The Six Palaces have a complex relationship with the previous dynasty.
No matter which side loses, the latter who fights hard to climb up will undoubtedly benefit the most.
People said that Princess Zhan and Xuanyuan Yuchuan had a secret that could not be told, and that it was also closely related to the newly appointed Concubine Chen in Chengqian Palace.
In Chengqian Palace, it was rare for mother and her two children to sit in the same room.
They were still chatting about other things when a palace maid came to report that His Majesty had walked out of the Yanx Palace and was heading towards the Chengqian Palace.
Hu Luanfei held A Niang's hand and said earnestly, "You have been favored too much and your power has been exposed. The title of 'Chen' has caused dissatisfaction among the people in the former court and the harem. If you are too aggressive at the beginning, you may bring yourself trouble. A Niang should be careful."
Hu Cuiwei sneered, and said cruel words from her mouth: "It's better to do it openly than to do it secretly. In the past, I was tolerant everywhere, and in return I received countless swords and rains. Now that I have returned to the harem, I will definitely not be as cowardly as before. It's just that..."
There was a pause in his voice, and his expression showed hesitation.
"Mother, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Hu Cuiwei glanced at her children and said, "I'm afraid that what I do next will affect you. But I don't want to see someone else's child sit on the throne."
Hu Cuiwei immediately grabbed Xuanyuan Yuchuan's hand and said, "Chuan'er, mother had no choice but to abandon you. It's time to do something to make up for it."
Xuanyuan Yuchuan's eyes were filled with tears: "I understand what you mean, mother. Mother and son are of one bloodline, we prosper together and suffer together."
As he spoke, he considered it carefully again, "Third brother's side may not be so easy to deal with. His mother is going to give birth to a prince, which will give them an extra bargaining chip."
"Don't worry about that." Hu Luanfei was confident, "She may not be able to give birth smoothly."
"I won't allow you to have blood on your hands." Hu Cuiwei immediately spoke out to stop him, "I will do those immoral things."
"Mother, I am sure that Concubine Jin's baby is not Xuanyuan Li's. Xuanyuan Li probably knows this, but he may not want to admit it for the sake of his reputation."
"You mean..." Hu Cui frowned slightly: "Xuanyuan Li won't let the child be born?"
"After all, it's not his kind."
When several people were discussing the issue seriously, a palace servant came in from outside the corridor and announced: "Empress Chen, His Majesty is here."
Several people came to their senses in an instant and hurried out to greet them.
The person Hu Luanfei wanted to see the most right now was Xuanyuan Li. He bowed gently, and the rustling sound of the hairpin with flower petals caught his attention. He looked down at him and asked, "How did you find time to come here?"
He knew it. He knew that her restaurant couldn't be opened in Beiqiu, so she came to him for help.
"I miss my mother."
"You have something on your mind."
Hu Luanfei shook his head slightly, "No."
"Don't lie to me."
He helped A Niang up and tried to hold her hand to lead them into Chengqian Palace. A Niang calmly put down her hands, lowered her eyebrows, and turned to invite him into the palace.
The two of them walked one in front and one behind. A'niang did not hide her disgust at all and kept him at a distance.
Xuanyuan Li said in a light tone, "You are still blaming me."
"Your Majesty treats me so well, but you are so cruel to torture my two children. I cannot accept this. Luan Fei did not grow up with you and me. She has always relied on her own ability to build a family. As a mother, I can't help her, but as a father, Your Majesty can cut off her retreat." The voice gradually became lower and almost inaudible. "Don't blame the children for not liking her."
Xuanyuan Li's voice was slightly sharp: "She has not admitted that she is my child."
"I don't know who Luanfei inherited her temper from, she's as stubborn as a donkey." Hu Cuiwei felt bitter, but she had to say it, so she finally said it word by word: "I was stubborn and hurt the two children back then. Now that I'm back in the harem, I naturally want to do my best to protect them. But there are so many women in your majesty's harem, so many that I'm dazzled and frightened. Unconsciously, I feel evil again, just like I did back then, wondering if this palace wall is my final destination."
When he finished speaking, he looked up at the azure sky and said to himself, "I will never be able to fly in such a vast sky again."
"You always think so much." Xuanyuan Li sat down at the table, and the nanny ordered someone to add another set of bowls and chopsticks.
After Xuanyuan Li sat down, he motioned for the others to sit down as well. Hu Cuiwei consciously served him, serving him soup and dishes, and said, "I feel uneasy."
"You are already in a high position, what are you still afraid of?"
Hu Cuiwei's eyes wandered, as if she was joking with an old friend, and she said with a smile: "Jin Guipin is so lucky. She will give birth to a prince soon, and her status will be higher than mine."
Xuanyuan Li's eyes were carefree, but he stared at Hu Cuiwei, "If you want, you can have another child."
It sounded extremely disgusting. Hu Cuiwei suppressed her discomfort and said with a smile, "It is enough for me to have Chuan'er and Luanfei. Your Majesty should spend more time with Concubine Jin when you are free, so that she doesn't have to run to the Imperial Garden whenever she is free."
Xuanyuan Li's eyes were sharp, "Why does my beloved concubine care about Concubine Jin?"
"I heard that strange things happen frequently in the Imperial Garden, and it is close to Chengqian Palace. If something happens to Concubine Jin, wouldn't Chengqian Palace be closely related?"
Xuanyuan Li was eating the porridge in the bowl silently. Hu Luanfei, who had been silent for a long time, kicked Xuanyuan Yuchuan, who was also silent. The two looked at each other and winked at each other.
Xuanyuan Yuchuan took the opportunity to say, "Father, I did a tax calculation a few days ago and found that the taxes paid by private businesses in the past two months have been much less than in previous months."
"I know that someone in the court has reported this phenomenon. In Beiqiu City, many business owners have moved to other countries. The taxes we paid in Beiqiu in the past two months are indeed half less than in previous months. But my decree has been issued, and there is no possibility of revoking it."
Hu Luanfei knew that the situation in Beiqiu was irreversible, so he kicked Xuanyuan Yuchuan again, signaling him to speak.
Xuanyuan Yuchuan considered it carefully, glanced at Xuanyuan Li, and said softly: "Your son has a plan, I wonder if your father..."
"What do you think."
"Why don't we promulgate a policy to join Beiqiu. That is, as long as outsiders apply for Beiqiu's temporary residence permit, they can continue to do business in Beiqiu."
"Temporary residence permit?" Xuanyuan Li was surprised to hear this and glanced at Hu Luanfei unconsciously. "If I hadn't pushed you to a dead end, I wouldn't have known you had so many ideas."
The older you get, the wiser it gets. Xuanyuan Li saw through it at a glance. It was a plot that Hu Luanfei had come up with for Xuanyuan Yuchuan.
Xuanyuan Li also praised generously, "You two are indeed better than Ze'er. Chuan'er, please issue this decree. I will allow you this once."
With this support, Xuanyuan Yuchuan’s back is straighter than steel.
Beiqiu once again carried out a major reform, and another wave of changes rose. The former court and the harem suffered heavy losses again, and many officials who stood on the wrong side were eliminated. A new wave of changes rose up, and they seemed much more honest.
