Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 1 Minghe Ten Years Winter

The winter of Minghe [-]th came very early. Just after October, the first snow of this winter fell.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, I heard Fang Xi happily talking about the snow scene outside, and asked casually, "Is it snowing heavily outside?"

"It's very big. When I got up this morning to go to the Shangfu Bureau, the snow reached my ankle." Fang Xi replied with a smile, and the green bell-like laughter echoed in the bedroom.

"Really?" I was provoked by Fang Xi's words, but I suddenly remembered something: "When will the beautiful girl enter the palace today?"

"Chenshi three quarters." Fang Xie replied, and then said with a smile: "There is no need for the queen mother to worry, her aunt has asked Wang Sizan to change the place to the West Garden Palace. In addition, she ordered Liu Sizan to put a lot of braziers in the side hall , will definitely not chill those nobles."

"That's good." Qihe is not like Fangxie, she is thoughtful and calm, I can rest assured that she does things, "Did the emperor say that he would come here today?"

"As I said, I sent Xiao Yunzi over early this morning to pass on the message. The emperor said that he would come to the Queen Mother to have breakfast after the morning court, and then accompany the Queen Mother to Xiyuan Palace."

"Did you order Dongchun to make Tianxiang porridge that the emperor likes to eat?"

"Don't worry, the queen mother, her aunt has already given orders."

"That's good." I replied, and then stopped talking, just staring at my face in the bronze mirror in a daze.

In the blink of an eye, I have reached my twenties.

I still remember that it was the 19th year of Xuanhe, the first emperor was dying, and the seventeen sons under his knees were either dead or disabled because they fought for the throne for many years, or because they were too cruel, they were sent to a distant border by the first emperor's decree that they would never return to Beijing. In the end, only the youngest seventeen princes remained.

The seventeenth prince, Mingqi, was eight years old in the 19th year of Xuanhe. His mother was an ordinary maid in the palace.

The first emperor was thoughtful, and he knew that it would be difficult for the seventeenth prince to sit firmly on the throne under such circumstances, so the first emperor, who had calculated all his life, did not forget to calculate before he died. Taifu Qiulu's daughter, that is, me, Qiu Changwu, entered the palace and was named queen.

Later, in order to make the Qiu family wholeheartedly help the seventeenth prince to be the emperor, he even ordered to kill the seventeenth prince's mother Yao Changyi, so that the seventeenth prince Mingqi respected me as his own mother.

The year after I was banned, I was ten years old.

Mingqi came over around Chenshi, bringing a burst of cold air when he came in, Fang Qian and all the maids in my palace saluted Mingqi, and then stepped forward to take the cloak that Mingqi had untied.

"My son, give my mother hello." After Fang Qian ordered the little maid to take Mingqi's cloak into the side hall, Mingqi walked towards me and saluted.

"Pingshen." I nodded, got up and walked to the dining table to sit down. "It's snowing suddenly today, the emperor pays attention to adding clothes to avoid the wind and cold."

"My son knows, thank you for your mother's concern." Ming Qi sat down opposite me and said.

I wanted to remind Mingqi that the snow fell so early this year, that there might be snow disasters in some places, and reminded him to order the officials of the DPRK and China to start disaster prevention. After not being able to see the calm face, he gave up with a sigh.

Mingqi is no longer the child who knew nothing about chess. In recent years, under the guidance of my father Qiulu, Prime Minister Chu Bufan, and Chang Yinghou Meng Qingcheng, three senior cabinet ministers, he has begun to show the demeanor of an emperor. Things have already been prepared.

Because we follow the ancestral law of not talking when eating and not talking when sleeping, Mingqi and I didn't talk much during the meal. After a short rest after the meal, we got up together and went to Xiyuan Palace.
