Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Concubine Qian tried to remain calm and said, "Eunuch Li? I wonder why two Eunuch Lis came to my palace so late at night?"

Li Xiang stood at the doorway, not going in. Li Zhong said, "Mr. Qian, this is a gift from His Majesty. Please use it."

Concubine Qian's heart was pounding. She tried to remain calm, but when she saw what was on the tray in the little eunuch's hand, she screamed in surprise.

Li Zhongyinyin: "It seems that Mr. Qian knows what this is, so there is no need to introduce it. Come here..."

Concubine Qian screamed, "What are you going to do? I want to see His Majesty! I am His Majesty's concubine and the eldest prince's biological mother. Who dares to touch me? Yes, I am still the eldest prince's biological mother. I want to see His Majesty!"

Li Xiang said from afar at the door: "Lady Qian, you are no longer the eldest prince's biological mother. His Majesty has ordered that all people, things, and things related to you in the palace be erased without leaving any trace. From now on, there will be only one person who will be the eldest prince's mother, and that is Concubine Wan." Nothing could be more cruel than killing someone and destroying their heart.

Concubine Qian's throat felt like it was being strangled. "Impossible... Impossible, I am the eldest prince's biological mother... Concubine Wan has already taken him away to raise him, so is she going to take away my identity as his biological mother?"

Li Zhongdao said, "You know what Concubine Qian did. How can the eldest prince hold his head high in the future when he has you as his biological mother? Your Majesty, this is for the eldest prince's future. Alright, Xiao Fuzi, Xiao Luzi, take action!"

Concubine Qian watched in horror as the two young eunuchs came closer and closer to her...

The atmosphere within the six palaces suddenly grew tense. Many eunuchs and servants from the Embroidery Workshop, the Imperial Clothing Bureau, and the Imperial Household Department were taken to the Prudent Conduct Department. Many disappeared from the palace, while others were transferred or demoted. Emperor Shenwu seized this opportunity to overhaul the three offices, significantly impacting the connections of the three concubines. Even more secretive were the eunuchs and servants of the Rain View Pavilion, who vanished even more slowly and inconspicuously.

Prince An finally got married again, and the emperor rewarded him with many things. Whether it was to give face to the empress dowager or to take into account the people inside and outside the court, Emperor Shenwu did everything possible. He also sent several close ministers and royal guards to save face that day. In short, this time, Prince An had a grand wedding.

The people in the imperial city sighed again. After all, they were the emperor's brothers. No matter how disappointing they were, the emperor would still take their blood relationship into consideration. Who in the court dared not give them face?

The wedding took place at Prince An's mansion on the first day, and on the second day Prince An was to take Princess An to the palace to express gratitude. When Emperor Shenwu returned from his morning court session, Prince An and his wife were already waiting in a side hall of Qianzheng Hall.

Prince An held Princess An's hand tightly, recalling the scene of their first meeting. His literary talent was still good. After being confined to his house, he could only go out for a walk on New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival. On the Lantern Festival, he couldn't help but go to the bookstore, looked at his right hand, and couldn't help spitting on himself.

A delicate hand passed over him and took the book she also wanted to read. The graceful woman said, "No one is perfect, and no gold is pure, so we must constantly strive to improve ourselves. Sir, I see that you are naturally noble and elegant, and you obviously don't need this book very much. Could you please give it to me? I can make up for your shortcomings."

That was the beginning of their fate. Prince An seemed to have found spiritual support and became more and more cheerful day by day.

After the emperor left the court, Prince An and his wife came to the main hall of Qianzheng Palace to thank the emperor for his grace. Emperor Shenwu glanced at them with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. As usual, he gave them some rewards and let them go to the Empress Dowager's palace.

Empress Dowager Li was in a good mood. Looking at Prince An's current state, she felt that this marriage was a good one. Concubine Li accompanied the Empress Dowager and watched Prince An and his wife silently. Near noon, Empress Dowager Li invited the two to have lunch and then sent for the Emperor.

Emperor Shenwu did not refuse and soon came to the Cining Palace. The main seats were divided into left and right. He sat on the left and Empress Dowager Li sat on the right. After a round of greetings, Prince An and his wife sat down. Empress Dowager Li looked at her two sons who rarely got together, and she couldn't help feeling happy.

Concubine Li diligently served the emperor. Empress Dowager Li looked at the scene and smiled, saying, "This is what a family is like. I hope you will always be in harmony and support each other."

Prince An and his wife hurriedly answered yes.

Emperor Shenwu sneered inwardly. Family? He thought his eldest brother was a fool. Although he was newly married, he had already forgotten the three children left by his late wife. He said that it was rude to bring three children with him when he came to visit today. They were all royal descendants. Would he drive them out? He glanced at Li Wanqing subtly, fearing that this woman had been making some subtle moves.

Emperor Shenwu put down his wine glass, and Prince An and his wife hurriedly stopped. Emperor Shenwu wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said, "My mother just mentioned family, Prince An——"

Emperor Shenwu looked at him and said, "I remember your eldest son is six or seven years old. Has he started school yet? Which school for boys does he attend?"

The children of the royal family have their own royal school, but they need to obtain royal approval from the Ministry of Clan Affairs, which records their origin, name, parents and other information. As far as he knows, there are no children in the Prince An's Mansion attending the royal school.

Prince An was momentarily speechless, and Emperor Shenwu continued, "Your second daughter is only two years older than your eldest son. Has she learned the etiquette of women? From what I understand, your three children have always been cared for by two concubines. Now that you're married, have you made arrangements for the children?"

Empress Dowager Li opened her mouth to say something, but fell silent again after being looked at by Emperor Shenwu. Her eldest son was really outrageous in this regard.

Prince An hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "It is my fault that I was careless before and did not take good care of the three children. I will make arrangements as soon as I return today."

Li Wanqing sat there in a daze. She knew there was a gap between Prince An and the Emperor, but she had never expected that Prince An, who usually looked fine, would be so flustered in front of the Emperor. What a hopeless look...

She felt a surge of resentment and unwillingness in her heart. Before she could come to her senses, she saw the emperor looking at her coldly. She reacted immediately and knelt beside Prince An, saying, "It was my negligence. The three children are also my children. I will make arrangements as soon as I return."

Empress Dowager Li also reacted. She saw her husband kneeling while his wife was still sitting for a while. The two had known each other before their wedding, but he had no plans or arrangements for the three children left by his first wife. Was he leaving them to fend for themselves?

Emperor Shenwu said coldly, "Li Xiang, pass down the decree to appoint the two concubines of Prince An's Palace as his concubines and enter them into the imperial royal family. This is a reward for their care for the royal heirs over the years!"

Li Wanqing was stunned. She had just been the Princess of An for one day when the emperor personally appointed two concubines to the Prince of An. How could she survive in the Prince of An's mansion?

Emperor Shenwu said, "Prince An, go find Prince Ding and take the royal decree for the two children so they can enter the Imperial Academy as soon as possible."

Li Wanqing reassured herself, "I will take the three children to the main courtyard and take care of them myself."
