"Empress Xu, the Zhen family and the Xu family have long been of the same blood. We can help each other. With the Zhen family's military power in hand and the Xu family's influence in the court, and the emperor doting on you, the position of empress will be easy to obtain."
Su Jinxiu said this with a smile, but what she was thinking in her heart was that Concubine Xu would rely on her more in the future for the sake of her position as queen. By then, she would not only be the princess of Bei'an, but also the young lady of General Anguo's mansion.
It doesn't matter if you suffer a little injustice now, as long as you can live happily and freely in the future. Thinking of the future, Su Jinxiu's expression became more respectful when facing Concubine Xu.
However, Concubine Xu was not as happy as Su Jinxiu had imagined when she was flattered. Being the queen was indeed her ideal. She could stand beside that man and look at the vastness of the world with him. But now, she is no longer the woman who only has love in her heart.
Whether it is the emperor's favor or the queen's position, they are all the result of the struggle between various parties. Even the late queen was able to be favored for many years because the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion stood behind her. Otherwise, how could the women in the harem have happiness and peace
So, I should be able to get the position of queen, right
Thinking about this, Concubine Xu suddenly felt that her previous envy of the late queen and her admiration for the emperor were all like a joke.
"Jinxiu is right. When that day comes, I will definitely thank you and the Zhen family very much."
Concubine Xu spoke with a faint smile, as if she really appreciated Su Jinxiu's kindness. In fact, only she herself knew that by the time she really ascended to the throne, the Zhen family would have already been crushed by the Xu family.
However, giving Su Jinxiu a worthless promise and letting her work hard for him and the Xu family is also a good thing, isn't it
Because of Concubine Xu's words, Su Jinxiu was completely relieved. As long as Concubine Xu had ambitions to become the queen, she would definitely help her and the Zhen family.
There is no hope for me to marry Murong Kai, so I will marry the Zhen family. My father has few children, and if his only son cannot grow up, then the Zhen family will hold the military power, and I am my father's daughter, then...
It has to be said that Su Jinxiu had a rich imagination. After knowing that she was going to marry Zhen Junran, she had already imagined a big drama and a beautiful future in her mind. By then, with the support of the Zhen family's military force, she would be a high and mighty king.
A queen of her generation.
It was for that purpose that she endured the grievances and was still willing to marry Zhen Junran after being humiliated.
She repeatedly told herself that the person she wanted to marry was not Zhen Junran, but the military power of the Zhen family.
However, for the sake of her life after marrying into the Zhen family, she still had to ask her father for help.
Concubine Xu did as Su Jinxiu wished. That evening she tactfully told her about the Zhen family's disrespect towards the princess and said that Su Jinxiu came to her to cry about her grievances.
Su Jing did not comment, just nodded lightly and changed the subject. Concubine Xu did not know what the emperor meant and did not dare to ask more. Su Jing saw that she was nervous, so he comforted her with a few words and left.
Concubine Xu tossed and turned all night, unable to figure out Su Jing's thoughts. She waited for Su Jing's reaction, but never got it. It seemed that he just listened to the humiliation of Su Jinxiu by the Zhen family, and then let it go.
Not only Concubine Xu, Su Jinxiu was also waiting for her father's statement. She knew very well that only if her father protected her and she entered the Zhen Mansion, she would be the high and mighty princess.
However, she never waited for her father to crack down on the Zhen family. When she went to ask Concubine Xu, she only got the answer that her father already knew about the matter.
No one knew who spread this news, but everyone in the palace was guessing what the emperor was thinking. The Zhen family was also inevitably at a loss when they learned of the rumor.
