Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

However, if Liu Shoufu's political enemy did this, he would not be able to cause trouble for him. At most, he could only get angry a few times.

But Liu Shoufu's political opponents didn't know about this at all, so they naturally wouldn't admit it.

But it doesn't matter whether the other party admits it or not, because Liu Shoufu feels that the other party deliberately refuses to admit it, not because he doesn't know.

Anyway, the two sides are evenly matched now. It will be difficult for Liu Shoufu to suppress the opponent. After all, the opponent is not a vegetarian. Even if they are evenly matched, Liu Shoufu can still suppress him.

Before, Liu Shoufu was powerful because the new emperor was supported by Liu Shoufu, and the queen was also from the Liu family. Many people felt that Liu Shoufu had a bright future, so they all went to Liu Shoufu's family.

But now, many people have heard that Queen Liu is domineering in the palace. The emperor does not like Queen Liu and has another favorite concubine. In addition, Queen Liu has never given birth to a legitimate son in the palace, and her future is uncertain. In this way, Liu Shoufu will be with him once Evenly matched, it would be difficult for Liu Shoufu to use the support of the emperor and the power of his daughter as queen to attract more people to join him.

And this was his chance. How could he let Liu Shoufu regain the lost share of power?

Speaking of which, this is the benefit that the situation in the palace is different from before. Otherwise, the emperor would still support Liu Shoufu as he did when he first came to the throne, and then Queen Liu would also be favored. Then there would be many people who took refuge in Liu Shoufu, and he would not be able to Maintain this share of power.

So it can be said that time also dictates fate, and Liu Shoufu's good luck seems to have come to an end.

The situation in the previous dynasty affects the situation in the harem.

Liu Shoufu lost power and was almost as powerful as his political opponents now. The emperor became trembling and ignored Queen Liu. He even did not go to Queen Liu's place on the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, but only went to An Ran's place.

Don't think that this is favoring An Ran. In fact, it is just the emperor trying to use An Ran to piss off Queen Liu. After all, until now, this bitch emperor has not really slept with An Ran. Real favor is not like this.

——Actually, the emperor now has some feelings for An Ran, and he can be truly favored, but... he has never been favored before, but he claimed to be favored. Now that the emperor wants to truly favor An Ran, how will he explain to An Ran how he was favored before? One thing?

This incident embarrassed the emperor, so he didn't know how to deal with the relationship with An Ran, so he simply maintained the previous status.

It's just that this idea only existed in the emperor's mind. He didn't tell anyone, so An Ran didn't know about it.

It is normal for the emperor to do this, because An Ran's power has risen anyway, and Empress Liu can't do anything to An Ran. In this case, it is most suitable to use An Ran to anger Empress Liu. After all, using someone else would be too powerful. Worse, the emperor still has to worry about taking advantage of the other party and causing the other party to lose his life.

Although he is the emperor, it is an honor to die for the emperor, but today we are not that kind of tyrant, and we will not intentionally kill people unless we have to.

But if you use An Ran, you don't have to worry about this at all, and if An Ran is favored like this, it will make Empress Liu even more angry.

In fact, after Liu Shoufu suffered successive setbacks and his power was greatly reduced, and the emperor no longer had to pay too much attention to Queen Liu's face, the emperor promoted An Ran to a higher level, to a noble concubine. This would not only make An Ran's status higher and higher, but also make him angry. To the queen.

In addition, Yu's father was given the title of viscount.

The reason why he was given a title, not a promotion, was because his father failed to pass the Jinshi exam, and there was a threshold limit for further advancement. Since he couldn't be promoted, he should be given a title, which would also increase his rank.

Viscount is the fourth rank. Now that his father and mother are out and about, he is the fourth rank. He belongs to the middle and upper class in the capital.

Moreover, there is still room for further improvement in title. After all, the emperor cannot give him everything in one go. He is only a fourth-grade viscount at the moment, but in the future he can be promoted to a third-grade earl, a second-grade marquis, or the like.

Another advantage of the title is that the viscount can be demoted to the next generation. In other words, the son of his father and mother is also guaranteed. Unlike before, although his father has been promoted, if his son has no future, he will have no future. , it’s good now, and there will also be a baron leading the guarantee.

Yu's father and mother saw that their family also had a title. Although it was only a lower title, it still had a title, and Enron was still developing, and the future was promising.

Now I can't help but talk about this in casual chat.

"The Queen Mother's family has a title, and so do we. Although it is a bit lower, we can still advance in the future. The gap between our two families is finally getting smaller and smaller." Father Yu said.

Yu's mother nodded: "That's right. Before the queen came to the palace, our family had no place to talk in front of Duke Cheng'en's mansion. We had to fawn over them, for fear that if we didn't fawn well, they would cause trouble for us. Now it's better, the empress is favored in the palace, we don't have to fawn over them, we even dare to quarrel with them, maybe we can be on an equal footing with them in the future."

Father Yu nodded and said: "Take your time, now we just want to see how to let the girl give birth to a prince. Without a prince, it is always unsafe."

When Yu's mother saw that there was no one around, she whispered to Yu's father: "Sir, tell me, is there something wrong with Your Majesty? Your Majesty does not only favor your mother-in-law, but also favors others. How come no one is pregnant after so many years?" "

Father Yu frowned and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Wasn't the queen pregnant before?"

Yu's mother said: "It's not that your Majesty is completely incompetent, but there are some conditions."

When Father Yu heard this, he said: "If this is really a problem for His Majesty, then our family must quickly think of a way and prepare for the worst."

Mother Yu sighed, nodded, and said, "That's not true. If that's the case, it's best to ask the empress to help our family find a higher title. Even if we can't have a prince, we can earn a future in the future and have a family. It’s not bad to get a better title.”

Yu's father said: "Watch it first and wait until we get to that point. Otherwise, if we make demands before we get to that point, His Majesty will think that our family is greedy and he will be unhappy. Anyway, Your Majesty has it in mind. He doesn't need us to mention it. Give us a knighthood."

Yu's mother secretly thought the same thing. The emperor had remembered them all these years and had given them a lot of benefits, so she stopped talking about it at the moment.

In fact, not only his father and mother were worried about the emperor's condition, but the emperor himself was also worried.

An Ran was not pregnant. The emperor knew why, because the two of them did not have sex. However, he had sex with other concubines. How come none of them were pregnant? It's been so many years, it shouldn't be.

Queen Liu was not pregnant, and he knew why. Because he had become more and more disgusted with Queen Liu over the years, and occasionally when he had to have sex with Queen Liu, he would drink a medicine to inhibit sperm activity before having sex.

In case the medicine didn't work, she also listened to the imperial doctor's advice and specifically chose to have sex when the woman was less likely to get pregnant, so it was normal for Queen Liu not to be pregnant.
