The struggle for rebirth is in the harem

Chapter 315

After the No. [-] Scholar Banquet, the fact that the third prince got His Majesty's private seal was widely circulated inside and outside the palace, and it also earned him the reputation of Zaohui, which made Concubine Ning unhappy.

After all, Liu Yan was also known for his precocious intelligence back then. Seeing his extraordinary talent, the third prince couldn't help suppressing her son's limelight and stealing Liu Yan's way.

Liu Yan has already been married and made Donghai Duke, and because he is young, he has no outstanding achievements to attract everyone's attention, and he can no longer rely on his intelligence to create a sense of presence in front of Liu Heng.

Having a younger brother who is smarter, this cannot be regarded as a disadvantage for Liu Yan, who does not have enough capital.

And since Liu Yan opened the mansion and got married, Concubine Ning could no longer see her son every day as before.Soon, like the previous queen, she discovered the unfavorable factors from the joy that her son was finally independent and able to develop power, that is, her influence on her son was decreasing, and she was somewhat beyond her control over what he did outside.

In fact, without Concubine Ning's help to discuss and plan from time to time, Liu Yan also made a foolish move on his own initiative.

He was too eager for success and wanted to get the family's help. He openly pleaded for the family at court, but was scolded by Liu Heng. Concubine Ning who could hold her breath also dropped the cup in her hand angrily.

Looking back, naturally Liu Yan was reprimanded by Concubine Ning again. Liu Yan also learned a lesson from this defeat, and stayed in the palace all the time, not rushing in again.

After admonishing her son to be patient, Concubine Ning was always concerned about Liu Yan's future.Although he came from a noble family and had a high-ranking father-in-law, but now Liu Heng's series of measures are hitting the family, and they can't help him at present.

But the third prince has an uncle who entered the cabinet at a young age and has a bright future, and the third prince's mother and concubine are still the imperial concubines who favor the harem, so His Majesty will naturally look at him more differently.The third prince's unique advantage made Concubine Ning very uneasy.

Fortunately, the third prince is not very old, so he hasn't put too much pressure on Liu Yan for the time being, and there are infinite possibilities for him to grow up in the past ten years or so.

Maybe, it's time to do something.

Concubine Ning was holding the teacup in her hand, watching the hot water in the cup appear fine smoke.

She knew that His Majesty didn't have much affection for her, and she had long since lost the desire to compete for favor in the harem. She didn't pay much attention to whom His Majesty favored, even if the imperial concubine favored her alone, the empress was the only one who found it dazzling.But judging from the current situation, it is not a good thing for them to continue to favor the imperial concubine alone.

In front of Liu Yan, there was an elder brother who was crowned prince early, his mother was a queen, and he was the veritable eldest son, with patriarchal etiquette as the backstage.Behind him is a younger brother who is more intelligent than himself, and the third prince has a powerful uncle's backing, and his mother and concubine are the only favorites. Naturally, the affection in His Majesty's heart is extraordinary.

In this way, Liu Yan is caught in the middle, the one who is the least conspicuous and ignored.

For Concubine Ning, she forbeared for half her life and kept low in front of the queen, just to bet that her son would be successful in the future, better than other brothers.

Liu Yan was indeed well-behaved and obedient since he was a child, and he made great efforts to study and did not disappoint her.Seeing that he married a high-ranking wife and was finally able to show his talents outside the palace, unexpectedly another outstanding third prince popped out of the palace.
