Now she felt more and more that Situ Zhao was a man who would never achieve great things. Unfortunately, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.
"Then? You want me to receive the order?" Situ Zhao looked at Cui Mixue in disbelief, as if he had heard some fairy tale.
Cui Mixue was interrupted by Situ Zhao before she could finish her words. A hint of displeasure flashed across her face. Wouldn't it be better for a brainless person to just quietly listen to what others were telling him? Why did he have to be so clever?
"Are you going to disobey the Emperor? I asked you to receive the imperial edict only to give us some time. Once we find the opportunity, we will find a way to kill the Emperor."
So that's how it is. Situ Zhao's heart instantly returned to his stomach. At this time, he didn't notice Cui Mixue's displeasure with him.
In the East Palace, Situ Yao wanted to share the news with Su Mengyan, but was told by the palace maid: "Crown Prince, the Crown Princess left the palace early this morning."
The palace maid didn't know where Su Mengyan had gone, so Situ Yao had no choice but to wait for Su Mengyan to come back in the East Palace.
At this time, Su Mengyan was reciting poems and composing couplets. Lines of timeless quatrains came out of her mouth, shocking everyone present with their mouths wide open.
It turned out that yesterday the wife of the Minister of Revenue sent someone to inform Su Mengyan that there would be a talented women's conference today.
Su Mengyan felt that she might not be able to compose poems and couplets, but when she thought about it, she had lived for so many years and learned so much poetry in modern times. Couldn't she beat these ancient people?
Hence, the current scene happened.
No one had expected that this seemingly ordinary princess consort was so good at reciting poems and composing couplets, and everyone instantly became her fans.
"The Crown Princess is indeed amazing, her reputation is well-deserved." Someone praised.
Someone immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, the Crown Princess deserves first place this time."
Seeing so many people praising her so much, Su Mengyan felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had to use thousands of years of wisdom to defeat these little women, and it felt like an unfair victory.
However, this feeling was suppressed by her in an instant. Those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters.
"I feel a little embarrassed when you praise me like this. I was just taking advantage of the situation. Those young ladies are the ones with real talents and knowledge." Su Mengyan said.
She wasn't lying; she was genuinely praising those other young ladies who were full of nonsense. But everyone thought she was just being modest. She was the first place winner this time, and far surpassed the second place.
I can see that I have gained a lot of little fans, oh, and some mother fans.
"Your Highness, please don't be so modest. Your true talents and knowledge are obvious to everyone," someone said.
The wife of the Minister of Revenue also stood up at this time and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, if you are more modest, we will be ashamed!"
Su Mengyan knew that it would be better if she could get along with them at this time.
So she said, "I'm not being modest at all. If you don't mind, you can ask me if you have anything you want to know."
Some people immediately hesitated. You know, the Crown Princess is not someone they can meet easily, and this meeting is just a matter of fate.
As if she knew what these people were thinking, Su Mengyan said immediately: "Don't worry, if there is anything, I will naturally help. Although I am the Crown Princess, I also know that the country needs the help of husbands like you to be a country."
After hearing Su Mengyan's words, everyone nodded in agreement. At this time, they already knew what Su Mengyan was thinking.
The fight between Situ Zhao and Situ Yao for the throne was not a matter of one day or one night. Even these ladies in seclusion had heard about it.
When he heard Su Mengyan's words at this time, he knew in his heart that Su Mengyan was just trying to win over these people.
She just wanted to express that even as the Crown Princess, she was still an approachable person, but if the person in that position in the future was not her, she might not be as approachable as him.
The banquet ended like this.
Su Mengyan felt that attending these banquets was actually quite demanding. She had to be tactful when speaking to these people, and be able to grasp the importance of each.
When she returned to the East Palace, Situ Yao had been waiting for her for a long time.
Seeing Su Mengyan finally return, Situ Yao pulled her into his arms.
"I haven't been by your side for this period of time. I'm sorry for making you suffer." Situ Yao put his chin on Su Mengyan's neck, and the hot air he exhaled when he spoke hit Su Mengyan's ears, making her feel itchy.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, Su Mengyan moved her body, forgetting that she was sitting in Situ Yao's arms at this moment.
Her movement was not a big deal, but Situ Yao's face turned red instantly.
"Yan'er, don't move." Situ Yao's voice sounded with a hint of charm.
Su Mengyan was a little confused. She hadn't figured out what was going on yet and moved a few times restlessly.
Now she knew what it meant to reap what one sows.
The two of them had not been intimate for a long time due to various reasons, and this was the perfect time for them to strike a chord.
After a period of joy, Situ Yao hugged the little woman tightly and whispered in her ear: "Yan'er, let's have a child."
Unfortunately, Su Mengyan had already fallen asleep at this time and did not hear what Situ Yao said.
The throne was about to be decided, so no one in the world would compete with Situ Yao. At this time, Situ Yao just felt that it was time for him to have a child.
The next day, Su Mengyan was feeling bored in the East Palace when she heard a palace servant come to report that the queen mother had arrived.
Su Mengyan had no time to think about what the Queen Mother wanted to do at this time, so she had to go out to greet her immediately.
No one comes to visit without a reason. Su Mengyan knew that the Queen Mother must have something to say when she came this time.
"Why is the Empress Dowager here? If there is something you need, I will just go there. Why should I trouble you to make a trip?" Su Mengyan smiled and saluted the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother was welcomed into the main hall, and she walked straight over and sat on the high seat.
"Crown Princess, how is the Emperor doing recently?" The Queen Mother did not beat around the bush. She did not completely believe Cui Mixue's words, but there were some things she knew Cui Mixue must be lying to her.
As expected, the Queen Mother came here for the Emperor's affairs.
Regarding the emperor's affairs, Su Mengyan was actually helpless. At first, she knew that Cui Mixue had poisoned the emperor, but she originally thought that Xu Chenan could detoxify him. Later, she found out that she had taken some things for granted.
"According to Doctor Xu, it may be able to hold on for a while, but I'm afraid not much longer." Su Mengyan said.
It is a very painful thing for the elderly to see their loved ones die.
