Chapter 431: Big Ambitions
The eldest prince glanced at her quickly, pursed his lips, and felt even more lost and sad.
His mother was unwilling to let him stay with her. When she mentioned the Mi family, her face lit up. The eldest prince didn't even know whether his mother was more important, him or the Mi family.
After the emperor and others left Yonghe Palace, Concubine Mi could finally have her outburst.
However, all the resentment in her heart was swept away by the great news that her family members could enter the palace freely.
"Madam Xin, my luck has changed, hasn't it? Look at the Queen's grim expression. I'm so happy!"
Concubine Mi wanted to laugh heartily, but ended up coughing a lot, and her face turned red from choking.
After all, she wasn't pretending to be sick, she was truly ill. This time, she was determined to be ruthless to herself.
"Your Majesty, please be careful," Nanny Xin hurriedly patted her chest to help her breathe more smoothly.
Nanny Xin was also somewhat complacent. After all, servants like them could only be well off if their masters were well off. Only then could they act arrogantly and majestically in the palace. Otherwise, who would even give them an eye?
"The Empress must have been furious today. I wonder what she was thinking when she suggested that the Emperor promote you. She must have felt bad!"
Concubine Mi laughed out loud. Yes, thinking this way, she felt much better. Even if it was the Queen who brought this up, it seemed quite good.
"Humph, she will suffer many more times in the future!"
Nanny Xin took the opportunity to smile and remind them, "The Empress is not so easy to deal with. You have suffered many losses at her hands before. This time, we must be more cautious. After all, the eldest prince is your biological son. You must win his heart back first."
Concubine Mi nodded slowly, but she actually felt a little disgusted.
She didn't like the eldest prince, not at all.
Perhaps because I never took care of him or raised him since he was a child, I always feel a little guilty for no reason when I face him now.
This guilty feeling turned into jealousy and hatred when she saw his close relationship with the queen.
This jealousy cannot be dispelled.
It also made her feel hopeless. It was almost impossible to completely pull him away from the Queen!
But unfortunately, she can only rely on him.
"It would be great if I could give birth to another prince."
Concubine Mi couldn't help but sigh.
If she gave birth to another prince, she would never allow anyone to take him away from her. She would raise and teach him well, and make him recognize only her when he grew up.
Nanny Xin was startled and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, please don't say that again! Even if you have another child, it won't be the eldest prince! The emperor values the eldest prince so much now, how can anyone else compare to him?"
Concubine Mi sneered, "If there is another little prince, the emperor will surely love him even more. What parent wouldn't love a little one? Besides, the emperor is still young, and the eldest prince is still relatively young these past few years. It's okay, but in a few years, if the eldest prince isn't outstanding, the emperor will be disappointed; if he's too outstanding, the emperor might even be wary of him. Oh, the eldest prince! What's so good about the eldest prince!"
Nanny Xin was speechless.
I didn't know how to refute it.
Concubine Mi perked up, waved her hands and said with a smile, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's win over this kid first. The emperor will definitely not stop visiting me again. Madam Xin, please get me some nourishing herbs. I need to take good care of myself."
Since she could give birth to one, she could give birth to a second.
Concubine Mi didn't think this was difficult at all.
Nanny Xin thought about it and decided that it was not impossible to make preparations for both scenarios.
What the Empress said does make sense. The eldest prince is growing up, but the emperor is still young. What will he think of the eldest prince?
At this time, the advantages of being the eldest son disappeared completely. He was even less cute and adorable than the ignorant little kid.
Even if something happens to the eldest prince, he is still the queen's son and has nothing to do with the queen.
"Yes, your majesty is wise! I've made note of it."
Concubine Mi was promoted in rank and released from confinement, which shocked everyone inside and outside the palace.
Those who were more understanding, considering that the eldest prince had been officially registered under the name of the empress, did not think much about it, and believed that the emperor's move was probably compensation for Concubine Mi.
Others sighed with emotion: A mother is honored because of her son. How can such blood ties be easily severed?
Concubine Mi is so lucky!
It's a pity that if she had been smarter earlier, she wouldn't have suffered such a hardship. She was given a good beating by the emperor to scare him.
But it’s not too bad. Now, my dignity has been restored, right?
Zhao Liya had also heard a lot of rumors that were circulating widely. As one of the insiders, she could only say that she really underestimated the imagination of the general public.
When it comes to expanding gossip and associating gossip, it's no exaggeration.
"Mi Guifei is really cruel to herself. I didn't expect that she would torture herself to death. I heard from Xiaofang that she is almost in danger this time."
Zhou Hansheng scoffed: "She is asking for her own death."
Zhao Liya couldn't help but sigh half-jokingly, "She's still not dead even after all this. There's some truth to the saying that a mother's status is determined by her son. If the Empress were even slightly less capable, I'm afraid the situation wouldn't be like this."
Fortunately, Concubine Mi is not smart, and the Mi family is not smart either.
They were both proud and afraid of losing the eldest prince, so they tried their best to capture him, but the result was counterproductive.
If they had known a little more twists and turns and had a little more patience, it would be hard to say whether the Queen could have won.
The Mi family and Concubine Mi have long been at odds with the Zhou family, the Zhao family, and the Lu family, and Zhao Liya certainly hopes that they will be in trouble.
She wanted to go to Lingnan safely with Zhou Hansheng, and Concubine Mi and the Mi family must also have a definite ending.
Zhou Hansheng embraced his wife and said jokingly, "Since my wife said that a mother's status depends on her son, shouldn't we hurry up? My wife, I want you to be even more valuable!"
Zhao Liya couldn't help laughing and punched him. The corner of her eye was slightly raised, and she said to him with a smile, "Why? If I can't be more expensive, how do you want to make up for it, my lord?"
"What's the compensation?" Zhou Hansheng vowed, "My wife is born a noble and blessed person! We will have everything in the future!"
Zhao Liya felt warm in her heart.
Then he said, "We've worked so hard for so many years to finally build this huge fortune. It would be a shame not to pass it on to our children, right?"
