The wives of the concubines are empresses

Xia You, a modern rich lady, wakes up and finds that everything she sees is unfamiliar.

"Princess, you're awake."

Xia You was startled. "Princess? What's going on? Are you filming?"

It happened so quickly. Xia You looked at the person who was speaking. It was a girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. Thinking of the ancient Chinese novels he had read, she was a real girl.

Xia You wasn't sure if it was a filming, so he had to ask politely first.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

The girl was horrified. "Princess, don't you recognize me?"

Xia You was depressed: Why is she still called a princess? Could it be that she really died and was reborn into someone else's body?

Seeing that her princess was still in a daze, Lianhua was about to cry.

"Princess, please don't scare me. I'm timid." After saying this, she burst into tears in anxiety.

Xia You took a deep breath and exhaled, "What's my name?"

Mu Xiang beside her trembled and said, "Shangguan's surname is Wanjun, and she is fourteen years old."

Their princess will be coming of age in a year. By then, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Hui will definitely choose a good son-in-law for their princess. After all, the Empress Dowager truly loves the princess.

Xia You whispered softly, "Shangguan, Wanjun, Fourteen..."

But why is her mind blank and she has no memory at all?

Fengyi Palace

The queen, dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe, was terrified at this moment.

"Your Majesty is ill, so I must make plans early."

Although she was the queen, she did not give birth to a prince, not even a biological child. Her only adopted daughter was abducted from someone else.

Nanny Li was the Queen's bride-to-be and was loyal and devoted.

"My lady, you still have a princess."

The Queen shook her head. "But she is not a prince after all. If His Majesty dies without a son, I'm afraid he will have to establish a son of the royal family. If that happens, who will still remember me, the Queen, and our Lan family?"

She felt extremely sad when she thought of her young daughter who had not yet reached marriage age.

"He is a child of an outsider, and he is asked to treat the late emperor's child well. I am afraid... my princess is still so young..." The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became. She simply didn't dare to imagine it anymore.

Dragon's Dormitory

The atmosphere in the palace was depressed, the imperial doctors were helpless, and the emperor was beyond help.

The emperor on the dragon bed is over fifty years old. He has lived a dissolute life and has very few offspring.

He looked at the bed curtains and recalled his life, which seemed to be nothing he had accomplished.

Whether it was the country or his women, he was a failure.

The emperor shed two lines of tears at the corners of his eyes, and suddenly came to his senses, but it was too late.

Thinking of his only daughter, who was lively and pretty, the emperor felt a little relieved.

He spoke with difficulty, "Someone come..."

A eunuch came forward and said, "Your Majesty, this old servant is here."

The emperor looked at him and said, "Princess, please come to see me."

He felt that he was dying and wanted to see his only daughter before he left.

At this time, the queen had arrived at the Dragon Palace.

"The Queen is here!"

The palace maids knelt one after another, and with the support of Nanny Li, the queen walked quickly towards the bedroom.

The emperor naturally heard the sound.

"Queen..."

The queen had already arrived in front of the bed. She looked at the man who had been with her for decades, and her heart was filled with bitterness.

"Queen...you are here."

The queen slowly sat down beside the bed and said, "Your Majesty, it's you, my concubine."

She finally reached out and held those hands that had already been weathered. "Your Majesty, I have been your young wife. Although I have no merits, I have worked hard for you."

The emperor was stunned when he heard the queen's depressed words.

"Yes, the Queen wants to say something to me."

The Queen said solemnly, "I and my family want to live, and we also have our only daughter. I bet you don't want to see her die or be bullied."

The emperor nodded with difficulty.

"I have never asked you for anything. Please issue an edict to make our princess the Crown Princess and let her inherit the throne."

The emperor's cloudy eyes glanced at him, "You..."

"Please."

Except for Eunuch Lin, all the palace maids were dismissed.

The emperor said with difficulty, "Okay, she is my daughter, and it is only right that she inherits the throne."

The queen smiled with tears in her eyes and took out the imperial edict that had been written long ago in her arms.

"For the sake of legitimacy, please have the emperor affix the imperial seal."

The emperor looked at his father-in-law and said, "Yexue, bring me the imperial seal. I want to stamp it."

Eunuch Lin was shocked, then reacted and quickly left to get the jade seal.

When the ministers saw that the emperor had not attended court for half a month, many of them felt extremely distressed.

Imperial Palace

A eunuch hurriedly asked for a meeting, and Lianhua quickly returned to the bedroom after hearing it.

"Princess, the Emperor summons you to the Dragon's Chamber."

Princess Zhaolan, whose soul is Xia You and whose body is Shangguan Wanjun, was stunned.

"What."

In the Dragon's Bedroom, Shangguan Wanjun lifted her skirt and walked into the bedroom hesitantly.

"Princess Zhaolan has arrived!"

When the Emperor and Empress heard the announcement, they all looked towards the pretty and gentle figure at the door.

At this time, the imperial edict had already been placed on the queen's chest.

When he saw his daughter, a rare loving smile appeared in the emperor's eyes.

"Jun'er, come to Father's side."

Shangguan Wanjun raised her eyes to look at the queen, and when she saw her nod, she silently walked towards the dragon bed.

The emperor in the bright yellow inner garment was actually her father in this life?

But he doesn't seem to be in good health.

Despite her hesitation, Shangguan Wanjun still bent down and squatted.

"Father..." God knows he shouted these two words with gritted teeth, which really made it difficult for her.

The emperor raised his hand and stroked the girl's cheek. Her cheek was round and cute, and her eyes were filled with pity, which softened the emperor's lonely heart.

Some ministers outside the palace are asking for a meeting!

Seeing that the emperor was more angry than relieved, the empress sent people to notify the various palaces and civil and military officials to enter the palace.

All the concubines in the harem entered the bedroom and knelt. Soon after, all officials above the fourth rank entered the palace one after another.

The emperor looked at his concubines and ministers, his eyelids so tired that he just wanted to fight.

He just raised his hand and was about to speak, but the ministers were all shocked to find that the emperor's hand suddenly dropped.

"emperor……"

More than a dozen ministers were shocked. The emperor passed away without saying a single word.

Inside the bedroom, Eunuch Lin collected his thoughts, adjusted his mood, and sang loudly.

"His Majesty has passed away!"

The officials in the outer hall were all shocked.

"emperor……"

The queen looked at her husband who had been with her for decades, closed her eyes forever, and tears finally fell.

In the Golden Palace, all the ministers stood in order, and in the palace sat the empress with a stern face.

A minister stepped forward and said, "Empress, the late emperor has passed away. The country cannot be without a leader for a single day. We must elect a new emperor and ascend the throne as soon as possible to stabilize the country and avoid unrest."

The queen looked at the person who spoke, Prime Minister Bai Chengbei.

Ministers came out one after another, and they all talked about the funeral of the late emperor and the coronation of the new emperor. The queen had already become numb to it.

The ministers were very puzzled when they saw the queen in mourning clothes and reluctant to speak.

Some ministers recommended the direct descendants of Emperor Taizu's cousin. Seeing that more and more ministers agreed, the empress frowned more and more.

The atmosphere in the Golden Throne Hall was extremely depressing.

When the queen's eyebrows moved slightly, Tutor Yun stepped out.

"Empress, the late emperor had no princes, and Emperor Taizu had no other descendants..."

Before he could finish, the Queen interrupted him.

"Master, are you going to support the person they recommended?"

Feeling the Queen's condescending gaze, Master Yun sighed deeply.
