Chapter 1492: Chapter 1492: The Winds Are Just Beginning

Consort Fan is known to be an overbearing and unreasonable person. She also has a son and naturally wanted her son to become the Crown Prince. But now that the Crown Prince has been established, it’s not her son, so how could she not be heartbroken?

With a turbulent heart, she lost her temper a bit. What’s the harm in that? That’s just her petty nature.

However, if she could maintain calm despite the Crown Prince not being her son, that would really make people suspicious.

Nanny Fan listened to her sophistry and didn’t expose it, but just agreed with her: "Lady, that’s about enough."

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing." Consort Fan lazily reclined on the crimson pillow embroidered with bats bearing good fortune, stroking her nails, and said softly: "The Emperor has established the Crown Prince, so the ceremony of investiture won’t be far off. The attendants around the Crown Prince must be carefully selected. Nanny, inform the people father left behind to make a move and arrange for someone capable to get in, without leaving any traces."

Nanny Fan’s eyes flickered: "So soon?"

"It must be quick. Sometimes the first wave is the most resilient under scrutiny."

Nanny Fan replied, "Lady, don’t worry."

Only then did Consort Fan close her eyes and, changing the subject, said: "Bestow some top-quality blood swallow and herbs to the Prince Mansion for Concubine Wen, to help her nourish. You know she’s been in the family for more than half a year, and there’s been no movement in her belly. Didn’t you say that before she came, her family had already rejuvenated her?"

Nanny Fan hastily said: "It’s all about fate for a child, and she’s still young. But, could it be the Princess causing issues?"

"She wouldn’t dare!" Consort Fan glared with a cold expression: "Zheng’er only has one legitimate son and one illegitimate daughter. Even when a previous illegitimate son passed away, I didn’t hold it against her. If she dares to weaken Zheng’er’s lineage, watch me deal with her."

Speaking of which, Consort Fan, still angered, continued: "You personally go to the Prince Mansion to deliver the herbs and warn her properly not to create any trouble that would inconvenience me."

"Yes."

Weiyang Palace.

Consort Hui looked at her son speechlessly and said: "Gain some sense, will you? The Crown Prince has been established, and you show no reaction?"

Prince Yan swallowed a piece of crystal-clear lychee flesh and said: "Whom to establish is father’s decision, isn’t it? Mother, once the Emperor has spoken, it can’t be changed. Besides, there’s no rush here. If there’s urgency, the eldest and the third would be more anxious, and whatever they decide to do, they’ll do it."

Consort Hui appeared frustrated: "You lack ambition, don’t you?"

Prince Yan grinned: "Oh, I do have it, but it depends on whether father grants it." He spat out a fruit pit and chuckled lightly: "Mother, don’t think too much of it. The winds have only just begun to blow."

Consort Hui: "..."

Alright, truly it’s the Emperor that doesn’t fret, while the eunuchs do.

She chose not to bring it up anymore.

"Go, then. Mother wishes to rest."

Prince Yan smiled and kneeled for farewell.

And one of the four princes, the perennial second, Prince Wu, after the palace banquet ended, watched as his brothers all headed into the harem to see their mothers, he silently wiped the corner of his eye.

Indeed, comparing oneself to others can lead to despair. A child without a mother is like grass, even feeling slighted is difficult.

Without a biological mother to cry to, only a nominal mother who might be embracing her own son crying. Better not to bother them, go back to the mansion to find the wife to vent.

The wife is his true confidante.

After Wu Princess tolerated his laments, she said: "Prince, actually this means it’s settled, there’s nothing to feel wronged about. In terms of family background, we can’t compare to Prince Xiao or Prince Zhou, and the factions are the same. If there’s competition, we’d lose to them. So the Crown Prince position, the least likely to end up with, should be us, right?"

Prince Wu: "..."

Although what you said is the truth, why does it sound even more miserable?
