After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Optimal solution
"My poor Luan'er!" Mrs. Wu Dinghou threw her arms around Shangguan Luan, crying heartbrokenly: "Why is your life so hard?"

A layer of tears quickly appeared in Shangguan Luan's eyes, but she still stubbornly suppressed the tears, and even replied with a smile: "What is the mother talking about. I don't think my life is miserable. The emperor's favor, how many people beg for it I can't ask for it."

"Don't worry, Luan." Mrs. Wu Dinghou wiped her tears and stroked Shangguan Luan's face: "Mother will not leave you alone. Since you don't want to leave the palace, I will explain to your sister and let her help as much as possible." You, take good care of you. She is the princess now, and there are not many people who can overwhelm her in the palace. You two sisters help each other, and life in the harem is easier."

The key point of Mrs. Wu Dinghou's words is actually in the second half of the sentence "the two sisters help each other".She certainly hoped that her eldest daughter would be safe and successful, but more importantly, she hoped that her younger daughter would gain control of the harem as soon as possible.

For the current Mrs. Wu Dinghou, Shangguan Jing crossed the emperor's sixth palace and took power in advance, which was the only best solution to ensure the safety of the two daughters.

The younger sister manages the Sixth Palace, and if the scandal between the older sister and the emperor is accidentally discovered, the people in power in the harem and the emperor will work together to minimize the negative impact of this matter.

However, Mrs. Wu Dinghou's words were met with a snort from Shangguan Luan: "Your sister? How can she take care of me? She was reprimanded by Empress Chen in the imperial grandmother's palace yesterday. She has to rely on others to save her. How can anyone help me?"

"Of course you know what kind of person Empress Chen is." Mrs. Wu Dinghou replied, "Even when King Cheng was alive, she didn't give you a hard time. Now the power of the Six Palaces is in her hands, and your sister enters the palace. Soon, although she is a noble concubine, in name, the queen is still the prince's aunt, your sister's mother-in-law, so it will be very easy for her to handle your sister. Recently, although you don't come out of Hanchun Palace often, You should have heard about it, because the emperor asked your sister to host the palace banquet, but Empress Chen put all the blame on Jinger."

"Hmph!" Shangguan Luan snorted coldly with disdain: "That crazy woman! I'm afraid that my little sister will touch her power in the Sixth Palace, so I jump over the wall and bite like crazy."

"That's why I'm worried!" Mrs. Wu Dinghou replied with a sad face: "If she finds out about your relationship with the emperor, wouldn't she be even more anxious? She is the queen, so she naturally has the right to deal with you as she pleases."

"The emperor won't let her do this." Shangguan Luan replied, although her tone was very firm, but her face was slightly pale: "The emperor has always disliked her being so domineering. That's why the emperor came forward to protect the younger sister yesterday."

"Even if the emperor doesn't like her, he can't easily abolish the empress." Mrs. Wu Dinghou replied: "Besides, the empress dowager and Concubine Lin are both eyeing Empress Chen's power in the Six Palaces. If Empress Chen falls, these two people will be Waiting eagerly to pick peaches! It doesn't matter whoever is in power, your sisters' situation in the harem will not be better than it is now. If they find out about your relationship with the emperor, those two will not be able to tolerate it."

After Shangguan Luan was silent for a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "I understand what mother means. Mother has really worked hard for my little sister."

Mrs. Wu Dinghou was stunned, and then quickly took the eldest daughter's hand: "Luaner, what nonsense are you talking about! I pass only your two daughters, both of whom are in the palace, so I naturally hope to make your life as smooth as possible. Said To be honest, I am not worried about your little sister now. She is a princess after all, and no one dares to touch her because of her status. Your sister, who else can you rely on in the palace? What I am more worried about is actually you! After all..."

Mrs. Wu Dinghou's voice dropped suddenly, with a bit of choking: "Even if the emperor treats you well, you are still a woman he can't see. How can you be reassured when you are nameless? I really want to force you out Gong, take you home, come back to me. But..."

"Mother." Shangguan Luan's eyes were red, she held Mrs. Wu Dinghou's hand behind her back, and nodded with tears in her eyes: "I understand, mother doesn't need to say, I will do my best to help little sister."

Received Shangguan Luan's promise.Madam Wu Dinghou was actually in a very complicated mood, and she didn't feel relieved.What she just said was not a lie, if she had a choice, she would rather force Shangguan Luan to leave the palace and return to her side.

After all, this is her eldest daughter who has been on the tip of her heart for a lifetime!She really doesn't want to see her go all the way to the dark in terms of immoral relationships.

But Mrs. Wu Dinghou is also rational.She knew that in the relationship between Shangguan Luan and the emperor, the initiative was not in Shangguan Luan's hands.As long as the emperor refuses to let go, it will be useless for Shangguan Luan to leave the palace.

That being the case, it is better to make good use of it and let the eldest daughter do her best to escort the younger daughter.Therefore, under such circumstances, Mrs. Wu Dinghou hoped that Shangguan Luan could maintain a good relationship with the emperor so that she could be more favored.

However, the relationship between these two people is actually not smooth, and what she told Shangguan Luan is actually almost equivalent to encouraging her daughter to continue to maintain an improper relationship with her father-in-law.

To do such a thing, Mrs. Wu Dinghou was not without a guilty conscience when facing her eldest daughter.

"Luan'er," Madam Wu Dinghou said with tears in her eyes, "it's my mother who's sorry for you. It's all mother's fault for not being able to protect you well, Luan'er..."

Shangguan Luan finally couldn't help crying.The scene of the mother and daughter crying relative to each other is really touching.

But if Shangguanjing was present, he would secretly laugh at Mrs. Wu Dinghou's hypocritical apology, it was almost like a show.

This woman has always been good at binding and using her daughter with emotions, and Shangguan Luan, who has been loved and spoiled by her all her life, was not spared in the end.

And Shangguan Luan also cried very sadly.Of course she wasn't moved by the love and tenderness from her mother, she was feeling sorry for herself.

"The two sisters help each other", in fact, Mrs. Wu Dinghou used to talk about it often.It was just that at that time, she was trying to warn Shangguan Jing that she should do her best to help and protect her elder sister.

Unexpectedly, in just over a year, everything went wrong.Shangguan Luan, who is always superior and enjoys the unconditional dedication of his sister, has become the one who has to give continuously for his sister. Emotionally, she is actually a little unwilling.

But it was just emotional unwillingness. Shangguan Luan was not stupid after all. She knew that Shangguan Jing's quick ascension to power was indeed the best solution to her current embarrassing situation.

　---Here is the dividing line for Mrs. Wu Dinghou's considerations--
　　For her, letting the younger daughter quickly gain power is the guarantee of the eldest daughter's safety.As long as the power of the six palaces is still in Queen Chen's hands, she can't rest assured.

　　The general direction is actually right.

　　But in the final analysis, what this lady is more afraid of is that the matter of the elder daughter will implicate the younger daughter.
