Eight years after the beginning of Thailand. A lot happened in the palace this year.

The first is Xie Jiu's birth. A white and chubby son who weighs eight pounds and eight taels. Because the child was too big, Xie Jiu gave birth to this child for three days and three nights, fainted several times, and almost lost his life. But in the end, it was Ping An who gave birth to the emperor's grandson.

The emperor was so happy that he issued an edict the next day and canonized Xie Jiu as a good yuan. It is said that the emperor originally wanted to canonize Xie Jiu as Liangdi, but the queen reminded her beside her: "The crown princess is also pregnant now, will it be too exciting for you to raise the mother of the emperor's eldest grandson like this?" If it's not good to have a tire gas, it's our grandson. Xie Jiu was born in a humble manner, just seal the end instrument. ”

But the emperor especially likes this eldest grandson, especially when he was born in the first month, and he was born with an auspicious number of eight catties and eight taels. The emperor was superstitious, so he thought that this child must have some origin. In the end, the emperor and queen each made a move, and the emperor canonized Xie Jiu as a good yuan.

The grade of the concubine in the East Palace is the five grades of Liangdi, Liangyuan, Duanyi, Liangren, and Liangzhi under the position of the crown princess. Among them, there can be two Liangdi, three Liangyuan, and five Duanyi, and these ten are official grades. The good man and the good envoy belong to the reserve level, and they are not officially the prince's concubines for the time being.

After the edict was issued, Yingcuixuan also began to be renovated as the bedroom of the newly canonized Liangyuan. In other words, in another month, Xie Jiu will move back to the East Palace, and he will come back as the second hostess of the East Palace besides me.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Xie Jiu should have been regarded as a member of the emperor's palace, and her talent level is also unique to the emperor's harem. Xie Jiu and the prince, in the eyes of the old antiques who insisted on ancient rites, even felt a little incest between their father's aunt and their son. However, due to the special situation of the prince, he had not been in contact with a woman before the official wedding, and there was really no suitable candidate around. The queen chose to choose from east to west, and finally chose a talented person who had never been touched by the emperor, as the crown prince's Dunlun enlightenment "Taifu", also because of the achievement of Xie Jiu's blessing.

People have the ability to give birth to a son who is eight pounds and eight taels, and it is reasonable to live in Yingcuixuan. There are some things that I can't control, so I can only try not to think about them. Come on, come on, anyway, my principle has always been, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. What if you're here? All I have to do is hold on to the prince. What if you give birth to a son? No matter how favored I am, it's just a butcher's daughter, as long as I give birth to a son-in-law, this eight-pound son will still have to stand aside.

In March of this year, Hu Guifei also gave birth, but unfortunately only gave birth to a little princess. This is definitely good news for the East Palace and the Empress. In this way, the throne of the crown prince will be more secure. Because although there are many princes in the emperor, they are all born to women of lower grades. The real harem has several nobles, such as Zuo's noble concubine, who has no children and no daughters; Mrs. Zhuge has only one princess; Now the most favored Hu Guifei only gave birth to a princess. For the crown prince, at least among the emperor's sons, there are no strong rivals.

Not long after Hu Guifei gave birth to a daughter, it seemed that her confinement had not even been finished, and an astonishing news came out of the palace: the emperor actually canonized Yang Zhi, who had just turned fourteen, as the first concubine of the nine concubines! Bestow on the Bihan Palace.

On the day of the night banquet in the East Palace, I was not mistaken, the emperor really didn't know when he had quietly gnawed the tender grass. did not canonize immediately, probably considering that Hu Guifei was about to give birth, and she was afraid of hitting her. In addition, Yang Zhi's age is also too young, and she just turned fourteen yesterday. The emperor also has to take into account the psychological tolerance of the people of the whole country, and canonizing a thirteen-year-old concubine is too much. Yesterday, she turned fourteen, and she was a young girl.

The newly canonized little concubine immediately monopolized all the emperor's leisure time in the posture of defending the horse. It is really a special night of spring from the spring outing, whether it is the Yaohua Palace, which has been in the Xuanhe for more than ten years, or the Yanxu Palace, which has been lively for almost two years, the court is suddenly cold, and the emperor is almost never seen again.

The fourteen-year-old concubine unified the harem in one fell swoop, ending the situation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the harem. Because Yang Zhi is the queen's cousin, the harem has become a queen party to dominate the world. Those who had previously attached themselves to the Hu Party and the Zhuge Party, seeing that the situation was not right, abandoned the darkness and turned to the light one after another, and sold themselves to the new forces.

As a result of the great changes in the emperor's harem, there are two impacts on my East Palace: first, those three beloved people have lost their backers more and more, and they have completely no deterrent effect on me; Second, the father of the newly favored concubine is Yang Jue, the chief Zhan of the East Palace. With the favor of his daughter, his position also rose rapidly, and he was soon named Hussar General, Dongmu Hou, Lingdong Gong Zhan Shi, and Prince Taibao. His younger brother Yang Ji was also crowned as a prince at the same time. And their cousin, Yang Jun, the queen's father, has long been second only to my father. The Yang family is a family, and the degree of Xuan He is unparalleled for a while, and the Chinese people call it "Three Yangs".

The emperor let the second of the "three Yangs" enter the East Palace, which is really a good intention, in order to consolidate the status of the East Palace. But what he didn't expect was that the Yang clan's power was too strong, and it had reached the point where it was above the East Palace and the crown prince. The current crown prince, what he is most afraid of is not King Qi, but Er Yang, every time Er Yang teaches, he always has a very painful expression, not like going to class, but like going to the execution ground.

Every time he came back from Eryang, the prince was very unhappy. According to Zhang Hong's report, these two Yangs are Taibao Shaobao, and they are the queen's uncle, and they are the prince's elders. Therefore, he was very arrogant in front of the prince, and lost the respect he deserved, and sometimes the prince couldn't answer the question, so he even roared.

Outrageous! No matter how prominent their power is, they are courtiers after all, and they should be cautious as ministers, what are they now?

But at the moment, there's nothing I can do about it. They are officials of the imperial court, and I am the crown princess who lives deep in the inner palace and has no power for the time being, and I am also the crown princess with a big belly, so I can only watch the prince do it in a hurry.

In September of this year, I gave birth to a daughter. The queen was disappointed, and even my father was disappointed, because he had been hoping that I would have a son. He wanted a son all his life, and when he was over fifty years old, he had no hope, so he wanted me to give birth to a grandson, but I didn't let him do it.

During my confinement, the prince had to move out and live in another bedroom in the Mingxia Palace. It is said that Xie Jiu, as well as those three beloveds, are now running there every day, hoping to take the crown prince in one fell swoop while I am in confinement.

I hugged my grandfather's daughter, who didn't like my grandmother's pain, looked at the lonely room, and quietly shed tears.
