I am the emperor in the harem (11)
Although Yuanxi was also domineering when he was most favored, there was still rain and dew from other people in the harem, not to mention, it was just Shen Yaqin's ecstasy array before.
Now, there are actually many concubines who have not seen the emperor for a long time, let alone those with low status, and everyone in the harem gritted their teeth when they mentioned her, hating her to the core.
The ministers of the previous dynasty were also very dissatisfied with the emperor's various actions in recent years.
At the beginning, in order to win the support of the courtiers and be able to resist the Yuan family in the future, Yi Zeyu married many ministers' daughters.
But who knew that this turn of his head, he actually favored a concubine alone, not to mention, but actually promoted her mother's family repeatedly for this concubine, completely ignoring the balance of the harem and the influence of the previous dynasty, plus the grievance letters from the daughters of each family from time to time, which made all the important ministers dissatisfied with this young and arrogant emperor.
Now there are only two princes under the emperor's knees, the eldest prince is the daughter of the Yuan family, and now the son of the concubine, who is not only talented and intelligent, but also taught by Yuanxi very well, knows books and reason, and treats people with courtesy.
On the contrary, the second prince not only does not show his mother's family, but his mother is also a demon concubine who charms the lord, not to mention, all those who have come into contact with the second prince can't help but say that his personality is really domineering.
Speaking of age, it's just a few years old, but the temperament is raised very domineering, as long as the slightest disobedience, will make a lot of noise, after learning what his mother often said, "drag out the palm", you can hear him say this almost every day.
The most regrettable thing is that there are many people in the palace, but no one corrects his behavior, and the concubine dotes on him so much that he always feels that he should put all the best in front of him.
In front of Yi Zeyu, he was very good at pretending, although the emperor had heard about it, but after Shen Yaqin severely punished a few people, no one dared to mention the evil deeds of the second prince in front of him.
The courtiers outside the palace saw the contrast between the two princes in their eyes, and they all began to secretly support the Yuan family, since this emperor is unreliable, it is better to start currying favor with the next emperor as soon as possible.
With the support of the Yuan family behind him, it is not a sure thing for the eldest prince to ascend to the throne.
Yi Zeyu had already secretly thrown himself into the Yuan family because his ministers had already secretly thrown themselves into it, and he didn't know what he was very dissatisfied with, and he was even thinking about how to use the power of these ministers to balance the Yuan family.
It was another year of the queen's thousand-autumn banquet, and there was something at the banquet that broke the existing delicate balance pattern.
The queen has been sick all year round, and now she is even more seriously ill, but after careful recuperation, she can barely get out of bed.
At the banquet, I don't know who instigated the second prince, he contradicted the queen everywhere, and actually made the queen so angry that she fell into a coma in front of the public.
Although the queen is basically in a state of being overhead, the queen is the queen after all, and the power of the middle palace cannot be ignored.
Everyone in the harem demanded that this matter should be severely punished, the second prince was young, and someone must have instructed him behind the scenes.
The ministers of the previous dynasty would not let go of this opportunity and asked for the crown prince to be crowned in order to establish the prestige of the middle palace.
Whether it is the harem or the wishes of the previous dynasty, Yi Zeyu is very unhappy, in his opinion, the queen is simply pretending to be sick, seeing that she loves Shen Yaqin and the second prince, she wants to coerce herself.
He rejected everyone's proposal to punish him severely, and he did not go to see the seriously ill queen once, and the harem concubines were chilled by the emperor's cold attitude, and they had a cold feeling about the queen's current miserable situation.
