"Her Majesty will soon start to pick the next Crown Princess among the noble ladies!" There were only a few words on the note. After making sure Ming Xian'er saw them clearly, Qu Moying put back the piece of paper and nodded at her. Then she turned around and walked to the side door connecting the altar room.
She wouldn't support Ming Xian'er's unrealistic plan, but she would still offer her a way out to ease her worry.
Hearing her footsteps, the maid outside hurriedly hid.
Then she saw Qu Moying show up at the side door with her two maids, without Ming Xian'er.
Qu Moying entered the altar room again and bowed to the coffin. Then she left with her two maids.
After seeing her hint, Ming Xian'er should know what to do as a smart girl. Ji Youran must think she was only one step away from the official hostess of the Eastern Palace, so did many people. After all, she married the Crown Prince because of the Crown Princess and had such a virtuous reputation.
But what if Qu Moying secretly spread out some different rumors? They were said to be rumors, but Qu Moying believed it was the truth.
Ji Youran used every means to get rid of her to become the Crown Princess. But there was one thing she had never considered – the most significant reason why Pei Luo'an married Ji Hanyue was her father.
It was not because of his position as Earl Ling'an but the Suppressor General. Ji Yong'an, Ji Youran's father, could become the next Earl Ling'an after her father's death. Still, he couldn't possibly become the next Suppressor General. Ji Hanyue's father got the position because of his countless victories on the battlefield. He earned it with his own hard word.
Ji Hanyue's father's death embodied the decline of the Ji Family. Ji Youran thought that with her father becoming the next Earl Ling'an, she was nothing different from Ji Hanyue. But in actuality, the gap between them was enormous. Ji Hanyue was qualified to be the Crown Princess, but Ji Youran was not.
Moreover, Qu Moying wouldn't let Ji Youran's family get the earl position.
For Pei Luo'an, everything was about power and status.
No matter what he had promised Ji Youran or how he misled her, it was time for Qu Moying to destroy Ji Youran's unrealistic daydream.
Seeing Ji Youran's status was only below the Crown Prince's, everyone in the Eastern Palace must've thought Ji Youran would become the next Crown Princess. But what if some different rumors started to spread out? What if Pei Luo'an began to pick the candidates among other noble ladies, and even the empress intervened in the situation?
How could Ji Youran guarantee herself to climb up to the position of the Crown Princess?
After her arrogance was challenged, Ji Youran would not have enough energy to find Ming Xian'er trouble. After all, Ming Xian'er was just an insignificant concubine whose name couldn't even be recorded on the royal family tree. At the most, Ji Youran would just find a chance to vent her anger on Ming Xian'er.
Her main enemies would be other noble ladies, those potential candidates for the Crown Princess.
Qu Moying believed Ming Xian'er would understand it and direct the situation. If she was a useless person, the Crown Prince wouldn't bring the whole opera group into the Eastern Palace just for her.
Standing at the altar room's door, Qu Moying looked back at the spacious, solemn place and felt ironic. This was the only thing she got from her marriage with the Crown Prince – this vast, pure-white altar room. She was indeed blind in her past life...
