Chapter 7 — Tam Thai Khuynh Dao Harem

Ly Phuc Hai bowed his head, not daring to answer. So Lang Uyen's voice was cold:

“I already have three children.”

"In the womb of the Royal Highness, there is still my child."

“If they still criticize a little, tell them to do it themselves.”

I burst out laughing when I heard it. So Lang Uyen raised his eyes and looked at me.

“What are you laughing at?”

I said:

“If your Majesty's words get out, the royal historians will crash into the pillars.”

He calmly said:

“Just stab.”

“The pillars in the palace are very strong.”

I laughed even harder. This time, I'm pregnant with twins. The system warned me: 【Detected number of fetuses: two.】 【Gender: one boy and one girl.】 【Congratulations to the host, the three-year goal of carrying five children is almost completed.】 I mentally calculated. If the birth goes well, within three years there will be five children. This system is indeed not misnamed. By mid-pregnancy, our appearance is upgraded again. The woman in the mirror's skin was as white as frozen fat, her eyes were sparkling, and her body, although plump because of pregnancy, was not at all heavy. A few new maids entering the palace secretly said:

“Your Royal Highness has a peerless appearance.”

That word reached the Queen Mother's ears, she coldly snorted:

“Love you.”

But when she turned around and saw me leading the Great Prince into Tu Ninh Palace to say goodbye, she couldn't help but smile. The eldest prince, just over a year old, already knows how to call softly:

“Royal Ancestor Mother.”

No matter how much the Queen Mother hates me, she cannot refuse this little nephew. What's more, I let the Great Prince personally give you a string of Buddha pearls.

“Mother, the child still misses you.”

The coldness on the Queen Mother's face finally faded. The system asked me: 【Host, are you planning to attack the Queen Mother?】 I said:

“It's not a strategy.”

“But division.”

An enemy is not necessarily an enemy forever. If you want to survive in the harem, in addition to being rebellious and humiliating, you also have to know how to use advantage. The Queen Mother may not like me. But she must understand. My children and I are the strongest support in her old age. The second birth was even more favorable than the first. This time it's dragon and phoenix fetus. The little prince was born first, the little princess was born later. So Lang Uyen hugged two children, the whole person was stunned. He looked at me, his eyes red again.

“Yeu Yeu.”

“There are five kids.”

I smiled weakly.

“Your Majesty counted accurately.”

The system was so excited that it almost exploded: 【Ting! Congratulations to the host for completing the main goal of carrying five children in three years!】 【Rewards given: fifty years of life increase, permanent physical enhancement, maximum poison radar, open the system store's advanced powers.】 【Additional reward: destiny of the phoenix family.】 【Reminder: the host is eligible to be promoted to Queen.】 Also on that day, So Lang Uyen issued an order. Established To Yeu as Queen. The six palaces were shocked. The court was shocked. This time the Queen Mother did not stop him. She looked at the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in diapers, remained silent for a long time, then just said:

“The great ceremony to confer the Queen, must be done thoroughly.”

I know. She finally accepted. She does not accept my background. But accept the five children born to me. She also accepted the fact that in So Lang Uyen's eyes, I was indispensable. Also accept that she herself has no way back. On the day of the great coronation ceremony, I put on my phoenix robe. Nine hemorrhoids, four phoenixes, golden light flows. From Thua An Palace to Thai Hoa Palace, the long palace is covered with carpets red. Phung, the mother who bullied me a long time ago, died in the Noble Concubine's case. The concubines who used to laugh at me for my lowliness now all kneel on both sides, no one dares to raise their heads. We ascend step by step to the jade level. So Lang Uyen stood at the highest place waiting for me. He held out his hand.

“Yeu Yeu.”

I placed my hand in his palm. He said in a low voice:

“From now on, you will stand shoulder to shoulder with me.”

I look at the civil and military mandarins in the court. Look at the concubines bowing their heads. Look at the distant sky above the palace wall. Three years ago, I was still just a tea-waiting maid who was almost forced to drink poison and pushed down a well. Three years later, I became Empress Dai So. The system said softly in its head: 【Host, congratulations.】 This time it was not noisy. It seems genuinely happy for me. I smiled.

“Let's have fun.”

After being appointed Queen, the first thing I do is not pay off the harem. It's about reorganizing the Thai hospital. Dai So's harem has not had children for many years, not only because of the poison in So Lang Uyen's body. But also because the concubines continuously drugged each other, silently harming each other for many years. Musk, rose, medicinal herb, heavenly scent. Almost every sign can dish out a little dirt. I ordered a thorough investigation. Anyone involved in poisoning or plotting to harm the royal family or concubines will be dethroned in the least, and in the worst case, they will be put to death. For a moment, everyone in the harem was uneasy. Someone cried and begged me.

“Your Majesty, I was only instigated by others.”

I looked at her.

“When you drugged someone else, did you ever think that she also wanted to live?”

No one dares to answer. I don't like abuse. But I don't like people who say women should make things difficult for women, and turn their backs to poison others. Palace fighting is not impossible. But if you put your child and your life on the line, then you have to bear the consequences. The noble concubine voluntarily left the palace to practice. Concubine Thuc was demoted to Qin. The rest were quieter than ever. So Lang Uyen asked me:

“Are you tired?”

I sat in Phuong Nghi Palace, looking through the books.

“It's okay.”

“She was born not long ago.”

“I can handle it for you.”

I raised my head to look at him.

“Your Majesty will deal with it with thunderous tactics.”

“What I do is to make them understand the rules.”

He looked at me and suddenly burst into laughter.

“Yeu Yeu is becoming more and more empress-like.”

I said:

“My concubine is already the Queen.”

He took my hand.

“Yes.”

“My Queen.”
