Chapter 512 Who plots against whom She
should also thank those idiots for helping her, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not have had mercy on her.
She has been in the palace for a long time and has never forgotten her hatred.
So she has been studying the character of the Crown Prince and finally decided on this plan to get close to the Crown Prince.
The current Emperor and the Empress have been in love for ten years, and the Crown Prince has been raised by the Emperor since he was a child.
If someone asks which child the Emperor loves the most, the civil and military officials in the court will probably point to the Crown Prince without hesitation.
He was born with honey in his mouth and has been raised in a honey pot.
So he can't stand the injustice and suffering in the world. He hates evil and is a very upright person.
But Yan Jinhua couldn't be like other women who were eager for the status of the crown prince and act too attentive, otherwise she would be special.
A prince like him must have never been treated coldly by a woman, right?
Then she would be the first.
Just hold on for one more night... Just hold on for one more night, and she could be in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness..."
Xiao Yuezi thought again and again, but still couldn't help asking: "Do you really like that little palace maid just now? Don't blame me for being nosy. They are not a good match. Even if they are together in the future, they will probably only quarrel endlessly. Just listen to the Queen Mother. The one she chooses for you must be the most suitable to be the Crown Princess."
Moreover, the Queen Mother is insightful and must know what kind of girl her son likes, and she will definitely take the trouble to pay attention.
But if it was the little palace maid just now, to be honest, Xiao Yuezi felt that she was not a good match for his Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The smile on Shen Mingye's face had faded, he took out a snow-white handkerchief and wiped his big bony hands.
The used handkerchief was thrown on Xiao Yuezi's chattering like chanting a sutra: "In your heart, this prince is a man who is blinded by lust?"
Yan Jinhua, the legitimate daughter of the Yan family who was implicated in the corruption case of the prefect of Zhenzhou fourteen years ago, Shen Mingye wanted to see how she would clear the injustice for her family?
It just so happened that if he could get rid of a few real corrupt officials, it would be a profit for him.
Think he is a naive person?
It's hard to say who is scheming against whom!
Xiao Yuezi felt that what His Royal Highness said was right. His little prince was too smart to be confused because of a little palace maid.
There are many beauties, and she is not special. Why should he conflict with the Queen Mother over this?
However, His Royal Highness seemed to be somewhat interested in the little palace maid.
Just as he was thinking, the Queen Mother had already waved in this direction, and the Emperor was no longer beside her.
The only men present were the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Seventh Prince.
The rest of the male guests followed the Emperor's carriage to other places.
Young girls lined up in rows and saluted Jiang Xinyue in unison: "Greetings to the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be blessed with good health."
"No need to be polite
, just stand up." The huge group of people stood up again. At this time, Shen Mingye's arrival attracted everyone's attention.
Jiang Xinyue smiled and said to the group of women who were gathered around her: "Everyone is here, so I won't beat around the bush. This year's spring banquet is actually to select concubines for the crown prince and several princes. Before you came, you all knew my purpose. In this case, let's start."
All the noble ladies standing here intended to become princes' consorts, and no matter which prince they were assigned to, they had no objection.
Of course, Jiang Xinyue already knew all this in her mind. She knew very well which girl was coming for which prince.
She had investigated the personalities of the princes and the types of girls they liked or were suitable for.
She couldn't do such a thing in this era where getting married was like a second rebirth.
The little prince, who was taller than her, had walked to her side. Jiang Xinyue took his hand, handed him a jade ruyi, and signaled with her eyes: "Go!"
Jiang Xinyue wanted her son to cultivate feelings with the noble ladies of the Great Yan Dynasty, so after the prince was ten years old, she often invited noble ladies from aristocratic families to the palace under various pretexts.
On the surface, he was here to accompany her or the third princess to relax, but in reality, he called out the crown prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince to accompany them.
In secret, he was creating opportunities for them to get to know each other and build relationships!
Meng Yixuan fiddled with the strings of her clothes, lowered her head, and did not dare to look at Shen Mingye's steps.
She had been following her mother in and out of the palace since she was a child, and the place she went to the most was Kunning Palace. Yan Qingqing
came often, but she was a person who could not sit still. Every time she returned to Kunning Palace, she would drag the third princess out to play after less than three words.
So she did not spend much time with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
On the contrary, her mother was once the personal maid of the Queen Mother of Heaven. Although she later became the Queen Mother of Heaven's adopted sister and married her father as a daughter of the Jiang family, her mother always reminded her to abide by the rules in the palace and not to run around and cause trouble for the Queen Mother of Heaven.
So every time Yan Qingqing and the third princess asked her to go out to play, she would not go. She would stay by the Queen Mother of Heaven and listen to their family talk.
In order to avoid the noble ladies arranged by the Queen Mother of Heaven, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often stayed with her. Over time, she fell in love with His
Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Moreover, she believed that it would be difficult for anyone in the world to refuse a man as handsome and kind-hearted as the Crown Prince.
Except for Yan Qingqing, she was like a young man who had not yet opened his mind.
Fortunately, Yan Qingqing didn't wake up, otherwise her mother would never let her attend the spring banquet today.
If we really talk about childhood sweethearts, she grew up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
She didn't dare to look up at the Crown Prince, for fear of seeing a look of surprise on his face.
Meng Yixuan didn't know whether she should be here.
But for her own happiness, she still wanted to fight for it.
My father said that although Dayan has unified the world, the hegemony of the princes has become a remaining problem, and each state still needs military generals to garrison.
The general of the cavalry became the commander-in-chief of the world's army and was in charge of the world's army. The Meng family was not bad either. In more than ten years, they had suppressed more than three rebellions of the princes.
Now, her father, Meng Qingyu, is also a first-rank general of the Flying Dragon.
She wanted to be the Crown Princess, and it wasn't a crazy dream.
But she never revealed her feelings to the Crown Prince, for she was afraid that His Royal Highness would not be able to accept it.
In terms of appearance, she was not the most beautiful among all the noble ladies. She had big eyes, a high nose, a small mouth, fair skin and long black hair.
She didn't look like her father or her mother. She was cute in her heroic spirit. She was not a beauty that could captivate the whole country at first glance, but she became more and more beautiful the more you looked at her.
"Why don't you dare look up at me?"
The boy's tone was soft, and a sincere smile was revealed in his eyes that were always hard to see through.
