Chapter 1093 Extra : Cao Yuyan (Part )
With this guess, the next step is verification.

I already have a prince, there's no rush.

There will always be people who can't sit still, and Miao really took the bait!

However, His Majesty protected her too well, and Miao couldn't find an opportunity. But the more this happened, the bigger the noise would be later.

I raised my children peacefully and steadily, sitting in a high position, and watching them fighting with each other was a spice of life during the boring days in the palace.

Miao prepared for a long time and finally found an opportunity.

Through her, I confirmed one thing: there was indeed something wrong with the Fourth Prince Zhao Yu.

are you happy?
Naturally happy.

Although my Rui'er is the legitimate son, Your Majesty favors Zhang so much, it is hard to say who will be the crown prince when they grow up.

Now it has been confirmed that the child has a mental problem. Even if Your Majesty loves Zhang to the core, it is impossible for him to entrust the country to a child with a mental problem.

His child, without a doubt, will be the future emperor.

As long as the child can sit in that position, I can tolerate Zhang's presence for the time being.

If I had not been plotted against and unable to get pregnant, perhaps I would now feel sympathy for Zhang, who lost three princesses in infancy and gave birth to an imperfect child.

But now, no more.

I only care about my Rui'er.

It was New Year's Day and Zhang said she wanted to dance.

There were so many people there at that time. She was His Majesty's concubine. It would be inappropriate for her to dance in front of so many people. His Majesty naturally didn't want to do that.

I didn't know why at that time, but when Zhang looked at me pleadingly, I actually wanted to help her.

I always feel that there is a determination in her eyes.

I never thought that Zhang would leave suddenly.

I knew that Zhang was in poor health, but I didn't deliberately ask about it. So I didn't know that Zhang was actually very ill. She had been holding on for several years because of Zhao Yu, fearing that if she died, Zhao Yu would not live long.

When she entrusted Zhao Yu to me, I felt relieved about all the grievances she had brought upon me in the palace.

After all, she is also a pitiful woman.

Her background forced her to fight.

In the harem, as long as there is a fight, you will offend people. Not only me, but all the women in the harem regard her as a thorn in their eyes and want to get rid of her as soon as possible.

She never just faces me, but the hostility of the entire harem.

As a mother, a mother who lost three children in a row, after I became a mother, I could understand her previous paranoia.

There is something she said that is very true.

I am the queen, so I look down on her methods. If I were in the same position as her, what I would do might not be better than her.

Your Majesty knows about the rift between Zhang and me.

So when I agreed to raise Zhao Yu as my own, he was still a little bit unconvinced.

whatever.

I couldn't believe it myself, but I actually agreed to Zhang.

I kept thinking about what Zhang said before she died.

Does Your Majesty really love her?
What is love?

I have been in the palace for so many years and I still don’t know!
The two brothers have a very good relationship. Apart from Zhang, Yu'er is a very obedient child, and I really like this child.

It's not about acting.

Every time His Majesty comes over, he is delighted to see the happy Yu'er and the calm Rui'er.

Because there are two princes in my palace, and His Majesty is getting old and rarely visits other palaces, if they want to see the emperor, they can only use the excuse of paying their respects to me and staying in the Qingshou Palace for a while before they can see him.

After a long time, Miao naturally became dissatisfied.

I saw all of this.

She just wondered how long she could endure it. Finally, she couldn't hold it back any longer and was so bold as to join forces with Princess Pu'an.

Princess Pu'an is ambitious, but she wants to rebel.

In the end, His Majesty showed mercy and spared her life for the sake of the eldest princess.

The princess didn't know the real situation at that time and thought that I had joined forces with Princess Rui'an to deal with Miao, which led to Miao being confined.

Regarding Miao's matter, all the concubines in the harem behaved themselves.

Even the flamboyant Yang family became silent, probably because they were afraid that I would deal with them next.

I am too lazy to explain this.

I thought the official would at least be able to protect the children and raise them, but I didn't expect that the official's health deteriorated and he passed away when Rui'er was twelve years old.

Didn’t you say you would protect us for a few more years?
Rui'er is still young.

No matter what, Rui'er finally sat on the supreme throne.

I also became the Queen Mother.

Seeing Rui'er growing up day by day, the court and the harem were all concerned about Rui'er's lifelong affairs, but he suddenly decided to go on a secret visit.

I know he wants to get away from it all, and since the world is peaceful now, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go and take a look.

Just go.

I didn't know that I would be away for a whole year.

When he came back, the court officials and the harem brought up the old matter again, but Rui'er was determined not to take a concubine.

He has reached the age for marriage, but he is so resistant. From my experience, he must have a woman he likes, but that person is not easy to take into his harem.

I have a vague guess.

I also secretly worried whether my guess was true.

If it is true, with Gu Ziyuan's current prestige in the court and his identity as Princess Rui'an, would he directly sideline the emperor?

It's not impossible.

So I am against the possibility of Gu Yanxiao becoming the queen.

But we can't cause unpleasantness with the emperor.

So he secretly contacted several imperial censors and asked them to help at the critical moment.

What I didn’t expect was that the emperor was willing to let Gu Yanxiao be the queen, but Gu Yanxiao was not happy.

I don’t know how to describe how I felt at that time.

Don't know what's good for you?

Anyway, I feel uncomfortable. My son is the emperor, the Son of Heaven. No matter how noble her status is, she is still the daughter of a minister. She actually despises the emperor and is unwilling to enter the palace.

If you don't want to, forget it. I will find the most gentle, virtuous and dignified queen in the world for Your Majesty.

See how she regrets it then.

After talking to the emperor several times, I finally convinced him to take a concubine, and I thought I would have a grandson soon.

The fact is, the emperor did all this to shut up the ministers and me. I felt terrible at that moment, and I was ashamed of what I had done during this period.

Why do you think Gu Yanxiao is ungrateful?

Is it because I had no choice at the time and had to enter the palace, and because I could not win the heart of His Majesty after entering the palace, so I naturally felt that as long as I entered the palace, I must be prepared to not be loved?
When did I, Cao Yuyan, become like this?

When I realized that the emperor intended to dismiss the concubines in the harem, I only gave him a symbolic advice and didn't say anything else.

Otherwise, even if I tried my best to stop him, it would have been impossible for him to send the women in the harem to the nunnery so easily.

During this period, Your Majesty expanded the territory.

His prestige in the court grew day by day.

I know he is paving the way to marry Gu Yanxiao.
