The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby

Liu Jingcheng returned to the city and went directly to the palace to meet the emperor. Upon hearing that his son had come, Emperor Shunhe quickly put down his official duties and asked Debao to summon him in.

Liu Jingcheng didn't waste any words, "Your Majesty, I want to recommend two people to study at the Imperial Academy. Please pass on the message."

The emperor couldn't issue an imperial decree for every trivial matter. For some things, it was enough for people to understand that it was the emperor's intention.

"Just for such a small matter?" The emperor was a little dissatisfied. It was rare for him to come to see him on his own initiative, but it was just for such a small matter.

"Yes." Liu Jingcheng didn't want to say more, as long as everyone knew it.

"Let Debao deliver it." Seeing that he was unwilling to say anything, the emperor decided to just forget it and handle the matter in a businesslike manner.

So Liu Jingcheng brought Zhai Liangyu's two sons, Zhai Chenxue and Zhai Chenrui, to the Imperial College. After sending them to the door, he left. He had other things to do, and Debao alone was enough.

Tan Jijiu from the Imperial College was discussing something with someone. When he saw Debao coming, he hurried over to greet him and said, "Oh, why are you here, Eunuch Debao?"

"Why, why can't we come to the Imperial College?" Debao is a favorite of the emperor, who dares to offend him? Qin Jijiu originally wanted to say something to please him, but it changed its meaning after he said it.

"No, no, it's rare to see Eunuch Debao."

"Okay, we won't waste time talking to you. These two children will be students of the Imperial College in the future. You can transfer them to a different class."

"Don't worry, father-in-law. After their academic performance is assessed, we will naturally arrange a suitable class for them."

"Okay, how about we take our two children to visit the Imperial College?"

"I will lead the way for you." How could Qin Jijiu not understand? This was to build momentum for the two children. No one would dare to bully the people sent by the emperor in the future.

This is exactly Liu Jingcheng’s purpose. After sending people in, he also has to ensure that they will not be bullied.

He came all the way to Fengxiang Palace, which was the queen's bedroom. He came here to cause trouble today. In the morning, the concubines from all the palaces gathered in Fengxiang Palace to pay their respects to the queen. The queen sometimes came early, sometimes late, anyway, it depended on her mood. The other concubines could only endure it and no one dared to offend her, not only because she was the queen, but also because she was the daughter of the Pan family. Now the Pan family was powerful in the court, even the emperor had to be a little wary, not to mention other people.

Liu Jingcheng pushed aside the women and walked up to the nanny guarding the palace gate.

"Please tell Madam that I need to see the Queen on business." Liu Jingcheng bowed. It was very perfunctory, but also thoughtful.

"Your Majesty, Prince Hong is asking for an audience outside the palace gate," the eunuch quickly ran in front of the queen and reported.

The group of women in the hall were all panicked and surprised, not knowing what was going on. Someone quickly reported to the emperor.

The queen was very surprised and confused at the same time: "What is he doing here?"

This was a scene she had never imagined. Because he was a fool and lived alone in his own mansion, the emperor granted him special permission that he did not have to come to pay his respects. Yet he chose to come today when there were so many people around. Now all the concubines were here, and later some officials would come to ask about the Empress Dowager's birthday. Was he here to cause trouble?

The queen washed and dressed herself up slowly and then walked out of the bedroom and came to the lobby. The concubines were about to greet the queen, but Liu Jingcheng got there first.

When Liu Jingcheng saw the queen coming out, he immediately knelt down and said, "I pay my respects to the queen mother. Please make the decision for me."

Those women just stood there in a daze, all looking at Liu Jingcheng. Many of them were newcomers and had no idea about Liu Jingcheng's mother. To survive in the palace, one should talk less, observe more and not ask questions. This was the rule of survival laid down by the bones of many newcomers.

Everyone was wondering, but then they heard the queen's cold voice:

"Make the decision? What does Cheng'er need your mother to make the decision for? " His voice was full of impatient mockery, the kind of condescending and disdainful tone.

"A few days ago, I was in your father's palace and saw my mother. She looked haggard and frail, doing the lowest and heaviest work. I feel sorry for my mother, and I beg you to plead with your father to forgive my mother." Liu Jingcheng lowered his voice and spoke in a deliberately intermittent manner, making people feel uneasy and scared. His silly look made everyone feel pity for him.

"Cheng'er, it's rare for you to come to my palace. I'm very happy. That bitch is not worthy of you calling her mother. She made a mistake before but still survived. It's a special favor from the emperor. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do." Her tone was affectionate and gentle, and her motherly heart was evident. However, she herself couldn't stand her false and artificial attitude.

I thought it was for the marriage, but I didn't expect it was for that bitch. This is totally unexpected. Hum, what tricks can a fool come up with? Just asking me to beg for mercy, don't you know the idiom called seeking the skin of a tiger?

"Your son is terrified. Your son begs your mother for help." Liu Jingcheng kowtowed and begged quickly. His body was shaking and his tone was frightened. He was like a child who had done something wrong. He did not dare to raise his head, as if he was afraid that he would be beaten if the queen was unhappy.

Those ladies who sat down again looked very excited. Although the harem was large, it was also a deep inner courtyard, and it was populated by a bunch of idle people, especially idle women. They could cause trouble when there was nothing to do, and would rush forward when there was something to do. Even if you didn't want to ask about what happened to Concubine Ming, you had no choice but to know. Now it was best to watch the joke while not getting involved.

No one would advise him not to be so scared and to just say what he wanted to say. The Queen was actually quite easy to talk to, but everyone looked at the Queen and no one was willing to say a word.

"Please help me, my Queen Mother. I have committed a huge mistake. Please punish me."

"There is no need for punishment. Your father has originally allowed you not to come and greet him. You may go down now." The queen said as she turned around, sat on her throne, and prepared to accept the greetings from the concubines.

"Mother, mother, please help me and ask my father for mercy." Liu Jingcheng knelt down and walked towards the queen without giving in.

"This Prince Xuan is so stupid..." The concubines were whispering in twos and threes. Everyone was laughing at him. Wouldn't it be better for him to pray directly to the Emperor? But he went to the wrong temple to burn incense. How pitiful.

The queen watched coldly without saying a word. She couldn't hear clearly what everyone was saying, but she knew that everyone was discussing it. Everyone had their own standards in their hearts. With so many women fighting for one man, everyone was a rival in love.

Besides, the old man doesn't care about anyone now. His heart died with the death of that bitch many years ago. Now this idiot wants me to beg the emperor to let her go. How can I beg? How can I let her go? The one in the palace is a fake.

Originally, Concubine Ming was to be sentenced to death, but the emperor refused, saying that there was insufficient evidence. In the end, she was demoted to a commoner. The empress was unwilling to accept this, so she imprisoned her in her own palace and tortured her every day to vent her hatred.

Unexpectedly, she was killed accidentally. She was wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave outside the city. She was dead, and who cared about a demoted concubine? But the emperor cared, and the Kingdom of Nanyue cared. Her brother Mei Qingjie disappeared out of thin air with a team, and there was no action over the years because Mei Shumin was still alive.

No matter how much the queen hated her, she didn't dare to kill her. Her brother Pan Renhui gave her a clear order that Mei Shumin must not die. She was the best chess piece to restrain Mei Qingjie. She had no choice but to find someone with a similar appearance to replace her, and move around the palace from time to time to conceal her identity.

A few days ago, I asked the pretender to test Liu Jingcheng, but I didn't expect that he would come to me today to ask for help and beg for mercy.

The routine greetings that should have been completed in half an hour have been delayed for more than an hour today. The officials from the Ministry of Rites of the previous dynasty will enter the palace soon, so we have to send this bastard away quickly.

"Cheng'er is so filial, you can just go and ask your father for help." The Queen's tone was still gentle, but there was a hint of displeasure and indifference in her voice. She knew it was not good, but she couldn't pretend and couldn't be kind to him.

"Your son is of low status and my words carry little weight. I'm afraid of being punished by your Majesty. Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, is someone your Majesty values. She is the mistress of the harem and the mother of the country. If your Majesty comes forward, your Majesty will surely grant your approval," Liu Jingcheng continued, trembling on the ground, in a fawning tone.

"Haha" the queen sneered. Is this the person the emperor values?

There was another buzz of whispers among the many concubines below, and the queen knew what they were saying.

"Ming Shu Ren, she made a mistake and I have spared her life. What else can she ask for?" the queen said coldly.

"I was young and not in the palace at that time, so I didn't know my mother's fault. But I saw how hard my mother worked, and now she is sick. Even if she made a thousand mistakes, she is still my biological mother. I am willing to take the blame for her. I ask my mother to plead with my father to allow my mother to leave the palace and give me a chance to fulfill my filial piety." Liu Jingcheng knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

Humph, you don’t know it’s your mother’s fault. Are you trying to settle old scores?

At this time, the young eunuch came in and whispered a few words to the eunuch beside the queen. The queen understood that the officials from the Ministry of Rites came to discuss the Queen Mother's birthday, and she did not want the officials of the previous dynasty to see this scene.

"Cheng'er, you are a good child and you are filial. I am very pleased. I will ask your father for mercy later. However, your father may not listen to me. You should go back and wait for news." After the queen finished speaking, she no longer looked at him, but turned to the concubines: "Go away." The queen was angry, but she had been enduring it in front of so many concubines.

"Mother, mother, please help me. If you don't agree, I will kneel here forever." Liu Jingcheng looked like he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

His attitude angered the queen. It was a threat, a naked threat.

"How do you want your mother to help you?" The Queen's tone was gentle, but there was obvious anger in her voice. She was really about to be enraged, and she signaled to the eunuchs.

Several eunuchs came to pull Liu Jingcheng, but Liu Jingcheng lay on the ground motionless.
