The Black Iron City on Yizhou Island is surging, and the capital of the Central Plains is also turbulent.

It is already a harsh winter in the capital, the snow is fluttering, the earth is covered in silver, in this severe cold, the people of the capital are very happy, because the northwest has good news, a big victory. Those barbarians were defeated and lost, and even the royal court was forced to migrate north. When the news came, the emperor was very happy and held a banquet to celebrate, which was a great victory that had never been achieved since the founding of the Great Chu, and the emperor felt that he had become a generation of Zhongxing monarchs who had left a name in history.

At the banquet, the queen and the emperor were congratulated by the courtiers together, and the queen still looked so graceful and luxurious, but a pair of eyes betrayed her, and a trace of hatred flashed from time to time. Chen Guifei was full of red face, she recently had a grandson, so she was naturally in a good mood. Concubine Wande is still favored by the emperor. In the past, when she was favored, there was no one in her eyes, but now she has been degraded, and she has become much deeper, and she has begun to talk and laugh with the wives who are friendly with her. Because the emperor was in a good mood for a while, he promoted the position of several young harems, including Qian Shuyuan, who had been pregnant before but did not give birth to a prince, and now she is pregnant again, this time the emperor promoted her position as one of the four concubines as Qian Shufei. In addition to her, in the past few years, there have also been several favored palace concubines, or palace concubines who have given birth to princesses with relatively low positions, some have become Zhaoyi, some have become Zhaorong, some have become Shuyuan, and some have become concubines. At this banquet, all dressed up in fancy clothes appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

For a while, the wives who had a relationship with these palace concubines began to have a relationship with the palace concubines, and there were hidden waves in a cluster of flowers.

The princes, except for the fourth prince Liu Yan, also attended the banquet in Jiangnan. The emperor still loves the third prince Liu Hong as always. Liu Hong's Qi princess Zheng is pregnant, but her beautiful face does not have a trace of happiness, because she is accompanied by two side concubines who are both with big bellies, and one of them looks older than hers. No wonder she was upset.

The second prince has always been obese and disliked by the emperor, but he is the only one surrounded by a few children. But they are all concubines, and his main concubine, Princess Zhou, has a gloomy face, her lower abdomen is flat, and it seems that there is still no movement.

The prince is surrounded by beads and jade. In addition to the emperor, there are the most women around him, in addition to the crown princess Ren, there are also his four princes Liangdi, namely Chen Wenyuan Chen Liangdi, Li Linghuan Li Liangdi of the Li family, these two are the old Liangdi, and the two new Liangdi, one is Hua Liangdi, the sister of Princess Zhou, and the other is the newly sent queen of the Wang family, Meihuan Wang Liangdi.

Of these four Liangdi, Chen Liangdi is the most favored by the prince. Li Liangdi is pregnant, Wang Liangdi is kind, and Hua Liangdi is proud and willful. The fight was very strong.

At this moment, Hua Liangdi was talking to Li Liangdi: "Hmph, what about being born in a big family? What if you're pregnant? Where is this woman who can't get pregnant? In a year or two, we can get pregnant and have children, so why should I let her stand before me. Although I am not from a big family, I am the sister of Princess Zhou. Where the status is low. ”

The crown princess is no longer the same good person as before, and she has also practiced her skills after more house fights, and when she heard this, she said: "Oops." Hua Liangdi, just bear with it. Now Li Liangdi is the most valued person by the queen, but the gold is expensive. Besides, you are the sister of Princess Zhou, and Chen Liangdi is still the sister of Princess Jin. Chen Liangdi is still from the Chen family. Chen Guifei was her aunt and took care of her many times. ”

Chen Wenyuan glanced at the crown princess. I hated it in my heart, but I said, "What am I? I'm just a concubine, where can I compare to the queen Liangdi, the nephew of the queen's mother, Wang Liangdi was born in the Wang family, and she is young and beautiful. It's so much better than an old man like me. ”

A trace of unhappiness flashed in Wang Liangdi's eyes, and she soon said with a smile: "Chen Liangdi is Liao Zan, where can I be young and beautiful, the most in today's banquet are beauties, you see, I don't know which family is the wife in the water pavilion, it is very sweet." ”

Wang Liangdi easily diverted the topic, making Chen Liangdi and the crown princess secretly hate, this Wang Liangdi is not like the brainless Wang Pianpian before, she doesn't keep her hands, and she doesn't let people grab the handle at all.

The women of the prince here are fighting openly and secretly, and the emperor over there does not talk to the queen at all, but said to Chen Guifei with a smile: "Ai Concubine, there are many pregnant people in the royal family this year, and there should be many babies born next year, which is really a happy event." The national fortunes of our Dachu are becoming more and more prosperous. ”

Chen Guifei smiled and said: "Yes, the emperor, especially the King of Jin in Jiangnan, Concubine Zheng gave birth to the first concubine of our royal family, and now even the concubine is pregnant. Look at King Qi again, the main concubine and the side concubine are pregnant, and next year, King Qi will be able to give birth to three more children at once, which is really gratifying. ”

The queen on the side hurriedly joked and said: "Yes, there is also someone on the prince's side who is pregnant, and it is the noble Li Liangdi." There will be many children born next year, and we will be called the imperial grandfather and the imperial grandmother. ”

Although the emperor didn't like the empress, he smiled happily when he heard this.

Seeing this, Concubine Chen Guifei said: "In addition to this prince, there are also three concubines in our harem who are pregnant, especially Concubine Qian Shu, the imperial doctor said that it may be a prince?" ”

When the queen heard this, her smiling face stiffened, but the emperor was very happy, and his eyes turned to the charming Qian Shufei, who was dressed with a bulging lower abdomen, and her smile became even bigger.

The queen secretly hated in her heart.

Everyone enjoyed this banquet, and there were a lot of things that came out. For example, Yan Songbai's family, because Yan Songbai has no wife, he can't take his wife to such a banquet, but his son has an official position, and his daughter-in-law attended this banquet. Some asked, I heard that his master Yan Songbai now favors the concubine the most, and that concubine also gave birth to a son. made Yan Songbai's daughter-in-law very embarrassed, and it was easy to wait until the banquet was over and hurried back home.

When she got home, she said to her husband: "Uncle, you see the grievances I suffered in the circle of women in the palace, our family has made fun of people to death. How do you explain the death of your mother-in-law? And the jewel, the two aunts of the pearl are too different, almost everyone in the capital knows about it, what does this look like? ”

Yan Songbai's son said with a gloomy face: "Hmph, it's not my father who provoked it, he dotes on his aunt, loves his younger son, and forced my mother to death, and now he still looks at our husband and wife unpleasantly, I really can't wait to leave this family." ”

While the husband and wife were talking, the next person suddenly came to tell them, saying that the two aunts in the backyard were making trouble again, and asked the young lady to take a look. Yan Songbai's daughter-in-law suddenly had a black line on her face, and she hated that she had to go, but the sound in the backyard was getting louder and louder, and there was no way, Yan Songbai's daughter-in-law could only pass with a black face.

The Yan family was making a lot of trouble, and within a few days, the people in the capital began to spread another piece of news. Li Liangdi, who was pregnant in the prince's mansion, had a miscarriage. The queen was furious, and it turned out that it was Hua Liangdi's hand, and Hua Liangdi actually committed suicide in fear of sin. The prince was furious, but he couldn't help it.

The third prince was watching the prince's jokes, and something happened in his own house, and the month-old side concubine also had a miscarriage. The third prince was also furious, and there was gossip that it was the hand of Princess Qi, and now King Qi and Princess Qi looked together.

When these gossip was flying, the king of Zhou in the prince's camp suddenly spoke ill of the prince at a banquet, and the prince was angry and moved against the king of Zhou, and the news reached the palace, but the emperor was surprisingly not angry, but just passed on the oracle lightly, punishing the prince and the king of Zhou for a year.

When the news came out, everyone couldn't understand, everyone was waiting for the emperor to punish the king of Zhou and the crown prince, but it turned out that he was only punishing Yulu, which really made everyone understand.

When the news reached Jiangnan, Liu Yan, Liu Jingyuan, and Chen Yuanheng sat together to discuss these things. Liu Yan has become more and more comfortable in handling affairs these days, and the cold air on his body has slowly subsided, replacing it with the majesty of a superior person.

Liu Yan said: "I think my father is dead to the prince and the second brother, so he will symbolically punish him." Chen Yuanheng said: "King Jin's analysis is right, the emperor has long been dissatisfied with the prince, this is his heart is dead, and he ignores the prince." I don't think the crown prince will be deposed soon. ”

Liu Jingyuan said: "Everyone in the world knows that the emperor is dissatisfied with the prince, but after so many years, the emperor still hasn't mentioned the abolition of the prince? I'm a little skeptical now, whether the emperor wants to abolish the crown prince? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "The crown prince will definitely be deposed, but the emperor has to take into account the feelings of the Wang family, and now he is at the moment of using troops against the northern barbarians. The emperor has the blood of the Li family on his body, but has the emperor shown mercy to the Li family? Therefore, after several confrontations with the emperor, the Li family began to be neutral. Our Chen family and Bai family could have helped the emperor to flank the barbarians left and right, but neither of them did so, but took a wait-and-see attitude. You say, Your Majesty, while fighting with the barbarians, he is being watched by the Chen and Bai clans on the left and right, will he still provoke the Wang family behind the prince at this time? ”

Liu Yan nodded, is this world the world of the Liu family? This world is the world of five surnames, even if the Liu family is a royal family, it cannot surpass the four major families.
