Chapter 6 — The Crown Prince's Thanh Mai Missed the Great Ceremony, I Became the Crown Princess
Chu Tai Nhan's child passed away, but Ly My Nhan took the opportunity to be favored by the Crown Prince every night, hoping to soon give birth to a son to support. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish left. Therefore, I told Tieu Lien to discreetly remind the servants to serve Wei Thien Thien. Borrowing Wei Thien Thien's mouth to make Chu Tai Nhan and Ly My Nhan completely turn against each other. During those days of detention, Wei Thien Thien gradually started to think clearly. Without power, you won't be able to take even a single step in the Eastern Palace. Therefore, she knelt in front of the Crown Prince's study for a long time, sincerely admitting her mistake. The Crown Prince is inherently a soft-hearted and affectionate person. Otherwise, Wei Thien Thien's events that year would not have been so lightly ignored.
"Crown Prince, Thien Thien knows it's wrong. Even though I didn't do it on purpose, I still caused little sister Chu to suffer such misfortune. It was all because those gossipy palace servants deliberately instigated me, which caused such a big disaster."
She cried until the pear flowers were drenched in rain. In order to soften the Crown Prince's heart, she deliberately wore a white dress, so pure that there was no trace of dust.
"From now on, Thien Thien absolutely will not compete for favors anymore. As long as the Crown Prince brother still has Thien Thien in his heart, that is enough. Thien Thien will also help the Crown Princess manage the palace affairs, not causing the Crown Prince brother to have any more trouble."
Using backward as forward. Leading the disaster to another direction. Implicitly blaming all the responsibility on me for not being able to discipline the subordinates well. The Crown Prince also implicitly accepted that. Wei Thien Thien again began to blatantly install his own people, even coming to me to demand books and keys.
"Crown Princess, the Crown Prince specifically told me to come and help manage the palace affairs. I heard that the Queen Mother's health is not good, you should still spend more time in the palace serving."
“Eastern Palace... just leave it all to me.”
I agree unequivocally. After handing over all the books and keys, I immediately took my son to the palace to accompany the Queen, and at the same time stood by the Queen Mother to attend to her illness.
"Mother, if there is something you should take care of, your younger generation should take care of it. Your father's health is not good, there are still many things that need someone to take charge of the overall situation."
“On the Queen Mother's side, just leave this concubine here to serve.”
The Queen was pleased to pat my hand.
"Indeed, you are the person that this palace has chosen, just like this palace in the past, you are all blessed people."
Just that one sentence. Gave us both complete peace of mind. That idiot Wei Thien Thien. The Queen Mother does not have many more days to live. The Emperor has also fallen ill. The situation in the palace is changing unpredictably at this time. At a time like that, if we stay stuck in the Eastern Palace following the old ways, it's better to step out and gain the reputation of virtuous people. During the days I was not present at the Eastern Palace. The place was a mess.
“If you don't come back yet, I'm afraid Wei Thien Thien will turn the entire Eastern Palace upside down.” Tieu Lien was so impatient that she couldn't sit still.
I just smiled, picked up my son and placed him on my knee, then joked with him and said:
"Why rush? The more violently you toss and turn, the more painful it will be when you fall down."
The Queen Mother's funeral had just ended, and the Emperor's body was getting weaker day by day. The crown prince began to replace the king as the country's supervisor, suffering every day The situation was so heavy that I could barely breathe. Every time he returned to Dong Cung, he just wanted to rest a bit, but what caught his eyes was the sight of Wei Thien Thien jumping up and down, causing trouble everywhere. First, the palace servants came to accuse him, saying Trac Phi had cut expenses. The Crown Prince did not pay attention to such small things, so he just waved his hand and told her to take care of it herself. As a result, the next day, the kitchen manager knelt in front of him, saying that Wei Trac Phi cut off the blood bird that was originally used to stew for him and changed it to a lower grade one.
"Your Highness works hard day and night, the dragon body is the most important thing. This blood banquet was prepared by the Crown Princess herself. The slave did not dare to change it arbitrarily, but Imperial Concubine Wei said the Eastern Palace was strained on expenses, so she insisted on changing it to an inferior one..."
The prince raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
“Change it back to the way it was before.”
On the third day, the Infantry sent an urgent war report. The Crown Prince summoned all his advisors that night to discuss the situation.
