Emperor Yongning raised his eyebrows slightly and asked the two good-for-nothings to go to the Queen's Palace.

What's the logic behind this? Why are they celebrating the fact that they have a legitimate brother?

This shouldn't be a joy for them, but a shock, right?

Emperor Yongning was a legitimate son and had only brothers. There was no other prince competing with him for the throne.

But the previous emperor's generation had also seen conflicts among royal brothers, and he was also well-versed in history books.

Although he doesn't like his son fighting for the position under him.

But Emperor Yongning was also sober at the same time. The temptation of the throne was too great and no prince could stay out of it.

Once the queen gives birth to a legitimate son, these illegitimate princes will naturally be inferior in terms of righteousness and orthodoxy.

Emperor Yongning felt that with his physical condition, he would have no problem living another twenty years or so, by which time the little boy would have grown into a young man.

Shen Tongqing and Shen Tongshu were bewitched and did not discover it for three years.

It was Shen Zhao who exposed the conspiracy of Shen Tongyun, the foreign bloodline.

Emperor Yongning still had a slight sympathy for his two sons.

It was also because Shen Zhao said that the Imperial Master could cure the poison in their bodies that Emperor Yongning was able to remain calm at this time.

Judging from the time, the national teacher will be back soon.

There is also Taoist Mu, who has been assigned a task to complete. I hope there will be good news.

Emperor Yongning was lost in thought for a moment, and only came back to his senses when he heard Shen Zhao's voice.

“Uncle Emperor, I don’t know what has happened to the two princes that has made them so anxious to see you.

But the Queen is pregnant, and the two princes are going to be brothers again, so they go together to add to the joyous occasion.

Moreover, the two princes also met the Emperor's uncle, which satisfied their request."

[Hahaha, these two are crying hard now.

But as long as the news of the queen's pregnancy came, they would not want to come and see what was going on.

Isn’t it fun when crying turns into shock?

Guagua, don’t you agree? 】

Guagua started to make a noise,

[That's right, there might be another 'surprise' waiting for these two people by then. ]

Shen Zhao has watched palace fighting dramas for so many years, and sometimes a clue can string a whole play together.

She guessed that the Queen might be using the 'unknown' child in her belly to strike hard.

That will be a good show to watch!

Shen Zhao looked at Emperor Yongning expectantly, as if urging him to make a decision quickly.

“Then let’s do as Zhao Zhao said.

Go and bring the eldest and second princes to Fengyi Palace and tell them that I am waiting for them there."

The young eunuch responded respectfully and soon set off at a trot.

In this way, Emperor Yongning took Shen Zhao and a group of palace servants to Fengyi Palace.

...

Fengyi Palace!

Time has to go back to the time when the six palaces paid their respects!

The high-ranking concubines in the palace now include Concubine Lou, Concubine Chunyi, Concubine Shu, Concubine Jin, and Concubine Rou.

Although other concubines were pregnant with princes and princesses, they were not as powerful or favored as the five concubines, so they could not form a separate force in the palace and most of them were dependent on the four concubines.

As for Concubine Lou, she was a breath of fresh air in the palace and did not like the concubines to rely on her.

But she just didn't follow the rules and even the queen always suffered at her hands, but there was nothing she could do.

Concubine Lou is favored but has no children. She is overbearing in the palace and no one dares to offend her, but she is also the public enemy of the harem!

Concubine Chunyi was originally Concubine Lin. She gave birth to six princesses and was the youngest concubine in the palace.

But because of his life-saving grace, he has been treated unfairly over the years, and Emperor Yongning has been favoring him a lot recently!

Shufei gave birth to the eldest prince and the fifth prince. She was also the daughter of the prime minister and the leader of the four concubines.

Concubine Rou gave birth to the second prince and the third princess. She was the daughter of the Shangshu, and was gentle and considerate.

Concubine Jin, who gave birth to four princes, was the daughter of a general. She was carefree and outspoken.

Here we have to mention the mistress of the harem, the queen, the daughter of Duke Jing'an, who gave birth to the eldest princess. She pursued rules in the outside world, acted fairly, and treated every concubine equally.

Because he had no prince by his side, and Emperor Yongning had found some evidence against him in previous years.

Although the empress's position was not abolished, Emperor Yongning only treated her with respect.

The queen managed the palace affairs with trepidation and caution. Even if she had no credit, she had worked hard and finally regained some goodwill.

But facing the five powerful concubines, the queen was always not confident enough and could not demonstrate her majesty.

When paying respects today, Concubine Lou and Concubine Shu arrived at Fengyi Palace half a quarter of an hour late. They did not explain and just perfunctorily bowed and sat down.

The queen did not shout, nor did she get angry and ask the two men to admit their mistakes.

The three of them were in a stalemate, and the other two concubines (Concubine Rou and Concubine Jin) tried to sow discord and take advantage of every opportunity, making the atmosphere on the field even colder.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty stayed in my palace last night.

I have been serving Your Majesty and got up late.

Her Majesty, you are so fussy about this, you are really lacking in generosity."

Only Lou Qingyin could say such arrogant words.

It's funny to say that Lou Qingyin would make a few sarcastic remarks to the Queen from time to time, all because the Queen took the initiative to provoke her.

Lou Qingyin is a person who follows the principle that if you don't provoke me, I won't bother you.

After all, she came to the palace to enjoy herself, there was no need to cause trouble everywhere.

But the Queen would not let her go. She would either say a few sarcastic words to her or instigate other concubines to attack Lou Qingyin. In short, she did everything she could to make Lou Qingyin unhappy.

Lou Qingyin is not stupid either. If the queen dares to move, she will fight back.

He slapped the queen, mocked the queen, refused to pay his respects, and so on. He had done at least eighty of these things, if not a hundred.

It just so happened that the Queen was visiting Qingyin in Yinyang Tower yesterday.

Today was just a small show of power for the Queen, so she came late on purpose.

As for Concubine Shu, she considered herself the number one person under the Queen, and would wait until Lou Qingyin went out to pay her respects every day before she would set off.

Concubine Shu also added fuel to the fire,

"Empress, I have to take care of the Fifth Prince, so I am only a little late. There is no need to be so angry, right?"

The Fifth Prince is already a young boy this year. Does he still need her personal care as his mother?

When the queen heard the two men's reasons, she was furious.

In the past, she would have endured it.

Being sensible and generous is the queen's exclusive label. She also knows that the emperor values ​​her because she is not picky.

But not today!

Thinking of her plan, the queen vented all the anger she had suffered in the past.

I saw her eyebrows raised, her face full of anger, and she said sternly,

"You are disrespectful to me and don't keep the greeting time. Is this my fault?"

Just like that, one party wanted to quarrel, but the other two were not good-tempered people. Plus, Concubine Rou and Concubine Jin were there to watch the show and add fuel to the flames, and the Fengyi Palace was in chaos.

The queen was so angry that she had a stomachache and called in the imperial physician.

After taking her pulse, she was found to be one month pregnant.

Everyone present widened their eyes. Concubine Shu was even more nervous than the Queen and asked questions one after another.

When he heard a definite answer, his face suddenly darkened.

Fengyi Palace was as bustling as a "vegetable market" just now, but now it is completely silent.

"Your Majesty is here!"
