Dressed as the vicious stepmother of the villains

Chapter 524 Queen and Concubine

The new emperor succeeded to the throne, in the name of "keeping filial piety", and did not fill the harem for two full years.

But it's not an option to be empty all the time.

In the second year of Pingxuan, Yu Feicheng registered two concubines, which can be regarded as barely perfunctory to the ministers.

Maybe it was because the starting point was too low at the beginning, and the ministers didn't have high demands on Yu Feicheng, just two. After that, there will be general elections every three years, which will eventually fill up the harem.

Moreover, the new emperor is not very old, and it is better not to miss the bed than to miss the bed too much.

But this strange balance was broken in the new year that alternated between the fourth and fifth years of Pingxuan.

Because of Da Yuan, a congenial princess was sent.

It is said that the princess has a charming appearance and a tactful voice, and she is a leader among girls.

Being a concubine is indeed satisfying, but the new emperor has no heirs, if Princess Dayuan gave birth to the eldest son, then Dayu would really be in chaos.

Therefore, for the sake of Dayu and the future of the dynasty, all the ministers wrote letters one after another, requesting the new emperor to appoint a queen as soon as possible and give birth to an eldest son.

Inside the Golden Palace.

Yu Feicheng frowned when he saw the almost identical contents of these brochures, and said nothing.

The little eunuch Li beside him was terrified, for fear that the new emperor would get angry and throw the papers all over the floor.

Once upon a time, he followed his godfather Li Jian and saw many such scenes.

However, to his surprise, no matter how annoyed the new emperor was, he only frowned, and did not break his body, let alone rage.

But such an emperor made little Eunuch Li even more afraid.

Unfathomable, as quiet as an abyss.

Sometimes the real monstrous waves just look scary, but the calm pool hides a murderous maniac.

The next day, go to court.

Sure enough, some ministers dared to mention the matter of the Empress Dowager and the Prince, and several people followed suit, and it was endless.

Yu Feicheng is sitting in a high position. The 20-year-old has gradually lost his childishness, and his brows are more dignified and mature.

Even if the age is not that old, it is not something that everyone present can underestimate.

"Whose loves do you think is better to make the girl the empress?" After the echo fell, the emperor asked softly with a half-smile.

The people in the hall were silent for a moment.

To be honest, any minister who has a woman of the right age at home has selfish motives.

Today's emperor is sober and not stupid, he is clean and capable, and the throne has been in his hands for three to five years, and it has gone from crumbling to unshakable.

It can be said that in the next few decades, as long as Yu Feicheng is still alive, his throne will be extremely secure.

If someone's daughter is married into the middle palace, the family will surely continue its glory for decades.

But Emperor Pingxuan was too pure-hearted and ascetic. I heard that the number of times he entered the harem in a year was no more than the number of hands. Presumably, even if he had a middle palace in the future, he would not be too enthusiastic.

For a while, the inner scales of the ministers were dangling, not knowing whether to be greedy for glory and wealth, or whether to pursue this selfishness.

In the end, there was still a minister who couldn't hold back the greed in his heart, and stood up and said, "To marry a wife and a virtuous person, the queen needs to have both ability and political integrity, so that she can mother the world."

"Oh? Li Aiqing has someone to choose?" Yu Feicheng showed an unpredictable smile.

The Li family minister's back tightened, but he still said bravely, "Veteran ministers don't dare to choose candidates, but they are willing to serve you when recommending a few people for the emperor."

"Sure." Yu Feicheng nodded.

The minister of the Li family felt relieved, and quickly handed the paper that had been prepared for several days to Eunuch Li.

Little Eunuch Li submitted it to the dragon case in a hurry.

Yu Feicheng slowly opened the paper, and there was a row of four girls' names written on it, and the first one was the first daughter of the Li family.

Selfishness is too obvious, but it is always courageous to speak out.

Yu Feicheng fastened the paper on the dragon case, slightly hooked his lips, and tapped the dragon case with his slender, white index finger, making a crisp knocking sound.

What a big boy, he said softly, "Just the girl from the Li family."

The matter of the empress seal was decided so lightly.

The other ministers were so regretful that they almost vomited blood. They had known that the emperor was so talkative, so they pushed their daughters out.

Which round will get the mediocre Li family.

But the emperor had already spoken, and he could not change his words.

The imperial decree of the concubine and the imperial concubine were issued almost on the same day.

The Li family was extremely grateful, with tears streaming down their face, but at the same time secretly rejoicing and complacent.

Only a few kids didn't quite understand.

"Brother Huang, why did you make the daughter of the Li family the empress? There are so many excellent girls in the capital, none of them are better than the daughter of the Li family." Yu Feique, who was already pregnant, said angrily.

"There is also the Great Yuan Princess, they are the ones who lost the battle, why should Big Brother wrong himself to marry that Great Yuan Princess." Gu Lou also sighed.

Yu Feicheng picked up the teacup, smiled slightly, and drank the tea in one gulp, "The Li family has the benefits of the Li family."

The most important thing is, who is the queen doesn't mean much to him.

"Brother Huang, don't you have someone you like?" Yu Feique tilted his head and said, "Even if you like Princess Dayuan."

How can a person have no feelings, how can he not have someone he likes.

Yu Feicheng glanced at her, put down the teacup, and said calmly, "Maybe there used to be, but there won't be any more in the future."

Yu Feique was so shocked that he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

She thought, she knew why Brother Huang would not have him again in the future.

Because I have seen a woman who is too good, my horizons have been raised, and it is difficult for people who are below this standard line to be seen again.

Perhaps a coincidence, you will know new people and get to know new people.

But chance coincidence is not for everyone.

This is life.

Yu Feique lowered his head and sipped the milk in a low voice.

Gu Lou scratched his head beside him, not knowing what his brother and sister were talking about.

He only cares about one thing now, "Brother, we have accepted Da Yuan's marriage request, will we still have to fight in the future?"

Yu Feicheng glanced at him with a calm expression, "Peace is only temporary."

Just like Da Yuan couldn't support himself and took the initiative to seek peace, Dayu has not been comfortable in the past few years.

A truce is good for everyone, and agreeing to the marriage request is just a temporary recuperation.

As for war.

It never ends.

In the fifth year of Ping Xuan, the harem, which had been empty for more than four years, ushered in its mistress.

In the same month of the same year, Da Yuan and his pro-princess were named noble concubines and became Emperor Dayu's favorite.

In the sixth year of Pingxuan, the empress and concubine conceived together, and each gave birth to a son the following year.

Empress Li was a little depressed, thinking that her child was only two days later than the concubine's child, and she changed from the eldest son to the second son.

She was so nauseous about this that she couldn't eat for days, and she hadn't done a good job in confinement, and she had some troubles.

After confinement, his elder brother Li Wuleng came to visit and found out that something was wrong with Empress Li, so he advised her a few words.

But it didn't help.

"It's nothing more than a foreign woman. I really thought she was doting on the harem, so what if she gave birth to a son. She really treats herself as a treasure." Empress Li remembered what she saw a while ago, and her eyes lit up.

She already thought about how to hit the imperial concubine.
