This time, the Ding family made a mistake and was suppressed, so they didn't dare to say a word. The Empress Dowager Chen saw that the emperor's biological mother didn't dare to say a word, so she naturally didn't dare to say a word either. The Empress Dowager Cui saw that the other two families didn't say anything, so she was afraid that she would be the only one. If he squeaked, he would definitely annoy the emperor and alienate his family, so he didn't squeak either.
So this time, the emperor wanted to make the woman he liked as his concubine, and he finally succeeded. You must know that before, whichever woman the emperor liked, he couldn't make him a concubine. There was no way. The three mountains in the harem were the emperor, and so on. It's a bit difficult to deal with.
Now that he has lost his mother-in-law, who is the most difficult to deal with, it is much easier to do things. This makes the emperor feel that Concubine Ding's move this time is a good time for him, allowing him to successfully suppress the Ding family. A meritorious minister!
Of course, no matter how successful she was, he would not release her from the cold palace and continue to interfere in his own affairs.
Seeing that Concubine Ding fell and Concubine Yue became more and more favored, Empress Dowager Ding and the Ding family naturally hated her to death. However, they had offended the emperor and did not dare to continue targeting Concubine Yue. They could not send girls from the Ding family into the palace because they had offended the emperor. The emperor still hates the Ding family and doesn't want girls from the Ding family at all. They have no choice but to look forward to the triennial draft coming soon, and then select a group of new people to enter the palace to see if they can overpower Yue Fei. Even if it's not a girl from their Ding family, as long as someone else can take away Concubine Yue's favor and vent their anger for them, it's not bad, because they hate Concubine Yue for betraying them.
Yes, the triennial draft is coming again.
Although the emperor liked Yue Fei, he did not stop the draft.
As for beauties, the more the merrier.
When he first came to the throne, he wanted to draft a draft, but Queen Mother Ding and others tried their best to stop it because they wanted the girls from their natal family to get pregnant first, so as not to have a lot of beauties come in from the draft. The emperor's heart was with those beauties, not those from their natal family. What to do with the girl?
So I tried my best to stop it.
Of course, it was useless for them to stop it, but their natal family members were officials in the previous dynasty. They, together with the thugs who fawned over them, caused the emperor to want to draft a draft, but a bunch of ministers opposed it.
Since a lot of ministers objected and the emperor had just ascended the throne and did not have much power, he had no choice but to agree.
But later, Concubine Ding gave birth to several children and all of them died, and there was no movement after that. The emperor only had one son and one daughter, which were too few. The emperor who wanted to draft a draft encouraged people who were loyal to him to mention the draft, saying It was for the sake of the royal heirs, so it was successful three years ago.
Therefore, despite the objections of Ding, Chen, and Cui, the draft was held last time because it was the emperor's will. Otherwise, Ding, Chen, and Cui would definitely not agree to the emperor's draft.
The last time the emperor wanted to draft a draft, it was successful. Not to mention, this time the Ding family kept silent. It would be easier for the emperor to draft a draft.
This time, they gave grace to the girls of the third-grade and above senior officials' families, allowing them to recommend one girl to run for election. Of course, if they want all the girls to run for the election, that's fine, as long as they can be selected.
But generally speaking, except for those who are crazy, most people will not send their daughters to the palace. After all, they are already third-rank officials. It is not good for their daughters to marry anyone. Send them to the palace to remain a widow. Is it stupid?
After all, who can guarantee that his daughter will be favored when she enters the palace, and then she will give birth to a prince, and will go further in the future.
If there is no guarantee, it is better for the daughter not to enter the palace, and it would be more cost-effective to marry into another family.
Therefore, the emperor felt that it was a grace to allow girls from the families of high-ranking officials above the third rank to enter the palace, but for these high-ranking officials, they did not think it was a favor.
Anyway, the new draft is here again.
But judging from the original memory, no one was favored this time. The person who was favored was Concubine Yue.
Therefore, it is useless for Queen Mother Ding and others to place high hopes on this draft event.
Under the current circumstances, to be honest, no concubine can beat Yue Fei. She is both beautiful and capable. She has many tricks in bed and can seduce the emperor steadily. How can others fight her?
This situation will not change until Concubine Yue is favored for ten years.
Of course, the reason why she fell out of favor by then was not because Yue Fei was old or ugly. After all, even ten years later, Yue Fei was only in her twenties, so she couldn't be called old or ugly.
It can only be said that the emperor was tired of it.
Just like delicacies from mountains and seas are delicious, but who can eat them every day for ten years? After eating for a long time, you will get tired of them. This is normal.
At first, the emperor just occasionally got tired of it and looked for other beauties, just like a person who eats too much of a certain dish and eats other dishes.
But as time passed, the emperor became really tired of it and was no longer interested in Concubine Yue.
Of course, maybe it's because the emperor found his soul mate.
As a human being, we have the need to chat with others.
However, although Concubine Yue was good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, had a lot of tricks in bed, and was pretty, the emperor just couldn't talk to her. All his liking was related to that aspect, and there was no soul communication with her.
But spiritual communication is not something you can just meet if you want to. After all, beauty is easy to come by, but it is rare to have soul resonance with others.
If you are an ordinary person, you may not be able to meet him in your lifetime, but the emperor is the lord of the world. He is rich all over the world. There is a show every three years, and there are so many maids entering the palace every year. As time goes by, he can always meet the soul. companion.
The other person does not have to be very beautiful, but it must be the person who the emperor has the most to talk to.
Ten years later, such a person appeared. How could Concubine Yue defeat such a person? After all, the emperor had something to talk to the other party and had nothing to talk to her.
But that's all for the future. Let's just talk about the present. In the new round of draft, another 20 or 30 new players will come in.
Naturally, the palace became lively again. Of course, in order to compete for favor, the palace also became chaotic.
However, these have nothing to do with Linlang. She still maintains her previous relationship with the emperor. She doesn't care whether other people are favored or not, as long as they don't target her.
And since she is not favored and has no children, most people will not target her, allowing her to continue to live a comfortable life.
At this time, Li Fangrui gave birth to her second son.
Don’t forget, she gave birth to five sons and two daughters. She gave birth to so many children at a rate of almost one every two years and two in three years.
In this case, it is normal to give birth again now.
After her confinement, she took her son into the palace as usual to show Empress Dowager Chen and Dowager Wang their grandson.
The princess was naturally happy and rewarded her with many things.
But Empress Dowager Chen, as her direct grandmother, just symbolically gave her child a longevity lock. It was not gold but silver. It was so cheap that Li Fangrui couldn't help but feel angry.
She completely forgot that she was the first to do the first grade of junior high school, and others did the fifteenth grade. She forgot to take care of the child, only saw the princess, and did not give the Queen Mother Chen a gift. She offended the Queen Mother Chen, and only felt that the Queen Mother Chen gave it to her. The lack of stuff is annoying.
