Chapter 46 - Gongzi Ruyu
Chen Fei had already reached the Gongbei King Manor.
According to seniority, Chen Fei was Ziyi marquis's cousin, which meant she was Wei Ruo Yi's aunt. When His Majesty was still a prince, she had already been by his side. If it wasn't for the fact that she was only born from a concubine and had limited her status, the current Empress would probably have stood aside as well. This was the pain in her heart for the rest of her life.
She didn't have much hope left, so her only hope lay in her son. Fortunately, her son was personally raised by her and received the love of the emperor. However, there was still the third prince who was a formidable opponent at the empress's side. Although her son, Twelfth Prince, was still young, his strength could not be underestimated.
If the relationship between her and His Majesty had mostly turned into family after staying by his side for so many years, then his Majesty most likely truly loved the Shufei. The Chen Fei let out a low sigh. His Majesty's gaze on the Shufei had always been passionate and others might not notice it, but how could she not feel it after accompanying the Empress by his side for so many years?
The harem looked like a beautiful and peaceful place, but who was truly able to keep a low profile and not fight over it? They didn't feel jealous at all.
She could only continue to keep her virtuous name to herself. Only by relying on the friendship between her and His Majesty for so many years, would she be able to compete with the Empress and the Shufei.
Although she was General Wei's cousin, when she was young, she did not interact much and could not be considered close. At that time, Wei Yi was just annoyed by everyone. He was a brat that was disgusted by ghosts, who would have thought that he would be able to reach the pinnacle of society today? Chen Fei wrung her hands, it was just that she could not understand why the Shufei would be so intimate with her cousin. She had already heard the Shufei speak kindly of him before in front of His Majesty.
If the Shufei was already tightly roping in the Wei family to pave the way for her son's future, as the cousin of the General Wei, she seemed to have the advantage.
Of course, the powerful Wei family was also a thorn in the side of the Western Schell's.
Schell's was the queen's mother family. Although the Schell's's ancestral home was not in the capital, but to be able to survive through the two dynasties, other than the Schell's, there was no other family in the Great Liang Dynasty. Whether it was the previous dynasty or the current Great Liang, the Schell's had a way to survive.
The descendant of the Schell's was renowned throughout the world, and the empress had only managed to take the upper hand of a Schell's direct daughter, thus surpassing her to sit in the main palace. If it was said that the Chen Fei did not hate him, how could that be possible? But even if it was hatred, it could only be silently placed in the bottom of his heart and not revealed.
The few of them had already decided on their lives, but the future path of their son was still uncertain. It all depended on how hard they were going to work.
His Majesty had not been able to establish the crown prince for a long time, and had only given the Chen Fei and the Chen Fei hope. His Majesty himself was not the legitimate eldest son, so the Empress did not seem to be taking advantage of him either.
It could be said that the Chen Fei was here for the ladies of the Wei family.
Besides, Wei Ruo Yi was only fifteen years old this year. If she could settle the situation for two years, she could think of a way to do it, and it wasn't that she couldn't kill off everything that happened previously. More importantly, Wei Yi valued this daughter greatly, so as long as she could capture Wei Ruo Yi in her hands, she would be able to hold onto Wei Yi tightly.
The moment Esteemed Empress Chen arrived at the Gongbei King Palace, she found out that Wei Ruo Yi had helped Xiao Yu with some injuries, so she did not rush for Wei Ruo Yi to come to see her.
To be able to obtain the green eyes of the Esteemed Empress Chen, those noble ladies were naturally unable to contain their joy.
Fourth Prince was like a pearl, gentle and reserved. Everyone knew about Yan Jing City, and everyone else.
The Fourth Prince should be coming in person today, but until now, why was it that when he saw the Chen Fei, he did not see it?
