Two years passed in a flash, and some things happened during these two years. First, the most favored second prince died of smallpox. The queen cried breathlessly, but she could only cheer up because the women in the harem were watching her covetously. If she wanted to secure her position as queen, she had to show the magnanimity of a queen.

The queen did not live for herself alone, but shouldered the glory of the entire Fucha family. Gao became more and more favored, but because she had no children, she had been depressed all these years.

There were several more princes in the harem, including the fourth prince born to Concubine Jia, the fifth prince born to Concubine Yu (yes, the legendary male protagonist), and the sixth prince born to Concubine Chun.

The most favored concubines in the harem today are Concubine Chun and Concubine Jia. Although these two concubines have no family background, they both have children and are favored by the emperor. Their status in the harem is also extraordinary and they can be regarded as a force.

Su Tong couldn't help but sigh that Qianlong was much luckier than his biological father Yongzheng. At least he didn't encounter too many obstacles when he ascended the throne. The only thing he was worried about in his life was that the Holy Mother Empress Dowager was still alive, but that was not a big deal. It was enough for him to be a filial son.

The women in the harem were all charming and beautiful. The most important thing was that there was no fighting among them. Even if there were some dirty things, they were just small fights at most. It was far from as intense as that in Qianlong's harem. Think about Zhen Huan...

Oh, I almost forgot that there is no Zhen Huan in this world. Although she is still Concubine Xi, the current Holy Mother Empress Dowager is the legitimate mother of Emperor Qianlong.

The most important thing is that Qianlong's sons were born one after another. In history, Qianlong had many sons, and there were so many surviving sons that he ignored his own legitimate son.

Su Tong was cruel to Qianlong, but now was not the right time to take revenge. He had to wait a little longer. However, thinking that the other party loved Gao the most...

Gao's pregnancy was like a thunderclap that shook the entire harem. Especially when the concubines went to pay their respects to the queen, they all looked at each other in bewilderment. According to the emperor's favor for Concubine Gao, she was equivalent to another Huang Taiji and Hai Lanzhu.

Especially since the queen doesn't have a prince yet, if Concubine Gao gives birth to a little prince, then he will definitely be the next heir to the throne.

Su Tong really wanted to see whether Empress Fucha, who was always known for her gentleness and propriety, would take action. He also wanted to see whether the weak and graceful Concubine Gao was as kind as the legend said.

Su Tong also wanted Qianlong to watch his two favorite women fighting each other, and watch his most anticipated son miscarry, so that they could torture each other.

Empress Fucha certainly would not allow a newborn child to threaten her, but now was not a good opportunity to take action, so she could only hold herself back, but she continued to make small moves behind her back.

During the time that Concubine Gao was in her palace, quite a few minor incidents occurred. First, there was a wild cat that inexplicably ran into the room, and then there were snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Concubine Gao also knew that it was the Queen who had been behind the scenes. She had not been pregnant for so many years, and now that she finally had news of pregnancy, she naturally regarded this child as her only support.

Qianlong was also looking forward to the arrival of this child. Even when Concubine Gao's belly was just three months old, Qianlong couldn't wait to declare that this was his first son. If the child had not been born yet, Qianlong would have made this child the crown prince long ago. Such doting put Concubine Gao in the spotlight.

"Madam Empress, I am here to pay my respects to you."

After October, the first snow fell in the Forbidden City. The red walls and white snow, combined with the majestic Forbidden City, created a magnificent sight.

Su Tong went to Yime Garden early in the morning to pick a few plum blossoms. He asked someone to find a pair of fine blue and white porcelain vases from his dowry and brought the things to pay his respects to his mother, the Empress Dowager.

My mother, the Queen Mother, is not a fool. Considering the recent rumors in the palace, even if she is not in charge of the palace affairs now, she still has a few people under her control.

"Maybe it's because good things are about to happen. The palace has been in a mess recently. You should stay out of your palace unless necessary." The Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, was also willing to give some advice to her younger generation. Although these methods were child's play for them, there was no guarantee that they would not affect Su Tong, so she still had to give some advice.

"I'm not a fool. Besides, the harem hasn't been this lively for a long time." Su Tong did not hide his likes and dislikes.

"It's fine that she was made a royal concubine without a son, but she was even promised the other party the one and only royal concubine. Letting a slave climb over the heads of our Manchu clan, isn't this a slap in our faces?

And the virtuous Empress Fucha, do you really think that I don't know who sent those extra things in my palace? You think you are virtuous, but they are really not good things. "

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes, "The Queen is indeed distracted."

Empress Fucha wanted to please the Emperor, so she tried her best to please the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, thus neglecting her mother, the Empress Dowager. You must know that as long as her mother, the Empress Dowager, is still alive, she will always be the legitimate wife.

That's exactly why Concubine Xi found an excuse to go to Mount Wutai. Nominally, she was praying for the late emperor, but in fact, she didn't want to suffer the humiliation in the harem.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, unless one is male and the other is female. Especially when there are two empresses dowager in the harem all of a sudden, even if nothing is said, people will still be worried in their hearts.

The Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager have a natural status advantage. The current Emperor governs the country with filial piety. Unless you want to be cursed, you can only respectfully address your Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager as the orthodox one in this life.

This is also the reason why Qianlong was in trouble. Qianlong had a very smooth life. Before he ascended the throne, Yongzheng had cleared all obstacles for him and directly adopted the third prince, making Qianlong the eldest son.

But it was precisely because everything was going smoothly that Qianlong became a little proud. In addition, Qianlong was a suspicious person. In recent years, he was also quite wary of the Ulanara family because of the Empress Dowager Virgin. If it were not for your method, Qianlong would have respected the Niukuru family as his real outsider family.

Because of this, the Empress Dowager also wanted to teach the other party a lesson and let Qianlong know that the so-called smooth sailing was just the other party's illusion. Especially in recent years, there has been a lot of uproar outside. Some people said that Qianlong was not the biological son of Concubine Xi, but was born to a woman named Qian.

Qianlong even wanted to take his own life, but when his biological mother, the Empress Dowager, found out, her face turned blue with anger. If Qianlong really did this, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of Yongzheng?

Even though the Empress Dowager and the late Emperor treated each other with respect, they were still husband and wife after all, and if Qianlong found a fictitious woman as his biological mother, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of his legal wife? People who didn't know would think that he, the Empress, was intolerant.

Coupled with all this mess, Qianlong has been very busy recently. At least the affairs of the previous dynasty have been in chaos. Some people doubt Qianlong's bloodline, and some even doubt that Qianlong is not Yongzheng's son at all.

Qianlong was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling. If he was not the biological son of the Emperor's father, he might not be able to sit on the throne steadily, not to mention that his biological mother, the Empress Dowager, was still alive. If the other party casually recognized a son, then he would be a legitimate son, and his status would be much higher than his own.
