Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me

Inside the palace.

The palace where Concubine Qi lived was called Yiku Palace. It was the most luxurious and grand palace in the harem except for Shoukang Palace where the empress dowager lived and Kunning Palace where the queen lived.

However, now that Queen Mother Jiang is obsessed with worshiping Buddha, Shoukang Palace is like half a Buddhist temple, while Queen Qin has been away from the palace for many years, Kunning Palace has become like a cold palace. Only Yiku Palace stands out and remains standing.

The ancestors of the Qi family were much more promising than they are now. Concubine Qi's grandfather was the tutor of the current emperor when he was still a prince. Concubine Qi followed her grandfather into the palace to be a companion to the princess since she was a child. She and the current emperor knew each other when they were young and they had a mutual affection for each other.

At that time, the late emperor even wanted to help the couple get married, but the Empress Dowager Jiang and the emperor gritted their teeth and refused to agree no matter what. They chose the Empress Dowager Jiang's niece as the principal wife, and Concubine Qi entered the palace as a concubine.

In fact, everything stems from an iron rule passed down from generation to generation by Emperor Taizu of Dashun.

At that time, the Jiang and Qin families jointly supported Emperor Taizu in establishing the Dashun Kingdom. Emperor Taizu issued an order that if the princes and grandchildren of the Dashun Dynasty wanted to inherit the throne, the empress they married could only be from the Jiang and Qin families.

If Concubine Qi had married the emperor as his principal wife at that time, the emperor would never be able to sit on this chair now.

Therefore, at that time, Queen Mother Jiang and the Emperor would never marry Concubine Qi as their principal wife.

Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, he always felt that he owed Concubine Qi. Even though he had replaced two empresses, he never treated Concubine Qi badly and gave her nearly thirty years of favor.

Concubine Qi was spoiled to an extreme. She was nearly fifty years old, but she still acted like a twenty-year-old girl. Last time, at a family banquet, the emperor just scolded her and Concubine Qi was sad for three days. She ignored the emperor and didn't enjoy her meal.

Just when she was feeling better after being coaxed into feeling better by the emperor, she heard the news that her own brother, Marquis Wenyuan, had been imprisoned and beheaded.

But all this was planned by her eldest son, and she was so angry that she couldn't sleep for two days.

But even though the Emperor dotes on her, he will never break the rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, and Concubine Qi knows this very well.

So Concubine Qi had no choice but to ask someone to call Prince Yao to the Yiku Palace and cry in front of her son.

Before winter even arrived, the Yikun Palace had already started burning underground fires.

Concubine Qi sat on the bed, leaning against a cushion, holding a handkerchief in her hand, her eyes red from crying: "Yao'er, that's your uncle! How could you bear it! When you were a child, he held you in his arms, have you forgotten, Yao'er......"

"Mother, please don't cry. I have told you many times that this is the best way!" Murong Yao sat by the bed, holding a bowl of warm soothing soup in his hand. He patiently scooped up a spoonful of the thick black soup and brought it to Concubine Qi's mouth:

"The dead cannot be resurrected, mother, don't be sad, drink the medicine and have a good sleep."

"I don't want to sleep!" Concubine Qi was so angry that she threw away the medicine bowl. Her only brother was gone, how could she sleep? She kept mumbling, "Yao'er, that's your uncle! Your only uncle! Do you still have any heart at all!"

King Yao didn't hold the tranquilizing soup in his hand firmly, so it spilled all over the bed and the floor, and even a few drops fell on his hands.

The medicine wasn't hot, but Yao's already pitifully little patience was gone in an instant, and his expression suddenly turned angry:

"Mother! The matter has already been settled. Why are you still making such a fuss at this time? Do you want me to die too to satisfy you?

"Okay, okay, I will do as you wish. I will tell my father that I did it all! I will ask my father to chop off my head!"

After this roar, Concubine Qi immediately stopped crying and stared at Prince Yao in a daze.

Seeing that King Yao was about to leave after he finished speaking, she suddenly became anxious again and reached out to pull him: "Yao'er! My son, don't go, that's not what your mother meant..."

Prince Yao was so happy after venting his anger that he took too big a step and accidentally dragged Concubine Qi to the ground. She screamed in shock. The palace servant outside immediately responded and asked, "Your Majesty? Is your Majesty okay?"

Prince Yao was worried at this moment. He shouted "Nothing happened" to the outside, and hurriedly turned around to help Concubine Qi: "Mother, mother, please get up quickly! Let's talk it over."

Concubine Qi was helped back to the bed by Prince Yao.

She was still crying, but this time she didn't dare to pull Prince Yao. Instead, she stretched out her hands to grab the quilt, her voice trembling: "Anyway, we just need to push someone out to take the blame, why must it be your uncle! This is the only brother that Mother has!"

Prince Yao's anger rose again. His mother did nothing but cry or show off in the harem. He had no idea what happened in the previous dynasty. Fortunately, his father doted on her, and by being filial to him, she could earn a reputation as a filial daughter in front of his father.

He took a deep breath, put away the violence in his eyes, put on a submissive look on his face, and explained patiently:

"Mother, you don't know that the things that happened in Jiangnan were done by cousin Qi Xun's sweetheart, Gu.

Therefore, if I want the emperor to believe me, the person who takes the blame for me must be either my uncle or my cousin. If it is someone else, not only the emperor, but also the civil and military officials in the court will not believe it.

My uncle took the initiative to take over because he felt sorry for my young cousin. Besides, the reason why that lady Gu was willing to work for me was because of my cousin.

If I had any other way, I would never ask my uncle to take the blame for me."

Concubine Qi blinked, not knowing how much she understood. As soon as she blinked, tears began to fall again: "...But, that's your uncle!"

King Yao suppressed his anger and advised:

"Don't worry, mother. I will personally go to pay tribute to my uncle on his death anniversary. When I take that position in the future, I will definitely vindicate my uncle and promote my cousin Qi Xun, okay?"

Concubine Qi let out a long sigh, and the confusion in her eyes dissipated a little. Suddenly she realized something was wrong and asked again, "Yao'er, are you saying that Gu is still alive? Did you save her life?!"

Murong Yao nodded and comforted Concubine Qi:

"She has some skills. Mother doesn't know that there is a salt shortage in Jingchu, and she knows how to make fine salt. I have no military support, so she...

Forget it, mother. I'm afraid you may find it boring to listen to what I say.

You just need to know that you raised me, so how could I intentionally hurt your mother's feelings?"

Concubine Qi's nose felt sore, and she couldn't help crying again, throwing herself into Prince Yao's arms: "My son! You are the apple of my eye! From now on, I will be counting on you..."

"OK OK."

Prince Yao's patience was almost exhausted again; Concubine Qi's crying made his head hurt.

He grabbed Concubine Qi's shoulders with both hands and pulled her away from him: "Mother, don't tell anyone what I said to you today, otherwise, your life will be in danger!"

Concubine Qi wiped her tears and said, "Mother knows, knows."

Prince Yao then stood up, bowed, said he had something else to arrange, and left the palace.

Concubine Qi sobbed and was comforted by Prince Yao. She felt that the pain of losing her brother was relieved a lot.

But I still feel empty in my heart.

She lost her temper for a while, and finally suddenly remembered that she still had a son: "Go and call the fourth prince into the palace. I am already ill, and this unfilial son doesn't even want to come and take care of me?"
