But King Qi didn't know that Li Fangrui's child would be the emperor in the future. After listening to Li Fangrui's words, he couldn't help but get angry. He thought about why this woman was like this. She didn't look down on a reward of several thousand taels. She was a prodigal woman, so He said: "Don't do that in front of the Queen Mother in the future, otherwise you will not enter the palace in the future. I don't want you to bring trouble to the family."
Even if Empress Dowager Chen does not have a high status in the palace, she is not something that an idle prince who is not close to the emperor can offend.
After hearing what King Qi said, Li Fangrui couldn't help but look ugly, thinking that this cheap husband was really annoying. Fortunately, he died earlier than the emperor, otherwise the throne would not have been passed to his family - the emperor's line was broken, and he had to choose someone to inherit the throne. , the selection criteria at that time was that the father had disappeared from the clan, and King Qi’s son happened to fit the criteria, so he successfully entered the palace and became the emperor.
But he said that because of the threat from King Qi, Li Fangrui did not dare to embarrass Empress Dowager Chen when she entered the palace.
But she had already offended the Queen Mother Chen, who basically disappeared from her later on. This naturally made Li Fangrui even more angry, thinking that when she became the Queen Mother, she would definitely clean up the Chen family and the Queen Mother Chen.
At this time, Queen Mother Cui finally passed away because of her old age.
The death of Empress Dowager Cui was obviously a blow to Concubine Cui. After all, her backer in the palace was gone.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law has military power, so she can still live in the palace and will not be dealt with by the emperor. Otherwise, if she has no backer, the emperor will definitely give her the concubine position. After all, the emperor does not like her, and then She had harmed his concubine before, but the emperor had written it down in his notebook, but she didn't have an attack at the time.
Although she can still live a life, without the Queen Mother Cui, Concubine Cui has obviously lost a lot of status in the palace. After all, no matter how powerful her mother's family is, they can't control the palace - there is no way, I Although the dynasty did not particularly value civility over military affairs, the power of military commanders was not very great, not to the level of powerful ministers, so it could not affect the palace.
Because her backer in the palace has fallen, Concubine Cui has become much more low-key recently.
As for Concubine Chen, because Empress Dowager Chen did not have the highest status in the palace, Concubine Chen had never been very high-profile.
Concubine Cui and Concubine Chen have become low-profile, Concubine Ding has been relegated to the cold palace, so only Concubine Yue is high-profile in the palace.
It was difficult for her not to be high-profile, because at this time, the emperor had not yet ignored her, and she was at the peak of the limelight. If she didn't want to be high-profile, others would ask her to be high-profile - I don't know how many low-ranking concubines fawned over her.
Now Empress Dowager Cui is gone in the palace, the Ding family has fallen, Empress Dowager Chen is not close to the emperor, and the three mountains have almost collapsed. It is precisely because there are no tigers in the mountains, and when the monkey comes to claim the king, there are no mountains to press down in the palace. It is equivalent to a group of dragons without a leader. This situation cannot last forever, and new mountains will appear soon.
But now it seems that Concubine Yue certainly deserves the honor on this mountaintop.
After all, she is very favored now. If she is not the boss in the palace, who should be?
Even Queen Mother Chen doesn’t dare to do anything to Concubine Yue now.
Because Concubine Yue is currently the highest-ranking person in the palace, she naturally becomes the new leader in the palace.
So although she was just a concubine, she became the boss in the palace like a queen.
The emperor didn't say anything to this situation. After all, he was doting on Concubine Yue now. Concubine Yue had the highest status in the palace, so he would naturally not object. After all, in the past, whoever he favored should be the concubine in the palace. The most noble existence, but because of the three families of Ding, Chen, and Cui, the woman he loved could not be the boss in the palace. This was actually a slap in his face. He was already unhappy, so now Yue Fei Naturally, he has no objection to being the boss in the palace. After all, in his opinion, whoever he favors should be the one with the most status in the palace. If the person he favors is not the most status in the palace, then They are all slapping him in the face, so he will naturally be unhappy.
In fact, this is a power struggle in the palace, but it is not a fight between concubines, but a fight between the emperor and the queen mothers.
Now, the emperor obviously won the fight because of his youth.
But the emperor certainly didn't know that if no one helped him, he would have passed away in less than ten years. Then after that little transparent prince came to the throne, he would not be around for long, and finally it was Li Fangrui's son who came to the throne.
But in this world, after careful consideration, Linlang decided to help the emperor and extend his life.
After all, for her, being the emperor's concubine is definitely better than being a concubine after the emperor dies.
If you are a concubine, no one will take you seriously; but if you are the emperor's concubine, as long as the emperor treats her well, her life will not be difficult and she will have a certain status in the palace.
And if the emperor dies and she becomes a concubine, even if she uses the Dream Talisman to weave dreams for the new emperor and her life becomes a little better, she still won’t be able to improve her status in the palace, because after the emperor dies, she becomes a concubine. , she is just a widow who has to live in the Ci'en Palace with everyone else. She cannot have an independent palace like now, and she has to stay in the Ci'en Palace and have no status because the emperor died. Now, she has no backer in the palace, who will take her seriously?
On the contrary, if the emperor had not died, even if she was not favored, she would still be the emperor's concubine and the head of the first palace, which was different from her status as a concubine.
Considering this, and the fact that the emperor was okay and not that kind of foolish king, Linlang decided to save him more than ten years later when he contracted a cold and died.
But she said that after Concubine Yue became the number one person in the palace, she could still maintain a normal attitude at first, but she was just an ordinary person. Over time, how could she maintain it? After all, there were people flattering her everywhere, who could It's normal to be arrogant and ambitious if you maintain your character. Let's not talk about her. Some wise men will be arrogant after being praised too much. She is definitely not as good as those wise men. It's normal for their mentality to be arrogant.
After his ambition expanded, he began to take action against Sun Bin's son.
It turned out that Concubine Yue also gave birth to a son. After having a son, Concubine Yue was afraid that Concubine Sun's son would block her way, so she wanted to deal with Concubine Sun's son.
Why don't you take care of that little transparent son? That one is bigger.
It turned out that Concubine Yue felt that Xiao Transparent's son was not a threat, but the concubine, although she had fallen out of favor, was not completely out of favor. She was still somewhat favored. In addition, her son was good and the emperor liked her, so she was naturally more favored than Xiao Transparent. Her son made Concubine Yue even more jealous, fearing that her son would become a prince in the future and nothing would happen to her without her own son.
In that case, what's the use of being favored like this now? After the new emperor comes to power, she won't have anything to do.
Even if he stole the concubine's favor, would he still be able to live a good life if her son came to power in the future? This was also the reason why she wanted to attack Sun Concubine's son, for fear of being retaliated by Sun Concubine in the future.
