Chapter 143 Otherwise, your peacock will not be spreading its tail in vain
But Concubine Shun snorted softly, "Can she accomplish anything with her attitude? She's more likely to cause trouble than success. I hope she doesn't drag me and Yan'er into this."
"Besides, I know my own son well. It's not that I look down on my own son, but a man like Yan'er wouldn't be able to become the emperor. He would die at his doorstep the moment he even starts to compete for the throne."
"Well, even if he gets lucky enough to sit on that throne, you've watched him grow up. Even someone like Bu Yanfu can fool him with his brain. How long can he stay on the throne?"
"By then, he will probably be the emperor with the shortest reign in the entire Great Zhou. I can't afford to lose face with him, and I don't have such big ambitions."
"Let me put it this way. From the beginning to the end, I never thought of him becoming the emperor. Wouldn't it be nice to be a leisurely prince? Why did he have to fight so hard and risk his life to get that position? How foolish of him!"
The nanny nodded: "Your Majesty is right, the prince... is indeed not suitable for that position. Then, Your Majesty asked me to go to Prince Zhan's mansion to sell Prince Zhan, okay?"
"That's right." Concubine Shun stood up and walked to the window to look out. "I have thought about this for a long time. If the Crown Prince is really deposed, the one most likely to take that position is not the other princes or Prince Su, but Prince Zhan."
"The War King has 3,000 armored guards, which is comparable to an army of 50,000 men, and the Princess of War has the Bu Family Army, which is enough for a rebellion."
"My father is a soft-hearted person. If the Crown Prince is deposed, he will inevitably be instigated to let Yan'er take the throne. I have already written to my father to completely abandon this idea and turn to King Zhan instead."
"This way, when Prince Zhan ascends the throne, my son will have a chance to survive and avoid being liquidated. And Prince Zhan's wife is obviously not an ordinary person. In her eyes, Bu Yanfu is just a clown."
The nanny suddenly realized that her master had long seen through the prince's true nature and had taught him not to fight or compete since he was a child, no matter how ridiculous he behaved outside. He only got angry when he divorced Wen.
Now that I think about it, the emperor had more than four sons, but now there are only four left.
The more stupid the prince behaves, the less people will care about him. Not only will he be able to save his life, but whoever succeeds to the throne in the future will also treat his prince well in order to demonstrate his benevolence as a monarch, but the prerequisite is that her prince is not threatening.
…
On the second day, Bu Ruo, who was feeling upset at home, indeed received a visiting card from Bu Yanfu.
Bu Ruo was in a bad mood and didn't want to go when she saw the post, but when she thought about what the nanny next to Concubine Shun said yesterday, she agreed.
"Invite her to Yanzhi Tower. If she is really like what the nanny said, this princess wouldn't mind letting her see what real poison is."
Jin Congcong shrank his neck while sweeping the floor: "Ruo'er, calm down. I think you have become more and more crazy since the prince left."
"But... can you take me with you when you go see Bu Yanfu this afternoon? I've been sweeping the floor for several days now, and my hands are almost blistered. I also want to go out for a walk."
Bu Ruo glanced at him and said, "You're still feeling wronged. If I don't watch over you, I'm afraid your spiritual awareness will be useless for the rest of your life. And don't you feel any changes in your body these past few days?"
Jin Congcong thought for a moment and said, "It seems there have been some changes. Although I've been exhausted from sweeping the floor every day recently, I feel a lot more relaxed after waking up the next day. Even my brain seems to be working a little better."
"Your body is indeed stronger than before, but I don't see that in your brain." Bu Ruo stood up, "Let's stop here this morning. Aren't you going with me this afternoon? Why don't you go back and clean up? Dress cleanly, so I don't get upset when you look dirty."
Jin Congcong: ...
Forget it, forget it. Don’t mess with a woman in a bad mood. Bu Yanfu is probably in trouble today.
Thinking about the fun to watch in the afternoon, Jin Congcong threw down the broom and happily ran back to change clothes.
When Bu Ruo saw someone waiting at the gate of the mansion in the afternoon, he almost tripped over the threshold.
"Jin Congcong, what are you doing dressed like a colorful peacock? You're here to watch the fun, not to attend a beauty pageant!"
Jin Congcong looked down at his colorful robe and said, "I think it's okay. I used to be a little scared to go out alone, so I always wore low-key colors like black, white and gray."
"I'm sure everything will be fine if I go out with you today. I just pulled out my favorite robe and wanted to look pretty. Maybe I'll even meet my soulmate."
Bu Ruo took a deep breath, wanting to say something but unable to speak, she got on the carriage helplessly. Jin Congcong sat outside the carriage with the driver like a peacock with its tail spread out, and could not be pulled in...
"Princess, will Master Jin meet his true love today?"
Bu Ruochong rolled his eyes and said, "Don't even mention today, I won't meet him this year!"
Seeing Bi'er's curious eyes, Bu Ruo whispered, "Actually, I've already shown him my true love. He'll find his true love when he's thirty, so it's still too early for him."
"Thirty years old?" Bi'er's eyes widened. "That really can't be told to Master Jin. He'll be so worried."
"There's no point in being anxious. He's not destined for that fate. And even if he gets married in the future, he won't have any money. Tsk tsk, how miserable~"
Just as Bu Ruo finished speaking, Jin Congcong popped his head in and said, "Who has no money? Besides me, who else has no money? Tell me and I'll be happy."
"No one, hurry up and sit still, don't fall down, or you'll be spreading your peacock feathers in vain."
Beau: ...
Jin Congcong: ...
"Ruo'er, we've arrived at Rouge Tower."
As soon as Bu Ruo sat down on the second floor, Bu Yanfu came. When she saw Bu Ruo sitting there coldly with priceless jewelry on her body, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
"I have met the Empress Dowager."
Bu Ruo glanced at her with undisguised disdain in his eyes: "Only the principal and concubines of Prince Yongning, who are listed in the royal family tree, can call me the princess the emperor's sister-in-law. You, a concubine, are not qualified to call me that."
Bu Yanfu bit her lip and said, "Princess, you are teaching me a lesson. I have overstepped the bounds."
"Princess, I came here to discuss something with you. Can you please let those who don't want to work leave first..."
"No." Bu Ruo didn't even glance at her: "There are no outsiders here. If you want to talk, just talk. If you don't want to talk, the door is over there and you can leave at any time."
Bu Yanfu was furious but didn't dare show it. She could only whisper, "Princess, the Crown Prince is about to be deposed. I have a way to help Prince Zhan take that position."
Bu Yanfu said as she moved closer to sit next to Bu Ruo, but was separated by Bi'er and Jin Congcong at the same time: "If the princess doesn't ask you to sit, just stand over there and talk. Don't come any closer."
