Empress Wei told Dai Wang this many times, but it was one thing for her to say it and another for Dai Wang to do so. Nevertheless, Empress Wei was very happy. The crown prince didn’t know to come to visit her on his own initiative. She has to send someone to invite him over several times before he finally knows to make a trip.

“Zuo’er just left?” asked Dai Wang.

Empress Wei nodded and beckoned at Dai Wang for him to come to sit down. “Your eldest brother is really a sinner. He has delayed the future of a good child.”

As for what Empress Wei felt pity for, both she and Dai Wang were clear. Plus, out of all of Empress Wei’s grandchildren, she liked Zhao Zuo the most. If it wasn’t because the crown prince had been so insensible, she wouldn’t be so worried now.

The court had never ceased urging Emperor Hongjing to establish a new crown prince. Duke Weiguo was naturally anxious and urged the empress to do something. But how could the empress dictate Emperor Hongjing’s decisions? As the empress, her identity was sensitive and this matter wasn’t something she could say much about.

Duke Weiguo wants to establish Dai Wang as the new crown prince. This was perfectly logical and justifiable, but Empress Wei still values ??Zhao Zuo for her own selfish motives. After all, she had watched this grandson grow up and he was extremely filial.

Thinking of her own selfishness, Empress Wei couldn’t help but glance at Dai Wang again.

Although Dai Wang’s gaze was lowered as he pretended to be listening carefully to Empress Wei’s words, he felt her look.

His mother’s mind wasn’t deep enough. She was like a headless puppet. Whatever Father Emperor says, she follows. Although she has been an empress for decades and carried herself with dignity, she was empty inside. Naturally, he could easily understand the meaning behind his mother’s gaze.

Dai Wang sneered in his heart, but his face showed nothing. After listening to Empress Wei’s chatter for a while, he bid farewell.

After walking past the Kunning Gate, he turned his head and glanced at the Kunning Palace behind him. It seemed that his maternal grandfather would have to work harder. It was obvious that his Father Emperor had dropped the idea of skipping over his son and directly establishing Zhao Zuo as the next emperor. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have deposed the crown prince. With so many brothers eyeing the position like starving tigers, he’d be a fool to delay any longer.

Yaoniang received a message from a servant that her parents were here. She couldn’t believe her eyes.

She had just received a letter from her sister, and the letter didn’t mention anything about it. To confirm whether it was true or not, she asked Hong Chou to take a look.

This place was used by Jin Wang Manor to receive random and unimportant guests. For guests whose statuses were lower, there are several places in Jin Wang Manor to receive them. And this place happened to be one of them, just in slightly better condition. It was perfectly in line with Yaoniang’s status as a neglected concubine.

However, the Su Family couldn’t understand any of this. To them, this entire manor was luxurious. Even a room like the one they were in right now was something that only officials could live in

Zhu-shi’s eyes roamed around ever since she entered the room. As she took in the furniture made of rosewood along with the vase on the table, she could only sigh repeatedly. If only she could take them home, she’d hide them away instead of putting them up for display.

Only Yao Cheng and Huiniang looked at each other and felt something unusual. Back when they went to the Jin Wang Manor in Jinzhou, the furnishings there were on a whole different level compared to this. Could it be that something happened to Jin Wang Manor, or did something happen to Yaoniang?

Huiniang felt the latter was more likely. She desperately wanted to grab her sister and ask her what was going on and her heart was filled with anger toward Jin Wang.

Her sister had suffered so much because of him! If he mistreated her sister, she’d definitely fight with him!

As for Su Xiucai, he has always paid attention to decency, so he felt extremely disgusted to see his daughter-in-law like this. It was Su Yucheng who understood his father’s temper the best, so he hurriedly dragged Zhu-shi over to sit down.

“What are you doing!”

“What’s wrong with letting me look? My little sister-in-law is such a rich person. When Yaoniang comes, I’m going to ask her to give me all these things, so I can take them home.”

Su Yucheng was also angered by his wife’s short-sightedness, and whispered, “Give them to you? Let you take them home?”

“Yes, and I’m also going to ask her to give us some money...”

The rest of her words were blocked by Su Yucheng. As he covered her mouth, he looked at the maid standing at the door, and then at Su Xiucai’s darkened old face. Only then did Zhu-shi close her mouth.

At this moment, Yaoniang came.

She was wearing a lotus-coloured summer dress. Since it was quite old, the colour was very dull. Her hair was in a cloud bun, and the golden hairpin securing it looked very dull and used. On her pale wrist was only a single jade bracelet.

There was a young maid who didn’t have a strong sense of presence beside her. The girl looked thin, small, and especially timid.

Seeing such a scene, who would’ve thought she was an extremely favoured side consort? She didn’t even look as good as the concubine from Master He’s family.

Zhu-shi immediately felt something wasn’t quite right. Sure enough, before Yaoniang could even come to a stop, she covered her face with a handkerchief and started weeping.
