Qing Wan shook her head, took a sip of the herbal tea at her hand, and then looked at Wen Yi again and said: "To be honest, I don't understand very well. What the concubine means is that the Queen's status is not as noble as that of Concubine Wen.
, so the congratulatory gift that the concubine gave to the fifth prince cannot exceed the gift that the prince gave to the fourth prince?" She came here specially to remind herself that she must have been instructed by some people to take over the prince's palace, or in other words, to take over Ji.
Lan Jin was completely tied to Concubine Wen.
There was a hint of pride on Wen Yi's face, and her eyes did not dodge as she said, "That's exactly what I mean."
Qing Wan smiled slightly, but there was a hint of something else in her smile, "Even if I don't know the hierarchy among the concubines in the harem, I still know that no matter how favored a concubine is, her status will not be the same.
It may be more expensive than the current empress. What's more, Concubine Wen is only the assistant in charge of the Sixth Palace. She is really in charge of the Phoenix Seal. The person who rules the Sixth Palace is still the queen, right? If she really follows the concubine's wishes, isn't she obviously letting me do it?
The concubine offended the empress? If the empress harbors a grudge and finds a reason to blame her, won't it affect the entire palace?"
Wen Yi still looked aloof and said with a proud expression: "With my concubine, my sister will never let the queen harm anyone in the palace."
Qing Wan's face was calm, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the other person, and said in a lukewarm voice: "Really? The reason why Concubine Wen is favored in the harem and enjoys unlimited fame is because of the emperor's favor. But the emperor is already old after all.
When you get older, sooner or later there will be a day when you will abdicate the throne and give way to someone worthy. It is not certain who will have the final say in the harem next. Now the position of the crown prince has not been determined. The fifth prince is the only legitimate prince of the garrison, and there is a possibility that he will inherit the throne in the future.
It’s very big. The concubine is really sure. Is it okay for the palace to publicly offend the fifth prince?”
Wen Yi disagreed, "What about the direct prince? The queen is not favored, and he is also not favored by the emperor. Otherwise, he would have been established as the prince long ago, right?"
Qing Wan glanced at the other party with a smile, and then her eyes fell on the tea bowl in her hand. She was bored and fiddled with the tea leaves in the bowl with the tea lid, and said slowly: "According to the words of the concubine, since the emperor does not want to see the fifth prince, then
Who would you like to be the crown prince? The emperor loves Concubine Wen, and I heard that he treats the fourth prince very kindly, especially allowing the fourth prince to stay in the palace after their wedding..."
Hearing this, Wen Yi's chin lifted unconsciously, with a trace of pride in her eyes. Before she could speak, Qing Wan followed closely and said, "But I heard that the fourth prince has had legs since he was a child.
If you are ill and can't walk easily, you might not be able to take on a big job, right?"
Wen Yi subconsciously retorted: "To govern a country, all you need is a brain, so what if you can't walk?"
The movement of Qingwan's hand suddenly stopped, she raised her head to look at the other party again, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes, she looked straight into the other party's eyes and said: "So, the fourth prince really wants to compete for the crown prince?
"
Only then did Wen Yi realize that she had been tricked by the other party. She panicked and added hurriedly: "In short, even if it is not the fourth prince, there is still the second prince. In the court, the second prince's reputation is much better than that of the fifth prince.
A few days ago, Concubine De invited you to the palace. Wasn’t it because she wanted to win you over and wanted the prince to side with the second prince?"
