"Mother, I really don't understand what you are saying." Han An raised his head with a firm look in his eyes, "I just went to chat with Master today. So, I don't understand what mother wants to know."

"It seems that you have a backer, so you are much more confident now!" Concubine Wan raised her eyelids, glanced at Han An, and said lightly, "But, is this backer really willing to be your backer?"

Hearing this, Han An's face suddenly changed, "Mother, what do you mean?"

"Don't you really understand what I mean?" Concubine Wan sneered and said, "Han An, the Imperial Master is indeed back now, but as her disciple, do you still have a say in front of her now?"

There were no secrets in the palace. After Han An came out of the Imperial Master's Hall, her absent-minded look was enough to make people guess that her meeting with the Imperial Master was not a pleasant one.

"Master is just angry with me temporarily." Han An bit his lip and said, "Master is the best to me. She will definitely forgive me in the end."

"If that's the case, then that's the best." Concubine Wan nodded and continued, "Han'an, you've been married to Chenyu for more than ten years, right?"

Han An's heart skipped a beat when he suddenly heard Concubine Wan's question, but he could only bite the bullet and nod, "Yes, mother, your daughter-in-law has been married to the prince for thirteen years."

"It's been thirteen years!" Concubine Wan nodded, then changed the subject, "It's been thirteen years, and you still haven't given birth to a son or daughter for Chenyu. Do you think you've been a good enough wife?"

Although it was just a few words, Han An's face turned pale. Concubine Wan was telling the truth, and she couldn't refute it. She could only choke and say, "Please forgive me, mother."

During these ten years, Imperial Concubine Wan had given the prince so many concubines and maids that she even had fewer opportunities to sleep with the prince.

When she was young, she was tortured too much by her biological parents, which made her weak and it was not easy for her to get pregnant. Now that there are so many more women in the mansion, she has less chance of getting pregnant.

"Han'an, I think you are a smart kid." Concubine Wan looked at Han'an and continued, "So, you should know in your heart that if you want to gain a foothold in Prince Yu's Mansion, you must have your own value. Otherwise, no one can predict how long you can stay as Princess Yu."

Han An panicked, "Mother, my daughter-in-law——"

Concubine Wan raised her hand and stopped Han An from speaking. "I don't want to hear anything you want to say. Everyone can say nice words. But not everyone can do nice things."

"The Imperial Preceptor has returned, and the Emperor still respects her. If the Imperial Preceptor is willing to speak a few words for Chenyu in front of the Emperor, then the Emperor will definitely value Chenyu even more."

Han An opened his mouth, "Mother, I——"

She didn't know how to answer. She really wanted to help the prince. If it was before, she might go to her master to ask for help. But now her master has made it clear that he is no longer willing to accept her as his disciple. She is not sure whether her master will be willing to see her next time she goes to ask for an audience.

Now Imperial Concubine Wan asked her to speak well of the prince in front of her master. It was not that she didn't want to do it, but she simply couldn't do it.

However, she didn't dare to say such words in front of Concubine Wan. If Concubine Wan knew that she and her master had broken off the relationship, she was sure that her position as Princess Yu would be over.

"Han An, you shouldn't be unhappy about such a small matter, right?" Concubine Wan glanced at Han An with a half-smile, "If you can't even do such a small matter, then you don't deserve to stand by Chen Yu's side."

Hearing this, Han An was anxious in his heart, but his face remained calm, "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, mother, your daughter-in-law will definitely do a good job." After receiving Han An's affirmative answer, Concubine Wan nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Han An, you should know that the emperor is old, and it is time to appoint a crown prince."

"There is only one high position, and everyone is eyeing it. Who will win in the end will depend on whose strategy is better. However, we have one biggest advantage right now, and that is the Imperial Master."

"We all see how much the emperor values ​​the imperial tutor. As long as she is willing to recommend Chenyu, there is a great chance that Chenyu can take that position. Han'an, a wife's status depends on her husband's. By then, you will be the mother of the country!"

These words immediately made Han An's mind come alive.

She is also a woman, and as long as she is a woman, there is no one who does not desire that position. Now the opportunity is in front of her, she must not lose it.

When he thought of this, a hint of ambition flashed in Han An's eyes!

Naturally, Concubine Wan also saw through Han An's little trick, but she continued to sip tea and try snacks without exposing him.

Ambitious people are easy to use! Han An's little tricks are not good enough in front of her!

The two people in the hall each had their own thoughts, but they had a common goal, which was to let Prince Yu sit on that throne.

On the other side, Zhong Nianyao received news from Nalandeyi, saying that Princess Mingyue had arrived and was in the imperial study, and now asked her to come over.

Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen also walked towards the imperial study together.

In the Imperial Study Room——

Princess Mingyue Nangong Xin was kneeling on the ground with her head lowered, not daring to even breathe.

Although she is a princess, she is not a member of the royal family!
The reason why she was able to be named a princess was because of her parents.

Her father was a great general of the Li Kingdom. He died on the battlefield in order to resist foreign enemies. Not long after that, her mother also died for love. In the end, she was left alone.

Afterwards, she was conferred the title of princess and brought into the palace to be raised by the empress dowager.

However, although she was nominally raised by the Queen Mother, in reality she was mostly served by palace maids. And when she came of age, she was immediately granted a Princess's Mansion and began to live outside the palace.

She was very surprised to receive a sudden summons from the palace today, but she did not dare to delay at all and entered the palace immediately.

However, what made her feel uneasy was that the palace servants had always had a perfunctory attitude towards her since she entered the palace.

After she came to the imperial study and paid her respects, the emperor let her kneel on the ground as if he had not noticed her existence at all. (End of this chapter)
