Chapter 1140: The Incident
Translator: Lonelytree
Although there were no outsiders in the Moon Palace, who could guarantee that there were no spies from other palaces?
Noble Consort Zhou was not a woman with no brains and no sense of reason. On the contrary, she was a woman with both beauty and talent, especially rational and scheming. Otherwise, she would not have been pampered for decades.
However, at this moment, she was just…
After listening to Granny Wang’s words, she took a deep breath and then said to Granny Wang, “ Granny, I am just angry. Why is that She did not do anything. As long as she was here, the Emperor’s gaze would always be on her. There was Chen Wanxin before and Chen Wanyue after. Could it be that I,
Zhou Xinyue, would never be able to compare to the two sisters?
She was obviously a beauty, but in terms of talent, how could the Chen siblings
compare to her?
However, the two sisters were able to gain the Emperor’s favor and make the Emperor pay attention to them.
Granny Wang immediately said, ” My dear Empress, you mustn’t lose your cool. You’ve endured it for so many years. You can’t give up now!”
Imperial Concubine Zhou said angrily, ” Nanny, do you know where the Emperor got this thing? It’s this. ” She pointed to the sweet potato vermicelli that was thrown on the ground. ” When he saw Chen Wanyue eat two more mouthfuls of the dish made from this, he kept putting food into her bowl. Later, he even said that as long as the imperial dish made this dish, he would ask the Empress to accompany him.
“But he only gave me this handful of black things and told me to bring it back to the Moon Palace. If I want to eat it, I’ll have to ask the imperial kitchen to make it. Granny, I am really…” She was very angry.
Granny Wang immediately understood what was going on.
It seemed that her consort was jealous.
She tried to explain, My lady, it’s been so many years. Don’t tell me you still don’t understand. Since ancient times, emperors have been heartless and passionate, and our emperor is even more so! He and the former Empress were a young couple. Later, during the fight for the throne, the former Empress died for him. No one could shake the position of the former Empress in their hearts.
“As for the current Empress, everyone knew that she was just a substitute for her sister. The Empress knew this even better. That was why, even if she treated him coldly, the Emperor fell for it.
“My lady, the emperor has been pampering you for decades. It is already very lucky. Otherwise… Your mind isn’t on this. You should be thinking about the Third Prince.”
What Granny Wang wanted to say was that if you didn’t know your place, the Emperor might change his favor at any time.
On the surface, he doted on this imperial noble consort, but in reality, it was all to balance the three forces of the imperial court.
Noble Consort Zhou knew that very well, so she had to seize the Emperor’s favor and make him happy. Only then would her son have the opportunity to ascend to the throne, and she would become the most respected empress dowager in the world.
At that time, regardless of whether it was Chen Wanxin or Chen Wanyue, they would also live their lives under her gaze. If she wanted them to live, they would live. If she wanted them to die, they would die.
Thinking of this, Noble Consort Zhou took a deep breath and said to Granny Wang, ” Granny, you’re right. To achieve great things, one must learn to endure! Therefore, I must endure it again and again. When Ye ‘er ascends to the throne one day, I won’t have to endure any more!”
As she said this, her fair hands clenched into fists.
Granny Wang said, ” It’s good that Your Highness can think it through!’
After that, Granny Wang poured a glass of water for Noble Consort Zhou and said, ” Here, Your Highness, drink a glass of water and calm down!”
After Noble Consort Zhou finished drinking, Yuwen Feiye stepped into the Moon Hall.
Seeing the mess in the hall) he frowned slightly. Then, he smiled and said, ‘
Who provoked my beautiful mother?”
Imperial Concubine Zhou had already calmed down. Hearing Yuwen Feiye’s words, she smiled and said, ” You have such a sweet mouth!”
Granny Wang looked at the two of them and said, ‘I Your Highness, this old servant will take her leave!
After Granny Wang left, Noble Consort Zhou’s expression turned serious. She asked very seriously, ” Ye ‘er, how’s the investigation of the Lin Family Village going?
Yuwen Feiye shook his head and said, ” Mother, I sent someone to investigate, but they seemed to have been obstructed. There has been no progress so far!”
Noble Consort Zhou said in surprise, ” How could this be? Mother remembers you saying that you sent people to investigate the Lin Family Village. Why is it now …” She suddenly thought of something.
She said, ” Is there any progress at Nanyuan Estate?”
Yuwen Feiye shook his head and asked, ” Mother, did you think of something?”
Imperial Concubine Zhou said, “Mother suspects that there seems to be some connection between the Nanyuan Manor and the Lin Family Village. Also, the emperor got some food from somewhere today. I suspect that it has something to do with the Lin family village.”
Yuwen Feiye was shocked. ” How is that possible?”
Noble Consort Zhou said seriously, ” How is it impossible? Ye ‘er, it looks like we have to speed up our plan. Mother is worried that a long delay will lead to more trouble!”
Yuwen Feiye replied respectfully, Yes, Mother!”
