Chapter 1045 Chu Liuyue’s Wishful Thinking
"Yes, Princess, I know." Qing'er responded, and that was all she could do at the moment. The people she had on hand were the people who were asked by her to protect the Princess. If they were all sent out to inquire about the news, they might not be able to find out anything. Said, and may also leave the princess with a shortage of manpower.
The capital has been uneasy recently. Qing'er is responsible for safety and really doesn't dare to be careless.
Qing'er felt uneasy here, but she didn't know that the news that Princess Yao had married to Cang Country had been vaguely spread...
"Princess Jade Tao of Yao Kingdom wants to marry Chu Liuchen?" Chu Liuyue put down the note in her hand, raised it, and then handed it to her staff, Mr. Liu, and said, "Sir, what do you think?"
After Mr. Liu took it, he looked at it carefully and laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, now is a good time!"
"What do you say?" Chu Liuyue asked.
"My lord, you see, this Princess Yutao wants to marry His Highness Prince Chen, but His Highness Prince Chen is already married to the princess, but this Princess Yutao is here to get married, and she can't be too young, so between the two Conflicts are bound to arise, wouldn't it be a good idea to stir up trouble?" Mr. Liu said with a smile.
There were too many meanings in these words. Chu Liuyue thought about it and asked tentatively: "Father, will your third brother marry another princess?"
"Probably not. It has never been possible for a prince to marry a wife who is similar to the royal family like the common people, otherwise it will disturb the royal concubine." Mr. Liu shook his head and said, "But the situation here with His Highness Chen Wang is different. , it’s a good idea to test the emperor’s mind!”
"Please teach me, sir!" Chu Liuyue said with a salute.
Mr. Liu hurriedly stood up without even daring to say anything, and then sat down with Chu Liuyue, "If the emperor is interested in allowing His Highness King Chen to marry Princess Yutao, no matter from which aspect, Your Highness, you can rest assured , you can even appoint His Highness King Chen."
What he said was not very clear, but Chu Liuyue understood it. After thinking about it carefully, she said with admiration: "Okay, then report to the father the emperor that Princess Yutao of Yao Kingdom intends to marry her third brother. Let Father make the decision!"
"Wait a minute, Your Highness King Yue cannot do this." Mr. Liu stopped him.
"Why?" Chu Liuyue was puzzled. Since it was his father's intention, why was he not allowed to bring this matter to his father?
"Does Your Highness know if the Emperor has any news about this?" Mr. Liu asked with a smile.
Chu Liuyue shook her head: "I don't know. The people beside my father and the people I inserted are not of any interest. I don't know the specific information."
He did bribe a few people and inserted a few people in, but they were all from outside and couldn't get close to the emperor. Therefore, he knew only a little about the things around the emperor, and often did not dare to act lightly.
"Your Highness doesn't know whether the emperor has received the news, so naturally no other officials have heard about it, right?" Mr. Liu asked again.
Chu Liuyue thought for a while and shook her head. When he went to court today, it was no different from the past. The affairs of the Xingguohou Mansion were settled. No one in their own house objected. The son provoked Princess Yuan'an. They collided with each other and injured both Princess Yuan'an and Marquis Xingguo's son. I heard that the injuries were in the legs. I don't know if they will be able to walk again in the future.
If he is really disabled, any talk of being the heir apparent is false.
Is it reasonable to leave a good heir behind and let a disabled one be the heir apparent?
Moreover, these words made the eldest princess Ruiping lose her face, and even made the Queen and His Royal Highness the King of Zhou angry.
With so many concerns, the day before yesterday, because the position of Prince Xingguo fell to Shao Yuanhao, who was raised in the Princess's Mansion in Ruian, many people expressed inappropriateness. The next day, there was no sound about this matter. I was dancing vigorously before, For various reasons, everyone calmed down.
The position of the crown prince of Xingguo Hou has been confirmed, and there is peace and tranquility in the court.
"Since no one is talking about this, it means that no one knows about it. How did His Highness King Yue know about it?" Mr. Liu said meaningfully.
If Chu Liuyue really went to tell the emperor, it meant that he knew it. If the emperor didn't know, then it would be very problematic. Why did he know it when the emperor didn't know it? If the emperor knew about it but kept it secret, it would be even more problematic. Even if it was kept secret, did Chu Liuyue stretch his hand a little longer?
No matter from which aspect, Chu Liuyue could only be ignorant at the moment.
"Yes... I was negligent, but I forgot about it." Chu Liuyue also woke up at this time and nodded repeatedly, but it turned out that he had thought wrong before.
"Then what should we do now?" Chu Liuyue turned around and asked again. He really wanted to publicize this matter, but no matter how he looked at it, Chu Liuchen couldn't get over it.
"For now, Your Majesty pretends that he doesn't know. If someone says this in court, Your Majesty will say a few words about what we discussed before. The main point is that the previous diplomatic relations between the two countries were not easy. Although Ao Country is a small and wild country, it is I don’t really obey the discipline of the Dongcang Kingdom, and I heard that some of the witchcraft in the Yao Kingdom are very weird. If you can make good friends, you should make good friends. If you don’t manage the relationship well with the small border country, you will still be in chaos in the future. Although it is a small country, it will be a mess. Due to the terrain and some sorcery, it is difficult to conquer, so we always have to make good friends." Mr. Liu said.
Chu Liuyue nodded repeatedly.
This statement was the most selfless, but it forced Chu Liuchen to come out.
If Chu Liuchen wants to obey, he must divorce the current Princess Chen, or make this Princess Chen a concubine. He must make way for Princess Yutao. Even Princess Ruian cannot say that. This is not a good idea. After all, state affairs must be greater than family affairs. As a princess, you should understand this truth.
Thinking of Princess Chen, Shao Wan's painting-like appearance flashed before Chu Liuyue's eyes. It was really aggrieved for Chu Liuchen's side concubine to have such an alluring appearance. That sick child was indeed not a good person. Just look at her. How much harm has been caused.
As for being divorced and coming back, Chu Liuyue thought it was unlikely, but it was basically certain that he would overwhelm Shao Wanru. Even if his father was partial, he would probably consider the special status of the country!
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly felt hot.
If it were a concubine, wouldn't my concubine be much better than the sickly concubine?
With a low cough, Chu Liuyue asked: "Mr. Liu, do you think the third brother will divorce the current Princess Chen and make way for Princess Yutao?"
He thought it was impossible, but couldn't help but ask.
Mr. Liu glanced at Chu Liuchen and could read some meaning from his face. He smiled and shook his head and advised: "The prince will succeed in his future. What kind of woman doesn't exist? Why bother thinking about those who don't belong to you?" You should still think about what will happen if the Emperor does not allow His Highness Prince Chen to marry Princess Yutao?"
Chu Liuyue was stunned when she said this, and immediately woke up from the pink bubble in her heart. Yes, there is another possibility, that is, the emperor and the queen mother would not allow it.
This is really possible, at least more likely than letting Chu Liuchen divorce Shao Wanru.
"Then...does it mean that Chu Liuchen is also possible?" After saying this, Chu Liuyue stood up suddenly. After turning around twice with his hands behind his back, he pursed his thin lips tightly before suppressing the pain in his heart. Angry, "Father should know who his biological son is!"
Even the most confused person would not do this if he passed on his son instead of his nephew, not to mention that his father had never been a confused person.
Chu Liuyue sometimes hopes that her father is confused, but until now, her father has always been very clear-minded, but Chu Liuyue can't see through Chu Liuchen's matters.
Obviously he shouldn't have the chance to grow up, but his father and his grandmother protected him wholeheartedly, while leaving his biological son aside, so that when he saw Chu Liuchen, he was a little weaker. Every time he thought about this , Chu Liuyue felt uneasy and her chest was tight.
"My lord, have you ever thought about...or..." Mr. Liu hesitated. This sounded like a rebellious thing to say, but that's exactly what he thought.
"Mr. Liu, please tell me, there is no one else here, but I am defenseless!" Chu Liuyue said.
"Your Majesty, do you think it is possible for His Royal Highness Chen Wang...to be with the Emperor..." Mr. Liu did not dare to go any further when he said this. His voice trembled unconsciously. If this kind of thing is true, then it is the royal family's fault. If you know the secret, you may not be able to survive.
Chu Liuyue didn't hear it at first, but after she realized it, she shook her hand with a wry smile: "Mr. Liu is overthinking, it's absolutely impossible!"
How could the late emperor's eldest son be related to his father?
"There may be something about Concubine Lan... Concubine Lan is my father's favorite concubine. It is said that she is the sister of the late queen, but I have never seen her." Chu Liuyue said.
This was a conjecture told to her by her mother-in-law. In fact, people in the palace have always had suspicions about Concubine Lan. Some people say that Concubine Lan is the most favored concubine of the emperor, even now. Some people say that Concubine Lan was the most favored concubine in the past. , but not now, otherwise she would not have been locked up, and she would not even be allowed to pay her respects to the Queen and the Queen Mother.
Some people say that Concubine Lan is now too old and her days are numbered.
There were many conjectures about Concubine Lan in the palace, but the one that Chu Liuyue's mother-concubine believed the most was that Concubine Lan was the biological sister of the late empress.
"Concubine Lan? Why have you never heard of it?" Mr. Liu asked in surprise. He really didn't know that there was such a concubine in the palace. He had never heard that the emperor had such a beloved concubine in the past.
"Only people in the palace should know something about Concubine Lan, because at the moment, Concubine Lan seems to be unpopular, and her father basically won't go there. An outdated concubine who is even banned and under guard is not People will care, and besides, it has been more than ten years since this happened, who would still remember such a concubine."
Chu Liuyue said nonchalantly, if his mother-in-law hadn't pointed out that there was such a Concubine Lan, he might not have known about it either.
For a while, he even had another conjecture. For this conjecture, he specially asked Shao Yanru to check the old affairs of Concubine Lan...
The life of this Concubine Lan is also a pitiful one with twists and turns...
