Chapter 325: Are You Standing in the Wrong Position
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Grand Princess Huangfu Jiao was a beauty when she was young. When she was still a girl, she was loved by thousands of people in the royal family.
Not only was she doted on by her father, the Emperor, but her elder brother, the Crown Prince – the late Emperor, also cherished her deeply.
As a result, after marrying into the Yu family, her husband’s family rose to prominence, enjoying the limelight alongside her. She wielded great power within the Yu family, and everyone obeyed her commands.
This kind of life experience created Huangfu Jiao’s arrogant and domineering character. There was no doubt that Yu Wanqing was spoiled by her!
Now, Huangfu Jiao is 60 years old, her gaze sharp as she glanced toward Liu Shimei. She said, “Qing’er is straightforward, but she lacks tact in her speech. That has always troubled me. However, for two young girls to escalate their quarrel to a matter concerning the nation and the imperial family, isn’t it a bit excessive?”
BoxNovel.comLiang Wei was about to fly into a rage when he heard that.
Liu Shimei gently tugged his sleeve.
With this small gesture from his beloved granddaughter, Liang Wei suppressed his anger and regained his composure.
The Emperor did not ask anything. If he made a fuss, it would be a sign of contempt for the imperial power. It was already difficult to be a military general now. If he were to be blinded by the Emperor, it would probably be even more difficult in the future.
He could wait for the right moment to address the issue.
The one speaking was Crown Prince Huangfu He. His expression was calm, devoid of the anger he showed the other night, and he returned to his usual elegant demeanor as he said, “Grand Princess, your words are not accurate. Ping’an is my cousin and has grown up under our care. We understand her temperament very well. But…”
He changed the subject, saying, “Even the current princesses, my sisters, who are all raised in the imperial family, are pampered. Does that mean they can be unrestrained in their speech, casually insulting others as ‘little sl*t,’ smashing others’ doors, and breaking things, stopping just short of hitting people?” “Crown Prince.” When the Grand Princess heard Huangfu He’s words, she was very unhappy. She said, “Qing’er is only a backup candidate for the Crown Prince Consort. Are you standing in the wrong position?”
Her words meant: Are you helping Liu Shimei because you can’t figure out who your future wife will be?
But Huangfu He did not see it that way at all. What he thought was: Someone like Yu Wanqing is not worthy of becoming the Crown Prince’s Consort. If not for respect towards you and the restraint from father and mother, how could I consider her as a backup candidate? To take it a step further, even choosing Liu Yan’er would be better than choosing Yu Wanqing!
At least, Liu Yan’er was not so brainless. She was someone he could completely control. However, Yu Wanqing was different. She was arrogant, despotic, unruly, and willful. She was always pursuing her own goals without regard for others.
Ask yourself, which Crown Prince wants to marry a consort from the maternal family who can exert dominance over him?
No matter which minister’s daughter marries the Crown Prince, it is a high-class match. But Yu Wanqing is merely the granddaughter of the Grand Princess, not that significant of a match. With the Grand Princess coming forward on behalf of her granddaughter on a daily basis, won’t there be endless trouble for the imperial court?
“You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want,” Huangfu He said calmly. “If Ping’an insulted the Emperor and the nation during her dispute with someone else, could it be explained away with just her pampered upbringing?”
Having been proud for decades, Grand Princess Huangfu Jiao would never bother to consider the questions Huangfu He was thinking about.
She coldly snorted, “Are you suggesting that you’re pushing your cousin to her death?!”
