"Wow, isn't that the heads of civil officials all from these eight families?" Yu Xiaoxiang couldn't help but exclaim, and seemed to be more interested.

"That's it, not to mention the leaders, even among the 1,200 civil officials of the Great Dynasty, at least forty percent are from the eight great families. And of all the officials in the hall today, only about 10% are from poor families, and the rest are all disciples of the gate valve. If it weren't for the gate valve controlling the civil affairs, Your Majesty and Your Highness would not have such a headache. Xing'er said assumedly.

"Uh-huh, Xing'er!!"

Yue'er's voice suddenly came, and when she attracted Xing'er to turn around, she gave her a fierce glare, making the little girl spit out her little fragrant tongue and smile flatteringly, and then turned around and continued to say to Yu Xiaoxiang: "In short, those gate lords are very powerful, but they are not something we can provoke, let's talk about those two imperial concubines." ”

"Uh-huh, Sister Xing'er, you go on. "Yu Xiaoxiang is not stupid, naturally she knows that Yue'er was warning just now, of course she will not continue to ask about those family things.

"After the two ladies entered the palace, because of their beautiful appearances, they were favored by His Majesty. It's just that the German Emperor and Concubine are quiet, that is, they do not compete for favor or arrogance, so they are even more loved by the Queen Mother and her old people. And Emperor Hui's concubine can come to work, that is, she understands how to please His Majesty, and she has the help of the maternal clan of the previous dynasty, so the two of them were promoted to concubines within two years. In the first two years, it was considered peaceful, but in the year of promotion, the German Emperor and Concubine became pregnant! In our Star Clan, it is a surprise to be pregnant so soon, of course, whether it is Your Majesty or the Ancestor, they are all very happy. But there is a saying that when a family is happy, there is a family of sorrows, and the pregnant imperial concubine naturally attracted all the attention of the harem, and His Majesty already valued family affection and was always with him, but even so, when he was about six months old, there was still an accident, and there was a miscarriage without warning. Xing'er also sighed when she said this.

"Hey, the women in the harem have to pinch their lives when they give birth to a child. Yu Xiaoxiang nodded in agreement.

"Who's to say it isn't. Xing'er shook her head, and then said: "At that time, everyone was very sad, and the German Imperial Concubine was even more depressed for a long time, even if His Majesty gave her the first promotion to the Imperial Concubine, it still couldn't make up for the sadness. Originally, this was a great opportunity for Emperor Hui's concubine, but the problem was that good people have good rewards, and it hadn't been three years since the other concubines' stomachs didn't react, and the German emperor concubine was pregnant again! That year, it was also the time when His Royal Highness was repairing in Shengjing and preparing to start preparations for the invasion of the frozen fifty-eight countries. It is also the first year that Lingxiao Palace has just been completed. Therefore, His Royal Highness directly proposed in the court to let the imperial concubine come to Lingxiao Palace to recuperate and give birth. ”

Speaking of this, Xing'er mysteriously lowered her voice and approached Yu Xiaoxiang and said, "Actually, what happened to the miscarriage before, everyone has points in their hearts, but there is no evidence, and in the end, it can only be stopped." So, as soon as the suggestion put forward by our Royal Highness came out, although some people questioned it, more courtiers still agreed, after all, not everyone wanted the royal family to cut off the heirs. In this way, His Majesty pushed the boat down the river and let the Emperor and Concubine come to our Lingxiao Palace to have a baby, and because of this, as soon as the pregnancy passed in October, His Royal Highness became the first royal child born in Lingxiao Palace in good health. Up to now, the Fifth Highness, the Sixth Highness, the Seventh Highness, the Eighth Highness, the Ninth Highness, and the Princess of Allure are all waiting to give birth in our Lingxiao Palace. ”

"I see, no wonder the Fourth Highness and His Highness seem to be very close. Yu Xiaoxiang nodded, as if she knew some of the causes and consequences.

With a turn of beautiful eyes, Xing'er giggled and said, "Hehe, speaking of this, our Highness has done quite a great job." As soon as the concubines who are waiting to give birth enter the Hidden Dragon Hall of Lingxiao Palace, even the things brought by His Majesty himself have to be jointly inspected by the eight imperial doctors of the Imperial Medicine Department in our palace, and other foreign objects are not allowed to approach the Hidden Dragon Hall at all. Hehe, I still remember that at that time, His Majesty brought a box of pastries that the Emperor and Concubine liked and in front of him, they were broken into pieces, and His Majesty was so angry that he didn't talk to our Highness for three days. ”

"Hehe, this is really what our Highness can do. Covering her small mouth, Yu Xiaoxiang smiled happily.

"In short, although it is absolutely absolute, as of today, so many princes and princesses have been born, which can be regarded as a great contribution. After Xing'er finished speaking with a smile, she continued: "Three years after Emperor De's concubine had four highnesses, Emperor Hui's concubine was also pregnant, and she also gave birth in our palace, which is today's fifth highness. The two imperial concubines have princes, in other words, there is the possibility of becoming successors. The German Emperor Concubine is nothing, but the Hui Emperor Concubine wants to get the phoenix seal from the ancestor. It's a pity that she really miscalculated His Majesty's feelings for the First Holy Empress. After a blind toss, not to mention the successor and the phoenix seal, she almost let His Majesty abolish her, and in the end, it was the ancestor who came out to intercede, so he reluctantly suppressed the matter. Since then, His Majesty has had the idea of handing over the phoenix seal to the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine. It's just that Emperor De's concubine is a smart person, and she doesn't want to be the target of public criticism, and she knows that Emperor Hui's concubine can come to work, so she has been refusing to use reasons such as being physically unhealthy. It wasn't until a few years ago that our fourth highness was promoted to the vice president of the Xingchen Army, and under the persuasion of the ancestors, she took over the phoenix seal. ”

"Oh~~ I see. Emperor De's concubine took the phoenix seal, so even if she is at the same level, she is a head higher than Emperor Hui's concubine, and with her temperament, she is naturally even more dissatisfied, so she has what His Royal Highness said just now, right?" Yu Xiaoxiang nodded, understanding the reason.

"That's right. In fact, that's exactly what happened. However, what our Highness said just now is also right, as long as His Royal Highness can be valued by His Majesty, then it is not easy to bring down the Emperor and Concubine no matter how others toss. What's more, you haven't seen our Highness go crazy yet. With him as a backer, who dares to mess around. Hehe, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will know. Xing'er smiled like a little fox.

Although she didn't quite understand what Xing'er meant, Yu Xiaoxiang also knew that since she didn't want to say it now, it would be useless to ask, so she nodded, and after thinking about it, she asked curiously: "Sister Xing'er, this is strange." Didn't you say that our Highness didn't have any other concubines before he was born? Then why did His Highness rank third? Moreover, when the Holy Empress passed away, she gave birth to two sons and one daughter, but why were they actually three sons and one daughter? What about the two Highnesses?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Yue'er, who didn't speak on the side, raised her head instantly, but even Xing'er was delicate and immediately changed.
