Chapter 119 Why are there so many people like this around the emperor?
The system has been upgraded and the distance for eating melons has been reduced to twenty steps. The advantage of this is that the concubines who can attend are all ranked within twenty steps.
She could eat all their melons, big and small, without any effort.
[Should we start with Concubine Shu first? What if the eldest son who gets the most favor is not his biological son? That would be very interesting.]
[Then the emperor can exchange experiences with the old scumbag about raising other people's sons.]
Lu Jinchuan's blood instantly boiled when she called him an old scumbag, and all eyes in the hall fell on him almost instantly.
Even the emperor became interested and wanted to know which son the other person was.
Pei allowed others to look at her in a relaxed manner. Ever since she let go of her pride and no longer had to care about the Lu family's reputation, her life suddenly became lighter.
Anyway, she wasn't the one raising someone else's son.
Lu Jinchuan almost bit off his loose old teeth. He was now just glad that Zhou Hanwen and his son had already set off!
After hearing what was going on, Song Junhe kept winking at Concubine Shu, hoping that she would receive the reminder and quickly find an excuse to leave the hall.
But the fact that they can hear people's voices is something they cannot mention to those who cannot hear them.
He tried several times to remind Concubine Shu to stay as far away from Lu Xinran as possible, but it didn't work no matter what method he used.
So no matter how he winked at this moment, Concubine Shu looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he was trying to imply.
[Hey, this concubine seems to be not aggressive or competitive in the harem, but her methods are shady and secretive. ]
[Back then, she and Concubine Hua were both pregnant, and both wanted to give birth to a firstborn son. However, Concubine Hua's due date was earlier than hers, and she was afraid that Concubine Hua would steal her limelight, so she bribed the imperial physician to poison Concubine Hua's pregnancy-preserving medicine.]
[Caused Concubine Hua to have a miscarriage when she was five months pregnant, and gave birth to a fully formed baby boy. Seriously speaking, that was the Emperor's eldest son.]
The concubines behind the emperor and empress could not hear what was going on and did not know what was happening, but the third prince, who was the son of Concubine Hua, heard everything.
He clenched his fists tightly and looked at Song Junhe and Shufei with a murderous look.
[The imperial physician who helped Concubine Hua with her pregnancy was the father of Concubine Shu's childhood sweetheart. That sweetheart had always been in love with her and would do anything for her that would go against the law.]
[Before, Concubine Chen dared to do anything in the harem. It was Concubine Shu who instigated her from behind. Taking advantage of the emperor's favoritism, Concubine Chen killed all the people she disliked.]
Lu Xinran had already closed the booklet. Concubine Shu's viciousness and cruelty made her feel cold down her spine.
[Too scary. With a mother like this and a father like that, how scary must the eldest prince be? ]
She glanced sympathetically in the direction of Song Junyan.
[When the eldest prince ascends the throne, he will have more than twenty, no, maybe more than thirty by then. Will he kill all of these brothers? ]
[Even if he didn't have this intention, his mother would help him and tell him that if you don't remove the roots, they will grow again! ]
Song Junhe: "..."
No, stop talking, he is not that kind of person, really not!
The emperor's cold gaze swept over like a knife, and the concubine behind him, who knew nothing about it, was pulling at her handkerchief out of boredom.
Qi Yu lowered his head and drank. He had already heard about all the secret affairs in the palace in the capital.
But this was the first time he heard this so directly, and it made him feel even more distressed about the Queen's situation.
Lu Xinran sighed and his eyes immediately fell on the second prince.
The hairs on the back of Second Prince Song Junsheng stood up. His mother... must really be a person who does not want to compete with others!
His three perspectives had been shattered by Concubine Shu, and now he dared not think too much.
But Lu Xinran's gaze shifted away from him in just a moment and fell on the third prince beside him.
[I want to see how Concubine Hua is doing. She was able to get pregnant so quickly after losing her eldest son. She must have some extraordinary skills.]
The third prince: "..."
No, you don’t want to see these. Otherwise, you can just take a look at your father’s private affairs.
The emperor glanced at Concubine Shu and Concubine Hua behind him, and when he turned around, his eyes passed over the queen again.
The queen has kept her head down and eyes closed since she arrived at the hall, as if she doesn't care much about the hustle and bustle in the hall.
He wanted to ask her whether she knew about the past, why she didn't care about what Concubine Shu did in the harem, and whether she still had the awareness of being the queen and the mother of the country and managing the harem.
Not far below, Zhang Yongping looked at his absent-minded daughter, then at the emperor with a bad look, and felt worried again.
Every time something happened in the harem, the queen was always the one to be blamed.
[I knew that Concubine Hua was not an easy person to deal with, but she was not as vicious and cruel as Concubine Shu. She was just particularly unruly and did not treat servants as human beings.]
[Whenever she was in a bad mood, she would vent her anger on the palace servants. Making people kneel for an entire afternoon or an entire night was considered the mildest punishment in her palace.
[In the entire harem, the number of palace maids replaced the most was in her palace, and the dry well closest to her palace also had the most corpses.]
Lu Xinran looked at the booklet with a speechless look, why are there so many people like this around the emperor?
[Is this the way people are divided into groups? Are all the bad people around bad people? ]
[Otherwise, if he had a little bit of brains, and was not blind, he would have seen everything that happened in the harem.]
[He actually has the nerve to despise the Queen! ]
[He doesn't give the queen any respect at all. None of the concubines take her seriously and they all step on her. The queen only has an empty title. How can she manage these vicious and cruel people? ]
[What's the difference between this and giving you ten cents a month to spend, and requiring you to have fish and meat every meal, to be well fed and clothed, and then saving one or two taels of silver at the end of the year.]
Lu Xinran found that he got angry every time he ate the melons the emperor gave to his concubines.
Seeing a group of bad guys showing off their power, and then acting like "I just like watching you dislike me but can't get rid of me", any normal person would doubt his worldview.
[Forget it, forget it. I'd better not watch it. Otherwise, it will be full of this kind of scum, making people doubt whether there are any decent people in this capital. ]
[Besides, the emperor has a large family and a lot of wealth, so he certainly wouldn't mind raising a few sons.]
emperor:"……"
No, he does mind.
Even if Lu Xinran doesn't look at it, he will have someone conduct a thorough check of the harem starting tomorrow!
[By the way, the Emperor wants to grant General Qi a marriage! Let me see which girl he wants.]
As she was about to change tracks, she just opened the booklet and saw the words on it shattered into stars in the sky.
She looked up in confusion and found that the emperor had left the hall at some point.
How stingy!
How could it be such a coincidence?
While she was confused, her sympathetic gaze fell on Qi Yu and Song Junyan.
One was not tolerated by the emperor, and the other was not tolerated by his brother.
Alas, it is true that everyone is destined to die. Either you die today or tomorrow.
Song Junyan lowered his head and drank with a skilled expression.
Qi Yu sat upright, the villain in his heart already frowning and squinting at his phone, what the hell... is this mess.
