767. Chapter 767 Make Things Difficult
Standing at the front of the main hall are Old Princess An and others. They have long heard how Lu Yaoyao is so powerful, otherwise they would not be so obsessed with the emperor. Today they finally have the opportunity to meet each other. Stunning, and very similar to the previous Princess Qin.
"All of you." Ye Zhen said with a smile, looked around everyone, and told them to sit down and talk.
Princess An raised her head and looked at Ye Zhen. Unexpectedly, she had said so much to the queen mother before, and still let Lu Yaoyao be the queen. She thought she could send her niece from her natal family to the palace, "I finally saw the emperor's big wedding I hope that the empress will give birth to a little prince for the emperor as soon as possible."
Ye Zhen looked at her. This is an elder in the clan. She had heard about this old concubine. She heard that she was notoriously tricky and difficult to get along with. She had never even entered the palace to greet the queen mother before. The concubine is from a famous family, so she looks down on the queen mother a little bit, but I heard that she frequently entered the palace to pay her respects to the queen mother a few days ago.
"That's right, the emperor has been childless for several years. It's a good thing that there is finally a lady in charge in the palace." Another old princess said with a smile.
Ye Zhen nodded with a smile, "Thank you for caring about me."
In fact, she wanted to say that there is no need for outsiders to point out things like having a baby, not to mention that she has only entered the palace for less than a month.
"Are the two old concubines in a hurry, the empress is still young, and the emperor is in his prime, are you afraid that there will be no prince?" Someone asked.
Ye Zhen raised her eyes and saw that it was a lady wearing a second-grade auspicious dress. She thought for a while before realizing who it was. It turned out to be the wife of the cabinet minister Mr. Liu.
"Aren't there any other concubines in the palace? The emperor has not had a prince for so many years, and it's not because there is no empress to point it out. The emperor puts all his energy on political affairs. In the future, the empress will make the arrangements. Naturally It's different." Old Princess An said lightly.
The meaning of these words is obvious, it is to remind Ye Zhen that in the future, she should arrange other concubines to serve the emperor, and she should be the emperor's draft girl, and don't just focus on competing for favor, it is a serious matter to pass on the family line and give birth to more little princes.
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows, she didn't care about Old Princess An's rude words, but did Old Princess An look down on her? "I am also serving the emperor, so I can be the emperor's master anywhere, aren't you embarrassing me?"
Old Princess An showed displeasure on her face, "How can this be the emperor's master? This is for the royal family, to spread branches and leaves for the emperor."
"I naturally hope so." Ye Zhen smiled faintly, she did hope, but whether Mo Rongzhan would like to let other women bloom, that's his business.
"Old Concubine An is indeed the elder of the clan. The queen and the emperor have only been married for a long time. You are in a hurry." The middle-aged woman sitting beside her covered her mouth and smiled, but the smile in her eyes seemed to be Some disdain.
"I care about the emperor." Old Princess An said lightly, and looked up at Hu Yueer and An Xiuzhen, "The emperor doesn't like to go to the harem, so there must be no caring people. Since the queen has already entered the palace, it is natural to choose another one for the emperor." Something heartwarming, isn't this what a queen should do?"
Ye Zhen's eyes were slightly cold, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "What Princess An said is that you seem to know how to be a queen. It seems that I really need to ask you for advice."
Although Ye Zhen's tone sounded soft and gentle, the meaning was not very gentle to everyone's ears.
Everyone can see that the old Princess An doesn't seem to put the queen seriously. How could she ask the queen to choose a newcomer for the emperor on the first day of entering the palace to pay her respects? Isn't this slapping the queen in the face?
Old Princess An didn't restrain herself because of Ye Zhen's words. She looked down on this queen and thought that her background and upbringing were not worthy of marrying the emperor. It is impossible for an Israeli servant to be favored for a long time, "I dare not be a concubine, but I have grown up a few years in vain, and I have more knowledge than the empress. I heard that the empress grew up in the border town."
As if someone who grew up in a border town must be ignorant, Ye Zhen nodded with a smile, "That's right, I grew up in a border town since I was a child."
Old Princess An showed a smile as expected, she seemed very complacent, "The Empress has been in Kyoto for several years, I wonder if she can still adapt to life in Kyoto?"
Ye Zhen smiled faintly, "Does Princess An feel that this palace seems uncomfortable?"
"The concubine is just asking." Old Princess An said with a smile, she already firmly believed that the current queen is just a village turtle, no matter how good-looking she is, she can't compare to the young lady who was raised in a famous family's deep boudoir. She thought of a way to send her natal niece into the palace, so she could easily win over the queen.
Ye Zhen smiled lightly. She knew that many people in the capital looked down on her. In their eyes, she was the daughter of the Lu family. The Lu family used to be merchants. Is it back to normal? She grew up in a border town, and it is not only by being a queen that she can be truly respected by the ladies and wives who have always looked above the top.
This is not something that can change everyone's views in a day, she is not in a hurry.
"I heard that the empress's medical skills are excellent, isn't that the same as the previous Queen Huihui?" Someone said flatteringly.
Qi Yanling is proficient in medical skills, and has a great influence on future generations. No one in the world dares to disrespect her.
"However, if you know a little bit, you can't compare with Empress Qi." Ye Zhen said, she never dared to compare herself with Qi Yanling.
Old Princess An seems to have made up her mind that she must humiliate Ye Zhen in front of everyone today, "Speaking of Empress Qi, the concubine remembered an unwritten rule, after the queens of all ages entered the palace, they would write a letter and release it. To show encouragement at the Women's College, why not ask the Empress to send a letter to the Women's College today."
Isn't this obviously embarrassing the empress? We all know that the empress did not go to the women's college before going to the medical school, and the empress was born in a border town since she was a child, how much can the empress learn in a small border town? To put it bluntly, she is just a village girl...
Hong Ling took a deep look at Old Princess An, and a sneer flashed in her eyes. These ignorant and ridiculous people, their mother was the most talented woman in Kyoto back then, could it be that they couldn't even write a single line?
Ye Zhen smiled lightly, "Since there is such a rule, then I will write a single character. I graduated from the medical school, so I will write a copy and put it in the medical school."
Old Princess An showed a triumphant smile.
