Chapter 382: Harem Storm
I still remember that when she was young, she envied the love between her second sister and her cousin, and looked forward to the second sister and her cousin being able to get married and live a life of affection and love
I never thought that the emperor would make a holy decree, and her second sister Baili family concubine entered the emperor's palace as a side concubine, and then on the eve of the emperor's cousin's accession to the throne, she died in childbirth, leaving behind two poor nieces and a congenitally deficient nephew.
At that time, she was in the year of the reign, because the first emperor died, the whole country could not marry within a year, and because the second sister died in childbirth, leaving two daughters and a son, no one to take care of, she was elected to the palace by the queen mother's aunt in the second year of her cousin's accession to the throne, and was canonized as Jieyu of the fourth grade.
Three years after entering the palace, she gave birth to a daughter, from the fourth grade Jieyu to Xiuyuan, and she has not moved the slightest position for many years.
Her heart was melancholy, her brother-in-law, who used to be the most respected, and her cousin, who loved her as a sister, suddenly became her husband, and her heart was confused.
But the order of the queen mother's aunt cannot be violated, and she also knows that the nephews and nieces left by the second sister will have a very difficult time without the care of their biological mother in the palace, so she made up her mind to take care of the nephews and nieces for the second sister......
She wanted to be an ordinary concubine in the harem and protect her nephews and nieces, but she never thought that she suddenly became pregnant twelve years ago, and she gave birth to a daughter in October, and the emperor's cousin became more and more cold to her!
At the beginning, I came to her palace every once in a while, and then I came once a month, and then once in the next few months.
Now the emperor's cousin suddenly came, which made her a little overwhelmed!
Children's affairs, not that she can call the shots, although she regards her nephews and nieces as her own flesh and blood, but she is also a woman, and she also wants to have her own children, she has never forced it, when her daughter came suddenly, and then after giving birth, she learned that it was just a daughter, she was still comforted, and she never thought that even if she gave birth to a daughter, the emperor's cousin gradually snubbed her.
She didn't resent anyone, and she didn't care that the emperor's cousin snubbed her......
She just couldn't figure it out, she couldn't figure out why the emperor's cousin snubbed her when she gave birth to her own child?
Even if she has her own children, she will treat the nephews and nieces left by her second sister as her own flesh and blood!
The contemplation in Baili Xiuyuan's heart, in the night, the emperor did not notice, and the emperor was also in the contemplation of the past at this moment, he seemed to see the scene when he was young, he and his cousin stepped out to play, vowing to travel all over the mountains and rivers......
After a long time, the Emperor muttered, "Fourteen years, fourteen years, time flies!" ”
In the dead of night, the emperor fell asleep peacefully, while Baili Xiuyuan was unable to fall asleep with her eyes open.
Why did the emperor's cousin suddenly mention that she had been in the palace for 14 years?
Did you suddenly think of her, or did you simply come to talk to her about how much she missed her second sister?
The second sister has been dead for fifteen years, and she has been in the palace for fourteen years, what is the connection, she is in the palace, just a person who takes care of the three children left by the second sister, and she is just an unknown woman among the people in the harem.
She didn't take the initiative to compete for favor, nor did she ever want to climb to a high position, she just wanted to complete her mission safely, take care of the three children left by the second sister, raise her daughter, and wait until the day when the emperor's cousin went, she could get a favor and go out of the palace to see the rivers and lakes.
The rivers and lakes are so big, she really wants to see them, and she really wants to see what the rivers and lakes written in the picture book look like, whether they are really so thrilling, so spontaneous and natural.
As for the rest, she never had a luxury.
In her life, she has never loved anyone, although the emperor's cousin is her husband, but not her lover, she has always only regarded the emperor's cousin as a brother and a brother-in-law......
The next day, after the emperor left Baili Xiuyuan's dormitory, it didn't take long for a holy decree to come out from the emperor's Qianqing Palace, Jin Xiuyuan Baili was the third concubine Zhaoyuan, and another hundred taels of gold, ten brocades, and one east pearl.
Baili Xiuyuan, now she is Baili Zhaoyuan, she received the reward lightly, and there was no sadness or joy on her face.
Eleven years ago, she became one of the nine concubines Xiuyuan, and eleven years later, she is still one of the nine concubines, Zhaoyuan, she has already looked down on these in her life and doesn't care anymore!
I don't want to fight for fame, I don't want to take profits, I just want to live well, I just want to have the opportunity to go outside the palace in the future to see if the world outside the high palace walls is still the same as fourteen years ago......
Unlike Baili Zhaoyuan's side, in the palace of Concubine Qi, Concubine Qi Xian had a gorgeous face with danqing, hideous and distorted.
The handkerchief in his hand was pinched, and his heart was itching with hatred.
Concubine Qi Xian was drafted into the palace twelve years ago, with her beautiful appearance and outstanding family background, in the case of having no children and no daughters, she became one of the four concubines step by step, and she was in a high position in the palace.
Twelve years of time, twelve years of court life, she is no longer the girl who first entered the palace and is looking forward to love!
In the palace, a woman's wealth is closely related to her family background and her heirs.
She is the daughter of the frontier guard, and now she is the virtuous concubine among the four concubines, and she looks glamorous on the outside, but in fact, she is not......
She was able to enter the palace back then, but because she was the daughter of the Qi family, and her appearance was similar to that of the late concubine Baili's four or five points, and she was able to be favored over the years, and she became a virtuous concubine among the four concubines without a child, but it was just because of a face and the father of the frontier guard!
She knows better than anyone else that the emperor will not let her give birth to a son, her maiden family is a frontier guard, if she gives birth to a son, she is afraid that the Great Yan Kingdom will change the sky!
His Majesty the Emperor was far-sighted and gave her the position of one of the four concubines, but he was unwilling to give her a son and a half daughter.
She hated, resented, but to no avail!
As soon as she entered the palace gate, she was destined to endure hardships in this harem from the day she entered the palace, until the day the oil ran out and the lamp dried up.
She was unwilling, but she couldn't, the emperor gave her a noble status, deceived the people of the world, and when the people of the world mentioned the emperor, they would only say that His Majesty the emperor was merciful, and even a woman with no heirs under her knees could be canonized as the virtuous concubine among the four concubines.
I have to admit that the emperor is a far-sighted and capable person, but because she is the daughter of the Qi family, she can't be a mother, she hates it.
Back then, at the age of fifteen, in her father's study, she was instructed by her father that after entering the palace, she must be favored and give birth to a prince, and in the future, the world of the Great Yan Kingdom will be their family.
She kept it in mind and worked tirelessly for it, but the truth was a slap in the face.
It is impossible for her to be a mother, the emperor is afraid of the power of their Qi family, and will not allow the birth of a prince with their Qi family blood.
Born will not allow such a prince to grow up!
It's not that she can't give birth, but she is not allowed to give birth, because she is the daughter of the Qi family, and her son will have the blood of the Qi family in his body, and the emperor is guarding against their Qi family from beginning to end.
