Chapter 2410 The maid who can’t help herself 15

Although the Imperial Concubine Zhou heard from her spy at the Third Prince's Mansion that An Ran was so beautiful that she was so beautiful to the whole country, the Imperial Concubine Zhou was not worried about how An Ran would influence her son, because he was not only from a very low background, but was also someone else's concubine. , with such a background, in the eyes of Concubine Zhou Huang, she must rely entirely on her son's favor to live her life, and she will definitely flatter her son honestly. There is no need to worry that a woman with such a background can climb over her son and make her son work for her. Dizzy.

Because she did not take An Ran seriously, even if the concubine she gave to her son reported that her son liked that woman very much, Concubine Zhou was not worried, because she felt that An Ran's room for improvement was limited, and no matter how much her son liked her, she would not be able to do so. Whatever happened to her, she was just a little favored at most. The concubine (eyeliner) she gave her said that, just because she was jealous because she saw that woman stealing her favor. She had seen this kind of little thinking many times in the palace. Don’t know yet?

Thinking like this, she naturally would not take the eyeliner's words to heart, let alone teach An Ran a lesson just because the eyeliner said this to her.

Imperial Concubine Zhou was thinking that her son was new to An Ran now, and it would be fine once the newness wore off. Why should she be that evil person and go to teach others a lesson, only to make her son unhappy.

Imperial Concubine Zhou dotes on her son very much. As long as no big issues happen on principle, her son is basically happy, so naturally she won't do anything to displease her son's happiness.

Concubine Zhou's performance made the concubine, the spy, very anxious. After all, what she said was true. His Highness really dotes on that woman, even more than His Majesty dotes on the empress. Ever since she entered the palace, she has been doting on her. I have never found anyone else before looking for her. Why doesn’t the empress believe what she says?

Si Yan was told that of course he would not look for those three women, because not only were those three women inferior to An Ran's stunning appearance, but they were also inferior to him, so why should he wrong himself and look for those three women? Before An Ran entered the house, he didn't look for them very much. What's more, now that he has a stunning beauty in his arms, he will naturally not wrong himself and look for the worse instead of the best.

Of course, Concubine Zhou didn't know what her son was thinking, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care about it for the time being. Unless her son always liked An Ran, she might be anxious.

Besides, a big event happened in the palace soon, and Concubine Zhou didn't have time to pay attention to An Ran's situation.

This major event was none other than the support of the Cheng'en Palace. The Queen Mother passed away after a long illness that did not improve. She had to deal with the changes and competition among the forces in the palace after the Queen Mother left, so naturally she did not care about her son. A small situation on the side.

But not long after An Ran arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion, news came from the palace that the Queen Mother had passed away. This news was also within An Ran's expectation, because the original body had it in his memory.

The death of the Queen Mother marks the decline of a power (Cheng'en Duke's Mansion). As a result, in a short period of time, there will be no more prosperous foreign relatives' power. The more prosperous foreign relatives' power will have to wait a while - the princes Whoever succeeds to the throne, and whoever he marries as queen after succeeding, will be the new influence of the foreign relatives. Of course, to really rise, it depends on who will be the queen mother's natal family in the future.

At present, the family of Concubine Zhou is also very prosperous, and the emperor has also given many benefits to Concubine Zhou's family. However, because the emperor's real power is limited - otherwise he would not have the powerful Wang family - even if he wants to give more benefits to Concubine Zhou's family, He couldn't give it, and in the end he was only granted the title of earl. The title of marquis that he wanted to give was not approved by the court.

Because the imperial court prevented it, although the Zhou family was prosperous, its status was still a bit lower. It was not that powerful. It can only be said that although it was prosperous, it was not strong.

Therefore, since the death of the Queen Mother, the larger influence of the relatives has been eliminated.

Concubine Zhou Huang is busy working in the palace right now, just because she wants to become the queen.

The problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has existed since ancient times, and it is the same in the palace.

Concubine Zhou Huang has wanted to ascend to the throne before, but she has never succeeded. The reason is also very simple. The Queen Mother does not like her. She thinks the same as the outsiders. She thinks she is a demon concubine and is obsessed with her son. This Let her naturally not like it.

Because he didn't like it, the emperor wanted to make Concubine Zhou the queen, but the Queen Mother had always opposed it. The emperor did not dare to disobey his mother's wishes, lest he be scolded for being unfilial. Therefore, although he doted on Concubine Zhou, he failed to help her make her the queen. queen.

Of course, it is not only because of the opposition of the Queen Mother, but also the opposition of the former ministers. Otherwise, if the Emperor is in power, he will not be afraid that if he disobeys his mother, he will be labeled as unfilial. , mainly due to the obstruction of the former ministers.

Although it was unsuccessful, because the previous dynasties and the harem were opposed to it, it successfully aroused the emperor's rebellious psychology - the less he was allowed to be nice to the imperial concubine Zhou, the better the emperor would be to the imperial concubine Zhou. In this way, he could express himself implicitly. of protest.

But An Ran knew that Concubine Zhou Huang did not succeed.

Although she was just a little concubine in the backyard of Duke Chengen's house, she didn't know much about it. She didn't know about Emperor Zhou's wish to ascend to the throne as the queen - this matter was still investigated by An Ran himself, and the occasional news from the subordinates of the third prince's house. She knew it during the conversation - but she did not have the memory of Concubine Zhou becoming the queen, which meant that Concubine Zhou failed to succeed in becoming the queen.

This is also normal.

Concubine Zhou Huang thought that the reason why she could not become a queen was the Queen Mother. In fact, the main factor was not here at all, but the opposition of the former ministers.

Concubine Zhou Huangguo had a very beautiful idea. She felt that if she became the queen, her natal family would be able to take a step forward and become the new most prosperous and most prestigious relative. At the same time, her son would successfully become the legitimate son, and then your majesty would be able to designate him as his eldest son. The prince.

However, what she can think of can’t be thought of by the former minister? Many ministers of the previous dynasty - mainly the Wang family - invested in people other than the third prince. In this way, how could she be allowed to become the queen? Then the third prince would automatically become the legitimate son, giving the third prince a legal right to succeed to the throne. Sex, in that case, how can the person they invest in become the emperor?

Therefore, out of this consideration, it is impossible to let her become the queen, so that her son, the third prince, will have a greater chance of becoming emperor.

Concubine Zhou Huang thought that the pressure on her not to be a queen came from the Queen Mother. Now that the Queen Mother had passed away, she had a chance to ascend to the throne, but she was fundamentally wrong.

From this point, An Ran knew that Concubine Zhou's mind was like that. It was no wonder that she and her son had a bad reputation outside. The two of them, as well as the Zhou family, were completely powerless and incompetent. What could happen to those who were capable? Maybe he and his son would get such a bad reputation outside.

Of course, it was mainly because of the cunning ministers of the previous dynasty. As far as she knew, these people were attracted by the Zhou family and wanted to make the Zhou emperor's concubine the queen. Although they did not want to help the Zhou family, they did not dare to openly offend Jian Zai's heart. The Zhou family never said that they did not support Concubine Zhou. They only used the Queen Mother as a shield, saying that the Queen Mother did not agree and that they could not disobey her wishes. This made those in the Zhou family think that she was really the Queen Mother. Because of this, he was very angry with the Queen Mother.
