"Yeah, I understand."
Zhu Xianyue stood up and stretched his muscles.
It was already late at night.
The only two maids serving her, Lamei and Dongju, went to rest early.
Even dinner was not prepared for her.
Zhu Xianyue touched her rumbling stomach and stomped her feet in anger.
As soon as he arrived, he was reduced to a situation where he was bullied by a dog in a deserted place!
Humph, wait until she becomes the queen, and see how she will deal with these two servants who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak!
…
Now in Xiao Jingyi's harem, Queen He Xuanrong is the most respected.
He Xuanrong's mother's family was not very powerful, and her father was far away in Jingzhou, but she was the legal wife given to Xiao Jingyi by the late emperor.
Further down is the imperial concubine Gao Zemei.
Gao Zhemei's younger brother is a great hero who pacified the Huns. He is now in the emperor's favor, and Gao Zhemei has also risen to prominence. Even if she has no children, she can still sit firmly on the position of imperial concubine.
Next came Concubine De and Concubine Shu.
Among the concubines, there are Concubine Yun, Zhu Xianyue (Concubine Zhu) and Princess Beiliang (Concubine Yue).
Further down the line, there are even more concubines.
But what’s the point of having more women?
This year marks the sixth year since Xiao Jingyi ascended the throne, and the people in the harem still have no children.
Yesterday, the ministers of the previous dynasty proposed that Xiao Jingyi make the nineteenth prince Xiao Hexuan the crown prince, which made Xiao Jingyi very angry.
The current empress dowager is not Xiao Jingyi's biological mother.
Xiao Jingyi's biological mother was just a palace maid beside the empress dowager. The late emperor mistook her for the empress dowager when he was drunk, and that's how Xiao Jingyi was born.
The Queen Mother pretended to be benevolent and took Xiao Jingyi to her side to raise him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he approached Xiao Jingyi's biological mother and caused her to die of postpartum weakness and infection.
If the Empress Dowager's biological son Xiao Hexuan had not been only five months old when the previous emperor passed away, she would never have supported Xiao Jingyi as emperor.
Tonight, Xiao Jingyi was worried.
I drank a few more glasses.
Afterwards, he did not allow anyone to follow him and came to the Imperial Garden alone.
At the same time, Zhu Xianyue, guided by the blood jade bracelet, also sneaked out of the palace to "accidentally meet" Xiao Jingyi.
…
Everyone has a white moonlight, and Xiao Jingyi is no exception.
The person he loved was Jin Pianran, a talented woman who was famous throughout the Yong Dynasty.
The first time Xiao Jingyi met Jin Pianran was when Jin Pianran rescued a white cat with an injured leg in the snow.
He was moved by her kindness and gentleness.
But at that time, he was living in dire straits.
The competition among the princes is fierce, and dangers are lurking around them.
He envied Jin Pianran's ignorance of the world, so he developed a desire to protect her.
Later, Jin Pianran was appointed as the Crown Princess to his third brother who had been named the Crown Prince.
But the third brother is ten years older than Jin Pianran.
Xiao Jingyi was even willing to support his third brother instead of fighting for the throne for Jin Pianran.
But his third brother was stupid and believed the slander, so he distanced himself from him and was found to have made the imperial robe privately.
The late emperor hated most anyone who had the intention of rebellion, let alone that this person was his own son.
He stripped his third brother of his yellow belt and demoted him to a commoner.
The third brother could not bear the humiliation, so he drank a cup of poisoned wine and ended his life.
Jin Pianran, the Crown Princess, unexpectedly hit her head on her third brother's coffin and died with him.
The unreachable white moonlight turned into a cinnabar mole in the instant after death.
It is a pain that can never be erased from Xiao Jingyi's heart.
Not sure if it was his illusion, but Xiao Jingyi always felt that there was a "white kitten" swaying in front of him.
"……lightly?"
No, it couldn't be her.
Jin Pianran has been dead for more than ten years.
Who is that?
Xiao Jingyi followed Jin Pianran's example and went to check.
