A quick journey starting from Wu Dalang

Ma Qi's idea ultimately failed. After all, he could never have imagined that the intelligent prince in his eyes did not want to be emperor, but only wanted the people to be the masters of the country.

But it’s too early to say this now. After all, Jingyao is only six years old, and Yonglian and Jingse are only five years old.

Seeing that the Queen Mother had finally cleaned up everything, Bai Ruiji, as the Queen, brought a group of concubines to pay respects to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother, this restless creature, started to make trouble again.

"The emperor has an eldest son, Yonghuang, and a legitimate son, Yonglian. He also has another son who is equally precious..."

"What the Empress Dowager said is right. As long as they are the emperor's offspring, they are precious. Not to mention princes, even princesses are extremely precious," Gao Xiyue said anxiously. She has a daughter and she hates the empress dowager's words that look down on her daughter the most.

The Queen Mother was choked, but Qingying followed up: "Sister Imperial Concubine is right. The Emperor's children, whether boys or girls, are extremely precious."

Several people were talking one after another, making it almost impossible for the empress dowager to speak. However, everyone underestimated the empress dowager. Finally, after everyone had finished speaking, the empress dowager finally spoke her mind.

"The first child born after the emperor ascends the throne is called a noble son, and is extremely precious. If anyone is able to give birth to a noble son, I and the emperor will reward her."

Seeing Jin Yuyan getting excited because of the Queen Mother's words, Bai Ruiji smiled slightly: "Madam Queen, I also have a happy news to tell you."

"Oh? Queen, tell me what you have to say." The Queen Mother was still very happy. She was recalling her perfect plan to have her son disrupt the harem.

"Yonglian was reading a few days ago, and somehow he found a prescription in the book. After studying it, the imperial physician discovered that it could actually prevent smallpox. The emperor was very happy."

"What?" The Queen Mother was shocked. The Emperor had never mentioned such a big event to her. The Queen Mother felt extremely angry.

"I also said I didn't believe it, but I saw with my own eyes that several smallpox patients were cured by this house. I can't help but believe it."

Everyone knew what it meant that Yonglian had discovered a house that could cure smallpox, but they were unwilling to believe it, especially Jin Yuyan, who had great ambitions.

Others were just jealous for a moment, and then decided to follow the Queen unwaveringly. But Jin Yuyan was different. Her only thought now was to kill Yonglian and then give birth to a son.

A dispute in the harem began. The Queen Mother originally wanted to send someone into the harem, but was secretly blocked by Bai Ruiji. After several times, the Queen Mother gave up on the matter and waited for the harem to become chaotic before taking action herself.

The emperor was in mourning for the late emperor, but he called it filial piety in his heart, and he used days instead of months to complete the mourning period in a short time. Even Gao Xiyue found such behavior ridiculous.

"Your Majesty, you are not afraid of being ridiculed by the world for doing this. I used to think that your Majesty was absurd, but now it seems that you are really not as good as the late emperor."

"Xiyue! Be careful with your words!" Chu Ying glared at Gao Xiyue and scolded her, "You are not afraid of the company. If others hear your big talk, who can save you?"

"Sister Chu Ying, I was wrong. I was just a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?" Bai Ruiji didn't understand: "You are the emperor's concubine, what else in this world can scare you?"

"The emperor's actions are absurd. I'm afraid that if one day the emperor is instigated by someone, what will happen to my Jingyan?" Gao Xiyue was afraid that the emperor would find an unreliable husband for Jingyan in a fit of impulsiveness and ruin his daughter's life.

"Are you afraid of Ruyi's instigation? She won't do that. She also has a daughter. Isn't she afraid of revenge on her daughter?" Chu Ying persuaded Gao Xiyue to be at ease, but she didn't expect that Ruyi really was a person who didn't care about her daughter.

The conversation between the three people was heard by Yonglian who was standing aside. Yonglian was thinking, if it happened in the future, how could his sister have such a disaster? It seems that he needs to speed up his actions.

Ever since she changed her name, Ruyi has always been favored by the emperor. Even though the emperor was in mourning and could not favor her, she was always by his side. Such days made her inevitably have some expectations of the emperor, and these expectations reached their peak when Lang Shining painted the emperor and empress.

Only the emperor and empress could be together like a painting, but Ruyi, as a concubine, could not. When she was sad, she heard from Lang Shining about monogamy in Western countries.

She began to use these words to provoke the emperor every day, making the emperor extremely annoyed, but she didn't notice it at all. She even pulled the ladder the emperor was standing on, almost making the emperor fall. This scene happened to be seen by A Ruo and Yong Lian.

"Father Emperor!" Yonglian pretended to be worried, and then began to blame: "Wang Qin, what's wrong with you? If you can't take good care of Father Emperor, what crime will you be punished for? If Father Emperor is hurt, you won't have enough heads to chop off!"

Ruyi felt a little guilty, but then, A Ruo's words pointed her out: "Empress Xian, no matter how angry you are, you should not vent it on the emperor. If the emperor is injured, I, your concubine..."

As Arruo spoke, she burst into tears. Only then did the emperor realize how speechless Ruyi's behavior was. He waved at Ruyi and Arruo and asked them to leave.

"Your Majesty, I have also painted portraits of you and the Empress Dowager. Please appreciate them. My sister and Jingse's works are also in this painting." Yonglian made the emperor very happy. On the other side, A Ruo also began to instill new ideas into Ruyi.

"Sister Concubine Xian, I heard that you and the Emperor had a dispute over monogamy? To be frank, if monogamy is really the norm, I'm afraid there's no need for you and me to exist."

"Aruo, what do you mean by saying this? Will the Emperor divorce us all for the Empress?" It was Ruyi herself who said monogamy, but now she is the one who is angry.

"Actually, I envy this monogamous couple, so I asked a few more questions. Guess what I found out?"

Ruyi didn't say anything, just stared at A Ruo quietly. A Ruo began to ask herself and answer: "Although they are monogamous, privately, they each have their own lovers and even their own illegitimate children."

This shocked Ruyi: "There are such shameless women in the world. Won't their husbands be angry?"

Arruo did not answer. She said that this was just to break Ruyi's fantasy, not to answer her questions. Seeing that Ruyi was unhappy, Arruo left happily. She was going back to complete her childhood sweetheart plan.
