The Crown Prince Is Expecting

I am the empress of Great Wei.

Like so many other consorts, I was taken into the emperor's harem because of my illustrious family background.

However, because my father was fiercely loyal, my family had no legitimate sons, and my maternal clan posed no threat to the emperor, I was made empress after giving birth to the eldest son.

My son was named crown prince.

But the boy is a complete fool. He spends all day idling about like a fluttering butterfly, getting into trouble and neglecting his studies. He has never once managed to handle the affairs the emperor assigns him.

Consort Xiao's son, the third prince, is exceptionally clever and well versed in government affairs. Noble Consort Zhang's son, the seventh prince, is a skilled martial artist and an expert in military strategy.

If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is bound to happen.

My son is so useless that he'll surely be deposed one day.

And once he is, his birth mother, me, will be in for a terrible time.

The entire imperial harem will belong to Consort Xiao and Noble Consort Zhang.

I worried day and night, and used my father's connections to consult all kinds of strategists, hoping they'd come up with a solution for me.

One person suggested that I hurry and have the crown prince father a son, kill the emperor, and make Consort Xiao and Noble Consort Zhang follow him in death. Then I could raise my grandson well, kill the crown prince, frame the third and seventh princes, and have them executed together. From then on, I'd become the Grand Empress Dowager, monopolize power, and live in splendor.

The plan sounded wonderful, but reality was harsh.

My son is a fool. Did you think I wasn't one too?

How could I carry out such a complicated scheme?

And where did these crooked ideas come from? They're so wicked. Are you even proper strategists?

Forget it. I've consulted so many strategists, and not one of them is any use. None of them knows how to start from reality.

I'll just think of something myself.

After much hard thought, I came up with a brilliant plan.

I found a few fertility pills for the crown prince. He may be useless, but at least he's handsome. I'll have him seduce the third and seventh princes. If he can bear them children, wouldn't that solve everything?

Then I won't have to worry about court affairs or leading troops.

This really is the most practical plan.

Right, son?
