…
After this night, Zhu Xianyue was directly promoted from Shu Guiren to Shupin, and occupied the main seat in Lijingxuan.
Sheng Chengye actually wanted to find her a bigger place to live.
But Zhu Xianyue directly refused.
She said that this place contains the beautiful memories of her and Sheng Chengye.
In fact, it was just to make Sheng Chengye travel a long way to find her.
The more you give, the more you will cherish it.
Men are all a bit mean in nature.
The easier it is to get something, the less you value it.
…
Shupin Zhu Xianyue has become the new favorite in the harem.
Not only Sheng Chengye, but even Concubine Yi, who is now temporarily the mistress of the six palaces, is very partial to her.
There are many jealous people in the harem.
It would be fine if Zhu Xianyue really came from a noble family.
But she was born as a slave of the deposed empress, and was not even worthy of carrying their shoes, but now she wanted them to respectfully call her "Empress Shupin".
It’s so irritating that I can’t sleep!
But they didn't dare say much.
I can only feel unhappy in my heart.
The concubines were trapped within the palace walls all year round, and competition among them was inevitable.
Zhu Xianyue also understood.
But what she didn't expect was that this harem that didn't cause any trouble was not a threat, but there was a problem with Sheng Chengye's adopted son.
…
Sheng Hongxuan was the illegitimate son of the late emperor's second son.
Logically, he should call Sheng Chengye "Uncle".
The second master passed away early, leaving behind three legitimate sons and countless illegitimate sons.
Rumor has it that the second master died young because of excessive indulgence in sex.
Sheng Hongxuan's mother was just a helpless embroiderer.
When Sheng Chengye was choosing an heir, he would not be chosen based on his identity.
It was Sheng Hongxuan who risked his life to rush in front of Sheng Chengye, knelt down, kowtowed heavily, and then said: "Your Majesty, please give me a chance and let me be your son!"
He was only five years old at that time.
It is truly impressive that someone has such courage.
Sheng Chengye also tested his character.
The prince started his education at the age of five. Since Sheng Hongxuan was of low status, he stayed in his room the whole time.
When it comes to rituals, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy and mathematics, he is naturally no match for others.
But he has a tough character, is quick-witted and intelligent, and given time, he will surely become a great man.
When Sheng Hongxuan was chosen, his mother was already dying.
On her deathbed, she entrusted him to take good care of her sister, Bai Yuanling, Sheng Hongxuan's aunt.
The one who wants to stir up trouble in the harem is Bai Yuanling.
…
Yanqing Palace.
This is where Prince Sheng Hongxuan lives.
Everyone knew that Sheng Chengye had difficulty in having offspring, so Sheng Hongxuan was most likely the next emperor, so they respected him very much.
Sheng Hongxuan is not proud of this.
He cherishes this opportunity very much.
Work diligently every day, without daring to be idle or lazy. (Note: From the Book of Documents)
But his aunt Bai Yuanling didn't think so.
"Hong'er, the emperor has no children. The throne will be yours sooner or later. You don't have to work so hard."
"Speaking of which... the Emperor hasn't come to see you in half a month, nor has he summoned you. What do you think, should we take the initiative to see the Emperor?"
The warning to Sheng Hongxuan was false, the real intention was to see the emperor.
She is Sheng Hongxuan's aunt.
If she becomes Sheng Chengye's concubine again and registers Sheng Hongxuan under her own name, she will be the empress dowager in the future.
and……
A wandering monk once said that she had a fertility physique that was rare in a century.
If she could give birth to an heir to Sheng Chengye, there would be no place for his nephew Sheng Hongxuan.
