It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

The Buddhist temple is outside the harem, and the Cining Palace is inside the harem.

"The emperor has come to the harem!" This news was like the wind, blowing to the ears of the concubines, and the concubines felt uneasy.

The emperor seldom enters the harem, only two or three times a month. You must seize the opportunity and take advantage of it to win the emperor's favor!

She washed, dressed up, and smeared perfume and powder all over her body, her hairpins and rings jingled, and she was so busy that she was thrown to the ground.

Therefore, a distance that usually only took an incense stick of time took Emperor Xiao Ping a quarter of an hour.

As soon as he stepped into the harem, Emperor Xiao Ping saw a beautiful woman dancing in the picturesque pavilion. She was charming and enchanting, and captivating.

It's Concubine Li.

Her hands are as slender as flowers, her steps are as graceful as lotus, and her waist is as soft as a willow.

Under the thin and transparent gauze, her graceful figure is revealed, and the mountains on her chest are clearly visible.

Full of temptation.

The beauty in the pavilion had seductive eyes. Seeing him stop to admire her, she danced even more vigorously and even stretched out her slender white finger to hook him.

Extremely tempting.

But Emperor Xiao Ping had a calm expression, and in his eyes there was a trace of concern without any desire. He waved his hand, and Eunuch Kang leaned forward.

"It's getting colder in autumn. Send some clothes to Concubine Li. Don't catch a cold."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Eunuch De screamed behind him, "Someone, bring some clothes to Concubine Li!"

Emperor Xiao Ping walked slowly. As he was walking, a beautiful woman with her head lowered jumped out from the bushes on the left and threw herself into his arms.

It’s Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong had a shy look on her face and was holding a kite string in her hand.

She pressed herself against Emperor Xiao Ping's chest, her slender fingers circling his magnificent chest.

Her voice was so sweet that honey could drip out of it. "Your Majesty, I was flying a kite and ran in such a hurry that I disturbed your majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Then, she tilted her head back slightly, her eyes flushed slightly, her cherry lips slightly parted, and she was extremely alluring.

Emperor Xiao Ping had a good temper. He just looked at her indifferently with a distant smile on his lips.

He leaned back and used both hands to push away the soft and fragrant body in his arms.

"Is she hurt? Xiao Dezi, call the imperial physician to check her out!" Then he turned and left.

Eunuch De glanced at Concubine Rong, whose face was gradually turning pale, and said, "Come here, call the imperial physician for Concubine Rong!"

Just as they were about to reach the Cining Palace, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared on the road. She had delicate skin and a fragrant scent.

It’s Miss Qiao.

Lady Qiao swayed as she greeted Emperor Xiao Ping. The moment she stood up with her knees bent, she leaned forward and fell into his arms.

Emperor Xiao Ping took half a step back calmly, and Concubine Qiao screamed and fell straight onto the six-sided gravel road at her feet.

Miss Qiao was so ashamed and angry that she almost cried.

Emperor Xiao Ping had no intention of supporting her. He looked distant and winked at Eunuch De. Then, without looking back, he quickly walked into the Cining Palace.

Eunuch De understood, "Come here, ask a doctor to come and take a look at Miss Qiao!"

Concubine Qiao looked at the emperor's noble back and shook off the palace maid's hand fiercely, her teeth almost breaking.

Before she entered the palace, her grandmother gave her the secret recipe for having children that had been treasured in the family for generations.

The emperor has been on the throne for ten years and has no children. If she can get pregnant with a prince, the Qiao family will prosper from then on!

Concubine Qiao was proud of her beauty and courage. Before entering the palace, she invited the best scholars in the Qinlou and Chuguan to teach her privately. She was confident that if the emperor touched her body, he would never forget it.

Unfortunately, after entering the palace for a year, she had only seen the emperor a few times, and had not even had the chance to sleep with him.

Could it be that the emperor’s health is simply not good?

Lady Qiao tightly grasped the handkerchief, her fingertips turning white, and she fell into deep thought.

"The emperor has arrived!"

When the Queen Mother saw Emperor Xiao Ping coming, she smiled.

She held a list in her hand and waved to Emperor Xiao Ping, saying, "Emperor, come and take a look. I have selected ten women for you. Their mothers are all good at giving birth. Mothers are easy to conceive and have many children, so daughters should be the same."

Emperor Xiao Ping sat down, without even looking at the list, and simply said, "It's all up to the Queen Mother to arrange."

The Queen Mother was not his biological mother; his biological mother was Concubine You.

Before being favored by the late emperor, Concubine You was just an ordinary palace maid, timid and cowardly by nature. After she was designated as the crown prince by the late emperor, she was so frightened and overly worried that she fell ill.

Just before he ascended the throne, Concubine You passed away.

The former queen became the only empress dowager in the palace.

The Queen Mother had always been nice to him. She had no demands on him and did not interfere.

Over the past ten years, she has been constantly selecting young women for him to fill his harem, hoping that he would have children soon.

The Queen Mother looked at him calmly, her eyebrows slightly solemn, and said: "Emperor, although you and I have decided to choose a man of good character and appearance from the royal family to adopt, I think it is better to have my own child. The emperor is still young, so let's try one last time. If there is still no result, then I will give up and will not choose a woman anymore, and force you to take me into the harem, okay?"

Emperor Xiao Ping lowered his eyes. He had no interest in the throne, let alone an heir. He just accepted whatever the empress dowager said.

"Your son has no objection. Everything is up to your mother to arrange."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and raised her hand to call for Nanny Zhao.

Nanny Zhao understood and immediately brought over a bowl of medicine and presented it to Emperor Xiao Ping.

"This is the tonic that I asked Doctor Zhang to prescribe for the emperor. It can strengthen the body and make the emperor energetic and full of yang energy every night. Please take it." The empress dowager looked concerned.

Emperor Xiao Ping looked at the medicine in the bowl. It was black and gave off a sour smell unique to herbs.

"Do I have to drink it?" He raised his eyes slightly, heavy, with a hint of alienation and coldness.

"Your Majesty, please consider the royal heir." The Queen Mother spoke softly, but she would not back down.

"Okay," Emperor Xiao Ping said in a cold tone, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

He picked up the bowl and drank it all, then put it down. The pattern on the bottom of the bowl was clearly visible.

"Mother, I have things to do in the front court. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Emperor Xiao Ping stood up and said goodbye.

Seeing that he just let him do whatever he wanted and that it had nothing to do with her, the Queen Mother felt helpless and said, "Let's go, let's go."

Emperor Xiao Ping returned to his bedroom.

The white jade table in the bedroom was filled with exquisite snacks and soup bowls.

"Xiao Dezi, what is this?" Emperor Xiao Ping frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, these were sent by the ladies and concubines of the various palaces, saying that they wanted the Emperor to taste them."

Emperor Xiao Ping held his forehead slightly, wondering why these concubines had so many tricks up their sleeves?

However, no matter how many means were used, they were useless to him and he could not be moved.

For some reason, he couldn't have any strange thoughts about women.

He was originally a cold and peaceful person. He had no desire for the throne and no obsession with offspring. He followed his own heart and did not get involved in matters between men and women.

The Queen Mother knew about this, so she blocked the news and prevented people outside the palace from knowing this palace secret.

On the one hand, he carefully selected several young women to enter the palace every year, hoping that one would appear to please Emperor Xiao Ping and change his cold heart on matters between men and women.

Unfortunately, several attempts failed.

What Emperor Xiao Ping loved most was not the throne, nor beauty, but worshiping Buddha and chanting scriptures.

He glanced at the red maple leaves outside the window and said, "Xiao Dezi, have you arranged your affairs for tomorrow?"

Xiao Dezi bowed and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, rest assured, everything has been arranged. Master Xuankong is still practicing in a small temple on the top of Mount Taihua in the suburbs of Beijing. Your Majesty, please leave in the early morning and arrive at noon."
