Ch 295: Imperial Concubine in the Cold Palace 9
The words of a man can be believed? Then sows can climb trees.
Lin Lang didn’t take the other party’s words to heart. She still pretended to be touched, making the other party ecstatic. Alas, living in the palace for a long time, the whole person wears a mask that can’t be taken off.
Zhao Yan is indeed an excellent husband. When he is good to someone, he can’t wait to hold the best things in the world in front of you. This is also the reason why Consort Hua was immersed in love at the beginning.
But it’s a pity that Consort Hua was a love brain. Seeing that her family was failing and her husband had changed his mind, she sought death. Lin Lang would never seek death for a man. She would only live for herself.
Zhao Yan also fulfilled his promise. Although there was no Empress in the Imperial Harem, he never allowed anyone to surpass her. Two years later, he promoted her to Noble Consort under the pretext of bestowing titles on the Six Palaces.
At this time, Lin Lang also saw her stepmother. So many years had passed in a flash, and she was much more lonely and old. When she saw herself, she was also respectful, bending her old waist and respectfully saluting.
Lin Lang told the palace maid to help her up with a faint expression, and then routinely asked a few questions about her family. After all the words were finished, she impatiently sent her away.
The stepmother had no intention of leaving, rubbing her hands, “Since Imperial Concubine is so favored in the Imperial Harem, she should also consider the family. If Master can be valued by The Emperor, I think it can also add a lot of help to Imperial Concubine.”
Lin Lang was amused by the other party’s words. The reason why she was able to be favored in the Imperial Harem for so many years was not because of her face, nor because of her family background. The current Emperor is a cautious person. He has suffered enough from the relatives of the Emperor’s consorts, so he will never establish another woman from a prominent family.
If her father and brothers rise, to put it bluntly, not to mention herself, even her three children will probably be gone.
Lin Lang didn’t know who would eventually ascend the throne, because The Emperor was young and had several princes under his knees. There were also many concubines who were pregnant these years. Until the last moment, no one knew who would win.
“Mother is joking. It is The Emperor’s intention to reuse whom. As an Imperial Concubine in the Imperial Harem, I should abide by the rules. The Imperial Harem must not participate in politics, so mother doesn’t have to say these words anymore, lest she anger The Emperor.”
The stepmother was so frightened that she shrank her head, but she slandered in her heart. If she hadn’t let her stepdaughter enter the palace in the first place, she wouldn’t have such a bright future. How wonderful it would have been if she had sent her own daughter into the palace in the first place.
After sending away the irrelevant people, Lin Lang still had a fire in her heart. If it weren’t for the reputation of her three children, she would have dealt with that family long ago. Fortunately, this family is quite honest, and they have not done anything wrong these years because she is favored in the palace.
Now that she is over thirty years old, she is a middle-aged woman in the eyes of others. Although she is not the most favored person in the palace, she is the most precious person in the palace. Although The Emperor cannot come to see her often, he will send someone to send over anything new or tributes from other countries as soon as possible.
Before, there was an ignorant Imperial Attendant who dared to show her face because she was favored. She didn’t care, but after The Emperor found out, that Imperial Attendant was directly sent to the Cold Palace.
The ranks of women in the Imperial Harem are very low. Except for those who give birth to children or the elderly in the palace, most of them are Noble Lady or Consort, and only a few can climb to the rank of Pin.
The Eldest Prince’s mother is still just a Pin and has no imperial title.
Among these princes and princesses, The Emperor’s favorite is the one who gave birth to three children. Among them, his favorite is the Third Prince. This child is the youngest and has the most mischievous personality. He is so arrogant and domineering that there is no one he dares not to tease.
Lin Lang’s heart is actually worried because her identity is not prominent, her family cannot be relied on, and she is favored by The Emperor, and her three children are also highly valued by The Emperor.
If these two princes cannot inherit The Emperor’s throne, then they will be abandoned pawns in the all-out struggle. If they are lucky, they can keep their whole bodies intact. If they are unlucky, it is estimated that the whole family will suffer.
Lin Lang didn’t want her children to be involved in the risk of the succession struggle, but now she has been pushed to that place by The Emperor. In the Imperial Harem, she really can’t help herself. Sometimes it’s not that you don’t want to do it.
◈◈◈
Lin Lang didn’t understand what The Emperor meant. Besides her son being the most favored, there were two other princes. Because their birth mothers had noble status and their maternal families were rich and powerful, they also had many supporters.
Lin Lang watched them fight back and forth, and her heart was always worried, but the only thing she could do was not to cause trouble for her children, and of course, it was time to add fuel to the fire.
The Third Prince is indeed a smart child. The most important thing is that this child has a calm personality. In short, he is stable, and few things can reduce his emotions.
The road to the succession struggle is extremely dangerous, and many people died during this period, but in the end, The Emperor still chose the Third Prince.
Because what he valued was that he had no power behind him. Even though there was another prince who was smarter, he was still abandoned by The Emperor. Who told his maternal family to be so powerful? The Emperor would not allow himself to appear a second time.
When The Emperor was about to leave, he looked at Lin Lang and said reluctantly: “I still remember the first time I saw you. No concubine has ever dared to climb a tree to pick apricots. No, someone once picked apricots for me… Imperial Concubine Mother… I…miss you so much…”
The only person The Emperor feels most indebted to in his life is his Imperial Concubine Mother. Although he was young at that time, he clearly knew that the reason for his death was that the Empress Dowager needed a prince.
So, he had been swallowing his anger all these years until he solved the Empress Dowager and took back the rights he deserved. But even so, he didn’t dare to let his children suffer the suffering he had suffered again.
After the late Emperor passed away, Lin Lang was in a coma for two or three days, which was considered worthy of their many years of friendship.
Lin Lang became the most honorable woman in the world. She didn’t want to be trapped in this square palace anymore, so she took her personal attendants to a small side hall, where she raised chickens and ducks, living a leisurely pastoral life.
When she opened her eyes again, the task had been completed. She touched her beating heart, which proved that she was still alive.
After calming down, Lin Lang opened the control panel.
【Host: Lin Lang
Age: 48
Mental Strength: 24
Points: 190
Owned Items: Space, Spirit Spring Water, Superhuman Strength】
The points are steadily increasing, and even the mental strength is increasing with it. It’s just that the mental strength is increasing too slowly, and it can only increase by one point at a time. How wonderful it would be if it could increase by dozens of points at a time.
Lin Lang was not in a hurry to do the task, mainly because the last world had a relatively large impact. She felt like she had lived a complete life.
And Zhao Yan, although she had many husbands before, this person was really unexpected. She always thought that he was cold-hearted, but she didn’t expect that he was the most affectionate and righteous person.
Although The Emperor favored Noble Consort Hua at the beginning, perhaps he wanted Noble Consort Hua to compete with the Empress, but he also had some love for Noble Consort Hua. After Noble Consort Hua passed away, The Emperor let go of his family members, and even gave a small title to one of his family members.
Zhao Yan has also been thinking about Noble Consort Hua all these years. Although he didn’t say it, his heart wouldn’t lie. Even several favored concubines resembled Noble Consort Hua for some more or less reasons, which can be regarded as another version of Wan Wan Lei Qing.
