The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 399
The eldest princess slowly sat down on the rose soft chair, fiddled with the exquisite armor on her hands with downcast eyes, and replied casually: "Although you grew up in the deep palace, you are not familiar with world affairs at all. Is there anything more important than a family relationship?"

As she spoke, the eldest princess slowly raised her head, looked at Qingluan with a shocked and ignorant expression, and continued indifferently: "This is the benefit."

"As the saying goes, everyone in the world is for profit, and the aristocratic family puts the family's interests first. You should understand this."

Qingluan looked at the eldest princess in shock, and replied in an unbelievable tone: "Aunt Huang, I am the flesh and blood of the Duke's family, and my mother and concubine died for the Duke's family. I don't believe my grandmother would be so cruel. Abandon me in disregard, and I don't believe that my cousin would be so irresponsible."

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess sighed slightly and said, "Qingluan, in vain you are still a child who grew up in the whirlpool of power, but you can't see the word 'benefit' at all."

"Aunt, let me ask you, why did your mother and concubine enter the palace?"

Qingluan quickly replied: "Of course my mother and concubine entered the palace for the future of the Duke's family. I heard that he already has someone he likes. She didn't want to enter the palace, but my grandfather wanted to let her Helping the Queen's Aunt to keep her pet, that's why I forced her into the palace, but in the end it ended up in an unsatisfactory end, Aunt Huang, my mother and concubine died for the sake of the Duke's house, how could the Duke's house?"

Before she could finish speaking, the eldest princess interrupted in a cold voice: "Back then, the old man even sacrificed his own daughter for the benefit of the government. Why can't the government sacrifice you now?"

When Qingluan heard this, she felt like being struck by an electric shock. She murmured in fear: "I don't believe it, my grandmother won't ignore me, and my cousin can't be so irresponsible."

The eldest princess replied: "Of course the old lady loves you, but between you and the interests of the government, which one do you think she will choose? As for Boyue, you know in your heart that Shu'er is his favorite. It's just a brother-sister relationship, but you have touched his bottom line again and again. He has already let him down to you. To tell you the truth, it was Boyue who asked the government to sever ties with you. .”

Upon hearing this, Qingluan burst into tears.

This time, she really cried.

The eldest princess glanced at Qingluan, and continued: "Don't blame the old lady and Bo Yue, no matter how much the old lady loves you, she can't ignore the future of her own children and grandchildren. I will not disregard the honor and disgrace of the government for you."

The words of the eldest princess made Qingluan's hopes completely vanish. She leaned on the bed weakly and murmured to herself: "I just want to marry my cousin and live with him for the rest of my life. I don't want to marry you." The other request is only such a thought, how can it be related to the rise and fall of the government?"

The eldest princess replied: "Since you are a princess, you should understand that your marriage is not only related to yourself, but also related to the court and society."

Seeing Qingluan's confused face, the Eldest Princess continued: "You have been raised under Empress Cao's lap since you were young, and now Prince Tang and Jin Wang Tang are already fighting for the reserve position. If you don’t want to participate in this party struggle, if Boyue favors you, wouldn’t you be openly expressing your support for the prince?”

"So, Boyue won't marry you, and the Duke's government wants to sever ties with you in order to protect itself."

Although Qingluan is not a transparent person, she is not stupid either. The princess's speech really enlightened her, and the fiery thoughts that had been thinking about Li Ling in her heart were completely extinguished by this basin of cold water.

She was not favored by Emperor Ming, and she did not have the protection of her biological mother. If she lost the support of Duke Zhen's mansion, what hope would she have in the future.

Now, Qingluan was so frightened that she wanted to cry that she couldn't cry anymore, and begged the eldest princess hard: "Auntie, I will stop making trouble, please beg for me in front of grandma, I won't marry Cousin is gone, isn't it?"

When the eldest princess came out of Yilan Hall, she happened to meet Emperor Ming who had heard the news.

When Emperor Ming saw the eldest princess, he stretched his neck subconsciously and looked into the hall, and asked, "Did elder sister come here specially for Qingluan?"

The eldest princess nodded and said yes.

Emperor Ming sighed and said: "This child is too stubborn. The empress and I persuaded her earnestly, but she just refused to listen. I can't help but watch her die from a hunger strike. That's why the empress invited the old lady to marry her." Come into the palace to persuade her."

The eldest princess is a vengeful person, and she is still brooding over the absurd things that Empress Cao did before. Now when Emperor Ming mentioned Empress Cao, her face darkened, and she snorted coldly: "That woman of Cao's heart is full of evil intentions!" , I wish the world would be in chaos, hmph! It would have been better if she hadn't intervened in this matter."

Emperor Ming knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he hurriedly said: "Elder Sister finally went to the palace, let's not mention these annoying things, I have a good snow top Hancui there, let's go, let's drink tea together .”

The Eldest Princess and the Emperor Ming went side by side towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation of the Emperor Ming. As soon as the two of them stepped into the hall, Concubine Meng came out with a smile on her face, and warmly greeted the Eldest Princess: "Long time no see Eldest sister, I am very worried, I just heard that elder sister has entered the palace, and I am here to wait for elder sister, elder sister will not blame me for being reckless."

Empress Cao disliked the eldest princess, and the concubine Meng Gui, who was born as a dancer and had a sweet belly, made the eldest princess look down on her even more.

The eldest princess didn't even look at Concubine Meng Gui, but said coldly to Emperor Ming: "Now you really don't pay attention to me as elder sister, and you actually teamed up with a bitch to trick me. "

Concubine Meng was ashamed by the unceremonious words of the Eldest Princess, her loving eyes immediately filled with tears, she stood there helplessly, and looked at Emperor Ming who was at the side.

Seeing that the concubine was being bullied by the elder sister, Emperor Ming hurriedly pulled Concubine Meng Gui behind him, and said to the eldest princess, "I know that elder sister is very temperamental, but now that we are all at this age, why do you still fight with Meng Guifei?" I can't get over it, Meng Shi has always respected her elder sister, why not elder sister?"

"Does this palace need a slut to respect me? What a joke!" The eldest princess hated Emperor Ming and Si Ni the most, she flicked her sleeves and turned away before Emperor Ming finished talking.

The eldest aunt of Zhen Guogong's mansion was the person who had the most temper with the eldest princess at the beginning, and the two aunts and sisters-in-law had a deep relationship.At the beginning, the Meng family provoked and framed her in every possible way, which caused the empress to be divorced and the eldest aunt to die in depression.

The eldest princess has always had a clear distinction between love and hate. Although the sea has changed, she has always kept this hatred in her heart. If it was not for the sake of Emperor Ming's protection in every possible way, the eldest princess would even wish to kill the Meng family to avenge her sister-in-law Axian. Because of Meng Shi's deliberate flattery, he gave her a good face.
