Chapter 388: The Wedding Date Moves Forward
Chen Lihua still agreed with the old lady's words.
Queen Wei never had any intention to harm anyone. She always used her kindness and tolerance to diligently manage all matters in the harem.
She has never had any regrets and is a role model for women.
Chen Lihua said, "When I was young, I used to resent Queen Wei for replacing me as queen. But now looking at her situation, it's not much better than mine. In fact, it's even worse than mine."
"We are both very unfortunate women, because we both married the same selfish emperor who only cares about exploitation and has no true love."
"Now, I no longer resent Queen Wei. After all, she has never done anything to wrong me. I hope she can have a good outcome!"
After hearing Chen Lihua's words, the old nanny chuckled softly, and then in an extremely gentle tone, she softly comforted, "Master is kind-hearted. After all, this Queen Wei is also a person who makes people feel extremely distressed."
"She is too pure and kind, too soft-hearted. In that treacherous harem, it would be extremely difficult for her to gain a foothold for a long time."
"If she didn't have a brother with illustrious military achievements and a nephew who was always victorious, giving her some leverage, how could Emperor Wu of Qin have allowed her to sit comfortably on the throne of Empress for so long?"
"Perhaps she has already been banished to the cold palace, and the ending will definitely not be good."
Chen Lihua agreed very much with the old lady's words.
The old nanny continued, "At least, even if Emperor Wu of Qin deposed the master from the throne, he would only expel you from the palace, but he wouldn't dare to assassinate you, let alone treat you harshly."
"If Queen Wei hadn't had Wei Zixing and Bai Wuji as her strong backing, she would have been deposed long ago. She might even have lost her life. By now, the grass on her grave would have been so tall!"
"Compared this way, the master has lived a carefree life in the 'Xiangshan Villa' for over twenty years, much more comfortably than Empress Wei."
"Unlike her, who worked so hard but received nothing good in return. Emperor Wu of Qin even treated her like a stranger."
Chen Lihua raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile.
"You're not without reason. This princess has lived a carefree life in the 'Xiangshan Villa' for so many years. Now that the imperial power is about to fall into the hands of my son, it can be considered a great victory..."
Thinking of the throne that was about to be obtained, a bright smile appeared on Chen Lihua's face.
The old nanny continued, "In the harem right now, Empress Wei is pure and kind, so there's no need to worry. Imperial Concubine Li has lost her power and is no longer a factor. Queen Mother Wang is old and doesn't care about anything. Therefore, there's no need to worry about anyone in the harem. They can't threaten the master's plans."
"However, I heard that Huo Yuchen was married to a young princess. She is not only beautiful, but also brave and resourceful. She is not an easy character to deal with. Master, you still have to be more cautious about this woman."
Chen Lihua sneered.
"No matter how smart she is, she is too young and inexperienced. Why should we be afraid of her?"
"Don't believe rumors, don't spread them, and don't scare yourself."
"Isn't this just boosting others' ambitions and destroying my own prestige?"
Hearing her master say this, the old nanny didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of offending her master and causing trouble for herself.
Besides, she is old and there is no need for her to suffer anymore.
It is better to have less trouble than more.

In the hall of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion,
At this time, Lin Pianran, who was mentioned by Chen Lihua, was sitting opposite Huo Yuchen.
The two of them formed a subtle confrontation.
Huo Yuchen looked at Lin Pianran tenderly and said in a low voice, "We will get married the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"
This news shocked Lin Pianran so much that she almost jumped up from her chair.
She felt confused. She had originally thought that it would take at least half a month before the two of them could hold their wedding, but she didn't expect the wedding date to be moved forward so much.
This caught Lin Pianran off guard.
She couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, why do you have to do it so early?"
"Is it because Chen Lihua returned to the palace?"
Huo Yuchen nodded slightly.
"It has something to do with Chen Lihua's return to the palace, but there's another important reason. Although my mother is the head of the harem, I'm worried she won't be able to handle the many major events that are coming. After we get married, Pianpian will be able to enter the palace at any time."
"This way, I can take care of my mother and the eldest princess, and at the same time, I can quickly respond to any incidents in the harem."
"Whether it's Chen Lihua's hateful plot, Prince Duan's possible plan to force the emperor to abdicate, or the foreign princess's impending turmoil in the harem, the Queen Mother will definitely not be able to withstand it. She can only rely on Pian Pian to calm the situation..."
After thinking about it carefully, Lin Pianran understood why Huo Yuchen made this decision.
Now is the critical moment of the final battle, and no mistakes or omissions are allowed.
Once the prince's party fails, no one will have a good ending. In order to be on the safe side, Huo Yuchen's proposal is a good move.
For Lin Pianran, it doesn't matter whether she gets married a few days earlier or later, and there is no difference at all.
Although the early wedding date disrupted her original plans, as long as she adjusted as soon as possible, there would be no problem at all.
After thinking it through, Lin Pianran quickly accepted the fact that the wedding date was moved forward.
She smiled and said playfully, "Your Highness, you are in such a hurry to get married, are you coveting my beauty?"
This sentence ignited the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
Huo Yuchen walked slowly to Lin Pianran, stretched out his long arms, and hugged Lin Pianran in his arms.
Then he lowered his head and met Lin Pianran's eyes, and laughed and retorted, "Pianpian should know that I have been drooling over you for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that I was so busy with various things recently, maybe we would have been married a long time ago!"
"The wedding date has been delayed again and again, so moving it forward now is exactly what I want."
Lin Pianran glared at Huo Yuchen unhappily.
"If you really wanted to get married soon, you wouldn't have put it off until now."
"In short, I don't believe what Your Highness says."
Listening to Lin Pianran's faint accusation, Huo Yuchen felt a little guilty.
"I'm sorry, Pianpian. No matter what, I didn't keep my promise at the Royal Hunting Grounds. Now, at this critical moment, I've asked you to take on this responsibility. This is all because of my poor performance."
What Lin Pianran said just now was just a joke between the two of them.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yuchen took it seriously.
