The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

Zhou Ruo glanced at Cui Ping and smiled: "How can people live in this world without being realistic? How can we live without being realistic?"

"It's not their fault that they are fence-sitters. After all, they have been in the palace for such a long time, and some of them have never even seen His Majesty. It's normal for them to be anxious. I'm useless and can't help them, so it's understandable that they would look for someone else to rely on."

Cuiping's lips moved, and she couldn't help but whispered, "It's because of the concubine's exclusive favor that the current situation has been caused. Throughout history, has there ever been a concubine who has monopolized the emperor's favor? She is the first one."

The smile on Zhou Ruo's face faded a little.

If it were usual, she would definitely scold Cuiping, but today, for some reason, she didn't say a word.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Cuiping became a little bolder: "Although the Concubine Chen is somewhat pretty, there are many prettier ones in the harem. What makes her so presumptuous? Hasn't she thought that the emperor's favor for her is only temporary? When the novelty wears off and the emperor no longer favors her, how can she survive in the harem?"

"I heard that her health is also very poor. She has been favored for such a long time, but her belly is still motionless. I guess she can't get pregnant." Cui Ping said to Zhou Ruo with a sigh, "Thinking about it carefully, your Majesty doesn't have to bother with her. She is like a flower that will eventually wither. After losing favor, she has no children and is helpless. Your Majesty is different. You have the second prince, and now you are the imperial concubine, so you don't have to worry about the future."

Zhou Ruo spoke at this time, and said lightly: "She may not be without support."

Cuiping was stunned: "What?"

Zhou Ruo didn't say anything more.

The one who had the most support in the harem was Concubine Chen. Everyone thought, what if she had the favor of His Majesty? She had no children and no one to rely on when she was old. However, only Zhou Ruo knew that Concubine Chen had not only the favor of His Majesty, but also the most powerful way out.

The emperor's favor is certainly enviable, but the eldest prince's excellence is the most despairing.

In this palace, she seemed to be in great glory, being a noble concubine with children. But the one who was truly helpless was Zhou Ruocai.

Your Majesty has no feelings for her, and her maternal family has suffered many casualties due to offending Lin Jiuqing, and is no longer as strong as before. As for the child...not only does he have nothing to do with her, the child doesn't even have anything to do with Your Majesty, so how can he be relied upon?

Zhou Ruo raised his hand and rubbed his brow, then said to Cui Ping, "Put all these away, you don't need to buy them again in the future."

Cui Ping looked at the banquet outside and felt uncomfortable. While asking someone to clean up, she said viciously, "They left so cleanly this time. If they want to come back in the future, your Majesty, don't bother with them anymore."

"Your Highness, you have treated them to such a fine feast, do they deserve it? If you come again next time, I will only serve you the worst tea. If you like it, drink it. If you don't like it, get out of here."

Zhou Ruo listened to Cuiping's mumbling, the corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing a little smile.

Sometimes, listening to Cuiping's chatter can be a very relaxing thing. After all, there are some things she cannot say, but Cuiping can say them without any scruples.

This is also the reason why she kept Cuiping by her side.

Cuiping was just asking people to clear the table when the eunuch outside suddenly walked in quickly and said nervously, "Madam, Lord Zhou is here."
