"In the future, when you enter the Prince's Mansion, you must know the rules and be careful in what you say and do. Although our family is a meritorious one, we are still subjects after all. His Royal Highness the Prince has a temper, but he is easy-going. You just need to be sensible, and he will treat you well. As long as you give him a legitimate son as soon as possible. What's more, the Queen likes you." Liu whispered to Feng, who was about to get married.
Feng is seventeen years old this year and has been engaged to the prince. She will be marrying into the family soon.
"Mother, but he likes Chen Lingshuang in his heart, and I... Well, although Queen Ye chose me. But I..." Feng sighed.
"What are you afraid of? At most, he will ask Chen to be his concubine in the future. She will never be able to suppress you. Look at your father, he also has several concubines, but what can they compete with mother for?" Liu smiled and said, "Besides, I know your methods. Just be nice."
Although Feng was worried, as a young girl, she still liked the handsome and elegant Crown Prince.
I felt this way before I got married, until the wedding night.
Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a gentle person, and it is true that he is not good at speaking harshly.
But sometimes, killing with a blunt knife is even more painful.
On the wedding night, Crown Princess Feng sat anxiously on the bed in the East Palace, waiting for the drunk Crown Prince.
He rudely lifted her veil and sneered, "How can you compare to Ling Shuang? You will never be as good as her."
Then, Feng could only watch the prince sleep in silence.
The Dayi Dynasty did not observe any rules regarding handkerchiefs, so no one knew whether they had consummated their marriage.
On the second day, Feng, feeling exhausted, went to the Empress Dowager's palace, still trying to appear calm on the surface.
Three months passed like this.
In the end, it was Queen Ye who saw something was wrong and reprimanded the prince. This belated marriage consummation finally happened.
But the prince didn't like the princess after all, and he was always thinking about Chen Lingshuang.
Chen Lingshuang is weak and a slender beauty.
That's why the imperial physician also said that she would have difficulty giving birth, which was why Empress Ye was dissatisfied with her.
In the end, they only compromised and asked her to be the Crown Prince's Consort. After entering the palace, she would only be a Royal Concubine. At first, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince compromised.
But Chen was truly noble and not pretending. Ever since the Crown Prince married Feng as his legal wife, she unilaterally cut off all contact with the Crown Prince and declared that she would never be a concubine in her lifetime. She would rather die alone.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was therefore even more unable to let go of this person, and he actually revealed to his staff and close ministers that he wanted to depose the Crown Princess and enthrone Chen.
Unfortunately, although the crown prince was the crown prince at that time, he did not have much real power. It did not take long for Queen Mother Ye to find out about this and she was immediately furious.
A cup of poisoned wine was sent to the Chen family.
Chen Lingshuang was really strong-willed. She left with just one sentence before drinking the pot of poisoned wine.
What she said was: Please, Queen, don't make things difficult for the Chen family. I am willing to die to end His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's obsession. I wish the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to live happily together forever.
After Chen's death, the Crown Prince was sad but could do nothing. He really couldn't do without the support of the Feng family.
That was one of the rare peaceful times in Feng's life. Although she was not pregnant, it was the best time the prince had ever been to her.
It’s a pity that she didn’t know what she had lost at that time.
It was not until she entered the palace and became queen that she realized something was wrong after not getting pregnant for many years.
The imperial physician didn't dare to say anything, and only the old doctor outside could see the clues.
It turned out that her foundation had been destroyed long ago and she could no longer bear children.
She didn't think that the person who drugged her was anyone else except the person next to her.
At the same time, the prince who became the emperor no longer needed to flatter her.
At that time, he had a concubine similar to Chen, although that woman was soon plotted to death by the queen. But so what? He favored other people, Jin, Li, Wang... but not her Feng.
While he lavishly rewarded the Feng family, he treated her like she was in an ice cellar.
Later, Yang entered the palace. Many princes had already died because of Feng's cruelty.
Later, Yang came in. Yang was nothing like Chen. There was no trace of lovesickness in them.
But the emperor didn't care anymore. Perhaps after many years, the emperor finally forgot about Chen. He began to like Yang, even more than he liked Chen.
At least braver.
Yang has everything she wants. Yang can do anything.
It was also at that time that Empress Feng finally figured it out. She thought, since she was already in this situation, she couldn't let Yang's son be the emperor, right
She couldn't make them happy, right? So she supported Li and her prince.
So, later on, she finally took revenge on the emperor for the medicine he had given her.
The emperor's health was deteriorating day by day, and Qi Yixiu plotted to kill Yang's son.
When the emperor cried bitterly, Empress Feng was also wiping her tears, but she felt extremely happy. He also had this day? He deserved this day.
Wasn't he devoted to Chen? How could he fall in love with Yang
How could Yang be worthy? Although she hated Chen, she also admired her. But she felt disgusted when she lost to Yang.
But Yang Shi had been suppressing her for more than ten years...
This harem had oppressed her for decades. The man beside her had also made her sad for decades. Finally, it was time for him to die.
When he was dying, he actually left them an oral instruction, asking them to posthumously confer the title of empress on Yang after her death
Feng really wanted to laugh at that time, and she laughed without caring about anything.
Posthumously conferring the title of empress to Yang? Hahahaha, this is ridiculous.
When the emperor was old, he had completely forgotten Chen, who had made him drink a pot of poisoned wine in the past.
It's not worth it.
So, lying on the bed, Empress Feng, who was about to leave the palace, recalled the past and just wanted to laugh. It was really not worth it.
Chen's death was not worth it, and her suffering was not worth it. Jin's revenge was not worth it.
Yang lived a happy life. Although the result was not good, she lived happily for more than ten years. How many decades do people have in their lifetime
Li was still sober. She never liked the late emperor, but she raised the late emperor's son and made him inherit the late emperor's kingdom. Finally, she sat on the throne of the empress dowager.
But she can't even think of being complacent.
There are no winners in this harem. Everyone who enters loses.
Chen didn't come in, but she still lost.
If the Jin family loses, the Li family will also lose, and the Yang family will also lose. I... will also lose.
All the concubines in the harem today are doomed to lose.
Oh, maybe the queen won't lose, she has no son, doesn't care about trivial matters, and even... doesn't like the emperor.
Tsk, Empress Dowager Feng thought, why can people not like the emperor
Deep love and severe hurt were the biggest problems in her life, but it was useless to wake up before dying.
Alas, I may not be reborn as a human being in my next life. Why think about these things
