Tyrant's First Favorite Concubine

Chapter 155

In the palace, although it is resplendent and magnificent, everything is lonely.

At this time, Fengyi Palace was even more peaceful and quiet.

Dongfang Shangyu was sitting on the soft chair on the left side of the hall, his face was a little more serious than usual, a little less calm.

On the main seat in the hall, a woman in her forties, dressed in a phoenix robe and golden jade phoenix hairpin, frowned slightly. Although her beautiful face was well maintained, the wind marks of the years were still visible.

She is the Empress Zhen of the Yutian Dynasty. Over the years, Dongfang Jingkong has set up a harem. In the entire harem, apart from the Empress Zhen, there are only eighteen years old Jin and the Princess.Everyone in the world thinks that Dongfang Jing and Mrs. Zhen are deeply in love, but they don't know that in Fengyi Palace, Zhen and Dongfang Jing haven't been in love for many years.

Zhen raised her hands to the maids and eunuchs on both sides, signaling them all to back down.Then he said to Dongfang Shangyu: "I heard from Prime Minister Xu that you haven't gone to court for three days. Why?"

An imperceptible smile appeared on Dongfang Shangyu's face, and he said, "My son has been feeling unwell recently, and he just got better today."

Mrs. Zhen smiled coldly, and said: "Your father is getting old, and many alchemists entered the palace to discuss the Tao with your father the day before yesterday, which made your father more and more careless about government affairs. I went to pay my respects yesterday, but he asked Me, are you good enough to take on the great responsibility of the world. Yuer, do you know what your father thinks?"

Dongfang Shangyu's complexion darkened, and he said: "The aptitude of the minister is still low, please ask the mother to persuade the father to think twice."

How could he not understand that his father's intention was to abdicate early and hand over the country and society of the Yutian Dynasty to him.

However, many things have not been properly arranged by him. If he succeeds to the throne at this time, he is afraid that the empire of Yutian Dynasty will eventually fall into the hands of others.

At this time, a maid named Jingchan outside the hall was holding a tray and said: "My empress, the ginseng tea for His Royal Highness is ready."

"Come in."

Jing Chan was pretty and handsome, she was a maid of honor in Zhen's Palace, she walked into the hall, saluted, and said to Dongfang Shangyu: "His Royal Highness, please use it, this is the material prepared by the empress early in the morning. It was delivered in an hour."

Dongfang Shangyu glanced at the ginseng tea in the jade bowl, but his hands were still moving.

"Jingchan, go down." Zhen said to Jingchan, and when Jingchan walked out of the door, she stood up and walked down the hall, "Yu'er, it's time to take the antidote today, why, don't you want to?" drink?"

Zhen held up the jade bowl with a secretive smile on her face.

Dongfang Shangyu raised his eyes and asked, "Why did you use this method?"

Zhen's eyes were fixed, and she said word by word: "Because I want to be the queen mother! I want to continue to be in charge of the harem!"

"This harem is already yours." Dongfang Shangyu said weakly.

"But, who can guarantee that after you ascend the throne, this harem will still be mine?" Mrs. Zhen bent down, and a strong fragrance made Dongfang Shangyu look away.

He sighed: "You are my queen mother, who else is qualified to be a queen mother except you? Mother queen, you are too worried..."

"Haha..." Zhen suddenly burst out laughing, and her face gradually became painful. She said hoarsely, "Yu'er, you can fool the world, but you can't fool me! You hate me, you wish you could cut me into pieces ..."

A trace of pain flashed in Dongfang Shangyu's eyes. Indeed, he hated this woman. Back then, if it wasn't for her jealousy and suspicion, how could his mother and concubine be forced to death by Dongfang Jing?

Therefore, he hated the Zhen family, hated Dongfang Jing, and hated this imperial palace!

However, if he wanted to survive, he had to hide such hatred deeply.

He smiled casually, and said: "Mother, those things have passed, and my son has forgotten, and I hope that the mother will not torture myself every day."

After finishing speaking, he took the jade bowl from Mrs. Zhen's hand and drank the ginseng tea in it in one gulp.

This is Zhen's method of controlling him. If he does not come to her palace regularly to drink the antidote, he will die of poison.

In this huge palace, in this place called home, there is no one who is trustworthy, and no one is worth relying on.

Seeing that Dongfang Shangyu drank all the ginseng tea, Zhen's face softened a little.She caressed a few orchids in a vase beside her, and said, "Jin and the princess are married this year, and you, an older brother, don't care about her marriage at all. What your father means is to promise her to General Zhengxi Gu Cenya, what do you think?"

Dongfang Shangyu didn't have much affection for Jinhe, perhaps because she was the direct daughter of the Zhen family, or perhaps because of her withdrawn personality.

Dongfang Shangyu thought for a moment, and said: "General Zhengxi has made many military exploits and is handsome, so he is the best candidate for a marriage. And now my father wants to restrain Gu Cen Ya, and giving a marriage can also win people's hearts."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhen nodded her head and said with a smile, "You may not know that this Gu Cen Ya was not personally appointed by your father, but by your imperial sister."

"Oh?" Dongfang Shangyu didn't expect this, but with Gu Cen Ya's talent and appearance, it's not surprising that Jin He could fall in love with him.

Mrs. Zhen said again: "Yu'er, you are not young anymore. So far, there is not even a concubine in the mansion. It is really outrageous! If you fall into someone else's mouth, you will blame me, the queen mother, for not caring about you, the emperor's son." Yes! I think the eldest lady of Prime Minister Xu’s family is very good, I have already told your father to tell him..."

"Mother!" Dongfang Shangyu interrupted suddenly, his voice was not loud, but he was clearly displeased.

Zhen Shi was startled and asked, "What? You don't want to?"

Dongfang Shangyu didn't speak, his face was gloomy.

When Zhen saw this, she was naturally angry, but she said with a smile on her face: "Since you don't want to, the queen mother will not force you, but your father said beforehand that you must finish your wedding first, and then let Jinhe get married. At that time, even if it's not Prime Minister Xu's daughter, there will be ladies from other famous families in the imperial capital!"

"My son's marriage, my son's own discretion, don't worry about my mother!" After finishing speaking, Dongfang Shangyu stood up and was about to leave.

But Zhen Shi said behind her: "If you really have a crush, the Empress Mother can persuade your father to give you permission. There is only one thing, you must get married as soon as possible!"

Dongfang Shangyu's back stiffened, and then strode out the door.

Is big marriage also one of her methods?Who knows that only after the prince gets married can he participate in the government?

What exactly does this woman want to do?
