Chapter 475: A Woman Bent on Seeking the Throne

"Mother, do I want to go too?" Shao Yanru looked at Mrs. Xingguo displeased, her eyebrows slightly raised, and her expression was a bit arrogant, but even so, she is also a very beautiful young lady.

Under Liu Ye's eyebrows, her eyes are leisurely. Although she has a bit of arrogance from aristocratic families, it is not very annoying. You may even feel that the beauty in front of you is a bit elegant, very beautiful, and very attractive.

No wonder everyone says that Miss Shao is both talented and beautiful. Not only is her talent outstanding, but her appearance is also outstanding. She is a rare beauty.

"The Queen has decreed that everyone of this age group must go. You were just at Yuhui Temple before, but now you have to go down the mountain!" Mrs. Xingguo said helplessly, reaching out and pressing her forehead. , "It's all because of that bitch who made a fuss about observing mourning for three years and forced you down from the mountain, which messed up the good situation!"

Of course, Mrs. Xingguo is concerned about the prince's choice of concubine. Not only is she concerned, but she also feels that her daughter is very likely to be chosen, but she is also afraid that she will be chosen. This is the time when the storm is at the forefront. Her daughter left before to avoid the storm.

What if you enter the Zhou Palace and it is King Yue who succeeds?

What if you marry King Yue and King Zhou finally becomes emperor?

Of course, Shao Yanru meant that she would not marry anyone at this time. She would rather stay like an old girl and live in the mountains until the situation becomes clearer, in the name of studying painting. Others would only say that she is indifferent to fame and fortune and is dressed like a young lady from other aristocratic families. While the flowers were blooming, she was alone in the mountains, living a quiet and inactive life.

Anyone would look up to her.

Once the situation becomes clear in the future, with her reputation and talent, coupled with her friendship with Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou, it will be a very simple matter no matter who she wants to marry. As for not becoming the principal wife after marrying her, It doesn't matter. With the strength of herself and Duke Xingguo, Shao Yanru feels that becoming the queen of the next realm is just a matter of time.

Even if she waits until she is twenty to get married, she is fine with it!

After six years, it was enough to make everything clear, but now was not the best time, and she did not want to appear in front of others.

If you appear in front of people early, without that noble sense of mystery, you will lose many benefits in the future.

She only said that she had been in the mountains for more than half a year, and if the situation was still unclear, she could just stay there. She only said that learning to paint was difficult and that she needed to be more attentive.

Unexpectedly, this matter actually destroyed Shao Wanru, who was born out of nowhere.

"That girl is too cunning, mother, didn't I tell you to be careful about her? You also asked the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion to restrain her, how could you let her accept the marriage safely?"

Shao Yanru said with a calm expression.

"Who knew this bitch could be so cunning? I didn't pay attention for a moment, and she rushed here in a hurry!" Mrs. Xingguo defended with a frown.

Looking at her daughter's face she felt a little guilty.

Although Shao Yanru was her daughter, after her daughter became sensible, Mrs. Xingguo always felt a little flustered when it came to her own daughter. Compared to herself, this daughter was too sensible and powerful, and she didn't even think highly of women. The worthy Duke Xingguo also praised his daughter very much.

The daughter is perfect in every aspect. There is no young lady from an aristocratic family in the entire capital who can compare with her. Not only is she outstanding in appearance, but her manners are also well behaved. Every step is planned in advance. For such a daughter, as a mother You will also feel inferior.

Shao Yanru leaned back on the couch behind her, with a hint of sarcasm on her elegant-looking face, "Mother, please stop making excuses. You have nothing to do with this matter. If you are not sure, don't take action. Once you do, you must hit with one hit." , and you can’t implicate yourself, mother, I think you have been in the position of Mrs. Xingguo for so long that you have lost even the most basic sense of crisis!"

Her eyebrows were raised with a hint of ice, which made her look more and more noble.

This kind of aura is very stressful in the eyes of Mrs. Xingguo. The noble aura of her daughter is stronger than that of other concubines in the palace. Only the aura of the Queen and the Queen Mother can be compared.

Does this mean that his daughter will definitely aspire to the throne in the future? Thinking of this, Mrs. Xingguo's heart was filled with warmth, and she became more and more obedient to her daughter.

"This matter... is indeed my fault. I thought it was no big deal for a little girl to make a movie. I didn't expect that things would change so much. In the end, I couldn't suppress it any more. Your father was still blaming me for having a fever. Even if I want to burn this girl to death, I won’t burn your eldest brother’s yard.”

Thinking of this incident, Mrs. Xingguo felt that her heart still ached. Her collection, her yard, and all her hard work. If she found out who set the fire, she would definitely not spare him.

"Since my mother is reluctant to part with that yard, she shouldn't have let her live in the house in the first place. She is a girl who has just entered the house. It is normal for my mother to have a normal relationship with her. There is no need to think too much about fame and reputation."

Shao Yanru's voice was very soft and pleasant. If you didn't hear the content clearly, it would feel like a spring breeze. However, the content of the words pointedly criticized Mrs. Xingguo and did not leave her with the kindness of a mother.

Mrs. Xingguo's face turned as red as blood and she argued forcefully: "I just thought wrong at the time and thought she was just a bumpkin from Jiangzhou!"

"But it turns out that mother was wrong. Mother is the bumpkin!" Shao Yanru's eyebrows narrowed slightly, and his expression became more and more unhappy.

The plan she originally made was very good and was praised by her grandmother and father, but now it was ruined by her mother. Shao Yanru felt that even though she had a good temper, she couldn't help but get angry at this time.

"But...but..." Mrs. Xingguo was embarrassed.

"Mom, there's nothing to worry about. If you think you can't handle it, just tell your father directly. You don't have to say so much just to postpone it. My eldest brother is coming back too. If this yard is burned down, my eldest brother won't be happy either. You Think about how you will explain it to your elder brother later!"

Shao Yanru waved her hand and started to chase people away in displeasure!

"I'll explain it to your elder brother! Your father... I can't discuss this kind of thing with him. He's not sure what he thinks in his heart. He might as well give that woman back..." Duke Xingguo said.

"Mom, please stop explaining. Is it fun to be jealous all day long? What happens to your father and that woman has nothing to do with you. Is a crazy woman worthy of you missing me for so many years? Is it okay for you to lose control? Have you ruined something big? Mother, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Why do you have to be jealous of a lunatic? No wonder my father dislikes seeing you less and less now!"

Shao Yanru picked up the tea on the table coldly, took a sip, and said with a smile that did not reach her eyes.

Being ridiculed by her own daughter, no matter how well-educated Mrs. Xingguo was, she couldn't bear it anymore. These words really went too far into her heart.

"Ru'er, you don't understand this kind of thing, and you don't have to defend your father. This is not a matter of jealousy or not..."

"Mother, forget it. I can't explain it to you. Just help me complain about this banquet. Just say that I got cold after coming down from the mountain. Let the doctor in the house take a look. , let the doctor outside the house take a look at it too!"

Shao Yanru became impatient and raised her eyebrows.

Being repeatedly ridiculed by her daughter, Mrs. Xingguo's heart felt heavy. She breathed it out or breathed it out, but she couldn't ignore business at this time, so she simply pretended not to hear the first half of Shao Yanru's words and calmed down. He smiled dryly and said, "It's okay if the doctor in the house asks him to give you a cold report, but I'm afraid it won't work for those outside the house."

At a banquet held in the palace, if one reports illness but is not ill, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Although the banquet is just for the purpose of selecting a concubine, and I heard that it is just a formality to select a concubine, it still belongs to the queen. I mean, if it really goes against the Queen's wishes, this matter can be big or small!

"My mother really had no idea. She found some maids, poured some basins of water on them, and asked them to stay all night without changing their clothes. To see who was the sickest, she brought them to me and lowered the curtain for the doctor to take a look at. Look, that’s okay!”

Shao Yanru said casually.

In such a severe winter, it is too cold to wear heavy clothes. If you pour a few basins of water on it and cover it all night, you may get sick or die.

But the lives of a few maids don't matter.

Mrs. Xingguo's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she nodded immediately, "Okay, okay, okay, you still have a way, I'll go get someone to do it now."

"Isn't it too early now? Mother, the sun is still shining brightly at this moment. When you do this kind of thing, why don't you do it at night when few people can see it?"

Shao Yanru felt that she really couldn't talk to her mother anymore. It was not a routine at all. No wonder she would lose to a bumpkin who had just arrived in the capital, and she had to go down the mountain.

Calculating it this way, that country bumpkin was only a little or two better than her mother. On these two points, she still looked down upon him.

Ignoring the smiling Mrs. Xingguo who was accompanying her, Shao Yanru was wondering whether he should meet King Yue first or whether he should meet King Zhou in private first. Of course, this so-called meeting could not mean a special trip. You have to see it inadvertently, and you have to express your helplessness.

Only by working together on both sides can we grab the queen's position at the end.

She could afford to wait for three or four years. With her looks and talents, no matter who took the position of crown princess, she would not be her opponent.

However, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win the final victory, and she will not fight an uncertain battle.

After thinking clearly, she sat up and stood up and walked to the window. A maid had already polished the ink for her. She picked up her pen and thought about the names of several ladies from aristocratic families who might become Princess Yue and Princess Zhou, and wrote them down one by one. , and then analyze in detail what shortcomings and advantages each of these people have.

Only after you understand these can you plan and take action...

As for Shao Wanru, there is no need to care at all...
