The Beloved Imperial Consort Chapter 141

"What you just said, is it true?" He Lian Zhang, who was always steady and cold, was so excited that he lost his composure.

"Daughter dares not lie to father. The Great Master Head Monk personally prophesied, and His Sixth Highness was also present."

"How could you keep such an important matter hidden until now?" Since she turned ten years old, He Lian Zhang rarely spoke to He Lian Wei Rui with such a harsh tone.

"His Sixth Highness deliberately warned Wei Rui, and Wei Rui did not speak of it because the time was not yet ripe."

"Do you think that the right moment has come now?" He Lian Zhang looked at the dazzling maiden in front of him with a serious expression.

He Lian Wei Rui shook her head and sighed helplessly. "If it wasn't for the Eighth Prince's Selection, this matter could have been postponed."

Regarding the matter of the Phoenix stick, it was not the best time for her to expose it now. A few days ago, He Lian Min Min successfully obtained a special decree from the Sixth Highness. Seven scions of He Lian House had entered the Military Bureau of the capital region. With this matter settled the attitude of the He Lian House towards He Lian Min Min immediately softened, and even their grandfather had a favorable attitude towards Sir He Lian's principal wife.

On this occasion of Zong Zheng Han's Selection, if she remained silent, once she was listed in the Imperial Noble Consort's register, she would have to participate in the Hundred Flower Feast held in the palace a month later. Given her status, it would not be difficult for her to be selected. Unfortunately, the good fortune that the noblewomen in the capital sought was not a blessing for her.

To say that He Lian Wei Rui looked down on Zong Zheng Han was not entirely true. The Eighth Prince has been gaining influence in the court for the past six months. He was truly a man of exceptional talent. It was a pity that there was the Sixth Prince, Zong Zheng Lin, who was more pleasing to He Lian Wei Rui's eyes. Otherwise, the Eighth Prince's Cefei would also be a decent position.

More importantly, Mu Xi Yao's stick interpretation of the Emperor's Swallow stick was exactly the same as hers. Since wealth and power were within reach, why should she settle for less? The stick interpretation indicated that the Sixth Highness was capable of inheriting the throne, and since she had obtained the Emperor's Swallow, she should naturally return to her rightful place.

The only problem was whether He Lian House was willing to send both daughters to the Sixth Prince's household, especially since He Lian Min Lian had made a contribution to the clan. She was not a useless pawn.

Currently, the only thing that could shake the confidence of the He Lian House was the Phoenix stick in Mu Xi Yao's hand. Only by making the He Lian House believe that He Lian Min Min was incapable of handling such a heavy responsibility and that her position of Empress was likely to be taken by Mu'shi, can she smoothly enter the Sixth Prince's household and compete with Mu'shi to see who was superior.

"This matter is of great importance, and you must not mention it to anyone else. Wei Rui, wait quietly for the arrangements of the clan." He Lian Zhang waved his hand, dismissing her. The spot between his brows creased deeply.

"Yes, lord father." He Lian Wei Rui had achieved her goal and without any delay, she opened the door and left by herself.

After walking a dozen steps with her maidservant, He Lian Wei Rui's expression became solemn. "Go to see Yiniang1 later and ask her to secretly monitor and investigate father's recent whereabouts and activities. This matter is extremely important, don't be negligent." If Sir He Lian personally goes to Anguo Temple to verify the matter, then the clan's attitude would be clear.
