The most romantic little emperor

After the introduction, Wang Yourong stepped forward, held Emperor Taizong's bony hand, and whispered to comfort him, "Father, please rest assured that these sisters and I will support each other and live in harmony, and together we will continue your bloodline and add more princes and princesses to the royal family."

Her voice was gentle and firm, as if she expressed what Emperor Taizong wished.

Emperor Taizong looked at Wang Yourong, with a trace of relief and emotion in his eyes. He knew that it was a blessing for the prince to have such a virtuous princess by his side.

He panted and said, "My son, I have approved these daughters-in-law. You must treat each of them well."

Qin Hao lowered his head and looked at his father, and replied respectfully: "Father, I will definitely remember your instructions, live up to their deep love, and will not let you down."

Emperor Taizong waved his hand to them and said gently, "You can leave first. We, father and son, will have a few more words."

"Yes! Father!"

Wang Yourong led the women to respectfully perform the palace etiquette, and then slowly left, looking back every few steps.

After they left their sight, Emperor Taizong slowly said, "After a hundred years, my son will inherit the throne. Wang Yourong should be made queen, in charge of the six palaces, and the mother of the country. Zhu Qiqi should be made imperial concubine, assisting the queen. As for the other women, you can reward them as you see fit!"

"My son obeys the order!"

Qin Hao agreed without hesitation.

"Back off! I want some peace and quiet!"

Emperor Taizong waved his hand, signaling Qin Hao to leave.

Qin Hao did not forget to remind him: "Father, the concubines and the civil and military officials are still waiting outside. Do you want to see them or not?"

"No, let Gao Lishi convey my will and tell you that you can't hold back while I am still alive."

"Your son obeys my order!"

Qin Hao and Gao Lishi smiled at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, and then he gently pulled the quilt for Emperor Taizong.

Then, the two of them walked out of the bedroom calmly.

The two men came to the main hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Gao Lishi read out Emperor Taizong's edict word for word.

As soon as he finished speaking, the civil and military officials were instantly in an uproar, talking about it and expressing their opinions.

Su Zhengfang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Eunuch Gao, what is the deep meaning of the emperor's action?"

Gao Lishi retorted bluntly, "Sir, others may be confused, but don't you understand the emperor's intention? I advise you to be wise and consider your own weight!"

There was an unquestionable authority and indifference in his words, as if it was a warning and reminder to Su Zhengfang and others.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhengfang couldn't help but frown, and an inexplicable sense of uneasiness and worry surged in his heart.

Dong Sicheng approached cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Lord Gao, does the emperor intend to summon all the civil and military officials?"

Gao Lishi frowned, snorted a cold laugh, and responded in a loud voice: "The emperor has ordered all the adults to retreat for the time being! Please go back!"

The ministers looked at each other, and no one was willing to leave first.

Qin Hao didn't frown. He glanced at everyone calmly and said in a deep voice, "My dear ministers, my father is in good health. There is no need to worry. Everyone return to their duties and disperse."

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to everyone else, walked through the crowd and headed towards the side hall.

At this time, the concubines were already in an uproar. They had learned that the emperor did not summon them, which was beyond everyone's expectation.

What is even more surprising is that the emperor actually met with Your Highness and his family. What signal does this send?

Could it be that the emperor has already started to guard against them and make plans for his funeral?

At this moment, they truly realized that the succession and transformation of imperial power was undoubtedly a huge storm for them, the women in the palace. If they were not careful, they would die without a burial place.

In this palace, there are some smart concubines who have already started planning a way out for themselves. They look at Wang Yourong with more awe than before.

Concubine Su and Concubine Dong frowned as they listened to the concubines' discussions. They looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

As the saying goes, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. This saying applies not only to ministers who hold great power and civil and military officials in the court, but also to the concubines in the harem.

Especially for those concubines who do not have a deep background, once the emperor passes away, their fate will be like fallen leaves, and they will no longer be able to control it themselves. The former glory and wealth will probably disappear overnight.

Some of them might even die young and be buried alive with Emperor Taizong. Even if they fail to be buried alive, they will probably be locked up deep inside the palace walls and live in darkness.

In addition, every time an emperor dies and a new emperor ascends the throne, these concubines will face a new test.

What the new emperor's attitude towards them will be and how their status will change are all unknown.

The change of power is like the changing situation in the palace, which is unpredictable.

These concubines had to carefully find their own foothold in this ever-changing palace, hoping that their fate would change one day.

And now, a new storm is coming. The emperor has not yet passed away, but there are already treacherous ministers who are secretly plotting against him.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have also been in danger, with assassinations and conspiracies following them like shadows.

If there really comes a day when the imperial power is passed on, who can guarantee that there will not be bloodshed in the palace again?

Intrigue and killing seem to have become the eternal melody in this palace.

If this happens, how many of these concubines will be able to have a good end?

The moment Qin Hao stepped into the side hall, all the concubines stopped talking and focused their attention on the prince.

It was the first time that Qin Hao felt so many women's strange gazes, as if he had become the focus of everyone's attention.

For a moment I felt a little awkward, as if I was not used to this sudden attention.

Qin Hao pretended to be calm and walked steadily in front of Concubine Su and Concubine Dong, but his heart was already surging.

However, just as he was about to speak, the two imperial concubines had already taken light lotus steps and led all the concubines in bowing deeply to him as a sign of respect.

This sudden and subtle change caught Qin Hao off guard.

Because, although these elegant and dignified women in front of him are not his biological mothers, they are all his elders and nominal aunts.

As the crown prince, Qin Hao was already accustomed to bowing his head in front of them, and then watching them return the greeting gracefully.

Today's situation was very different from usual. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he enjoyed it very much in his heart. He hurriedly returned the greeting respectfully.
