Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 154 Father and Son Hurting Each Other

"Father, my mother is... like that. How did you manage to marry her?" The emperor really couldn't understand what kind of opportunity her mother had to have to marry the prince when she had no family background and no literary talent.

The emperor didn't expect him to ask this, and hesitated for a long time: "Back then, didn't father like to eat? After your mother met me, she showed that she liked watching me eat..."

"You don't know, everyone else looks down on me, but your mother worships me. She has a poor family background, and those people are happy about it. This way, I have no chance to compete with them..."

The emperor suddenly came to his senses: "You little brat, why are you asking all these questions? Did your mother do something?" That woman had been acting more and more outrageous since she became the queen. Now she has finally retired and can enjoy her old age. Could she be causing trouble again?

"It's her niece from her mother's side who wants to enter the palace. Her reputation is so bad that it's no exaggeration to say that she is notorious throughout the capital. If you don't agree to her request, she will cry and make a fuss, which is really annoying." The emperor felt very uncomfortable, as if he had eaten a fly.

"Do you agree?" the emperor asked his son.

"What can we do if our mother doesn't agree to it?"

"The head of the Xu family is a smart man, but his wife is a scheming person. It was her intention that your mother and I met. I was young at that time and couldn't see her deliberateness... She thought your mother was useless, so she wanted to get someone else into the palace and have another queen." The retired emperor sighed.

"That's impossible." The emperor will not indulge them.

"It's up to you. This harem... will be lively in the future..." The retired emperor waved his hand and asked the emperor to leave.

"Father, it seems like you have gained some weight again, but you need to lose weight. If you faint again, it won't be like this. You will be able to walk safely." With the mentality that if I suffer, you will suffer too, the emperor deliberately hurt the retired emperor's heart.

"You little bastard, how dare you curse your father..." The retired emperor was furious. This unfilial son only said things he didn't like to hear.

The emperor walked out with a smile. As expected, he felt happy whenever he saw others unhappy.

Kunning Palace.

Queen Chen rubbed her aching temples with her hands. She had been busy with the beauty pageant and a lot of things in the harem these days. She felt that her old headache was starting to come back again.

This headache of hers started when she just became queen and started to take over the affairs of the harem. The queen at that time, now the queen mother, managed the harem in a mess, and the accounts were in a state of disarray. She spent a lot of effort to slowly straighten out the chaotic situation in the harem.

During this period, Empress Chen felt extremely uncomfortable. The Empress Dowager was really shameless. She emptied the harem and left such a mess. But for the sake of face, she didn't bother with her and just gritted her teeth and got through it.

She, on the other hand, seeing that the situation in the harem is now good, is thinking of coming back to seize power. The two of them have been on the verge of a fight over the past year and have fought several times. She is also tough and has not let the empress dowager have an easy time.

Look, in order to get the nasty old niece from her mother's family to enter the palace, they came up with some early selection. Isn't it just to get someone into the palace to deal with her? Don't you think about Xu Rou's reputation? Even if she enters the palace, will the emperor be able to see her? The harem is not a garbage can. All the rotten fish and shrimps can be stuffed into it.

"Is the eldest princess awake yet? Tell the nurse that the weather is cold these two days, be careful not to catch a cold." She instructed Aunt Lanruo, the senior palace maid beside her. The eldest princess is two years old this year. The child was born weak and would cough and have a fever if she caught a little cold, which made her worry.

Aunt Lan Ruo quickly replied: "I have already told you, the nurse can't let your guard down."

The queen nodded. The harem had been put in order over the past two years, and she was also actively preparing for pregnancy. Although the emperor rested in Kunning Palace on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month according to the law, for some reason she just couldn't get pregnant.

In the past, because she was busy reorganizing the harem, she was not careful and let the bitch Concubine Yi get pregnant and give birth to the emperor's eldest son. Whenever she thought of this, her heart felt like it was fried in oil. Although she later did some things to make the child born weak and it seemed that it was questionable whether he could grow up, she still couldn't let it go.

As a queen, she has not given birth to a legitimate son yet. What qualifications do those people have to give birth to princes before her? It seems that she has to keep a closer eye on the harem in the future. Things like what happened to Concubine Yi must not happen again.

The specific time for the selection was set. Huang Ye received the imperial edict and officially entered the palace for selection three days later, which would take a month.

It was a rare good afternoon in winter, and everyone was feeling lazy under the sun. Huang Ye was lying on the recliner that Hongdou had specially brought over, basking in the sun. She would enter the palace tomorrow, a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder, and she had to enjoy this rare and pleasant time before entering the palace.

"Prince, after I enter the palace, don't fly to the imperial palace casually. There are masters from the imperial palace in there. If you are discovered, it will be very dangerous, and no one can save you." Huang Ye was not trying to scare it. The imperial palace was a completely unfamiliar place to her. Based on her experience of watching dramas in her previous life, those masters from the imperial palace were not at the same level as her master. If they didn't like the prince, they could kill him in minutes.

The prince lying beside her hand rubbed his head in her palm. He was a smart and obedient eagle and would not cause any trouble to his master.
