Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

Yin Qingxuan endured the pain and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be here. Today is Haitang's wedding day. As the emperor's brother, you should personally officiate at her wedding. If no one from the royal family goes, Haitang will be disappointed."

His sister is his biological parent, but she is not as close as his wife. The fact that his first child was born in the cold palace was enough to make Ye Jingyu feel guilty for half his life. Now this child is their real treasure. As the child's father, how can he leave?

Seeing her face turn pale and beads of sweat on her temples, Ye Jingyu hurried forward to comfort her: "It's okay, with General Yin and Marshal Guan here, Haitang won't lose face."

Yin Qingxuan grabbed his arm.

"How can that be possible? If there is no one in the palace, it will definitely become a hurdle in Haitang's heart. This is the most important day in her life."

Ye Jingyu said he would not leave no matter what, but he couldn't let his sister lose face. His eyes turned slightly and he had an idea in his mind.

"Jueying, go and summon the concubines and have them leave the palace immediately to prepare for the princess' wedding."

Everyone was stunned. No one expected Ye Jingyu to come up with such an idea. But if you think about it carefully, the status of the concubines and grand concubines were indeed not low.

Although there is no precedent for this kind of thing, all legislation is written by humans.

Jueying did not dare to delay and immediately sent people to various palaces to convey the emperor's oral instructions.

Upon hearing the news, the concubines and imperial consorts were all stunned, and then overjoyed the next second. After staying in the palace for so many years, who wouldn't want to see what the outside world looks like?

They quickly ordered their maids to dress them up as quickly as possible. It was their honor to officiate at the princess' wedding, and they must not let the little emperor lose face.

Ye Haitang's sedan chair soon arrived at the residence of the prince consort bestowed by the emperor. There was already a constant stream of traffic in front of the gate.

Su Minglan rarely wore a brightly colored cherry pink silk dress, with a happy look on her face. Yin Zhong was also in high spirits, as if he was in high spirits and looked several years younger.

Yin Xingyun and his wife were also busy welcoming guests, and the little girl behind them was holding their adorable twins.

Cheng Fenglou was grateful to the Yin family for taking him in, so he took a leave from the Imperial College and came over to help. Yin Ziluo stood by with her hands behind her back, watching him and commenting on him.

"Why are you becoming more and more like a nerd? You look old-fashioned and decadent. Are you a wood spirit?"

Cheng Fenglou still led the guests to the garden with a smile on his face, as if he heard nothing.

Yin Ziluo pouted in anger, and was about to say a few more words to ridicule him when she heard someone outside the door shouting, "The Dowager Consort Duanshu has arrived, the Dowager Consort Zhuanghe has arrived, the Dowager Consort Jingyi has arrived, the Dowager Consort Liu has arrived, the Dowager Consort Kang has arrived..."

Yin Zhong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Isn’t today the day of your youngest son’s wedding?

Why are there so many concubines and imperial concubines here?

What... does this mean?

The court officials were also stunned. After the late emperor passed away, the new emperor did not let these concubines and imperial concubines be buried with him. This was already a sign of his kindness. How could he suddenly leave the palace?

The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and Concubine Duanshu, dressed in a rose-red palace dress, stepped down first. She waved her hand lightly, and the maids around her immediately presented her with gifts.

Yin Zhong quickly bowed and accepted it, and Concubine Duanshu smiled dignifiedly.

"The Queen is about to give birth, and the Emperor is worried about her. He cannot come to officiate at the Princess' wedding today, but he is also afraid of losing face for this young sister, so he asked us, who are half buried in the earth, to come and support the occasion. Lord Yin will not look down on us, his old sisters, right?"

Who dares to say look down on it?

When the late emperor was alive, these concubines were all powerful figures. Those who were able to enter the palace naturally had impressive family backgrounds. Now that so many of them have come at once, it is even more glorious than if the emperor himself had come.

Yin Zhong knelt hurriedly and performed the prostration ceremony of a court official.

"I dare not, respectfully welcome Concubine Duanshu..."
