Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

Although Su Tong was not canonized as a concubine, she enjoyed the treatment of a concubine. Now she has both a son and a daughter, and has become the envy of others.

However, the emperor still fulfilled his promise, but it was three years later. He took the opportunity of conferring titles on the six palaces to directly appoint Su Tong as a concubine, and at the same time he appointed two imperial concubines.

The emperor is old, and both the former dynasty and the harem are clamoring to appoint a crown prince. Logically, only the eldest prince born by the queen is the most qualified because he is the eldest son and the legitimate son, and is the true next crown prince.

However, the emperor kept the matter to himself. Instead, he trusted the second and third princes of Western Xia very much. Not only did he give them great power, he even promoted people from the second and third princes' lineages.

After Su Tong saw this scene, his heart also began to lift. The most taboo thing in the court is party membership. However, in order to balance the power of the emperor, the emperor did not hesitate to promote several sons to fight each other. What is the difference between this and letting his sons kill each other? You must know that if there was no Yongzheng to turn the tide after Kangxi, the Qing Dynasty would have perished long ago.

The mothers of several princes also wanted to compete. After all, one of them was a noble concubine and the other was a concubine, and each of them had a prominent family background. How could they be content to be an ordinary concubine?

The Queen Mother has a good family background, but after so many years, there is no one worth mentioning in the family. The family has fallen on hard times over the years and cannot provide much help to her son. Fortunately, her son has reached the age of clarity, and the Queen Mother wants to find him a wife with a prominent family background.

The queen selected several ladies, all of whom were from prominent families and had noble character. She thought the emperor would hesitate, but he agreed without hesitation, and even made one of them, who had a prominent family background and was married to his son, a concubine.

Just when the queen was overwhelmed with joy, the emperor suddenly issued an edict to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince and also appointed the other two princes as kings, and also granted them several extremely prominent marriages.

Now it was Su Tong's turn to be confused. What on earth was the emperor thinking? If I had just let his sons fight each other, I wouldn't have promoted the eldest son to be the crown prince, and then promoted the other two sons. This...

Su Tong had a vague idea of the emperor's thoughts, but he didn't say it out loud. As the emperor got older, he came to his place more and more frequently, but most of the time he came to rest. The entire harem knew that he had the skill of making incense. The spices he made could not only calm the mind and soul, but also had a charming fragrance that was refreshing.

After the emperor fell asleep, Su Tong breathed a sigh of relief, tiptoed outside, and asked everyone below to keep their voices down. The emperor finally opened his eyes when it was getting dark.

Zhao Yan hadn't slept so soundly for a long time. Ever since his sons showed their ambitions, Zhao Yan had been worried and trying his best every day. He hoped that his sons would be more capable, but also hoped that his sons would not be too capable.

Seeing that the emperor had woken up, Su Tong considerately handed him a cup of chrysanthemum tea and asked the two children to come over. The emperor was old and might not live for many years, so he had to save some things for the two children at this time.

Zhao Yan still loved these two children a little, especially Su Tongsheng's daughter, who was fair and tender, and looked like a dumpling when she smiled.

Perhaps it was precisely because they were daughters that the emperor could pamper them without worry. It could be said that apart from the queen's children, Su Tong's two children enjoyed the most fatherly love.

The main reason why Zhao Yan likes to come to Su Tong's place is that it is quiet here, and there are no messy calculations. He has been to other concubines before, but the young ones don't know how to serve people. They chatter in his ears, and the old ones have their own calculations. It takes a lot of thought to say a word to each other, which is really tiring.

Su Tong originally thought that the emperor would live to be over 50, so that he could at least wait until his son came of age. However, the emperor's health began to deteriorate just after he turned , and he suffered several illnesses since the winter this year.

Su Tong didn't have any special feelings in her heart. The emperor was dead, so he was dead. She had both a son and a daughter, and the princes now all had fiefs. She didn't know which land her son would be allocated after the emperor died. When he came of age, she would move out with her son and become a free and easy widow.

After the beginning of spring, the emperor's health gradually improved, and those concubines who had no children breathed a sigh of relief, at least they could still try again.

Su Tong actually didn't like the system of burying people alive with their parents, but it was not something he set. The only thing he could do was to instruct his son to abolish this damn feudal system after he died.

I thought the yellow color could last for a few more years, but it failed as soon as autumn came. But at least they found a way out for the concubines with sons, such as the other adult princes were divided out, and even Su Tong's son got a fief.

Su Tong's sons are in Huguang, a land of fish and rice, the most prosperous.

The fief of Sister Qing's son is a bit far away. It is said that it is in Sichuan and Shu. After the two sisters learned about this, they held hands and sighed several times. They thought they could be neighbors again this time, but in the end they were separated by a long distance and they didn't know when they would meet next time.

The emperor did a good thing before his death. Although he did not abolish the system of burying concubines alive with the dead, concubines who had no children did not have to be buried alive with the dead. Instead, they had to stay in the ancestral temple first and then be buried together in the mausoleum after their death.

The Queen Mother eventually became the winner, but the first thing she did was to lock up the mothers of the two princes in the ancestral temple. She said that the Emperor wanted the two concubines to be buried with him before his death, but the Queen Mother was magnanimous and only allowed the two concubines to accompany the Emperor, which was already a great mercy.

The two princes naturally didn't believe it, but since ancient times, the winners are kings and the losers are bandits. Besides, the mothers of the two princes were not forced to be buried alive, they were just locked up in the family temple. No matter what, a concubine is a concubine. When the emperor was still alive, he would protect his concubines, but now that the emperor is gone, this is the queen's world.

Su Tong had a pretty good relationship with the queen. Even though his son was not yet an adult, after Su Tong finished mourning for the emperor, he took his son back to his fiefdom, planning never to come to the capital again in his life.

His parents were old, and he had gone out to work, so the whole family moved directly to his construction site to reunite. It was a blessing in disguise. After his daughter grew up, Shutong found a kind and honest man for her, and they watched them get married and have children.

Everything was going well, and she even became a grandmother, but the emperor passed away. Originally, Xixia did have two sickly little princes, but one of them died of poisoning a while ago, and now this one is in a very sickly state and it is obvious that he will not live long.

As expected, the little prince died before he could succeed to the throne. Whether he died of illness or unjustly, only they themselves knew it.
