Chapter 726: Repeat the plan
This was what Su Chun wanted to say. Chu Feng chose to marry the eldest daughter of the Pei Family. Do they think it’s because he fancies the power of Changyuan Houfu? Naturally, it’s because of their relationship to Dongfang Mu.
But if Dongfang Mu refused to recognize that person, then what’s the use of this marriage?
“Empress Dowager, this empress also think so too, but now—” She paused, and seeing her Empress Dowager’s face looked the same, she continued talking: “Prince Jin is back in the capital. The emperor’s heart has long been unbalanced. If Feng’er’s marriage is not settled, then Feng’er, he—”
She didn’t finish saying her words, she doesn’t need to finish saying it. They were all women in the harem, what else is there not to understand?The Empress Dowager was silent and didn’t react as she wanted.
Su Chun became anxious. Now that she opened up this matter, she wanted the Empress Dowager to give her support to whatever she will plan later.
“Empress Dowager, forgive this empress for being disrespectful. Right now, Prince Jin is willing to visit you when you are ill, it’s because he doesn’t know what you did to his imperial concubine mother back then. There is no impenetrable wall in this world. This secret has been kept for a long time, but we can’t guarantee that it will not reach his ears in the future.”
The face of the Empress Dowager sank and became stiff, but then she looked at Su Chun with displeasure: “Why are you mentioning this?” This matter has passed for so many years. No one ever dared to mention this in the palace again. Even she herself had forgotten about this matter. If not because Su Chun to mention it, she will not remember it at all.
But on second thoughts, Su Chun’s words were not unreasonable. Some things will not disappear just because a long time had passed. What was done was done. No one can erase it.
She believed that she had done nothing wrong, but this was from her point of view. If Chu Yan knew about this, how would he look at it from his point of view as a son?
After a long silence, the Empress Dowager finally opened her mouth: “This marriage between this girl and Prince Jin was decided by the emperor and Dongfang Mu personally. Don’t you still know their tempers? It’s very difficult to change their mind. This time, Feng’er successfully get the emperor’s permission, it must be because the emperor knew that the eldest daughter of the Pei family was a fake. Otherwise, with the emperor’s temperament, how could he allow it?”The Empress busily replied: “What the empress dowager said is right. However, this matter has already become like this. This empress has no idea, so she came to discuss it with you.”
The Empress Dowager thought for a while and said: “It’s really difficult to make Dongfang Mu change his mind. However, Dongfang Mu must be extremely valued, this granddaughter. If this girl refuses to marry Prince Jin herself, and choose to marry Feng’er, even as a grandfather, can he refuse?”
The Empress clapped her hands inside her mind. The Empress Dowager had the same thought as her. She had used this strategy once. Although what she did was too much, the effect was very good.
Therefore, she wanted to repeat this plan.
“This empress understands. This empress asked the Empress Dowager to support me and Fenger at that time!”
The Empress Dowager nodded her head: “Alright, I will support you. You let Feng’er come in here and visit more these two days. I can see that this girl is very ghostly. She is very different from a girl of this age, and it is not so easy to deal with her. “
Su Chun thought, no matter how difficult it is to deal with her, isn’t she still a little girl who can’t fly to the sky?

Bai Zhi returned to her residence. She was about to go to bed to sleep. However, as soon as untied her outer robe, a palace maid called her outside: “Mis Bai, Master Dongfang is waiting outside the Cifu Palace, and said that he wants to see you .”
“Oh, okay, I’ll come right away.” She tied back the outer robe that she had just untied.
