Chapter 147: United We Stand



Princess Yingduo was sent back to the palace. She gritted her teeth and sat beside the bed and said, "Just wait. Sooner or later, I will make you kneel at my feet and beg me."

Just when the emperor had not yet decided who to marry, an unexpected event suddenly happened in the palace.

No one had ever expected that the emperor would favor Princess Yingduo, so the princess who was supposed to marry the prince became the emperor's woman.

The emperor even wanted to confer the title of Concubine Ying on Princess Yingduo, which caused an uproar in the harem and aroused dissatisfaction among many people.

Lin Zhan's jaw dropped when he heard about this, and he said in disbelief, "What? It's only been two days, how come the princess has become a concubine?"

"Miss, I heard that the emperor got drunk and accidentally broke into the princess' palace. That's why it happened. I heard that under the pressure of the envoys from Nanzhao, the emperor had to confer the princess as Yingfei."

Bixia told Lin Zan all the gossip she had heard, and Lin Zan was stunned. Although this matter had nothing to do with her, she still found it very strange.

After all, since Lin Zan appeared, the plot in the original book has undergone a lot of changes, but she never expected that the princess who was supposed to marry Jun Anqing would actually become the emperor's concubine.

For a moment, Lin Zhan began to wonder, what if something irreversible happened because of her changes to the original book's plot?

This made Lin Zhan a little worried, but soon he received a message from the Queen. Lin Zhan packed up and went to the Queen's Kangfu Palace.

At this moment, all the concubines in the palace gathered together, even Concubine Qin, who had always been in confrontation with the Queen, was there. It seemed that Princess Yingduo's incident had made everyone feel dangerous.

"Empress, the Emperor is so foolish about this matter. How could he make that princess the consort?" One of the concubines couldn't help it any longer and cried to Liu Qiuchan.

Ever since Concubine Qin saw Princess Yingduo's dance that day, she clearly noticed that the emperor's eyes looked a little strange.

At that time, she had a feeling of uneasiness in her heart, but she never expected that this feeling of uneasiness would actually come true.

Liu Qiuchan also had a headache at the moment. Seeing Lin Zan coming, she asked her to sit aside.

While the concubines were arguing, Lin Zan also knew that the gossip that Bixia had heard was totally inaccurate.

It turned out that Princess Yingduo intentionally lured the drunk emperor to her palace, and then accepted the emperor's favor.

In addition, as the emperor grew older, he developed a lustful problem, and Princess Yingduo was as beautiful as a flower, so the emperor naturally couldn't help but be delighted and added her into the harem.

The previous rumors were spread by Liu Qiucan out of consideration for the emperor's face, but the truth was known to everyone in the harem.

"A foreigner has become the emperor's concubine. I'm sure the ministers will not agree." Liu Qiuchan said with a serious look.

The concubines all agreed. "That's right, sisters, go back to the palace and send a message home. We must make sure that the emperor gives up the idea of ​​making this foreign princess his concubine."

This time, the jealous concubines in various palaces directed their attacks at Princess Yingduo for the first time.

The Emperor has not yet issued the decree to confer the title of Consort Ying on Princess Yingduo. Everything can still be reversed, but the court is also in shock and unrest.

When the ministers learned of the emperor's intention, they all knelt down and begged the emperor to reconsider.

After all, no matter how favored a woman is, she should be promoted step by step despite her noble status. How could she be promoted directly to the position of concubine like Princess Yingduo?

But what no one expected was that the emperor seemed to be possessed. He angrily rebuked the ministers' advice and insisted on making Princess Yingduo his consort.

After the morning court session, Lin Zan also heard the news. Some loyal ministers even knelt outside the hall, begging the emperor to change his mind.

"Does the emperor really have no intention of changing his mind?" Lin Zan asked Bixia with a frown.

Bixia shook her head. "Now there are people kneeling outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, even the Crown Prince is kneeling there, but the Emperor has no intention of changing his mind."

Hearing that Jun Beiqi was also kneeling outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Lin Zan frowned even more tightly. Although the previous emperor was not very wise, he was not someone who would not listen to the advice of his ministers.

Why is he so determined to make Princess Yingduo the Yingfei this time?

Lin Zan felt that this matter was suspicious, so he hurried to Liu Qiuchan's palace, wanting to know more about the inside story.

But something even more unexpected happened. Princess Yingduo was also there. Although she had not yet been named a concubine, she was favored by the Emperor and came to pay homage to the Queen.

For a moment, all the concubines in the hall looked very ugly. After Lin Zan entered, she looked at the atmosphere in the hall and sat obediently next to Liu Qiuchan.

Concubine Qin looked at Princess Yingduo with a pair of cold eyes and said bluntly, "You just used some seductive tricks to climb into the emperor's bed, and you come here to show off so soon. Do you think this is your Nanzhao?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I dare not do that. It is the Emperor who asked me to come here, and I dare not not come." When Liu Qiuchan heard that Princess Yingduo called herself a concubine even though she had not been officially canonized yet, her face turned cold.

Just when Liu Qiuchan wanted to say something, the chief eunuch beside the emperor arrived with the decree to confer the title of concubine.

"The emperor really ignored the ministers kneeling outside the palace and insisted on making Princess Yingduo his consort." Liu Qiuchan stood up and said in disbelief.

The eunuch didn't say anything, but handed the imperial edict in his hand to Liu Qiuchan.

Although the canonization of concubines in the harem was issued by the emperor, it had to be stamped with Liu Qiuchan's phoenix seal to be recognized by the queen mother, and Princess Yingduo could legitimately enter the harem.

Lin Zan, who was standing behind her, clearly saw Liu Qiuchan's body shake. He knew how much harm this was to her, but he didn't know what to say.

Finally, Liu Qiuchan still took the imperial edict, but she did not stamp it with her phoenix seal. Instead, she took off her gorgeous clothes, took off the queen's phoenix crown, put on plain clothes, held the imperial edict in her hand, and said with a determined look on her face.

"Since the emperor insists on having his own way, I cannot stand by and watch him make the same mistake again and again."

After she finished speaking, Liu Qiuchan knelt down in the direction of the emperor's study.

As soon as the queen knelt, all the concubines in the palace naturally knelt down as well, with firm expressions on their faces.

Only Princess Yingduo, who was standing behind them, had a sneer on her face and looked at everyone's actions with disdain.
