That was more than ten years ago, when the previous dynasty was full of extravagance and greed. The ancestors couldn't stand the lobbying of local heroes and righteous men, and it was also because the ancestors themselves were dissatisfied with the old emperor and the crown prince.

After a few years, the ancestor overthrew the previous dynasty and changed the country's name to Tian Sheng.

When the Ancestor ascended to the throne, logically speaking, the Ancestor should have had a Matriarch, who even gave birth to a son for the Ancestor. However, after the Ancestor ascended to the throne, he conferred the Matriarch the title of Consort.

Consort De, the virtue of benevolence.

In the past, the Ancestor had contributed towards the Qin family and even paid for it. After he ascended the throne, he had always remembered this matter and brought up a Prime Minister of the Qin family, who was the current Prime Minister of the Qin family. This was still not enough, the Ancestor discussed with Prime Minister Qin, and chose a woman as the empress for the palace, indicating the superior position of the Qin family in the Tian Sheng.

The chosen woman was Prime Minister Qin's elder sister, the then esteemed empress dowager, the current esteemed empress dowager.

The empress had been sent to the palace all those years ago, accepting the fate of her family.

The imperial palace already had Consort De, and Consort De was very popular. As for her, everyone was only respectful on the surface and obedient on the surface.

Consort De had gone through the wars of the ancestors, and her scheming mind was not something the queen, who spent her days in her room, could compare with.

The empress wasn't very happy with her daily life. She had been worried all day, Prime Minister Qin had visited the empress several times before, but the empress had expressed her unwillingness to be the empress. She was under a lot of pressure, and was physically and mentally exhausted.

At that time, the empress had yet to gain a foothold in the imperial harem, and her mind was wavering. Prime Minister Qin naturally knew. ”For the Qin family, for the glory of our bloodline, the empress must work hard.”

The empress didn't listen to his advice, but still found it difficult to bear the oppressive atmosphere of the palace day after day. She wanted to flee at all costs until one day the empress became pregnant and a dragon appeared in her womb.

The empress's nature changed. For the sake of the children, she would fight for them, even if it meant fighting with all her might. My son would trample on them, no matter what.

Prime Minister Qin was naturally happy to see the empress's transformation. He picked a beautiful woman from a branch of the Qin family and sent her into the palace to take care of each other.

Prime Minister Qin naturally wanted the empress to protect her son in this messy harem so that he wouldn't be tricked and lose the dragon seed in the end.

Prime Minister Qin was not just randomly chosen. He carefully selected a smart, knowledgeable, and beautiful woman to be sent to the Imperial Palace. This person was the later Chenfei, the mother of Prince Zhan Chu Xiuhan.

Before she entered the palace, she had already reached the stage of discussing marriage. Although she was a side branch of the Qin family, she was a side branch with a lot of connections. She didn't have a high position in the court.

He hadn't thought that Prime Minister Qin would choose someone to accompany the empress, but he'd picked her instead.

Chenfei's parents rejected the man who came to propose and called for the guard to beat him out.

The man was heartbroken. He heard that he had left for the border and had never returned to his hometown ever since he became a soldier.

Chenfei's parents had always felt that entering the palace was a great thing. Originally, their family's small courtyard wouldn't be their turn, but who would have thought that their luck would be so good?

In the past, Chenfei had argued with her parents that the Qin family already had an empress, and now they were selecting people from their family to enter the palace. There would definitely be no good things happening, and there would definitely be some sort of conspiracy.

How could Chen Fei's parents listen? Prime Minister Qin had promised that once his daughter entered the palace, the emperor would immediately bestow the title of concubine.
