His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Chapter 73 Sending someone to stare at her

Cui Wan originally wanted to see what her plans were, but instead waited and listened to her ramblings.

She was a little tired, and she was ready to see off the guests after serving tea.

But Wu Liangyuan didn't want to leave, she thought over and over again, and said:

"My concubine, I don't want to bother with this matter, it's really... not worth it for you! After all, they entered the palace together, and there was some friendship in the boudoir back then. I can't see you being wronged like this."

Cui Wan was stunned.

Why didn't she know how much friendship she had with Wu Liangyuan back then?
Also, what does it mean not to see her being wronged?
What wronged her...

When Wu Liangyuan finished speaking, Cui Wan felt that she had to tell her to leave quickly, otherwise she might not be able to help but laugh out loud on the spot.

This would hurt Wu Liangyuan's heart too much for "being wronged for her".

"I know, you go back first, I'll think about it."

Wu Liangyuan thought she had listened and was about to leave.

"Yes, this concubine will leave now. If the side concubine needs anything, just send someone to order it."

For such a big matter, she had the courage to speak out, but she was also very disturbed in her heart.

The bet is that Concubine Cui, like her, regrets that she cannot conceive.

Now that you can have a child of your own, isn't that better than anything else?
She has completed half of what her aunt told her, and the big stone in her heart has fallen to the ground.

Now there is Concubine Yang's side, it is inevitable that some people will be suspicious, she has to wait two days before going.

After Wu Liangyuan left, Lvying brought the little maid up to clean up the leftover tea and put out new refreshments.

She was guarding outside just now and heard what Wu Liangyuan said.

"Master, you..."

Do you really want to do that?

A few days ago, the master punished himself for disrespecting Chen Liangdi, but now his master wants to plot against Chen Liangdi.

But she also knew that what Wu Liangyuan said was right, in this harem, if she didn't have her own heir, she would be like a living dead in this life.

The imperial concubine didn't have any children of her own back then, didn't she also adopt the second prince?

Although the second prince failed to become the crown prince, he guarded the border, made king and worshiped generals, and the noble concubine is still beautiful today.

Chen Liangdi and her master have always had a good relationship, if the child is raised by the empress, wouldn't she be at ease?

Cui Wan didn't answer her question directly, but for the first time taught Lu Ying seriously:
"Glory and wealth turn your head empty, Luying, do you think it is easy to be the concubine of the prince? Because I am the daughter of the Cui family, I am a concubine, but that's all. Besides, my grandfather is about to retire, and the Cui family is undergoing a change of power. When I lie dormant and wait for the future, what am I fighting for? And what are I fighting for?"

Their Cui family is considered to be a family with a clear mind. They don't want to be the emperor, nor do they want to hold the power firmly in their hands.

What they care about is whether their ambitions can be displayed. If the world is muddy and the ruler is cruel and heartless, their Cui family will assist Mingjun to take advantage of the situation.

This is the lesson they have learned countless times from nearly exterminating the clan, and they learned it from the Xie family.

The founding empress of Dajing came from the Xie family, who had experienced ups and downs for hundreds of years. Every few generations of the Xie family, there would be one person who became a marquis and worshiped the prime minister.

Afterwards, the rapids retreated bravely, and both of them started well and ended well.

On the other hand, Cui Shi is also the head of this generation, that is, her grandfather understood this truth.

Of the previous generations, which one left Shangjing alive?
Now is the time for their Cui family to step down.

Why did my grandfather prefer to push Zheng Yuan to be the order of Zhongshu, and let her father go to Qingzhou to be the governor?

Because her elder brother is the one who is more capable of taking over Zhongshu Province than her father.

Cui's resignation is now so that her brother can gain a firm foothold in the court smoothly in the future.

The emperor will not allow a family to continue to have power in the court unabated from generation to generation.

But this is exactly what the aristocratic family is after. They are afraid that once they leave the center, they will lose their power.

Therefore, the conflict between the emperor and the aristocrats cannot be reconciled unless one side takes a step back.

The late Emperor and His Majesty seem to have taken a step back, but it seems like her grandfather took that step for her elder brother.

The step back by the two generations of emperors was to let the prince go one step further.

She already understood this truth.

Her kindness to Chen Liangdi has nothing to do with whether she is the one chosen by the crown prince.

It also has nothing to do with whether she is pregnant or not.

She told Lu Ying the last sentence, regardless of whether she understood it or not.

Finally, Cui Wan ordered,
"Send someone to keep an eye on her and see where she's been these days."

She was talking about Wu Liangyuan, Luying agreed, and retreated with a thoughtful face.

***

The next day,

The Crown Princess had just finished paying respects to the concubines in the Eastern Palace, so she tidied up a bit and went to the Queen's Palace to pay respects.

The queen was wearing homely clothes, reclining with her eyes closed on a pillow with peony patterns embroidered with gold silk on a red background.

The crown princess greeted her, but she did not open her eyes to take a look.

The last time I left after being reprimanded by my aunt.

Now she doesn't scream, and the princess doesn't dare to move.

After a while, the queen rubbed the center of her brows, opened her eyes and looked at her with lowered eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

"Okay, sit down!"

The princess got up and thanked in a deep voice: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your forgiveness."

"It doesn't matter if I am lenient or not. As a princess, you should be more lenient."

The empress spit out such a sentence unhurriedly, and the movements of the princess who was just about to sit down froze.

The empress didn't care, and continued:

"Chen Liangdi is pregnant, this is the biggest matter in the East Palace now, as a crown princess, you have to pay extra attention."

The Crown Princess reluctantly agreed, "Yes, I know about it."

She knew this day would come, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

Just as I was about to watch Jiang Fuxuan's jokes on the front foot, I and my father were slapped in the face one after another.

Rao had been prepared in his heart, but he also felt uncomfortable sleeping and eating at this moment.

There is something in my heart that seems to be about to break out of the cage immediately, it is a devil, and once released, it will be beyond redemption.

The queen sized her up again, and finally sighed.

"You are still young, and you still have chances in the future. The crown prince can't neglect you for the rest of your life. Finding opportunities can always win the crown prince's heart."

The princess said "Yes", but knew in her heart that she had no chance.

She had done too many things in the Eastern Palace, and this was the only thing my aunt knew about.

But the prince already knew it all.

Even the Wang family's eyeliner in the East Palace has been pulled out a lot.

The aunt and nephew chatted for a while, and it was getting late.

When the crown princess left, the queen said to her earnestly: "Huan'er, no matter what happens in this palace, this child must be born, do you understand?"

Wang Huan.

The boudoir name of the princess.

The queen called her this way not only as the mother of a country, but also as her own aunt.

She was begging her to let the prince's first child land safely.

After that, no matter what she wants to do to the child's mother, she will let her go.

The princess didn't respond, but she knew that she couldn't refuse.

　This person seems a little silly. . .But that's the only way I can write.
