When the Crown Prince heard what the Empress said, he nodded his head and said he would.Right now, the Crown Princess"s house was surrounded like an iron bucket. She couldn"t even fly in a mosquito. He just hoped that she could give him a first child safely.
Seeing this, the empress didn"t say anything else and changed the subject to ask about the Second Prince"s matter?
The second prince was born the same year as the crown prince. If it weren"t for the fact that the empress was pregnant with the crown prince and had some ulterior motives, the crown prince would have already been born prematurely.
Although the throne was given to his son first, it would still make others feel uncomfortable if he had the son of the emperor pressing on on top of it.
It was also because of this that the Second Prince fought with the Crown Prince over everything, hoping that the Crown Prince would allow him to gain the upper hand.
Hearing that, the crown prince pouted and said, "He"s no different than before, doesn"t he still want to stand up for everything? Does he think that if he takes the lead, royal father will cripple me, the crown prince, and stand up for him?" As long as he had not committed any grave mistakes, his father would not easily cripple the crown prince. No matter how much the second prince flattered him, it would not concern him.
Just thinking about the matter with the Mansion of the State caused his mood to turn sour.
"Muhou, you really have to take care of the matters of the Mansion of the State. Don"t let the Mansion of the State implicate us."
The empress was a little tired after hearing this. "My son, you should also take extra precautions against the Second Prince. Don"t let him succeed, do you understand?" The Second Prince"s thoughts were too deep, and his ambitions were too high. He absolutely could not lower his guard.
In addition, the Imperial Concubine wasn"t someone who could be easily fooled. If they were to lower their guard even a little, they would fall flat on their backs.
"I know, Imperial Mother, don"t worry."
Just as the Crown Prince finished speaking, the mama came back, saying that the Wife of the Crown and Wu Furen had arrived.
The empress waved her hand at the crown prince to return, she had to settle some matters first.
The Crown Prince nodded and stood up to leave.
After the crown prince left, the empress moved to the Flower Hall. Wife of the Crown and Wu Furen, upon seeing the empress, quickly blessed her and said, "The empress is thousands of years old."
The Queen sat on the main seat and looked at the Wife of the Crown.
Wu Furen didn"t hear the words for her to rise. She lay on the ground trembling, not daring to move.
She was crying in her heart. Oh no, oh no, the empress was settling the score with her.
The empress stared at Wu Furen with a dignified face, staring at him until she trembled. Then, she opened her mouth and asked her, "Do you know your wrongs?"
"The Empress, you know your wrongs."
She wasn"t too stupid. She even knew that the empress must have been so angry because of what had happened today.
She hadn"t thought that this would alarm the empress.
She had regretted it long ago, and shouldn"t have offended Li Qingling. Who knew that Li Qingling"s backer was so great that even the Emperor would help him.
"Then tell me, what was your mistake?" This Wu Furen was really unsightly to the eye, extremely stupid.
Wu Furen"s forehead was covered in cold sweat as she stuttered, "Empress, I didn"t know that Li Qingling"s backer would be so big. If I did, I definitely wouldn"t have offended her so casually, and would have left her far behind."
Hearing that, the Empress"s face darkened. Wu Furen didn"t know where she was wrong?
"What you mean is, if you know that others don"t have any backers, you can bully others as you like?" The Mansion of the State"s reputation would be this bad, it was because of this idiot, "You think that you can do whatever you want just because you"re someone from Mansion of the State? "Hmm?"
Does everyone in Mansion of the State think so? Did he think she was the empress, that he could do whatever he wanted just because he had her as his backer, that he could do whatever he wanted without a care in the world?
They never thought about the difficulties of the empress. Even though she looked impressive on the surface, who could see the sword shining behind her? If there was even the slightest mistake, they would die without a burial ground.
How could she have such a stupid family?
Feeling the imposing aura of the Queen rushing towards him, more and more cold sweat dripped down from Wu Furen"s forehead, and her entire body trembled even more violently.
"Esteemed empress, I was wrong!" "I really know my wrongs and won"t dare to do it again. Esteemed Empress, please forgive me this time."
She was really afraid that the empress would chop off her head in anger.
After this incident, her eyes would be wide open, and she would no longer dare to offend others. Even if she offended someone, she had to investigate their background thoroughly.
In any case, she still didn"t know what his mistake was. If the empress knew what she was thinking, she would definitely be angered to the point that smoke would rise from the top of her head.
"Just this once. If you let me know the next time, don"t blame me."
"Yes, yes. There won"t be a next time."
The empress looked coldly at her again and spoke coldly!
"Thank you, esteemed empress."
The empress didn"t even spare her a glance before her aunt took her away.
After Wu Furen left, the Wife of the Crown sighed and said that she had made things difficult for the Empress.
After closing the door, she let out a sigh of relief and walked down from the main seat to sit beside Wife of the Crown. "Mother, I haven"t seen you in a long time, it"s been a long time. I"ve missed you."
Wife of the Crown reached out to caress the empress"s hand as she looked at her benevolently. "Your mother misses you too. This matter has implicated you once again. Just thinking about it, your mother doesn"t feel well."
Mother knows, her daughter is the mother of the world, very beautiful, but behind the scenes, who knows her hardships?
The water in the palace was very deep. If he did not focus, he would not know when he would drown.
"Mother, I called you in this time because I want you to tell Father that he should properly manage Mansion of the State and not continue to be like this. If this continues, the Emperor will really not show mercy again."
She hoped that her son would have an outer sect that could help him, and she didn"t want an outer sect that would drag him down.
If Mansion of the State continues like this, then don"t blame her for doing it himself.
She would not show mercy to anyone who could threaten her son"s position.
Even her family.
Hearing this, Wife of the Crown let out a deep sigh, "Don"t worry, this time I will definitely tell your father about this properly." She knew that after Guo Gongye was scolded by the Emperor, she had never let her guard down.
No matter how she tried, she could not persuade him otherwise. She hoped that this time, he could restrain himself and not implicate the Mansion of the State, the Empress and the Crown Prince.
Her daughter and her grandson were like stepping on thin ice in the palace. Mansion of the State couldn"t drag them down and make it more difficult for them.
"And that idiot. Mother, you should also properly control her and don"t let her go out to stir up trouble." When the Queen mentioned Wu Furen, her face was filled with disgust. "And the rest of the people at home.
Wife of the Crown gnashed her teeth and said, "That idiot, I will control her properly and won"t let her go out easily." That fool has implicated the Mansion of the State, how can she not be punished? " I will also be in charge of the rest of the people in the backyard, but your father will have to manage the front yard. "
The Empress acknowledged, then asked the Wife of the Crown, did Guo Gongye ever say when he would pa.s.s the position to her big brother?
Speaking of this matter, Wife of the Crown sighed worriedly, "Speaking of this matter, I am also very worried. Your father doesn"t want to pa.s.s the position to your big brother, he wants to pa.s.s the position to your third brother instead." Although both of them were her own sons, she didn"t want to see her two sons become enemies over this matter.
But compared to his two sons, his eldest son was indeed not suitable to inherit the Mansion of the State. His personality was too soft, and his ears were too soft, so he couldn"t bear the heavy burden of being the Mansion of the State.
But no matter what, he was the eldest son, and Mansion of the State was going to pa.s.s it on to the eldest son.
Unless something happened to the eldest son, he would only teach the Mansion of the State to others.
Thinking of this, Wife of the Crown was once again shocked by her own thoughts.
She did not want her other sons to do anything that would harm her brother.
"Did Father tell Mother about this?"
"I asked him before. There"s this meaning behind his words, but he just didn"t say it clearly."
The esteemed empress also knew what the situation was with her bros, but in reality, they were all third brother"s friends in her heart.
If Mansion of the State were to be handed over to her big brother, she was afraid that one day he would lose.
Wife of the Crown looked at the thoughtful Empress and probed in a low voice, "Child, how about you find a chance to persuade your father? As long as you say it, your father will listen. " She could not persuade him otherwise, Guo Gongye would not listen to her.
If his daughter was able to persuade him, Guo Gongye would probably listen.
She had been worrying about this for a long time, and she didn"t know what to do.
The back of her hand was covered in meat. She really couldn"t lean towards any of her sons.
If her eldest son was as smart as third son, she wouldn"t have bothered so much.
The Empress looked up and said to Wife of the Crown, "Mother, are you really at ease handing Mansion of the State over to Big Brother?" She was worried.
Hearing this, the Wife of the Crown was silent for a moment, then said with a bitter smile.
There was a rule a long time ago that the Mansion of the State had to be pa.s.sed on to the eldest son.
"I"ll think about it carefully and see what I can do about it." She wouldn"t let her father pa.s.s the position to her third brother, if it really was like that, the Mansion of the State would be in chaos.
Unless … Her big brother was gone …
The Queen also thought of the same problem as the Wife of the Crown.
She shook her head, shaking away the bad thoughts in her head.
Although her big brother wasn"t smart, he treated her very well. Everything was given to her little sister. Just based on their relationship alone, she couldn"t have any bad thoughts about him.
Wife of the Crown didn"t want to talk about this with the empress anymore, so she found another topic to talk about.
Only when they reached the palace that they were about to be locked up did they return home.
