The western continent of the sea realm is the most traditional and the only breeding place of the human race, and the vast land has huge mountains that bulge like the backbone of a giant dragon and stretch hideously, there are countless rivers that give birth to the human race on both sides of the strait like a mother, and the last inhabiting forest of the beasts after being forced into a desperate situation, as well as dozens of countries with different styles scattered all over the world, which together form this world full of vitality and infinite charm.

The absolute overlord of the southernmost part of the entire Western Continent, the Liang Kingdom.

In the imperial city of Kyoto, the Emperor Liang, who has passed the year of establishment, is about to welcome his eighth son.

Different from the aesthetics of the north of the mainland, the Liangguo architecture located in the southernmost part of the mainland pays attention to the magnificent atmosphere while also pursuing absolute refinement.

Corresponding to the magnificent beauty of the palace complex is the strict defense of the soldiers in the entire palace all over the passes, just if you want to enter the palace from the outer city, you need to pass through the whole nine well-defended checkpoints, the main gate of the palace is only the guard on duty there are a full thirty-six, Liang has nine iron troops that rely on the foundation of the country, two of them are responsible for guarding the palace, one is stationed in the outer city, called the Fierce Guard, 30,000 soldiers, all of them are selected from the garrisons and families of various states, because the armor is tattooed with the statue of the god of the gods, hence the name, the other is called the Xiao Cavalry Guard, 3,000 soldiers, responsible for the security of the entire inner palace, all brave and loyal people recruited from everywhere.

After passing through the outer city in charge of the guard, entering the imperial city, first of all, the ministers passed through the magnificent square before going to the court, you have to step on a thick staircase made of 1,000 and eight marbles to enter the court, and then there is the harem, which is also the private place belonging to the king of a country, with the queen as the honor, controlling the entire harem, which is distributed with the palaces of the concubines and the imperial dining room and other institutions that serve the harem.

And today is the emperor's ninth concubine, but also the most favored one in recent years, just entered the palace is the three products of Zhaoyi, only a year because of the emperor's undiminished grace and was promoted all the way, and now it is squeezed out of the position of a nobleman, and was given from the position of a concubine and a whole Yongle Palace, the emperor's grace is undoubtedly demonstrated.

At this time, at the gate of Yongle Palace, there were thirty elderly palace maids and eunuchs who were kneeling and waiting to be called, and there was a majestic god standing at the door with a long knife in his hand, looking at the six roads, listening to all directions, looking left and right, and having the power of a tiger and wolf.

There are a total of 3,000 Xiao cavalry guards, of which ten people are a team, ten teams are a battalion, ten battalions are a guard, a total of three guards, respectively, Yu Ling, Jinyi, a thousand cows, among which the soldiers are called by numbers, and the official position above the captain can be given a name, and this person's name is called Jinglong, it is two years ago that the commander of the Qianniu Guard from one of the nine armies, guarding the frontier, the Youzhou Yuyang army with outstanding military achievements was specially selected and brought out, there are ten thousand people who are not brave, after entering the palace, they were all the way to be promoted to one of the close guards of Emperor Liang, although for various reasons they are just ordinary Xiao cavalry guards, but they were given an exceptional name, and he guarded here on behalf of the emperor, in addition to further highlighting the emperor's favor for this new concubine, but also has the meaning of protection.

As the old saying goes, the most poisonous is not a woman's heart, between the harem, the intrigue between these women who are idle all day long and have all kinds of negative emotions is comparable to the party struggle above the court, this new concubine Li is said to be from the people, lonely, her mother's family has no power, and she is a simple and kind character, who is in the center of the political whirlpool of the entire Liang country, if it is too ostentatious, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the poisonous hands of other jealous women in the palace, so even if the emperor loves it a lot, but it can not be overly revealed.

It is still difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, so should he want the king of a country to beat these women one by one?

On the side of the carved bed in the center of the inner hall of Yongle Palace, there are two midwives who come to deliver today, both of whom are old people who have served the emperor's family for more than 30 years, and are deeply trusted by the emperor of the current dynasty.

The cruelty of the emperor's family affairs is no different from raising Gu, the current Emperor Liang's road to the throne itself is a history book that is about to overflow the smell of blood, he naturally knows the horror of these women in the harem who seem to have no real power, so he will try to take care of all parties in addition to handling government affairs, and think about this concubine everywhere.

Five palace maids, two midwives are busy with their heads down, making all preparations for the delivery, only one person is standing far away, that person is wearing a black gauze official hat, but it is different from the general official hat, less on both sides of the decorative hat wings, more red tassels, in the center is embedded with a whole piece of green jade produced in the South China Sea, obviously a very high status, and then look down, this person is about thirty years old, born with a white face and beard, like a woman's handsome appearance, lips red as blood as if coated with red rouge, eyebrows and eyes, staring at the people in the house, like an eagle traveling the world quickly, the cold eyes that seemed to be looking for prey made the palace maid who occasionally turned around to peek even a little stiff.

Look down, it is a python robe, you need to know that the emperor wears a dragon, and only a dynasty prince can afford a python robe, this person hands into the sleeves, the body bows slightly, showing respect for the owner of this place, this is not the prince, but the great eunuch of the dynasty, its real name has rarely been mentioned, only know the surname Han, but when the emperor was still the prince of a portable eunuch, play and grow up together, in the emperor of the dynasty on the road to power and after the cleaning of the court and the opposition, the emperor is of great help, so he has to give the python suit, if the dragon chair is the true dragon of the Son of Heaven, the first person in the world of rights, then he is the real one person under the ten thousand people。

All of this stems from his wisdom, or experience.

does not participate in party struggles, let alone participate in these intrigues in the harem, because he knows that it is powerful, rather than pleasing these favored concubines in the harem or those ministers in the outside world who seem to be in power, it is better to dress the emperor wholeheartedly.

There is a small horse guarding Jinglong outside, and there is a palm print eunuch Han Mink Temple inside, the emperor's prevention of the harem concubines is deep, and the importance and maintenance of this concubine can be seen.

And now lying on the bed, the favored Concubine Li didn't know the twists and turns, she only felt a burst of pain in her abdomen, the little guy who had been pregnant in her belly for ten months, and even the little guy who was usually not very honest seemed to be about to give birth.

It is a wonderful feeling that a small life that seems to have the same heart as oneself is about to fall from one's body and come to the world.

One of the two midwives was carefully wiping the sweat on Concubine Li's body, and the other was constantly talking, softly comforting the beauty on the bed.

"Mother, don't be in a hurry, take your time, you arch your legs first. ”

"Uh-huh, well。。。。。。 ”

The sharp pain in the mouth tugged at her nerves, and she could no longer utter a complete sentence, and the unborn child seemed to have drained all her strength, so that she could not even shout loudly.

Just when a palace maid walked to the side of the bed with a copper basin with hot water, Han Diao Temple seemed to move instantly, and stepped in front of the palace maid with a flash, and then turned around slightly, and with a slight pull, she was blocked behind her.

"Bang!"

The copper basin was unsupported, and it fell to the ground heavily, but the splash was blocked in front of the bed by an invisible force, and it did not even wet the curtain on the ground next to the bed.

"How。。。。。。 How...... ”

The poor man on the bed heard the noise, and opened his eyes slightly in fright, and looked at the emaciated figure that he had seen many times with eyes blurred with sweat and tears, and his pale lips squirmed lightly twice, and some indistinct syllables were uttered.

"Disturb the mother, damn it!" Han Diao Temple bowed slightly, his tone was lukewarm, his two hands were still behind his back, and he did not salute as usual.

"Imperial 。。。。。。 ”

Han Diao's cold and low voice was as emotionless as usual: "The emperor is on the way over, don't worry." ”

Seeing that Concubine Li obediently closed her eyes again, his handsome face like a woman was raised again: "I'm tired of the two mothers-in-law, take more thought, our family will delay for a while and confess." ”

Saying that, he hunched over, slowly retreated a few steps, then straightened up, turned around, and held the palace maid who had committed the crime in his hand, and he didn't know what means he used, the palace maid didn't say that he was struggling to move, and he couldn't even open his mouth, and the other four palace maids saw the movement, and they all stopped what they were doing, lying on the ground, trembling, but they all tried not to make a sound, for fear that one would accidentally end up like that.

Han Diao Temple didn't say anything more with a cold face, and his pale and slender right hand held a palace maid who was almost the same height as himself, and walked to the side of the hall like this.

The knuckles of his right hand moved slightly.

"Smack!"

The man's jaw was twisted and dislocated, and saliva suddenly flowed out weakly along the corners of his mouth, Han Diao Temple was not too dirty, his left hand stretched out again, bringing up a string of blood flowers and two teeth, the palace maid was forced to pull out two teeth, but she didn't even frown, although there was some panic in her eyes, but it was more indifferent to death.

"Our family knows that you are not afraid of death, but it has fallen into the hands of our family, and our family only hopes that you can hold on a little longer, after all, there have been no fresh animals in the harem for a long time. ”

Han Diao Temple smiled miserably, coupled with his little white face with enough powder, he really looked like a hellish ghost who climbed up from the underworld, and even the palace maid who originally seemed to be not afraid of death had a trace of fear in her eyes, as if she remembered some legends of the person in front of her, and suddenly couldn't calm down anymore.

"I'm still stunned what to do, continue to work. ”

Two black boots appeared in front of the palace maids, Han Mink Temple's ugly voice like a night crow mourning sounded, several palace maids stood up quickly like panicked rabbits, lowered their heads and passed through Han Mink Temple as quickly as a school of fish, the looming smell of blood almost made them weak women can't help but kneel on the ground and vomit, but everyone endured the nausea and fear in their hearts, and quickly ran to the side and started to work, and the palace maid who didn't know how to get in had disappeared forever in this Yongle Palace。
