Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

These concubines all have their own families. Although they are in the palace, they will not have any influence on the power in the court. However, they live a very wealthy life in the palace. Not only do they not need to be subsidized by their families, but they often send some special good things to their families, which makes their families dare not look down on them.

The nieces, nephews and sisters-in-law in the family often came to the palace, bringing more fun to these lonely concubines.

The concubines have now come to terms with it. They originally thought that their lives would be extremely miserable, but unexpectedly, except for the absence of men, their lives are actually happier and freer than they imagined.

Without the man that everyone was fighting for, the concubines in the palaces no longer opposed each other and were jealous of each other.

Originally, the concubines of higher ranks always thought about how to gain favor and suppress other concubines, and how to give birth to more princes and princesses to consolidate their own status.

Concubines of low rank lived in fear every day. They had to think about how to protect themselves and avoid being assassinated by other concubines, and they had to rack their brains to win the emperor's favor and find ways to get pregnant with the emperor's child.

Being a favored concubine, she also has to take care of her natal family and ask the emperor to give her natal family more rights.

The role of a concubine is to balance the forces of all parties in the court.

Whether the emperor really loves a concubine or not, which concubine he favors and which concubine he neglects, it is not arbitrary. It is just a means to balance the forces of all parties in the court.

Therefore, the concubines in the palace will never be happy in their lives. The emperor, princes and princesses also have a hard time. They have to prevent mutual harm from their relatives at all times.

Nowadays, the princes have all been given fiefs and sent there by the emperor. They live their lives behind closed doors. The concubines of the princes have also left the palace with their sons.

Those young concubines didn't want to waste their lives in the palace and live as widows? They had already returned to their parents' homes with the emperor's permission.

Moreover, the emperor has already ordered that if they are willing to marry again, the emperor will not stop them. However, the concubines who are not married can receive monthly salary after returning to their parents' home. If they are married, they will not receive this treatment. If they marry and become the wife of someone else, the emperor will no longer have any obligations to them.

The concubines left in the palace are all middle-aged women. They have no children, no reliable families, and no intention of marrying again.

Regardless of whether they have ever been favored by the emperor, at least they now have no worries about food and clothing, with clothes to wear and food to eat provided for them.

If she were to marry into any family as the emperor's divorced concubine, she would be criticized by others.

They have reached a certain age and don't want to go through so much trouble anymore.

They think clearly and see things clearly. The wives of officials live a glamorous life on the surface, but they have to endure humiliation in their hearts.

They have to respect their parents-in-law, raise a bunch of illegitimate children, and maintain good relations with their sisters-in-law and uncles. In the backyard, they also have to suppress and appease the concubines and aunts taken in by their husbands.

Even if they were the legitimate wives of officials and gave birth to legitimate sons and daughters, their future lives might not be as comfortable as those in the palace.

They had seen countless wives of officials worrying about the rest of their lives, and they didn't dare to gamble on a future that was 90% unhappy and 10% happy.

Ever since the emperor gave the concubines freedom, they just wanted to spend the rest of their lives in the palace in peace.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan took great care of them, which made these concubines feel at ease to continue living in the palace.

Because the crown prince, the crown princess and the emperor's grandchildren are the future rulers of Beichuan. With them always taking care of them and ensuring everyone's stable life, the concubines don't have to worry about the future.
