Chapter 5: Changes in the Harem Conflict
Regardless of what Wan Qing was thinking, Prime Minister Zuo was secretly wiping a few cold sweats in the court today.
The fact that he and Princess Anzhen adopted an adopted daughter was not only impeached, but someone also mentioned it in front of the court. What made Zuo Jian dumbfounded was that the person who jumped out did not know how many adopted daughters he had adopted.
.
Fortunately, no one knew about Wan Qing's life experience except Bage'er, so the turmoil was eventually dissipated in a few conversations between Zuo Jian and the emperor. After all, it was just an adoption of a child, and it was not something other people had done before. However, Zuo Jian finally
Because of this, he kept an eye out and took advantage of what happened next.
Regardless of the funeral, some slight disturbances in the court also attracted the attention of the harem. The Queen Mother, who had always loved Princess Anzhen, even ordered her to bring the child into the palace in advance to have a look, saying that she wanted to see her.
When he met his grandmother, his words were not only extremely partial, but also seemed to be extremely caring.
This move also made other concubines with children start thinking. After all, if they want their children to ascend to the vacant crown prince position, it will be much easier with the help of Prime Minister Zuo. In addition, if this
If the adopted daughter also wins the love of the Queen Mother, she will be even more powerful.
As the master of the harem, the Queen Mother also had a headache after hearing this. Although she had the emperor's endless favor and even sat in a high position, her child was never made a prince. And the emperor seemed to trust the Queen Mother's decision very much, as long as she
The queen mother vetoed her own child, fearing that no matter what the emperor said, he would not make him the prince...
The empress, who was elegantly dressed and extremely charming in appearance, leaned on the beauty couch and rubbed her forehead. Feeling depressed, she finally raised her hand slightly and asked the maid to call Chu Lurong who was doing something in her palace.
Came over.
"See the Queen." Chu Lurong, who was wearing a green uniform, bowed respectfully. Listening to his tone, you would have mistaken him for a very filial child. But when he raised his head, he could see that he was very similar to the Queen with his long slanted eyebrows.
There was no trace of disdain, but it was a pity that because of the tent in front of her, the queen did not see it clearly enough, so she ignored it.
However, the queen was also well aware of Chu Lurong's temperament, and her words finally turned into a long sigh, "Lvrong, stop your fun. As the eldest son, you must set an example. But
Don’t let me worry too much.”
Chu Lurong didn't even dare to say it, but his expression showed no trace of shame at all, and his pale thin lips curled up in a teasing arc.
"After half a month, remember to behave well." Seeing that Chu Lurong was not moved at all, the queen sighed again and waved her hand for Chu Lurong to retreat. The maid hurriedly handed over warm tea to the queen to moisten her mouth.
.
"My son, please retire." Chu Lurong walked out of the cage-like harem quietly, his smile not diminishing.
Mother, if you want your son to become the prince, he will do his best. I just hope you speak less. Otherwise, it will be really uncomfortable to hear.
Thinking of this, Chu Lurong turned his head and glanced at the majestic main palace, waved his sleeves suddenly, and returned to his palace without any nostalgia.
The Queen's meeting with Chu Lurong soon spread to the ears of other concubines. Although they seemed unaware on the surface, secretly they were all working hard.
On the contrary, the second prince's palace was still deserted. His mother did not come, but the fourth prince ran over.
"Second brother!" The fourth prince arrived before anyone else. The second prince, who was sitting in the room reading a book, did not even change his posture and continued to concentrate on his book.
Seeing that his shouting did not attract the second prince's attention, the fourth prince stamped his feet, yanked the book from the second prince's hand, raised his voice and called again, "Second brother!"
The second prince sighed like a grown-up, and finally raised his head and looked at his fourth brother, who was very similar to himself. He couldn't help but feel depressed again. Why did he like to be quiet, but this younger brother was so noisy? "Fourth Prince"
Brother, if you are being reprimanded, don’t come to me every time to complain. It’s better to correct yourself and avoid being reprimanded again!”
The fourth prince pouted and sat on the stool next to the second prince unhappily. He asked all the other maids and servants to retreat before speaking, "Second brother! You can't add insult to injury like this. Tell me, what's the secret that won't be abused?"
Mother’s training?”
The second prince sighed repeatedly, and finally said nine words, "Read more, talk less, and cause less trouble."
But I added in my heart, it would be great if you could always be like this. I, my brother, will take care of all the conspiracies and secret fights, and enjoy the glory brought by this royal family with peace of mind.
Seeing his second brother's seemingly perfunctory answer, the fourth prince pouted, crumpled the books in his hands unhappily, and finally decided to look at Zuo and ask him, "Has second brother heard about Miss Zuo's family?"
"I heard. Is there anything else you want to say?" The second prince steadily picked up the tea cup and took a sip, as if he was serving tea to see off guests. Although he had no interest in knowing these things, for the sake of this younger brother, he really knew it.
Quite a few.
The fourth prince hurriedly pushed down the tea cup, "Brother, you can't just die without saving me! If my mother wants me to marry her, I will marry her! I have never even seen her, what if I can't even see her if she is so ugly?"
!”
"Fu Rui, send the fourth prince back!" The second prince couldn't bear to be disturbed and called the servants around him to drag the fourth prince out. He added coolly in his heart, can you marry him if he is not ugly?
He is such a boy who doesn't think about the interests behind him! It's just... he didn't pet him.
"Second brother! Second brother!..." The fourth prince refused to give up and yelled, but he was so small and weak that he couldn't break away. Furui, who used his clever strength, looked at the closed door and had no choice but to touch it.
Nose left.
The second prince, who was still sitting upright, finally put down the shelf he had been holding, took a deep breath silently, pulled out a piece of tissue paper from the book and lit it with a candle.
Mother, you are too anxious. Both the eldest prince and I are only over ten years old and have not yet reached the age of marriage. It would be absolutely unwise to expose the plan too early.
Moreover, now in this harem, the queen is the only one who favors her. As long as the queen speaks, it is not certain that Miss Zuo will marry the eldest prince, so how can you speak?
The second prince walked to the copper basin and washed his hands. He looked at his reflection in the water and didn't say anything for a long time. Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind and turned back to the desk. The prince's aura suddenly surged out, facing behind him.
He whispered, "Jiuying, keep an eye on Miss Zuo for me. I want all the news about her."
Before he finished speaking, a black shadow disappeared with a gust of breeze.
