Concubine Duan waited around in Ganquan Palace until she was near her son's time, but she still didn't receive any news from the emperor.

They sent someone out to inquire about the news, but they learned that the emperor had returned to Yuqian Palace and did not send anyone to inform Chu Qinghuang that Chu Qinghuang had entered the palace. Concubine Duan was so angry that her face turned livid and she almost crushed the tea cup in her hand.

"Your Majesty." Aunt Yuan of Ganquan Palace stood aside and pinched her shoulders and neck carefully, "Your Majesty may have considered that it was too late, and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess might have gone to bed at this time, and planned to send the message again tomorrow morning. The princess has come to the palace for questioning. Don’t be anxious, it’s better to rest early.”

Concubine Duan rubbed her eyebrows: "I don't know what kind of evil I did in my previous life, but I gave birth to such a disobedient thing in this life."

"Your Majesty, calm down." Mother Yuan persuaded in a low voice, "It's not like you don't know that the eldest princess has such a temper and doesn't listen to anyone."

Concubine Duan was leaning on the couch and said in an indifferent tone: "I just want her to respect me and have a good relationship with the Ling family. Is this difficult for her? But look at her, it's hard for her to be a guest of the Ling family. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to treat her with a male favorite? People who don't know may think that I am a bad mother, but in fact, whoever wants to have such a daughter will be angry to death. !”

Aunt Yuan lowered her head in response and hesitated for a moment: "Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is indeed outrageous. None of the male favorites in her backyard have any rules. If they were placed in the palace, it would not be an exaggeration to kill them all."

Concubine Duan looked cold and hard, obviously in an extremely bad mood.

Aunt Yuan sighed: "But who asked the emperor to pamper the eldest princess? The empress should still coax her more now, at least until the fifth prince becomes the prince..."

"It's just for Tianzheng that I asked the Ling family to win over her, but look at her..." Concubine Duan gritted her teeth, "Sooner or later, I will be pissed to death by her."

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with this." Aunt Yuan said in a low voice, "Don't you, the Emperor, dislike the most cliques between princes and ministers for personal gain? There is a rift between the Ling family and the eldest princess. At least in the eyes of the Emperor, the Ling family does not I want to win over the eldest princess, so that I won’t arouse the emperor’s fear.”

After a pause, "But in the final analysis, the eldest princess is still the closest to you, Concubine Duan. In the end, she can't leave her brother, His Highness the Fifth, and not help, and instead help others. Don't you agree, Concubine Duan?"

After hearing her analysis, Concubine Duan felt that it made sense and nodded slowly: "What you said makes sense."

The Feng clan has been deposed, and Qinghuang has completely turned against them. Feng Jinzhi has been punished one after another because of Qinghuang. Now he has become an abandoned husband, and there is no possibility of a comeback.

Concubine Duan's biggest rival now is the queen and her son. Qinghuang is now gaining the emperor's trust. The Ling family can neither get too close to her nor really alienate her, otherwise they will really push her towards the queen. .

"Old slave, please say something to make your Majesty happy." Aunt Yuan smiled, "Actually, Your Majesty, you don't need to pay attention to what Her Highness the Princess has done. She is your daughter anyway, and the Emperor knows in his heart that the Princess fell from you. "Isn't it because of you as a mother that she has made great achievements?"

When Concubine Duan heard this, her expression changed slightly: "But in this way, if I complain in front of the emperor, will it make the emperor worry?"

"Probably not." Aunt Yuan said, "The eldest princess did go too far. As a mother, the empress cannot discipline her daughter. Isn't it reasonable to tell the emperor and let the emperor discipline her?"

Although she felt that complaining to the emperor was not a wise move, the thing had been done and there was no point in regretting it now. It was better to think about the good things.

Concubine Duan looked slightly calm and nodded slowly.

She was confused by what her two sisters-in-law said today. She didn't know what the real situation was. The two sisters-in-law would definitely find words that would benefit her when they complained. She stayed in the palace and didn't see it with her own eyes, so she was naturally a little passive. .

If the final truth is not different from what they said, it will probably end badly.

"I just hope that what the two sisters-in-law said is true." Concubine Duan stood up, and began to undress while being served by the palace servants. She turned tiredly and walked to the bed, "In this way, the emperor will be considerate of me and my wife." The Ling family has been wronged and will not side with Qinghuang."
