In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

In the main courtyard of the Ulanala Mansion, Jueluo had been bedridden for the past three years and was rarely awake. Today, she was in good condition. Jueluo leaned against the bed and talked to Nanny Sozhuo Lun.

The conversation happened to mention this year's talent show. Rouze is 17 years old and Yixiu is less than 16 years old, both of which are old enough to participate in the talent show.

"Mammy, please help me find Rouze!" In her heart, Jueluo still wanted to exempt Rouze from the selection. After all, as a princess of the royal family, Jueluo had high standards and only cared about the identity of the crown prince.

Not long after, Rouze came, and the mother and daughter sat by the bed and talked.

"Rou Ze, my dear daughter, the number of concubines and concubines for the Crown Prince is full. I will find a way to exempt you from the selection this time. I will find an opportunity to ask the Crown Prince to meet you later."

"When you have the favor of the Crown Prince, perhaps you can ask the Emperor to appoint you to the Eastern Palace."

"My daughter is so beautiful and talented, she will definitely be favored by the crown prince. When the crown prince ascends the throne, she will be a concubine, a noble concubine, maybe even a royal concubine or queen."

The more Jueluo spoke, the more excited she became. She was already imagining in her mind what Rouze would look like as an imperial concubine.

Originally, Rouze had no opinion of her own and had always been obedient to Jueluo's arrangements. However, in recent years, Jueluo has been bedridden and the time she has spent with Rouze has decreased. In addition, with the persuasion of her wet nurse and personal maid, Rouze has had other ideas.

She listened to her mother's idea, but she didn't really believe that she could succeed. After all, she had Yixiu by her side, who was even more beautiful than her.

Seeing that if she didn't speak up, the Jueluo family would really arrange for someone to exempt her from the election, Rouze quickly spoke up.

"Mother, I, I don't want to be exempted from the election."

"Why? If you can't avoid choosing, the emperor will definitely give my son to someone else with his appearance. How can you be the imperial concubine then?" Jueluo was very excited when she heard Rouze's rebuttal. She couldn't help coughing as she spoke.

"Mother, don't be angry, just listen to me." Rouze helped Jueluo to relieve her discomfort, but still insisted on her own ideas. She thought of the analysis of the wet nurse and Fangruo and others, integrated them and spoke.

"The current prince is in good spirits and still has many years to live. The prince has no mother and no help in the harem. It may not be obvious now, but think about it, the current princes are already ranked more than ten, and many of them have powerful maternal families or their biological mothers are favored."

"If I choose the crown prince, not only will my status in the palace be low, but my future is uncertain."

"But it's different if we choose the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince's mother, Consort De, is a distant relative of the Ulanara clan. The Fourth Prince is her eldest son and currently he is the Crown Prince's right-hand man."

"Marrying the Fourth Prince will not only allow her to have closer ties with the Empress Defei in the palace, but she will also be able to become a prince's wife in the future. Normally, the status of a prince's wife is equivalent to that of a noble concubine."

"If the future crown prince is really abolished, the Fourth Prince, as the oldest son and the adopted son of Queen Tongjia, plus the support of the Ulanara Mansion, is not without a fighting chance."

Jueluo listened to Rouze's words, but she still looked down on the Fourth Prince's identity as a bald prince, and remained silent for a long time.

"Okay, mother will think about it carefully. You go back first." Jueluo felt a little tired and wanted to rest. Seeing this, Rouze did not stay any longer.

After Rouze left, Jueluo was still awake. She opened her eyes and asked Aunt Suozhuo Lun, who had been standing aside and listening to the whole thing.

"Mammy, what do you think of what Rouze said?"

"I think what Princess Rouze said makes sense." As a confidant of the Jueluo family, Nanny Sozhuo Lun certainly would not be afraid to speak the truth. She thought for a moment, organized her words and continued.

"The status of a crown prince is good, but it's too good. If you can't advance, you can only retreat. It's not stable enough."

"The Uya clan of Empress Defei is related to our Ulanara clan. In order to maintain the relationship between the two clans, this marriage is necessary."

"If Princess Rouze doesn't marry the Fourth Prince, then Princess Yixiu will be the one to marry the Fourth Prince."

"If Princess Yixiu becomes the prince's wife, it would still be incomplete if Princess Rouze could not become a noble concubine, not to mention..."

Jueluo understood the meaning of the nanny's words, not to mention whether Rouze could be favored and climb to a high position. After all, Ulanara's power was very important to the Fourth Prince and Concubine De, but it was nothing to the Hesheli and Guarjia clans behind the prince.

The family is of no use, and no matter how favored Rouze is, she can never become a royal concubine or a higher position.

Jueluo closed his eyes, thought for a while, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of cruelty.

"Mammy, since Rouze wants to marry the Fourth Prince, then that concubine Yixiu must be kicked out. We must not let her snatch the engagement away."

Nanny Sozhuo Lun nodded gently. Jueluo heaved a sigh of relief and gradually fell asleep.

At night, Yixiu received news from the main courtyard and learned that Rouze and Jueluo had decided to compete for the position of the Fourth Lady. She said nothing, but nodded to show that she understood.

007 was puzzled: "Host, if you do this, won't you help Rouze and Yinzhen? Then how will Yixiu's wish be fulfilled?"

007 really couldn't understand the operation of his own host. The time had come in the plot for Yixiu and Yinzhen to get engaged, but Yixiu had never met Yinzhen. Now it seemed that she was planning to let Rouze be the fourth wife.

"In the past three years, the host has done nothing but dating Nian Gengyao and making money. How can Yixiu's dream be fulfilled if this continues?"

"Oh, 007, don't worry anymore. Everything is as planned. Don't worry, don't worry." Yixiu was too lazy to explain. Anyway, 007 would understand it by then. Let it be for now.

According to the inertia of the plot, Rouze will be entangled with Yinzhen no matter what. Even if Yixiu falls in love with Yinzhen in advance according to 007's idea, it may not be possible to completely avoid the appearance of Rouze later.

After all, what Yinzhen wanted more at this time was the support of Ulanara clan, and although Yixiu, as a concubine's daughter, had greatly increased in value, she was not completely safe. According to Defei's character, Yixiu would definitely still be a concubine if she married Yinzhen, and Fei Yanggu would definitely not give up for the position of a concubine.

Then everything would be back to square one. At most, Yixiu would not fall out of favor, and might even be promoted to the position of the first wife, but Rouze would definitely enter the palace. Yinzhen would also favor Rouze for the sake of the Ulanara clan's power.

Although Yixiu can be said to have exchanged identities with Rouze, she felt sick at the thought of competing for Yinzhen's favor with Rouze in the same mansion. How could this be considered a perfect ending?

In the play, Rouze snatched the position of legitimate wife from Yixiu with a stunning dance by the Taiye Lake when Yixiu was pregnant and about to give birth. Not only did she favor her for three years, but she also immediately killed the life of Yixiu's son Honghui after she became pregnant.

Not to mention that Rouze was unaware of the situation, Yixiu didn't believe that the closed courtyard gate, the mansion that couldn't be left, the sick Honghui and the disappeared palace doctor had nothing to do with Rouze.

Including Yinzhen, who later asked Yixiu to take care of Rouze's belly, they were all perpetrators of Honghui!

Is it just a simple change of Rouze from the legitimate wife to the concubine considered revenge? In this case, Yinzhen was not retaliated at all. He still married both daughters of Ulanara into the mansion, and who was the legitimate wife and who was the concubine did not hinder him from gaining the power of Ulanara.

Yixiu is not such an easy person to talk to.
