeed well-known for her "outstanding talent and beauty", but that had no appeal to Dongfang Che.
Su Mingxin had been working towards the position of queen from the very beginning, but after entering the palace she was only a noble concubine, which caused a huge psychological gap for her.
Originally, she thought that as long as she managed the harem well enough and gave birth to the emperor's child as soon as possible, she would be able to ascend to the throne.
But she had been in the palace for almost ten years and still had no children, and Dongfang Che had no intention of making her the queen.
Su Mingxin was very unwilling.
When she heard that Prime Minister Gu's daughter, the daughter of the Prime Minister's family who had been famous for her stunning beauty a few years ago, had entered the palace and was named a noble concubine, she felt a strong sense of crisis.
But now, Su Mingxin is not so anxious.
Being so arrogant and reckless, isn't this the result of being pampered and spoiled?
Dongfang Che is a wise monarch, and the queen mother is also a sensible person. Someone with Gu Wushuang's personality is absolutely not qualified to be the queen.
"Your Majesty is right. Concubine Gu is too arrogant and cannot be your opponent." Su Mingxin's confidant echoed her.
Their queen has managed the harem in an orderly manner over the past ten years, and her reputation as a virtuous woman is known both inside and outside the palace.
A few years ago, many ministers submitted memorials to His Majesty requesting him to confer the title of empress on their wives.
If not...
If their queen had no children...
It's a pity for the trusted palace maids. How could their queen, such a good and virtuous woman, have no children?
If they have a child, their mother can become the queen.
Su Mingxin was also very anxious. She had taken a lot of medicine over the years, but she still hadn't given birth to a child.
Of course, she also suspected that Dongfang Che was infertile, but how could she dare to do such a thing openly?
In fact, Dongfang Che is 28 years old and still has no children, which has made many people wonder whether he is infertile.
But Dongfang Che is the emperor, and a very capable one at that. Who would dare to tell him in front of him that he can't have children?
I can only say it secretly.
"Mammy, please help me look for him and see if he has let His Majesty..." Su Ming thought for a moment. Although Gu Wushuang's arrogant personality made her feel less of a sense of crisis, she was, after all, a concubine of the same rank as her.
Su Mingxin still wanted greater protection, so she had to give birth to the child.
Moreover, Su Mingxin was unwilling to let Dongfang Che adopt a child of the royal family. She still hoped to have her own child to inherit Dongfang Che's throne.
…
Wushuang had no idea what the concubines in the harem were thinking, but her life was pretty good.
When Dongfang Che was busy, she would entertain herself and ask someone to find some books to read to pass the time.
She is such a good studious person.
System 2754: "..." Host, can you please have some self-awareness?
"Your Majesty has arrived—"
Wushuang was reading a book when he heard the voice of the young eunuch.
Hearing that it was Dongfang Che coming, Wushuang put down the book and was about to go to meet him when his figure appeared in front of her.
"My beloved." Dongfang Che came in and saw the beauty lying on her side. His heart moved. He walked up quickly, sat beside her and held her hand.
"My beloved, what are you doing?" Dongfang Che asked.
"I'm reading." Wushuang smiled. "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs and can't accompany me, so I can only read and study."
"I hope to learn more so that when Your Majesty comes to visit me, I can follow your words."
"What if I don't understand what Your Majesty is saying and Your Majesty no longer likes me?" Wushuang leaned weakly into Dongfang Che's arms and said.
"My beloved concubine is thoughtful. How could I not like you?" Dongfang Che smiled and touched her hair. "I like my beloved concubine very much."
"Your Majesty~" Wushuang said shyly.
Dongfang Che likes this delicate and soft beauty very much, mainly because they are very compatible in bed.
He didn't expect that his concubine was so to his liking.
"Does my beloved miss me?" Dongfang Che asked.
"I miss you~" Wushuang raised her face and kissed his chin, "I miss your majesty~"
Dongfang Che was so aroused by her that he couldn't help but pick her up and walked towards the bed.
"My beloved misses me so much, I really can't let her down."
"Your Majesty~ It's not dark yet~"
"It's alright, it's already evening."
…
Wushuang's life in the palace is very comfortable. The concubines in the harem do not need to pay their respects to her every day, so they will not come to disturb her easily.
She usually stays in Yunqi Palace. As a pomegranate spirit that has been rooted in the ground for thousands of years, she is very comfortable staying there.
I was really bored, so I went out for a walk in the Imperial Garden. There was nothing bad going on.
Because there were no children in the harem, Dongfang Che had few opportunities to enter the palace, and the concubines were all quite well-behaved.
Of course there are palace fighting tactics, but Dongfang Che and the Queen Mother are not stupid.
One is the champion of the previous palace fight, and the other is the champion of the succession war. Isn't it showing off one's skills in front of an expert to play tricks under the noses of the mother and son?
Because the concubines got along quite harmoniously, Wushuang's life was quite comfortable.
On this day, after Dongfang Che finished his work, he called Wushuang over to have dinner with him.
Wushuang thought that the emperor's meals must be different from hers, so she happily went to eat with him.
"What would you like to eat, my beloved concubine?" Dongfang Che was in a good mood as he looked at the young and beautiful concubine whose eyes lit up when she saw something delicious.
"I want to eat this... Ugh..." Wushuang was just about to taste the delicious food on the table, but after smelling a greasy and fishy smell, she couldn't help feeling nauseous.
"My beloved concubine?" Dongfang Che was a little surprised to see Wushuang like this. What happened? Did my imperial meal make her so disgusted?
"Yue..." Wushuang covered his mouth, looking like he was about to vomit.
Dongfang Che frowned at her discomfort, turned around and ordered, "Go get the imperial physician."
Cao Fu looked at Wushuang and had a guess in his mind, so he ran out to ask the imperial physician.
