Outside the palace, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Gu Qianlei, who had just returned from duty, asked as soon as he entered the room, "Madam, has not had your meal yet?"
The butler who greeted the Prime Minister answered honestly, "Madam said she wanted to punish herself and didn't want to eat."
Gu Qianlei sighed, "She's not punishing herself, she's punishing me."
"Forget it, I'll go see her."
The backyard, the courtyard of the Prime Minister's wife.
"Madam, please eat something. The eldest lady has been in the palace for a long time. It's a done deal. You can't joke with your own body even if you are angry with the master." Madam Gu's personal maid said with concern.
"What to eat..." Mrs. Gu said weakly, "I'm already full of anger, what else can I eat..."
"My Wushuang... My poor Wushuang..." Mrs. Gu was extremely sad.
Her precious daughter, whom she had raised carefully for sixteen years, was sent to the palace by the old man to serve others.
Her precious daughter was destined to enjoy a happy life, so how could she be made to serve others?
So what if she's an imperial concubine?
If she is not a queen, then she is still a concubine.
Her precious daughter should obviously be the legal wife.
"His Majesty is nearly thirty years old, yet he doesn't even have a daughter. None of his concubines have even gotten pregnant... Who knows if he's infertile?"
"My Wushuang... My poor Wushuang..." Mrs. Gu felt heartbroken when she thought of her daughter going into the palace to be a widow.
"Madam." Gu Qianlei heard his wife's complaints as soon as he entered the room. He quickly stepped forward and waved his hand to drive all the maids out.
He sat on the bed and looked at his wife.
The lady went on a hunger strike a few days after her daughter entered the palace. If he hadn't forced her to drink ginseng soup and chicken soup, she wouldn't have known how weak she was.
Mrs. Gu saw him coming and turned away in disgust. "What are you doing here, old man? You sent my Jiaojiao away, so why are you here?"
"Madam." Gu Qianlei looked at her and said helplessly, "Madam, I have explained to you that Wushuang entering the palace has advantages and no disadvantages."
"How on earth can you figure it out?"
"Benefits, no disadvantages? How dare you say that?" Madam Gu turned angrily and scolded him, "Everyone knows that His Majesty is childless. If you send Wushuang into the palace, her life will be ruined."
"My Wushuang, how can you bear to be a widow for the rest of her life? She is your daughter." Mrs. Gu accused.
"Madam." Gu Qianlei held her hand and said, "His Majesty has only one child so far, not that he is inhumane. Our Wushuang will not be left as a widow."
"Isn't that different?" Madam Gu asked, "For you men, is there any difference between giving birth to a child and being inhumane?"
Gu Qianlei: "..."
"My Wushuang..." Mrs. Gu was overwhelmed with grief when she thought of her daughter and couldn't help crying.
Gu Qianlei looked at her like this, wiped her tears and sighed, "Madam, you also know our Wushuang's appearance, is that something an ordinary family can keep?"
Of course Mrs. Gu knew.
A stunning appearance would be a disaster if it were not protected by a strong background.
Just like when she was young, although not as stunningly beautiful as her daughter, she was also a great beauty.
Before she married Gu Qianlei, her family background was not prominent, and many people who coveted her looks wanted to attack her and her family.
If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet Gu Qianlei, who was a good person, she and her family would have ended up in a miserable situation.
She certainly knows the stakes.
But when it comes to her daughter, she only hopes that she can be happy, marry the person she loves, and have a few children.
The main reason is that the emperor cannot have children.
If the emperor could have children, Mrs. Gu would not be so opposed.
Even if her daughter could not sit on the throne of queen and could not always receive the emperor's favor, having a child would at least guarantee her a stable life for the rest of her life.
But who made Dongfang Che unable to have children?
Seeing that she was somewhat persuaded, Gu Qianlei continued, "Madam, our Wushuang is so beautiful. If she doesn't enter the palace and become your majesty's concubine, then she won't be able to live in peace no matter who she marries."
"Entering the palace and becoming His Majesty's concubine, at least she has status and position, and won't be bullied."
"You tell me, should all the ladies of high rank bow to our Wushuang when they see her, or should she bow to others?"
After hearing this, Madam Gu subconsciously said, "Of course they are the ones who saluted Wushuang."
She is unparalleled and deserves the best.
Why should others ask her family's Wushuang to bow?
"With our Wushuang's appearance and her status as a husband, even if Wushuang can't always be favored in the palace, she won't be bullied."
"Don't torture yourself any more. You've ruined your body. His Majesty has granted you permission to visit Wushuang in the palace. What if you fall ill and can't go?"
"Don't you want to see Wushuang?"
Madam Gu said, "How could I not want to see Wushuang?"
She gave birth to several children, and the most precious one was Wushuang because she was so beautiful and she was also her only daughter.
She was very worried when her daughter entered the palace.
How could she not want to have the chance to enter the palace to see her daughter?
"Madam, it's good that you figured it out." Gu Qianlei felt relieved to see that she was more energetic. He hoped that she could really listen to him and stop tormenting herself.
Mrs. Gu really listened to Gu Qianlei's words.
The matter is done. It's good that my daughter becomes a royal concubine. At least from now on, she won't have to bow to anyone except the emperor and the empress dowager.
As for the other imperial concubine in the palace, Su?
She was on the same level as her Wushuang. Why should her Wushuang bow to her? Because she entered the palace a few years earlier than Wushuang? Because she was older than Wushuang?
Thinking of her daughter, Mrs. Gu cheered herself up and took good care of her health.
A month later——
In the palace.
"Quick, ask the imperial physician to come and see the imperial concubine." Dongfang Che shouted at Cao Fu.
Cao Fu quickly went out to find someone to invite the imperial physician.
The imperial physician is the one who treats the emperor specifically. Ordinary doctors cannot be called "imperial physicians."
His Majesty really values the Imperial Concubine, and he is even willing to call his own imperial physician to treat her.
"Your Majesty...I feel so uncomfortable..." Wushuang looked weak and pitiful, and her peach blossom eyes looked at him with watery eyes.
Dongfang Che reached out and held her in his arms, patted her back and said, "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Do you just want to vomit?"
"Your Majesty, that smells so bad~" Wushuang said coquettishly, pointing at a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall on the table.
The emperor's royal meal is of course the best. The ingredients of Dongfang Che's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall are much better than the one Wushuang ordered before.
But now Wushuang doesn't like the taste of it very much.
Dongfang Che frowned as he looked at the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and ordered, "Take this dish away."
Seeing how considerate he was, Wushuang happily nuzzled his chest and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you are so kind to me~"
Dongfang Che looked at her and said, "Well, I treat you well."
