Chapter 297: Catering to His Interests
Yan Zheng's expression was slightly stiff, and then he forced a smile: "Royal sister, it has always been the rule of the royal family to establish the eldest son as the heir. Moreover, Yan Chen suffered such a heavy blow this time, it is impossible for him to compete for the throne."
"Big brother, what you said makes sense." Yan Li nodded, and did not refute his words, "Yan Chen has no hope of competing for the throne. He indulged the Kang family to cause trouble, and he is to blame. When the prime minister and general Xuan escorted the Kang family back, if they found that Yan Chen was responsible for this matter, I am afraid he will be punished."
It depends on whether the queen wants to investigate to the end.
But no matter whether he can escape in the end, Yan Chen has absolutely no hope of competing for the throne.
"Yan Jin and I are from the same mother, and he has long stated that he will not compete with me." Yan Chen's eyes sank slightly, and he looked at Yan Li steadily, "Yan Yun is the youngest and the most unstable. Although his biological mother is the noble Consort De, he is ultimately a bastard born to a concubine, and there are few supporters in the court."
Yan Li's expression was playful: "In fact, as the eldest son of the royal family, you do have a great advantage in competing for the throne."
Yan Zheng's face showed a hint of smile.
"If you can be more patient and perform better, instead of being so impatient to put all the chips in front of me, maybe you will have a better chance of winning." Yan Li sighed lightly, "It's a pity that you are too anxious."
Yan Zheng's smile froze: "Imperial sister?"
"You don't fight for the throne like this." Yan Li said this, turned around and walked towards the Shuhuang Palace, "I'm hungry, please help yourself, big brother."
Yan Zheng stood alone, staring at Yan Li's departing back, his hands hanging at his side slowly clenched, his eyes dark and unclear.
"Is this little princess who just came back so difficult to deal with? It seems that she is unyielding." Behind the rockery, a long-haired nanny came out, looking at the direction where Yan Li left with a gloomy look, "Doesn't she know what fighting for the throne means?"
Fighting for the throne means that the successful prince will sit on the throne in the future, will become the supreme master of Jin State, and means the power of life and death.
Regardless of who succeeds in the end, this person can decide the life and death of a princess.
Yan Li offended Yan Chen as soon as she came back. If she offends Yan Zheng again, won’t she worry about not having anyone to rely on in the future?
Yan Zheng turned his head and looked at her, with a sneer on his face: "She obviously knows, but she just doesn't care."
The person in front of him is surnamed Yi, Nanny Yi in the palace, the maid of the Crown Princess, who luckily escaped the incident when she was in the Crown Prince's Mansion and has been taking care of Yan Zheng and Yan Jin since she was in the Crown Prince's Mansion, and is loyal to them.
Of course, she is loyal enough to Jiang Yi later.
So after the emperor ascended the throne, she followed him directly into the palace and became a first-class maid next to the queen. When she got older, she became a nanny who taught the rules.
Nanny Yi looked at Yan Zheng, with a thoughtful look on her face: "If Your Highness has no other way, this old slave has a way to use."
Yan Zheng's eyes lit up: "Please tell me, Nanny."
"From what the princess said, it seems that she is very dissatisfied with the fact that men are superior to women." Nanny Yi pondered, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "We can please her."
"Please please her?" Yan Zheng was puzzled, "How to please her?"
Nanny Yi's expression was indifferent, as if she was talking about something very common: "Doesn't she want men and women to be equal? Men have three wives and four concubines, so let her get three husbands and four maids."
Yan Zheng's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect to hear such words: "Three husbands and four maids?"
Such a heretical thing will be scolded to death, right?
And...
Yan Zheng frowned: "She is already married."
She is married to the most powerful god of war in Mu State, Prince Nine.
If the prince knew that his princess had started to go against the norm and keep a lot of male lovers after returning to Jin, I wonder if he would be angry and send troops to attack Jin.
"What's wrong with getting married?" Nanny Yi looked normal and said as if it was a matter of course, "A man can still have several concubines after marrying a wife. She is the eldest princess of Jin, isn't it normal for her to have several male lovers?"
This is her right to ask for it, isn't it?
At that time, it depends on whether she can handle it and whether she is willing to endure the attacks and abuses of the world.
It's better to cry and say that she is wrong and won't make those unrealistic demands again.
Yan Zheng was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly.
Do the opposite?
Since she hates male superiority and female inferiority, let her experience the feeling of role reversal, but I don't know if she can bear it.
Facts have proved that Yan Li can still bear it.
After having dinner with Jiang Yi in Shuhuang Palace, she and Ling Ning returned to Zhaoyang Palace. Among the many palace servants kneeling and paying respects, Yan Li saw two beautiful young eunuchs who were specially selected.
In addition to being surprised, Yan Li couldn't help but linger on their faces for a moment.
"How old are you two?"
The two young eunuchs knelt down, with thin bodies and soft faces, and they bowed their heads very docilely and replied: "Your Highness, I am ten years old."
"I am sixteen."
Yan Li walked to the couch and sat down: "Name."
"I am Jinluo."
"I am Mingyue."
Yan Li looked at the two of them with interest, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his eyes showed some deep thoughts: "Jinluo is half cut, Mingyue is in his arms... Tsk, the name is special."
After the voice fell, the two young eunuchs blushed and lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
It seems that she was right.
These two eunuchs were indeed sent here on purpose.
But no matter how beautiful they are, what can two castrated eunuchs do?
Can it be considered a test at best?
Yan Li's mouth flashed a hint of mockery, and his eyes turned slightly to look at the palace servants kneeling behind them. They were all people who had just been selected and transferred by the harem steward nanny, and they would become members of the Princess's Mansion in the future.
"Your Highness, the Princess." Yun Si walked in and knelt down to salute Yan Li, followed by a fair-faced nanny, "This is Nanny Pan, an old man in the palace, who is deeply trusted by the Queen. She will serve you in the future and discipline these palace servants for Your Highness."
Nanny Pan stepped forward and knelt down to salute: "This old servant greets Your Highness, the Princess."
"No need to be polite." Yan Li said calmly, "Nanny Pan, do you know where Jinluo and Mingyue came from?"
Nanny Pan lowered her eyebrows and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, the Princess, they were selected by Nanny Yi, who said that they are beautiful and caring, and the Princess is happy to see them."
