“Mom asked me to get a Princess Concubine when I was back in the court, and that was the Empress Dowager’s indication too. The Princess Concubine should be someone from the Yao Family, my mother and the Empress Dowager’s family clan,” Zhou Huailing said with a serious tone.
Gu Ruxue, who had been wearing a serious face, turned quite displeased hearing what was said.
She would not have interfered with this decision if she had been an ordinary girl, because the heir had to get a Princess Concubine anyway, but she was the Phoenix Girl. She would definitely not tolerate the fact that the heir was going to get a Princess Concubine!
So she, as the Phoenix Girl, was going to be ignored directly?
Zhou Huailing patted Gu Ruxue’s back, consoling him. “Don’t get mad, let me finish please.”
“…”
“Even if the Princess Concubine is going to be someone from the Yao Family, I will not spoil them. The Princess Concubines are here to add to the population of the mansion, and that is all.”
“…”
“I am telling you this today, because I want to tell you that the Empress Dowager hopes that the lady from the Yao Family can give birth to some children, so the Empress Dowager is going to support the children. However, what should happen to our children, if the Empress Dowager supports the children from the Yao Family?”
“…”
“The Yao Family is deeply-rooted in the capital, and they are not within my controlling ability. All I can do right now is to avoid sleeping with anyone from the Yao Family, and focus upon fathering our children and giving them my full support.”
“…”
“The Empress Dowager and the King are respecting you on the surface, only because you are the Phoenix Girl, but they have their own plans – they just need your title, so they are going to promise you a bright future.”
“…”
“I am telling you this today, only because I want you to stay alert. And if someone from the Yao Family is here, you can just ignore her, but don’t start any conflicts with her. She might combine forces with the Empress Dowager and work on you together. I am just an heir right now, and that is all I can do so far.”
“…”
“But Ruxue, I promise you that we don’t have to care about what the King and the Empress Dowager think. I only want children of our own, not others, got it?” Zhou Huailing said as he looked at Gu Ruxue seriously.
Gu Ruxue, who had been quite annoyed by the Empress Dowager, became pleased once again.
She was angry about the Empress Dowager and the King, because they were so calculative behind her back. She was the Phoenix Girl, so she should not be set up.
She was going to make Gu Chaoyan witness her being crowned as the Queen, and she was going to make her child become the next King! She was going to make the whole world see how Gu Ruxue was doing!
She was very touched by the heir right now. She had not expected that she was so unique inside the heir’s heart. He was defending her!
She felt so pleased.
She took hold of Zhou Huailing’s hands and said, “You are the best.”
Zhou Huailing smiled with satisfaction – this girl was touched by him, so she was going to stand by his side no matter what.
“What about your mother’s position as the Queen?” Gu Ruxue asked as she suddenly thought of it.
Honored Princess Jing was very kind to her, so she needed to show some care.
Zhou Huailing said with a serious look on his face, “Leave it to me. I will speak with my father tomorrow.”
