Chapter 181: No More Drafts
After Li Ling did not agree to the establishment, she is no different from the queen in the palace now, but she is just a name, it is not so easy to be a queen, to be generous, to be virtuous, to be dignified.
Li Ling thinks that she is not a generous and virtuous person, and she doesn't want this queen's false name.
At the beginning of March, some courtiers put the draft on the agenda, and now the emperor's harem is empty, and there are few heirs, so the draft is inevitable.
Li Ling calculated, plus her and Concubine Jing, who had already stepped into Buddhism with half a foot, there were only eleven concubines in the harem, and there were only four princesses and two princes, and one of them was already crazy.
There are indeed few harem concubines and even fewer heirs.
Some of the heirs died on the Wanshou Festival the year before last, at the hands of King Zhennan and Concubine Xiao, and the other part died at the hands of the Zhao family.
Li Ling suddenly thought evilly, if Dong Qilin knew, would he stay away from women in the future?
It doesn't matter what Pear Ling thinks, what matters is the matter of this draft, Pear Ling doesn't care about such things that are not a good thing for her, so Pear Ling waved her hand and prepared to let Concubine Song and Zhang Xiuyi be in charge of the draft.
But before the pear could be arranged, Dong Qilin made a big event.
Dongqi Linli overrode the public opinion, and sent the three maidens and royal maids who had not been fortunate in the harem back to their homes directly, and were named the county monarch of Zhengqipin, and married separately.
Even the concubines who weren't lucky were sent home, let alone the draft.
Dong Qilin directly announced that he would not be drafted during his reign, and all the courtiers naturally held opposing opinions, with a lot of reasons, such as the fact that there are few concubines now, which is not conducive to the prosperity of heirs, such as few heirs, which is not conducive to the stability of the country, and so on......
Fewer concubines? Now there are eight concubines in the harem, compared to the families of some courtiers, there are not fewer women and fewer heirs? It's good that there are already two princes, and there are eight concubines, so it's not impossible to give birth......
In short, Dongqi is in the tongue to fight the ministers, and he will not be drafted for the rest of his life.
Dong Qilin became the only emperor in the history of the pardon country who was only selected three times.
When the news reached the harem, it was naturally a little happy and worried.
The joy is that there will be no newcomers entering the palace, and the worry is that their current life in the harem is the same whether there are newcomers entering the palace, there is no hope of pampering, and there are no heirs.
As for Liling, she was surprised, she really didn't expect Dong Qilin to do this, she thought that there were few heirs in the palace now, even if Dong Qilin was not a woman, but for the sake of the heirs, for the stability of the country, there would be a small-scale draft, who knew that he would announce that he would no longer draft in this life!
This brought a great surprise to Ri Ling's heart, no wonder Dong Qilin told her that night to let her have another son......
Thinking of that night, Liling's face was a little red.
Dong Qilin naturally can't be for someone else not to draft, it can only be because of her, Li Ling's heart is a little throbbing, and she is moved by Dong Qilin's love, especially now that there are few heirs in the harem, Dong Qilin's cancellation of the draft will inevitably be hindered in many ways, but Dong Qilin still chooses to take this difficult road.
Li Ling remembered what Dong Qilin said to her on the night of the Lantern Festival: "I am not a good emperor, nor a good husband, nor a good father, but from today on, I want to be a good husband, and you are the only one." ”
It turned out that from that time on, Dong Qilin felt that he was going to cancel the draft.
Li Ling pressed the throbbing in her heart, and decided that this time she was going to stand with Dong Qilin to reduce Dong Qilin's obstacles, Li Ling called Zhihe and Yang Yuan, and carefully ordered.
Just when Li Ling was moved by Dong Qilin's dedication, the Qinyao Hall of Lixiang Palace was not so harmonious.
Everyone knows that Dong Qilin's cancellation of the draft was done by Dong Qilin for the sake of Liling, and Wang Cairen naturally knows that his jealousy is beyond words.
Now in the harem, only she and Pear Ling are the oldest, but now Pear Ling is already the imperial concubine, and she is about to become the queen, but she is still a talented person, exactly the same as ten years ago, Pear Ling has two sons and a daughter, and one of her daughters has already become someone else's, why is it the same person with the longest qualifications in the harem, why is the same person who enters the palace, Pear Ling is only one level higher than her when she enters the palace, but now it has become a cloud and mud difference?
Wang Cai hated and hated the unfairness of fate.
But what can be done? Now that her Qinyao Palace is almost the same as the Cold Palace, she can only barely survive in the palace, and everything else is just delusional.
Wang Cairen was unwilling, but he couldn't do anything.
Soon, Wang Cairen became ill and had a heart disease.
In other words, most of the people in this harem are sick, envious and jealous but powerless, and there is no way to change this status quo, so they can only afford to be sick.
Yu Zhaorong was assigned to the imperial mausoleum, Meng Chongyuan became a monk, Wang Cairen was sick, and the remaining Liu Xiuyuan was a little uneasy.
I think she was also on the pear side, but since her cousin died, she was forced to go to the doctor in order to survive......
Liu Xiuyuan began to close the door, afraid that Li Ling would remember her and liquidate her.
Although there is no hope of being favored now, life in the palace is rich in clothes and food after all, and Liu Xiuyuan naturally refuses to give up such a life, so she can only try not to provoke Liling in order to live in peace.
Concubine Song and Zhang Xiuyi have always been interesting.
Concubine Song has four princesses, and she just wants to raise the four princesses well, as for the rest, she thinks it's just a matter of thinking about it, who made the emperor take a fancy to the imperial concubine? Although she is beautiful, the emperor is not a person with heavy colors, and the imperial concubine is also good-looking.
That's it, that's all for this life.
In April, news came from Huangzhuang that Concubine Yixian was seriously ill.
Concubine Yixian was drugged by Concubine Xiao at the beginning, although she was stopped by Liling in time, she still injured her body, and was pushed into the water by the eldest princess last year, and the root of the disease fell.
Repeated illnesses, so Concubine Yixian has been staying in the Huangzhuang and has not returned to the palace, and more than half a year has passed, and Concubine Yixian's illness has not recovered.
In April, it was said that Concubine Yixian was seriously ill, and I was afraid that time was running out.
Li Ling originally wanted to go to Huangzhuang to see Concubine Yixian, after all, she also had so many years of friendship, although Concubine Yixian's temperament changed a little later, but now Concubine Yixian is going to die, Li Ling feels that it is reasonable, she should go to Huangzhuang.
But Li Ling was stopped by Dong Qilin.
"I know that you and Concubine Yixian have always had a good relationship, but Concubine Yixian has been sick for some days, and I am afraid that she will be sick for you." Dong Qilin explained.
"The concubine just wants to see her, and she doesn't stay with her all day, where is it so serious!" Pear Ling smiled, she was not a child of a few years old, where could she be so fragile.
"Although you want to go and see her, she may not want to see you, and if her condition is aggravated or you break up unhappily, I am afraid that you will feel sad." Dong Qilin was silent for a while, and then said the reason why he really didn't want to go to Liling.
Li Ling was stunned for a moment, it was indeed true, she only wanted to see Concubine Yixian for the last time, but she didn't think about what if Concubine Yixian didn't want to see her? After all, Concubine Yixian is riddled with old illnesses, and her time is running out, but she is alive and well, even better than before, she went to see Concubine Yixian, didn't that stimulate Concubine Yixian?
In this way, Li Ling also stopped thinking about going to see Concubine Yixian.
