She has a slender figure, wears light and elegant clothes, and speaks and behaves generously. But deep down, I don't think she would be His Majesty's type. For His Majesty, Sima Ai is too dull and it is difficult to whet his appetite. This young and carefree Zhaoyi always likes to come and chat with me. It's a pity that poetry and poetry are not my specialty, and she doesn't know anything about bowing, horseback riding, or shooting, so in the end I can only talk nonsense. But she was really upset about my being demoted. "Men and women accept or accept each other with or without intimacy, which is a courtesy; a sister-in-law who supports her with her hand is a right. After all, the Prince of Yinling's family is also a scholarly family. He doesn't even understand this truth, right?" Looking at her slightly excited expression, I smiled, "It's all just a false name, just like the clouds in the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Concubine Yun, it's good!"

With Feng Baizhan's rich family background, this Bai Ling'er is the most gorgeously dressed and the most enchanting. In addition, she has a charming look and a voice that makes men fall asleep.

As soon as it gets dark these days, His Majesty will happily run to hang out with Bai Ling'er until dawn. Your Majesty, you are a playboy at heart after all. The last one is called Wang Chuchu, which is also my least favorite. She is the niece of Wang Xian and Wang Feng'er. The little girl is not very young. Every time she sees me, she puts on a bitter and resentful look. Every time I see Wang Feng'er, Wang Chuchu always follows her. After I finished saluting Wang Feng'er, Wang Chuchu would bow to me slightly with a straight face, which was regarded as her saluting me. One time, before I could go far away, this little girl said to her little aunt, "Aunt, please quickly ask your Majesty to grant me the title of concubine. I don't want to pay tribute to this wild woman!" An Chunhai was a little angry when he heard this. He made a face and shouted that he wanted to argue with me. I quickly stopped him and told him that I understand your filial piety, but there is no need to be angry with such a person. Ordinary life day after day. Wang Ziwei and Xia Zhengwu are also growing taller day by day. In the blink of an eye, they have changed from babies who can only babbling to little brats who pester me and ask questions every day. Especially Wang Ziwei, this girl's personality is a bit like mine, she is carefree, and she also pays attention to the clear distinction between love and hate when dealing with others. Because I heard that Sima Ai came from a Qingliu family and had a lot of knowledge, Wang Ziwei pestered her to teach her how to read and write. Sima Ai had nothing to do, so she couldn't stand Wang Ziwei's nudges, so she tried to teach her how to read and write. After teaching for a short time, Sima Ai was very impressed with her and told me that although Wang Ziwei was young, she was a natural scholar. Whether it was a collection of classics or history, or poems and songs, Sima Ai would often teach them twice. Wang Ziwei would soon understand the principles, and be able to draw inferences from one instance, learn and apply them flexibly, and begin to comment on the people and things around her. For example, when it comes to Xia Zhengwu, her principle is that no one can bully him except me and my mother. Even His Majesty, she shows no mercy. Xia Zhengwu was always a little jealous of His Majesty because he came less frequently. One day, His Majesty became interested and wanted to tease him, but ended up crying. Wang Ziwei angrily rushed to His Majesty, stretched out her hands to protect her younger brother, and would not allow His Majesty to touch him again. When I saw this, I quickly wanted to pull Wang Ziwei away, but His Majesty stopped me. His Majesty asked her with a smile: "Xia Zhengwu is my son, why don't you, little girl, allow me to touch him?" "He is His Majesty's son, but Your Majesty has not educated him very much. It is mentioned in the Three-Character Sutra that it is the fault of a father if he does not raise him. Your Majesty is a person with faults, and you can only touch him after he has corrected himself." His Majesty was scolded by such a little girl in front of him, and it was hard to say anything to her, so he had to say to me: "It's true that you gave birth to this girl. She has exactly the same temperament and temperament!" But thanks to Wang Ziwei, His Majesty will visit me much more frequently in the future than in the past. What surprised me the most was that this girl would actually stand up for Sima Ai. One day, she actually said angrily to His Majesty in front of Sima Ai: "Although Aunt Sima is His Majesty's concubine, Your Majesty rarely goes to see her. She is so young and beautiful. If she hadn't entered the palace to marry His Majesty, how many people would have pursued her outside? Didn't Your Majesty delay Aunt Sima's prime years?" As soon as Wang Ziwei said these words, everyone present felt a little humbled. His Majesty could only pretend to be angry and ask her: "Who taught you these words? I am the emperor, and all the concubines in the palace are my wives. Who do I want to find? Do I need you, a little girl, to tell me who I want to find?" "But your majesty is so unfair!" Wang Ziwei was not afraid at all and looked up at his majesty, "Your majesty, you are the emperor. When it rains, God knows how to favor one person alone." I saw that Wang Ziwei was getting more and more outrageous, so I tried to stop her, but His Majesty seemed to be angry, and then asked her: "Who said that I only favor one person?" "Everyone in the palace knows that His Majesty went to Liufang Pavilion to find Bai Zhaoyi." After listening to Wang Ziwei's words, His Majesty's face gradually darkened. When I saw that this girl's talkativeness had made His Majesty unhappy, I gave her a few words of reprimand. Unexpectedly, the little girl actually cried and said, "I'm not wrong! Books say that guarding the people's mouth is better than guarding the river. Instead of scaring others, making them afraid to speak, and turning yourself into a blind and deaf person, it is better to listen to other people's opinions." After saying this, she actually turned to His Majesty and asked: "As the emperor, shouldn't your Majesty follow the good?" Her reasoning was so eloquent that His Majesty blushed and was speechless for a moment. Seeing Wang Ziwei crying so hard, His Majesty couldn't bear it after all. He stood up, picked up Wang Ziwei, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said: "You are right! I have written it down. I want to be the Holy Son of Heaven respected by all people, so why won't I accept what others say from the bottom of their hearts?" His Majesty turned to Sima Ai beside him and said, "You have done a good job as a teacher. Wang Ziwei is only a few years old, and you have made her understand a lot of truths. I didn't realize your strengths before, but I really saw them today." Ever since Wang Ziwei started crying, Sima Ai, who was rarely favored by His Majesty, found out less than three months later that she was pregnant with a dragon. Bai Ling'er, who had been favored every night in the past, found that His Majesty's visits to her were no longer as frequent as in the past.
