Wearing a book, hooking him up

"I follow the Empress Dowager's benevolent instructions.

Now that Your Majesty has ascended the throne, the Crown Princess was originally the legitimate wife in the palace, but her moral conduct is flawed.

At the time when the late emperor's body was lying in state, she had the audacity to commit treason and offend the late emperor, and caused Tang Fengyi to have a miscarriage. She is truly unworthy of the heavy responsibility of an empress.

However, Your Majesty, taking into account their old friendship, specially appointed her as a noble concubine and granted her the right to live in the Yiku Palace.

From now on, the imperial concubine must deeply understand her mistakes, sincerely repent, strictly abide by the palace rules, and never do anything rebellious again.

Everyone in the palace should take this as an example, serve respectfully, strictly observe palace rules, and not disobey in the slightest.

If there is another offender, he will be severely punished.

Admire this! "

The eunuch in the Empress Dowager's palace straightened his back with a serious look, and read out the Empress Dowager's decree clearly word by word in front of Ling Yue.

After reading it, the eunuch slowly walked to Ling Yue holding the imperial edict.

He bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, please accept the order. The Yikun Palace has already been properly prepared. Your Highness can move in today."

At this moment, Ling Yue's body was shaking uncontrollably, with an expression of disbelief on his face, his face was almost distorted.

She is His Majesty's legitimate wife!

Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, she should become the Queen!

But... His Majesty only conferred her the title of Imperial Concubine.

Demoting my wife to a concubine...what a humiliation!

Meixiang, the senior palace maid beside Ling Yue, felt distressed when she saw how distraught she was.

He quietly moved his kneeling body and gently tugged at the corner of Ling Yue's clothes to remind her.

Ling Yue took a deep breath.

In order to make her a qualified crown princess, Jun Zechen had specially sent several maids to teach her carefully.

She also knew in her heart that she could not disobey the imperial decree and could only accept it.

Afterwards, Ling Yue suppressed his inner grief and anger, and slowly took the imperial edict with trembling hands.

Upon seeing this, the eunuch immediately said with a big smile on his face: "Congratulations, Imperial Concubine. Congratulations, Imperial Concubine. You hold the highest position in the palace."

After that, the eunuch waved his hand again and continued, "Your Highness, this is your imperial concubine's seal."

Meixiang hurried forward to take the imperial eunuch's seal and said respectfully, "Thank you, eunuch."

Then she took out the reward money she had prepared from her bosom and handed it to the eunuch.

After the eunuch who announced the decree left, Meixiang helped Ling Yue up slowly with a distressed look on her face.

Ling Yue's body was still trembling slightly, and she was still immersed in the huge blow and unable to extricate herself.

She sat on the couch with a dazed look on her face, as if she had lost her soul.

She murmured to herself, "Meixiang, he clearly promised me that I would be his only wife in this life, but now, what on earth am I?"

Her eyes were empty and her face was as pale as paper.

She became his concubine, so what even if she was a noble concubine?

"Master, you have been canonized as a noble concubine. This must be the Queen Mother's intention."

"You made such a mistake in front of the late emperor's spirit. Before His Majesty ascended the throne, all the officials submitted a memorial to depose you from the position of Crown Princess."

Meixiang whispered to comfort her, her face full of worry.

"Your Majesty ascended the throne today. You will certainly not be able to withstand the double oppression of the court officials and the Queen Mother. Now that you have been conferred the title of Imperial Concubine, it is because His Majesty is thinking of the love between you two as husband and wife."

Ling Yue remained silent and did not speak. In addition to deep despair, there was also a hint of gloom in his eyes.

There must have been something wrong with that Buddhist beads bracelet!

There was no way that the rash on her hands came out of nowhere.

But the Empress Dowager had checked on the same day and found that the Imperial Household Department was under her firm control. No one had tampered with the sutra boxes and Buddhist beads when they were delivered from the Imperial Household Department to her Qiluan Palace.

After it was sent to her, her Buddhist beads bracelet was always under her sight.

Only...Tang Fengyi touched it.

But Tang Fengyi had no reason to harm her.

Even Tang Fengyi lost her child because of this, and she herself was also a victim of this incident.

Could it be An Liangdi again?

But An Liangdi never touched her Buddhist beads bracelet.

If it was An Liangdi who bribed the eunuchs of the Imperial Household Department, it would be impossible not to find out given the Empress Dowager's control over the harem.

She didn't believe that An Liangdi could reach the Imperial Household Department now.

Ling Yue bit her lip. Even if she couldn't figure this matter out no matter how hard she tried, she would find out!

Ling Yue's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, and she said firmly: "Mei Xiang, I will not continue to complain and whine like this. I must have been framed in front of the late emperor's spirit. I must find out who framed me!"

Meixiang, who was standing by, saw that her master had finally cheered up and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"Master, it's great that you think this way. Your primary goal now is to seize power. The struggle in the harem will be more cruel and ruthless than that in the East Palace." Meixiang said solemnly.

Ling Yue nodded slowly, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

Yes, she thought it was too simple at the beginning.

There are only five concubines in the Eastern Palace. Except for An Liangdi, who obviously has a grudge against her, she can't understand the others.

Are women really that complicated?

She should have thought of this earlier, right? Her husband was the crown prince, and now he is the emperor with great power.

Ling Yue would occasionally ask herself this question silently in the depths of her heart, unknown to anyone.

Do you regret marrying the prince and entering this palace that is as deep and unfathomable as a quagmire?

But even in this situation now, she would answer firmly in her heart that she has never regretted it in the slightest.

She could have grown up safely in the Ling family in the capital.

Her father was stationed at the frontier all year round, and she had lived with her mother in the Ling family since she was a child.

But her father was just a bastard of the Ling family, and his status in the Ling family was already low.

Her father was away from home most of the year, and she often witnessed her mother being bullied. The mistress of the Ling family had never treated her mother well.

When she was five years old, her mother passed away suddenly. She was too young at that time and she didn’t understand how such a strong and tenacious mother could leave the world so suddenly.

She was so weak that she could only barely survive in the Ling family.

However, after her mother passed away, her life in the Ling family only became more difficult.

All the legitimate daughters of the Ling family looked down on her.

No one gave her protection for two whole years, and she gradually became inferior and cowardly.

When she was seven years old, when her father finally came home to visit, she begged him to take her with him.

She didn't want to stay in the capital, a place where she couldn't feel any love at all.

After arriving in the frontier, her father was a general with some power, although her life was not as refined and elegant as that of the young ladies in the capital.

But the love her father gave her and the free and unrestrained atmosphere outside the Great Wall made her feel incomparable happiness.

She became cheerful and confident, and her eyes were always bright.

When she was fifteen years old, the seventeen-year-old prince led his troops to the frontier with high spirits.

His elegant and dashing appearance is unforgettable.

She often heard her father praising the prince, saying that he was brave and resourceful, and was a rare talent.

Once, her father followed the prince to attack foreign enemies again. After returning victoriously, one of her father's men hurriedly told her that her father was injured.

She was anxious to see her injured father, so she hurriedly disguised herself as a man and entered the tent.

The soldiers under her father's command had almost all watched her grow up since she was a child, so they did not try to stop her.

It was also during this time that she met the young prince.

At first sight, you'll be ruined for life.

Perhaps this sentence is the most appropriate to describe her.

The prince had a cold and aloof look on his face at that time. When they met for the first time, they only exchanged two brief sentences.

After that, every time the prince returned victorious from a battle, Ling Yue would take the initiative to "encounter" him with full anticipation.

again and again.

Because every time he won a battle, he would go to the vast grassland to ride his horse to his heart's content, and he would also go to the desert to ride a camel in a leisurely manner.

Later, as they became more familiar with each other, she often joined him with great joy.

She remembered that she had curiously asked Jun Zechen at that time, since he often rode horses during wars, why did he also ride horses during rest time?

At that time, the prince raised his head slightly, looked into the distance, and gave her an answer: Riding a horse itself is not important, what is important is the place where you ride a horse.

Grasslands and deserts are unique to the areas beyond the Great Wall.

Jun Zechen just liked the freedom and unruliness here very much. Of course, he also liked Ling Yue who accompanied him in horse racing at that time.

In this vast and free world, a special feeling is growing between the two people.

She was the one who took the initiative to continue her relationship with the prince.

Ling Yue has always been very clear that it is impossible that the prince has only one woman.

But when the prince solemnly promised her that they would be together for the rest of their lives, she was really very happy.

She had never thought that the prince would give up all the beauties for her.

She was deeply moved by this deep affection, and her young girl's heart could no longer be controlled.

Jun Zechen always believed that she deeply loved the outskirts of the Great Wall and loved the unrestrained freedom.

Yes, she did.

But she liked him more, including his identity.

After the prince returned to the court, he proposed to marry her without hesitation.

So, she returned from the frontier in glory to the capital city where luxury was everywhere.

And just as she expected, the Ling family in the capital city shamelessly came forward.

The head of the Ling family said hypocritically that the Ling family would be her solid backing in the future and they were a loving family.

Haha, how is this possible!

Ling Yue never thought that he and the Ling family were a family.

Ever since her father resolutely took her away, she has separated from the main family.

So many years have passed, and the Ling family has ignored them.

Now that she had become the Crown Princess, they came up to her eagerly.

There was only endless pride in her heart.

At that time, she was high and mighty and rejected them decisively.

She once told the Ling family with great certainty that Ling Yue did not need the Ling family's support or any help from them.

Because the prince is her most powerful supporter!

The Ling family, which was already gradually going downhill in the capital, could only turn around and leave in disgrace when they saw that Ling Yue was not willing to speak well of the Ling family in front of the prince.

At this moment, Ling Yue had to admit that she overestimated Jun Zechen's love for her.

In the two years since she married Jun Zechen, she had lost herself in his meticulous care and indulged in the unique love he gave her.

The women in the harem without the support of their families are like floating duckweed. Once they lose his favor, they will have nothing.

Therefore, in addition to holding on to Jun Zechen's remaining love for her, she also had to hold on to power.

Everyone in the harem is extremely terrifying.

But she will never give up easily.

The throne of queen will be hers.

Even if Jun Zechen no longer likes her or loves her in the end, she must be his wife and queen.

This was the promise he had made to her.

Since he couldn't do what he said, she had to do it on her own.

Ling Yue's eyes revealed firmness and determination.
