It seems that Prince Yan has a thing for Hongyu. That day at the Zuo family's house, he kept staring at her. Just now, when Hongyu entered the courtyard, he was still watching her intently. Could it be that Prince Yan really has feelings for Hongyu?
Rather than letting Yan Wang meet with his male favorites in secret, it would be better to send Hong Yu into Yan Wang's room, which would be the best way to win his heart.
The Empress made her decision, and her expression naturally softened considerably.
Seeing that the Empress had calmed down, Hongyu became bolder. "Hongyu understands that if I want to get close to Prince Yan, I must cater to his tastes. So... I have invited a male concubine. I ask that Your Majesty give me a chance to make amends. I promise to change Prince Yan's temperament within a month. If I fail to do so, Your Majesty can do whatever you want with me."
The Empress couldn't help but chuckle. "They really are like newborn calves, unafraid of tigers."
However, right now, Yan Wang and Chen Yu are like oil and water. Chen Yu is determined to never associate with Yan Wang. Why not give Hong Yu a month? If she fails to do so, she can be convicted to prevent her from continuing to flatter Yan Wang.
"Very well, from now on, I forbid Prince Yan from touching those filthy and unlucky things again. Can Hongyu do that?"
“Hongyu can definitely do it.”
The Empress nodded and walked toward the door, but then stopped.
Although Hongyu is good at scheming, she is also shrewd. If she can really control Prince Yan, it might not be a bad idea to keep her in Prince Yan's mansion. However... her status is beneath Prince Yan's dignity.
"I must remind Miss Hongyu that if you want to follow Prince Yan openly and legitimately, you must be a girl from a noble family. It is not too late for Miss Hongyu to enter Prince Yan's mansion after she has settled her background."
Hongyu nodded.
Wasn't the Empress's intention simply to remind her to elevate her status? But... she had already denied being the Grand Tutor's daughter to Prince Yan, so how could she be so fickle?
She pondered for a long time, then frowned and went to the courtyard. The Empress and Prince Yan had already left, leaving only Liu Yu and Chen Yu.
"Yu Yu, Yu Lang has dismissed the male concubines in the inner quarters. The Duke's Mansion sent a matchmaker to the Mu family to propose marriage, but Master Mu did not agree to our marriage. Don't worry, Yu Lang will plead with the officials. If all else fails, Yu Lang will take Yu Yu and elope far away..."
Liu Yu seemed to have gone mad, babbling incessantly at Chen Yu and pressing her relentlessly.
