However, no one felt sorry for me.
You're just tying yourself up in knots.
…
Lu Tingchen has never been a kind person.
Although officials associated with Lu Jinrong changed sides at the critical moment, they had also had second thoughts.
All of them had their homes confiscated and were exiled.
It's just that he was spared the death penalty.
In the harem.
Concubine Shen was demoted to a commoner and died in a fire.
Concubine Lan's brother, who had contributed greatly to suppressing the rebellion against Prince Rong and remained loyal to the emperor, was promoted to the rank of First Rank General. Concubine Lan also benefited from this and was promoted to Noble Concubine Lan, in charge of the affairs of the six palaces.
When the palace coup took place, Concubine Rui stayed indoors and did not go out.
He even asked the palace maids to convert the gifts from the emperor into silver, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the palace with the princess.
Although it is human nature, Lu Tingchen still dislikes it.
If she had not given birth to a princess and had not given birth to many children, Lu Tingchen would have sentenced her to death long ago.
However, Concubine Rui was not having an easier time either.
She was imprisoned in Caiyin Palace, stripped of her title, and demoted to a commoner.
The silver obtained from selling the imperial gifts was given by Lu Tingchen to the princess.
He hardened his heart and handed the princess over to Concubine Lan to raise.
The princess loved her child deeply and often cried to her in the middle of the night.
Concubine Rui was also frightened and gradually became ill with heart disease, and was bedridden.
On the princess's fourth birthday, he took the princess's worn clothes and jumped into a well and died.
Zhu Xianyue regained her position as Concubine Yan.
What happened back then was something Concubine Shen forced Concubine Rui to do.
Concubine Rui is truly unfit to be a mother. She even had the heart to kill her own daughter.
Of the high-ranking concubines, only Concubine Lan and Zhu Xianyue were left in the palace.
Concubine Lan's brother is a first-rank general, and Zhu Xianyue has the merit of following the emperor to protect him.
However, Concubine Lan has a high position and is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces. She has a lot of experience and raised the princess, so her status is naturally higher than Zhu Xianyue.
Concubine Lan has always looked down on Zhu Xianyue, a native of Zhao.
Zhu Xianyue was also happy to have some peace and quiet.
…
Lu Tingchen was busy with state affairs.
After the Rong King Rebellion, there were many things that Lu Tingchen needed to do personally.
The harem was peaceful for a whole year.
The Wanshou Festival one year later.
It was Lu Tingchen’s twenty-fourth birthday.
He celebrated his 23rd birthday in Tianling Palace.
At that time, everyone thought he would die soon.
Lu Tingchen didn't plan to hold a big celebration for this birthday celebration.
It just so happened that Concubine Lan grew up in the border area since she was a child. As the daughter of a general, she loves to wield swords and guns.
He then instructed Concubine Lan that she could arrange an actor who could dance with a sword to entertain the ministers during the Emperor's Birthday Festival.
Concubine Lan was busy with the Emperor's Birthday Festival.
Lu Tingchen also asked her how the princess was doing recently.
Concubine Lan said vaguely, "The princess is fine. She eats well and sleeps well, but... she's a little lazy. I think it's because she's been with her biological mother for too long and has been spoiled."
"I will teach the princess well."
Lu Tingchen was very dissatisfied with her answer.
That night, they came to Zhu Xianyue's Fuyao Palace.
Zhu Xianyue couldn't count how many days and nights it had been since she last saw Lu Tingchen.
She really missed his...skills in bed.
whee.
Lu Tingchen said a few words to her with concern.
At night, needless to say.
After finishing, Zhu Xianyue caressed her warm belly.
When the time is right, she will get herself pregnant.
By then, Lu Tingchen will no longer be alone.
Lu Tingchen tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
He held her in his arms and asked, "Yue'er, what were you like as a child?"
Zhu Xianyue answered truthfully, "My father has eight daughters. I am not the most favored, but I bear the title of princess. This has caused some people to use this to humiliate me..."
As if bullying the princess can prove someone's nobility.
