"Meixiang, you saw the five women today. They are all beautiful and graceful. Your Highness has always been prejudiced against women from the capital, so he has always been defensive against them."
Ling Yue spoke slowly, with a hint of bitterness in her voice.
"But now that Su Jingyao has broken that line of defense, it will surely be even easier for the women behind her to break it, and His Highness's heart will be shared with more and more people. I know that as the Crown Princess, I shouldn't be jealous, but I can't help it."
Ling Yue lowered her head slightly, clenched her hands tightly together, and her knuckles turned a little white from the force.
"Last night, I invited Your Highness to Qiluan Palace, but Your Highness declined, citing his busy schedule. Instead, he went to Xiyan Palace without giving me any explanation. In the past, Your Highness would always send someone to explain everything to me, just to avoid upsetting me."
Ling Yue raised her head, a trace of pain flashing in her eyes.
"But what about now?" Her voice trembled slightly.
"Su Jingyao alone has already taken away most of His Highness's affection, and now there are five more."
Ling Yue's voice was full of resentment and unwillingness.
"Master, you must not continue to indulge in the love affair with His Highness. His Highness needs to give birth to an heir. In a few days, the Queen's newly selected beauties will enter the East Palace, and Your Highness will definitely favor them." Meixiang said anxiously.
"You must not show any dissatisfaction, and don't make things difficult for them. The Queen Mother doesn't like you. You must not let the Queen Mother find any problems before you become the next Queen." Meixiang's eyes were full of worry.
"Besides, how can the newly arrived concubines have the ability to influence you, my master? You might as well sit back and watch the tigers fight and let them compete for favor. Competing for favor is naturally the business of the concubines. You are the master of the East Palace, so there is no need to worry too much."
Meixiang's words were like enlightenment, causing Ling Yue to fall into deep thought.
As Ling Yue listened to Meixiang's words, a glimmer of light gradually appeared in her eyes. She nodded slightly, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
Meixiang was right. His Highness always needed an heir. Since it wasn't her, it didn't matter which other woman it was. She would just let them fight.
Isn't Su Jingyao kind and innocent? Isn't she a person who doesn't fight with others? If more women come to the East Palace to compete with her for His Highness, can Su Jingyao still remain as innocent and harmless as always?
Ling Yue couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
