Second marriage to the regent

Although the Queen Mother received immense favor in her life, in the end she did not even have a biological child.

It was said that the Queen Mother was unable to have children because her palace was cold.

So even though she was loved and loved, she was still looked down upon. People blamed her for her infertility, but she was the only one who knew why she couldn't get pregnant.

The emperor also wanted to adopt the children of other concubines into the name of the Queen Mother several times, but either the child was unwilling and insulted the Queen Mother and even got into a fight, or the concubine was unwilling and stalked the mother.

Later, Li Junyi's biological mother passed away unexpectedly, and the emperor adopted him under the name of the Queen Mother.

Li Junyi, who has been taciturn since childhood, seems to be at odds with the Queen Mother, who is born to laugh and like to be lively.

But he kept in mind all the good things the Queen Mother did to him, and when others belittled the Queen Mother in front of the Emperor, he would stand up for them, although the consequences would be either being punished for copying scriptures or starving.

"My Lady, what are you thinking about?" The maid Caiyue looked at the imperial concubine in a depressed mood and her face looked a little ugly, for fear that there was something wrong with her body.

The imperial concubine shook her head and asked, "Where did you receive it?"

"Back to the princess, the princess has been staying at the princess residence and has not left. The situation in Kyoto has been too dangerous recently. The princess sent a message saying that she is unwilling to leave the princess residence these days." Caiyue reported truthfully.

The imperial concubine knew in her heart that after all, the guards at the prime minister's palace were safer than the princess's palace, and there were not many guards in her palace, so the imperial concubine couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Caiyue saw the worry in the imperial concubine's heart and comforted her: "Mother, although there are not many guards in the princess palace, the princess palace is surrounded by ministers' homes and it is in a lively area, so how can they target the princess?"

What Caiyue said makes sense, but the imperial concubine's heart still remains.

In desperation, Caiyue comforted her and said: "If the empress is still worried about the princess alone, I will go to the princess's house soon and bring the princess safely into the palace."

The imperial concubine thought for a while and agreed with what Caiyue said just now: "You should take people to the princess's mansion now. You must bring the princess to the palace unharmed."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After receiving the order, Caiyue immediately turned around and left with a few palace maids and young eunuchs.

Fulai saw that the imperial concubine was in a better mood, and then raised his hand to signal the young eunuchs to move on.

"Fu Lai, you said that I just unintentionally angered the Queen Mother. Will it be more difficult to see the Queen Mother in the future than to go to heaven?" The imperial concubine still felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Seeing the imperial concubine's mood change faster than turning the page in a book, Fulai was a little caught off guard, but he remained very calm and comforted: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Everyone in the palace knows the Queen Mother's care and love for your Majesty. . What’s more, this is just the Queen Mother’s reflection that she is worried about the princess’ safety. The Queen Mother is so gentle and virtuous, so she will understand the anxiety and uneasiness in the Queen Mother’s heart.”

After hearing a lot of Fulai's rhetoric, the imperial concubine only heard that the Queen Mother would not blame her.

"Recently, the Queen Mother intends to let the Princess Regent enter the palace. Send someone to keep a close eye on her to make sure she doesn't miss any important clues." The Queen Mother's love for Li Junyi far exceeded her love for the emperor, which made the ministers panic.

The Queen Mother's tricks are all known to the ministers. Without those ruthless tricks and high IQ, how could she, a woman with no family background, climb from a beautiful girl to her current position as Queen Mother step by step?

At that time, there was turmoil in the palace and the late emperor passed away. Since the late emperor loved the Queen Mother most during his lifetime, the Queen Mother proposed to stay in the tomb for three years.

At that time, other concubines felt that the Queen Mother was mentally ill. Everyone was trying their best to become the emperor for their own flesh and blood. Only she was unique. She took Li Junyi and said that she wanted to stay away from the disputes in the court and did not want to fight with others.

But after everyone ignored the Queen Mother's existence, the disputes within the court gradually got out of control.

The prince was killed, and the princes and concubines killed each other. In order to get the throne, they did not hesitate to kill their brothers and sisters. Maybe God can't stand it any longer. In this struggle, the princes and princesses passed away one after another, and even the concubines in the harem died very few. The remaining ones were not favored by the emperor, or had no connection at all. A beautiful lady that the emperor has never seen before.

The emperor and his men fought desperately. When Li Junyi arrived, he saw the emperor standing in a pool of blood. His whole body was covered with scars and blood was flowing, and he was holding the late emperor's sword in his hand.

The emperor stared at Li Junyi eagerly. As long as he killed this one, he would be able to secure his position.

But Li Junyi's next operation stunned him, and Li Junyi escorted him all the way to the throne.

Therefore, the emperor owed Li Junyi a favor.

All the concubines in the palace met with misfortune, and even the emperor's biological mother had to die. However, when everyone thought of the imperial mausoleum and the late emperor's concubines, they all came up with ideas to ask the emperor to issue an order to recall these concubines.

Since the newly appointed emperor did not have a stable court, in order to avoid trouble, he followed the advice of the ministers and recalled all the concubines.

But the emperor's biological mother had just left, so how could he be willing to let other women be his queen mother, so he sent people to intercept her halfway and kill all the late emperor's concubines.

Just as he walked onto the throne with a bright face and took his seat, he saw the Queen Mother being surrounded by the crowd.

At that moment, the emperor was dumbfounded. All the concubines were obviously killed by him on the road, so why did the queen mother appear in the hall without incident.

Since the emperor's biological mother died, only the Queen Mother remained among all the concubines. The ministers ignored the emperor's wishes and put the Queen Mother in her current position.

Fulai responded: "Don't worry, I will send someone to keep a close eye on anyone else who is unfavorable to your Majesty."

Seeing Fulai, who was thinking carefully about her everywhere, the imperial concubine felt lucky that she could feel relieved to have such a capable assistant by her side.

Soon after the imperial concubine returned to the palace, Caiyue brought Li Nanyu into the palace.

"I would like to express my regards to my mother and concubine." Li Nanyu's gentle voice woke up the imperial concubine who was dozing off.

The imperial concubine glanced at Li Nanyu sleepily and said perfunctorily: "Yu'er is here."

After saying that, before Li Nanyu could respond, the imperial concubine fell asleep because she was too sleepy. If the imperial doctor hadn't said that the imperial concubine was just asleep, Li Nanyu would have gone crazy.

"Since the concubine is asleep, you can just stay in the room and take care of her. If anything happens, come to me immediately!" Li Nanyu left the imperial concubine's room after explaining.

After the false alarm, Li Nanyu sat in the garden, and the ordinary flowers looked particularly bright at the moment.

"Even ordinary flowers can bloom, right?" Li Nanyu murmured to herself as she looked at the flowers in front of her.

The maid followed behind, and when she heard Li Nanyu's soliloquy, she immediately agreed: "Any flower will bloom when the time comes."

Li Nanyu smiled after hearing this: "What you said makes sense. It's time to prepare for the future."

The maid looked at a few flowers that didn't even have buds in the flower bed, and responded: "If you want to stand out among the flowers, it's not enough to rely on your own abilities. You have to rely on the right time, place, and people."
