After Princess Zhaoyang got married, there was a rare peaceful life in the capital for a few days, but it was only peaceful on the surface.
In the court, the struggle for power between the crown prince and the seventh prince became increasingly fierce, so much so that when Ning Yuanhou and Xu Yanquan came back from court every morning, their faces were not particularly good-looking.
Although Mrs. Xu didn't know exactly what happened in the court, she could still see clues on Marquis Ningyuan's face.
Because of Yan Junuo's actions, the Yan family was forced to join the prince's camp. As a royalist, Marquis Ningyuan refused to meet several uncles of the Yan family alone three times in a row.
This will make Mrs. Xu somewhat embarrassed.
On this day, Marquis Ningyuan and Xu Yanquan went to court. As soon as they left, Mrs. Yan came.
Mrs. Xu knew that Mrs. Yan was coming, so she first asked Qiu Chan to shirk the blame, saying that she had already gone out, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Yan would have arrived long ago. Mrs. Xu would have such a move, so she directly exposed Qiu Chan: "I I know your eldest wife doesn’t want to see me, but today, I want to see her no matter what, and if she never comes to see her, I will wait for her here!”
Mrs. Yan is a person who sticks to her word. Since he said that he must see her today, no matter what he says, he will not leave.
Mrs. Xu was helpless, so she had to bite the bullet and invite Mrs. Yan to come in.
Mrs. Yan also knew that she was here to ask for help, so she waited quietly in the guest room for a long time.
When Mrs. Xu came out, she looked at Mrs. Yan sitting there, sighed deeply, and then said, "Sister-in-law!"
When Mrs. Yan saw Mrs. Xu, her eyes moved slightly and she opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't say anything.
"Sister-in-law, she is just a girl born from a concubine. There is no need for you to work so hard for her!" Madam Xu walked to Madam Yan, held Madam Yan's hand, and comforted her softly.
"Who is running for her? It's just that she is the only daughter in the Yan family. You know better than I do that everyone will be prosperous and suffer losses!" Mrs. Yan's eyes turned red. "Back then, I made a mistake every step of the way. , raising such a thing that is a disaster to the whole family!"
Mrs. Xu was silent and didn't speak for a long time.
"When the incident first happened, although His Majesty and the Queen were dissatisfied, for the sake of our Yan family, they privately agreed to get engaged to the two of them after the news was over. But who would have thought that this prince Your Highness's heart is so vicious!" Madam Yan said and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Did the Crown Prince make any excessive demands?" Madam Xu looked at Madam Yan, feeling a strange sense of panic in her heart.
Mrs. Yan looked at Mrs. Xu, her eyes full of prayers.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unwilling to marry Yan Junuo as the Crown Princess. At most, she can only be given the position of concubine!" Mrs. Yan said softly.
Mrs. Xu frowned slightly: "The concubine is fine, but do you still want her to be the crown princess?"
"How dare you think like this!" Mrs. Yan quickly shook her head, "I just want to give this unfortunate thing away, whether it is my wife or concubine, even if it is a marriage, it doesn't matter to me, but...but..."
"But what?" Mrs. Xu's heart grew higher and higher.
"But the prince said that it was impossible for him to marry a side concubine first and then the main concubine. He said that he needed a main wife who was powerful enough. The girl from the Xu family is quite good..."
"Dream!" Mrs. Xu stood up suddenly and smashed the tea cup in her hand, "Not to mention the prince's character, what kind of virtue is your Yan Junuo? I don't know, you don't know yet. Do you? I want my Mo Mo to serve the same husband as her and dream!"
Mrs. Yan probably expected Mrs. Xu to have such a reaction, but she was not surprised. She just sat there quietly without saying a word.
Seeing Mrs. Yan's appearance, Mrs. Xu suddenly understood why Marquis Ningyuan refused to see her brothers. For such a matter, Marquis Ningyuan did not directly beat them out, but had already given it to Mrs. Xu. Save face.
"For such a person to come to my door and say this to me, sister-in-law, please touch your own conscience, don't you feel uncomfortable?" Mrs. Xu looked at Mrs. Yan, her eyes full of disappointment.
"I know, but that position is for the Crown Princess!" Madam Yan raised her eyes and looked at Madam Xu, "If the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, she will be the Queen!"
"Our Xu family has never cared about the position of Crown Princess and Queen!" Mrs. Xu looked at Mrs. Yan coldly, "Don't mention this matter again, I will just pretend that you have never been here today..."
"Are you going to kill all the girls in your mother's family for someone else's daughter?" Madam Yan stood up suddenly, staring straight at Madam Xu, shouting at the top of her lungs.
Mrs. Xu was stunned. She looked at Mrs. Yan blankly: "So, in your opinion, Mo Mo is someone else's child!"
"Both she and Xu Yanquan are both the children of the Qingyuan He family and He Fengyin!" Madam Yan said coldly, "You have to think clearly. People's hearts are separated from each other. After all, these two children did not spring from your belly. After you come out, we are blood relatives!"
Mrs. Xu looked at Mrs. Yan with shock in her eyes. She felt that the person in front of her was like a stranger: "Is this what the elder brother asked you to say?"
Mrs. Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and she avoided Mrs. Xu's gaze with a guilty conscience: "I'm telling the truth!"
"Truth?" Madam Xu laughed angrily at Madam Yan, "Yan Junuo is the only one who commits suicide. If you just hang her, your Yan family can still have a strict family. I think you are reluctant to let it go!"
Mrs. Xu probably thought that Mrs. Daoyan was attracted to her, and her face turned red instantly: "You..."
"What am I?" Mrs. Xu sneered, "You just don't like Yan Junuo's style, but you can't let go of the powerful position of the crown prince's concubine. How can I not know what your plans are? Your left hand wants it too, Even if you want to take it with your right hand, you will end up with nothing!"
"Then it's not enough for Xu Qingmo to get the position of Crown Princess?" Mrs. Yan was also a little angry, "Don't tell me you don't want the power that comes to you!"
Mrs. Xu looked at Mrs. Yan in front of her, and her heart became colder and colder: "Do you think everyone is the same as you? You have to get the power of the royal family yourself. For our girls, don't even think about it!"
"I'm your sister-in-law!"
Mrs. Xu looked at Mrs. Yan for a long time, and then said coldly: "I am Mrs. Ningyuan Hou, Mrs. Yipingaoming!"
