Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Ever since Zhao Gupan decided to go to Prince Zhan's mansion as a concubine, Zhao Jian hired a nanny to teach her the rules every day, and she couldn't go out.

However, Madam Zhao took Zhao Qingning and her aunt to the auction held by the Marquis of Wuning's Mansion. She was almost going crazy with envy when she heard the servants in the mansion excitedly talking about the lively scene of the auction, especially when she heard that Madam Zhao bought a red coral plum blossom bracelet for Zhao Qingning. She was so angry that she didn't eat for three days.

She also wanted to go to the auction and wanted the plum blossom jewelry that noble ladies had.

But as a concubine's daughter, she didn't have that opportunity.

I originally thought that I would never have the chance to get such good jewelry, but Zhao Liangchen sent me a complete set of head ornaments.

Moreover, Zhao Liangchen also said that this headdress was unique and he had specially ordered it from the Wuning Marquis Mansion.

The slight injustice in her heart was instantly replaced by being touched. She hugged the jewelry and cried as she thanked Zhao Liangchen: "Brother, thank you, you still care about me."

Zhao Liangchen smiled and said, "My sister deserves the best. You should have what others have. Well, you're going to be a bride in two days, don't cry your eyes out."

Zhao Gupan wiped away her tears and said gloomily, "She is just a concubine carried in a sedan chair, not a bride at all."

Although she chose the powerful, she was still unwilling in her heart. As a girl, she had fantasized about the grand occasion of her wedding day and looked forward to what she would look like in a red wedding dress. However, none of these concubines had such a thing, so how could she be willing?

Zhao Liangchen's expression became more serious, and he scolded, "How can you think so? Others think you are a concubine, but you can't think like that. Father has already secured a dowry for you, and he will definitely not let you be carried into Prince Zhan's mansion quietly.

You will only marry this one time in your life, so you should treat yourself as a real bride.

If you yourself look down on yourself, who will look down on you?"

Zhao Gupan bit her lip and nodded: "Brother is right, I can't see myself clearly. This is the only time in my life that I must marry off in a grand manner."

Zhao Liangchen glanced at the maids in the room, motioned them to leave, and then whispered to Zhao Gupan, "Big sister, you must listen carefully to what I'm going to say next. This concerns your future life."

Seeing how serious he was, Zhao Gupan couldn't help but become serious as well: "Brother, go ahead."

Zhao Liangchen told him that both Zhao Jian and Madam Zhao were working for Prince Liang, why she was sent to Prince Liang's mansion, and Prince Liang's ambitions.

Zhao Gupan's voice trembled with shock after hearing this: "You, you mean, father and the others are plotting a rebellion?"

Zhao Liangchen nodded solemnly: "Yes. The purpose of telling you this is that I don't want you to get involved.

The old prince is the uncle of King Liang. Even if King Liang succeeded in his rebellion, he did not come to power in a legitimate way. In order to gain the support of the old prince and other royal family members, even if you do not win over the old prince for King Liang, he will not do anything to the old prince. Instead, out of his benevolence, he will be doubly nice to the old prince.

But if you listen to your father and help King Liang win over the old prince, it won't do you much good. On the contrary, if King Liang is defeated, both you and the old prince will be labeled as traitors. Since ancient times, the crime of treason has been punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan. By then, you will not be able to survive.

So when you marry into Prince Zhan's mansion, don't do what your father says. Live a good life with the old prince, and you won't have a bad life."

Zhao Gupan couldn't digest so much information at once, and his mind was a little confused. "But, what if I don't listen to my father and he blames me? Without the support of my family, I will be looked down upon in the palace."

Zhao Liangchen: "No, father can't enter the Zhanwang Mansion. As long as you don't go out, he can't do anything to you. Of course, there may be spies from Liang Wang in the Zhanwang Mansion. If they find you, you can deal with it if you can. If you can't, tell the old prince what I said to you. The old prince has been trusted by the late emperor for so many years, which shows that he is smart and calculating. He will weigh the pros and cons himself and will definitely protect you when the time comes. If that doesn't work, you can just put on a show and make Liang Wang believe that you support him."

Zhao Gupan asked with some confusion: "But big brother, since you are also working for King Liang, don't you want King Liang to win? Why won't you let me help King Liang?"

Zhao Liangchen said earnestly, "Gu Pan, as the eldest son of the family, I can no longer avoid it. I have no choice. I naturally hope that he will win, but nothing is absolute. Prince Liang may lose. I don't want you to be involved in this power struggle. I don't want you to bear the consequences of losing. Your life was too hard before. I only hope that you will be safe and smooth in the future. Just live your life well. As for other things, don't worry about it. Even if Prince Liang loses in the future and something happens to the family, the disaster will not affect the married woman. With the old prince protecting you, you will be fine."

Zhao Gupan's heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by someone. She had used Zhao Liangchen before, and the two of them had been huddled together for warmth, but now she realized that Zhao Liangchen was really thinking about her wholeheartedly.

Her father, in order to gain fame and fortune, did not hesitate to give her to an old man as a concubine.

Her aunt did not feel sorry for her being a concubine, and was jealous of her future life of wealth and luxury.

Only Zhao Liangchen cares about whether she will live a good life in the future.

He knew clearly that if he helped King Liang win over the old prince, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort for King Liang, but for the possibility that failure would implicate her, he would rather fail and die than implicate her.

How could Zhao Gupan not be moved by this? She was so moved that she threw herself into Zhao Liangchen's arms and cried bitterly.

Zhao Liangchen patted her back gently to comfort her, and the expression on his face was indeed extremely cold: My dear sister, I hope you can be smarter and help your brother.

After Zhao Liangchen left, Zhao Gupan's aunt Zhang came. When she saw the headgear Zhao Liangchen gave her, her eyes lit up instantly and she reached out to grab it.

Zhao Gupan reached out to stop her, stared at Zhang coldly and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Zhang glared at her and asked, "What are you talking about? I'm your mother, and you have such a good thing, but you don't know how to honor me?"

Zhao Gupan said indifferently: "This is a dowry gift from my elder brother. Why should I give it to you?"

Zhang said unhappily, "It's just a set of jewelry. Why are you reluctant to give it up? Prince Zhan's mansion is rich. Once you enter the mansion, as long as you can please the old prince, you can get any jewelry he wants. Besides, your eldest brother is now the deputy commander and is much richer than before. He loves you so much, why don't you just ask him for it?"

Zhao Gupan knew that Zhang didn't love her, but when she heard that it was so natural for her to coax an old man to gain favor, a trace of sadness still rose in her heart. This was her mother.

It would have been fine if she didn't give a dowry or add any extra makeup to her marriage, but he actually wanted to take advantage of her.

She was so angry that she pushed Zhang to the ground.

Zhang was shocked and asked Zhao Gupan, "You actually hit me? I'm your mother, aren't you afraid that I'll tell your father about it?"

Zhao Gupan sneered, "Go ahead. I'll see if you dare to tell father that you are my mother. If father finds out that you actually tried to snatch the dowry gift that my eldest brother gave me, I'll see if he will blame you or me."

Zhang remained silent. She knew how much Zhao Jian cared about this marriage, so how could she dare let Zhao Jian know?

In the end, she could only leave in shame.

After she left, Zhao Jian came. His words implied that Zhao Gupan should think about her family and contribute to her family even after getting married. During the conversation, he mentioned King Liang twice, both explicitly and covertly. Zhao Gupan felt a chill in her heart when she heard it. It turned out that what her elder brother said was true.

On the day Zhao Gupan got married, there was a grand ceremony. Zhao Jian did not mind being embarrassed and made the ceremony as if Zhao Gupan was getting married as his legal wife.

Zhao Gupan was really capable of doing her best. As soon as she entered Prince Zhan's mansion, she won the favor of the old prince. He stayed with her every day. Zhao Jian was very happy when he heard the news.

Just when he was about to deliver a message to Prince Zhan's mansion and ask Zhao Gupan to speak well of Prince Liang, something happened that disrupted their plans.
