As soon as the nobleman finished speaking, many concubines' faces changed slightly and replied dissatisfiedly: "The fifth prince is so small, and there are no other princes in the palace, why do you want to establish the fifth prince alone?"
"Now Concubine Duan has fallen out of favor, and Concubine Duan's father, Lu Ziliang, has also been suspended from office and investigated. I am afraid that the possibility of these fifth princes becoming the crown prince is slim!"
"I don't know which prince the emperor will make the crown prince..."
Everyone was talking one by one, and Concubine Lu took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The emperor has his own decision in his heart, how can we decide? What's more, the harem cannot interfere in politics, so don't violate taboos, sisters
, lest you be so angry with the emperor like Concubine Duan!”
As soon as Concubine Lu said this, the concubines were shocked. When they thought that even the beloved Concubine Duan could fall out of favor, let alone them?!
Thinking of this, many concubines shivered, and no one dared to discuss these things anymore. Concubine Lu's prestige in the harem was established bit by bit.
When many concubines left Yuxuan Palace, Cai Yan, the personal palace maid of Concubine Lu, dared to bow and congratulate Concubine Lu with joy.
"Congratulations to Empress, Congratulations to Empress Xi. Concubine Duan finally fell out of favor, and the power to take over the phoenix seal was finally handed over to the Empress!"
Concubine Lu curled her lips and smiled faintly, waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's get up!"
The palace maid Cai Yan waved her other maids and eunuchs, and while pounding Concubine Lu's legs, she said, "Empress, Concubine Duan is no longer a big concern for you, you can finally have a safe sleep!"
Concubine Lu shook her head, and a cold light flashed in her eyes: "Who said no? Even if she was out of favor, don't forget that she has a fifth prince..."
"But the fifth prince is still young, and the emperor has no intention of appointing a crown prince now. Why should the empress worry?"
"Concubine Duan will not fall for a day, how can I feel completely at ease?" Concubine Lu curled a sneer on her lips and said quietly: "When she and the Lu family forces completely collapse, even if the emperor likes the fifth prince, he will not be able to do so even if he likes the fifth prince, he will not be able to do so.
Make the fifth prince the crown prince..."
When Concubine Lu said this, she sighed softly: "After all, I am not strong enough to give birth to a prince, so I have such a passive position!"
"Don't worry, I asked the Empress to have another son. I'll try it. If the Empress gave birth to a prince, then the position of Empress must be the Empress!"
When Concubine Lu heard the words of the palace maid Cai Yan, her eyes lit up again, and she stroked her belly, her expression became more and more firm.

In order to find out the questions in his heart, Wei Zijin, without telling his elder sister Wei Zixuan, went to the Xuanwu Palace again with the invitation of Princess Xuanwu.
This time, King Xuanwu Xiao Zhao was not in the mansion, and Wei Zijin accompanied Princess Xuanwu for most of the day and learned from Princess Xuanwu that the concubine Duan in the harem was out of favor!
Because of her noble status, Princess Xuanwu had no taboos when talking about the palace. While kneading melon seeds, she sighed: "I didn't expect that Concubine Duan was so favored, and she still said she was out of favor and fell out of favor..."
"That is the reason why there is such a saying among the people: being with the king is like being with a tiger!" Wei Zijin was extremely surprised, but he was silent on his face and said with a faint smile.
"Yes, being with the king is like a tiger, annoying the emperor, maybe what will happen..."
