”Your Majesty, how is the Crown Prince? He is already seventeen. According to the rules, he should be electing as the Crown Prince's consort.” The matter that the Minister of Rites had mentioned was related to the continuation of the Royal Family of the Nation of China. Zhu Jianshen was neither able to refute nor refute it.

”What your beloved servant said is extremely true. We will hand this matter over to the Ministry of Rites and the Sect Mansion to handle. As for the empress dowager, I'll go speak with her myself. ”

What else could the Crown Prince say? [Can you say that royal father won't succeed? I am a woman, so I don't want to waste the life of the crown prince's consort.]

”Cousin, I'm already old. Shouldn't you tell uncle that you should marry me?” As a princess, Zhou Yiru had always been a doting person, but Zhu Youtang didn't think that his daughter's worries would become even more intense.

”Ming He, you have always known that the Royal Family does not allow such a marriage. It's not right that you should have such thoughts about me. ” The crown prince didn't know what he should say to this cousin of his. His own identity and awkwardness couldn't give Zhou Yiru the happiness he wanted.

”Cousin, can you not feel the feelings I have for you all these years?” If you're worried about my identity, I won't be the daughter of the Zhou family. As long as you agree to it, I can change my name. I just want to marry my cousin. ”

”Cousin, do you have my secrets in your heart? Otherwise, why would you personally choose a hairpin that would last until the age of 15?” Zhou Yiru was like a drowning person that was tightly hugging onto the only piece of floating wood, not letting go.

Pulling Zhou Yiru's hand that was grabbing her sleeve, Zhu Youtang didn't know how to tell Zhou Yiru his identity and her little thoughts of hiding it.

A girl who can't be old is always longing for something that doesn't belong to her. Therefore, the Crown Prince was especially attentive when it came to selecting gifts that would make Zhou Yiru reach the age of thirty. Not only is it a sincere blessing to my cousin, but it also has its own helplessness.

However, how could the Crown Prince dare to tell his cousin, who he doted on ever since he was young, about such selfish thoughts?

”Yu Li is not suitable, similarly, he only treats you as his younger sister. Ming He, you should know your cousin.” Not looking at Zhou Yiru's injured expression, Zhu Youtang hardened her heart and turned to leave. She just let Zhou Yiru cry behind her without turning back.

”Aunty, I can't stand being treated like this anymore. I want to tell you the truth.” Cai Xiang and Cai He were the two people who knew Zhu Youtang's true identity, and were also people who personally managed Zhu Youtang's daily life.

All of these things were to ensure that no one knew Zhu Youtang's true identity. This was so that Zhu Youtang could continue to live on. But now, the crown prince was getting married, and Princess Ming He had to confess. Under the oppression of these two things, Zhu Youtang's guilt reached its peak.

was reluctant to let a child whom he doted on be taken care of like a little sister get hurt.

”Your Highness, don't you think that the Empress doesn't care about your master?” Wan is still alive, do you really want to give up on revenge? ” Cai Xiang had always been the most rational person and it was only because of Cai Xiang that Eastern Palace was safe and sound these past few years.

Cai Xiang wouldn't allow her own master to give up after so many years of hard work. ”Could it be that Your Highness has forgotten the teachings of his ancestors, or that Your Highness doesn't know how cruel imperial guards and East Factory are.”

From up to down, the crime of deceiving the monarch was enough for the emperor to cut all 103 people in the Eastern Palace, including the crippled empress of West Palace and the few female members of the Ji Family.

The price was too high. Furthermore, the Princess Huiqing was not a person who did not know the seriousness of their situation. She would not break off relations with Zhu Youtang just for her daughter. Your Highness, the bigger the better. ”The princess has always been sensible, but this time she will be the same as well. She will definitely understand that the prince is just an elder brother.”

This kind of self-deception was what Zhu Youtang needed the most right now. Cai Xiang's life by Former Empress Wu's side was not lived in vain.

”You have done well in this matter, unless the crown prince has already ascended the throne and the Wan is dead. Otherwise, to us, every step of the way is still dangerous. ”

After hearing Cai Xiang's words, the Former Empress Wu thought about the current situation.

”The selection of the Crown Princess must be done, and it must be done in a grand way. If the Wan does not act in disorder, then it means that our fire is not big enough, so we must definitely connect this matter of choosing a concubine with the Wan. ”

After getting rid of the Wan, Zhu Youtang also had his own princess consort, and even the position of emperor was already his.

”This servant understands. This servant will do it right away.”

After thinking for a moment, Former Empress Wu dragged someone to say something before Cai Xiang left, ”There's no need for the crown prince of Princess Huiqing to come out, let me do it.”

The Former Empress Wu had his own plans. Princess Ming He was the daughter of the Princess Huiqing. Zhou Yiru only wanted to marry the crown prince because of their childhood sweetheart, and because the crown prince doted on and doted on Zhou Yiru.

Thus, if the princess were to find out that the crown prince had rejected her request, she would only feel disgraced. As the mother of Princess Huiqing, she would definitely be angry at her own daughter for being disliked by the crown prince.

However, if this matter wasn't brought up by the crown prince and he asked his aunt to look after his cousin, but rather by the dignified former empress, things would turn for the better.

”Aunt, greetings to Aunt.”

Princess Huiqing waved her hand, indicating that Zhu Youtang did not need to stand on ceremony.

”Your cousin didn't know better and gave you trouble. Auntie is feeling bad.” I will take care of this matter. You should know your cousin's willfulness as well. It won't happen again. ”
