Mingzhu looked at the people of the capital kneeling before her and tasted the power that comes with it for the first time.
It wasn't the privilege of being born a princess in the imperial harem, where palace maids, eunuchs, and guards had to pay their respects to her; it was different from that kind of power.
They, these people of Da'an, these soldiers of Da'an, were kneeling down to him willingly.
So this is the pleasure of those in positions of power.
I promised the Prince of Zhenbei that we had chosen the right path.
She glanced at her two imperial brothers who were greeting her and couldn't help but snort coldly.
Everyone says that the two princes of Da'an are quite different. One is noble and aloof, kind-hearted and courteous. The other is ruthless, domineering, and wicked.
In the future, no matter which of the two of them controls Da'an, they will definitely be superior to Dayan, and if they are lucky, they may be able to annex Dayan.
Showing off.
Princess Mingzhu thought to herself, "This time when I went to Great Yan, these two imperial brothers were alright compared to the princes of Great Yan, but compared to the Prince of Zhenbei, they were worlds apart."
She also looked incredibly noble, possessing both elegance and beauty.
Standing there, keeping everyone at arm's length.
But it was also different; the moment the prince opened his mouth, she felt an instant and natural closeness to him.
Mingzhu thought that if she could become a monarch in the future, she would definitely be like Huo Xiaolong.
It would be good to make the people less alienated from me; as for these two elder brothers, they are nothing special.
"Your Majesty, you must have had a long and arduous journey to Great Yan."
The aloof and polite Fifth Prince came over and put his arm around Mingzhu's as she got off the carriage, intending to help her down.
Mingzhu looked down on him even more; this shouldn't be the case.
Normally, this elder brother would never bother to talk to these women in the harem, so what's wrong with him today?
oh,
He was simply seeing Huang Ranhu's private soldiers kneeling before him, remembering the kindness of bringing their marshal's head home.
Want to be a pawn
The girl felt as if she had suddenly unlocked her potential. How was the struggle between men any different from the scheming and intrigue of the women in the harem?
You call it manly passion for power and influence.
Women who fight over men are considered petty and jealous.
With your limited intelligence and methods, it's hard to say how well you'll survive in the cutthroat world of the imperial harem.
You can't become a superior person by enduring hardship.
You need to know how to eat to succeed.
These were the words Huo Xiaolong said to her.
Princess Mingzhu suddenly remembered.
At that time, she asked Huo Xiaolong in return:
"Did the prince also rise to power by eating people?"
Huo Xiaolong chuckled and replied to her:
"Isn't that so? Grassland, Huang Ranhu, I have walked on their blood and flesh to get to where I am today. I hope Princess Mingzhu understands what you will be dealing with in the future."
"The power struggles are only slightly different from those in the inner quarters. Remember, if a concubine is favored, you can't kill her even if she makes a terrible mistake. But the court is different. In short, take advantage of her weakness and kill her."
Mingzhu placed Rouyi on the Fifth Prince's arm and whispered:
"Thank you very much, Fifth Brother."
"I've never seen Fifth Brother dote on Tenth Prince like this before. Has the sun risen in the west today?"
"No, I've never given my sister a hard time or scolded her until she cried."
"Seventh Brother".
Princess Mingzhu greeted each of them with a bow and offered her greetings.
Finally, he walked towards his father, the emperor who had loved him for over a decade.
With a smile on her face, amidst the clamor and respect of the surrounding people, the young girl bowed deeply to the Emperor of Da'an.
"Your subject greets Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live ten thousand years!"
"Today I have returned to Da'an and come here to ask my father to punish me. I am incompetent and unable to stay in Da Yan to help my father. I am willing to die to atone for my sins."
The man helped the girl up and said solemnly:
"Nonsense! My daughter has done her utmost for Da'an and brought back General Huang's head. No matter how great the crime, it doesn't matter. For this alone, you are Da'an's pearl princess, forever and ever."
"Guards! Grant Princess Mingzhu two fiefdoms, ten thousand taels of gold, and a thousand bolts of silk!"
This reward, witnessed by all the people present, served as a way for him to show the people of Da'an that their royal family had lived up to Huang Ranhu's expectations, and that his daughter, a princess, had never been bullied since childhood.
But for Da'an's sake, he returned with bruises all over his face.
This is all for the sake of Da'an.
Behind Emperor Da'an, there was a woman who was watching Mingzhu and covering her mouth as she cried.
She stood there, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Mother, I'm back."
This was the most beloved concubine of Emperor Da'an, the Imperial Concubine, and also the birth mother of Princess Mingzhu.
There is no empress in Da'an. Since the emperor's first wife died young, the harem is now managed by Princess Mingzhu's mother.
Well, you can imagine the status of this mother and daughter in the harem.
Consort Xu is another version of Xiao Lanhua. She is gentle and considerate, and studious, which makes the emperor love her dearly.
But in front of others, he can be as arrogant as can be, practically having the word "arrogant" etched on his face.
"My mother thought she would never see you again in this lifetime."
The rules are ingrained in her, and now she can't even hug her daughter; she can only hold her hand and cry.
Unexpectedly, Mingzhu snuggled directly into her birth mother's arms and said:
"No, I'm back now. What would happen if Mother couldn't win against others if I wasn't here?"
"Nonsense, your father is still by your side. He is a person who values etiquette the most."
"It's alright."
She is now a meritorious official of Da'an, so what if she doesn't pay attention to etiquette?
She observed that Huo Xiaolong sometimes spoke rudely to the Emperor of Great Yan, saying whatever came to mind.
Now that I have accomplished so much, my father won't say anything.
