Chapter 6: The Angry Emperor with No Heir x The Cannon Fodder Female Match and the Concubine 6

"Princess, there is news."

The eldest princess of the Prime Minister's Mansion received a report from an informant early in the morning.

Looking at the secret letter in her hand, the princess narrowed her eyes and said, "Oh, I didn't expect that the Queen Mother and the Emperor actually believed in Buddhism."

Qiao Zhenzhen snuggled in the eldest princess's lap and thought for a moment, "Mother, now that Aunt Qiao is missing, will it affect Father's plan?"

"Why? Are you afraid that your father will blame you?" The eldest princess glanced at Qiao Zhenzhen and tapped her forehead. "Your father had long ago told us to lock her up in the mansion, but you insisted on locking her up in the manor. Now that she's missing, are you afraid now?"

Qiao Zhenzhen pouted her red lips, her eyes full of jealousy towards Qiao Jinjin, "My daughter just doesn't like her. I thought that no matter how I treat her in the manor, it won't affect your reputation as a mother."

The princess thought for a moment and sighed, "Mother will persuade your father, but we can't give up looking for that bastard."

"It would be fine if she died outside, but I'm afraid she would spread rumors. Now is a critical moment, and we must not let others catch us."

Qiao Zhenzhen rolled her eyes, and thinking of Li Huaijiang's words, she asked, "Brother Huaijiang said that only I can be his wife in the future. Mother, if Brother Huaijiang becomes the emperor, then I will be the empress?"

The "little devil" princess still dotes on Qiao Zhenzhen, but this doting must be within the limits of power.

"Mom, why haven't I seen my brother recently?"

The princess's eyes flickered, she pursed her red lips and said, "Take care of yourself first, your brother is not as disobedient as you."

"Okay, mother is tired, you go down first"

It was not until Qiao Zhenzhen left the room that the princess said to her personal maid Xueying, "It's getting cold these days, so those who are taking care of the young master should be more alert."

Xueying brought the princess a cup of hot tea and thought for a moment, "Princess, now the young master is very close to the queen's nephew. Isn't it a bit conspicuous?"

The eldest princess' eyes flashed with coldness, and she said sarcastically, "I have my own plans, don't worry about it, go and call the old man over."

"yes"

Prime Minister Qiao is worthy of being favored by the eldest princess. Although he is already over 30 years old, he looks very handsome, with an upright posture and big steps when he walks.

"lady"

Hearing Prime Minister Qiao's voice, the princess smiled and asked, "My dear, have you got the news?"

Prime Minister Qiao helped the princess sit down and said, "The Queen was reprimanded by the Emperor and has not come out of Yongning Palace these days."

"What?" The princess was shocked. "Why didn't I get a reply to the message I sent? This won't do."

"Madam, don't worry. If the Queen's nephew's path doesn't work, we will support Li Huaijiang."

After hearing what Prime Minister Qiao said, the princess pondered for a moment, "Now Li Huaijiang has promised Zhenzhen to be his wife, but Li Huaijiang and that girl are still engaged."

Prime Minister Qiao didn't care about Aunt Qiao at all. To him, Aunt Qiao was a shame. After all, Aunt Qiao's mother was just a village woman, and it was a great blessing for her to live with him for a few years.

"If the girl is still not found after a while, announce to the public that she is dead. In that case, the engagement will be void."

The princess snorted sarcastically, "I don't know what the old lady is thinking. She insisted on arranging this engagement for that girl."

Speaking of the old lady, Prime Minister Qiao immediately frowned and said, "Okay, my mother has been gone for several years. What's the point of bringing this up now?"

"Okay," the princess stroked her hair, thought for a moment and said, "Are you sure that the emperor really won't have children? I'm afraid that if our plan is good, and he suddenly has a child, then our plan will fail."

Prime Minister Qiao sneered and said, "The emperor can't have children. Even if he can have children, we will find a way to get rid of them."

——————————————

Aunt Qiao looked at the Prime Minister's Mansion outside the carriage, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes, and her little hands were clenched tightly.

Mo Liyuan, who was always paying attention to him, took in her every move. His eyebrows flickered and he said, "Jia Jin Qiao, Prime Minister Qiao..."

"Auntie, when we return to the palace, I will issue an edict to make you my concubine."

Jinjin Qiao retracted her gaze, looked up at Mo Liyuan and said, "Your Majesty, I don't care about any position. As long as Your Majesty has me in his heart, that's enough."

Mo Liyuan hugged Jinjin Qiao into his arms and narrowed his eyes meaningfully.

Jin Jin Qiao was arranged to stay in Kunning Palace, which was not far from Yangxin Palace. This was the result of a joint discussion between Mo Liyuan and the Queen Mother. According to the Queen Mother, it would be easier to get things done if the location was closer.

"Your Majesty, this place has been urgently renovated. If you find anything unsatisfactory, I will order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to renovate it."

Listening to the words of the eunuch in front of her, Aunt Qiao smiled and said, "What's your name? I haven't been canonized yet, so it's not appropriate to call me Empress."

The eunuch knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head. "To answer your Majesty, my name is Xiao Qing. The Emperor has specifically told us that your Majesty will be the Princess Yuan in the future. This Kunning Palace was supposed to be the Empress's palace, but the Emperor did not allow anyone else to live in it, so he arranged for the Empress to live in the Yongning Palace."

Yuan Fei, this is the palace where the empress should have lived...Jin Jin Qiao was satisfied with the emperor's actions, but the same could not be said for the women in the harem.

"This place is great, no need to renovate it, but the decoration is a bit too gaudy for my liking, make it more elegant"

"Yes, I will give the order now."

After Mo Liyuan personally sent Jinjin Qiao back to Kunning Palace, he returned to Yangxin Palace.

"An Yi, check on Concubine Yuan to see if she has any relationship with Prime Minister Qiao."

Mo Liyuan sat on a chair, tapping on the table as he looked at the memorials submitted by the ministers.

Mo Liyuan's actions caused a sensation in the harem, especially among the Queen and Concubine Yu.

"Snap"

"Your Majesty, what does this mean? Where does this put me?"

Aunt Zhang stroked the empress's back with concern, held her hand and said, "My queen, be careful, your hands hurt."

"My hands hurt, Madam, but my heart hurts even more."

The Queen's eyes were red, she bit her lip and said, "When I was crowned Queen, the Emperor said that Kunning Palace was too close to Yangxin Palace, so he kept it vacant to prevent the harem from interfering in government affairs."

"He went to Mount Jiuhua and brought back a woman. He even gave her Kunning Palace to live in. What kind of woman could be so capable that the emperor would make an exception for her?"

"Your Highness," Nanny Zhang looked at the empress whom she had brought up from childhood, feeling helpless in her heart, "You don't need to do anything. The emperor is already very dissatisfied with you. With Concubine Yu Gui around, what good can a woman brought into the palace by the emperor have?"

The Queen closed her eyes, smiled coldly and said, "Mammy is right. Send someone to find out Concubine Yu Gui's reaction."
