She had lived for eighty years, enjoyed all honors and wealth, and could see through people's hearts. Concubine Cao Guifei and the King of Han had always been resentful of her, always thinking that if she opened her mouth, Emperor Long'an would change his mind and make the King of Han his king.
Crown Prince.
She is the aunt of Concubine Cao, the grandmother of the King of Han, and the biological grandmother of the King of Yan! She likes the King of Han, and she also thinks highly of the King of Yan. Apart from his beautiful face, what else can the King of Han compare to the King of Yan? Is it possible that it was because of the King of Han?
If your mother is the daughter of the Cao family, she should support the King of Han in his fight for the throne?
Let her make up her mind, and she will choose King Yan as the crown prince.
When you talk to a smart person, you can understand everything. When you talk to a confused person, you can't understand it at all. Just don't talk!
"The Ai family is a little tired, you should go back first!" Empress Dowager Cao's voice softened.
Concubine Cao was shocked to realize that she had revealed her clues. She dared not leave, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "I will wait for the Queen Mother to rest." She held on to Queen Mother Cao's arm and refused to let go.
Queen Mother Cao glanced at Concubine Cao and followed her.
Concubine Cao did not dare to be lost in thought, let alone show any resentment. She cheered up and chatted with Empress Dowager Cao. Sometimes she poured tea and water, and sometimes she brought refreshments.
After all, she was her biological niece. She had been in the palace for more than 20 years and had always been very filial to her. Empress Dowager Cao didn't show any emotion.
Soon, Concubine Tian Shu also came to Cining Palace to express her congratulations.
"I heard that the emperor decreed that Prince Yan be crowned prince. This is really a great joy." Concubine Tian Shu felt sour in her heart, but her face was filled with joy: "I came here specifically to express my congratulations to the Queen Mother."
The Empress Dowager Cao looked down on Concubine Tian Shu, and for the sake of King Zhao's face, it was justifiable on weekdays. Besides, she would not hit anyone with a smile. Concubine Tian Shu came to express her congratulations, and the Empress Dowager Cao accepted her with a smile.
The young concubines from the harem also came one by one. Among them, there was a beautiful lady.
Although Yumei is a side branch of the Cao family, she is still the daughter of the Cao family.
When Empress Dowager Cao became interested, she would also say a few words to Beauty Fu Yu: "Beauty Yu, I haven't seen you in the Ai family for some time. When I see you today, you look better than before."
All the concubines looked over at once.
Yu Mei entered the palace at the age of sixteen. She is twenty-one this year, which is the age when a woman has the most beautiful appearance. She has no makeup, and her beauty is natural. Her fair and tender skin is flushed, and her eyes are like water.
No wonder Empress Dowager Cao would praise Beauty Yu for her good complexion. Among all the palace concubines with dull complexions, Beauty Yu was as beautiful as a flower, and she really stood out.
A trace of guilt and panic flashed in Beauty Yu's eyes, she stood up and bowed her head and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for asking and caring. The days in the palace are prosperous and peaceful, I enjoy peace and honor, eat well and sleep well every day, and my complexion is naturally good."
This is a very appropriate answer.
Empress Dowager Cao smiled happily: "Just sit down and talk. The emperor is not here, so there is no need to talk about so many rules."
Beauty Yu thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness and sat down under the envious eyes of the concubines.
The emperor had not entered the harem for two months, let alone summoned his concubines. The concubines were like dry land, and the rain could not wait for a long time, so their faces would inevitably look gloomy. But she was a beautiful woman, and her complexion was so good that it made people jealous.
Empress Dowager Cao smiled and said: "The establishment of a crown prince is a great joy. The emperor hosted a banquet for all the ministers, and the Ai family also prepared a dinner. Today, everyone gathered in Cining Palace, and it was a lively event."
All the concubines responded in unison, flattering Empress Dowager Cao with every word.
Soon, the princes and concubines also entered the palace after hearing the news.
Compared to the past few days, Princess Yan is even more beautiful today. Even Concubine Cao, who has her eyes set high above her head, is particularly polite to Princess Yan today.
Princess Yan doesn’t know how to look at people’s faces? She was born to be a crown princess, but her face looks pretty much the same to others!
Princess Yan speaks directly and never turns around? That’s because she has a frank temperament and an open mind!
In short, if there is a problem, there must be something wrong with your vision.
His Highness King Yan’s vision is always unmistakable!
…
After the palace banquet, Princess Yan sat on the carriage outside the palace gate and waited until midnight before she arrived at Prince Yan.
After twenty years of forbearance, he succeeded once. Even though King Yan was calm and resolute, he drank too much tonight amidst the congratulations of the officials. His face looked sober, and his eyes were particularly bright. He kept looking at Princess Yan.
smile.
Princess Yan also pursed her lips and smiled, took Prince Yan's arm, rested her head on Prince Yan's shoulder, and whispered: "Aren't you happy to have what you want?"
Prince Yan laughed in a low voice, put his arms around Princess Yan's slender waist, and also whispered: "I deserve this. However, I am still very happy."
The suffocation that had been suppressed in my heart for more than ten years was slowly released from my chest.
This long-running battle for the crown prince has finally come to an end.
He is the real winner!
Princess Yan was sincerely happy for her husband, but she couldn't help but murmur: "If you become the crown prince, I will be the crown princess. After the canonization ceremony, we will have to live in the East Palace."
"I'm used to being free in Prince Yan's palace. From now on, in the palace, there will be the imperial grandmother, Concubine Cao, and so many concubines to deal with. I feel a headache just thinking about it."
King Yan laughed dumbly, leaned over and kissed his beloved wife's cheek: "Don't worry. The imperial grandmother is very clear-sighted and will not embarrass you. After all, Concubine Cao is not a queen, and she has no right to show her mother-in-law's legacy in front of you. Those palaces
Not to mention the concubine, I can only support you. What else is there to worry about?"
"Besides, our daughter-in-law is smart and capable. She has taken care of the inner palace of Prince Yan's palace in a good way. When she enters the East Palace in the future, she will leave everything to her."
Princess Yan felt a rare guilty conscience and asked in a low voice: "Is it a little too much for me to act like a mother-in-law?"
King Yan smiled again: "As soon as you enter the house, you will be in charge of the house without any friction. My mother-in-law treats me like a daughter and loves me. There is no other good mother-in-law like you in the world."
Princess Yan was so coaxed that she gave King Yan a charming look: "My husband is so handsome and brave that he is truly unparalleled in the world."
King Yan smiled softly and whispered in Princess Yan's ear. The couple rubbed their temples together and chuckled from time to time.
The night breeze blew slowly, and the chuckles in the carriage quietly drifted into the ears of the accompanying guards.
Shen You was closest to the carriage and had a good ear, so he heard the most clearly.
His majestic and solemn Highness, Prince Yan, became a soft-spoken couple in front of Princess Yan. They have been married for twenty years, and they are still loving and intimate, even better than a young couple.
Twenty years from now, he and his cousin Shaojun will also be such a loving couple!
As Shen Youyao thought about the future, his heart felt quietly hot.
After lighting a stick of incense, the carriage stopped outside the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Shen You couldn't help but take a look at Prince Qin's Mansion not far away.
His young cousin, Shaojun, lives in Prince Qin's palace. They are not far apart, but unfortunately they cannot see each other all the time. They can only look at each other from a distance and miss each other.
