Chapter 293 Support
She was also being urged by her family.
She needed a child, but since the Emperor was not coming, she could not have the child. When the Empress was about to abdicate to Concubine Li and keep her child, she had never thought of keeping her child. But now that the Emperor had issued an edict, she could see that she had fallen out of favor and could not have anyone's child in the future.
If this is the case, it would be better to find someone who can give birth to support you. Make friends with her now so that her family can get some benefits. If the two of you stand on the same side, you may be able to help each other in the future.
Concubine Yi is now considered the only person in the palace who is worthy of the emperor's attention.
Even though the Qin family is not as prosperous as it used to be, it is still a deeply rooted family. The Qin family wants to support a prince. Chu Linglong's mother's family is a military general, so their power in Beijing is naturally not as strong as the Qin family. It is better to have a good relationship with them than to have nothing. As for whether she can have children in the future, that will be discussed later.
Wan Zhao sighed in his heart as he listened.
Your Majesty has already made plans not to have children in the future. Since ancient times, the competition for favor in the harem has not only been about the emperor's favor, but also about whose belly the future prince will be born from.
If the Second Prince were still alive, the Qin family would naturally support him. But now that the Second Prince is gone and Concubine Qin has fallen out of favor, it will be difficult to have a child, so they have to support a prince in the future. It's still early now and the Emperor is still young. What about three or five years later? When the Emperor is thirty-five, there will always be some things that have to be put on the agenda.
By then, will the position of a crown prince cause bloodshed in the harem?
But now think about it carefully.
There are three princes in the palace right now, the eldest prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince. The fourth prince is raised by the queen, so there is no need to think about it. The third prince is raised by Concubine De. Concubine De's family background is there, so she doesn't need the Qin family's help. Moreover, Concubine De's family doesn't get along well with the Qin family. As for the eldest prince...
"In fact, if your majesty is really interested, the eldest prince is also a good choice."
Qinpin shook her head and said, "The eldest prince is not good enough. Concubine Shun doesn't know how to teach children. The eldest prince asked her to teach him, but he is as timid and cowardly as she is. Do you think the emperor likes the eldest prince very much? Just based on this, I don't think the emperor can make the eldest prince the crown prince."
Speaking of children, Qinpin still sneered: "The Queen has been looking for someone to teach the Fourth Prince every day, but there is no sign of intelligence on the Fourth Prince's face. He looks stupid."
The eldest prince and the fourth prince don't look like they will be the crown prince. As for the third prince, he is a threat instead. Defei is a person who knows how to teach children. She has seen the third prince several times and he seems to be taught very well. It reminds her of her second prince. If the second prince were still alive, would she need to keep an eye on others now?
Concubine Qin exhaled the sun's breath: "Noble Lady Yi, it's quite good."
"Then this noble lady Yi doesn't even have a child now..."
"She told the emperor to remember that if he is favored, he will have children." Qinpin felt uncomfortable when she said this.
But in fact, after she fell out of favor, she had thought about it many times. Now her family is plotting to make him the crown prince. But who can say anything about the crown prince if the child was not born with her support?
Not to mention that the Queen is now raising the Fourth Prince with the intention of helping him, and he may not ascend to the throne in the future, what can we say about the Third Prince of Concubine De? The Emperor is still young. To put it bluntly, even if a Crown Prince is appointed, who can guarantee that the one who will ascend the throne in the end is the Crown Prince? The Emperor is not the Crown Prince, but he still sits on the throne?
But the struggles in the harem are the same as the party struggles in the previous dynasty. There is no harm in winning over a noble lady like Yi now.
"In the next two days, find out when Concubine Yi goes out. I will meet her then."
Chu Linglong is still the same as before after the palace banquet. It’s not the first time that Concubine Ru has been rude to her when they meet. She has never been comfortable staying in her own palace. She really wants to move to another palace, but if she wants to move, she has to find someone to help her, right?
She couldn't move to another palace by herself, and if she did, she would have to go to the Empress or Concubine De to explain the reason. And if she really went to the Empress or Concubine De to tell them how Concubine Ru bullied her and asked to move to another palace, Concubine Ru would probably treat her with more than just sarcasm and ridicule in the future.
Leaving aside the matter of grace, this matter also left her with a thorn in her side.
She didn't like to walk far now, so she just walked around nearby, but she didn't expect to meet Concubine Qin.
Concubine Qin was a concubine. Even if she was demoted, she was still the head of the palace. Now she had to bow when she saw her: "Greetings to Concubine Qin."
Concubine Qin looked at Chu Linglong and smiled: "No need, it's just a coincidence. I'm going to see the third princess right now. I'm grateful to you for saving the third princess. It's fate that we meet now. Lady Yi, do you want to go with me to see Min Ning?"
At the moment, the third princess is still being nannyed. When she is not in Zhongyu Palace, Concubine Qin is worried and always has to go and see her.
But Chu Linglong is not stupid. This road takes several detours to the place where the third princess usually teaches.
She was confused in her heart. Although she and Concubine Qin became friends because of the Third Princess, Concubine Qin had never been on good terms with any palace concubine. She and Concubine Qin had no interactions except in the beginning. She didn't do anything to Concubine Qin, but she couldn't be considered a close friend. Now suddenly she was asked to go and see the Third Princess... Of course she had to go.
After all, she is the mistress of a palace.
The two of them walked together, saying they were going to the third princess, and they really went to see the third princess.
Concubine Qin had ordered Xuanyuan Ling not to interfere with the nanny's education, so she was actually just taking a look outside. The third princess looked two points taller than when Chu Linglong left the palace, and now she looked quite well-mannered.
Chu Linglong thought that the Third Princess looked like a real princess despite her young age, and couldn't help but praise her: "Your Majesty has raised the Third Princess very well."
Qinpin curled her lips after hearing this: "You should have given birth to a child sooner. In the harem, you need a child to rely on in the future. Now you have recovered, right?"
Chu Linglong asked Qinpin to lower her head and said, "I am unlucky."
Concubine Qin looked at Chu Linglong and said, "It was an accident at first. I later found out that Concubine Wang was after Concubine Xi. Concubine Xi, should I say she is lucky or something? She is so favored even though she is not very prominent in the harem."
Wan Zhao was startled when she heard her say this. How could this be mentioned by Concubine Xi? If Her Majesty wanted to win over Concubine Yi, would it mean that Concubine Yi and Concubine Xi would be irreconcilable?
Just as she was thinking about it, Concubine Qin sneered, "It's strange, this kind of unexpected thing will never happen to her. Even if it happens, she can turn the danger into safety. At that time, the Japanese palace thought that she was from a humble family and had never seen fireworks, so she was scared like that. But she sprained her ankle and just avoided Concubine Wang, but hurt you. I don't know if she is really timid. I heard that she dared to cut her own throat when she was assassinated. How brave she is. Now that I think about it, her appearance of being scared like this by fireworks is really fake."
Of course, Concubine Qin didn't know whether Shen Qing's sprained ankle was an accident or not. She really didn't think that Shen Qing was so powerful that he could predict the future, but that didn't stop her from thinking and saying so.
