Chapter 208: The aunt who no longer forces her eldest son to make progress

After hearing the news that the Queen had given her a decree to marry her, Ye Wanrou came to Zhou Mansion the next day.

"How can you let this concubine of your family have a relationship with King Huai?" She was very worried. If King Huai really ascended the throne in the future, this concubine who married in the past would be a danger, although this concubine may not be able to touch their county. The palace, but the emperor’s heart is unpredictable. What if this concubine really has that fate?
"Sister-in-law, do you really think that King Huai can inherit the throne?"

Ye Wanrou frowned: "For now, he does have the best hope. In the previous dynasty, there was the Prime Minister and the Marquis Cheng'en, and in the harem there was the Queen and the Concubine. The princes who were older than him either died or were rejected by His Majesty, and the princes who were younger than him , not as powerful as him."

"What if I say that the Queen and the Marquis of Chengen are not supporting him?"

"Do you know something?" Ye Wanrou asked carefully and nervously.

"Sister-in-law, we have all forgotten His Highness Prince Ding. Prince Ding is the empress's grandson. How can a nephew have a grandson?"

"But Prince Ding is young and has not been in the capital for a long time. There is no precedent in this dynasty for letting the emperor's grandson inherit the throne over the prince."

"Just because there is no precedent doesn't mean it won't happen. Everyone thinks that King Huai will be the one who will eventually inherit the throne. But why has His Majesty never had any intention of establishing a crown prince for so many years?"

"You mean, the Queen is blocking it?"

"The eldest prince sacrificed his life for the sake of your majesty, and he was your majesty's first son. His status in your majesty's heart is different from that of other princes. This is why the queen has been able to sit on the throne for so many years. .”

"But if Your Majesty wants King Ding to succeed to the throne, why don't you establish a legitimate grandson?"

"Because His Majesty is not sure."

Ye Wanrou still frowned: "This is just your guess after all, not to mention that even if the Empress prefers Prince Ding, at present, Prince Huai has a greater chance of winning."

"But he is sure that the Empress and the Marquis Cheng'en are on his side, so the outcome is not certain. How can an enemy on the surface be as threatening as an enemy in the dark? Especially if you think this enemy is your friend."

"What you said seems to make sense."

"Sister-in-law, my father and eldest brother are often in the court. Although they never participate in party disputes, I think they should be aware of it with their acumen."

"I'll go back and ask them." Ye Wanrou felt that she was overly worried. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that after hearing the news about the Queen's marriage decree yesterday, there was indeed nothing strange about her father and husband. At that time, she thought it was the two of them. He didn't take a concubine seriously.

Now that I think about it, how could my father not be able to fully understand the situation of the court when he has always been his most trusted person despite your majesty's suspicion?

Even if King Huai really takes that position, how can a concubine control the government?It was because she was too nervous, thinking only about the difficult grievances between her sister-in-law and her aunt and concubine.

After thinking about it, Ye Wanrou relaxed completely: "So you deliberately caused this situation to make them full of hope and then completely disappointed?"

"Yes."

"why?"

Song Xia's eyes were stern: "Because I suspect that they gave birth to Yuqing prematurely because she was drugged." "What?" Ye Wanrou was shocked, "How could this happen? And the imperial doctor didn't detect it at all."

"The world is so vast. There are some things that the imperial doctors have not seen with their own eyes, and it is difficult to judge. The previous personal and material evidences are gone, but recently they have begun to actively develop that kind of medicine. I will find out."

Ye Wanrou was still puzzled: "Even if you just have suspicions, you can deal with them directly, so why do you need evidence?"

"Obsess, I want to completely destroy their conspiracy, and I don't want this drug to harm others anymore."

Song Xia has been thinking that the Liu family got the medicine again in the previous life. At that time, they harmed the Yong'an Hou Crown Prince. Now that the person Zhou Ying is going to marry has become King Huai, who will they use this medicine to harm?

On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Ying got married. The 32-year-old dowry seemed quite large, but the aristocratic class in the capital was shabby, and there was not much in the box.

When a woman usually gets married, the dowry must be sent to the groom's house in advance to show off the dowry, but she is just a concubine and does not have such dignity, so she is carried behind with her.

Liu Fangniang's eyes turned red with sadness, while Song Xia was still making sarcastic remarks: "You should be satisfied, how can a concubine usually have a dowry? They all go directly to the house in a small sedan chair."

Liu Fangniang was so angry that even though there were only 32 bags, it could still be filled, but Song Xia was really just showing off, and even the silks, satins, and jewelry were of the most common style.

Moreover, she also found out that when other concubines and concubines entered the palace, in addition to the superficial dowry, the families inside had a lot of hidden gifts. The palace was also the steward of the princess, so except for her sister Ying, all the other masters were There is no shortage of money!
Liu Fangniang didn't know that Song Xia had deliberately let her know the information she had inquired about. Otherwise, where would she go to inquire about it now that the Zhou family was all members of Song Xia?How can anyone find out the secrets of Prince Huai's Mansion?
Liu Fangniang could only keep comforting herself. It didn't matter. His Highness Prince Huai had Sister Ying in his heart. After Sister Ying gets married, everything will be possible.

Little did she know that as soon as Zhou Ying entered the palace, the other concubines and concubines humiliated her.

Zhou Ying looks smart and has a lot of thoughts, but she has never experienced a real house fight. There are few people in the Zhou family. In the first ten years, she lived a pampered life. In the following years, although Song Xia tortured her, she couldn't stand it. At most, she just asked her grandma to teach her the rules and restrict her actions. She was straightforward and kept her eyes on the bright side.

But what about Prince Huai’s Mansion?These concubines and concubines came from different family backgrounds, with different experiences and methods. In this era of many children and grandchildren, there are few powerful and noble families like Zhou Mansion with a small number of people, and everyone is practicing and practicing. Like a human being, when he saw her dowry, he knew that no one could support her. It would be a shame if he didn't take action. She must be made aware of her role in Prince Huai's palace.

Therefore, it was supposed to be Zhou Ying's wedding night, but Prince Huai did not show up. At midnight, a steward came and told her not to wait any longer.

Zhou Ying's eyes turned red with anger and she was about to shed tears when the nun from Prince Huai's Mansion gave a serious lecture: "Concubine, please don't shed tears on your big day. Those who don't know may think that Prince Huai's Mansion has treated you badly. From now on, you will be a member of the palace, and everything must be done for the sake of the reputation of the palace."

Helpless, Zhou Ying could only endure it until the next day to greet the princess and listen to the ridicule of these people.

"Sister Zhou, I'm sorry. Brother Rui felt a little uncomfortable last night, so the prince went to my yard to stay overnight. Do you mind?"

"Sister, you are worrying too much. Why did you go out of your way to explain? After all, it is the prince's heirs that are important. Sister Zhou, don't you think so?"

Zhou Ying forced a smile: "That's what the sisters said."

"Okay." After they finished speaking, the princess spoke to end the situation. It seemed that she was resolving the situation for Zhou Ying, but in fact it confirmed Zhou Ying's status in the palace. (End of chapter)
