Chapter 10: Starting with Raiding and Exile 7
The male concubines in Qingmo's backyard were all well-behaved and served Qingmo to a satisfactory degree. They were provided with food, drink, and money, and were allowed to go out without any restrictions.
A few years later, Qingmo actually got pregnant. She had been taking birth control pills all along, but she never expected to get pregnant like this. Judging by the date, it should be Ouyang Chen's.
She didn't favor anyone else during that time. She hadn't originally planned to have a child in ancient times, but since she got pregnant, she gave birth anyway. She had the spiritual spring water, so she wasn't afraid of a difficult childbirth.
Ouyang Chen was overjoyed and treated her like an empress dowager, afraid that she might bump into something.
Ouyang Chen truly loves Qingmo. Although Qingmo is somewhat fickle, it's always been a case of the strong man and the weak woman, or vice versa.
If men can have three wives and four concubines, why can't women have three husbands and four wives?
The patriarch was just a little philanderer, and Ouyang Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
Rumors circulated that Qingmo was a harlot who loved young men, but she didn't care about reputation.
Qingmo touches her eight-pack abs every day, focusing on her pregnancy. Whenever she hears her younger brother call her "sister," she gives him a real reward.
The male and female leads, on the other hand, are not having a very good time.
From a mere concubine to the current Consort Xue, it's clear how much the Emperor loves her.
Over the past three years, the female lead and the women in the male lead's harem have been constantly fighting each other. Today, this concubine falls into the water, tomorrow, that noble lady is drugged, and even the female lead suffers a miscarriage.
The female lead is the female lead after all. As soon as she entered the harem, she won the emperor's favor. For the sake of the female lead, the emperor neglected the three thousand concubines in the harem and chose the female lead to serve him for three consecutive months.
This caused an uproar in both the imperial court and the harem. Everyone impeached Jiang Qingxue as a bewitching concubine who had seduced the emperor. You must know that the new emperor had not yet given birth to any princes or princesses; they had either died young or miscarried.
That's probably the power of the plot. In his past life, there was only the female lead who gave birth to a prince. In this life, he can only wait for the female lead to give birth again. Who can blame him when the male and female leads are true love?
To consolidate his rule, the emperor had no choice but to start favoring his concubines again. It was truly a helpless situation…
This jerk was incredibly aggrieved. He felt he only loved the female lead, but he was forced to have sex with women he didn't like. He was extremely frustrated.
Hmm~ He loves it so much, he's a hypocrite who wants to pretend to be virtuous.
A man who cries for water five times a night, an emperor who needs to sell his body to satisfy every concubine—he really is... I'm going to cry my eyes out! A pure love god!
Two years remain before the female lead becomes pregnant and gives birth to the crown prince. Right now, she spends her days looking at the young man in her heart, indulging in nightly revelry, and lingering in bed with different women, her face constantly wet with tears.
On one hand, I comforted myself, "My young man, he loves me. He's just trying to appease the court and the harem. It doesn't matter, as long as he loves me."
On the other hand, I started to ask myself, he said he loved me, but I was exiled for five years, he had many wives and concubines, I couldn't sleep alone, while he had a warm bed.
For four years in the deep palace, I was tormented by the Empress and targeted by the concubines. He only told me to be patient, and that when he had power, he would make her second only to the Empress, dismiss the harem, and promise her a lifetime of love and companionship.
The miscarriage was clearly caused by Consort De, whose father was a powerful general commanding an army of 200,000.
So, she was only grounded for six months and fined a year's salary, while I suffered a miscarriage and was unable to conceive again.
He always says he loves me, but he's never done anything to show that he loves me.
Ah, my young love, you've ultimately misplaced your trust.
Everyone said that the emperor doted on Consort Xue, staying with her every night, and devoted himself to protecting her during his five years of exile, vowing to be with her for life. But alas, the deep palace was unbearable, and his devoted heart was misplaced.
From age 15 to 28, she was no longer young, while his harem was full of beautiful girls, teenagers, as young as flower buds.
What makes people think that emperors were truly devoted to one another? It has been a truth that has been summarized by generations of people since ancient times, but people just don't believe it.
Many women in the world believe that royal families have always produced romantics, such as the story of the king who played with the feudal lords by lighting the beacon fires and the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty with a single laugh, and the emperor who had three thousand concubines in his harem and was the emperor’s favorite.
How many emperors actually gave up their empires for a woman? They all wanted both beauty and power, but they couldn't have both. So who chose beauty?
It was nothing more than a femme fatale being chosen by a doomed monarch to bear the infamy for all time.
Jiang Qingxue, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, who was once high and mighty, is now nothing more than one of the resentful women in the deep palace.
Meanwhile, the people were still praising their new emperor for his profound love.
Do you think he loved? He might have loved, but that's all.
I never doubted sincerity, but sincerity can change in an instant.
