The Royal Highness - C5
“Lord Qiu Xiang is already over sixty years old. His wife and a few concubines have children that are even older than our emperor and are already married. Only this little girl is unmarried. In the end, she is still the daughter of the Prime Minister, and the main wife is under her knee. Furthermore, she is also raised up as a first rank Old Madam Qiu.
The empress dowager pursed her lips with the handkerchief and smiled. “That’s right. If it weren’t for the departure of the imperial concubine that day, I wouldn’t have had such a chance as a lateral consort. I would have been like a concubine with no children.” Now that he has become the emperor, it can be seen that the so-called destiny is not something that can be decided by the power of the throne. ”
However, four hours later, a Zhao wearing a first-class uniform came out.
That day, the Emperor suddenly said he wanted to establish the atrium and in a short ten days, the Queen married into his family. But in the short span of ten or so days, there had been countless people who had attempted to cross the threshold of the Longevity Palace in order to seek her out for the most precious destiny in the world, or rather, for the past three years, there had been an endless stream of such people.
“Yes, if Imperial Mother doesn’t mind, you can call me concubine by her name. That would be your fortune.” Her smile was dignified, gentle, and polite. Even though it was her first time seeing the Empress Dowager, she did not show it.
She was raised by her grandmother, she said. The daughter of the autumn family is the most splendid pearl everywhere.
Even though she was only a maid born to an unnamed maid, a child abandoned in a country house.
“Last night’s incident …” Her Majesty had never, in her life, bothered to do anything but worry about her son during those seven years of war. For the past three years, the harem had been considered peaceful. Having an empress was originally a good thing, but his son had purposely neglected her and wronged her. How was he going to deal with this by calling her his mother-in-law?
However, she smiled gently and said, “This concubine has rushed to the capital from the ancestral home day and night. The great wedding ceremony is going smoothly, and this is all thanks to the Esteemed Empress Dowager. However, chenqie was weak and could not serve the emperor due to exhaustion. Fortunately, the emperor was kind and compassionate, and she condescended to the Palace of Peace last night. This is truly a mistake on my part, Esteemed Empress Dowager, please punish me. ”
“Speak of the punishment from where it comes from. Take care of yourself first. There will be a long time to come.” The empress dowager nodded her head repeatedly, praising. “The empress was raised by her grandmother since childhood. With such a temperament and personality, Old Madam Qiu is indeed from a learned family. The Emperor’s harem has just been established, and it has been three years since it last appeared. Now that the atrium has an owner, I am relieved. ”
The empress dowager signaled the Maid Lin to give her a reward as he personally placed an Luan, Feng Jinchuan, onto the empress’s wrist. He said benevolently, “After years of war, the emperor’s heirs are very thin. I hope the empress can help the empress open up some leaves for him as soon as possible.”
But how could the Emperor have given birth to her last night? Besides, he had a son.
When they parted, her grandmother had taught her that she might as well live freely as she did now that she had met such a life.
That family of men didn’t have the qualifications to shoulder such a heavy burden on her shoulders. No matter what kind of situation they were in, it would be enough for them to live on for themselves.
“Child, your mother is here.” The empress dowager pointed towards the Zhao and said amiably, “Bring your mother to the upper yang palace. I’m afraid you won’t be able to speak your own words here.”
Bao Er indifferently looked at Zhao. The moment she retracted her gaze, a cold glint appeared in her eyes, causing Zhao’s body to suddenly shudder.
“Imperial Mother, she is not my concubine’s mother.” He calmly told her that he saw a trace of embarrassment in her eyes.
