In the eleventh year of Yuanshuo, the situation in the harem began to take shape.
Empress Xiaoyi passed away a long time ago. The emperor remembered his old kindness and could not let go, so he left the queen vacant to mourn her.
Concubine Shun, Nalan Moli, was respectful and docile, and Concubine Hua, Dongfang Ruocilan, had a sweet heart. Both of them gave birth to princes in the seventh year and were favored by the Holy Spirit. The emperor promoted the two of them to concubines and took charge of the six east and west palaces respectively.
Qi Yuan, the son of Concubine Hua, is old, brave and intelligent, so he was the first choice for the high position. However, Concubine Shun was very powerful and had the help of Nalan Jincheng, the emperor's childhood friend and steward, so the courtiers also wanted to join in the service of her son Qi Yin.
Concubine Hua was very worried and decided to recruit people to consolidate her position. He also waited for an opportunity to frame Concubine Shun and her son to eliminate future troubles forever. Concubine Shun learned that she could not sit idly by and watch, but it was difficult to meet Concubine Hua in person, so there was no other way.
At this time, it was the election of Xiu Nu, and Concubine Shun made a plan, deliberately looking for a capable person to support her, and use this person's hand to suppress Concubine Hua.
In the early summer of the eleventh year of Yuanshuo, Mobi, Yi Ronghua, Quan Liangyuan, and Yue Guiren gave birth to the prince Di Ji respectively. The palace was filled with great joy and joy.
It seems calm, but secretly it is turbulent. The concubines have been observing the situation in the palace for a long time, each with their own thoughts, and determined to find a good shade to ensure safety.
