Chapter 1105 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (two hundred and twenty-seven)
It is difficult for people to remain humble and cautious all the time when the future is bright. Neither the empress nor the concubine can do that.
Just before today, Concubine Shu always thought that she was the emperor's favorite concubine. Even though the struggle for imperial power was full of ups and downs, she and her children were still safe and sound. This was not only because she was able to judge the situation and had a deep mind, but also because of the emperor's tolerance towards her.
Just as her daughter found the queen an eyesore, Concubine Shu also thought that it would be better if the queen died. She didn't want her son to ascend the throne and have two empress dowagers.
Just like after the current emperor ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager, the legitimate mother, and the Empress Dowager, the Holy Mother, were both in the same palace, and the Empress Dowager, the legitimate mother, was the most respected.
For more than ten years, the concubines had to pay their respects to the two Empress Dowagers every day, rain or shine. And because the Empress Dowager, the legitimate mother, made great contributions to the emperor's ascension to the throne, everyone respected the Empress Dowager's wishes even more.
Concubine Shu put herself in the shoes of the recently deceased Empress Dowager and couldn't help but feel suffocated. No wonder the Empress Dowager had basically stopped caring about everything. It was because for more than ten years, she was afraid of a conflict between her and the Empress Dowager and embarrassing her son. Even after the death of her mother, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager's style did not change.
Concubine Shu didn't want to have to look at the Queen's eyes in the future. After all, according to the ancestral etiquette, she could not compare with the Queen, the legitimate wife. Even if Zhao Yu would definitely favor her, she would always compromise with the Queen for the sake of face.
When the emperor was critically ill years ago, Concubine Shu had prepared herself to become the empress dowager. Unfortunately, nothing is certain, and the emperor's illness gradually recovered.
The emperor also found a powerful wife for her son, so that after his son ascended the throne, he could continue to use the Guo family army. As for Wei Ying, he had achieved a position that countless people dreamed of at such a young age. To be honest, Concubine Shu was wary of him and worried that Zhao Yu would not be able to control Wei Ying.
Concubine Shu has long regarded the world as hers. Even if she appears gentle on the surface, she is arrogant in her heart. Influenced by this, the Eleventh Princess also feels that she will be the emperor's sister in the future and will be different from others.
When Concubine Jia cried to the emperor, the Eleventh Princess rushed forward and pulled Concubine Jia out of her father's arms, stretching her face aggrieved and complaining: "Father, it was not I who killed the Fifteenth Imperial Sister. Concubine Jia is so arrogant and domineering. What right did she have to hit me in front of so many people?"
Princess Eleven truly felt wronged, but she hadn't expected the Emperor to slap her across the face. He angrily said, "How dare you quibble? Little Fifteen has been harmed like this by you. He's truly unruly and ignorant of etiquette."
"Father, you hit me! I'm your most beloved princess, and you hit me for a four-year-old! Why didn't you hit Zhao Yi?" "You two have completely disgraced the royal family. I didn't pursue it last time, but this time you've gone even further. I've heard that all this trouble was caused by you. You even spied on the emperor with ulterior motives."
"Father, my son and I have been wronged!"
The emperor looked at his unconvinced daughter and was too lazy to pay any more attention to her. He directly ordered that the ninth princess and the eleventh princess be beaten with five sticks each and confined to their homes for three months. At this time, an imperial physician hurried forward to tell the emperor that the ninth princess was pregnant.
This kind of royal secret should not be announced to the emperor in public, but the emperor has already ordered people to prepare all the necessary items for caning. If the Ninth Princess is caned, she will be frightened and the fetus will be unstable. It is estimated that she will have a miscarriage or even heavy bleeding, and her body will be completely ruined.
And the Ninth Princess was just about to stand up and beg her father for mercy.
By then, if the emperor regretted his decision and felt sorry for his daughter, the unlucky person would still be him, the imperial physician.
When the emperor heard that the Ninth Princess was pregnant, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. Didn't Xiaojiu take the contraceptive pill afterwards?
The Queen Mother was seriously ill at the time and was unable to discipline Xiaojiu. Didn't Xiaojiu understand? Didn't the Queen give the order?
He cursed angrily, "Every one of you is an idiot. Queen, how do you manage this harem? And you, the royal princesses and wives, have stood by and watched while things have turned out like this today. Have you had enough of this drama?"
When the emperor was angry, everyone had to kneel on the ground.
