C135 A prince who comes and goes like the wind (1/2)
The Crown Prince's consort selection banquet was not something that could be sloppy. The empress couldn't bear to see the crown prince, so she let him choose his concubine at the place where his mother had once lived. She also couldn't bear to see the phoenix seep. It could be said that there were two birds with one stone. Most importantly, he would become the scapegoat!
Mu Ru Yue's gaze became colder as she completely understood what the empress was thinking in her heart. The clay figure was still somewhat bloodthirsty. Ever since he came to the palace, the empress had wanted to kill him. Even if he didn't have a temper, he would still be angry at her for repeatedly doing so.
”I wonder how Seventh Princess thinks of Linglong Palace?” Is it a suitable place for the Crown Prince to choose concubines? ” the empress asked flatly. In his heart, he was waiting for the only answer that Mu Ru Yue could give.
When Mu Ru Yue heard this, she smiled. She looked at the empress and said lightly, ”I feel that the long period of disrepair of Linglong Palace is not suitable.”
As soon as Mu Ru Yue said that, the empress's expression darkened. She said unkindly, ”Since you haven't been able to fix it for a long time, let's just fix it.” ”Both Esteemed wangfei and Esteemed Empress Dowager felt that Linglong Palace was suitable, so how could esteemed wangfei not?”
”Esteemed Empress thinks it's appropriate, it's your business. But Mu Ru Yue felt that it wasn't a suitable place for the consort selection banquet. ” Mu Ru Yue had already made up her mind. Even if she had to offend the empress dowager, she definitely couldn't agree to that!
The empress didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Mu Ru Yue would have to contend with her again. And it was on this matter that his face darkened horribly. ”Seventh Princess, there are some words you need to think about first.”
”I thought very clearly. Although the empress dowager summoned me to help her, the decision is in her hands. It has nothing to do with me.” Mu Ru Yue's attitude could be said to be neither humble nor haughty, but it was precisely this kind of attitude that made the empress want to smash the teacup in her hand.
She took a deep breath and looked at Murong Yue. Just as she was about to say something, Aunt Yu said, ”Esteemed Empress, since esteemed wangfei feels that it's inappropriate, why don't you solve your other problems first? Let's settle the matter of this palace in the end. ”
Aunt Yu's words successfully quelled the empress's anger. The empress looked at Aunt Yu, only to see her look at the empress with a warning, which made the empress suppress her anger. The empress looked at Aunt Yu, only then did the empress suppress her anger, and she said with some difficulty, ”Since that's the case, we can decide on this later.
After being chased out by the empress again, Mu Ru Yue didn't even bother to mock the empress's character. With her character, being able to live in the palace for so long and even become a main palace made it really hard for the women of the imperial harem. At the very least, to her knowledge, Princess Wuyou's mufei was more suitable.
He had both the means and the intelligence. But what about the empress now?
Mu Ru Yue couldn't help but shake her head. Today, the person who brought Mu Ru Yue out was a young palace maid. She looked to be about 14 or 15 years old. Her eyes were clear as she said, ”Royal Consort, this servant will bring you to the imperial garden.”
”Yes.” Mu Ru Yue didn't make things difficult for this little girl and nodded. After Murong Yue left, a girl's angry voice sounded from within the empress's palace, ”Why did you stop me? Auntie Yu, did you forget that the empress dowager told you to help me? ”
Aunt Yu bowed when she heard this. ”Esteemed empress, you need to consider this matter further. ”That Mu Ru Yue was very cooperative in the beginning, so why would her attitude change instantly?”
The queen was silent.
”I'm afraid that in the imperial harem, there are people who do not wish to see your plan succeed. Since that was the case, Seventh Princess' matter was a small matter. What was needed now was to thoroughly implement the plans to activate Linglong Palace. ”Even if we can't find a flaw in Mu Ru Yue's character, we should at least make sure to do something about it.”
Aunt Yu said solemnly.
”You're right, no matter what, the Linglong Palace must be reactivated.” The empress calmed down, the murderous intent in her eyes hard to conceal.
Seeing the empress's reaction, Aunt Yu shook her head. ”Empress, you have been in the palace for many years. Even if you don't think for yourself, at least... ”We should think of other things as well.” Aunt Yu said, looking at the empress's stomach.
Hearing this, the Queen's expression became serious. Then, as if he had thought of something, he smiled: ”If you want to activate Linglong Palace, I have thought of a better idea.”
