The next day, after the emperor's court meeting, he went to the back hall of Longque Palace to see his only emperor.
Li Yunxi is playing a role, and the nutrient solution only increases the number of days of life, but it is not the elixir in the world of cultivation that can cleanse the menstrual marrow.
Therefore, the color of his face was still bluish-purple with a hint of gray, which made the emperor feel very bad.
But he only had such a son, and Li Chengyuan had to endure it no matter how unhappy he was.
I saw him asking the nanny with a sullen face.
"How is the emperor's breastfeeding status?"
"Your Majesty, the person who nursed the little prince yesterday was Nanny Liu. I have not breastfed the little prince today. Do you want to summon Nanny Liu to come for questioning?"
"That's all, please take good care of the Sixth Prince. If you do, I will reward him heavily."
After the emperor said this, he left without even looking at Li Yunxi.
It was early in the morning, and there were not many people in the live broadcast room, only a few hundred people. But seeing the emperor's indifference, there was still a small outburst of barrage.
[What kind of father is this? He doesn’t even hug his children when he comes to see them. 】
[That is, dead indifferent. 】
[Is the family affection of ancient royal families so indifferent? 】
[Tsk, this is the emperor’s only son. I can’t see the emperor’s joy. 】
[It’s understandable, after all, Up’s master looks like a sickly child, and the emperor is afraid that he won’t be able to feed him, and will end up feeling sad. 】
[The emperor guessed that there was something wrong with his sperm. Many of his sons died. 】
[Not necessarily. The emperor gave birth to five sons, all of whom died in infancy, but thirteen daughters survived. I always feel that it was caused by the fighting in the harem. 】
[Hahahaha, when will the host of Up broadcast the palace battle for us, I want to see it. 】
Li Yunxi:......
Is there any mistake? Tell him to live broadcast a harem fight with a newborn baby? Not afraid of folding him in either.
He often followed his mother to watch "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Legend of the Golden Branch", in which the harem battles were extremely terrifying and tragic.
Although he has lost his mother and his father is also indifferent, he is raised in the back hall of Longque Palace and is already taken care of by his father.
If he insists on seeking his own death and breaking into the harem, it can only be said that he is out of his mind.
As for agreeing to the system's live broadcast of harem battles, Li Yunxi thought about doing it when he is older and able to do so.
Now I'd better take good care of myself and please the dog emperor father by the way.
As long as the emperor showed some hands from under his fingernails and took care of him carefully, and provided him with nutrient solution, it would be easy for him to successfully kill the emperor's father and ascend to the throne.
-
The emperor left seemingly indifferently, but in fact he was no less anxious than others.
He was still young, and a prince was born in the palace. He was finally born, but Zhang Bi said he would not survive more than three days.
Although Li Chengyuan hated Zhang Bi extremely, it had to be said that he was still somewhat capable as an imperial physician.
And compared to other submissive doctors, Zhang Bi was the only one who could tell the truth.
Li Chengyuan originally thought that the little prince's complexion would change the next day, but there was still a hint of gray mixed with the bruises, which made him dare not take another look.
Li Chengyuan returned to the main hall of Longque Palace. Not long after his butt touched the chair, he saw a young eunuch running to look for Wu Mao.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Mao carefully conveyed the message.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is waiting outside with Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup."
Li Chengyuan was stunned for a second, then frowned and said, "When didn't I go to Zichen Palace?"
"You haven't been to the harem since the time when Imperial Concubine Yu Yi was not in good health. It must have been about three months."
"It's been so long since I've been in the harem, so let's announce my cousin to come in!" Li Chengyuan said calmly.
After a while, Concubine Chen, dressed in gorgeous clothes, graceful and luxurious, brought her personal maid Bai Zhi to greet the emperor.
"I met my cousin."
"My slave, please see your majesty. May your majesty be blessed."
The master and the servant had completely different greetings.
"Ping Shen." Li Chengyuan did not raise his head and continued to review the memorial.
Concubine Chen on the side asked Bai Zhi to open the food box and came forward with a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup.
"Cousin, my cousin hasn't seen you for many days. I'm worried about you, so I specially ordered the imperial kitchen to cook tremella and lotus seed soup. Do you think you can use two bites?"
After Li Chengyuan heard this, he glanced at Wu Mao.
Wu Mao stood up immediately and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is so noble, so I should serve you as a slave to your Majesty's meals."
Immediately afterwards, the bowl was removed from Concubine Chen's hands with skillful force, and immediately a poison-testing eunuch came forward to test the poison.
After testing the poison, Wu Mao dared to serve the bowl of soup.
Li Chengyuan also took a few bites to save his face, and then asked Wu Mao to take it.
When Concubine Chen saw this, she bit her lip lightly.
Although she is about to turn forty, she is well-maintained and looks like a mature woman in her twenties, as delicious and attractive as she is.
"Cousin, you only tasted it twice?" Concubine Chen was a little dissatisfied.
Li Chengyuan glanced at her while reading the memorial.
"I don't like Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup. For your sake, I've already eaten two bites. Why are you dissatisfied?"
For his brainless cousin, Li Chengyuan still had a lot of nostalgia in his heart in the early years, but when she had two princes and couldn't keep them, Li Chengyuan was more or less disappointed with Concubine Chen.
The love between a man and a woman that was once childhood sweethearts has completely disappeared, leaving only the kinship between cousins.
However, Concubine Chen did not notice Li Chengyuan's coldness at all.
She only felt that Li Chengyuan's words were to give her face. She felt that her cousin obviously didn't like to eat Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, but because she took two bites, Concubine Chen immediately smiled and said goodbye.
"Cousin, I know that you have me in your heart and have deep affection for me. I feel the same way, cousin."
After Li Chengyuan heard this, he frowned slightly, but did not reveal Concubine Chen's joy. He only whispered "en" in a low voice.
The love between a man and a woman faded between the two, but the love between cousins still existed. Li Chengyuan was still willing to give Concubine Chen some face when she had done nothing wrong.
But he really knew Concubine Chen too well, and when he saw that she was fidgeting and hesitated to speak, he asked.
"What's wrong? It's fine. You came to see me. But what happened?"
Concubine Chen's eyes flashed, she cleared her throat and said in a long tone.
"Cousin~ I heard that the sixth prince was given birth to by Concubine Yu yesterday. Because of her meritorious service in giving birth, cousin posthumously named her Concubine Yu Yi. Cousin, isn't this unfair?" Concubine Chen said in a slightly dissatisfied tone.
Bai Zhi next to her was so frightened that she almost fainted when she heard her mother-in-law's words.
My good empress, didn’t you agree before that you would come to your majesty to ask for the custody of the sixth prince? Why are you jealous in front of your majesty again?
Bai Zhi only felt that her heart was so tired and she couldn't carry her anymore.
Li Chengyuan glanced at her and immediately became happy. His eyes completely fell on Concubine Chen and he said.
"Concubine, my concubine Chen, do you know what the status of the imperial concubine is?"
Concubine Chen was stunned for a second and said: "Zhengyipin."
The positions in the harem of the Great Qian Dynasty are divided into the following: the queen is of the highest rank, the imperial concubine is of the first rank, and the concubine is of the first rank.
Next is the position of the virtuous and virtuous fourth wife, who is the second rank and represents the fourth concubine who is one level higher.
The miscellaneous titles include the second-grade concubines and the fourth concubines, such as Li Yunxi's biological mother, Concubine Jade, and the concubines Zhen, Bao, and Zhao who have been favored by the emperor in recent years. Although they are not as ancient and noble as the titles of the fourth concubines, they can be identified as the emperor when they hear them. Favorite person.
After that, there are the nine concubines of the third rank who also have the position of the main hall of the palace, with different titles, namely Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong and Chongyuan.
Next came the noble concubines of the third rank. Below the noble concubines, the middle-level concubines did not have a main palace and could only live in the side hall of the palace of the queen of each palace.
Below the noble concubines are Jieyu of the fourth rank, Ronghua of the fourth rank, beauty of the fifth rank, noble person of the fifth rank, talented person of the sixth rank, and Changzai of the sixth rank.
The above-mentioned concubines, excluding the queen and the imperial concubine with the title of deputy concubine, together are collectively referred to as the seventy-two concubines in the harem.
The following seven-rank Baolin, selecting girls from the seventh-rank, selecting servants from the eighth-rank, agreeing from the eighth-rank, and dressing at the bottom, are all low-ranking concubines with no limit on the number.
Among these concubines, the most special ones are the queen and the imperial concubine.
The queen is the empress of the middle palace, and everyone knows it. The imperial concubine is the deputy empress. Taizu explicitly ordered that the imperial concubine is the empress who dies. If the emperor is unwilling to appoint a successor, he can appoint the imperial concubine as the deputy empress and take charge of the Phoenix Seal.
This clause is to prevent the legitimate prince from appearing under his successor's knees again, and to compete with the legitimate prince under the Queen Yuan's knee for the title of legitimate prince.
After all, a successor is also a direct descendant.
Under the ancient inheritance system of eldest son, the successor's son naturally had the title of eldest son and competed for the throne.
At this time, the emperor lacked someone to help him take care of the harem, and he did not want to establish a successor, so the position of imperial concubine came into being.
She is equivalent to the deputy queen. She holds the real power of the queen, but has no legitimate legitimate son. She cannot compete with the prince in the name of successor, and there is no legitimate prince under her knee to compete for the throne. Naturally, it is the best of both worlds.
However, the deputy empress and the main empress cannot appear at the same time, and they can only die once.
Therefore, most of the imperial concubines were granted posthumous title.
At this time, the emperor asked Chen Guifei if she knew the status of the imperial concubine. He reminded her that the imperial concubine was the deputy concubine. While the queen was alive, she could not create another imperial concubine.
However, Concubine Chen didn't understand it at all. She really thought the emperor asked her what rank the concubine was.
Li Chengyuan felt helpless and wanted to yell at him for being an idiot, but he couldn't bear it when he looked at his cousin who was still so innocent at his age.
That's all, for the sake of the two children, I won't argue with her, the emperor said in his heart.
"I will only say it once. The position of the imperial concubine is higher than that of the deputy empress. It was decided by Taizu and his elders. If the empress is established, then the imperial concubine cannot be established. If the imperial concubine is established, the empress cannot be established. The two are incompatible. Now that Zitong is still here, is it possible for you? Do you want me to make you the imperial concubine, so that I can't abide by the rules of my ancestors and trap me in injustice?"
Concubine Chen turned pale in an instant and hurriedly shook her head to explain.
"I don't, I don't have such a vicious heart. Your Majesty, I really haven't thought about it that way."
Seeing her pale face, Li Chengyuan didn't want to argue with her, so he just said calmly.
"Well, I understand. I just remind you not to say anything casually."
"Yeah, cousin, I know you care about me the most." Concubine Chen had a sweet heart on her face, and she no longer called her my concubine.
However, just when Li Chengyuan thought that Concubine Chen had listened to his words, the next second, Concubine Chen gave him a thunderous blow.
"Cousin, I'm not here to find you because of the posthumous title of Imperial Concubine Yu Yi. I want to say that the sixth prince's biological mother died young. Do you think it's time to find an adoptive mother for the sixth prince? What do you think of me? "
Li Chengyuan: "..." What I said before was playing the piano to others? The previous sentence told you not to talk casually, but you didn't take it to your heart at all.
