Spring Drunk Chang'an

Aunt Lai's expression was serious.

Her tone was also firm, as if that was what she thought in her heart.

Liu Qingru can really support the Ningguo Mansion.

"what……"

"Aunt, aunt, you, you are too..." You think highly of me, right?

Liu Qingru's crying stopped and she looked up at Aunt Lai in a daze.

She was just complaining casually, and she didn't even think about it, so how could she compare to her brother?

Otherwise, why would she act like a spoiled brat and try so hard to please Liu Wenbo? Wasn't it just so that her brother could support her in the future when she had problems?

“I may not be able to~~”

"You can do it, Qingru. Have you forgotten that the talent show is next year? You like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As long as you find a way to enter the Eastern Palace and become the Crown Princess, you will be the future Queen Mother!"

"After establishing a country, you will be the mother of all nations. When the time comes, the entire Duke's Mansion will depend on you..." Aunt Lai stroked Liu Ruqing's temples, her eyes gleaming with ambition. She whispered, "Think about the Duke Cheng'en Mansion. It was because of Empress Song that the whole family rose to prominence."

"He's a general, a duke, and his children all married into high-class families!"

"Our Qingru is no worse than Queen Song. She entered the Eastern Palace and became the Queen. You can also ask for the title of Duke for your brothers..."

"When the time comes, the Crown Prince will be the Duke of Ning, and the Second Young Master will be the Duke of Cheng'en. They'll both be Dukes in the same family, all thanks to us, Qingru..."

My daughter.

Aunt Lai's eyes lit up.

Liu Qingru was stunned, her face suddenly flushed red. She bit her lip, thinking of the handsome and cold face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, her eyes full of emerald lust, her chest full of desire.

However, after waiting for a few moments, she suddenly said in frustration: "Auntie, of course I want to marry my cousin the Crown Prince. I like him so much, but, but he doesn't like me!"

"I took the initiative so many times, but he didn't respond at all..."

Ever since her brother was beaten and she saw Xiao Chuo's tyranny and power, Liu Qingru completely lost her mind, and all her girlish longing was attached to Xiao Chuo.

Young girls are not very shrewd, and it is difficult for them to hide their love.

Liu Qingru didn't want to hide it.

She had publicly expressed her affection for Xiao Chuo. When Xiao Chuo returned to the Duke's Mansion, she was always the first to see her. When Xiao Chuo went to see Song Shi, she would also go over. She seized every opportunity to spend time with Xiao Chuo, even...

She hinted to Mrs. Lai and Mrs. Song that she loved her cousin, the Crown Prince.

Last time when Liu Xiuzhen returned home after recovering from the disaster, the mansion held a small banquet and invited the prince to attend. Liu Qingru sang the line "There are trees on the mountain and branches on the trees..." with deep emotion.

She sang.

But who doesn’t know that the following sentence is “I love you but you don’t know it”?

However, as a girl, she had already expressed her feelings to this extent, and it was impossible for her to be more explicit. However, everyone in her family could see what she was thinking, but no one said anything!

Song was obviously the prince's aunt and her biological mother, but after she sang the "Song of Longing", she acted as if she had never been to school and didn't understand what she was saying, pretending to be ignorant.

She suppressed her daughter's shyness and asked.

Mrs. Song also said, "You are the youngest daughter. You have two brothers at home. They are both unmarried. Don't be anxious. Isn't it better to be a spoiled girl for a while longer?"

"You're still young!"

Young? What do you mean by young? She's already seventeen. Those who married earlier would have become mothers. Besides, my eldest brother wants to pass the imperial examination and find a better marriage, preferably to a princess or a county magistrate. My second brother is also planning to use his marriage as a bargaining chip to find a more advantageous marriage.

How long would she have to wait for them?

Liu Qingru was extremely dissatisfied and wanted to quarrel with the Song family, but unfortunately Liu Xiu also meant the same thing.

She can only endure it!

"Auntie, my cousin the Crown Prince doesn't like me, and my father and mother won't help me. I went to ask my grandmother for help, but she also told me that 'father and son's orders are the matchmaker's words'. It's shameless for a girl to find a husband on her own."

"Can I, can I participate in next year's talent show? I'm afraid my parents won't agree..."

Liu Qingru hummed, her face flushed.

Aunt Lai held her in her arms, her face firm, "Of course, my dear, you will definitely be able to participate in the selection. I will persuade the Duke to never let anyone hinder your future!"

My daughter, for whom I risked my life, has the status of the eldest daughter and is the child of my aunt, the Queen. She is bound to rise to the top and be the center of attention.

"Auntie will do her best to help you."

"Whoever dares to stop you, I will fight her to the death!"

"Qingru, next year, you will definitely be able to enter the palace..."

"But even if I get in, Auntie, my cousin the Crown Prince doesn't like me. He's not as friendly to me as he is to that lowly servant Liu Chang'an. If I get in, he won't choose me, and Mother won't be willing to speak on my behalf in front of Auntie the Queen? What should I do?"

"Grandmother said that in next year's selection, the royal family might have already chosen Song Zhinian as the Crown Princess..."

"I can't compete with that!"

Liu Qingru snorted, tears in her eyes and deep jealousy.

She hated Song Zhinian because she had snatched her position as the future queen mother.

"It's okay. Auntie will help you. Auntie will persuade your father and teach you how to please the Queen. Use other methods to win the favor of the Crown Prince, and then..."

Aunt Lai whispered, her charming eyes narrowed, revealing a cruel light, "Qingru, even if you lose and can't become the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess, or the Crown Princess, you can always try your luck!"

In the Eastern Palace, there is one Crown Prince's Consort, one Crown Prince's Consort, and one Crown Prince's Concubine!

They are all high-ranking concubines of the Eastern Palace.

"But that's a concubine, Auntie. You want me to be a concubine?" Liu Qingru was stunned, her expression clearly showing contempt and disdain. She shook her head fiercely, "I don't want it. I don't want to be a 'curtain-opening' thing."

A comment about 'beating the curtain'.

Aunt Lai's expression twisted for a moment, and a ferocious feeling suddenly appeared in her heart. However, this was her daughter.

My own!!

A sense of sadness flowed through her heart, and she tried to persuade him kindly, "Qingru, how can the concubines of the Eastern Palace be compared with ordinary concubines? They are proper nobles of high rank."

"When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Liang Di and Liang Yuan will become the Imperial Concubine, the fourth concubine, and the most respected women in the world."

"Also... Auntie specifically asked your father. Among the girls participating in the selection next year, there are only a few who have the hope of being chosen as the Crown Princess. Among them, Song Zhinian is the most likely one. After you enter the palace, you may give it a try. If there is no hope, do your best to help Song Zhinian!"

"Help her?" Liu Qingru frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Auntie, what do you mean?"

"Why should I help her?"

"She's your cousin. Once she becomes the Crown Princess, she'll treat you well and won't be on guard against you. We also understand her methods and temper. She's the kind of person you are... If you help her, she'll definitely repay you."

Aunt Lai leaned close to Liu Qingru's ear and whispered, "If you two can enter the Eastern Palace together, you should stick to her and let her help you 'fight east and west'. When the Eastern Palace and the harem are stable, you can find a way to get rid of her..."
