The Queen Mother said slowly, "As a result, the Ning family's power in the court will become even greater. The Ai family does not want this."
Aunt Liu said, "The Queen Mother has considered that based on the performance of the concubines in the harem today, Concubine Hua is actually the best candidate for the post. Moreover, she has no heirs yet, and she treats the eldest prince and princess sincerely."
The Queen Mother pondered, "Well, you have been with the Ai family for so many years. You know the Ai family best and have the most accurate judgment about people. Do you really think Concubine Hua is the best candidate?"
Aunt Liu said respectfully, "How can I dare to take the throne? I am just saying some of my opinions. We must be very cautious about post-election matters, and the Queen Mother must also consider it seriously."
The Queen Mother was a little helpless, "The Ai family promised Miao'er (Queen) that they would make the eldest prince the crown prince, and they also promised to choose a concubine who would not threaten the status of the future crown prince as the queen."
Aunt Liu was shocked, "This way - will the Emperor agree?"
"Miao'er is like this. If a couple can't fulfill these small requests, how can the emperor still be embarrassed?" It means that the emperor also agreed.
Aunt Liu was worried, "If the future queen gives birth to a prince and is also a prince, how can she not threaten the status of the eldest prince?"
The Queen Mother sighed, "So this candidate is really a headache for the Ai family, and according to Daqian regulations, the candidate for the prince must be ten years old before he can be declared. The eldest prince is only one year old now, and there are still many years left, so it's no wonder that Miao'er doesn't
rest assured"
Aunt Liu comforted her and said, "The queen is blessed with good luck and fortune. Maybe she will be fine and she can survive until the crown prince is established."
The Queen Mother smiled bitterly, "Okay, please stop comforting the Aijia. You haven't seen Miao'er like that. She can't even sit still and has no strength to speak. She is still planning the future for the eldest prince. Alas... the Aijia is also like this.
I can’t bear it anymore, so if I agree to her, the Ai family will agree no matter what."
"Yi Shuyuan is also seven months old?" Aunt Liu had an idea.
"you mean……"
"Yi Shuyuan's family is not an important member of the imperial court, but a mere fifth-grade prefect. If she gives birth to a princess, she should be a good candidate."
The Queen Mother shook her head, "Although this woman is young, she is very scheming. She is really not suitable."
While the Queen Mother and Aunt Liu were having a headache discussing the candidates, Mo Yan had already arrived at Xuanyue Palace.
There was no one along the way, not even a little eunuch was seen.
Have all the people from Concubine Hua gone to Changyin Pavilion?
The concubines congratulated Concubine Ning in Changyin Pavilion. The Queen was seriously ill and could not attend, so the Empress Dowager ordered Concubine Hua to be the representative.
Mo Yan pondered while walking to the inner hall.
There is no one in the hall
She walked inside again, but couldn't find anyone to communicate with her.
Suddenly there was the sound of slight footsteps and a whisper, as if they were talking about a secret.
Amidst the lightning and flint, Moyan hid behind the thick curtain.
"Your Majesty, have you given the hint to the Queen?" This should be the voice of the palace maid. Moyan guessed it was Shucui next to Concubine Hua.
Moyan quietly poked her head out. Today's Concubine Hua was dressed in light orange. It was rare to wear bright clothes. You could tell that she was in a happy mood.
Just listen to her reply in a soft voice, "Well, the Queen is a smart person. She should know that I have treated her and her children sincerely for so many years. I am the only choice in the harem."
It seems that what Concubine Hua wants is probably the issue that the Queen Mother and Aunt Liu are studying?
"But the Queen is such a scheming person, are you afraid of being used by her?" Shucui worried.
