Chapter 1094 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (two hundred and sixteen)

There are many people who want to curry favor with the powerful, but many of these aristocratic families are hesitant.

The imperial family was truly in turmoil! Four princes had passed away in the past two years, and at least 50,000 to 60,000 people were directly implicated in their deaths, completely reshuffling the power dynamics within the capital.

Once you get on the King's ship, you will prosper together and you will never be able to get off the ship.

Not getting on board might just mean maintaining the status quo, and they'd just be watching from the shore. If they got on board too early, when the boat capsized, those standing on the deck, enjoying the wind, would be the first to fall into the water.

Firstly, they feared future misfortunes, and secondly, any family that loved their daughters wouldn't be willing to marry them to Zhao Yu. Demeanor and appearance aren't just important to women. Among those who hold official positions, which one is ugly? Which one has uncouth manners?

Honestly, if Zhao Yu hadn't come from the royal family, it would have been difficult for him to rise to prominence in the court based solely on his appearance. Consort Shu and the Emperor were naturally not ugly, but Zhao Yu had no self-control, didn't enjoy exercise, loved flattery, was greedy, and indulged himself in lust, which led to him looking unapproachable.

What these officials saw in Zhao Yu was greed, weakness, and incompetence. Those traits would allow the officials to see opportunities to use Zhao Yu, but would not make them appreciate, admire, or be willing to follow him, making them bet completely on him, which made them somewhat uneasy.

They felt that it was just icing on the cake and there was no need for them to provide timely assistance. If they rushed to join in, Concubine Shu and Zhao Yu would just take it for granted. It was not worth it to take the risk and it would be better to wait a few years and make a decision based on the situation.

Even if Zhao Yu really became emperor, it would not be too late for them to select someone from their family to enter the palace.

The emperor, after suffering from illness, now always drinks health-preserving tea, drinks medicinal wine, and all the food on the table is medicinal food. In this situation, he is afraid that he will really die one day, and no longer has the fantasy that he can live another 20 or 30 years.

The Empress Dowager, in particular, had been ill for a long time after catching a cold in winter... and was entering the final stages of her life...

The emperor became more anxious as his biological mother was about to die. If he died suddenly, he would leave behind a mess. His youngest son was only a three-year-old baby. What use would he be?

If he lived another twenty years, he would definitely give the throne to his youngest son, but if he died within five years, if he had to choose a son, the one who would ascend the throne could only be Zhao Yu.

Forget about Zhao Jian, a man who is inhumane and has only one illegitimate son is not worthy of inheriting the throne.

Yes, of Zhao Jian's two concubines, the one who became pregnant first fell and gave birth to a sickly baby boy prematurely. The other one hasn't had a child yet. The baby boy has been taken to Geng Qianqian's room to be raised. The emperor was so angry at Zhao Yu's disappointing behavior that he drank two glasses of wine and, after Concubine Shu had said several kind words to her, he finally paid her some attention and gave her a way out.

However, Zhao Yu didn't pay attention to the atmosphere between his parents. He felt really wronged. As the future king, he had to marry a she-devil. He was really afraid that Guo Youbai would beat him to death in his sleep.

Guo Youbai is seventeen or eighteen years old this year, and is indeed a few years older than Zhao Yu. Now Zhao Yu says that he is still young, but it is just an excuse. After all, he already has concubines.

If you were considered too young to get married when the marriage was arranged, then why didn't you think that you were still young and should abstain from women when you were having fun with other girls?

Zhao Yu simply loved beautiful women, not women like Guo Youbai, who were even more imposing than him, had average looks, and were difficult to tell whether they were male or female. Unfortunately, his father, the emperor, and his mother rebuked him, so he could only drown his sorrows in alcohol, his face filled with displeasure.

Zhao Jian watched from the side and wanted to slap Zhao Yu a few times. He was so ungrateful! He was still in need of a concubine. If Zhao Yu was willing, he could marry Guo Youbai right away. Even if Guo Youbai was extremely ugly, as long as she was from the Guo family, he would still marry her!

People should not share the joys and sorrows of others. If Zhao Jian was not afraid of being completely forgotten by his father, he would not want to come out to meet the guests even if his father wanted to hold a banquet, especially since he couldn't bear to see Zhao Yu doing well.

Zhao Jian's heart was crawling with darkness again!

Qingli glanced casually and happened to see Zhao Jian's twisted eyes. She tilted her head and asked quietly, "Zhao Yu and the others, can they still accommodate Zhao Jian?"

Wei Ying offered his wife a piece of cake. She hadn't eaten anything tonight. He smiled and whispered in her ear, "It's just a grasshopper in autumn. Concubine Shu and Prince Ren are too lazy to do anything, fearing that they might arouse the Emperor's suspicion."

Qingli nodded. It was possible. Never mind. The royal family's bustle was none of her business.

The weather was getting warmer, and the breeze was already carrying a slight warmth. That day, Qingli went out to climb a mountain and met two unexpected people.
