Chapter 180 Lan Yan is unhappy
In the next few days, Mo Yunzhu could hear various news coming in at home. More than a dozen people on the list had been eliminated or turned against. This speed was already very impressive.
Jun Huolan was finally able to smile in front of others. Now, except for a lame leg, his body was basically fully recovered.
However, in order to hide his strength, he still did not go out, and he looked weak when meeting people, but everyone also knew that Prince Lan's health had improved a lot.
The emperor also issued an imperial decree, in order to compensate Jun Huo Lan, allowing him to take the position of Langzhong in the Ministry of Personnel, that is, assisting the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Originally, royal family members were not allowed to hold positions in the six ministries, but the emperor set a precedent for Jun Huolan. After all, a disabled son could not take his position no matter how hard he tried.
So after it was proposed in the court, no one objected, because Jun Huolan, who had been a hostage for ten years, really deserved to be treated well.
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was Lan Yintao's father. After Mo Yunzhu, Gu Qinxin, Lan Yan, and Xu Changyong went out to drink tea together, Prince Lan was taken care of when he went to the Ministry of Personnel.
Coincidentally, Xu Changyong's grandfather was the Minister of Personnel, and his father-in-law was the Vice Minister of Personnel. Both of them only had sympathy for Prince Lan, but were very polite in their friendship with Mo Yunzhu.
One is because Mo Yunzhu is Mo Tiancheng's daughter, the second is because of the emperor's dirty thoughts, and the third is because of the friendships of the young people in the mansion.
As soon as Jun Huolan arrived at the Ministry of Personnel, it happened that many positions had become vacant recently, waiting to be filled, and Jun Huolan could also recommend people. Of course, he was not obvious, and those people were all nominated by Mo Tiancheng and Prince Deqing's secret friends.
The reviewers are all good people, so in a subtle way, most of the people on the list were replaced by their own people.
In March of the spring, Lan Yan and Gu Qinxin got married.
The emperor gave Lan Yan a big gift, which made both the Lan family and the Gu family very proud. The previous rumors that the Xu family finally looked down on Gu Qinxin were also dispelled.
But Lan Yan was not happy because he found that the emperor seemed to treat him as someone he could confide in and asked him to enter the palace every one or two days.
Even if he didn't see a doctor, he would still chat with the old emperor.
The old emperor's condition naturally had to improve, because if it didn't get any better, he would start to doubt Lan Yan's medical skills.
After Lan Yan got married, he naturally didn't want to go to the palace every day, so he told his master Mo Yunzhu about it in distress.
Mo Yunzhu told him not to worry, and after thinking for a moment, she found an afternoon to go to the Prince's Mansion.
Crown Prince Jun Xianhe has been very well behaved in the past few months and dared not go out of the Crown Prince's Mansion. After all, his mother was deposed and the Zhao family was suppressed. If he makes a fuss, he will be the deposed crown prince.
Not only could he not jump around, he also had to sever some ties with his mother and his maternal family. Of course, this was only on the surface, as the Zhao family's hidden financial power continued to support him and the third prince.
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince are both nephews of the Zhao family, so if one fails, the other will be replaced. Of course, the Third Prince is a bit dull, so they still hope that the Crown Prince can make a comeback.
If he wants to make a comeback, he can't be out and about at this time. He is also cultivating his body and mind every day.
However, he went out of the palace several times in private and had close contact with Dai Yaohe, because the prince knew that he must marry the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.
In this way, the Minister of Revenue would speak well of him in the court.
Mo Huaiqing didn't know about this matter at first, until the most recent time when she saw the prince sneaking out. She thought it was strange and bribed the little servant who served the prince.
The servant received a certain amount of silver before telling Mo Huaiqing that the prince had gone to see Miss Dai, who would be the future crown princess.
This made Mo Huaiqing so angry that she almost vomited blood. She had been having a hot relationship with the prince during this period, and she was finally promoted from a concubine to a concubine by the prince.
Although she is one of the two concubines, it is also a great improvement.
She wants to take the position of queen step by step.
She didn't have her period last month and felt that she might be pregnant.
She thought that if her mother could rely on her son's status, she might be able to be promoted to the Crown Princess. After all, she was the second daughter of a great general's mansion. Now that her mother had been deposed and the Zhao family was suppressed, she was qualified to be the Crown Princess.
Who would have thought that the prince would secretly go out and hook up with Dai Yaohe.
Given Dai Yaohe's love for the prince, the position of Crown Princess will never be hers, Mo Huaiqing.
This made Mo Huaiqing so angry that her face was distorted. It was not until she heard from outside that her sister Mo Yunzhu came to see her that she came to her senses.
Mo Huaiqing used to dislike her sister Mo Yunzhu, but now she was worried that no one would discuss things with her, so she immediately asked Hongdou to call Mo Yunzhu in.
In the compartment, Mo Yunzhu raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw Mo Huaiqing.
"Second sister, you look in good spirits. I heard from Hongdou that you have become a concubine now? Congratulations, second sister." Mo Yunzhu said with a smile.
"Sister, don't laugh at me. I'm already suffering enough here." Mo Huaiqing looked aggrieved.
"Is the prince not nice to you? Have you gained some weight?" Mo Yunzhu felt that Mo Huaiqing had become a little rounder.
Mo Huaiqing looked outside and said, "Sister, I, I might be pregnant, but I haven't seen a doctor yet."
"Let me take your pulse." Mo Yunzhu said.
"Big sister, can you take my pulse?"
"I've learned a lot from others recently, let me give it a try."
Soon, Mo Yunzhu nodded and said, "You are indeed pregnant."
Mo Huaiqing's eyes lit up, but immediately dimmed again.
"Sister, I know I was wrong in the past, but now that things have come to this, I want to live a better life and not let my parents worry."
Mo Huaiqing looked pitiful.
Mo Yunzhu raised her eyebrows, and Mo Huaiqing continued, "Sister, I thought before that if I got pregnant, I could force the prince to make me the crown princess."
Mo Yunzhu was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "It's not like the prince doesn't have children, so he must have had several illegitimate children."
"Yes, but those women don't have my status. I am a legitimate daughter, and if it weren't for what happened before, I could have been the principal wife." Mo Huaiqing said aggrievedly.
Mo Yunzhu sneered in her heart. How could she be rewarded for her evil heart? She even felt wronged. If it weren't for her mother, would she be able to live a good life now?
"Then you can force the prince to see if you can become the crown princess." Mo Yunzhu shrugged.
"Big sister, now it's not a question of whether I force you or not. I heard that the prince and Dai Yaohe were meeting secretly. The prince must want to marry Dai Yaohe. What should I do?"
"The prince is having a secret meeting with Dai Yaohe?" Mo Yunzhu raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah, it's happened several times already. He went out again today. He must have gone to see that jerk." Mo Huaiqing looked jealous. "Maybe they've been fooling around together in private for a long time."
