Time Travel: The actress's acting skills exploded, and she was favored by the harem
Chapter 272 The Queen Mother’s Thoughts
"You now have your own power and ideas, and you may not be willing to listen to me. Go back and think about it carefully. If you have figured it out, keep a low profile in the future and keep your position as a concubine. Who knows, you may be able to get promoted in the future."
"If you feel that you have grown up and don't need to rely on me, I won't restrict you. From now on, you don't have to come to Renshou Palace anymore. You and I, aunt and nephew, should just live our own lives!"
After Queen Mother Zhao finished speaking, she stopped looking at her and signaled Nanny Wang to send the guest away.
Concubine Zhao had no choice but to bow and leave.
After returning to Yuquan Palace, Concubine Zhao touched the shawl that Queen Mother Zhao had given her when she got married with red eyes and cried, "Aunt... it was you who persuaded me to come here to restrain the Queen, but now that things have turned out like this, you persuaded me to be content... You, the Bo family, have really made me suffer..."
"Master, you can't say these words..." Dai Tao hurriedly supported Concubine Zhao and advised.
"Dai Tao, you have followed me for so many years. What do you think of what your aunt said just now?" Concubine Zhao felt very disappointed.
"I have seen how the Empress Dowager treats the master. She must have her reasons and difficulties for giving such orders. I think that even if the master is obedient and lies dormant for a while, he must not lose the Empress Dowager, who is like a big tree!" Dai Tao advised.
Dai Tao knew her master's ability too well, so how could she dare to persuade her to start her own business?
In fact, seeing this now, Dai Tao knows very well in her mind that her master is indeed not qualified to sit on the throne.
If one attempts to take a position by force without being worthy of it, not only will he be unable to keep it, but his life will also be in danger.
But everyone is greedy, so how could Concubine Zhao accept her fate so easily?
"Master, don't think too much. In fact, you may not be unable to win." Dai Tao gritted his teeth.
There were still tears on Concubine Zhao's face. Hearing this, she couldn't help but look up at Dai Tao: "Now that things have come to this, how can we win?"
"You may not be able to compete with them in other areas, but your greatest advantage is your status as a member of the Zhao family. With the Queen Mother as your relationship and the eldest prince, as long as you live peacefully and survive them, you will naturally have many opportunities..."
"If you don't listen to the Empress Dowager and lose this relationship, you're bound to do something wrong one day, which might implicate the eldest prince and the Zhao family. I'm shallow, but now I think the Empress Dowager probably meant the same thing." Dai Tao said.
Dai Tao said this with a guilty conscience. Translated, it meant that Concubine Zhao should take good care of herself, stop being a demon, and live a good life, so as to outlive the Queen, Shen Zhiyao and the others.
This is how the harem is. It doesn’t matter if you’re not favored. As long as your position is high enough and you live long enough, you might be able to “pick up something good”.
Of course, it all depends on luck.
Concubine Zhao may not understand all this in her heart, but what can she do?
"Haha, Dai Tao, you're right... I can't beat them, so I might as well just live peacefully from now on. If there are any benefits, I'll just take them quietly."
"I want to see how far the Queen and Jin Shuyi can go..." Concubine Zhao said gritting her teeth.
She tightly grasped the shawl that she had always treasured, leaving marks on it...
In Renshou Palace, Queen Mother Zhao sighed repeatedly as she thought of her decisiveness just now.
Since she got old, she has become more and more concerned about the blood ties between her relatives, and is less decisive than she used to be.
"Alas, this time, if Yuhan can really listen to me, I plan to help her get in touch with Jin Shuyi. Even if we can't say they can get closer in the future, at least they shouldn't be so hostile to each other like enemies. It's good if they can save face." Queen Mother Zhao said, holding her forehead.
"Empress Jin Shuyi is a smart person. It would be a good thing if our Imperial Concubine could live in peace with her," said Nanny Wang.
"Yes, after fighting for so many years, I have seen through it all. How can a flower stay red for a hundred days? How many years can one be favored? It is the most unreliable nothingness. It is much more difficult to gain the trust of the emperor and the empress than to gain their love, but the emperor and the empress both trust Jin Shuyi..."
"Jin Shuyi's personality is rare, and she doesn't rely entirely on her family for support. She is capable and powerful, and she can coax people. Naturally, she will be able to protect her children in the future. Such a person, let alone in the current harem, I'm afraid there has never been such a person in the history of Zhao State. At least I have never seen such a woman in my life."
Queen Mother Zhao actually laughed as she spoke.
"There is no shortage of women in the harem who follow the emperor, but Jin Shuyi dares to challenge everyone for her own interests. She dares to compete with others in horse riding and archery for the honor of her family. She dares to turn the emperor's face to show her position. She dares to beat the imperial concubine who is higher in rank than her for the queen..."
"I have figured it out. Faced with such a woman, if it had been ten years earlier, I would have really wanted to fight her to the death. But now, I am old and have accepted it..." Queen Mother Zhao sighed.
Queen Mother Zhao had no idea that Shen Zhiyao was a highly educated film queen from modern times. How could they possibly compete with her?
"But Jin Shuyi is also pregnant. If she gives birth to a prince, doesn't she have any selfish motives? Doesn't she want to support her child to ascend to the throne?" Nanny Wang was full of dissatisfaction.
"Humph, everyone has selfish desires. However, this woman is smart and stable. She just watched others move and fight. Moreover, she was willing to help the queen. As the saying goes, not fighting is the greatest fight. I won that way too."
"So, I still hope Yu Han can be more open-minded and stop acting rashly, lest she end up seeking death." said Queen Mother Zhao.
"Master? Have you really given up this time? What about the Zhao family..." Nanny Wang asked softly.
"In the early years, I was very ambitious and had high hopes for the eldest prince. But look at what this child, who is less than five years old, did? He dared to murder his own mother so hastily? Does he look like a person who can be the future crown prince of Zhao Kingdom? He really doesn't have that potential..."
"My son has been working hard to manage the country of Zhao. I cannot force him to hand over the country to an incompetent and unjust crown prince for the sake of the Zhao family's selfish interests. Although I am old, I must not be confused about this important matter."
"I understand. My master is righteous." Nanny Wang bowed.
Queen Dowager Zhao picked up the Buddhist beads on the table and started to play with them, and stopped talking.
The last straw that broke the camel's back for Queen Dowager Zhao was not actually Bo Muxi's determination, nor the power of the Queen and Shen Zhiyao combined.
But after the eldest prince ordered his personal eunuch to murder the queen but failed, Queen Dowager Zhao removed the filter, carefully examined the eldest prince, and thoroughly saw the sadness that he would never achieve great things.
Although Queen Dowager Zhao was a woman, she had a broad mind for her country and the world. What she could not tolerate most was that the prince she had personally promoted might destroy the country and people of the Great Zhao Kingdom.
The Bo family has more than one choice of the eldest prince. Those princes are all her grandsons and have her blood. Why should she make herself infamous for eternity?
Queen Mother Zhao has finally come to terms with it. She has worked hard all her life and now it's time for her to enjoy a peaceful life. Why should she care about so many things?
No matter who becomes the crown prince, shouldn't he respect and be filial to the mother? Why must he create a rift between the mother and the son?
