I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

This matter was very serious, but it was not the most important thing. Liu Zhirou forced herself to divert her thoughts from those illusory things. The fact that there might be a mastermind behind her time travel undoubtedly frightened and angered her.

But now she has no way to pose any threat to the possible mastermind behind the scenes, and it is even difficult for her to influence the other party. She can only continue to stay here quietly and figure out what she can rely on.

So Liu Zhirou continued to use the ghost in the house to eavesdrop on the disputes between the Queen, the Queen Mother and the Emperor. The Emperor had always insisted on wanting Ai Ziyi to be his concubine. Perhaps in his opinion, this simple and infatuated girl had always been deeply in love with him and there was nothing to blame her for.

However, in order to maintain the rules of the palace, the Queen and the Queen Mother insisted on not letting the two sides argue to the point of difficulty. Ai Ziyi took the initiative to ask, hoping that the Emperor would not make things difficult for her.

The emperor seemed very moved, so he granted him the residence in Qixiang Palace.

Qixiang Palace is a very luxurious palace in the entire harem. It has always been the residence of the imperial concubine. There is no imperial concubine in this dynasty, and this palace has been vacant. The emperor asked Ai Ziyi to live in this palace, and his appreciation for her was beyond words. The queen's face was very ugly, but she didn't argue with the emperor after all.

After all, the emperor had been ill for a long time, and his physical condition was still very worrying. He forced himself to speak to the three women and asked them to go back and rest. Ai Ziyi of course refused and insisted on staying here to take care of the emperor.

The Queen saw that Ai Ziyi was so dedicated to her duties as a concubine, and it was impossible for her to really abandon her husband to go back and rest. After the other concubines learned about this, they all came to the Queen's palace to visit the Emperor.

For a moment, the whole palace was as noisy as a vegetable market. At this moment, a child's sharp cry suddenly rang out.

"Is there something wrong with the eldest princess?" When Liangpin heard the call, she immediately thought of the eldest princess born to the queen.

She was not wrong. As expected, something happened to the eldest princess again. The queen hurriedly apologized to the empress dowager and the emperor and went to take care of the eldest princess.

"The eldest princess has a tragic fate. She was born the year the late emperor passed away. The empress suffered a lot in order to fulfill her filial piety. I had always thought that the child might not be born healthy. Who would have thought that the eldest princess was still strong, but unfortunately her mind was not clear and she often suffered from madness." The empress dowager looked at the empress's receding back and couldn't help sighing.

"But this is not a big deal. If the child was born in an ordinary family, he would have to suffer. But this is the royal family. I dare to say that even if the princess is not very sober, she is not someone that those ministers can despise." Liangpin squeezed next to the empress dowager with a smile and began to talk to her.

This Liangpin is something of an important figure. She is obviously the concubine with the longest seniority, yet she is still above the position of a concubine. She was almost surpassed by a newcomer, Ai Ziyi. She was not discouraged, nor did she show any resentment. Instead, she still had the kindest face possible. She first paid her respects to the Queen, then went over to chat with Ai Ziyi for a few words. Finally, she did not forget the Queen Mother and squeezed up to her without hesitation to get close to her.

"You are right." The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Liang and it was obvious that she didn't want to say more.

As the empress dowager, the most honorable woman in the entire palace, she seemed to instinctively dislike opportunistic people like Liangpin.

Liangpin was one of the few women in the entire palace who was wholeheartedly trying to win favor and fight for the emperor's favor. Unfortunately, this woman seemed to have always been unlucky. She had never aroused much interest from the emperor, nor had she been able to give birth to a child to rely on. So she had been hanging around in the palace for many years, and still looked like an indistinguishable person. If it were not for her kind appearance and very charismatic way of dealing with things, which left a deep impression on many palace people, she would have been almost a transparent person.

This time the emperor was accidentally injured, and she failed to grab the first share of the emperor's favor because she was timid and did not dare to disobey the queen's order. This was already frustrating enough, but now she absolutely could not be outdone by others again. Thinking of this, Liangpin's smile became more and more beautiful, and she did not care even if the empress dowager treated her coldly.

"I seem to have heard someone mention Zijin?" The emperor was very tired, but he was still trying hard not to fall asleep. At this time, he suddenly spoke, causing all the beautiful girls in the room to shut up immediately.

"Yes, I heard it too. The eldest princess seemed to have something to ask the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother has gone there." Ai Ziyi took this opportunity to step forward. She wanted to gain the Emperor's favor as soon as possible.

"Really? Today's incident was such a big deal, Zijin must be scared. Hurry up and bring her here for me to see." The emperor struggled to sit up. Ai Ziyi quickly reached out to support him and put a soft pillow behind him to prevent the emperor from catching a cold.

The emperor was the emperor after all. Although it was difficult for him to exercise his power when he was unconscious, once he woke up, his words would be the imperial decree. One of the eunuchs beside him immediately went out and tried to invite the eldest princess over.

After a while, several burly men grabbed the eldest princess's hands and feet and dragged her in front of the emperor.

Logically speaking, as the emperor's first surviving child, the eldest princess should not be treated like this. However, when everyone saw the eldest princess's appearance, they couldn't help but be shocked. How could she be considered a good child?

Everyone gathered around and saw that the eldest princess had many burn marks on her body, which were connected into one piece, and it was almost impossible to tell what she looked like. If it was just that, everyone might have felt pity for her, but the eldest princess was not very friendly. She tore and screamed, and the hands of the nanny who was controlling her were scratched and bleeding.

Seeing this, the timid concubines could not help but scream and fall to the ground.

This is not just a matter of mind, this is a completely irrational beast.

The Queen rushed over with an embarrassed look on her face. The Emperor did not say anything, and even ordered the maids who were controlling the eldest princess to leave. It was strange that the eldest princess would shout and kill anyone she met, and attack them crazily, but when she was in front of the Emperor, she seemed extremely obedient. The Emperor stretched out his hand, and the eldest princess immediately ran up to him.

She still couldn't speak, and could only rub the emperor's hand gently with her little face. But even like this, people around her could see her attachment to the emperor.

"How did it become like this?" The Queen Mother asked the Queen with a frown.

The queen immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.

The emperor ignored the farce between the empress dowager and the queen. He just hugged the eldest princess tightly in his arms with a little heartache. He did not look like the legendary emperor who did not care about the eldest princess.

Perhaps it was because of the injury that his heart became extra soft, Ai Ziyi guessed so, and hurriedly praised: "The princess and His Majesty really have a deep father-daughter relationship."
