Chapter 775 Paying respects to the Crown Princess!
Consort Luo, the concubine of the Ming King, was naturally the same person as Consort Luo.
Princess Ming's health is gradually improving, and although she has not yet reclaimed her power to manage the household, it is likely that this will happen in the near future.
The thought that Princess Ming's health had only gradually improved after Mu Xin Nuan had given her a hint filled her with indescribable anger.
Now that a princess has come to marry into the country, who else could be more suitable than her?
To strike at Mu Xinnuan, one must start with her happy marriage.
The thought of having other women share her exclusive favor filled Consort Luo with a strange sense of excitement.
Of course, whether she and Princess Nali can form an alliance depends on what Princess Nali is really thinking.
If she is interested in Duanmu Chuze, then her subsequent plans will undoubtedly proceed smoothly.
But if she doesn't want to marry Duanmu Chuze at all, then I'll have to put in some effort.
Consort Luo thought of the fourth prince she had met yesterday and his hints. It seemed that he also hoped that his sister could marry Duanmu Chuze as a concubine.
This is exactly the result she wanted.
Mu Xin Nuan is the pride of the Mu family. After years of silence, the Mu family has finally been able to hold its head high again because of the emergence of such a capable daughter.
Although only Mu Chang'an of the Mu family can be considered a pillar of the court, in reality, the next generation of the Mu family are all extraordinary individuals.
Once Mu Xin Nuan becomes Empress, then I, as a concubine of the Ming Prince's Mansion, will probably have no chance of advancement.
Therefore, while the Emperor is still in good health, it would be better to make a move on Mu Xin Nuan first.
Even if we can't take her life, at least we can make her life miserable.
That's how people are.
Having enjoyed good times for too long, this sudden change in circumstances could easily lead to illness.
Consort Luo has always maintained a place in Prince Ming's mansion over the years, because she is good at reading people and understands her own status in the mansion.
As a concubine, she always managed to maintain her composure and clear head in front of Prince Ming.
Whether she was favored or disappointed, she never showed it too obviously, which was why she was valued by the wise king.
But all of this was based on the fact that Princess Ming was bedridden.
Princess Ming's health was naturally inextricably linked to her.
However, she was also very clever and did not directly administer a strong medicine, which would cause the Princess Consort of Ming to die and then make everyone focus their suspicions on her.
In any case, Princess Ming can no longer have children, the heir of the Ming Prince's Mansion has not yet been established, and the young master under her own name has now been granted the title of Prince. No matter how you look at it, her future is excellent.
She absolutely would not allow anyone to disrupt all of this, not even Mu Xin Nuan or the Princess Consort Ming.
No matter who crosses her bottom line, she will not hesitate to retaliate.
In fact, if Mu Xin Nuan hadn't interfered, it would have been perfectly normal for the Ming Princess, who had been seriously ill for a long time, to pass away. But then Mu Xin Nuan suddenly appeared!
She had planned and schemed for many years, but in the end, all her efforts were in vain. No matter what, she would not let Mu Xin Nuan gain even the slightest benefit!
"How is Princess Nali's health? I heard you were ill, so I came to visit you. Is it because you're new to our Great Yong and experiencing some discomfort due to the change in environment?"
"Thank you for your concern, Princess Ming."
Consort Luo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Princess, you just misspoke. I am not the Princess Consort of Ming, but the Consort of Ming."
Nali suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and her expression became somewhat awkward.
"It's alright, this is very normal in our Great Yong. Although I am a concubine, I still have a rank and a monthly stipend. This is different from the concubines of ordinary people."
"Yes, thank you for not blaming me, Consort Luo."
"Speaking of which, there are really not many princes left in our Great Yong now. There are two princes who are getting old and living far away in their fiefdoms. Moreover, in the next generation, the title of prince will become a regular prince, no longer considered a prince. The nobility of their status will naturally be reduced by another level. Now in Great Yong, there are only our prince and His Highness the Crown Prince."
Consort Luo keenly noticed that Princess Nali's eyes lit up when she mentioned His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Since Princess Nali has come here for a political marriage and has been here for several days, has she found a suitable candidate?"
Princess Nali bit her lip lightly. Although she was a Turk, she knew that most women in Dayong were gentle and mild-mannered, so she naturally wouldn't act particularly generous.
"Why is the princess so shy? Men should marry when they come of age, and women should marry when they come of age. Now that the princess has come to our Dayong, she should choose a suitable person."
"Please don't make fun of me, Consort Luo."
"How could it be mockery?" Consort Luo smiled and took her hand, carefully examining her beautiful face.
"The princess is so beautiful, and as a princess of the Turks, ordinary men are naturally unworthy of her. However, our royal family of Dayong is currently in a somewhat awkward position. If you had come six months earlier, perhaps Prince An would have been able to win your favor."
Princess Nali lowered her head slightly and said softly, "I'm afraid this matter should be decided by my brother."
"Alright, I ran into your fourth prince yesterday. He said you're unfamiliar with this place and asked me to come over and keep you company when I have time. I think he's quite satisfied with our Crown Prince."
Of course I'm satisfied!
What could Jimo possibly be dissatisfied with as the crown prince of Dayong?
In fact, their purpose in coming here was to hope that Nali would use her beauty to seduce Duanmu Chuze, and then find a way to steal some important information from the border.
For several days in a row, His Highness the Crown Prince was busy with state affairs, and as a woman and a guest, Nali naturally could not freely enter or leave the Eastern Palace.
The Crown Prince doesn't leave the palace, and Nali can't enter. How can the two of them meet?
If you can't meet in person, how can you seduce someone?
All in all, it was really troublesome on top of trouble.
Therefore, out of necessity, Jimo hinted to Consort Luo.
Of course, he had also inquired beforehand that Consort Luo and Mu Xin Nuan weren't exactly on good terms. Given that, making things difficult for Mu Xin Nuan was something she would probably be happy to do.
"Your Highness looks quite well today. Get up and get dressed. I'll take you for a walk in the East Palace. The back garden there is full of blooming flowers. I'm afraid you'll get so engrossed in it that you won't want to leave."
