The home of Li Shangshu, the Minister of War.
"Miss, I have heard everything clearly. His Majesty intends to appoint you as a concubine to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The maid of Li Mengxue, the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, reported to her happily.
"Are you sure? Your Majesty really intends to introduce me to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Li Mengxue asked excitedly.
Crown Prince Yun Yin is the object of admiration of most of the noble ladies in the Yun Dynasty. Although Emperor Yun has other sons, who can say that the backyard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the adult prince, is the cleanest now?
Moreover, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the outstanding heir who has been carefully cultivated by Emperor Yun, these noble ladies naturally dream of marrying him and becoming queen after he ascends the throne.
It’s just a pity that after so many years, Lin Wushuang from the Lin family became the Crown Princess.
"Tsk, why did His Majesty choose Lin Wushuang to be the Crown Princess? Is she worthy?" Li Mengxue said jealously.
Li Mengxue is the most suitable person to be the Crown Princess. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is also good at managing household finances. She also has the reputation of being the most talented woman in the capital.
Although her father was the Minister of War, he was actually a civil servant, so she was well-read in poetry and books since childhood.
Only an outstanding woman like her is suitable to be the Crown Princess. How could Lin Wushuang, a woman who has nothing but her face, become the Crown Princess?
Is she worthy of being the mother of a country?
"Young lady, you're right. Young lady Lin is indeed unworthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Li Mengxue's maid coaxed her master, "The most suitable person for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the world is you, young lady."
Although she said this to coax Li Mengxue, she also half sincerely felt that her own young lady was the best and the most suitable for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
For so many years, the girl from the Lin family has only been famous for her outstanding appearance, and she never mentions any other advantages when asked.
So, how did the girl from the Lin family become the Crown Princess?
In fact, this maid had another idea. If her daughter was the Crown Princess, maybe she could also become a phoenix.
If her daughter becomes the Crown Princess, and because of poor health, she can't serve the Crown Prince during her menstrual period or when she's pregnant, and then she's promoted to become the Crown Prince's concubine...
That would be great.
Who wouldn’t like a husband as outstanding as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Anyway, Li Mengxue's maid liked it very much. When her daughter fantasized about becoming the Crown Princess, she also fantasized about becoming the Crown Prince's concubine.
The maid knew very well that with her status she could not aspire to a higher position, and she certainly could not climb to the position of Crown Princess or Concubine.
But she can be a concubine.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could ascend the throne as emperor one day, she might even be promoted to be a concubine.
With this purpose in mind, the maidservant kept claiming that her daughter must be the most suitable candidate for the Crown Princess, and that no one else was qualified.
"Yes, you're right." Li Mengxue was very happy with the maid's coaxing and nodded in agreement, "Lin Wushuang is useless except for her face. The daughter of the great Taifu is surprisingly not well-known for her talent."
"How can such a person be worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Li Mengxue said unwillingly.
"Why is she the Crown Princess, while I can only be a concubine?" Li Mengxue said jealously. She was really unwilling to accept this.
"Besides me, who else has been chosen by His Majesty to be the Crown Prince's concubine?" Li Mengxue asked.
"The daughter of Censor Zhao and the daughter of General Ming..." the maid said, "Don't worry, young lady. They are definitely not as good as you."
Censor Zhao was only a third-rank official, while Li Mengxue's father was a second-rank minister. Although General Ming was also a second-rank official, her father was also a second-rank official.
Therefore, among the three women chosen by Emperor Yun to be Yun Yin's concubines, only Li Mengxue has the highest status. Of course, she is still not as good as the daughter of a first-rank tutor.
"It's Zhao Yunmei and Minglan..." Li Mengxue gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll wait and see what tricks they have."
…
"Your Highness, can you let me go?" Wushuang asked helplessly as she looked at the man who was holding her tightly.
Yun Yin carried Wushuang onto the carriage, then held her in his arms, staring at her and saying, "Do you want to be on equal terms with Gu Ju'an and treat him with respect?"
Wushuang smiled and said, "Isn't this good? Who hasn't come this way?"
Although Emperor Yun had not appointed a queen for many years, and even brought the prince to his side to raise him after the death of the late queen, Wushuang actually knew that Emperor Yun did not have much affection for the late queen.
The late Queen was indeed very important to Emperor Yun, but if she were alive today, Emperor Yun might not like her as much, or like Crown Prince Yun Yin as much.
And wasn't Yun Yin, the favored prince, deposed in the end?
Wushuang stared at the man's face. She really couldn't tell from his face how much he looked like Emperor Yun and how much he looked like the late Queen.
"I don't want to treat you with respect..." the man said, pinching Wushuang's waist.
As the man spoke, his big hands moved and his brows raised slightly.
This woman has a really thin waist.
Now they were in the carriage, with the servants all outside. Wushuang leaned directly into his arms, leaning against him like a gentle ball of water, and said, "So, what does Your Highness want me to do?"
"Your Highness, what do you want me to do?" Wushuang's slender hands stroked the lines of his face, and she smiled charmingly, "What kind of wife do you want?"
Yun Yin looked at her like this, his Adam's apple rolled a few times, and he swallowed his saliva and said, "Miss Lin, I'd better take you back."
