Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 171 The Emperor and the Queen Mother Dislike Each Other

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Emperor, the Empress, the Retired Emperor, and the Queen Mother sat together, discussing which of the beauties should be kept. There were also two uninvited people sitting in as observers. These two people were the Third Prince Xuanyuan Mo, and Prince of Fu, Xuanyuan Ze.

The retired emperor was very depressed. Why did they call him over for this matter in the harem? Didn't he know that he particularly disliked the empress dowager? As a result, his unfilial son argued: "That was the person you married back then. You can't just bring trouble to me. You can eat two less bowls of rice when you see her. I'm thinking about your health. You are so fat. Eating less can help you lose weight..." Every word really hurt his heart.

The retired emperor really didn't want to come. Didn't you see that in order to avoid seeing that man, a dignified retired emperor lived alone in a remote little palace where he lived when he was a prince. But this unfilial son stayed in his little courtyard and refused to leave, and he was helpless.

The retired emperor was depressed and the empress dowager was also angry. The retired emperor was too much. Since he abdicated, he has never visited her Cining Palace once. She went to see him with good intentions, but he claimed to be sick and didn't even let her in. Except during the holidays, she couldn't see him. After a long time, she gave up on him. Now the two of them are tired of each other and ignore each other.

The Third Prince was brought here by the young Prince Fu. His brother Huang was worried about whether his sister would be chosen (Xuan Ge'er certainly couldn't say to his face that he didn't want his sister to enter the palace). He went to the scene to get first-hand information and informed his brother Huang. In order not to appear awkward going alone, he also brought the Third Prince, who had other ideas, along.

Now that the Great Xia Dynasty is peaceful and prosperous, the emperor's position is stable, and there is no need for the daughters of high-ranking ministers to enter the palace to stabilize the throne. So the emperor can choose the person he likes without having to worry about anything else.

"Anyway, Rou'er and Miss Shi must enter the palace." The Queen Mother began to show her unreasonable character again, making the Emperor and Empress speechless. As for the Supreme Emperor, he couldn't even look at her. He thought that he must have been possessed by a demon at that time and fell in love with this woman.

"It seems that I haven't lost enough face today and haven't learned my lesson yet." The queen muttered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. The entry of Xu Rou into the harem was already enough of a headache. And Shi Yaoyao was obviously in cahoots with Xu Rou. If these two entered the harem and joined forces with the empress dowager, she would not be able to live.

The emperor is too lazy to even look at his own mother, and only glares at his father. He is also a good pretender, and now he is actually resting with his eyes closed. Can't he take care of his woman?

Forget it, it’s not easy for my father to deal with such a person all his life. The emperor suddenly felt guilty and said nothing more. He let his father go. Since it was a foregone conclusion that these two people would enter the palace, it would be useless to say anything.

He had no impression of these beauties, nor could he remember their appearances. The only thing he remembered was that pair of dark eyes, which seemed to be able to see into his heart at a glance. Where had he seen them before? He began to lose his mind again.

"Your Majesty, those two are not easy to deal with. They are two troublemakers. If they get into the harem, they might kill everyone in your harem." The little Prince Fu was rude. She just couldn't stand the Queen Mother's dead look.

The queen was applauding the little Prince Fu in her heart. The little Prince Fu said what was in her heart. She really wanted to suggest to the emperor that the Prince Fu should be kept in the palace. Seeing him arguing with the queen mother every day, she could eat an extra bowl of rice every day.

"Your Majesty, the Retired Emperor, you two just let this man bully me." The Queen Mother was so angry. The Emperor was fine, but was the Retired Emperor blind? Didn't he see that his woman was being bullied?

The retired emperor didn't even raise his eyelids. He only spoke to the young Prince Fu: "It's a foregone conclusion that these two people will enter the palace. Just choose a place for them to live and ignore them. If they dare to do anything weird, their families will be punished as well." Although he was talking to the Prince of Fu, everyone could hear the threat in his words.

"You...you..." The Queen Mother was shaking with anger. The Emperor was threatening her. She was his biological mother. How could he treat his own mother like this?

No one present stood on her side, including the third prince. If he put himself in her shoes, he would not be able to tolerate it like his eldest brother if his mother gave him two such disgusting people. He would definitely turn hostile.

"Your Majesty, take a look at these beauties and see if there is anyone you like." The Queen came out to smooth things over. She was the most appropriate person to speak now.

The emperor was looking through the list of concubines. The list included each concubine's name, family background, home address, and what official positions their father, brothers and family members held in the court. The introductions were very detailed. He only knew that the concubine's surname was Huang, and there was only one person with the surname Huang on the list. He was familiar with her father and brothers. The new top scholar Huang Zixuan, whom he valued, turned out to be her brother.

The young Prince Fu looked at the emperor worriedly. Secretly, she hoped that her adopted sister would enter the palace. Her adopted sister was so good that she could only be given to the royal family.

However, he was unhappy when he heard that those two bad women were also going to enter the palace. What if his adopted sister entered the palace and those two women were so bad that they killed his adopted sister? He had to keep an eye on it to see if he could stop it if the emperor had this intention.

The third prince held the same idea as Prince Fu. It would be best if the emperor did not choose Huang Xiunu. That way he would have a chance.
