That's right, although the Emperor said to bring Chun Hua over to serve him, how could he bear to let Chun Hua serve him? If it wasn't because his status didn't allow it, he would have wanted to serve Chun Hua.
For the first time, the Emperor's heart was moved. He wished he could give everything he had to Chun Hua. If it wasn't because Chun Hua's status was too low and he already had someone as the Empress, the Emperor would have wanted to confer Chun Hua as the Empress.
However, he wasn't willing to confer Chun Hua as an imperial concubine because imperial concubines had to live in the harem. If Chun Hua went to the harem, wouldn't he have to walk a long way to see Chun Hua in the future? Of course, it was also possible for Chun Hua to walk over by herself. However, the Emperor was reluctant to let Chun Hua leave. Thus, he only promoted Chun Hua to a palace maid but allowed her to live in his side palace hall.
The Emperor didn't understand love affairs. In the past, he only thought about the carpentry work. Now, he felt that he liked Chun Hua. On the same day, he placed all the things he made in the past in the side palace hall where Chun Hua lived. After he finished placing the furniture, he took out all the things from his private storage and placed them in Chun Hua's side palace hall.
After he finished tidying everything up, he asked people to tidy up his bedding and gave it to Chun Hua. Only then did he return to his own palace.
Chun Hua knew that the Emperor was a good person, but she didn't think that he would be this good. Looking at the things placed in the room and the Emperor telling her to wait after she woke up before he left, Chun Hua's young girl's heart couldn't help but burst out.
Chun Hua and the Emperor, one was in love and the other was in love. After a month, the Emperor directly let Chun Hua move into his room. Although she didn't have a status, with the Emperor's love for Chun Hua, there wasn't much difference between having her and not having her.
The Emperor also promised Chun Hua that if Chun Hua was pregnant, he would confer Chun Hua the title of Imperial Concubine. If Chun Hua gave birth to a child, it would be the Crown Prince.
Thinking about the Crown Prince, the Emperor's eyes instantly lit up. He secretly scolded himself for not thinking about it.
He didn't really want to be the Emperor. When the Crown Prince grew up, he would pass the throne to him. Then, he would be able to do carpentry work with Chun Hua. Thinking about this scene, the Emperor's heart was especially excited. It was to the point that he was especially busy every night to create a Crown Prince.
The matter between the Emperor and Chun Hua was rather secretive. Only the people in the Emperor's palace knew about it. However, the people in the Emperor's palace were all found by Qi Nan. It was impossible for them to betray the Emperor.
However, the matter was so strange. In just one night, the matter between the Emperor and Chun Hua was spread to everyone. Even the matter of Chun Hua giving birth to a prince after she got pregnant and was crowned as the Crown Prince was spread out.
The Second Prince and the Third Prince were both very happy that the Emperor was not interested in women.
After all, even with Qi Nan's help, when the emperor was old and had no children, the crown prince would naturally find one of their children. Even if they couldn't become the emperor, their child could become the emperor.
But now, not only did the Emperor have a woman, but he also had plans to crown the Crown Prince. This instantly destroyed the Second Prince and the Third Prince's plan.
Second Wangzi and Third Wangzi had missed out on the throne because their appearances weren't as good as the Emperor's. They already had a bellyful of anger. If the Emperor gave birth to a child, with Qi Nan watching over him, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to touch the throne in this lifetime.
Second Wangzi and Third Wangzi were extremely anxious. As they thought about it, they set their sights on the Prime Minister.
If they were to talk about who in the imperial court could compete with Qi Nan, if the Prime Minister said that he was second, no one would dare to say that they were first.
The Prime Minister had countless students and his daughter was the Empress. Naturally, he had the ability to compete with Qi Nan. In the past, Second Wangzi and Third Wangzi didn't look for the Prime Minister because the Prime Minister's daughter was the Empress.
But now, the Emperor had been married for so many years. Other than spending a night in the Empress's room on the day of the wedding, he spent the rest of his time in his own palace.
If the Emperor continued to stay, even if he didn't want a child, the Empress's position as the Empress Dowager would be stable. But now, the Emperor already favored another woman and even said that as long as this woman got pregnant, she would be conferred the title of Imperial Concubine. If she gave birth to a prince, she would be conferred the title of Crown Prince.
This was a blatant slap to the Prime Minister's face.
The Prime Minister wasn't a magnanimous person. If he was magnanimous, he wouldn't have run to the Emperor and said that the Emperor wanted to abdicate.
But now, the Emperor was slapping the Prime Minister's face. If the Prime Minister didn't do something, he would be sorry for his narrow-mindedness.
In just one day, the two Wangzi came to find him. The Prime Minister said that he would think about it, but he had already made up his mind.
Naturally, the Emperor couldn't continue.
Not to mention that the Emperor didn't have much power in his hands, the Prime Minister was disappointed when the Emperor said that he would confer the child of this woman of unknown origin as the Crown Prince.
After thinking about it, the Prime Minister went directly to the palace to see the Empress.
When she saw her father, the Empress's face was full of hatred.
She had no love for the Emperor. What she hated was that this woman was sent by Qi Nan.
Moreover, when she thought of how well Qi Nan treated Jiujiu and ignored her, the Empress couldn't swallow it. At this moment, when she heard the Prime Minister's intention to rebel, the Empress thought for a while and agreed.
After all, even if she continued to waste time in the palace, she still couldn't get the Emperor or Qi Nan. Instead of getting nothing, she might as well help the Second Prince and the Third Prince.
She was still a virgin. No matter which Prince Second Prince or the Third Prince ascended the throne, they would have to serve the Prime Minister. She could still be the Empress if she wanted.
Since she could always be the Empress, why should she stay here and waste time?
Since she decided to tie the Prime Minister down, the Empress immediately made a plan.
Because she had the system, the Empress didn't plant any spies in the palace for so many years.
Moreover, because the Emperor was too obsessed with carpentry, Qi Nan didn't want to dirty the Emperor's eyes. Therefore, Qi Nan basically dealt with it in private.
Therefore, the Empress had been very comfortable in the palace these two years. But because of this, she increasingly felt that the palace fights and conspiracies she saw in modern times were all lies.
According to the theory of evolution, people were always improving. Therefore, no matter how smart the ancients were, they couldn't be compared to modern people, let alone her, who had the system.
The Empress's plan to help the Prime Minister was very simple. She directly had someone send soup.
Yes, there were Gu worms in the soup.
The Empress was so brazen because Eunuch Fu had already come to her to express his loyalty. Otherwise, this kind of news would have spread.
Of course, Qi Nan also had some intentions for it to spread.
After the Emperor and Chun Hua were lovey-dovey, Qi Nan had the idea of dealing with the Second Prince and the Third Prince.
