Chapter 30 The Jue Hei Emperor VS the Beautiful Concubine (30)
·
Ye Xiu Lao Po
Fengqi Palace.
Yes, that's right, when Wushuang was a concubine, the palace she lived in was Yunqi Palace, but after she became the queen, the palace she lived in was Fengqi Palace.
Fengqi Palace is not far from the emperor's palace. It is the largest palace in the harem and closest to the emperor's palace. Wushuang moved here after becoming the empress.
Moreover, Fengqi Palace is much larger than Yunqi Palace, so the triplets will have no problem living with her.
It should be said that no matter how many children she gave birth to, there would be no problem living in Fengqi Palace.
Fengqi Palace is the palace where the Queen of Dasheng Dynasty lived.
Wushuang was just three months pregnant. This time, she didn't blow herself up just one month into her pregnancy like she did with her first child. She didn't tell anyone until three months later.
Wushuang smiled and listened to Mrs. Gu telling her various precautions during pregnancy. Even though she had given birth once, Mrs. Gu was still worried that she failed to take care of herself.
Mrs. Gu took her daughter's hand and said, "Has Your Majesty favored other concubines just because you were pregnant?"
Although His Majesty seems to have doted on his own daughter in recent years and treated the women in the harem as if they were nothing, she was still very worried.
Of course, Mrs. Gu did not take it for granted that the emperor Dongfang Che should live alone with her daughter. She just felt that Dongfang Che was the only one who doted on other women. If he favored other women again, it would make her daughter sad.
What Mrs. Gu hates most is when her husband is having an affair with another woman when his wife is pregnant.
It is said that a wife cannot serve her husband when she is pregnant. It would be too unfair for her husband to abstain from sex for a year...
Pooh!
Mrs. Gu wanted to curse when she heard such remarks.
My wife is pregnant and cannot have sex, so my husband has been wronged by abstaining from sex for a year?
Isn’t it hard for a wife to give birth to a child?
The wife was already very uncomfortable when she was pregnant, but when she saw her husband being with another woman, she might even have a child during this period. Wouldn't the wife feel aggrieved?
Anyway, Mrs. Gu felt aggrieved.
After she fought with Gu Qianlei's concubines, she let them go and remarried.
Even though she later became pregnant and gave birth to a child, she never thought about letting Gu Qianlei sleep with another woman while she was pregnant.
If he dared to sleep with another woman while she was pregnant, she would deal with him.
Although her natal family is not as good as the Gu family, and it seems that she has to please Gu Qianlei at every turn, but in fact Mrs. Gu is not the kind of weak person who can be bullied.
She became so fierce that no one in the Gu family could restrain her.
"Wushuang, His Majesty is the emperor after all. Don't lose your heart to him." Mrs. Gu said to her daughter in a serious voice.
"He is the emperor, and there are so many women in the harem. Even if you are the only one he favors now, it does not mean that he will really only have you in the future."
"You are pregnant now. Don't feel uncomfortable and hurt yourself just because he might have something with another woman, you know?" Mrs. Gu advised her daughter.
If her daughter marries someone other than the emperor, even if she marries someone else from the Dasheng clan, she can confidently let her daughter hold her husband firmly in her hands and prevent him from getting involved with any other woman.
The daughter of their Gu family wants her husband to devote himself to her. What's wrong if there is no other woman?Not too much at all.
But her daughter married an emperor, so Mrs. Gu was not so confident.
Wu Shuang gently patted the back of Mrs. Gu's hand and said, "Don't worry, Mom, my daughter will remember your words."
Mrs. Gu looked at her daughter's appearance and carefully observed that what she said was true. She had not really fallen in love with Dongfang Che.
So fine.
If you really fall in love with an emperor, who knows how hurt you will be?
Sometimes a good emperor does not mean that he is a good husband or a good man.
And a good husband cannot be a good emperor.
When facing the emperor, what you have to do is to protect your heart. You can like him, but you can't love him so much that you can't help yourself. That will only hurt others and yourself.
……
Mrs. Gu came to the palace. When Dongfang Che came to see Wushuang in the evening, he asked her how her chat with Mrs. Gu was going.
"After meeting Mrs. Gu, is Zitong in a better mood?" Dongfang Che asked with concern.
Wushuang smiled and threw herself into Dongfang Che's arms and said, "I am very happy."
"Not only am I happy to see my mother, but I am also very happy to think that your majesty takes my heart into consideration." Wushuang said with a smile.
Dongfang Che looked at his beloved wife who was tender and soft in his arms, hugged her and said, "As long as you are happy."
"Zitong, I have something I want to discuss with you." Dongfang Che said.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Wushuang raised his face and looked at him and asked.
Dongfang Che said, "I want to release the concubines from the harem. They have been in the palace for many years and have not given birth to children. Keeping them is a waste of money to raise them. It is better to release them from the palace and let them marry others."
There was no rule in the Dasheng Dynasty that widows could not remarry. It was very common for widows in the Dasheng Dynasty to remarry, divorce and remarry, etc.
But like Dongfang Che, it had never happened before that the concubines in the harem were released from the palace and asked to marry another person.
Wushuang said in surprise, "Your Majesty, if you release the concubines from the palace to marry another woman, what if they don't want to? Or what if their natal family doesn't want to?"
These concubines were sent to the palace by their families for glory and wealth. Is it really a good idea to let them out of the palace and marry others?
And who dares to marry the emperor’s concubine?
Even if you dare to marry, what if someone dislikes you?
Or maybe the concubines are used to the life in the palace and their lives are not satisfactory after remarrying?
Wushuang grabbed Dongfang Che's hand and said, "Your Majesty, have you discussed this idea with the Queen Mother? There are other sisters, do they know? Are they willing?"
Although Wushuang clung to Dongfang Che tightly and had nothing to do with other women after having her, she didn't really insist on letting him send the concubine out of the palace when she got mad.
These must take into account their actual situation.
Do their families want them to leave the palace and marry another person?
Are they willing to marry another person themselves?
Would anyone want to marry them?
These are all things that need to be considered carefully. Otherwise, if the concubines are released from the palace all at once, wouldn't that mean they are forced to die?
Dongfang Che looked at her serious look and sighed, "Zitong, you are right, these are all things that need to be considered."
"But I..." Dongfang Che remembered that he had found out about Dongfang Cheng and Su Mingxin's plan to have his heir. In the following years, he followed the clues and found out who gave him the heirloom medicine.
The anti-child medicine was really given to him. This was the reason why he had no children for so many years.
The six imperial doctors he trained did not see the problem because the secret medicine was very hidden and could not be easily detected.
Later, he saw a miracle doctor, who gave him a definite answer.
The miracle doctor said that only after he was in this situation, the queen could give him a child, and other women would not be able to give birth to him.
Since the women in the harem cannot give him children, what are they left for?
It was quite expensive to raise so many women, so Dongfang Che wanted to send them out of the palace to remarry, so that he wouldn't need to spend a lot of money to raise these women.
Yes, that's right, when Wushuang was a concubine, the palace she lived in was Yunqi Palace, but after she became the queen, the palace she lived in was Fengqi Palace.
