Mrs. Situ sighed: "Wan'er, you have to bow your head when you are under the eaves. The prince will be the emperor one day, and the prince concubine will be the queen. We -"
"But her position as queen should belong to me!" Situ Wan interrupted her uncontrollably, with red eyes and an ugly face, "Mother, the position of queen should belong to me... It should belong to me, right?
?”
"Yes, yes, the back seat should belong to you. Yun Zishu took your seat. She is a thief." Mrs. Situ responded repeatedly and scolded Yun Zishu. Then she couldn't help but sighed again, "But Wan
Son, the situation is now like this, and there is nothing we can do for the time being. As long as the prince is alone with her, not even the queen can do anything, so are you going to continue to fight against her to the end?"
Situ Wan said nothing, his red eyes showed that he was truly aggrieved and unwilling.
Why would a girl from a foreign race appear out of nowhere and take her place so casually? The person in charge of the palace is her aunt, and the prince is the biological son of the queen's aunt. It is natural for the mother to decide on her son's marriage, so why should the prince disobey her?
Yi Zhi?
Situ Wan was resentful and unwilling to accept his fate, let alone see Yun Zishu's arrogant face.
Asking her to bow her head to Yun Zishu would be worse than killing her.
"Wan'er." Mrs. Situ said hesitantly, "I came here today because of your father's wishes."
Situ Wan's heart sank, and she slowly looked up at her mother, almost guessing what she was going to say: "Father wants me to go to the Prince's Mansion to apologize to Yun Zishu?"
"It's not an apology." Mrs. Situ's eyes flashed slightly, "Aren't you going to marry Huangfu Lingfeng? Huangfu Chuchu happened to go to the Prince's Mansion today, so you should just go there for Huangfu Chuchu, and you will soon become sisters-in-law...
…”
"Huangfu Chuchu is only thinking about having a relationship with Yun Zishu, what can I say to her?" Situ Wan said angrily, "Does mother want me to embarrass myself in front of Yun Zishu?"
"Don't be angry, Wan'er, anger will hurt your health." Mrs. Situ said in a helpless tone, "Isn't there nothing we can do? According to your father's understanding, the emperor has already thought of abdicating, and the crown prince's accession to the throne will only happen sooner or later."
Situ Wan said: "So what?"
Mrs. Situ frowned: "The new emperor needs to establish his authority when he ascends the throne. Your father is worried that the Situ family will be liquidated. When the time comes..."
She was afraid of something, she didn't finish her sentence.
But how could Situ Wan not understand what she meant?
His face changed slightly, and Situ Wan couldn't help but tighten his hands. The new emperor wanted to kill people and scare the officials. Situ Wan had repeatedly opposed the Crown Princess. If people were to hold grudges, the Situ family would be the first to be liquidated and retaliated.
's family.
Situ Wan's face was as dark as water: "With aunt here, I don't believe what they dare to do."
"Your aunt is not omnipotent, otherwise why would she put you in such an embarrassing situation?" Mrs. Situ's tone was cold, and she obviously didn't think the queen was very powerful. "Don't promise things easily if you can't do it. Once you promise, you must do it.
The queen should be true to her word, instead of giving hope and disappointing people."
Situ Wan opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to say that his aunt had tried her best. However, for some reason, the resentment that didn't exist in the first place was actually evoked by her mother's words.
She thought silently that the queen had indeed failed to fulfill her promise. Although she could not be entirely blamed, why did she give her hope so early when she was not sure?
"Wan'er, please think about this." Mrs. Situ couldn't bear to push her too hard, "Didn't you say it before? Gentleness and kindness are the best disguises, and a man who can bend and stretch is the same. This sentence also applies to women.
.If you want to achieve the ultimate goal, you have to give up face."
Situ Wan looked at her blankly: "So mother also thinks that I should go and show kindness to her?"
"Wan'er." An uncomfortable look appeared on Mrs. Situ's face, "If you really don't want to go..."
"Yes." Situ Wan gently closed his eyes, not knowing whether he finally accepted his fate or became determined, "I am willing to go."
The war between her and Yun Zishu is not over yet, and it is still unclear who will win and who will lose.
Being temporarily at a disadvantage is nothing,
Situ Wan tried hard to convince himself that it was nothing. Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters.
She didn't believe that Yun Zishu could be favored forever, and she didn't believe that after the prince ascended the throne, he could stay with only one person for the rest of his life.
Expecting the noble emperor to be monogamous? What a joke.
Situ Wan took a deep breath, finally stood up, turned around and said, "Change your clothes and come with me to the Prince's Mansion."
When Mrs. Situ saw this, she was both relieved and a little uncomfortable. She felt sorry that her daughter had suffered such a great injustice and had to go to make amends with the thief.
But what can she do?
One emperor and one courtier.
The orthodox prince was found. He had no feelings for his mother and was not willing to follow the queen's arrangement to marry Wan'er. The Situ family had no ability to restrain the prince.
There was no one who could lead the troops in war, and there were no chief ministers or ministers who had the power to control the government and the opposition. If the prince was unwilling to marry, they could not force him at all.
Now we can only protect ourselves first, and then make plans slowly later.
Situ Wan changed her clothes, ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and took the two maids to the Prince's Mansion.
In the flower hall of the Prince's Mansion, the noble ladies have become lively. A burst of laughter can be heard in the distance, among which Princess Wuyang is the most lively. "The Crown Princess is the real hero among women. If you are unfaithful, I will leave you," she said.
What he said at the flower viewing banquet in the palace yesterday was really domineering, even the emperor said that he had never seen a princess who dared to divorce the prince."
"What's rare is that His Royal Highness is not angry at all, which shows that he truly loves the Crown Princess, which is really enviable."
"If I have a husband like this, what else can I ask for?" Huangfu Chuchu sighed, "If I could meet such a man in my life, I would really die without regrets."
As soon as she said this, the lady in the flower hall seemed to have made an appointment, and several pairs of eyes fell on her face.
Huangfu Chuchu frowned: "Why are you looking at me like this? Am I wrong?"
Princess Wuyang asked: "How is the little pet you raised?"
Who in the capital doesn't know that the daughter-in-law of the great general Wang raised an obedient boy? It is said that she has an extraordinary appearance and amazing talent. She is extremely obedient to Huangfu Chuchu and never violates a word.
Huangfu Chuchu frowned: "It's so good, why do you mention him?"
"I'm curious." Princess Wuyang said with a playful expression, "After all, who doesn't like a docile and beautiful little puppy?"
Huangfu Chuchu didn't say anything. Thinking of someone at home, he felt a little strange for a moment.
"Your Highness the Crown Princess." The steward came over again and respectfully reported, "The eldest daughter of the Situ family is here."
As soon as the words fell, the air became silent for a moment.
