Concubine Liu finished washing her hands, holding her daughter. She was completely stunned.

[I never thought my brother would scold the arrogant and haughty Fourth Prince so fiercely, and then lecture the new crown prince, Third Prince Cheng Qing, so harshly.]

[And then, Third Prince Cheng Qing, the new crown prince, seemed to have been conquered by my brother.]

[Wow, is he a masochist?]

Concubine Liu: "..."

Strange things happen every year, but this year there are especially many!

Isn't the future crown prince, Third Prince, always arrogant and overbearing? Now he has been scolded by her son, and cured of that? And he even fell for her son?

How strange.

There are all kinds of people in the world!

Concubine Liu's mouth twitched as she listened.

Xiao Chuchu was still gleefully mocking, [When my brother was scolding them, the Emperor Father was standing outside the Qianqing Palace, and heard everything.]

Concubine Liu's heart skipped a beat.

The Emperor is also a suspicious person.

After hearing this, how could he tolerate it?

Would he blame her son Cheng Qian for being too outspoken and disrespectful to his brothers?

[Unexpectedly, the more fiercely my brother scolded them inside, the more the Emperor Father outside enjoyed listening.]

[He then decided to pass the throne to my brother!]

Concubine Liu: "???"

She couldn't figure it out at all, how could there be such good news?

[The letter of crown prince was hung behind the Qianqing Palace plaque, with my brother's name on it.]

[Oh, my brother must continue to maintain this, before ascending the throne!]

Concubine Liu forgot to breathe as she listened.

[In the future, the maternal clan must also be more careful. It's difficult to be a prince's mother, and even more so to be a crown prince's mother.]

[Since ancient times, there have been many crown princes who were harmed or demoted, and their maternal clans were confiscated.]

Concubine Liu's heart was heavy again.

This path ahead is getting harder and harder.

But in the future... will she be the Empress Dowager?

Xiao Chuchu was being held by her mother, and soon noticed her mother's expression becoming increasingly strange.

Wanting to laugh but not daring to, wanting to hold it in but unable to.

Not long after, the Imperial Censor Concubine Liu's father, went to the Yan Region and happened to discover Liao King's plot to rebel, and brought him back to the capital. This news quickly spread throughout the entire palace.

Kunning Palace.

The Empress's face looked unpleasant as she looked at her mother. "Fortunately, I didn't give Concubine Liu a hard time that day at the palace banquet, otherwise the Emperor would have certainly embarrassed me."

Now she knew why the Emperor had bestowed the dishes that day.

If she had made things difficult for Concubine Liu and Madam Liu that day, she would have been in big trouble, certainly scolded by the Emperor!
