Chapter 238 Concubine Zhou
In accordance with the fate of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: Today there is Lu Xige of Dongyang County, who has a quiet and gentle appearance, a Shushen nature, and Rou Jiawei... He was named the princess of the princess, given the title of Huaiping, and was given the opportunity to live in Yiyuan because of his father. Lu Yuanshan... therefore granted the fiefdoms of Huaicheng, Dongyang County, and Nanyang County...
It had only been a few days since the King of Qin established his palace, and the palace issued an order to make Lu Shege the Princess of Huaiping.
Who is this Lu Xiuge?
The daughter of Empress Shen's biological sister heard that her family was in trouble, and she had just been found after living abroad for several years.
"Why."
Concubine Zhou reached out and swept down the vase beside her, her hands and feet shaking with anger.
Why should a wild girl found outside become a princess and still enjoy the land?
Just because she is Empress Shen’s mother-in-law?
Ever since the emperor rested in Jiaofang Hall on New Year's Eve for several nights in a row, Concubine Zhou had a bad feeling in her heart.
Something happened at the Lantern Festival, and Concubine Zhou was secretly happy.
If it weren't for the Yongyi Hou family, why would the Shen family be able to ascend to the lower rank?
What she didn't expect was that when the matter was so serious, the emperor would pick it up high and put it down gently.
He just asked Ning Yuanhou to guard the border.
That Song Yunfei injured an arm and was promoted.
They are all members of the Song family, especially Song Yunfei from the Yongyi Hou Mansion. All he needs is to kneel down and lick Queen Shen and become her son.
But the emperor liked him so much that he didn't even pay attention to the prince of Yongyi Hou Mansion. He only liked Song Yunfei, who was said to have been raised by Empress Shen.
All this shows that what Chen Quan still misses most is his rotten wife.
The vows made to her back then were all bullshit.
Bullshit.
The more Concubine Zhou thought about it, the angrier she became. The angrier she became, the more she couldn't control her emotions. She even smashed everything in the bedroom that could be smashed.
The eunuchs and maids outside knelt on the ground, and no one dared to step forward to stop him.
Just a month ago, because His Majesty was resting in Jiaofang Hall, the Imperial Concubine lost her temper and smashed things. Aunt Song and Pearl stepped forward to stop them. After being injured by the Imperial Concubine and sent out of the palace, no one in the palace dared to do so. Stop the imperial concubine.
Jade, who was serving the imperial concubine with Pearl, took a peek at the newly arrived Nanny Li, and then lowered her head silently.
She still remembered the scene when she had just been assigned to the imperial concubine. Both she and Aunt Pearl Song felt happy.
At that time, Concubine Zhou had not yet been granted the title of imperial concubine, so she was a very likely candidate to be granted the title of empress.
If they can follow Concubine Zhou, they will definitely walk sideways throughout the palace in the future.
Unexpectedly, the success fell short, and Empress Shen took the Empress Dowager to Beijing in advance without waiting for the emperor to pick her up, catching Concubine Zhou off guard.
Later, even Concubine Zhou didn't understand why the queen position that she was about to get was gone.
The reason the emperor gave her was that the Queen Mother only recognized the Shen family.
Over the years, the Queen Mother has been served by Shen in the countryside, so she naturally has a deep affection for her. If he does not make Shen his queen, the Queen Mother will say that she will not be the Queen Mother and will take Shen back to the countryside.
In addition, with the support of a group of upstarts from the Great Shang Dynasty, Shen became the queen of the Great Shang Dynasty.
Although Concubine Zhou was helpless, she reluctantly accepted this reality.
She has a son, and her son was born and raised next to the emperor. The relationship between father and son is naturally different.
What's the use of having three sons born to Mr. Shen? The two most useful ones died, leaving a sick son who didn't know how long he could survive.
Sure enough, in these years, the third prince has been recuperating away from home. After coming back years ago, His Majesty not only did not establish a prince, but also made the third prince, who was not yet married, a king and left the palace to establish a mansion.
He was granted the title of king, but no land or rewards were given. He was only given an empty palace.
The already weak prince refused to marry him and gave birth to a son early, which shows the importance of this prince in the emperor's heart.
Over the years, Concubine Zhou was actually quite satisfied. The only thing she was dissatisfied about was that she did not ascend to the throne.
However, as long as her son can become the crown prince and be crowned a great treasure, she doesn't care who is the queen now.
But since New Year's Eve, after the emperor rested at Empress Shen's place for several nights in a row, he went to Empress Shen every now and then.
Concubine Zhou couldn't bear this.
Although Empress Shen gave birth to three sons and was no longer in her prime, she was still pretty.
If Empress Shen has one or two more sons, even Concubine Zhou cannot guarantee that her fourth prince will be able to compare with Empress Shen's future sons.
Everyone has a son, and she is very confident now, but it's just because the third prince is weak and cannot be used seriously.
But what if Empress Shen gave birth to fifth and sixth princes? Could it be that all of them are sick and weak, and all of them are unworthy of their importance?
Empress Shen's first two sons were both literary and military, but they were very popular among those who followed the emperor to conquer the world.
The fourth prince is only four years old now. If Empress Shen gives birth to another son, he will be a few years younger than the fourth prince.
It’s really not certain who will win when the time comes.
Concubine Zhou Guifei was tortured by these thoughts these days, and she was exhausted physically and mentally.
Now that she heard that Empress Shen's sister's daughter could be named a princess and have a fiefdom, and this fiefdom even included Huaicheng, she had to become suspicious.
Huaicheng is the ancestral land of her Zhou clan.
"No, I want to go find the emperor."
Concubine Zhou stepped on the debris on the ground and ran out frantically.
When Jade saw the imperial concubine rushing out, muttering about the emperor, she knew something was wrong.
At the risk of her life, she stepped forward and hugged Concubine Zhou's waist, crying: "Your Majesty, the fourth prince is coming soon. The fourth prince also said that he would have lunch with his wife."
I don't know if it was because I was tired or because I heard the words "fourth prince".
Concubine Zhou stopped struggling and looked hesitantly at the maids and eunuchs kneeling in front of her.
At this moment, her mind became slightly clearer.
Yes, she promised the fourth prince yesterday that she would accompany him to dinner today.
Thinking of the fourth prince whom she loved like a treasure, Concubine Zhou exhaled softly and ordered tiredly: "Go and clean it up, Feicui, you go and see the fourth prince and ask him to come over later."
The bedroom was in a mess, and she was afraid of scaring her prince.
Seeing that Concubine Zhou was no longer mad, all the maids and eunuchs in Yuhua Palace felt that they had escaped the disaster and hurriedly got up to clean up.
Even Deng Wuwei, who had been following the news about Yuhua Palace, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
This noble concubine has become more and more ignorant in the past six months. The bedroom of Yuhua Palace has been smashed by her three times.
I heard that this time, everything in the dormitory was smashed to pieces.
Deng Wuwei couldn't help but have a headache. If other concubines dared to do this, he could let her live in such a palace until he could make up for it.
But not Concubine Zhou, she is His Majesty's favorite concubine.
Although His Majesty seems to favor Empress Shen more this year, Concubine Zhou is not neglected either.
As a great eunuch, he naturally could not cause trouble to the emperor because of Concubine Zhou's matter.
Forget it, let’s find a way to rearrange Concubine Zhou’s Yuhua Palace.
However, since Concubine Zhou likes to smash things so much, she should give away less precious and rare things.
You won’t feel too bad if you pick something.
