"In this way, Concubine Xian has a son, and the third prince also has a foreign family to rely on."

Ling Xiao said it lightly, but Ye Tingcheng still heard from his words that the storms of the year, as well as the swords and swords in them.

Concubine Xian was one of the four concubines of the former emperor, and she was also the old man who served by his side before the former emperor ascended the throne.

She was the concubine of the very powerful Guogong Mansion at that time, and the power behind her was more than that of today's concubines.

It's just that Concubine Xian has been in the emperor's mansion for many years, but she has not given birth to a son and a half daughter.

The queen in the harem, as well as the other three concubines, all have their own children.

Even if Concubine De only has one daughter, she has more hope than Concubine Xian having time under her knees.

At this time, the emperor handed over the three princes to her to raise, and for the virtuous concubine, there was not only hope.

There is also greater ambition, and a more generous return to her mother's family.

As long as the third prince becomes the emperor, as the emperor's adoptive mother, she will definitely be respected as the queen mother.

And the biological mother of the third prince is too humble, even if her son becomes the emperor, she is just a concubine.

For the rest of her life, she is just a concubine, and she will never be respected as the queen mother.

At that time, Concubine Xian will have better trading conditions.

That is to marry the girl from her mother's family into the harem, support the descendants of her mother's family to be queens, and dominate the harem.

In this way, Concubine Xian's mother's family will be able to prosper for another few decades.

If there is creation, even if the next emperor does not crawl out of her belly.

The next emperor can come from the blood of her mother's family, so her mother's family will prosper even more and for a longer time.

In the future, it will become Kyoto, and it will not be a problem for the first family among the first-rate families.

And Concubine Xian is only so sure that the third prince will not cross the river and tear down the bridge, will not unload the mill and kill the donkey, and will not respect her as an adoptive mother, but only his biological mother.

is because she is the only biological mother of the third prince, and there is no maternal family to rely on, so naturally there is no conflict with Concubine Xian and the Guogong Mansion.

At most, the biological mother of the third prince will go to the side of the third prince and stuff a few women she likes.

It doesn't matter, there are already many women in the harem, a few more, not too few, a few less, a few less.

As long as she can ensure her status and the prosperity of the Guogong Mansion, she is not unable to compromise with the biological mother of the third prince.

Therefore, the first emperor made a good calculation, the third prince and his biological mother, and the virtuous concubine, plus the Guogong Mansion behind her all played a good abacus.

"The emperor is the crown prince, and he is the queen's concubine, but he can't stop the emperor's preference for the biological mother of the three princes."

The position of the emperor, the crown prince, is not stable, and even the position of his biological mother, the empress, is not stable.

In addition to the other women in the harem, the biggest one who wants the queen's seat is of course Concubine Xian.

It's good to let your adopted son respect herself as the queen mother.

However, if she can be the queen, it will be more logical to be the queen mother in the future.

In this way, she can support her mother's family more confidently.

Not to mention, Concubine Xian has the support of the emperor and the support of her mother's family, which really leveraged the position of the crown prince and the queen.

is only one step away, so that the first emperor can abolish the queen, abolish the crown prince, and then canonize the three princes as the crown prince, and the virtuous concubine as the successor, and even add a noble concubine title to the biological mother of the three princes.

"Just a little bit?"

Ye Chengcheng asked, she had already eaten one steamed bun and was eating the second steamed bun.

Ling Xiao's narration made her listen to it with relish, it was simply a bloody court drama.

"Well, it's just a little bit."

Ling Xiao nodded, he was still eating his first steamed bun.

Due to physical reasons, when he eats, he has to chew more and swallow slowly, and he will eat less than Ye Tingcheng.

And the change of things is on the Queen Mother.

"As I said before, the Ling family, where she was born, is also the mother of the Empress Dowager."

Ling Xiao once said this, but at that time, it was just a passing one, and Ye Qingcheng didn't go to his heart.

Now when he heard Ling Xiao talk about it, Ye Tingcheng felt that the emperor was targeting Ling Xiao, and it was very likely that he was also targeting the Empress Dowager.

"Oh, then say that the Empress Dowager and the former emperor are not mother and son?"

If it is a mother and son, the current emperor is the grandson of the empress dowager.

In the Ling family, they kept a low profile, never bullied others, and never had the idea of suppressing the emperor and letting the emperor be a puppet.

The emperor, who is a grandson, can't just target his own grandmother and Ling Xiao.

What's more, Ling Xiao also said that the mother family of the Queen Mother today is much more high-profile than the Ling family.

However, the Queen Mother's mother is not the most arrogant relative.

And the most arrogant relative is the concubine's mother's family.

"No, the Empress Dowager is the successor, when she entered the palace, the first emperor was not an ignorant child."

The Empress Dowager is the daughter of the Ling family, and the first emperor is the original concubine of the first emperor Yuan.

The first emperor was canonized as the crown prince as soon as he was born, and the first emperor loved this son the most.

For him, he will choose thousands of choices, and after the death of Empress Yuan, he chose the low-key and docile daughter of the Ling family, the Empress Dowager.

As soon as the Empress Dowager entered the palace, the first emperor was raised under her knees.

She did her best to the emperor, and she had a miscarriage in order to save the emperor.

Since then, she has never been pregnant.

However, the former emperor was very filial to the empress dowager.

After the death of the first emperor, he soon revered the empress dowager as the empress dowager.

also planned to canonize the daughter of the Ling family as the queen, but was rejected by the empress dowager.

Only then did other women be appointed as queens, and the Ling family had no second woman to enter the palace except for the empress dowager.

Even before the Empress Dowager, the daughter of the Ling family did not enter the palace.

If it weren't for the will of the first emperor, the empress dowager would not have participated in the palace to be elected.

The Empress Dowager is not that arbitrarily powerful, after the first emperor ascended the throne, she took the initiative to go to the royal temple to pray for the first emperor, thus avoiding the possibility that someone wanted to please her and climb up in the harem.

Later, when the current Queen Mother, the Queen Mother at that time, felt that she was going to be cornered, she took the crown prince to see the Queen Mother, knelt in front of her and begged her to save the lives of their mother and son.

In fact, for the Empress Dowager, who becomes the emperor has little to do with her.

Anyway, she didn't want to abuse power, and she didn't think about fighting for more power for her mother's family.

There is no interest in the plan to stuff the Ling family girl into the emperor's harem.

Therefore, whether it is the crown prince winning or the third prince winning, there is no difference.

It's just that the Empress Dowager had to take action later because Concubine Xian and the biological mother of the third prince did something excessive.

They want to calculate the daughter of the Ling family and the queen mother.

Concubine Xian didn't want to be the queen mother in the future, so she pressed the mountain of the queen mother on her head.
