Therefore, she had no choice but to keep it a secret.

...

The Empress summoned Yan Chaoxi to the palace, but the Crown Prince brought her out unharmed. For the next period of time, the Crown Prince stayed at Qingfeng Garden every day. The Crown Princess knew that the Empress could not help her, and she became increasingly angry.

She called her best friend, Wei Xinran, to confide in her.

Wei Xinran said, "I knew long ago that she was no good. When she went out with the Crown Prince, he was very affectionate with her. They held hands in the street. At that time, she had only been in the manor for two or three days!"

"What? The Crown Prince even went shopping with her? He's never gone shopping with me!" The Crown Princess's eyes turned red with jealousy. "No, if this continues, I'm really afraid the Crown Prince will divorce me and let that bitch Yan Chaoxi become his Crown Princess!"

"But the Crown Prince is so infatuated with her that he won't even see the children in his residence. What can I do?"

Yan Huainan didn't have many children, but the Crown Princess gave birth to a son for him, whom he adored and doted on.

Yan Wu didn't even glance at the child now.

Wei Xinran thought for a moment, "Do you still remember the method I mentioned to you last time?"

"But the Crown Prince likes her very much now, how could he possibly agree to give her away to someone else?"

Wei Xinran asked, "What if she was having an affair and the Crown Prince caught her? Would the Crown Prince still like her then?"

Seeing that the Crown Princess was interested, Wei Xinran continued, "This person must have some status. The Crown Prince can't kill him, and he'll feel uncomfortable about it. He can only give Yan Chaoxi to him. General Fan, whom I mentioned last time, is a good candidate."

"Wouldn't that create an enemy?"

"The Crown Prince needs his support, so he won't break ties with him. General Fan has won the Crown Prince's woman, so he will definitely stand on the Crown Prince's side. Everyone gets what they want."

Then, Wei Xinran whispered the general plan in the Crown Princess's ear.

After hearing this, the Crown Princess laughed and said, "Xinran, your idea is good. No wonder you can manage your concubines so well."
