The Paulownia Court

In this chapter of the story, there's and emperor who loves a lady very much, the problem is that she is very sick, she is barely at the court and the other ladies kind of hate her and her son. One day the lady got very ill and died leaving behind the emperor, her mother and her son who lived at his grandmother's house until the emperor ask for him to go back.
The boy was the favorite of the emperor so he was sent to school and they took really good care of him; but there was another lady, the first on the emperor's life who was jealous of the boy because she didn't want him to take the throne instead of his son, but the boy was still very young.
I think it's the typical story of everyone being jealous of everyone and it gets pretty messy until somebody realizes the one they hate is not that bad and they are friends at the end. Anyway, it's just the first chapter, who know :)
