Chapter 201 should be a complete victory.
"Because your father isn't the emperor!" Hua Yueniang casually uttered this sentence.
Huawanli......
Well, that is indeed the biggest difference.
Her father wasn't an emperor; he was a top assassin...
In fact, even if the mother didn't try to insert it, the father would probably still refuse if someone else did.
I have been to Ruyi Alliance many times. It is a place my father frequents, but there has never been any trace of women serving me.
Even the washing of personal clothing was done by servants.
My father's life at Ruyi Alliance was even more disciplined than that of a monk...
"Wanli, things in the palace are far more complicated than we think."
The emperor's empress, imperial concubines, and even the lowest palace maids would all know.
The imperial family will not belong to any one woman exclusively.
The imperial family might dote on a woman, sometimes even exclusively.
However, the imperial family would never have only one woman.
Because he loved his kingdom more than those women.
He needed those women to maintain his relationship with those important officials and to use them to balance the power between different families.
Anyone who sits on the throne of empress will surely know these things.
Therefore, the Empress would not care who the Emperor favored or took as a concubine.
But the Empress would worry whether that woman would pose a threat to the Crown Prince's position or to herself.
"As long as it doesn't affect these things, the Empress doesn't care," Shen Qingyue continued.
Hua Wanli understood.
It's all about business... well, it's all about calculation!
"Marrying into the palace must be exhausting! There's so much to plan, it's not suitable for us martial arts practitioners." Hua Wanli quickly shook her head.
"Don't worry, you won't have a chance. Members of the royal family lose their virginity early on, so it's not suitable for you," Hua Yueniang added from the side.
Huawanli......
Shen Qingyue smiled and then looked at Shangguan Jin.
"Mother, are you aware of all that the Empress has done?"
Shangguan Jin shook her head.
"She only told me that she would guarantee that Zheng Mengdie would not marry into our household."
I don't need to know anything else.
During those few days, something must have happened that caused the Queen to change her original plans.
Otherwise, Miss Zheng wouldn't have been so cooperative.
He even managed to get into bed with the most powerful person in Chongqing.
Our Empress Xu's shrewdness and extensive connections far exceed our imagination!
Shangguan Jin's words made Hua Yueniang and the others nod repeatedly.
Yes, in just a few days, she managed to disrupt the Empress Dowager's plans. No wonder she can sit so firmly in the Empress's position!
......
In the palace, Empress Xu was in a good mood.
She leaned against the soft couch, playing with a white jade ring in her hand.
The head palace maid beside her told her about the current situation in the palace.
"The Imperial Concubine smashed a lot of things in the palace and gave the newly promoted Consort Die a thorough dressing-down."
Everything that could be thrown was thrown.
Although there wasn't such a big commotion in the Empress Dowager's palace, three palace servants were still punished with a board early in the morning.
It's estimated that it will be crippled.
Two eunuchs were also forced to kneel at the palace gate, and their legs will probably be ruined.
The messenger who went to the Duke of Anguo's residence this morning to deliver the imperial decree returned and said that the Duke and Duchess of Anguo did not smile at all.
They didn't even give the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict the reward he was entitled to.
Your Majesty, do you think Consort Die's days in the palace will be difficult from now on?
"After all, the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine both despise her now!" the head palace maid said with a smile.
Empress Xu reached out her hand, and the head palace maid immediately helped her sit up.
I wouldn't say I hate them all.
The Imperial Concubine might dislike her, but the Empress Dowager might not.
The Empress Dowager was angry because these things disrupted her plans; she had failed to achieve her original goal of embarrassing the Empress.
Furthermore, after this incident of Consort Die climbing into the emperor's bed, all the things the Zheng family had been boasting about were gone.
What do you mean the Zheng family is a family of phoenixes?
Are those methods any different from those used by ordinary palace maids?
If this Consort Die has the means to win His Majesty's favor, then the Empress Dowager will definitely treat her differently.
After all, the emergence of a favored concubine at this time would be a blow to me!
"Therefore, if Consort Die is clever, she would be best off using every means at her disposal to gain His Majesty's exclusive favor," Empress Xu said calmly.
The head palace maid agreed that it made sense.
"Then Your Majesty..."
"Don't worry, I will lend her a hand when necessary."
"I won this game, and I won it beautifully," Empress Xu said calmly.
The head palace maid looked extremely respectful.
"This is all thanks to Your Majesty's excellent planning; everything is in line with your plan."
Empress Xu looked at the smooth, warm white jade ring in her hand and smiled.
"Even if the plan is good, it still needs the cooperation of others!"
However, what pleased me most this time was the attitude of Madam Shen from the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.
Once the marriage alliance with the Shen family is established, and the heir takes up a post in the north, the north will be the crown prince's for the taking.
My father is in the imperial court, and the Weiyuan Army is in the north.
"The position of Crown Prince is now untouchable."
The head palace maid thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.
Previously, people said that the position of Crown Prince was unstable, simply because the Crown Prince did not have military power.
Although Prime Minister Xu controlled the court, he was still a bit weak compared to the Great Yu, which relied on warhorses to conquer the world.
"With Your Highness's planning, how can you not achieve great things in the future?"
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince will understand your good intentions," said the head palace maid.
Empress Xu sighed.
"Jinxiu, you are someone I brought from the Xu family, someone who grew up with me, and someone who understands me best."
The Crown Prince's qualifications... can only be described as being able to govern the world and protect the Great Yu.
This will inevitably require me and the Prime Minister to devise plans for him.
Everything I'm doing now is for him.
Even if he ascends to the throne in the future, he can still rely on this method to control the Weiyuan Army.
At that time, the Marquis of Changsheng and the Duke of Dingguo's mansion would definitely have a falling out over the position of commander of the Weiyuan Army.
As for who will be the commander-in-chief, in the end, isn't it all up to the crown prince's word?
But what about the Crown Prince...?
She's been angry with me more than once or twice because she wouldn't let her concubine have a child before the Crown Princess.
I don't mind, but His Majesty might have his own thoughts.
Princess Qin is pregnant; it's unknown whether she will give birth to a grandson or a princess.
As for the Crown Prince, his wife finally got pregnant, but then she miscarried.
The Crown Prince is not in a hurry at all; in fact, he wants his concubine to get pregnant first.
The fact that the crown prince has no children will be criticized by others.
"Jinxiu, pass on a message to the Crown Prince, asking him to come see me tomorrow," Empress Xu said solemnly.
The head palace maid quickly agreed.
