The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

The candlelight flickers and the curtains are heavy.

Walking in from outside the hall, in front of the dressing mirror, the Concubine Chen had already taken off her hairpins and rings, leaving only a simple bun.

The female official wanted to draw her eyebrows, but the Concubine Chen shook her head slightly.

"I will do it myself."

Concubine Chen also fell in love with Emperor Rong'an at first sight and was willing to be his concubine.

She has been with Emperor Rong An for so many years, and they have some special memories as husband and wife.

She was bright and generous, and had a bit of heroic spirit when she was young.

Emperor Rong'an and she also had a period of passionate love.

Her eyebrows were black and unpainted, which made her look even brighter.

But today, it’s not necessary.

Because of the incident involving the King of Wei, Emperor Rong'an was in a bad mood and had not come to her for a long time.

Someone was sent over today to deliver the message, so naturally the Concubine Chen wanted to fight for an opportunity for her son.

If it were in the past, Concubine Chen would certainly follow Emperor Rong'an's preferences.

Things are different now. Her son and the concubine’s son are competing for the throne.

But her son was at a disadvantage.

The Concubine Chen asked herself whether she was inferior to the Imperial Concubine in any way, as she had always been outshined by the Imperial Concubine for so many years.

She also sincerely hoped that her son would be better than the imperial concubine's son.

That was exactly how things were going to develop.

The Empress Dowager died of illness, and for many years Emperor Rong'an never thought of appointing another empress.

The position of Empress was left vacant, and she did not leave behind any children or legitimate sons.

Therefore, King Wei Ying Yan is the eldest son of Emperor Rong'an.

As the eldest son of the emperor, Prince Wei has received a lot of attention since he was young.

The Concubine Chen did not take it lightly.

Because ever since the imperial concubine appeared, most of her favor has been occupied by the imperial concubine.

She has an eldest son, and the imperial concubine also has a son.

As the two children grew up, Concubine Chen no longer had such a strong possessive desire for Emperor Rong'an.

Having always been subordinate to the Imperial Concubine, Concubine Chen’s thoughts were all on her son.

Everything was just as she expected.

Emperor Rong'an really relied on his eldest son.

His son was capable in the court, and his elder brother Xie Ji was the prime minister.

The Concubine Chen’s desire for the position of Crown Prince was almost written all over her heart.

As for the Imperial Concubine, she has only been seen doting on Ying Shuo over the years, but he is never involved in any work.

She even reached out to the Duke of England for help in arranging the marriage.

Everyone knows that the Duke of Yingzhou is the confidant of Emperor Rong'an.

When the Imperial Concubine took Ying Shuo to the Duke of Ying's Mansion, the Concubine Chen was still watching the joke.

After all, the only one in the entire court who dared to refuse the Imperial Concubine and Prince Xuan was probably the Duke of Ying.

But who knew that Emperor Rong'an would issue an edict to grant the marriage.

From here on, Concubine Chen realized that she had made an oversight.

The imperial concubine looks delicate, but she is actually very scheming.

What niece from my mother's side, what delicate and beautiful young lady.

It was all a trick. The mother and son actually targeted His Majesty's confidant!

The Concubine Chen was anxious and passed a message to her brother.

She knew her brother's ambition, just as she knew her brother's support for her son.

She is still the daughter of the Xie family.

Upon learning that her brother had other arrangements in the Jiang family, Concubine Chen felt much more relieved.

She was worried that the Duke of England would favor Ying Shuo.

The wife of Prince Xuan had been married for two years but had no children, and the imperial concubine could not help but try to force a concubine on Prince Xuan.

And her son accepted the important task of Emperor Rong'an and inspected the salt.

For such an important matter, the excitement in Concubine Chen's heart was simply beyond words.

As her son became more and more valued, Concubine Chen no longer took the Imperial Concubine's frequent monopolization of Emperor Rong'an seriously.

But that's how things got worse.

……

The Concubine Chen thought about it and it was probably started from the hunting in the Nine Mountains.

His Majesty's attitude towards Yan'er seemed to have become much colder.

During the New Year, Princess Xuan gave birth and there was a fire in Prince Xuan's mansion. These things made everyone unhappy.

The Concubine Chen never expected that this incident would happen to her own son.

What followed was a deep fear.

From what Concubine Chen knew about Emperor Rong'an, he knew that he attached great importance to his brothers and sisters.

Not to mention how respected Princess Boyang is nowadays.

Even though Prince Fu was also a prince and was now just an idle prince, Emperor Rong'an still gave him enough honor and dignity.

His Majesty has confined Yan'er and his wife to house arrest.

That is, there is no evidence that the fire in Prince Xuan's Palace was related to Prince Wei's Palace.

Otherwise, it is not house arrest.

But the lack of evidence does not mean that Emperor Rong An can tolerate this matter.

Having accomplished such an important task as inspecting the salt, the King of Wei became extremely famous.

Your Majesty said house arrest, so house arrest is imposed.

The Concubine Chen heard at that time that there seemed to be blood in the Prince of Wei's mansion.

She was really scared.

I was afraid that Emperor Rong'an would imprison his son like this.

After witnessing the methods used by Emperor Rong'an to seize the throne, Concubine Chen knew that His Majesty's thoughts might remain dormant for a long time.

Just wait for the right moment and kill with one blow.

As a concubine, Concubine Chen looked up to Emperor Rong'an, who was decisive in killing and punishing.

But as the person being scrutinized, Concubine Chen was extremely terrified.

She knew that she only had this one chance to win back Emperor Rong An's heart.

The concubine Chen applied powder bit by bit in front of the dressing mirror.

Her beauty was once her weapon.

Emperor Rong An once used the words "bright and charming" to praise her.

Concubine Chen also knew that her appearance was not as stunning as that of Concubine Gui.

On the contrary, it is somewhat aggressive.

Now, no matter how unwilling she is, she has to downplay such heroic spirit.

What your majesty likes is a delicate and beautiful woman like the imperial concubine.

Now that her son and daughter-in-law are under house arrest, she fits this image perfectly.

She should be a weak woman who is fragile, fearful, and fully dependent on her husband.

-

The first month of the year had passed, and memorials from the court flew onto Emperor Rong'an's desk like snowflakes.

Emperor Rong'an finally got tired of reading the memorials and it was already night.

Hai Xian pinched Emperor Rong'an's shoulders and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Concubine Chen has just sent someone."

Emperor Rong An raised his eyes and glanced at Hai Xian, "Prepare to chase him away."

Haixian hunched his body and retreated.

Emperor Rong An stood up and walked out of the palace.

At this moment, palace lanterns were lit everywhere in the palace.

Emperor Rong An sat on the dragon chariot, his eyes slightly closed, as if filled with thoughts.

Haixian gave a look, telling the people carrying the dragon chariot to be careful and not to shake His Majesty.

Emperor Rong An was indeed preoccupied and had no idea of ​​Hai Xian's actions.

When the dragon chariot arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, a noisy noise was heard.

Emperor Rong An opened his eyes, his pupils were sharp.

Haixian glanced at his young disciple, who immediately trotted over to inquire for the news.

Because Emperor Rong'an was unhappy, Hai Xian did not move the dragon sedan chair and just kept it there.

The young disciple came back and said that Princess Wei had fainted while praying for blessings.

Emperor Rong An became increasingly displeased: "Go get the imperial physician."

The young apprentice ran away again.

Emperor Rong'an looked at the palace of Concubine Chen which was so close to him, and his fingers unconsciously tapped on the dragon chariot.

Haixian could see that His Majesty was in a very bad mood at the moment.

"Forget it, go back and tell Concubine Chen that she doesn't have to wait any longer."

Haixian nodded his head in agreement.

Emperor Rong An glanced towards Zhaoyang Palace again and said calmly, "Tell her to go visit Princess Wei when she has time."

Haixian agreed and ordered the dragon chariot to turn back.

The Concubine Chen waited until midnight but still did not see Emperor Rong'an.

When she learned that something happened to Princess Wei in Zhaoyang Palace, her heart skipped a beat.
