The cliques in the harem and the court are different in each camp. They are better at making appearances, and you don’t even know who is your friend and who is your enemy. You think you have a deep friendship with her, but she will kill you at any time.
There is no chance for defense. Sometimes they are obviously enemies, but they will take advantage of each other at the right time and give each other a hand.
This is the harem, and this is the intricate interpersonal and power relationship.
The harem is closely related to the previous dynasty. For example, it seems that establishing a prince is the emperor's idea alone. In fact, this matter is closely related to the power of the harem.
Several important concubines in the harem relied on their natal families, and their natal families happened to be the six most powerful families in the court.
Every move of the six major families can affect many of the emperor's decisions, even who to appoint as the crown prince.
In her previous life, after she became the seventh princess, she went in and out of the palace countless times in order to establish good relations with the empresses in the palace. She also knew the temperaments of each empress very well, and even some secrets in the palace that others did not know...
…
She helped Long Qijin's mother-in-law An Fei ascend to the position of imperial concubine, second only to the queen.
The queen had no children, and with Concubine An becoming more powerful, she had no choice but to ask her natal family—the Taiwei Mansion and the Ouyang family—to abandon other ideas and support Long Qijin.
Among the new generation of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Xiu is Guan Jian...
Ouyang Xiu...
Dongfang Lian felt heartbroken when he thought of the man who led troops into the palace to save himself and was beheaded at the Meridian Gate without even a place to be buried.

The Hundred Flowers Festival was held in the beautiful Imperial Garden of Huangguo Palace.
Now is the best time.
The flowers are in full bloom in various shapes, so the name "Flower Festival" is very suitable for the occasion.
All ladies and gentlemen, along with their ladies and sons, have already arrived.
Since the queen personally presided over it, no one dared to neglect it. The current queen has no children, but this does not affect the status of the queen Ouyang Jing at all.
Most of the land of today's Huang Kingdom was built by her three princes with their lives and blood. She is undoubtedly the greatest contributor to the Huang Kingdom, and even Emperor Long Hong respects her very much.
Over the years, no matter how many concubines the emperor had or how many beautiful women he had newly married, he would always go to the queen's palace every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month to declare to everyone the queen's solid status.
…
There are many stone tables and chairs in the Imperial Garden, all of which were built by the most skilled carvers in the world.
As soon as these noble ladies and young ladies entered the garden, they each found the people they often interacted with, and sat down in small groups around the stone table. While keeping in touch with each other, they also inquired about anything noteworthy in each house.
.
Each of these women was dressed up in expensive, charming or beautiful clothes, with their hair covered with pearls and silks and silks. Their bodies were even sprayed with fragrant powder, making them all smell good.
In his previous life, Dongfang Lian dealt with these women every day, and some of them knew their personalities very well.
Her eyes were searching for something, until she finally found that figure that made her feel at ease...
Ouyang Xiu!
He was wearing a good-quality Su Jin, his figure was upright, indescribably ethereal, his temperament was elegant, handsome, his appearance was like jade, his facial features were flawless, making it impossible to find any flaws.
Unlike many men who like to tie their hair up high and secure it with a crown, he did not tie his hair. He only tied his long hair loosely with a silver hairband.
