Being favored by the paranoid master, the whole imperial capital kneels down

The Queen already had a candidate for the Crown Princess in mind.

Although this candidate for the Crown Princess was not the one the Queen was most satisfied with.

But it is the most appropriate one at the moment.

That is Wen Qingqin, the daughter of General Zhenbei.

General Zhenbei is stationed in the northern border all year round and holds the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops.

If Wen Qingqin could become the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince would take control of General Zhenbei's army of hundreds of thousands.

This is extremely beneficial for the prince to seize power from Yama Palace.

Of course, the queen was most satisfied with Nan Chuzheng.

But Nan Chuzheng was willing to degenerate and had an affair with the chief of Yama Division.

The Queen cannot deal with Yama Luosi now, but one day the imperial power will return to her and her son.

Queen Wang rejected Old Lady Wang.

Old Lady Wang came out of Queen Wang's bedroom angrily.

Wang Lanzhi was waiting outside the bedroom.

Her pretty face was full of anticipation, and she was just waiting for Old Lady Wang to go in and talk to Queen Wang so that she could be invited in to see Queen Wang.

Seeing her grandmother coming out, Wang Lanzhi immediately stepped forward.

"Grandma, has the date been set?"

"I haven't seen my aunt for a long time. I want to go in and see her."

Old Lady Wang snorted coldly.

"She's the queen now, so how can we just see her whenever we want?"

Old Lady Wang spoke in a loud voice, as if she was deliberately speaking to Queen Wang.

She knew that Queen Wang's bedroom was full of spies and ears.

Old Lady Wang said deliberately,

"A person can't fight alone. He needs the support of a reliable family to keep his position secure."

"I don't know what some people are thinking. Their own family members don't help them, but instead they side with outsiders."

As Old Lady Wang spoke, she pulled Wang Lanzhi towards the palace gate.

Wang Lanzhi was a bit dull by nature and hadn't understood the meaning behind what Old Lady Wang said.

She shook off Mrs. Wang's hand and said with dissatisfaction on her face,

"Grandma, aren't we here to see my aunt?"

"I don't want to leave. I haven't seen my aunt yet."

Ever since she climbed onto the prince's bed when she was a child, Queen Wang no longer allowed her to enter the palace at will.

For so many years, Wang Lanzhi's dream was to enter the Eastern Palace and become the Crown Princess.

Later, Chu Jingyue took Wang Lanzhi's place and regarded herself as the Crown Princess all day long.

She also often goes out with the prince.

Wang Lanzhi was sad for a year or two.

After waiting for a long time for Chu Jingyue to enter the Eastern Palace, she turned out to be just a concubine of the Eastern Palace.

Wang Lanzhi's ambition gradually rekindled.

The reason she was able to enter the palace today was because she pestered her grandmother and father, wanting them to use their relationship with Queen Wang to make her the Crown Princess.

As a result, before she even saw her aunt, her grandmother was about to take her away from the palace.

Of course Wang Lanzhi refused to agree.

She was angry with Old Lady Wang in the palace.

"Grandma, didn't you explain the interests involved to my aunt?"

"Aunt is our relative. How could she help outsiders and not our Wang family?"

Old Lady Wang's face turned ugly, and she grabbed Wang Lanzhi's hand again.

"Your aunt wants to find a more powerful princess for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Come back with me quickly and don't make a fuss here. I'll discuss this with your father after we get back."

After hearing this, Wang Lanzhi's face turned pale.

After returning to the Wang family, Old Lady Wang and Wang Lanzhi's father locked themselves in the room and discussed things for most of the day.

I only heard Wang Erge say loudly inside,

"Before she entered the palace, which of us didn't hold her in our hands and treat her like a treasure?"

"Now she is so high and mighty that she wants to kick our Wang family away."

"Is she thinking too much?"

Brother Wang Er couldn't accept it at all.

If it is said that the prince was infatuated with Chu Jingyue before, he had said several times in person that he wanted Chu Jingyue to be the crown princess.

In this case, the Wang family would be fine. At worst, she could ask for a concubine position in the Eastern Palace in the future.

Now Chu Jingyue and Bai Luoluo both have low status in the East Palace.

Then the Wang family certainly has a chance to fight for it.

But Queen Wang still didn't help them.

Old Lady Wang's face was heavy.

"If she helps us talk to the Crown Prince, it would be fine even if he refuses to agree."

"But she turned me down right away."

Wang Erge walked back and forth in the study, and finally Wang Erge lowered his voice and said,

"It seems that if our Wang family wants to have another queen, we can't rely on her anymore."

Recently, Brother Wang lost a lot of money gambling.

He was desperate for some money to cover his gambling debt.

If Wang Lanzhi could become the Crown Princess, the people in the casino would at least give him some face and lend him some capital to turn his life around.

Old Lady Wang asked, "What's your trick?"

The Wang family has been living in increasingly tight circumstances these years.

They are the queen's maternal family, and actually receive a lot of silver and money every year.

But everyone in the Wang family is very good at spending money.

But because they have no power, they have no other ways to make money.

Wang Erge said, "Why don't we go find the wife of Yanluo Si? I heard that the wife of Yanluo Si and Chu Jingyue from the East Palace used to have a bad relationship."

After saying that, Brother Wang Er whispered a few words into Old Lady Wang's ear.

Old Mrs. Wang thought her second son was very smart and immediately nodded in agreement.

On the second day, Old Lady Wang took Wang Lanzhi to the South Residence in the name of visiting Lady Yama.

It was a rare opportunity for Nan Chuzheng to let Old Lady Wang and Wang Lanzhi into the Nan residence.

After hearing the purpose of Mrs. Wang's visit, Nan Chuzheng's gaze fell on the large stack of banknotes that Mrs. Wang placed in front of her.

Nan Chuzheng smiled for a while and said, "I know the Wang family is in trouble, so you should take back Old Madam Wang's banknotes."

Her eyes fell on Wang Lanzhi again.

Wang Lanzhi has been looking at Nan Chuzheng boldly.

Nan Chuzheng is indeed very beautiful, no wonder Chu Jingyue has been targeting her for so many years.

It’s a pity that Nan Chuzheng could have married anyone else but the vicious and evil Lord of Yama Division who has no good reputation at all.

Wang Lanzhi's gaze fell on Nan Chuzheng's slightly bulging belly again.

She averted her eyes.

Nan Chuzheng smiled and said to Madam Wang,

"Since you have come to me with such sincerity, I will do this for you."

Nan Chuzheng said it so lightly that both Old Lady Wang and Wang Lanzhi couldn't believe it.

What they want is nothing else but the position of Crown Princess.

Can Nan Chuzheng do it for them just because she says so?

As a result, the next day, when the Wang family was racking their brains to find a solution.

The imperial edict came down.

The people of the Wang family hurriedly knelt down to receive the imperial edict, but the content of the edict surprised them.

Emperor Bai Jing unexpectedly appointed Wang Lanzhi as the Crown Princess...
