The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

The two royal ladies were ordered to go on tour, so naturally there was quite a stir.

A group of imperial guards were sent out.

This year, a lot of fresh blood began to emerge in the inner court, which had been short of talent.

Before, the noble ladies of the capital who were still watching and did not dare to act easily, knew that if they did not take sides, they would miss their last chance after the princesses and princesses left the capital for tours.

They all stood up.

Don't stand out.

Not content with being ordinary.

It comes out at the right time.

The massive promotion of women's education has officially begun after overcoming the initial abortive period.

Before, when disbanding the harem, Jiang Lingyue wanted to keep them serving in the inner court, but many concubines chose to return home.

At this moment, some people began to regret their decision and submitted their applications to enter the palace, hoping to become female officials.

Jiang Lingyue picked and chose and accepted some of them.

However, the treatment given is no longer the same as before.

In the past, there was no one available in the inner court, so official positions were given out generously.

It was a good opportunity to get promoted if one made some achievements, but only the first group of female officials who left Beijing seized this opportunity.

At the peak time for promotions in the inner court, they all emerged and rose to high positions.

Basically, they are all third or fourth rank officials.

Now, with so many people pouring in at once, Jiang Lingyue became much more stingy with the rewards he gave.

After all, things are rare and valuable.

Some people lament, some sigh, and some work hard, hoping to catch up.

The two original high-ranking concubines in the harem, Concubine Hui Lu Mingyao and Concubine Shuyi Chen Zifang, are now both of the third rank.

She also holds a high position, and her current rank is even lower than her previous position in the harem, but the power she holds is completely incomparable.

Only they themselves knew how many dangers they had gone through to get to this point. In just two years, they were like being reborn, washing away the nobility in the deep palace and exuding a majestic aura, the aura of those who had truly seen blood and had their hands stained with countless lives, no less imposing than their fathers and brothers at home.

They were burdened with heavy responsibilities and had to travel away from Beijing all year round. When they returned, they only stayed for a few days.

She has become the queen's right-hand man and the best among the many female officials in the inner court.

When the little princess was one year old, the influence of the inner court had spread to the entire Han Dynasty.

Whether it is peddlers, gangsters, or even aristocrats, everyone knows that the status of women is rising rapidly.

Under such circumstances, the fact that the emperor has only one daughter inevitably makes people think too much.

In the court, countless ministers were staring at Jiang Lingyue's belly, hoping that she would give birth to a prince.

However, even though they were waiting till their eyes turned green with anticipation, there was still no news of the queen being pregnant.

In the dead of winter this year, the eldest son of the Xie family also turned one year old.

To the outside world, this is still Lord Ishihara's child.

He moved out of the Xie family, but still visited them from time to time.

Moreover, the Shi family always gave generous gifts during festivals.

If there are any rare items, they will be sent to this grandson raised in the Xie family.

With such a caring attitude, no one doubted that this was not Ishihara's biological child.

Even Xie Wan was a little confused.

She secretly asked her father whether her brother had the same father and mother or a different father.

Wang Shaofu, who once insisted that the child was his own flesh and blood, slowly shook his head and denied it this time.

He didn't have much time left and was already terminally ill. Xie Wan was the only relative he had.

That winter, despite all the dissuasion, he forced himself to go to Yunzhou in person to propose to the Liu family and arrange the marriage between his daughter and the youngest son of the Liu family.

After this trip, his health deteriorated and he fell ill.

Losing one's father is a serious form of filial piety, and children must observe mourning for three years. Xie Wan is already seventeen years old, and for her, three years is too long.

Wang Shaofu couldn't close his eyes in peace unless he saw his daughter getting married.

With his insistence, the wedding dates of the two families were moved forward a long time.

All procedures were kept simple, and the wedding day arrived in just three months.

The mother and daughter of the Xie family were both female officials in the inner court and were favorites of the Empress, but their status had changed a lot.

Naturally, there were many guests attending Xie Wan's wedding.

Wang Shaofu, who had not appeared in public for a long time, also showed up as the biological father.

This elegant young man, who was once famous in the capital, has lost a lot of weight. Perhaps it is because he is happy and he is in good spirits.

He had already given his daughter everything he could, and this time when he accepted the tea from the newlyweds, he only gave them a key to the warehouse.

Xie Wan shed tears and took it with both hands.

The wedding ceremony was completed smoothly.

After seeing off all the guests, the Xie Mansion became quiet again.

However, this time, the family has a son-in-law, which is considered a new addition. Perhaps within two years, there will be a few more little ones.

Everything is booming.

But Wang Shaofu was dying.

Ever since Xie Wan got married, he seemed to have fulfilled his last wish, and his body was visibly deteriorating.

Looking at the haggard man lying on the bed, Xie An Ning was more aware of this fact than ever before.

This man who has been entangled with her for two lifetimes.

Life has come to an end.

The once strong body is now drained of energy and blood.

He didn't even have the strength to hold her tightly and could only look at her with those eyes.

Xie Anning held him with trembling hands, and unknowingly, her eyes were red.

Wang Shaofu smiled at her and said, "Don't cry."

He moved in, "Come sit next to me, please."

The room was filled with the smell of medicine.

In the face of life and death, those emotions of love, hate, obsession and entanglement seemed to be more intense. Xie An Ning sniffed, lifted the quilt and got on the couch.

Wang Shaofu leaned his head on her legs, slightly tilted his head to look at her, his eyes full of longing and reluctance.

Xie Anning stroked his slightly graying hair, his voice choking slightly, "In that dream, your hair had turned gray, but you still looked like a human being back then."

"I was holding on," Wang Shaofu whispered, "I was holding on to that breath, wanting you to get what you wanted."

He didn't dare go down to see her until he had finished his work.

"An Ning..." Wang Shaofu held her hand and forced a smile, "I'm so mean. I don't want you to forget me until I die."

He died, but she still had a long life ahead of her.

Day after day, will she really forget him?

Tears fell on my face.

"I won't forget you," Xie Anning smiled bitterly, "How could I forget you?"

His existence has long been integrated into her life.

To forget him would be like cutting out one's own heart and flesh.

Xie Anning held his face and looked at him with red eyes, "Will you blame me?"

He didn't want to live alone after her death, so he died for love without hesitation. His feelings for her were unquestionable.

Now it was her turn, but she was far less courageous than him.

There are many people she can't let go of, and she is reluctant to accompany him through life and death.

Even though she was really uncomfortable.
