The Royal Highness - C4
The lanterns on the bridge were extinguished one by one, the river of stars disappeared from the tai-fluid pool, and the lights of the upper yang palace slowly dispersed.
The emperor left the shore. On the night of the empress’s wedding, the emperor favored the Consort Shu of the Palace of Peace.
“Mother!” The children suddenly awaken from the dream, the window has light in, dawn.
Yun mama rushed over and knelt at the empress’s feet. A small palace maid at the side told her what had happened and Yun mama hurriedly said, “Reporting to the empress, the emperor has decreed that you cannot meet guests in the upper yang palace. No one from the inner palace is allowed to enter the upper yang palace.”
She clearly understood her own situation. Her status was a symbol of wealth and prosperity, but in reality, she was nothing.
When leaving the countryside, his grandmother told him that the reason the Emperor did not kill the Prime Minister was to calm the people. After three years, she would marry the daughter of the Prime Minister to become an empress to inform him of the trust he had in the officials of Old Dynasty.
Last night, the Emperor made it very clear that he had to be an honest queen. Therefore, he could not easily disobey the emperor’s decree.
“Then let’s meet at the shore. Let’s invite Madam to the pavilion on top of side of tai chi cistern.”
Yun mama looked up in shock. This young empress was not simple.
In the Longevity Palace, the elderly empress dowager woke up early in the morning. Every day, at the hour when the emperor arrived early, the Maid Eunuch had already served breakfast for the empress dowager. If Consort Shu did not sleep the previous night, he would come to accompany her.
The empress dowager ate the milk porridge in her hands, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and accompanied the empress dowager to marry Maid Lin, serving him a small dish as she smiled. “You suddenly want to eat something sweet, but with decades of habit, how can you eat something sweet in the morning? This is a newly pickled soy dish, why don’t you try it and change your mouth. ”
The empress dowager used a pair of chopsticks to pick it up, then put it down listlessly. “It was so easy for Sis to marry the empress, what is he planning to do? He’ll just leave everything in the upper yang palace for now, what will the ministers think when they go to the Consort Shu’s rooms on the wedding night? Me? I want to worry about him, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it.
At this moment, the palace maid outside the door came in. The Maid Lin took a few steps forward and returned to tell the empress dowager, “The upper yang palace sent someone to invite you in with instructions, saying that the Empress is going to summon the fifth wife of the Prime Minister’s House into the palace. The emperor is in the morning now, so they do not dare to disturb the emperor. Please advise me. ”
The empress dowager said, “Fifth Wife? Oh right, I heard that the empress was born in a concubine? ”
The Maid Lin continued, “Actually, aside from the main wife in Prime Minister’s House, there are three other concubines. This servant does not know what they are called at home, but we can only count them to four. This fifth wife is just what the Empress calls his, and I heard that his birth mother is just a maid without any status, not even a concubine.”
The empress dowager frowned and sighed. “If you suddenly say you want to raise an empress, then do so. Why did you only choose a girl born from a concubine?”
