The Poisonous Concubine is alive
Chapter 58: Happiness in the Deep Palace
After attending court every day, the emperor would go to see his grandson.
Don’t disturb the couple from showing their affection.
Many court officials always wanted to marry Ye Chenxuan, but he refused. They all gave the same reason, "My wife is pregnant. You can look at those princes." How could a prince like himself set such an example and let Liu Yunrou suffer grievances? Ye Chenxuan felt that even if his father wanted him to take a concubine, he could not do so.
Ye Chenxuan would say, "Get out of here. If you want to marry, marry me. I will marry Liu Yunrou in this life. Even if she has no money or power, he will still marry her. He only wants Liu Yunrou to kill one of the others when he sees her. I'll see how many come. If they are not afraid of death, come and I will kill them all."
However, Ye Chenxuan's father could not do such a thing. After all, he only had one wife, the queen.
If the queen knew that she was looking for a concubine for her child, she would be afraid that she would be beheaded with a big knife.
The Nangong family has very strict rules.
The empress dowager knew that the emperor was angry with the empress and her granddaughter-in-law, and she really wanted to beat this unfilial emperor so hard that he could not get up again.
Within the ancient palace, Ye Chenxuan's great-grandmother sat upon a golden chair adorned with carved dragons and painted phoenixes. Though her features were marked by the marks of time, her eyes still shone with an inviolable light. Today, she felt an unusually heavy heart, having learned of the unfair treatment her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law had suffered within the palace. The bitterness of her grievances pierced her heart, a heart that had weathered countless storms, like a sharp blade.
The Empress Dowager's fingers tapped gently on the back of the chair, each tap seeming to pierce the silence in the air. Her eyes gradually grew sharper. In this world woven of power and conspiracy, she had witnessed too much betrayal and sacrifice, but she had never imagined that a member of her family would be harmed in this seemingly glorious palace.
An uncontrollable rage surged in her heart, a rage against injustice, a desire to protect the weak, and even more so, a defense of her family's dignity. She decided not to remain silent and not allow those who dared to harm her family to go unpunished.
The Empress Dowager slowly stood up, her figure appearing particularly majestic in the light of the palace lanterns. She ordered her attendants to summon the Emperor, her voice calm yet powerful, as if she had already foreseen the coming storm.
As the Yellow Emperor entered this palace steeped in history, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. The Empress Dowager's gaze pierced his defenses like a sharp arrow, causing him to tremble uncontrollably. He knew that this time, he would have to pay the price for his actions.
Under the stern questioning and unquestionable gaze of the Empress Dowager, the Yellow Emperor finally bowed his head, admitted his mistakes, and promised the Empress Dowager that he would take all measures to make up for the damage he had caused.
The Empress Dowager didn't immediately react. She knew the game of thrones demanded caution, but she was determined not to allow anyone to harm her family again. Her words were like a winter wind, cold and biting: "Emperor, you must understand that family honor is above all else. I don't want what happened today to happen again. If you do, I will not forgive you, even if you are the Emperor."
Under the pressure of the Empress Dowager, the Yellow Emperor could only humbly agree, his heart filled with fear and awe. He knew that from this moment on, he must act with even greater caution, for the old woman sitting on the golden chair possessed the power to shake the entire dynasty. And all this was due solely to her deep love for her family and her unwavering commitment to justice.
Deep within the Forbidden City, Empress Dowager Mingde, Su Mingyue, reigned supreme, holding supreme honor and authority. Mother of both the Emperor and the Empress, her position was exalted, her every word and deed swaying the court and the people. Yet, within the Empress Dowager's heart, a deep love for her family transcended the formalities of the palace and the worldly pursuits of fame and fortune.
One day, the Queen Mother heard that her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law had been wronged in the palace. The injustice burned in her heart like a raging fire. Her eyes instantly became sharp, like ice blades in the cold winter, and her fingers clenched into fists, as if she wanted to crush all the injustice.
The Queen Mother didn't hesitate at all. She stood up and walked towards the emperor and his grandson's bedroom with firm and powerful steps. Her face was expressionless, but her eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.
When the emperor and his grandson saw the empress dowager arrive, they were filled with fear. They had never seen the empress dowager so angry before; her rage was like thunder, sending shockwaves through their hearts.
The Queen Mother stood before them, her voice calm yet cold: "As emperors, you cannot protect your own families, allowing them to suffer injustice in the palace. What a dereliction of duty, what incompetence!"
The emperor and his grandson knelt on the ground, their foreheads touching the cold earth, their hearts filled with guilt and fear. They knew that the empress dowager's words were like the sword of judgment, and once they fell, it would be the dividing line between life and death.
The Queen Mother didn't give them a chance to explain. Suddenly, a jade ruyi, a symbol of imperial majesty, appeared in her hand. She wielded it, mercilessly striking the Emperor and his grandson. Her movements were decisive and resolute, each blow laced with endless anger and disappointment.
The palace maids panicked, but they dared not step forward to stop her. In this palace, the Queen Mother's authority was unmatched, and her decisions were destiny.
After the Queen Mother finished beating him, her breathing gradually calmed, and a hint of fatigue appeared in her eyes. She looked at the Emperor and his grandson kneeling on the ground, and her voice was filled with resignation: "You should know that family harmony is more precious than any power. I hope that what happened today will be the last. From now on, you must set an example and protect your families. Don't let me see this happen again."
The emperor and his grandson kowtowed in apology. Although their bodies ached, the shock in their hearts far outweighed the pain. They knew that the lesson the empress dowager had taught them would be one they would never forget.
From then on, the emperor and his grandson never let the empress dowager down again, and they began to cherish and protect their family even more. And the Mingde Empress Dowager Su Mingyue proved with her actions that even the supreme empress dowager had a soft yet firm heart.
Within the palace walls, the Empress's daily life was filled with endless responsibilities and care. At the first light of dawn each morning, she would don her opulent palace attire and hurried through the winding corridors, her destination always the tranquil palace belonging to her son and daughter-in-law. In her heart, she harbored a deep maternal love and an earnest desire for family harmony.
The Empress knew that palace life wasn't as glamorous as it appeared to the outside world, but rather concealed hidden hardships and challenges. Therefore, her daily visits were not only a gesture of care for her son and daughter-in-law, but also a form of silent support and protection. She hoped that her presence would bring them a sense of stability and strength.
Yet, the vastness of the palace made its hearts unpredictable. Despite the Queen's daily presence, many subtle disturbances escaped her notice. Hidden grievances, misunderstandings, and petty disputes often quietly emerged and faded amidst the hustle and bustle of the palace. Though her eyes were sharp, the Queen could not discern the truth in every corner.
Whenever the queen entered the palace of her son and daughter-in-law, she would carefully observe their expressions and listen to their words, trying to grasp their true feelings from these tiny details. She would inquire about the details of daily life of the palace servants, ensuring that everything was on track. But even so, there were always some things that were like the mist in the palace, elusive and difficult to grasp.
The Queen knew that she couldn't always be by her son and daughter-in-law's side, but she believed that her love and care could be a safe haven for their hearts. She hoped that even when she couldn't see them, they could still feel her support and bravely face every challenge in life.
In the Queen's heart, family harmony far outweighed the struggle for power. Through her actions, she exemplified the responsibility of a mother and a queen. She hoped that her example would help others understand that, regardless of one's position, family warmth and harmony remain the most precious treasure.
In this way, the queen's daily visits became a sight to behold in the palace. Her presence was like the warm spring sun, warm and resolute. Her love, like a steady stream, silent yet profound, nourished the future and hope of this ancient dynasty.
In that era, the emperor's harem resembled a star-studded night sky, each dotted with stars, each in its proper place. However, in this story, the emperor's harem resembles a clear lake bathed in moonlight, with only one lotus blossoming alone—that being Empress Shen Yueling.
Empress Shen Yueling, her name evocative of a spring breeze caressing willow branches, is gentle yet resilient. She is not only the emperor's sole consort but also the administrator of the harem, shouldering the heavy responsibility of maintaining order. In this harem, her sole occupant, she serves as wife, empress, and even mistress of the palace.
With her exceptional wisdom and noble character, Shen Yueling managed the harem in perfect order. Her management was like a steady stream, silently nourishing everything. She didn't have to deal with the intrigues among the concubines, because she was the only one; she didn't have to deal with the complex power struggles, because the emperor had no room for her.
In this environment, Empress Shen Yueling was able to devote more energy to cultural education and social affairs. She promoted many policies that benefited national development and also worked to enhance the cultural atmosphere of the palace, making it not only a political center but also a platform for cultural exchange.
Shen Yueling's daily life was filled with a sense of ritual and responsibility. She would inspect palace affairs daily to ensure everything ran smoothly. She would discuss state affairs with the emperor, offering her insights and suggestions. She also found time to spend with the emperor, sharing many warm and beautiful moments together.
In a harem dominated by only the Empress, Shen Yueling's presence is particularly precious. She is not only the Emperor's companion, but also his confidant and friend. Her wisdom and charm earn the Emperor's respect, and their relationship becomes even stronger and deeper.
While Empress Shen Yueling's life is free from the worries of competing for favor within the harem, she still faces numerous challenges. She must constantly improve herself to meet the demands of her role as empress. Each day is fulfilling and meaningful, and she demonstrates through her actions that a woman's value lies not only in her beauty but also in her wisdom and talent.
In a harem dominated by only the Empress, Shen Yueling's story became a legend. Her name and deeds were celebrated by generations to come, becoming a symbol of female strength. Though her life was unique, she wrote her own glorious chapter in her own way.
In that distant dynasty, the Nangong family, with its prestigious throne and profound heritage, became the pillar of the imperial family. Like the endless rivers and mountains, the family's bloodline, passed down from generation to generation, carried the nation's glory and aspirations. In every generation, women rose to the throne of empress, their wisdom and beauty like bright lights, illuminating the path of the imperial family.
This generation's empress, Shen Yueling, was the pride of the Nangong family and the one and only love in the emperor's heart. Her beauty was like a peach blossom in full bloom in spring, gentle and charming; her wisdom was like the bright moon on an autumn night, clear and bright. The emperor doted on her, and she was the only one in the harem who enjoyed his unwavering love and respect.
Shen Yueling bore the Emperor six princes and two princesses. Their births, like stars descending from heaven, brought endless joy and hope to the imperial family. The six princes were handsome and talented, and under the Empress's guidance, they learned the wisdom and kindness of governing a nation. The two princesses were gentle, charming, and intelligent, and under the Empress's guidance, they learned how to overcome hardness with gentleness and win over others with virtue.
The Queen's children are like shining gems inlaid on the royal crown, adding to its brilliance. Their growth bears witness to the close bond between the Nangong family and the royal family, and also foreshadows a prosperous future.
In a harem dominated by only one empress, Shen Yueling's position is unchallenged. She is not only the emperor's beloved, but also the loving mother of the princes and princesses. Her presence ensures the stability of this vast empire amidst all the storms. Her wisdom and compassion, like warm sunshine, illuminate every corner.
Shen Yueling's life was a legendary one, her story passed down through generations and has become an eternal legend. With her own life, she exemplified what a true queen and a true mother were, and her name will be forever etched in the pages of history.
As the princes and princesses grew up, Shen Yueling focused on cultivating their moral character and abilities. She invited the finest teachers to teach them literature, art, and martial arts, nurturing them to become both virtuous and talented individuals. She also frequently taught them personally, using her own experience and wisdom to guide them down the right path.
As time went by, the princes gradually grew up and began to demonstrate their talents. Among them, the most outstanding was the second son, Ye Chenxuan. He was both wise and brave, and was deeply loved by the emperor and his ministers. The princesses also grew up to be graceful and intelligent.
Under Shen Yueling's meticulous guidance, the royal family found a successor and the nation prospered. Her hard work paid off, and the Nangong family's glory became even more dazzling. She became a model of a virtuous queen, praised by later generations.
Ye Chenyu is also a good prince.
