Chapter 43 The Emperor's Growth Plan (41)

Although men in this era were allowed to have three wives and four concubines and have children in groups, the issue of having a boy or girl was not a human decision, even though many people believed that it was easier to have a girl than a boy.

Even if there are girls in the family, there will always be a time when they are married, but there are so many powerful and powerful families, and they are not accepted. At this time, the role of boys is reflected.Not to mention those aristocratic families with withered descendants, wishing to use boys as girls.

A capable boy is the hope of the family and will take on the mission of revitalizing the family.Those with mediocre qualifications have become bargaining chips for marriage.

This type of marriage is most common in the royal family.

There are many royal heirs, and there is serious rivalry between brothers.

If the emperor wants to crush his brothers and secure the throne, it is essential to consolidate the imperial power, and marrying a powerful family with real power is the best choice.

The aristocratic families are also happy to see this method, and actively send their children to the harem to achieve the purpose of establishing a kinship relationship with the royal family and maintaining the power and grace.

Women are naturally the first choice, because they can spread their branches and leaves, and if they are lucky, they can even become relatives of the new emperor.In fact, there are no women of the right age, and men can make do with it. After all, there is a bright relationship.

Although Dayuan is open enough, the bad custom of inequality between men and women still exists. In this era of male supremacy, women have a low status, and they are the best choice for marriage. Glass and lilies are not allowed on the surface.

Knowing the whole story, many of the strange things that happened before make sense.

Empress Dowager Zhou repeatedly stated and implied that she wanted to select "two women". Even the night before the palace election, she did not forget to send someone to remind her. It turned out that it was not only to emphasize the quantity, but more importantly, the gender.

Are you afraid that she will end up choosing two men after pretending to be flattering?

Empress Dowager Zhou's mind is obvious, this is for the sake of her children.

No wonder the Empress Dowager Zhou was impatient, Long Yufeng was in his late twenties, and he only had one son and one daughter, both of whom belonged to the late Empress Meng's family.

Long Yufeng was not a serious person, there were only five people in the mansion before, and after the Xiao family entered the mansion, no newcomers were confiscated.After ascending to the throne, under the pressure of the Queen Mother Zhou, he took in a few concubines, but they have been raised so unsaltedly, with little favor.

The two children were born before Concubine Xiao Gui entered the mansion. Since she entered the mansion, she has been the only favorite, and no one else has the opportunity to have them.

Although Concubine Xiao Gui had great favor, she never conceived.It wasn't that she didn't want to, it was that the Queen Mother Zhou secretly obstructed and drugged her.

In order for King Xiang to enter the palace, Concubine Xiao Gui, besides ruining Long Yufeng's reputation and the loyalty of the ministers, has another plan to give birth to an imperial heir, take the child with her to command the princes, and help King Xiang seize power in a legitimate way.

The Empress Dowager Zhou had doubts about Concubine Xiao Gui, but because there was no evidence, Long Yufeng was devoted to protecting Concubine Xiao Gui, preferring to kill her by mistake rather than let her go. Finally, Empress Dowager Zhou secretly prescribes the medicine, which makes Concubine Xiao Gui's desire to give birth to an imperial heir impossible.

The medicine was a secret recipe that my father and brother found from the folk before entering the palace when the Empress Dowager Zhou was a girl. The imperial physicians seldom knew about it. In addition, if the dose was small each time, there would be no discomfort symptoms. It was not easy to detect. Also completely destroyed.

At this time, the imperial doctor could diagnose it naturally, but under the instruction of the queen mother, she kept silent and only coaxed her body weakness, doing some daily recuperation.

Concubine Xiao Gui was unable to give birth, but Long Yufeng focused on her, the Empress Dowager Zhou was naturally anxious about the emperor's heir, so she repeatedly threatened and lured the emperor to choose a concubine.

In the palace of the imperial city, every word is inseparable from tricks, and every step is scheming. Even simple things can't escape a terrible end, and it's not a fuel-efficient lamp to become a queen mother.Since she was determined to want the emperor's heir, she might not be able to tolerate perfunctory.

Qi Xue's gaze sank slightly, and she began to think about countermeasures.

While thinking wildly, all the children of the family to be selected have left.

"Your Majesty, we have already left." The little eunuch reminded.

Qi Xue came back to her senses, and led a group of followers back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
