Chapter 294 Eight Concubines in the Cold Palace
Maybe it was because a lot of things had happened in the harem recently, so the emperor was finally generous. Not only did he upgrade the treatment of the old concubines, but also the concubines like them.
Linlang is now a sixth-grade nobleman, and he also has a title. He is considered one of the best in the palace.
The emperor had not seen the harem for a long time, until the summer solstice was approaching, the emperor suddenly recalled the Xing'er he had eaten a few years ago, and for some reason, he came to the palace where Linlang was.
As soon as he entered the door, the emperor was surprised by the exquisite Athenian courtyard. Although the courtyard was large, the layout was not cluttered. There were flowers and plants in the corners and glowing fireflies flying in the air.
Linlang was wearing a white gauze, holding a lantern in her hand, her dress fluttering gently in the wind, her eyebrows were picturesque, and the bright moonlight shone on her body, like a cool fairy in the moonlight.
The emperor had never thought that Linlang could be so beautiful and breathtaking, so he immediately embraced the beauty in his arms, "Spring night is short, and I hope that the beauty will not miss the opportunity."
The emperor was originally greedy for food, but he was unexpectedly happy. After leaving, he asked the palace officials to send many rewards.
Since the empress and the imperial concubine left, the previous dynasty had been asking the emperor to establish a new queen. However, the emperor had no intention of establishing a new queen, but he agreed to the previous dynasty's draft.
Thinking that there were going to be so many more people in the harem, Linlang did not hide it, but used many of her own tricks to completely establish a foothold in the harem. Even though she had no heirs yet, she was still in the harem. The first person in.
On New Year's Eve, the good news came out that Linlang was pregnant, and she was three months pregnant. The emperor was so happy that he named himself Jieyu.
"After you give birth to a child, I will make you my concubine." Zhao Yan promised.
Jieyu is already the head of the first palace. According to the palace rules, she can raise her own children by herself. Even if she gives birth to a prince, she can still hold him under her knees and raise her.
Linlang pretended to be moved, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Even if he gave birth to a girl, a concubine would be indispensable. The concubine was of the third rank, and when new people entered the harem, those people would not be able to surpass him.
After the beginning of spring, there were indeed many beauties like flowers and jade in the harem. Most of them were the daughters of some powerful families. They were named beauties and talents as soon as they entered the palace. Unlike them, they were just small showgirls at the beginning. He only gained status after being favored. As expected, people are more irritating than others.
Perhaps it was because he had the highest status in the harem, so he raised the fetus extremely well. By the time the newcomers came in, he was already more than six months pregnant.
Linlang also sent some things to the concubines who had just entered the palace, but did not allow them to come to visit her. The main reason was that she was pregnant and did not want to get involved in these messy things anymore. The main thing was to raise the baby.
The new concubines who entered the palace all wanted to come and see themselves as their beloved concubines, because even if they were pregnant, the emperor would come to visit them from time to time, and even often reward them with something.
They wanted to come and visit her. On the one hand, they wanted to see what their beloved concubine was like, and on the other hand, they wanted to meet the emperor by chance.
But it's a pity that they made the wrong calculation. Linlang didn't want to see them at all. Even the emperor forgot about them after he selected them into the palace.
Those women were still unconvinced, thinking that not only were they beautiful, but they also had a high family background. Why didn't the emperor want them to sleep with them?
Linlang laughed angrily. The emperor hated being threatened by others. He thought that the concubine and the queen were two big mountains that suppressed the emperor, but now there are two. The mountain is gone, and it is impossible for the emperor to build another mountain for himself in his spare time. Therefore, these high-ranking concubines can be seen as they please, and they can be raised as individuals anyway.
There are also some concubines who take risks, but as soon as the front foot is implemented, the back foot is embedded in the cold palace. That is the real cold palace, without even a person. She was pregnant for ten months, and once she gave birth, Linlang gave birth to a little princess safely. She was the emperor's eldest daughter, and she was also a healthy child.
The emperor was so happy that he couldn't let go of the child. He not only made Linlang his concubine, but also gave her the title of "Rong".
"I want you to enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth." The emperor solemnly promised while holding the child.
Linlang naturally didn't take the emperor's words to heart. In fact, she also understood why the emperor liked her so much. The main reason was that her experience was probably somewhat similar to that of the emperor's biological mother. The emperor made up for all the guilt he felt towards his mother on himself.
Linlang knelt down to express gratitude, but her heart felt cold. Since ancient times, new people have always been better than old people. Now that there are so many new people in the harem, it is really time for the old person to abdicate in favor of others.
The emperor is both a nostalgic person and a kind person. He can deal with the concubine's family without hesitation. But he always remembers the imperial concubine, and even writes a eulogy for the imperial concubine in person every year.
After all, the emperor favored the daughters of high-ranking officials who had recently entered the palace, but his love for them was average, not even as good as the beautiful ladies who had entered the palace before.
It is estimated that the emperor was also afraid of having another high-ranking concubine, and was even more afraid that there would be trouble from relatives, so he did not dote on concubines with too high a family background too much.
After Linlang became a concubine, she originally wanted to see her family, but Linlang refused. Anyway, after her mother passed away, she didn't have much affection for her so-called father. It was best for him to pray that he would not cause trouble to her outside the palace. Trouble, otherwise she wouldn't mind making herself fatherless.
Two years later, when the eldest princess was three years old, Linlang became pregnant again, and this time she gave birth to a little prince safely.
The eldest prince also passed the age of five safely. Although his body was very weak, he finally stood firm. The rest need to be taken care of well, otherwise he may not survive to adulthood.
There were also pregnant women in the harem. One of the concubines gave birth to the second princess, and another concubine gave birth to the second prince.
Linlang, the third eldest prince, is now the most blessed concubine in the palace. With a son and a daughter, her life is already complete.
The emperor originally wanted to make himself a noble concubine, but the former minister refused to accept the position of noble concubine on the grounds that his family background was shallow, so the emperor had no choice but to retreat and ask for his wish to make himself a concubine.
"I can assure you that no one will get past you in the harem."
Li Lang's eyes were red with emotion, but in fact he didn't take these words to heart at all. What did the emperor's promise mean? It is estimated that after the front foot said this, the back foot would turn away and deny the person, so she didn't take it seriously at all.
Moreover, the emperor has not established a queen in these years. Although she is a concubine, she is the only one in the concubine position. She can be regarded as an invisible queen. In addition, she has the power to co-administer the Sixth Palace, so she can be regarded as under one person. , more than ten thousand people.
She raised the child very well by herself. When the third prince was seven years old, she became pregnant again. She was supposed to be thirty years old soon, which was considered an older mother in ancient times. She didn't want to get pregnant, but her body We already have them, so we can only give birth to the child first.
Perhaps because of his age, this child was particularly tormenting and had a very stubborn temper. It was not easy for him to be born, but he tortured himself almost to death. The emperor also insisted on making herself the noble concubine despite everyone's objections.
"Although I can't give you the position of queen, you will always be the only wife in my heart."
