Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

After the beauties were selected, they were assigned palaces. However, two days had passed and no one had the privilege of being visited by the emperor.

Baili Yong was busy with routine affairs in various palaces during the day, and at night he accompanied Ran Qianxi in Yifeng Palace to make a baby, which made the other palaces feel uneasy.

On this day, Tan Qianhuan received another letter from the palace.

"The Imperial Concubine personally selected the candidates for the palace selection, and all the spies were eliminated one by one."

He looked at the letter and didn't know whether he was happy or sad.

“It’s getting more and more difficult for me…”

Another half month passed and it was already hot summer. Baili Yong still hadn't visited the newly selected concubine, Ran Qianxi was still not pregnant, and ministers from the previous dynasty kept coming one after another.

"Your Majesty, state affairs are of utmost importance, and heirs are of the utmost importance!"

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has no children, and the harem is in panic!"

"The harem is in turmoil, and the dynasty is in turmoil, Your Majesty!"

The ministers kept arguing with one reason after another, but Baili Yong looked down at the hall without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, may the rain and dew fall equally on us!"

"The Imperial Concubine is favored, and the Ran family is the only one in power. How can the ministers feel at ease?"

"That's enough. Why do you have any say in the affairs of the harem? The Imperial Concubine has only been in the palace for less than three months. How do you expect her to have a baby in three months?"

Hearing Baili Yong's rage, the ministers fell silent instantly and no one dared to speak out.

"Now that the country is peaceful and the people are at peace, you can't sit still? From now on, all of you will take turns to tour the south!"

"Your Majesty, think twice."

Baili Yong left in a hurry, and all the civil and military officials in the court placed their hopes on Xu Yuanchao.

"Marquis Yu'an, you have made great achievements in battle, please say a word for me..."

"What can I say? It is your Majesty's business to decide who to favor."

"If this is the case, I'm afraid the evil concubine will bring disaster to the country."

"Shut up!"

Xu Yuanchao scolded, and everyone in the room focused their attention.

"Let's not talk about the Imperial Concubine. I don't even know that there has never been a dynasty whose prosperity or decline was attributed to a woman. Instead of wasting time trying to provoke me, you should think about how to serve the country. Even if the country is destroyed a hundred years later, it will all be because of you ignorant bureaucrats!"

"I have overstepped my authority."

"It's good that you understand that you are overstepping your bounds. If I hear you say obscene words to insult the Imperial Concubine again, I will show no mercy."

Looking at Xu Yuanchao's back, Ran Yuelian and Ran Qiongxi were extremely respectful.

Xie Ying looked at the two of them without saying anything. Even though some of them were dissatisfied, they could only look for another opportunity.

That night, Baili Yong was reviewing memorials when he suddenly found a letter from Tan Qianhuan, in which he said that he was worried that his adopted daughter was being wronged in the palace and wanted to visit her during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Baili Yong knew that this was just his high-sounding excuse, and if the memorial was rejected, he would still do it.

"How arrogant."

After hearing what happened in the previous dynasty today, Ran Qianxi walked in with Shang Zijie.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

The gloom that Baili Yong had felt a second ago immediately disappeared when he saw her.

"Xier~"

"Well... I heard... why don't you sleep with her today..."

"Don't pay attention to what they say. They are used to being noisy."

Ran Qianxi was standing in the hall, obviously conflicted. She wanted to always monopolize Baili Yong, but since she had entered the palace, she had to accept that her husband was the emperor.

"But I heard you were pissed..."

Baili Yong put down the memorial and walked over, knowing that she didn't want him to favor others.

"What's wrong? Where's the pride you feel because of your favor?"

"Tsk, you can't always be arrogant because of your favor. They are right."

Seeing her worried face, Baili Yong smiled to comfort her.

"Are you worried that someone will attack the Ran family?"

Ran Qianxi slowly raised her head.

"kind of…"

Baili Yong smiled faintly and held her in his arms.

"Xi'er has always been arrogant and domineering. She doesn't care about anyone. Why do you have so little confidence in your father?"

"My father is an honest man."

"Fool, can an honest man sit firmly as the president of the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years? Don't worry, I will also protect the Ran Mansion."

The two of them walked out of the office hall, and Ran Qianxi gently put her arms around his neck.

The next day—

Just after the morning court session, Baili Yong was worried about Ran Qianxi's mood, so he hurried back to Yifeng Palace without taking off his dragon robe, only to find her sleeping soundly.

She was thinking about her family and calling for her parents.

"Father, mother, elder brother..."

Baili Yong leaned over to listen, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"Father..."

The word "adoptive father" instantly set Baili Yong off. All he could think of was the scene of the two of them chatting and laughing. He couldn't get rid of the words of defense he heard, and he immediately felt murderous intent!

"Damn it!"

He left in a huff, without leaving behind any trace of his rebelliousness.

After Ran Qianxi woke up, she didn't wait for Baili Yong for a whole day. She went to the palace to look for him at night, but found out that he had gone to Concubine Wan's palace.

This went on for two days in a row. Then she heard that he favored Shang Zijie and promoted someone else, but never came to Yifeng Palace to find her. Her heart suddenly felt dark as if it was burned by a raging fire.

"Damn... fell out of favor so quickly?"

She was walking in the garden full of anger and unexpectedly ran into Concubine Xie. What a narrow road the enemy meets.

"I pay my respects..."

"roll!"

Seeing her get angry, Concubine Xie smiled triumphantly and actually followed her to block her way.

"I heard that His Majesty hasn't been to the Yifeng Palace for some time. Did Your Majesty make His Majesty angry?"

Ran Qianxi glared at her and ignored her, but she still refused to give in.

"Alas, the women in this palace bloom like flowers, one after another, and there will always be a time when they fall out of favor. Your Majesty, please don't be angry, because anger is harmful to your health!"

'Snapped'--

Ran Qianxi slapped her directly, making Concubine Xie so angry that she blew her beard and glared!

"You dare to hit me?"

Ran Qianxi rolled up her sleeves and walked forward. She was feeling angry and had no place to vent her anger, but now she found a target right at her doorstep.

"You are an old concubine who is not favored, yet you dare to challenge me. What's wrong with hitting you? It's right for me to hit you, and you should bear it."

As she spoke, she grabbed her hair and slapped it twice, then pinned her to the ground, squatted down and pinched her hard several times.

"You bitch!"

"Oh my god, you dare to scold me, you really don't know the difference between high and low!"

Concubine Xie was knocked down by her and retreated repeatedly. She almost vented all her anger of the past few days on her.

When she was tired of fighting, Concubine Xie was lying on the ground with a bruised face and nose. She stood up victoriously and smoothed the hair on her forehead.

"I've had enough of this humiliation. I need to get a divorce. He must destroy me!"

She left in a haughty manner, leaving Concubine He in the dark stunned.

"The Imperial Concubine is still as good as ever..."

After returning to the palace and keeping quiet for a while, Yuqing and Suixue were so scared that they dared not speak.

"you go..."

"Tsk... Miss has such a temper... Only the eldest master can control her..."

"Tsk, but you see the queen doesn't say a word, doesn't eat, and we're going to have to finish her off if she gets starved."

Sui Xue hesitated for a moment but still walked over. After all, she was a maid who came with the dowry, and they had a deep relationship over the years, so Ran Qianxi would not vent her anger on her.

"Ma'am..."

Ran Qianxi glared at her, and she instantly changed her address.

"No, no, no... that Second Miss... well... there is favor and there is disfavor... let's eat first... and then we can make a comeback!"

"Damn it...what did he say the other day? He said he would not let me suffer any injustice, but now his words are like fart!"

"Yes, yes, the Second Miss is right. Let's eat first."

Ran Qianxi stood up angrily!

"I don't want to be the Imperial Concubine anymore. Let's go and vent our anger on him!"

After saying that, he strode out.

"Hey hey... Second Miss... You can't look for her! You can't look for her!"

Seeing Sui Xue running out, Yu Qing immediately followed.
