I traveled through time and space to become the mistress of a royal palace. My daily routine is to a

Doctor Jiang's chest heaved violently. He was the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and this was the first time he had suffered such a great humiliation.

"Doctor Jiang, just do as Song Qingwan says."

"Your humble servant obeys the emperor's order." The emperor has spoken, and Doctor Jiang has to endure it no matter how unhappy he is.

"It's getting late. You should stay in the palace today." The emperor looked at him with an ambiguous look.

"I obey your order. I can stay here with the Queen Mother. If you have any questions, please come over as soon as possible."

The emperor looked somewhat displeased. He frowned and stared at Song Qingwan, seeming very dissatisfied.

"Brother, I will also stay with Mother tonight, so let Qing Wan accompany me. You can rest assured."

The eldest princess naturally understood the emperor's intention. He wanted to marry Song Qingwan directly. Even a fool could see that the emperor treated Song Qingwan differently today.

"Okay, Jiayi, you stay here and the Queen and I will go back first."

"Farewell, Brother and Sister-in-law"

Song Qingwan also followed suit and bowed, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief when the emperor walked away.

"Thank you, Princess, for rescuing me."

"I didn't expect my brother to have such thoughts. Qingwan, I am also responsible for this matter."

The eldest princess looked guilty. If she had not suggested that Song Qingwan treat the empress dowager, how could the emperor have been able to see Song Qingwan?

"I dare to ask if the princess has any solution to this problem?"

Song Qingwan didn't want to flatter someone uselessly. This matter was indeed the eldest princess's fault. If it weren't for her status not allowing it, the two of them would have been in a big fight.

"Don't worry, I won't let my brother take you into the harem."

"Thank you princess."

Song Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the princess said so, it would definitely be done.

The next day, the emperor did not let Song Qingwan leave the palace. He asked Song Qingwan to stay in the palace to take care of the empress dowager on the grounds that she had not yet recovered.

Pang Shi, Xia Zhu and Qiu Rong, who were in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, were extremely anxious after hearing the news.

"Madam, what should I do? I asked the master to plead for the eldest lady, but he ignored me."

Xia Zhu was about to cry. Ever since her life was saved by the eldest lady, she swore to be loyal to the lady and the eldest lady for the rest of her life. However, she was powerless and could not help.

"Why did Sister Xia ask him to do that? If he was willing to consider the eldest lady, he would stop her before she entered the palace." Qiu Rong said hatefully.

"You two are both so thoughtful. I will never agree to this. I will bring Wan'er back even at the risk of my life."

Pang clenched her hands, her face full of determination and fearlessness. No one in the Pang family is afraid of death!

Pang asked Baocui to take out her imperial robe. Since she was conferred the title of a first-rank imperial lady, she rarely wore this robe. Now, she was willing to give it up for her daughter.

Pang Shi did not take a carriage, but rode a horse all the way to the gate of the palace.

Although the guards at the door were not familiar with Pang Shi, they recognized her clothes, so Pang Shi entered the palace smoothly and came to the queen's bedroom.

"I'm Pang, your humble servant, and would like to see the Queen." Pang lifted her robe and knelt outside the palace.

"Madam, please wait a moment. I will go and report right away." The eunuch at the door was also a perceptive man and hurried in to report.

After a while, the eunuch came out and told Pang to come into the hall.

Pang Shi walked up to the queen and bowed deeply, knocking her head deeply to the ground.

"Your humble servant Pang pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

The queen sat lazily in the main seat, drinking tea leisurely. She picked up the cup lid with her armored fingers and flicked the tea leaves, then looked like she had just seen Pang Shi.

"Oh, it's Lingyan. Hurry up, there's no need for us to be polite."

"Thank you, empress."

Pang Shi shook her head in her heart. No matter how many years some people have been queens, their minds are still so narrow. It is true that it is difficult to change one's nature.

"It's been so many years since we last met. You're still as charming as ever."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary woman in the backyard. How can I compare to the elegance and grace of the Queen?"

The queen seemed to be very pleased with Pang Shi's words. She gently put down the teacup and sat up straight.

"Why did you come to see me today?"

"Your Highness, I would like to ask for your help so that my daughter Qingwan can go home with me."

"Oh? I thought that since the emperor summoned Song Qingwan to the palace, you should have expected that the emperor would have this idea."

"Your Highness, forgive me for being so bold. I have always believed that Qing Wan would marry Prince Yu."

"I did want to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I was attracted to your second daughter, Song Yunshuang. Who knew she would ruin her reputation by committing suicide."

"But Yunshuang is not my biological daughter, and Wan'er is the only legitimate daughter in the Prime Minister's Mansion." Pang raised her head and met the Queen's eyes with a pleading look.

There was a hint of sarcasm on the queen's lips. Pang Lingyan, you have come to this day!

Who was Pang Lingyan back then? She was the most talented woman in the capital. Not only was she beautiful, she was also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and she also had great martial arts skills.

The queen at that time had already married Zhao Yuanrui, who was then the crown prince. However, since Zhao Yuanrui saw Pang Lingyan hunting in a hunting ground in the suburbs, he fell in love with her at first sight.

It would have been fine if he had just taken a concubine, but Pang Lingyan vowed not to be a concubine. Zhao Yuanrui once threatened to remarry the Crown Princess. If the late emperor had not stopped Zhao Yuanrui's nonsense, the queen would be her, Pang Lingyan, now.

It is impossible for the queen not to hate her. Pang Lingyan, who was once as proud as the sun, is now kneeling at her feet as humbly as dust. This makes the queen very happy.

"It's true that Song Qingwan is your biological daughter, but that girl has been raised in the countryside since she was a child. She has no rules and regulations. How can she be Jun'er's legitimate wife?"

"So the Queen means that she is unwilling to help with this, right?" Pang Lingyan knelt straight up and her eyes regained calmness.

"I'll try to persuade you, you go back and wait for news." The queen resumed her lazy sitting posture and waved her hand to signal Pang Shi that she could leave.

"Yes, I will take my leave."

Pang Lingyan walked out of the Queen's bedroom in a daze. She didn't know how she got back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Was her daughter going to accept her fate like this?

What is the harem? Although Pang Shi herself had not experienced the cruelty of palace fighting, she had heard a lot about it. Today the emperor can pamper you to the sky, but tomorrow he can take your life.

Since ancient times, emperors have been the most ruthless. Women are nothing more than playthings to them and tools for passing on the family line. How could Pang Shi be willing to let her only daughter go to such a place where people are eaten?

"If there is really no other way, I can only ask my father to step in." Pang's nails dug deeply into the flesh, wondering if Master Pang's stepping in would be able to turn the situation around?

The eldest princess on the other side was naturally not idle either. She took the initiative to call Zhao Yujun over.

"Jun'er, are you willing to marry Song Qingwan?"

"Aunt, why do you ask this?"

"Your father wants to take Song Qingwan as his concubine and has kept her in the harem for seven days. I believe that once your grandmother can get out of bed, he will favor her and make her his concubine."

"Is this true? Are you serious, aunt? Why would father do this?" Zhao Yujun was shocked.

"He is the emperor. He can marry any woman he likes. Who dares to say no?" The eldest princess looked worried.

"Aunt, do you want me to marry Song Qingwan to end my father's thoughts?"

"Yes, would you?"

Zhao Yujun was silent. It wasn't that he didn't want to marry Song Qingwan. After several contacts, he did have a good impression of Song Qingwan.

In addition, Song Qingwan is the only bloodline of the Grand Tutor's Mansion and the only legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so her status is naturally worthy of her. However, he is still a little hesitant when it comes to competing with his father for a woman.

"Jun'er, time waits for no one. You must make a decision as soon as possible. You should understand the power behind Song Qingwan."

"What my aunt said, my nephew will naturally understand."

By marrying Song Qingwan, the Pang family will be Prince Yu's helper, and the Pang family army will naturally be his in the future. It can be said that there are many benefits to marrying Song Qingwan.

But now the emperor has fallen in love with Song Qingwan, who is the ruler of a country. If he steps forward to ask for her, he will be going against the emperor. Will the emperor dislike him?

Prince Yu made great contributions in the relief of the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and now the emperor values ​​him very much.

Zhao Yujun suddenly remembered that Song Yunshuang had told him not to marry Song Qingwan because Song Qingwan would be his disaster and would ruin his future.

The eldest princess sighed. She knew that this marriage would not be possible. She also understood that the emperor's sister-in-law would not agree to her son marrying Pang Lingyan's daughter.

In the end, Prince Yu refused the marriage on the grounds that he did not dare to disobey his father, and the eldest princess expressed her understanding.

Many years later, Zhao Yujun thought about his decision and regretted it deeply. He just pushed his wife to someone else.

Just when everyone thought that Song Qingwan would definitely be taken into the harem, Zhao Huaijin knelt in the imperial study.

"Father, I want to marry Song Qingwan. Please approve it."

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and looked deeply at his son, who was a little immature but had a determined look on his face.

"You must marry her? I can suggest a better match for you. The daughter of Minister Zhong, Zhong Xuejiao, is beautiful and talented..."

"I want Song Qingwan! I beg you, father, to grant us marriage!"

Zhao Huaijin knocked his head deeply to the ground. How could he watch Song Qingwan marry someone else?
