The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.
Chapter 136: Thick Skin 1
The second wife gave her daughter an appreciative look and said, "Yes, Awan, how does Dalang treat you?"
The second wife understood that Zhao Zhen’s attitude was the most important. After all, Zhao Zhen was the crown prince and the future emperor, so he had the final say on who would be the queen in the future.
As for the emperor, judging from his health, he probably won’t live for many years.
The second wife was thinking in her mind some extremely treasonous words, but she only dared to think about them in her heart.
In fact, the second wife also understood Zhao Nanxiao. This man attached great importance to power.
This can be seen from the fact that among her husband's three brothers, only Zhao Nanxiao is a successful one, while the other two brothers are rather idle.
In the Zhenbei Army, the second and third masters, who were both from the Marquis' Mansion, had no status at all.
Their second and third branches did rely on the first branch for their livelihood in the past, but the resources of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion were all in the hands of the first branch.
Uncle Zhao Nanxiao is a bit humane, but not much!
Qin Wan thought of what Zhao Zhen had said before, and said uncertainly: "Zhao Zhen is quite good to me and Little Lion. Only Little Lion and I live here in Yichun Palace. He revealed before that he would convince the emperor to let me be a concubine."
The Second Madam nodded in satisfaction, "It seems that the Crown Prince still cares about you, but we can't let him decide on your status first."
"Hmm?" Qin Wan asked in confusion.
Ever since Qin Wan knew that the emperor would not allow her to become the Crown Princess, she has been thinking about taking it step by step.
The Second Madam lowered her voice and said, "Your Second Uncle came to the palace today and found out about this. He has already gone out to make arrangements. When the time comes, he will propose to make you the Crown Princess in the court."
Qin Wan: “….”
Qin Wan's heart was moved for a moment, "But I have already promised the emperor."
The Second Madam waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "Well, the Emperor is not in the right either, so he can only use the child to threaten you in private.
I guarantee that he will never dare to deny you in front of everyone. After all, you are the wife he personally chose for Dalang, and the officials in the north who followed the emperor to conquer the world all know this. "
"Awan, you have been tricked by the emperor. He did this on the day you first entered the palace. His purpose was to intimidate you!
It also intends to make you deny your status as the legal wife."
"Then I..."
The Second Madam patted Qin Wan's hand and said, "Don't worry, just be thick-skinned and pretend that you didn't agree to the emperor's request!"
Qin Wan: “….”
Qin Wan was stunned. How could this be possible?
"Second Aunt, is this inappropriate?"
The second wife assured, "There's nothing wrong. Just remember, when the emperor asks you, just keep silent and look a little miserable. You don't have to worry about anything else."
Qin Wan: “….”
Zhao Qing was stunned when she heard this, "Mom, is this okay for my sister-in-law?"
The Second Madam didn't look at her daughter, but at Qin Wan, "It hasn't been done yet, who knows what the result will be!
Now we are fighting for the first and protecting the second!
Let your second uncle do it first. He will bring it up in the court first. The emperor also has to save face! He dare not deny you in the court. Instead, he will praise you for your reputation.
Even if it doesn't work out in the end, there is still the concubine guaranteed by the prince! No loss!"
Qin Wan touched her face and realized that she could be a little thicker-skinned.
The Second Madam finally had time to look at Qin Wan. "Awan, you should dress up more often. You look good like today."
Zhao Qing also looked at Qin Wan's makeup and nodded in praise, "Sister-in-law is indeed very beautiful."
The Second Madam still had some private conversations to tell Qin Wan, so she said, "Qing'er, go see where your brother has gone. Keep an eye on him."
Zhao Qing knew that her mother wanted to get rid of her, so she stood up immediately and said, "Okay, I'll go out and look for her, sister-in-law. I'll be out first."
Qin Wan nodded, "Okay!"
After Zhao Qing left, the second wife came closer and said, "Awan, listen to me."
"Yeah!" Qin Wan responded obediently.
She knew that the Second Madam was doing this for her own good, and even though their opinions sometimes differed, she would never deny what the Second Madam said.
"Awan, when facing the prince, you need to be softer and closer. After all, he is the father of the little lion and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You can't push him away when he takes the initiative to get close to you."
Qin Wan still has that hurdle in her heart that she has not gotten over. In fact, she has already prepared herself mentally to be neglected in the harem.
She was thinking of building her own power so that she could protect the little lion in the future.
"Second Aunt, I know!"
When the Second Madam saw Qin Wan's expression, she knew that she had promised her verbally, "Awan, you have to think about it carefully. Since you took the initiative to return to Chang'an, you want to accept Dalang.
Dalang is now the crown prince, and he will have more and more women in the future. The women in the harem live on pampering. You have to capture Dalang's heart and make him fall in love with you!"
Qin Wan: “…”
Qin Wan didn't expect the Second Madam to say such things.
"Second Aunt, this may be difficult!"
"Everything depends on human effort, Awan. I know you have a strong sense of self-esteem, but sometimes you have to be soft when you need to be soft. You have to use your strengths as a woman!"
Seeing that Qin Wan was thinking seriously, the Second Lady stopped persuading her and stopped talking.
"Okay, I've been out for a while today, so I'll go back first."
Qin Wan hurriedly kept them, "Second Aunt, please have dinner before leaving!"
The Second Madam shook her head. "No, I was in a hurry today. I was thinking about going home to ask your Second Uncle about his achievements. I won't delay any longer."
Seeing how impetuous the Second Madam was, Qin Wan didn't want to keep anyone there.
Thinking of the many pieces of cloth in the storeroom, she said, "Second Aunt, I have a lot of cloth in the storeroom with beautiful patterns and colors. You can take some back and make clothes for Qing'er."
The Second Madam was not polite to Qin Wan. "Okay, make a few more and then I'll find her a husband."
Qin Wan nodded, "That's exactly the truth."
So Qin Wan took the second wife to her warehouse and selected some cloth.
The Second Lady knew that the cloth in the warehouse was all prepared by Zhao Zhen for Qin Wan, and the smile on her face never faded.
Dalang has feelings for Awan, but Awan just doesn't realize it.
In the end, the second wife left the Eastern Palace contentedly with her two children.
Song Zhirou of Yi Qiu Palace felt jealous when she learned that the second lady came to see Qin Wan.
"Mother Song, Second Aunt is too partial. I have been in the Marquis' Mansion for many years and I think I am very respectful to Second Aunt. But she came to the East Palace just to see Qin Wan, and she didn't even come to my place!"
Mother Song sighed, "Miss, the Second House has long been tied to the Qin family, and we can't pull them back.
The most urgent task now is to win back the prince's heart."
Song Zhirou remained silent.
"Miss, today is the first day we move to the East Palace. It is very important where the prince rests at night. Miss, you must dress up well."
Song Zhirou thought of Qin Wan's outfit today and ordered, "Mother Song, take out my Liuxian dress, the one my cousin once gave me."
"Okay, okay, I'll go find it right away!"
Mother Song was also very happy to see her daughter cheer up.
At this time, Zhao Zhen, who was being missed by the women in the Eastern Palace, also came out of Lizheng Hall.
Eunuch Su asked, "Your Highness, which palace are we going to?"
Zhao Zhen thought of Qin Wan and coughed softly, "I promised the eldest grandson that I would have dinner with him, so let's go to Yichun Palace!"
"Yes!"
