On the day she entered the palace, she came to see me. At the same time, we recalled the scene of her being bestowed a marriage by the empress dowager when she was young, and the Imperial Concubine Zhao said that, unexpectedly, I was more fortunate than her. I became the empress, and she was only the concubine.
She was the concubine and was in charge of the palace, but the concubine seemed very quiet as she quietly followed the Imperial Concubine Zhao, unable to see her mood. Afterwards, Zhang Nan came over to tell me that they had gone to visit Imperial Concubine Zhao and that he had been very rude to them.
In the palace, there was no one who was from an illustrious family, so they were favored by the emperor. The emperor was strong, so he could only show mercy but not be threatened.
Thus, the Imperial Concubine Zhao's attitude had already determined that it would be difficult for her to obtain the emperor's love, and I will carefully remember this, and respect grandfather's teachings, using my grace and magnanimity, and my own conduct to the emperor's satisfaction, maybe I will just request of myself to be a good empress, and when the emperor mentions Jiaxue, I will say, "She is a qualified empress." Maybe that would satisfy me.
Before entering the palace, my grandfather had told me before that the late emperor's concubine Jing Xi was originally the first queen of the late emperor. It was precisely because she was jealous and arrogant that she was crippled.
I heard that she caught a cold on the way, but died of smallpox a few days later. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were very sad, and I also felt sorry for her as she had come from so far away Mongolia Grassland, but she had left early to the West. She had been seized by the title of 'Hui Fei', and now that I thought about it, she was the first woman in the emperor to die, and I … He was going to be the second one.
This year, Yi Nan, Ma Dong, and Dong Dong were given titles successively. Yi and Ma agreed to be promoted because of their father's promotion. Was this their happiness? I don't know, because this year, when Cheng Rui died, the Emperor's people and heart were only with Rong'er. They were merely women who had brought a few more hardships to the imperial harem. Actually, there's nothing to complain about, right? The Emperor is the Son of Heaven, and we are women who are destined to become the Son of Heaven.
Twelve years ago, last year, Zhao agreed, Bu agreed, An agreed, and they all entered the palace at the same time. The emperor's harem was beginning to fill up, and this was the Son of Heaven's harem, right? The seventy-two concubines of the Three Palaces and Six Academies are the imperial harem of the Tang Dynasty in the history of the Central Plains, and now that everyone has been completely cleared up, there is no lack of women. Although this is not how they are called, there is always a lot of women.
I don't know why, but the Emperor seems to have less care for Rong'er as well. I often see the gloomy look in Rong'er's eyes as if he had just lost a prince and lost his favour, and I know that she is very sad. I shake her hand lightly, and she knows what I am going to say.
I — — am Hersheri Jia Xiu, but in this palace, I have only one title: Queen, everyone calls me Queen, even the Emperor has never called me by my name, Queen is a title, it is a responsibility, and at the same time, pressure, every woman in the imperial harem should live together harmoniously, I am cautious, I do not want to end up like the former emperor's wife, so I carefully do what this harem leader does, among all the harem, I try to reconcile everyone's emotions, I think what I did was not very good, but I … I really did my best.
