"Your Highness, Concubine Ming has the support of the Ming family, and Concubine Chen is just a commoner. If the two women fight, even if Concubine Ming uses her power to bully others, Your Highness should think twice." The former staff member accepted the silver from Concubine Ming and was sure to speak for her.
But this also involved a huge risk. Who would have known that the concubine Chen who suddenly appeared in the Crown Prince's backyard would actually catch the Crown Prince's eye and become a dark horse.
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still only the Crown Prince after all, and he has a group of young and promising younger brothers. The current emperor is in his prime, and if he wants to ascend the throne smoothly, he cannot do without the help of his in-laws.
"We can't afford to offend the Ming family at this time. Anyone with a little common sense can understand that there is no need to lose face for the Ming family for a mere concubine." Aide Wang also echoed.
The former staff member secretly glanced at the prince, not daring to speak, but frowned deeply. What Wang said was not wrong, but it seemed like he was adding fuel to the fire.
This is to create a rift between the Crown Prince and the Ming family. Even if he endures it this time, when the Crown Prince is in power in the future, he will remember what happened today and settle the score later.
This plot was probably the work of several other ladies in the backyard whose families were in power.
But, never mind, these are just tricks of the women in the backyard competing for favor. There is no need to make a big deal about it before the prince ascends the throne.
Ying Haoze listened to their words but didn't say a word in response. He looked more serious than before, and his dignity was even greater than before.
He waved everyone away and sat alone in the study in a daze.
He was reborn. What a great opportunity! How many people in the world could have such great luck as him?
In his previous life, as the crown prince, he had been honored since birth. His father had held him in his arms and taught him when he was a child. He also thought that he was the next generation heir to the throne.
But as his father grew older, he looked at him with increasingly hostile eyes, even supporting his brothers to oppose him. He had never been provoked like this since he was a child, so he naturally fought back against his brothers' tactics.
But how could he, alone, fight against his many younger brothers who had the emperor's support?
He gained a reputation as someone who was unworthy of his position.
Deposed and imprisoned.
Later, his younger brothers were probably too powerful, and his father could no longer control them. At this time, he remembered the merits of his eldest son, and pulled him out and put him on the position of crown prince, and once again became the target of public criticism.
After being deposed again, he was not so lucky. The inconspicuous eleventh prince became the ultimate winner. After his father was finally killed by various assassinations, he ascended the throne and became the emperor. He, the former crown prince, became a thorn in the side of the new emperor.
As for what you said about raising him as a mascot to show the new emperor's magnanimity, the new emperor disdains to do so. He suffered so much in the harem when he was a child, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been living a life of luxury since childhood, and has been high and mighty and favored. He is jealous and resentful.
Before sending the former crown prince to the west, he was made to experience the same suffering that the new emperor had endured in his childhood, and only then was he finally put to death.
Ying Haoze felt that he couldn't think about it anymore. If he thought about it again, he would feel hungry. His hands and feet would not only be weak but also itchy. These were the sequelae left over from his previous life. Just thinking about it now made him feel the same.
Serve the food!
"What did you say? His Highness asked the kitchen to send a large table of delicious food?" Crown Princess Zhang was shocked when she heard the news from the nanny.
The women in this courtyard are well aware of how proud Concubine Chen has been in the Prince's Mansion for the past three months. This time, Concubine Chen has been wronged, and all of these women are secretly laughing at Concubine Ming's joke.
Everyone is betting that Concubine Ming is going to hit a wall this time. In the past, Concubine Ming relied on her family background to show off her power in the Prince's Mansion, but this time it all depends on who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will favor.
Many people, such as the Crown Princess, have the intention of testing the bottom line of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so it all depends on the weight of Concubine Chen.
Of course, it would be a great thing to take this opportunity to overthrow Ming's concubine, but the little concubine Chen was not taken seriously by the Crown Princess and the like.
Such women are just better looking. What powerful families like theirs lack the least is beautiful women.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will get tired of it sooner or later.
Ying Haoze had no time to care about the thoughts of the women in the harem. Filling his stomach was the top priority.
He looked at the table full of delicious food and his appetite was whetted.
"Little Jinzi, everyone in the kitchen has a reward today."
When Concubine Ming was feeling restless in her bedroom, news came about her punishment: she would be put in solitary confinement.
I originally wanted to make some friends with the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, but when I heard that Concubine Chen was directly thrown into prison, the slight unhappiness in my heart disappeared.
"Yinsuo, show it to the eunuch." Concubine Ming was in a good mood and liked everything she saw.
As he watched the bedroom door close, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Your Majesty, you are indeed unique in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. No one can compare to you. That concubine Chen thought that she had gained favor overnight and turned into a phoenix. She even dared to provoke Your Majesty. Now we know who His Royal Highness really supports." Yinsuo knew what his master wanted to hear, so he said it.
Her master had been spoiled since childhood and was not very smart. In this Prince's Mansion, if it were not for the support of the Ming family, he would have died countless times.
"Don't talk nonsense. No matter what, I can't compare to the Crown Princess. In His Highness' heart, the Crown Princess is naturally more important." Concubine Ming thought that she was the number one person in the Crown Prince's heart, but she wanted to bring up the Crown Princess in her words. She did it on purpose, deliberately stepping on the Crown Princess.
With the power of her Ming family, she was definitely worthy of the position of Crown Princess, but her father only asked for the position of concubine for her. It was only after she insisted on marrying the Crown Prince and made it known to everyone that she got her wish.
Otherwise, who knows who her father would marry her to.
But she had been accustomed to a life of luxury since she was a child, so of course she had to marry the most noble man in the world to make the etiquette she had learned for more than ten years worthwhile.
My aunt has already become a concubine of the current emperor, so she can only settle for marrying the prince, the future emperor.
"I am not talking nonsense. In two days, His Majesty will definitely come to see the Empress again, and we will lift the Empress's house arrest. It is said to be three months, but in fact, it is only two or three days." Yinsuo carefully supported Concubine Ming and did not forget to compliment her.
"You're the only one who can talk. Go get a ring from my treasure box and try it on for fun."
"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty." Jinsuo served even more attentively.
Her mother has a bad temper, but she is easy to coax as long as you find the right method.
----
"Your Highness's handling of Concubine Chen was indeed a wise move." The former aide couldn't help but sigh that he had followed the right person.
The position of the crown prince is not easy. Once something happens to the crown prince, most of his subordinates will become pawns and die first to appease the emperor's anger.
