Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"Your Majesty, the Emperor did not reveal anything about the harem to me.

But the emperor is a wise ruler, and your majesty has worked hard for many years, so the emperor will definitely not treat your majesty unfairly."

In fact, Cheng Wan sincerely felt that unless there was someone in the emperor's harem that the emperor particularly liked and he only wanted to make that person the queen, the position of queen would most likely belong to Concubine Liu.

According to Cheng Wan's observation, the current emperor is a very cold and rational person, and does not seem like someone who takes love between men and women seriously at all.

In addition, Cheng Wan speculated that Concubine Liu either had no son, or her son's age was very different from Mu Yao's.

Otherwise, the Emperor would not have allowed Concubine Liu to take charge of the inner palace over the years.

"I want to speak from the bottom of my heart to Marquis Zhaoping. I have been managing the palace for many years. I dare not ask the emperor to remember my contributions. I only hope that the emperor can remember my hard work and let me stay by his side. I will be satisfied."

As she spoke, Concubine Liu wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

What a moving and emotional performance.

It’s not half as good as those modern movie queens.

What can Cheng Wan do?

Cheng Wan could only use his best acting skills to cooperate with this person's performance.

"Your Highness is sincere to His Majesty. His Majesty must have trusted you and cherished you. Otherwise, why would His Majesty let you run the palace?"

Concubine Liu lowered her eyes, and a gloomy look flashed across her eyes.

That person let her run the palace because she was injured when she gave birth to a daughter and it was difficult for her to get pregnant again, not because he loved her and trusted her!

Fortunately, that man treats almost every woman the same, affectionate and ruthless.

Concubine Liu flicked her handkerchief and curled her red lips slightly.

If you can't win that person's affection, it's great to win power and status...

"My princess is the same age as Marquis Zhaoping, but I'm afraid Marquis Zhaoping has been very busy these days. Otherwise, I would like to let you get to know each other and let the princess learn a few skills from him."

The emperor has not issued an edict to confer titles on the concubines in the harem, so Concubine Liu does not dare to call herself "this palace", but as the emperor's daughter, she can be called "princess".

Cheng Wan lowered his head quickly, his voice full of fear: "Princess, you are so noble, please don't embarrass me, I am really ashamed."

"Marquis Zhaoping is too modest. Marquis Zhaoping has important matters to attend to. I will not waste your time."

Cheng Wan understood what was meant by this, that she could leave.

"I do have some errands to do. If Your Majesty has no other instructions, I will take my leave."

Cheng Wan was led away by a maid.

After Cheng Wan left, Concubine Liu no longer had a smile on her face.

"Throw that stool to me, my concubine!"

Leng He quickly waved to a maid, and the maid quickly moved away the stool where Cheng Wan had sat.

Leng He poured a cup of tea for Concubine Liu and handed it to her, saying in a gentle voice, "Since my master hates Marquis Zhaoping so much, why did you want to see her? You can't really want to ask her about the emperor's feelings."

"Humph! A lowly person born as a peasant girl has become a marquis and is so valued by the emperor. How can this concubine not see her with her own eyes!"

"Master, what do you mean? Are you worried about the Emperor's attitude towards her..."

Concubine Liu frowned: "You have also seen her face, it is not impossible. Besides, I have to admit that she is indeed quite clever."

"Master, if the emperor really had feelings for her, why would he have made her a marquis and directly taken her into the harem?

Besides, as I have reported to you, Marquis Zhaoping and Young Master Gu seem to be in love with each other.

The Emperor and Marquis Zhaoping, these two people are impossible no matter how you look at it."

"Even though the emperor has no feelings for her in that regard, he admires her very much.

Leng He, I hate all the women that the emperor likes. No, I despise them!"

Leng He looked at Concubine Liu's gloomy eyes and sighed helplessly.

The master has gone a little crazy.

......

"Master, as soon as you left, Concubine Liu had someone throw away the stool you sat on."

"Just throw it away."

"Master is not angry?"

"It's not my stool, why should I be angry?"

"But she appears to be quite kind to her master."

"I respect her on the surface."

Jinjin: “…”Okay.

"By the way, Jinjin, did you know a long time ago that Eunuch Miao came to Liangzhou with the imperial edict conferring my title of nobility?"

"Yes, but Jin Jin wants to give the master a surprise. Doesn't the master like it?"

Cheng Wan pursed her lips, then smiled brightly: "I like it!"

After leaving the palace, Cheng Wan strode towards where his carriage was. At this moment, a woman's voice came from behind him.

"Please stay, Marquis Zhaoping."

Ok?

Cheng Wan turned around, with a sincere smile on her face: "Aunt Dong Xian?"

Aunt Dong Xian is the Crown Prince's Consort's confidant. When Cheng Wan was recuperating in the small courtyard behind Wang's shop, the Crown Prince's Consort sent Aunt Dong Xian to visit her and gave her some precious medicinal herbs.

After Cheng Wan recovered from his injury, he went to the Prince's Mansion to express his gratitude to the Crown Prince's Consort.

Dong Xian knelt down and bowed to Cheng Wan, smiling warmly: "Marquis Zhaoping, the Crown Prince's Consort would like to invite you to her house for a chat."

"Then let's go quickly, don't keep the Crown Princess waiting for too long."

Cheng Wan quickly followed Aunt Dong Xian and left.

"Princess Princess, Marquis Zhaoping has arrived."

Following the same rules, Cheng Wan stood outside, waiting for the servants to report.

"Please invite Marquis Zhaoping in."

However, the master's voice is different. The Crown Prince's wife's voice is warm and steady. Just listening to the voice makes people feel that she should be a dignified and gentle woman.

that's the truth.

Cheng Wan had come into contact with the Crown Prince's Consort once, and at that time Cheng Wan felt that the so-called noble lady and mistress of the house suddenly seemed to have a very matching face.

Today, the Crown Prince's Consort was wearing a blue dress with intricate patterns embroidered on the collar, waist and cuffs with silver thread. She had a bun on her head with several elegant and exquisite pearl hairpins. Her overall outfit was simple yet not simplistic.

Still the same, beautiful, noble, dignified and grand.

Cheng Wan just wanted to say: "Your Highness is so lucky!"

"What did Marquis Zhaoping say?"

Cheng Wan was slightly stunned. Did she speak out what was in her heart?

Don't panic.

"I think it is a great blessing for His Royal Highness to have the Crown Princess accompany him."

The Crown Prince's Consort half covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled twice.

Just this one action made Cheng Wan confused.

They all cover their mouths with a handkerchief when they laugh, how come the Crown Prince's wife looks so elegant and beautiful when she does that?

Could it be that she subconsciously felt that the Crown Prince's Consort was one of her own, so she put a filter on her?

The Crown Princess blushed slightly at Cheng Wan's gaze. She pulled Cheng Wan's arm and asked him to sit down beside her. She said in a gentle voice, "I heard that you were invited to the palace, so I wanted to ask you to come. How was it, was everything going well at the palace just now?"
