Concubine Zhao was very favored by the first emperor, and her status in the harem was second only to the queen.

Of course, the first emperor did not marry a few concubines in total, and now only Concubine Zhao is alive.

Wei Cheng, who is still in the palace, is Concubine Zhao's biological daughter. And the fifteen-year-old boy with Concubine Zhao with him, named Wei Li, is currently the last prince left in the Wei family.

At the beginning, the queen didn't have much milk, but Concubine Zhao gave her a big milk to Wei Qing, and it was because of this that Wei Qing was so close to her.

Returning to the capital, Wei Qing held a grand welcome ceremony, and personally canonized Concubine Zhao as the empress dowager at the ceremony.

However, out of the experience of He Chengyun, Wei Qing deliberately kept an eye on it, and did not give any power to Concubine Zhao and Wei Li, but only gave the mother and son some false names, and rewarded them with a lot of money for them to live.

After the grand welcome banquet that day, Wei Qing drank some wine and left drunk.

And Wei Li followed Concubine Zhao back to the palace, and said happily: "Mother, the imperial brother is so kind to us, fortunately we came back alive."

Originally, he was emotional, but he didn't expect Concubine Zhao to reply with compassion: "Give you this reward, and you will be satisfied?"

Wei Li was not very old after all, and when he heard his mother's tone was wrong, he shrunk his neck and looked a little scared.

Concubine Zhao stared at him and said in a deep voice, "Look at this palace, look at the prosperous capital, and then look at the huge world, all of which are owned by the emperor. He didn't even give you a single official position, are you so happy?"

Wei Li lowered his head and didn't dare to respond, his body trembling a little because of fear.

At this moment, Concubine Zhao, who had a gloomy face, suddenly changed her face and said with a smile: "Okay, let's come back on the first day, you go and have a good rest first."

"Yes, Mother, you can rest well." Wei Li fled as if he were gone.

After being away for so long, although he was a little unfamiliar with the palace, he still remembered where he lived.

As soon as this kid left, a sneaky figure came in outside Concubine Zhao's bedroom. This person is slender and dressed as a eunuch, and he is one of the attendants who followed Concubine Zhao back to the palace from the palace!

This person used to be an errand boy in the palace and was Concubine Zhao's personal eunuch. Later, Concubine Zhao was arrested and taken to the Beishan Palace, and he always followed.

As soon as he came in, he hugged Concubine Zhao's plump body, and his hands were not honest.

"Niangniang, this palace is full of your fragrance." The young eunuch's eyes were full of desire.

Obviously, his identity as a eunuch is not real.

"Don't be in a hurry." Concubine Zhao snorted, let the other party hold her, and just whispered, "Do you remember our oath?"

"Of course remember, if we come back alive, we will let Li'er sit on the throne!"

"Just remember." Concubine Zhao snorted and said amorously, "Remember, Li'er is your species, and you, as a father, have to help him well."

"Of course." The young eunuch couldn't stand it anymore, so he directly picked up Concubine Zhao, and the two got into bed entangled.

In the palace, there is only a piece of spring left.

……

In the afternoon of the next day, Wei Qing was watching the concert when Wei Li suddenly came from outside.

"Brother Huang." He shouted timidly.

"What's wrong?" Wei Qing looked up.

"The minister has been away for so long, and now that he has returned to the palace, he wants to help the imperial brother share some affairs when he sees that the imperial brother is tired, and the imperial brother has a lot of rest!" Wei Li said.

Wei Qing understood as soon as he heard it, this was looking for himself to ask for an official position.

After thinking about it, Wei Li's temperament is loyal and honest, and he is a good child. If you can cultivate it, you may be able to help yourself in the future.

So she wrote the holy decree and said, "Li'er, from today onwards, you will be the official of the Ministry of Rites, and you will learn more from those great Confucians in the Ministry of Rites, and I am looking forward to your performance."

Wei Li was overjoyed and thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Huang, Li'er will definitely live up to Brother Huang's expectations!"

After receiving the holy decree, he happily returned to the palace and said to Concubine Zhao, "Mother, the imperial brother has given me an official position, and I can do it in the future

Southern Wei service!"

He went to ask for an official position today, obviously at the behest of Concubine Zhao.

Concubine Zhao took the holy decree and glanced at it, then threw it to the side, and snorted coldly, "From the five grades of the main and guest division? It's too low, but you're his brother, and he doesn't trust you so much?"

Wei Li was poured cold water, and his face was suddenly full of loss.

"Okay, okay, since you have an official position, then you can do it well." Concubine Zhao waved her hand.

"Okay, my son will retire." Wei Li then retreated, and went to find someone from the Ministry of Rites.

As soon as he left, the young eunuch entered Concubine Zhao's dormitory last night.

"Niangniang, I went to contact today, and those old friends from before are all here."

Concubine Zhao was overjoyed when she heard this, as a noble concubine in the palace, coupled with a prominent family background, she also had a lot of power in the court at the beginning. Now it seems that her family's power has not dispersed!

The eunuch looked embarrassed, and then said, "But ......."

"But what?"

"I heard from them that some time ago, the new prime minister took the throne and cleaned up in the palace. So, they don't dare to mess around now."

"The new prime minister?" Concubine Zhao was stunned, took the information written by the eunuch and took a look at it, only then did she realize that during her absence, the forces in the court had undergone drastic changes.

Liu Cheng and Cao Shan are gone, and now the court is a prime minister surnamed Shen who holds great power......

"That's interesting, but no matter how much he cleans it, he can't clean up the people of the old dynasty in such a short period of time, right?" Concubine Zhao sneered.

"So what do we do now?" The eunuch asked.

"Temptation first." Concubine Zhao said, then got up and walked out, muttering, "Autumn is the hunting season, and Your Majesty should also go out for activities."

The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then showed a knowing smile.

"Mother, good way!"

Concubine Zhao went to the Heart Cultivation Palace, but in half a day, Wei Qing issued a holy decree, saying that she wanted the Beiyu Army to choose someone to accompany her to hunt in the mountains.

In fact, she doesn't like hunting, but the Southern Wei Dynasty is still martial, and the annual safari is a must-have activity for the royal family.

Concubine Zhao brought up this matter, and she could only agree.

As a result, a selection began in the Northern Command Army.

Of course, Wei Qing didn't know at this time that this was far more than just a safari......
