"Hmph, Linglong's beauty was never enough to outshine everyone else. How much worse are the Princess Consort of Dai and the Princess Consort of Jin? She only has an added charm because of her special status as the former Crown Princess," Liu Ning said disdainfully.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right," Eunuch Lü hurriedly echoed, though he couldn't help but chuckle to himself. It seemed that the Empress and the Crown Princess were indeed at odds.
At this moment, Liu Ning snorted: "Stop worrying about those romantic escapades, let's get down to business. What do you think of the Prince of Wu's visit to the capital?"
"It seems the Bi family invited him to be an outside helper?" Eunuch Lü asked tentatively.
"Hmph, who else could it be but them? No prince from other regions is allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict. Yet he used the excuse of mourning his father and attending his brother's funeral. If it weren't for the Bi family arranging the formalities in the court, it would have been difficult for him to enter the capital with just these two excuses." Liu Ning sneered repeatedly.
"I see that after the Prince of Wu entered the capital, he visited various prominent families on his own, and at the same time sent his wife to socialize with those ladies of noble families. It seems that he has quite a grand ambition," Eunuch Lü reminded him.
"Hmph, the Prince of Dai courted death before, and this brat still dares to have designs on the throne," Liu Ning said with a hint of schadenfreude. "That little hussy from the Bi family was thinking of winning him over to deal with me, but she didn't consider the possibility that he might turn the tables on her and end up not even becoming the Empress."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Eunuch Lü gave a thumbs up.
"You're just flattering me, it's boring." Liu Ning snorted, thinking that Azu would never be so submissive to her; only she would be submissive to him...
She didn't know what she was thinking about, but a blush appeared on her face.
At this moment, Eunuch Lü's voice rang out: "Your Majesty, do we really want to deal with Prince Liang? After all, he is highly respected and has considerable influence."
Liu Ning coldly said, "What high moral standing? It's just that he's of a high generation. He's enjoyed endless resources from the royal family since he was a child. He's so old and he's only reached the Grandmaster level. He's wasted his life."
“These days, he’s been taking advantage of his seniority and doesn’t know his place. He’s always bossing me around. If I don’t teach him a lesson, this old guy will take advantage of me.”
After a pause, she added, "Moreover, according to intelligence, this old guy made things difficult for Azu back in Bright Moon City, so it's a good opportunity to vent Azu's anger."
There was some worry in Eunuch Lü's eyes. It seemed that the Empress had recently become somewhat infatuated with the Regent's male charm. It would not matter if it were just the Prince of Liang, but now the Crown Prince was eyeing the palace covetously, and there were also ambitious people like the Prince of Wu. It was easy for problems to arise.
