Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince
Chapter 102: The Queen Mother's Past
"Hello, young lady." The visitor bowed respectfully.
Jiang Chuwei raised her hand, "No need to be polite, what's the matter?"
"I was sent by the Empress Dowager Ci'an." The nanny was dressed appropriately, and her every move showed composure.
As expected, he is someone close to the Empress Dowager.
"Madam, please have some tea. What does the Queen Mother want?"
"The Empress Dowager was very happy to hear that Miss Jiang saved the people of Nanzhou, and she sent me here to bring some rewards." After saying that, she asked the people behind her to present the things.
Jiang Chuwei was stunned. How much time had passed and the Queen Mother only came now to reward her.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Please thank her for me." Jiang Chuwei took a look at those things, which were all precious medicinal herbs and jewels.
"Also, there is one more thing I need to tell you, Miss. The Queen Mother's birthday is next month, and His Majesty hopes that you can come to the palace to attend the birthday banquet."
Jiang Chuwei thought that after the emperor granted the marriage, the empress dowager had never summoned her into the palace.
It seems that he is dissatisfied with this marriage and is now trying to make peace. Is it just because she saved the people?
As the future Princess of Yu, Jiang Chuwei must attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.
Now the Queen Mother has specially sent someone to inform her, which shows her importance to her.
"Your servant obeys your command. I will definitely be present at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet." Jiang Chuwei said.
She knew very well that she could not refuse the Queen Mother's order, so she accepted it respectfully.
The nanny looked Jiang Chuwei up and down, and there was no surprise on her face.
Staying calm in any situation and neither being humble nor arrogant, this is how the nanny evaluated Jiang Chuwei.
She nodded secretly. After the Emperor granted the marriage, the Queen Mother became so angry that she fell ill.
No one in the harem knew this.
The emperor is not the empress dowager's biological son.
The Queen Mother's own son died at a very young age.
The Duke of Suguo sent another daughter into the palace.
This person is the empress dowager's concubine sister, and the purpose of sending her to the palace was to give birth to a son for the empress dowager.
The concubine sister thought that after giving birth to a son, she would live a life of wealth and glory.
But she could never have imagined that her elder sister didn't want her to live at all.
Sure enough, seven days after giving birth to her son, the concubine's sister died of hemorrhage.
Even the biological mother of the concubine sister died inexplicably after her daughter's death.
In this way, the Queen Mother got a son quietly.
She devoted all her efforts to cultivating this son, and the Suguo Mansion was within reach of the throne.
During the time of the previous emperor, there were two great families that held great power in Shangjing.
One is the Sun family of the Duke of Suguo Mansion, and the other is the Pang family of the Duke of Ningguo Mansion.
Pang Shi was the first group of heroes who accompanied our ancestors in conquering the world.
No one could shake his position in Shangjing.
People often say that the moon waxes and wanes, and Ponzi's tremendous power also fueled his ambitions.
They actually had thoughts that they shouldn't have.
Arrange your own people around the emperor.
He openly raised private soldiers in Shangjing.
The Pang family's behavior aroused the emperor's vigilance, and he decided to investigate the matter secretly.
By chance, the emperor discovered the existence of the Pang family's private soldiers.
The Pang family is driving themselves to death.
The emperor may not care about anything, but the Lin family’s kingdom cannot be in the hands of the Pang family.
Shocked, he became more determined to eradicate the power of the Pang family. The emperor began to lay out his plan.
So the late emperor began to set up a plan, and he seemed to favor the Pang family more.
On the one hand, he was secretly collecting evidence, and on the other hand, he was weakening the Pang family's influence in the court.
The Pang family was unaware of the impending disaster, and they became even more domineering in Shangjing.
Once, the nephews of the Pang family beat someone to death in Shangjing.
What does the Pang family think will happen if a few people die?
The people do not fight against the officials. Apart from the royal family, the Pang family is the only powerful force left.
But that time they hit a wall.
The deceased's family members beat the drum to report the incident. The emperor was furious when he learned about it and immediately sent people to arrest the Pang family's nephews. Not only that, the emperor also took this opportunity to thoroughly investigate the Pang family and collected a lot of solid evidence.
The Pang family was all panic-stricken, but they still had hope, thinking that they might be able to escape with their own power. However, they underestimated the emperor's determination to eliminate dissidents.
Soon after, the imperial edict was issued, and the entire Pang family was executed. The once prosperous Pang family fell into decline. The people of the capital all applauded and praised the emperor's wise decision.
At the same time, the Queen Mother's family sensed the turmoil at court and seized their opportunity.
The old Duke Su used his wisdom and connections to successfully gain the trust of the late emperor.
After gaining the trust of the late emperor, the old Duke Su began to win over court officials and build up his own power.
He was well aware that the struggle for power required weighing the interests of all parties, so he maneuvered skillfully in the court and gradually came to the fore.
At the same time, he did not forget to promote young members of his family and let them hold important positions in the court.
Send the most beautiful woman in the family into the palace to become the emperor's concubine.
The daughter of the Sun family was very capable and gradually gained a foothold in the harem.
The former dynasty and the harem are inseparable.
In the previous dynasty, there was an old duke who was manipulating the previous dynasty, and in the harem, there was a daughter of the Sun family who became the favorite concubine of the previous emperor.
As time went by, the power of the Queen Mother's family grew stronger and stronger, becoming a force that could not be ignored in the court. Seeing this, other aristocratic families followed suit, and the court situation became more and more complicated.
The rise of the Sun family aroused the vigilance of other aristocratic families. Not to be outdone, they sent their own women to the palace in an attempt to get a piece of the pie. The struggle in the harem became more and more intense, and the concubines tried their best to compete with each other for the emperor's favor.
Later, the late emperor also indulged in the tenderness of these women.
In this war without the smoke of gunpowder, the daughter of the Sun family always had the upper hand, relying on the support of the old Duke Su in the previous dynasty, as well as her own intelligence and charm.
However, they did not become complacent because of this, but instead they were more careful to maintain their status.
At the same time, the situation in the court became increasingly tense. The various aristocratic families were fighting overtly and covertly, and the court was in a state of chaos. Although the emperor wanted to rectify the situation, he was helpless and was deeply involved in it and could not get out.
The daughters of the Sun family realized that beauty and intelligence alone were not enough to maintain their status in the long run. They began to get involved in government affairs, secretly collecting intelligence, analyzing the situation, and making plans for the family.
At a palace banquet, the daughter of the Sun family took the opportunity to speak to the emperor, pointing out the shortcomings of the current government and proposing some suggestions for reform. The emperor was very impressed and valued her even more.
However, this aroused the jealousy and fear of other aristocratic families. They united and tried to suppress the Sun family. The daughter of the Sun family faced unprecedented challenges, but she did not back down. Instead, she relied on her wisdom and courage to launch a thrilling contest with various forces.
In the end, the daughter of the Sun family won, and the government was successfully controlled by the Sun family.
Later, when the late emperor grew old, it was too late to reorganize the government.
The Sun family's influence has infiltrated every department of the court.
The power of Daqing is firmly in the hands of the Duke Su’s Mansion.
The late emperor simply ignored the matter and allowed the Sun family to abuse their power in Shangjing. After taking power, the Sun family began to actively cultivate their own power.
They also recruited talents from all walks of life, and all of them, whether civil officials or military generals, were defeated by the Sun family.
They also implemented a series of reform measures aimed at improving people's livelihood and rectifying the administration of officials.
He seemed to regard himself as the master of Daqing.
However, the rise of the Sun family aroused the vigilance of other forces. They secretly colluded and attempted to overthrow the rule of the Sun family. But the Sun family had already been prepared and resolved the crisis time and time again.
Under the management of the Sun family, the Sun family became the actual rulers of the Daqing Kingdom and became famous.
The daughter of the Sun family even became the queen, the master of the harem.
After the Sun family became the master of the harem, they began to openly suppress the concubines in the harem.
During that dark period, all the favorite concubines in the harem were killed or disabled.
The late emperor wanted to save people but was powerless.
The young prince was almost completely harmed by Empress Sun.
However, Empress Sun committed many evil deeds, and eventually her own child was killed by other concubines.
Empress Sun turned the concubine who killed her son into a human pig.
But she could never bring back her son's life.
The Sun family planned for more than ten years, but in the end they did not have the other half of the royal bloodline.
So the old duke came up with an idea to let his concubine's daughter enter the palace to have a child with the emperor.
When a son was born, he was raised by the queen.
However, no matter how much she planned, she had not expected that at this moment, Empress Sun was no longer the eldest sister who loved and cared for her younger sisters at home.
She became cruel and ruthless.
Her concubine's sister came to compete with her for the man and had a child with her man.
How could she be willing to do so?
But for the sake of your own future, you have to endure it.
The queen waited until her concubine's sister gave birth to the child seven days before killing her.
But she never imagined that her son, who was half Sun family blood, would also be killed by the emperor's favorite concubine.
The Sun family no longer had any girls of marriageable age to send to the palace.
Just like that, the old Duke Su's dream was completely shattered.
The Sun family lost hope and gradually declined.
The powerful people who had once formed an alliance with the Sun family, seeing that the Sun family was doomed, turned against them and joined the fight for the throne.
The Sun family became the target of public criticism and was besieged by various forces. Amid internal and external troubles, the Sun family also split. Some people chose to betray the Sun family in order to protect themselves; others insisted on the family honor and fought a desperate battle with other families.
In this bloody power struggle, the Sun family was unwilling to gradually decline and was eventually completely swallowed up.
Empress Sun began to look for other princes.
But the princes were all grown up, and most of the younger ones were killed by her.
Seeing that the son of Concubine Zheng, who was sent to the palace by the Zheng family, was very likely to seize the throne.
The Sun family began to plan again.
Empress Sun knew even more that as soon as Concubine Zheng's son ascended the throne, the first target would be the Duke Su's Mansion.
Empress Sun would not allow this to happen.
The Duke Su's Mansion cannot sit idly by and wait for death.
The Sun family decided to join forces with other court officials who had not yet expressed their positions to support a prince to ascend the throne. They secretly collected intelligence, analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of each prince, and looked for the most advantageous partner.
At the same time, Empress Sun also used tricks in the palace to try to undermine the image of Concubine Zheng and her son and win the support of more concubines and palace maids. However, Concubine Zheng was no ordinary person. She noticed the actions of the Sun family and began to take countermeasures.
A thrilling palace power struggle is about to begin...
Concubine Zheng knew the Sun family's methods very well, so she decided to strike first. She used her beauty and wisdom to successfully win over a group of palace maids and eunuchs and made them her spies.
Not only that, Concubine Zheng also cleverly arranged some events to affect the reputation of the Sun family in the palace. The supporters of the Sun family began to waver, and some even switched to Concubine Zheng's side.
Seeing this, Empress Sun became even more determined to get rid of Concubine Zheng. She secretly vowed to protect the status and interests of the Sun family at all costs.
The Sun family began to fight back. They used their power in the court to spread all kinds of rumors about Concubine Zheng.
At the same time, the Sun family also stepped up their efforts to win over other princes, trying to find a powerful ally.
At this critical moment, a mysterious figure appeared. His name was He Zitong, a young man of humble origins but brilliant talent. With his wisdom, He Zitong successfully attracted the attention of the Sun family. The Sun family decided to recruit him to serve as their advisor.
He Zitong studied the current situation and came up with a bold plan: he suggested that the Sun family form an alliance with the underworld forces outside the palace and use their power to fight against Concubine Zheng.
After careful consideration, the Sun family finally agreed to He Zitong's plan. As a result, the Sun family began to contact various gangs in the underworld to seek opportunities for cooperation.
In the process of contacting various gangs, the Sun family encountered many difficulties. Some gangs did not trust the Sun family and were worried about being involved in the vortex of court struggles.
Other gangs attempted to use the Sun family to achieve their own goals.
However, the Sun family did not give up. Through various channels, they learned about a gang called "Qingfeng Gang". This gang is well-known in the world, powerful, and the leader Tieqing Fengfeng is a loyal man.
The Sun family sent an envoy to have a secret talk with Tie Wuqing. During the negotiation, the Sun family showed enough sincerity and promised to give the Qingfeng Gang a generous reward. In the end, the two sides reached a consensus and decided to form an alliance to fight against Concubine Zheng.
The news of the alliance between the Sun family and the Qingfeng Gang quickly spread throughout the capital, shocking all forces.
When Concubine Zheng learned this, she was secretly shocked, but she remained calm on the surface.
She knew that the fight had escalated and that action had to be taken quickly.
So, she secretly contacted other forces that were hostile to the Sun family, trying to form a larger alliance.
At the same time, the Sun family and the Qingfeng Gang were also busy planning their next move.
They decided to start with the Sun family members in the court and gradually weaken the opponent's power.
A thrilling palace drama is about to be staged...
The Sun family and the Qingfeng Gang decided to send out spies to gather intelligence on Concubine Zheng and her gang.
At the same time, Concubine Zheng is also actively planning a counterattack. She uses her connections in the palace to try to destroy the alliance between the Sun family and the Qingfeng Gang.
At this critical moment, Sun Yi, the eldest son of the Sun family, stood up. She was very smart and determined to contribute to the family. Sun Yi skillfully maneuvered between the palace and the underworld, successfully obtained important intelligence, and thwarted Concubine Zheng's conspiracy.
However, the actions of the Sun family and the Qingfeng Gang attracted the attention of the emperor. The emperor began to doubt the Sun family, which put the Sun family in an even more difficult situation. In the crisis, can the Sun family turn the danger into safety? How will the struggle between the Sun family, the Qingfeng Gang and Concubine Zheng develop? Everything at that time was full of variables...
