Chapter 5 — In this life, I am fighting for harmony, pushing me into the Eastern Palace

Khuong Van Uyen blamed everything on me. For the sake of this Queen's seat, she had exhausted everything, endured the suffering of two human lives, yet in the end she ended up with such an outcome. She was angry, resentful, unwilling, and unyielding. If she doesn't live peacefully, she won't leave me alone either. She wants to return. She doesn't want to be Queen anymore. Facing that half-human, half-ghost monster, Khuong Van Uyen's heart almost stopped beating. The monster didn't say a word, directly biting her neck hard. She clearly felt her blood vessels being torn, the blood in her body flowing little by little. Not long after, Khuong Van Uyen discovered she was pregnant. The child of that monster. She was disgusted and resentful, but at the same time secretly felt lucky. At least, in this strange land, she still has a drop of blood to keep her company. But later, when he found out, he brutally ripped the newly formed child out of her belly. But she cannot die. She still has to return to Dai Chu. She still has to take revenge. At this time, I, as Queen, of course have to make the harem and descendants flourish. Therefore, I proactively arranged for the concubines to serve the emperor one after another. The concubines were overjoyed. If I don't have this opportunity, I'm afraid it won't be my turn until the next life. The concubines came early to give thanks, so grateful that they shed tears. When having dinner, I gently reminded the emperor so it rained evenly. The Emperor looked at me with confusion, but did not speak. That means tacit agreement. That was his previous habit. After eating, we went to the royal library to review the feedback on the effectiveness of the measures being implemented, and at the same time begin planning the next step. Continue to promote reform, reform the land regime, and reduce the tax burden on farmers; continue to encourage educational culture, attaching importance to fostering and selecting talented people; Open more specialized schools, training people who can apply the practice of governing the country, not those who are only good at talking on paper. As for the emperor, someone I arranged brought him to Phi Truong's palace. Truong Phi is the concubine who accidentally broke the white jade screen of the Concubine. Since that time, her personality has calmed down a lot.

“Where are you going?”

The Emperor was halfway there when he noticed something strange.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to visit Concubine Truong's palace."

“Who said I wanted to go to her?”

“This is the Queen's arrangement.”

Hearing the emperor's cold questioning voice, the little eunuch broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. After hearing the little eunuch's explanation, the emperor's face immediately darkened. He tried to suppress his anger, waved his sleeve and turned around. While I was calculating the next step in the plan, the emperor suddenly pushed open the door and entered. I immediately sensed a bad aura. Could it be that being served was unsatisfactory? This possibility... is not impossible.

“Giang Nam, you are truly my good Queen ——”

“Even me, you dare to make arrangements?”

"General Khuong really raised a daughter who is talented and generous enough to push me to another woman."

Turns out he was angry about this. Also blame me for not telling you clearly before.

“They are all His Majesty's concubines, wherever they go same. Your Majesty should always stay at my place, not to mention the harem, at that time even the court will be dissatisfied with me."

“Your Majesty should also sympathize with my concubine's dilemma when being Queen. The ministers have long been displeased with me. If I don't even know how to behave in the harem, I'm afraid the day of being dragged out to sacrifice to heaven is not far away."

I talked incessantly for a long time, but I don't know how much he heard. He looked at me deeply, then waved his hand, slammed the door and left. So maybe… it's okay now? I let out a sigh and continued to deal with the task at hand. The next day, Thi Truong specially came to thank me and also brought some tea. It is said that it is her maternal specialty. I tasted it, it was truly a rare and delicious tea, with a pure flavor that penetrates people's hearts.

"You must know how to seize the opportunity, and declare it as soon as possible for His Majesty."
