"Mother, are you really planning to choose concubines for my two younger brothers?" Ye Feiyu came back from the imperial study and went straight to the queen's palace.
Lan Xianxian was lying on her side on the couch, with a palace maid lowering her head to help massage her. After hearing her son's words, she sat up lazily and said, "After all, I am their legitimate mother. Although your second prince looks a bit disgusting, he is of marriageable age. If I don't ask about it at all, it will inevitably attract gossip."
Ye Feiyu smiled disdainfully and said, "He looks like that and has done nothing. Who in a normal family would be interested in him?"
Lan Xianxian smiled faintly and said, "After all, he is also the son of your father. He may be a little ugly, but the Second Prince's wife still has some status. After all, she is also the daughter-in-law of the royal family. If there are those who are bent on currying favor with the emperor, they will still be willing to marry her."
Ye Feiyu asked, "Then what kind of woman with what background is Queen Mother planning to find as a concubine for that ugly bastard?"
Lan Xianxian said, "No matter who you find, you can't compare to the status of the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. So, she can't compare to this girl Feng Wan. Don't ask too much. Now is the most important time to start arranging your marriage. You must remember that after you get married, you and Feng Wan must hurry to give birth to a legitimate son."
Ye Feiyu said: "Mother, don't worry, after Feng Wan and I get married, I will make sure she gets pregnant with the royal heir as soon as possible."
Lan Xianxian nodded in satisfaction and said, "Your wedding is still more than three months away, just before the New Year. By then, both the principal wife and the concubine will marry into the family, which will be a double blessing. Your father has already prepared a palace for you. With Feng Wan taking care of you in the future, your mother will be relieved."
Ye Feiyu asked, "Then mother, do you know what title of king my father gave me?"
Lan Xianxian frowned and said, "Your father only said that on your wedding day, he would personally write a plaque and send it to your palace."
Ye Feiyu smiled proudly and said, "Mother, my father has been quite impressed with me these past few days. I will definitely be able to confer a good title of prince upon me when the time comes."
Lan Xianxian pondered for a moment and said, "Fei Yu, I feel like our father seems to be hiding something from us. You know he's already wary of the Lan family, so why would he let you assist him in government affairs? From now on, you should be more cautious around your father, understand?"
Ye Feiyu said: "Mother, I am also his son. Even if the emperor has opinions about his maternal family, he will definitely treat me differently."
Lan Xianxian shook her head and said, "Fei Yu, you are still too young. In front of the throne, blood and flesh are nothing. Your mother said something disrespectful. If you rebel one day in the future, your father will not let you go just because you are his son. You will be the first one to be killed."
Ye Feiyu hurriedly said: "Mother, how could you say such a thing? If others heard it and it reached the ears of the emperor, he would definitely be more cautious towards me in the future..."
Lan Xianxian, however, didn't care at all and said, "Don't you know how capable your mother is? In my Fengyi Palace, everyone is my own people, inside and out. Your father only has that bitch Su Qingrou in his heart. The reason why your mother is so forbearing is all because of you! I can only count on you. What I'm most worried about now is that evil child Jingchen."
Ye Feiyu said, "Him? I admit that his kung fu is good, but from what I've observed recently, he's been relying on the emperor's favor and has become arrogant and conceited. He's never helped the emperor share his responsibilities and probably knows nothing about state affairs. Even ugly people know how to stick close to the emperor to curry his favor. I wonder if he can still be so arrogant after he has used up the emperor's favor!"
Lan Xianxian said: "Fei Yu, don't underestimate the enemy. Don't forget that your father is the most filial. The Queen Mother treats that evil child as the apple of her eye. And that ugly bastard seems to have a good relationship with that evil child. Do you think there is something hidden? That ugly bastard used to hide and never go out. Why has he become a different person recently..."
After hearing this, Ye Feiyu said, "Mother, after hearing what you said, I really feel that something is a little strange. The ugly guy used to hide when he saw people, but I often saw you sending some things to the ugly guy yesterday. Could this be what Grandmother meant?"
Lan Xianxian snorted coldly and said, "Don't underestimate your grandmother. She was able to sit on the position of Queen Mother safely, but it took a lot of tricks. But back then, my Lan and Su families didn't have a legitimate mother of the right age. Otherwise, the position of Queen Mother would not have been..."
"What if grandmother really asks father to make that evil son the crown prince?" Ye Feiyu asked.
"Don't worry for now. Your father won't appoint a crown prince so quickly. It will not be good for the court." Lan Xianxian said.
"Mother, what do you mean by this?" Ye Feiyu asked.
"If it is established too early, there will be officials in the court who will curry favor with him. If this goes on for a long time, it will definitely cause chaos in the court and form a bad trend. Your father understands this very well!" Lan Xianxian said.
Ye Feiyu suddenly realized.
"But even if your father dotes on that evil son, he still has to consider the influence of your grandfather. Our Lan family has a history of two or three hundred years since its founding. Our strength is so great that even your father has to be wary of him." Lan Xianxian said.
"My father is really something. If I could sit on that seat, I would not have to continue to use the surname Ye in the royal family, and my grandfather would definitely do his best to assist me, so there wouldn't be so much trouble!" Ye Feiyu complained.
"Fei Yu, how can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed? You are just relying on your grandfather's power now. Even if you can successfully sit in that position in the future, you can't become someone else's puppet. No one can do that. Do you understand?" Lan Xianxian stared at Ye Feiyu very seriously and said.
"Mother, I remember!"
"Well, starting from tomorrow, you have to train hard with your martial arts master, and you must not be worse than that evil boy!" Lan Xianxian said.
Hearing this, Ye Feiyu remembered the last time Jing Chen hit him with a palm strike, and he gnashed his teeth with hatred. He said in a low voice: "I understand, mother. I will definitely practice hard in the future. I was careless before. I didn't expect that evil boy to hide so deeply."
Lan Xianxian said, "Now that you've figured out his background, you should have a clear idea of what's going on, right?"
"I know. By the way, Mother, when I was in the Imperial Study just now, Father asked me to tell you that the wicked boy is still young, so there's no rush to appoint him a concubine."
After hearing this, Lan Xianxian had a hint of disappointment on her face, but she quickly concealed it and murmured, "Isn't he willing to come and tell me in person?"
When Ye Feiyu heard his mother mumbling to herself, he didn't know what to say for a moment. He had witnessed the relationship between his mother and his father over the years.
"In that case, I'll worry less. Although I can't stand seeing him do well, but since so many people are watching the selection of a concubine, I have to find one with a similar status and family background! Wouldn't that be a waste of finding an assistant for him? I'm actually happy with this outcome now!" Lan Xianxian chuckled.
Ye Feiyu also sneered and said, "I really hope he finds a woman with no status or background as his concubine!"
