I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 317 Xia Dongchun (27)

Just at this time, Yixiu, who had been in a vegetative state for many years, passed away.

This time it really wasn't Xia Dongchun's fault, nor was it anyone else who wanted to harm her.

It really is that she couldn't hold on any longer.

This is the state of the medical technology of this era. Vegetative patients are a difficult and troublesome condition that is difficult to cure even in modern times, let alone in the Qing Dynasty hundreds of years ago.

Yixiu has been able to hold on until now thanks to the loyal Jianqiu's unswerving care and support.

Well, you can tell by just looking at the size difference between the master and servant in Jingren Palace.

After so many years, although Yixiu was no different from a living dead, her complexion was not rosy, but her figure was still the same as before. On the contrary, Jianqiu, who was able to move, was still the head aunt of the Queen, but she was so thin that she was just skin and bones. She looked more like a seriously ill patient than Yixiu who was lying there.

When Yixiu was still breathing, even though almost all the servants in Jingren Palace had run away, she still served Yixiu without regrets; now that Yixiu is gone, she decisively committed suicide after seeing Yixiu off for the last time.

No matter how cruel Jianqiu is to others, her loyalty and friendship to Yixiu are truly admirable.

Xia Dongchun herself could not be so noble, great and selfless, but this did not prevent her from appreciating Jianqiu's loyalty.

Thinking of this, Xia Dongchun acted like a good person for once and buried Jianqiu together with her master.

After the concubines in the palace saw Yixiu off for the last time, the fight began again.

There is no other reason. Since the position of Queen has become vacant, there is no reason not to fill it.

Although there was a period of time when there was no queen in the harem of the previous emperor Kangxi, was that after the death of three queens of Kangxi?

Well, if that's the case, it seems that two of my wives have died nowadays.

This……

This seems to be a bad omen.

But this does not stop officials from racking their brains to grab that position for their relatives.

A number of Manchu families with prominent surnames felt that their daughters were suitable for this position, especially since their daughters had given birth to a prince for the emperor.

If my daughter becomes the Empress, wouldn't the child she gives birth to be a legitimate son?

Then the status is very different.

For this reason, several members of several major Manchu families and factions have been fighting each other in the court recently.

Everyone put aside the topic of who would be the crown prince for the time being and started the battle for the queen.

Everyone asked Your Majesty, what do you think? Your Majesty, who do you prefer?

Fat Orange:......

Fat Ju didn't want to watch it. He was very dissatisfied with the ministers' attempt to form a clique and then use moral blackmail to blackmail him.

According to Fat Ju, he was quite satisfied with the situation before. In fact, the queen was lying there motionless before. What difference did it make whether she was there or not?

He continued to have concubines and children.

No, more children are born.

Why bring in a new queen to annoy people?

Now these ministers are fighting for the position of queen and crown prince and are very disunited with each other, which makes Fat Orange very satisfied.

If the position of Queen was decided, why would these ministers have so much fun making fun of themselves?

However, she cannot hold the position of queen for long, otherwise it will be detrimental to maintaining stability.

But, if any of those ladies from wealthy families, especially those who gave birth to sons, were to sit on the throne of queen, wouldn't that be telling everyone who Pang Ju preferred as the crown prince?

This is not what Fat Orange wants to see.

Although he vomited blood last time, coupled with Yixiu's death this time, Fat Ju felt that he was indeed old, and it was time to consider the issue of succession.

But the key is that these children are still young. Pangju feels that it is still difficult to tell which one of these children is smart and capable of taking on important tasks.

He was still examining his children one by one and did not want to disrupt the current delicate balance.

So, Fat Orange chose Xia Dongchun.

He thinks that the best scapegoat for the infertile, fat orange girl is the queen.

Xia Dongchun is great. Xia Dongchun has managed the harem for many years for her own sake, and the harem has become more and more harmonious under Xia Dongchun's management.

The phenomenon that concubines would pull each other's hair and then ask him to judge the dispute has rarely appeared in recent years.

Not to mention that although Xia Dongchun cannot give birth herself, under her management, his luck in having children has been quite good in recent years.

Summer, winter and spring bring prosperity to him!

This is what Pang Ju, a loyal fan of superstitious activities such as Buddhism and Taoism, thinks.

So, when the Tibetans were about to fight to death, he firmly announced in the court that he would make Xia Dongchun his successor.

This……

It's not impossible.

Well, everyone thinks that Xia Dongchun is not a threat because he has no son.

Rather than letting other concubines with sons be promoted, which would be disadvantageous to their family, it is better to let Xia Dongchun, a tool, take the position. This way, no one gains any advantage.

Ahem, the fact of cheating is really too serious. No matter whether they are smart or not, they all did not tell their mother's family. Therefore, everyone thinks that the child born by their daughter/niece/granddaughter is the emperor's child.

In such a strange atmosphere, Xia Dongchun became the queen.

Fat Ju came to Xia Dongchun's room that night with a polite gesture.

Well, it's not that I came here just to sleep. Fat Ju, who was suspicious to the core, asked tentatively what Xia Dongchun thought about the candidate for the crown prince.

What can Xia Dongchun think?

They are all his sons anyway, so whoever ascends the throne has to provide good food and drink to his biological father, right?

So for Xia Dongchun, what does it matter who ascends the throne?

Xia Dongchun has become such a thing. Can you still expect him to have a conscience and devote himself selflessly and wholeheartedly to his children?

That doesn't exist. He just wants to live a comfortable life.

As for the rest, who cares?

What did the fight between those kids and the dog brains they left behind have to do with his successor, Xia Dongchun?

At the beginning, there were people who wanted to start with Xia Dongchun, the biological father.

After all, in addition to the fact that Xia Dongchun himself is capable, which they all know, there is also the Xia family.

Xia Dongchun's father and brother have made many military achievements in the northwest over the years.

Because of Xia Dongchun's father and brother, the Qing Dynasty has never been worried about Galdan's affairs over the years.

With Xia Dongchun's reminder and Nian Gengyao's previous experience, Xia's father and brothers are absolutely respectful to Pangju. Xia Dongchun is infertile, so Pangju is now very relieved about the Xia family.

If Xia Dongchun is willing to help, or shows some preference to some of the children, that would be a help, right?

But Xia Dongchun had already stated that he did not oppose any child having ambitions and striving for what they wanted, but he would not favor anyone.

Xia Dongchun was determined and everyone had to fight on their own.

After a few more years, Fat Orange could keenly realize that his health was indeed not as good as before.

At this time, even if he wanted to deceive himself, he couldn't do it. Because recently, not only did Fat Orange have a lot of white hair and wrinkled skin, but he also vomited blood frequently.

It is unknown how long his broken body can last, so the selection of the crown prince must be decided as soon as possible without any further hesitation.

Taking into account his own physical health and the ages of his sons, Pangju finally chose Fucha's son as his heir.

First, Fu Cha's son is one of the older sons of Pang Ju, and second, Fu Cha's family does have considerable influence in the court.

If Fat Ju really can't live to see his son grow up, the capable people in the Fucha family can't bear to see Fucha's son in trouble.

It must be said that the appointment of Fat Ju as the crown prince was very timely.

Less than two years after the crown prince was appointed, when the court was barely able to feel a little more secure because of the succession, Fatty died.

No one was trying to harm him, it was just that he was too angry and took too many pills.

After Fat Ju died, the child born by Fucha became the new emperor.

Xia Dongchun was the Empress Dowager in name only, but in reality, the new emperor knew it very well, she was his biological father. Fucha was naturally another Empress Dowager, and Xia Dongchun didn't care what rank the others were promoted to.

Fat Ju is gone, and logically Xia Dongchun should have mourned for him for a very long time.

But this obviously does not exist. Ever since Fat Orange vomited blood and was powerless, Xia Dongchun took a pill of infertility medicine for himself in order to prevent unnecessary trouble.

So, now, before Fat Orange's coffin was completely carried out of the palace, he had already started a new round of pleasure-seeking.

New Emperor: ...

No eyes to see, really no eyes to see.

Knowing that you are my biological father, the rest of my brothers and sisters in the palace also know your true identity and true character.

But, but, but there are other princes and ministers in the palace who have come to mourn!

Dad, can't you be more low-key?

What would it look like if someone saw it?

But the new emperor also knew that he could not persuade Xia Dongchun.

It is always Xia Dongchun who is willing or unwilling to do things.

When the late emperor was alive, he might have occasionally pretended to be so, but now...

His own son has become the new emperor, and from the moment Fat Ju closed his eyes, Xia Dongchun began to let himself go more and more.

It must be said that the new emperor was desperate.

How to do it?

The ones who took the lead in causing trouble for him were his own parents. He couldn't control their actions and could only cover up for them.

Fortunately, in the end, his nominal father, the former master of this country, passed away safely.

Next, the new emperor began to manage the affairs of state with his brothers and sisters from different mothers.

It should be said that the pit is because everyone has two fathers and must keep the same secret. Even when the princes were fighting for the throne most fiercely, their relationship was not as disharmonious as when the previous emperor was fighting for the throne.

Therefore, with the fact that the new emperor had become the supreme ruler, everything was a foregone conclusion, and everyone actually started working seriously for the new emperor.
