”Your servant congratulates the empress dowager!”

The empress dowager took the opportunity to congratulate Senior Servant Qi on her success, causing the empress dowager to feel a surge of happiness as she hurriedly dug out the longevity lock she'd kept in her possession for so many years.

”This longevity lock was personally made by the late Emperor when he was still alive to give the Emperor a full moon as a gift. Now that the successor to our new generation of Dongfang family is about to be born, I will give him this longevity lock. I hope that he will be like the previous emperor, possessing both the wild nature of a warrior and the benevolence of loving his people. ”

The empress dowager looked at the bracelet shining with golden light with satisfaction, a smile blossoming on her aged face.

It was as if he was seeing the birth of Dongfang Chen's child.

”Esteemed empress dowager, how could you …” Would she allow Miss Ye to enter the palace? ”

Standing by the empress dowager's side, Senior Servant Qi's expression darkened as she asked her questions.

For so many years, the Crown Prince had never married a princess, he didn't even have a single concubine.

Everyone had always thought that the crown prince was tall and clean, but they had no idea that the empress was controlling him.

Ever since she was young, the empress had always taught the Crown Prince not to give their heart to women, even if they liked them.

He had to marry the Phoenixis Maiden and let her become the empress of a nation before he could take her in as a concubine.

However, Crown Prince Dongfang Chen had always been rather filial and obedient to the Empress.

As his mother grew older and more knowledgeable, he also came to a decision.

Dongfang Chen stopped listening to Situ Lan's words and secretly took in a few concubines.

But facing those beautiful girls, Dongfang Chen immediately hated them, the only girls he did not hate were Shangguan Jingyan and the Bai Family sisters.

Ever since those concubines entered the estate, he hadn't touched a single hair on their bodies.

Then, Bai Zhixi and the others appeared, causing his love to sprout.

Unfortunately, Lang You's concubine had no intention to do it, and continued to play with Shangguan Jingyan.

But the sky was unpredictable, how could he know that he would have a husband and wife with a daughter of a city lord?

Now that he had planted the fruit of his love and was the first child of the Dongfang family, the empress had no choice but to acknowledge him.

”What a joke. I am a dignified imperial family who wants to take a woman as an imperial concubine. How could I possibly ask for her permission?”

When the empress dowager heard Senior Servant Qi's words, she slammed her hand on the table. With a cold glint in her eyes, she looked in the direction of the Ronghua Palace and walked towards the emperor's Hall of Announcements.

Seeing this, Senior Servant Qi, who was walking behind her, quickly and carefully chased after her.

She frowned as she thought about what he had asked her to do, and her heart was unable to calm down for a long time.

Li'er, I hope you can gain a foothold in the imperial harem.

”Your Majesty, chenqie will definitely not allow that Jianghu woman to enter the palace.”

The empress dowager had just walked to the door when she heard Situ Lan's biting cold voice, carrying a trace of majesty that could not be resisted.

It was obvious that they knew of this matter as well.

”What arrogant words from the empress. You don't even have the right to decide on Dongjun Kingdom!”

The empress dowager's anger soared as she strode in with large strides. Her voice was bone-chilling, causing chills to run down one's spine.

When he walked past Situ Lan, he gave her a meaningful glance, and his words were filled with warning.

”Greetings, Imperial Mother!”

Situ Lan never thought that the empress dowager's reaction would be so quick. With the situation in front of him, he was afraid that he had lost.

”Muhou, why are you here?”

Dong Aoqing carefully lifted her up and sat on the main seat.

”If I don't come, your grandson will be rejected by others, and might even be killed.”

The empress dowager unhappily replied, flinging out his hand and announcing the rage in her heart.

After Dong Aoqing heard this, a bitter smile appeared in his eyes.

He had heard a bit about Dongfang Chen's situation. It was said that the woman was the daughter of a Fringe City Lord.

But in the Dongjun Kingdom, or even in the entire world, being the right person was extremely important.

Although they didn't mind, in the future, when that woman became the first wife, would she be able to block the crowd's unhurried exit and be on equal footing with the other wives?

After all, in Dongfang Chen's handwritten letter, he had promised her the position of being the Fourth Concubine.

He knew that this gentle son of his would never break his word.

”Imperial Mother, don't worry. That woman will definitely be the head of the Fourth Concubine. Your great-grandson will be born safe and sound.”

Dong Aoqing patted her hands and gave her a definite answer.

”Your Majesty, that woman …”

”Alright, Queen, don't worry! Chen'er had been steady ever since she was young. He had his reasons for doing so. We have to try and believe him. After all, in the end, the mountains and rivers of Dongjun Kingdom still have to be handed over to him. ”

The empress dowager was comforted for offending the empress.

Dong Aoqing walked over to Situ Lan's side and immediately rejected her question and informed her of his position.
