Quick Wear: The Concubine is Seductive and Seduces the Mistress

"Yu'er, I'm sorry, but I hope you can treat Concubine Li and her son well." The pale and powerless emperor stretched out his withered hand to him, "After all, he is your brother."

If the emperor was still in good health, he would certainly be furious if he was drugged. After all, the older he got, the more he feared death. However, the imperial doctors were helpless against his illness, and he didn't have many days left.

Watching life slip away day by day, his suspicions disappeared and he began to reminisce about their old love. After all, she was the woman he had doted on for many years, so he softened his heart.

The prince didn't know what his mood was. In fact, at this point in time, it no longer mattered who his father favored.

But he never expected that even though Concubine Li gave him medicine when his father was seriously ill, she would still receive his mercy.

Seeing that the prince was silent, the emperor knew that what he did was wrong, but he only made this one request. Suddenly, he regained some spirits, "Prince, I left a will, naming the Sixth Prince as Prince An and sending him to Yanzhou. He is still young and will not pose any threat to you. After all, he is your brother. I hope you can treat him well."

Be nice?

The prince found it ridiculous when he heard the word. Those brothers who had been unpopular and sent to remote fiefdoms still had ambitions. If it weren't for the sudden illness of his father and his early deployment of defenses at the edge of the city, they would have already met with ambitious swords.

Especially since he had basically been taking care of his father these days, and he heard that he even wanted to pass the throne to the Sixth Prince for a moment, so he was ruthless and increased the dosage when Concubine Li took action, otherwise it would not have happened so quickly...

"Prince, I have never said anything soft in my life. I know that I have let you and the Queen down because of my suspicion. I have nothing to say, but I just don't like to see you brothers killing each other."

The emperor spoke for a long time, and only left with a smile after the prince nodded.

At the same time, the death knell rang and the whole country mourned.

The national mourning period is based on days instead of months, with 27 days of mourning. During this period, the body will be kept for seven days and then an auspicious day will be calculated to bury the emperor in the mausoleum.

During this period, ministers, wives of officials, imperial concubines in the harem, and concubines in the Eastern Palace all had to observe mourning. Ordinary people could not bear to kneel for seven days, let alone Liu Fuyin, a pregnant woman. Fortunately, the prince was thoughtful and exempted her from kneeling in time.

At this time, Chen Wanjun was so excited about becoming the queen that she didn't pay attention to this matter, otherwise there would have been a fuss.

Perhaps because she was in a good mood, she took the initiative to chat with her concubines, but during the conversation, she felt as if she had become the queen.

The ladies of the court were all kneeling outside, surrounded by many people and eyes, and within half a day someone reported Chen Wanjun's behavior to the Empress Dowager, saying that the Crown Princess' words and deeds were disrespectful to the late Emperor.

The prince was busy at the time, so the queen gave her the warning personally. Chen Wanjun also knew that she couldn't cause trouble at this critical juncture, so she endured it.

After the final sacrifice was completed, the next day Crown Prince Li Yu'an ascended the throne and became emperor, changing the reign title to Mingde, and the queen naturally became the empress dowager.

The Sixth Prince was named Prince An, and Concubine Li accompanied him immediately to Yanzhou. Unfortunately, Concubine Li was also a miserable person. Everyone knew how arrogant she was when she was a concubine. The new emperor was merciful and spared her life, but she died on the long journey due to her weak body. Some people also said that she died of illness due to missing the previous emperor. Whatever the reason was, it is now a story for later.

"Emperor, I don't want to ask too much about the affairs of your harem, but you should ask yourself, is the Crown Princess really suitable to be the Queen?" After all matters were settled and the position of concubine in the Eastern Palace was reached, the Queen Mother suddenly called Emperor Mingde to the Cining Palace.

In fact, Emperor Mingde had already been mentally prepared for this matter. After all, his mother had disliked Chen Wanjun for a long time, and she had made mistakes one after another.

But it was inappropriate to demote his wife to a concubine. After all, the things Chen Wanjun did had not been spread out. "Mother, this is not a question of whether it is appropriate or not. Chen is my Crown Princess, so it is only natural that she should be the Queen."

The Queen Mother was so angry when she heard this. She really didn't understand why her son liked the Crown Princess so much. She was relieved when she saw him punish the Crown Princess, thinking that he had finally come to his senses.

Now it seems that it was not a punishment at all! It was obvious that she was afraid of being pissed off by me, so she was intentionally protecting me. It was just a mild house arrest. "Emperor, when you were the crown prince, I would not stop you from marrying anyone as the crown princess. But now that you are the emperor, your wife is not just a wife, but the mother of a country, a role model for women all over the world. How can she be worthy of this?"

"Let's not talk about how petty she was before. She dominated your life for many years but you still had no children. She was even jealous and murdered your children. You did hide all this, but someone knew about it. If you were impeached, how could you put your face? And during the days of mourning, when everyone was filled with sorrow, she actually smiled. That would have been fine, but the key point was that she was caught by the censors and impeached me!"

The Queen Mother's words were passionate and even a little coercive. After all, when she was the Queen, she was still bullied by the Imperial Concubine. Now that the Imperial Concubine was gone, if there was another Queen who made her bullied, she would be so angry that she would die.

"Mother, Chen has always been like this. She was indeed a little immature before, but I can't demote her to a concubine for no reason!" Emperor Mingde saw that the empress dowager's eyes were evasive, and it was obvious that she was hesitant.

The Queen Mother took this opportunity to say many bad things about the Crown Princess, and even hinted that her mother's family would impeach her and appoint another Queen. Emperor Mingde also said a few more words and the Crown Princess reluctantly agreed.

"Does the Queen Mother have a candidate in mind for the new Queen?"

"Now that you have just ascended the throne, it would be inappropriate to choose a daughter from any family. Your two concubines are both suitable. Why not choose one of them?"

The Queen Mother actually prefers Liu Fuyin. Firstly, she has always felt that she owes the daughter of the Liu family, and she really likes this sensible child. Most importantly, the position of Shizhong means that the Emperor is close to the Emperor, so it would be easier to control the Emperor if his daughter becomes the Queen.

"I know it well."

Seeing that he had listened, the Queen Mother said no more. Even though he was her own son, it would be annoying if she interfered too much.

When the imperial edict was passed to the East Palace, Liu Fuyin was doing embroidery. Tian Zhongshun, who was beside the emperor, came over with narrowed eyes and smiled, "Liang Di, great joy!"

This tone was not dissimilar to the tone used by the eunuch when Liu Fuyin was granted marriage, except that it was a little more flattering. And her state of mind was completely different.

Liu Fuyin was about to kneel down, but Tian Zhongshun stopped her, "Liang Di, His Majesty said that you are pregnant and in great pain, so you only need to stand and listen to the emperor's orders."

"Then it's my father-in-law."

Liu Fuyin was still respectful to her, a eunuch, which made Tian Zhongshun's favor towards her grow rapidly. He also quickly read the imperial edict:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

Liangdi Liu is a woman of both talent and virtue, with a virtuous and obedient nature. She is known for her gentle appearance, virtuous character, respectful and cautious conduct, and a good reputation. She is specially canonized as the Empress of the Central Palace and granted the residence of Fengqi Palace by the will of heaven.

So decreed! "1
