Time passed quickly afterward. Six years seemed to have gone by in the blink of an eye.
Six years later, Crown Prince Zhou Ti came of age and left the palace to establish his own residence. At the same time, the Second Prince and the Third Prince will also come of age after the New Year and will soon leave the palace as well.
The princes gradually came of age, one after another. Zhou Hao was now twelve years old. He had grown very tall, and his features, due to his perpetually serious demeanor, gave him a somewhat aloof and handsome appearance.
At the same time, Yan Fei was already fifteen years old. Although he no longer had the natural masculinity, his handsome features had a delicate and exquisite beauty. Many palace maids couldn’t help but steal glances at him when they met him.
However, as the princes grew up, their relationships were no longer the same as when they were children.
Everyone wanted to sit in the highest position. Although the Emperor had already designated a crown prince, even his younger sister, Mu Yunge, knew that although her brother was hardworking, his indecisive nature and fondness for flattery made him unsuitable for the position.
The Second Prince’s maternal family was Prime Minister Qin’s family. Prime Minister Qin naturally hoped his grandson would ascend the throne.
Of course, besides Prime Minister Qin, the other princes also had powerful maternal families supporting them.
Only Zhou Hao had no backing, and coupled with his consistently mediocre performance from childhood, everyone naturally excluded him from the list of contenders for the throne.
But Mu Yunge knew that everything Zhou Hao was showing was just an act.
However, not only Mu Yunge knew this, but Zi Ling also knew it!
However, how could Zhou Hao, who could ascend the throne without any maternal family support, be simple?!
Under the protagonist’s halo, Zi Ling only stayed in the laundry department for a year before becoming a palace maid under a concubine due to her excellent embroidery skills.
In the following five years, she first established herself by the concubine’s side, then quickly built relationships with other eunuchs and palace maids, and continued to get in touch with Zhou Hao.
She wanted to be the emperor’s woman, so she couldn’t give up!
If she couldn’t get close to the Ninth Princess, she’d at least get close to Zhou Hao!
No matter what, she was determined to become the woman who would win the heart of the future emperor!
As for the Ninth Princess, in her past life, she had caused her to be tortured to death by that perverted eunuch, and this time, she had caused her to be sent to the laundry department. She would avenge this sooner or later!
Thinking that in another month the palace scandal would be exposed, Zi Ling clenched her fist, a cold smile appearing on her lips.
This scandal not only involved Qi Xi, the eunuch serving the Ninth Princess, but was also rumored to implicate the Crown Prince and the Third Prince!
Less than half a year after Consort Yi was given a death sentence, the Crown Prince was deposed by the Emperor for several misdeeds!
The Third Prince, who was originally to be enfeoffed as a Qinwang1亲王, qīnwáng: First-Rank Prince. “Prince of the Blood”; usually the Emperor’s sons (other than the Crown Prince) or brothers. , was reduced to a Junwang2郡王, jùnwáng: Second-Rank Prince, County Prince. “Commandery Prince”; typically, the sons of a Qinwang or awarded to high-ranking officials for extraordinary merit. , and his status was greatly reduced.
She didn’t know exactly what had happened, but the decline in the Crown Prince and the Third Prince’s status was related to the upcoming palace scandal!
…
Meanwhile, inside a side hall of Weiyang Palace, Mu Yunge lay lazily on a chaise lounge, eating an orange that Yan Fei had fed her.
The ten-year-old girl already possessed a stunning beauty that would later captivate the world. Her eyes were exceptionally clever and lively. Furthermore, Mu Yunge’s body proportions had been perfectly adjusted by the system, so she would definitely not grow up to be ugly.
