As soon as Princess Anle heard Fang Mingzhu's words, she immediately strode to the table and grabbed the contents of the brocade box. She only heard the unique sweet sound produced by the collision of gold and jade, and the other one was even more beautiful.
Meilun's phoenix crown appeared in front of Anle.
The overall shape of this phoenix crown is similar to the one worn on Anle's head, except that the phoenix is larger and fuller, and what is held in the phoenix's mouth is not an auspicious grass, but an exquisite Ruyi, because
Phoenix and Ruyi are both much bigger, so there are more jewels embedded on them. They are colorful and radiant, as if all the rare treasures in the world are piled on them. Especially the pearl is very exquisitely conceived.
, so these jewels when put together do not look gaudy or crowded, but instead look magnificent, graceful and luxurious, making people dare not look at them.
Anle's eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted:
"Why don't you put this phoenix crown on me?" She asked, already making a move to take off the phoenix crown on her head.
Mingzhu held her hand:
"Princess, please don't be impatient. This phoenix crown is not made for the princess."
"You're brave!" An Le suddenly changed her color. What she hated the most in her life was seeing good things but not being able to own them. And Mingzhu dared to openly say that this phoenix crown was not for her. How could she not be so angry?
Mingzhu was not frightened by Anle's anger. She calmly took the phoenix crown from Anle's hand and said calmly:
"Princess, please calm down. This phoenix crown is a gift I made for the princess without my permission."
"Gift? What do you mean?"
"Princess, think about it, today is a banquet hosted by His Majesty the Emperor to celebrate the Queen Mother's rebirth. You are His Majesty and Queen Mother's favorite daughter, how can you not prepare a congratulatory gift for the Queen Mother?"
"This..." Anle was speechless. Like many spoiled children, she had never thought about giving gifts to her parents when she grew up. She didn't have this awareness. So Mingzhu's words
It was very strange to her.
Mingzhu continues to be good at tempting:
"I think if the princess can present this phoenix crown to the queen and wish her good health, then your majesty and the queen will be very happy."
Anle remained silent because she still felt that Mingzhu's proposal was a bit unnecessary - she had never given gifts to her father and mother, but they still liked her very much.
Mingzhu looked at the opportunity and suddenly moved closer to Anle and whispered:
"Princess, I have a few words that I want to say to you alone."
Anle was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't know what important matters Mingzhu had and she insisted on telling her alone, she now trusted Mingzhu more, so she dismissed all the maids in the house, and then asked:
"What on earth could you do to be so sneaky?"
"Princess, please forgive Mingzhu for her innocence first, and then Mingzhu will dare to speak out."
"Okay, I forgive you."
"In my opinion, the princess's talent is completely comparable to that of Queen Zetian."
"What's the point? That's how it is!" Anle said proudly. She had always felt that she was much stronger than her grandmother Wu Zetian.
"What I mean is that whatever Queen Zetian can do, the princess can also do." At this time, Mingzhu's heart had shrunk nervously. Although Anle had already said that she would forgive her guilt, but
What I say now, if I think of it in a simple way, I am just trying to please An Le, but if I think of it in a complicated way, I am instigating An Le to become the queen! This is a crime of treason. God knows how this moody and willful princess will view her behavior.
.
But what Mingzhu didn't expect was that Anle didn't have any big reaction after hearing her words, but said very disapprovingly:
"Of course I can. Everyone knows this."
Mingzhu couldn't help but sweat in her heart:
'It seems that I was too careful, because the first two times I mentioned the rebellion to Li Chengqi and Li Longji brothers, they both reacted very violently, so this time when I talked about this issue with Anle, I changed my mind.
He was extremely careful, but he didn't expect that Anle didn't care at all about it. They were both of royal blood, and the difference between their brothers and sisters was really big. But this was good, he could speak boldly.'
"Since everyone has told the princess that you can become a real queen, have they told you how to become such a queen?"
Anle shook her head, no one really told her.
"Let my father pass the throne to me." Anle said, this was what she had always wanted.
"But according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the throne can only be passed on to the prince..."
"Hmph," An Le's face showed an angry look, "That little bastard, I will deal with him sooner or later!"
Mingzhu knew that Anle was referring to the current crown prince - her half-brother.
"Actually, the princess has another way."
"any solution?"
"Let His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen feel that the princess is the best..."
"They thought I was the best!"
"They think you are good now because you are their daughter. You should also make them think that you are the best princess, the most suitable heir to the throne, and you will become the best queen in the future."
Anle finally understood Mingzhu's meaning:
"I understand, so you want me to give this to my mother, so that my father, my mother, and everyone in the world know that I honor my parents?"
"Yes, the princess is really smart, but this is only the first step."
"Just the first step?"
"Yes. I still have many, many plans to let His Majesty the Emperor, the Empress, and everyone in the world know that the princess has many advantages that can make her a real queen. Such as filial piety, kindness,
For example, being considerate of the people, and knowing how to revitalize the country..."
"Can you do all this?" Anle's eyes began to shine, but she still had some doubts.
"This time, won't I let His Majesty the Emperor, the Empress, and all the nobles in Chang'an City know the princess's filial piety towards the Empress?"
"Is it okay to just rely on this phoenix crown?" Anle hesitated.
"Of course it's not just this phoenix crown, the princess also has something to say."
"What words?"
Mingzhu told Anle in detail. In fact, Anle was also an extremely smart person, but he was used to being arrogant and had no one else in his heart. Now that Mingzhu nudged him, he immediately understood what he should do.
"Okay, I will do as you say. If this is done, I will reward you heavily!"
"I don't want a reward for the pearl, I just want the princess to take me into the palace!"
