Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Zhu Yushi Mansion.

As the weather got colder, Zhu Yiyi and Aunt Xue hid in the house and talked in private. Aunt Xue said worriedly, "The eldest lady knows everything about the palace!"

Zhu Yiyi used her slender fingers to draw her eyebrows, "Aunt, what do you think of my eyebrow shape?"

When she met the Crown Princess that day, she was also stunned by her stunning beauty. No wonder the Crown Prince doted on her so much. Her demeanor was truly as noble as that of the Queen. She tried to draw the same eyebrow shape, but always felt it was too ostentatious.

She thought to herself: The prince should like pretty girls from small and beautiful families. The way he looked at her that day, she felt that he would like her.

There was one thing she was sure of, that was the Crown Prince liked smart women, and the Crown Princess was the daughter of the Grand Tutor. She had sent people to secretly inquire about this, but could not find out anything. She only knew that Jiang Fenghua had been well-read since childhood.

Jiang Fenghua also has a high reputation among the people. She shows her kind side in front of the prince, which shows that the prince likes kind and simple-minded women, and she cannot be too eager for quick success.

Aunt Xue looked at it for a moment and said, "It looks good, but what is the eldest lady's plan now?"

Zhu Yiyi said calmly, "What else can I do? Of course I have to wait for the emperor to pass away and the prince to ascend the throne, and then I can slowly make plans in the future."

Aunt Xue said, "I didn't expect the second young lady to be so clever. She managed to escape this disaster. It may be difficult for the eldest young lady to enter the palace. Even if the crown prince ascends the throne and selects concubines, our family will not have a quota. There is no precedent in all dynasties. The eldest young lady should have seized the opportunity..."

"At that time, the Queen specifically asked for the legitimate daughter of the Zhu family, and we tried our best to squeeze in." Her status as a concubine's daughter restricted her a lot.

She said, "Aunt, what my daughter is anxious about now is not the quota, but the prince's love. Even if I get the quota, what's the use if the prince doesn't like my daughter? Look at those ladies in the East Palace. They have all entered the palace. Does the prince really like them?"

Aunt Xue nodded, "That's right. If a man doesn't pay attention to a woman, nothing he does will work."

Zhu Yiyi went to the eldest lady's courtyard to pay her respects again. The eldest lady had been ill recently and had been bedridden. Ever since she received the secret message from Nanny Liu, she had been disgusted with Zhu Yiyi to death.

Zhu Yiyi walked into the house slowly and bowed respectfully, "My daughter greets my mother."

Madam Zhu glanced at her. She had a gentle temperament, clear eyes, and was pure and lovely. "Why is the eldest lady here?"

"My daughter made some pear paste for my mother. The doctor said it can cure her cough." Zhu Yiyi's eyes were full of sincerity.

Mrs. Zhu, however, lost her patience and pushed the bowl away. It was not known whether Zhu Yiyi deliberately did not hold it firmly or Mrs. Zhu really pushed too hard, but the porcelain bowl fell to the ground and the pear paste spilled all over the floor.

Zhu Yiyi said softly, "Mother must have misunderstood Yiyi. If mother doesn't believe Yiyi, I will ask father to arrange a marriage for Yiyi. If you marry me off, I won't go to the palace to snatch my sister's husband."

Her voice was soft and weak. She had known for a long time that her father would never marry her off at this time. She was his best daughter.

Madam Zhu then looked at her seriously, "Fortunately Zhenzhen was smart and didn't give the medicine herself, otherwise the young lady who suddenly died today would be Zhenzhen. When you gave the medicine to Zhenzhen, didn't you think of this step?"

Zhu Yiyi knelt on the ground and swore, "The heaven and earth can bear witness, the sun and the moon can shine, if Yiyi has such a heart, Yiyi will not die a good death."

Mrs. Zhu was stunned and moved.

Zhu Yiyi continued, "Yiyi really wants to help sister Zhen. Mother knows father's temper. If Zhenzhen can't get pregnant, father will be even more disappointed in her. Yiyi also thought of a solution that is not a solution. She thought that as long as Zhenzhen seizes the opportunity to be favored by the prince, she will have a chance to get pregnant. I am thinking about Zhen'er."

Madam Zhu thought that maybe Madam Liu was worrying too much. What Zhu Yiyi gave Zhen'er was only the love-enhancing powder for men and women, not poison to murder the prince. If Zhen'er could succeed, wouldn't things be good for her?

"Get up!" Madam Zhu said again, "It's not your fault. I know that ever since Zhenzhen had a miscarriage, the master has been unhappy and has been blaming Zhenzhen, so he wanted you to enter the palace as well."

"Yiyi doesn't want to enter the palace." Zhu Yiyi retreated to advance. She knew that once Madam Zhu was on guard against her, she, as a concubine's daughter, would have few opportunities to attend palace banquets. But if she was accompanied by the madam, she would have more opportunities in the future.

"As long as Zhenzhen can be favored by the prince again and bear a royal heir, you don't have to enter the palace." Mrs. Zhu said directly.

Zhu Yiyi clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves and thought to herself: That's why she can't let Zhu Zhenzhen give birth to a royal heir so easily and block her way.

"Sister Zhen is so smart and beautiful, she will definitely be liked by the prince again." She said in a gentle voice, and it seemed that she was going to force her father to make a decision early.

"Please let mother decide Yiyi's marriage." Zhu Yiyi said again.

Madam Zhu frowned, "If the master doesn't agree, I can't arrange a marriage for you privately. Wait a little longer! The emperor is seriously ill, and the master is serving in the palace every day and has not returned. When he comes back, I will talk to your father and I will definitely choose a man who is a good match for our Zhu family for you."

"Thank you, mother." Zhu Yiyi said.

Unexpectedly, Censor Zhu just returned home to change clothes and take a bath. Mrs. Zhu came to find him after receiving the letter.

At this time, Zhu Yushi's new concubine was helping him take a bath in the room. The concubine was also sensible and knew how to make the master happy, but Madam Zhu disturbed his fun and scolded her.

Madam Zhu was not afraid that he would send the concubine away directly, and said in a deep voice, "I am the mistress of the house. I always have to worry about the marriages of the young ladies in the mansion to act like a mistress. Zhenzhen is already married, and Yiyi is sixteen years old. It's time for her to get married. When the master is not at home all day, I am in charge of all the affairs of the mansion..."

"You think that if you marry Yiyi off as soon as possible, I won't let her enter the palace, and then no one will snatch your daughter's wealth and honor, right?" Censor Zhu said sternly, "She can't get the wealth and honor, what can I do? Should we let our Zhu family be hated by the prince like her?"

"I think you are just a short-sighted woman in the harem. You are not ashamed to teach your daughter like this." Zhu Yushi was merciless when he insulted people. "You are not an official in the court, so you don't know how fierce the competition is. The daughter of Minister Tang entered the palace and now gave birth to a little boy. Even the Song family, who are not officials in Kyoto, their daughter entered the palace and gave birth to a little boy. Do you know what kind of wealth and honor will be waiting for them in the future? Foolish and ignorant woman... Zhenzhen needs Yiyi's help now, don't you know this?"

Mrs. Zhu couldn't utter a single word. Even so, Zhenzhen was still her flesh and blood. If she didn't love her, who would?

Only after Madam Zhu left did Censor Zhu feel that he should let Yi Yi enter the palace as soon as possible. Zhu Zhenzhen was only fourteen years old when she entered the palace. Now two years have passed, the two daughters are sixteen years old, and the Crown Princess is pregnant. Now is the time for Yi Yi to seize the opportunity.

The emperor's health has reached its limit. Once he passes away, the Zhou Dynasty will welcome a new emperor to the throne and the whole country will celebrate. The new emperor will definitely hold another beauty contest.

Censor Zhu had his own plans in mind, and Zhu Yiyi was also thinking about how to see the prince again. Last time, she just showed up in front of him and didn't get involved too much.
