As the queen, all the other concubines were required to come to pay their respects morning and evening, but the queen was kind and only required the concubines to come once on the first and fifteenth day of the month.

It is even more unnecessary during the late pregnancy and confinement period.

But now, the empress has finished her confinement and the emperor still favors her, and the concubines in the harem can no longer sit still.

In particular, this most favored little princess has not yet made her official debut.

So when Ji Qionghua woke up, she was wrapped in a swaddle and was treated like a monkey by everyone.

"The little princess is so pretty, she looks a lot like the queen."

"Yes, she has such a cute little face. You can tell at a glance that she will be a stunning beauty when she grows up."

"Your Highness and the Emperor's daughter are naturally the best."

Ji Qionghua felt dizzy from all the flattery.

It turns out that concubines are all very eloquent.

At this moment, she was being held by someone. When she noticed that Ji Qionghua had woken up, the queen, who was dressed particularly gracefully and elegantly today, smiled brilliantly.

"Qiong Hua'er, according to seniority, you have to call her aunt when you grow up."

It can be heard that the queen trusts the woman in front of her very much.

Ji Qionghua looked at the other party.

She had a delicate nose, almond-shaped eyes, and a pretty face, but the makeup on her face could not hide her frail look.

The other person is not in good health.

The woman blushed when Ji Qionghua looked at her like that, and she was extremely careful while hugging Ji Qionghua.

"Your Highness is too kind. I am not worthy of being called the Princess' aunt."

Kang Bin, whose real name is Kang Tang.

After all, she was the adopted daughter of her grandfather and had a high status in the Liu family.

She is just weak and has no children after all these years in the palace.

However, there are many rumors outside that the Liu family sent Concubine Kang in to consolidate the Queen's favor.

It was also said that the reason why Concubine Kang was unable to have children was because of the Liu family.

As for the truth, it is truly shocking.

[My dear mother, do you know how deeply your aunt loves you?]

[It's still the kind of love between men and women. 】

Who would have thought that Concubine Kang, who was favored by the emperor once or twice every month, actually loved the queen.

Kangpin's hand suddenly tightened.

She was more afraid of her thoughts being exposed than the fear of hearing those voices.

This is her deepest secret.

She looked around and saw that no one else reacted. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she met the complicated look of the queen sitting on the main throne.

The Queen can hear it too!

Kangpin's hands were shaking and she almost dropped Ji Qionghua.

No.

No.

Tears welled up in Concubine Kang's eyes. No matter what, she didn't want to be treated as a monster.

Women, how can you like women?

But Concubine Kang could not forget their first meeting that day.

Her parents died early and she was abused by her evil relatives when she grew up.

When she was ten years old, her aunt wanted to sell her to an old man in his seventies.

She was unwilling to give in, so she ran away.

But he was blocked in the alley by the people chasing him.

Her aunt wanted to destroy her innocence and then sell her off at a low price.

She ran and ran, but there were walls on all sides and she had nowhere to go.

She lay on the ground, and no matter how she begged for mercy, the evil men refused to let her go.

Her outer garment was torn to pieces, and she saw the lewd expressions of those people and the small, dark sky above her head.

Just as there is no hope for her future.

When she was about to accept her fate, the Queen appeared.

Like a god, he stood in the dark alley and saved her.

Just one glance and she fell.

She hated those dirty and ugly men, and she liked clean and kind women like the queen.

In order to stay by the queen's side, it doesn't matter if she becomes a concubine to her rival.

But she was going to take this thought to her grave.

Love between women is not tolerated by the world, and she would never allow the queen to be stigmatized because of her existence.

What's more, the queen is just a sister to her.

But now this secret has been discovered by a little baby.

She had no energy to think about how special this little baby was; she was terrified.

She was afraid that the queen would ignore her again.

[First, a man fell in love with my brother, the crown prince, and then my aunt became a concubine of my rival for love. ]

[But compared to my brother, the Crown Prince, my mother is still lucky. ]

[It's a pity that my mother will never know how much my aunt has done for her. ]

[My aunt's infertility was caused by her own actions.]

[After learning that her mother was going to enter the palace, she decided to follow her.]

[But she did not want to steal the favor of her mother, nor did she want to bear children for her love rival.]

[She just wants to see her mother often.]

[So in the middle of winter, she soaked in cold water every day, and even deliberately fell into a cold pond on a snowy day, in order to catch a cold and make herself childless.]

Just by reading the words, Ji Qionghua could feel how sincere and heavy Kangpin's heart was.

She comes from a more open modern era.

For men and women, gender has never been an obstacle, so it is inevitable that she would defend Concubine Kang in her words.

[My poor aunt, she was obviously disgusted by men, but in order to be able to sleep with the emperor normally, she secretly went to those brothels to watch men and women having sex before entering the palace.]

[Even so, I can only do it with some reluctance to let the emperor touch me.]

[After every incident, he would go and vomit violently under the pretext of cleaning, and he would have to take medicine afterwards to ensure that nothing went wrong.]

[This body is getting weaker and weaker due to all this torture.]

[My scumbag father never noticed anything wrong. ]

[Of course, it could also be because he had no interest in his aunt, and he allowed her to sleep with him purely because she was his mother's sister, which was a special favor.]

[Speaking of which, does this count as my father being cuckolded by my mother? 】

Ji Qionghua pondered it and chuckled.

The idea of ​​a royal couple living together for life is as false as a fairy tale, not to mention for the emperor who is the highest authority.

Although the emperor only loves the queen, for the sake of inheritance, court peace and checks and balances of power, there cannot be only one woman in the harem.

Hearing this, the queen felt indescribable.

Although she found it difficult to accept the love of a woman, as Qiong Huaer said, the other party did her best for her.

Over the years in the harem, the two have helped each other.

Despite all the conspiracies and plots, Concubine Kang never betrayed her.

She couldn't accept this thought, but she shouldn't deny it either.

Seeing Concubine Kang's disheartened look, the Queen felt uncomfortable as well.

The Queen sighed, walked over and hugged Ji Qionghua, and her hand accidentally patted Concubine Kang's shoulder.

"You will always be my sister and Qiong Huaer's aunt."

She will not cross this identity, but she will not alienate the other party because of it.

She could pretend she didn't hear it, but... she shouldn't do that.

Kangpin's eyes became moist as she understood the Queen's hint.

Fortunately, even though the other party knew the truth, he never despised me.

She has been afraid day and night for these years.

She hid it all, and watched her lover and her rival being affectionate and affectionate, feeling heartbroken.

Now, when the secret was revealed, she was relieved.
