Chapter 297: Catering to His Interests

Yan Zheng's expression froze slightly, and then he forced a smile: "Royal sister, the eldest son is the heir since ancient times. Besides, Yan Chen suffered such a heavy blow this time, it is impossible for him to compete for the throne."

"Brother, what you said makes sense." Yan Li nodded, and did not refute his words, "Yan Chen has no hope of competing for the throne. He indulged the Kang family to cause trouble, and he is to blame. When the prime minister and general Xuan escort the Kang family back, if they find that Yan Chen is too responsible in this matter, I am afraid he will not be able to avoid being punished."

It depends on whether the queen wants to investigate to the end.

But no matter whether he can escape in the end, Yan Chen has absolutely no hope of competing for the throne.

"Yan Jin and I are from the same mother, and he has long stated that he will not compete with me." Yan Chen's eyes sank slightly, and he looked at Yan Li steadily, "Yan Yun is the youngest and the most unstable. Although his biological mother is the noble Consort De, he is also a concubine's son, and he has few supporters in the court."

Yan Li's expression was playful: "In fact, as the eldest son of the royal family, you do have a great advantage in competing for the throne."

Yan Zheng smiled.

"If you can be more patient and perform better, instead of being so impatient to put all the chips in front of me, you may have a better chance of winning." Yan Li sighed lightly, "It's a pity that you are too anxious."

Yan Zheng's smile froze: "Imperial sister?"

"That's not how you compete for the throne." Yan Li said this, turned around and walked towards the direction of Shuhuang Palace, "I'm hungry, please help yourself, big brother."

Yan Zheng stood alone, staring at Yan Li's departing back, his hands hanging by his side slowly clenched, his eyes dark and unclear.

"Is this little princess who just came back so difficult to deal with? She seems to be unyielding." Behind the rockery, an elderly nanny came out and looked at the direction where Yan Li left with a gloomy look, "Doesn't she know what it means to compete for the throne?"

Competing for the throne means that the successful prince will sit on the throne in the future and become the supreme master of Jin State, which means the power of life and death.

No matter who is the final winner, this person can decide the life and death of a princess.

Yan Li offended Yan Chen as soon as she came back. If she offended Yan Zheng again, wouldn't she worry about not having anyone to rely on in the future?

Yan Zheng turned his head and looked at her, with a sneer on his face: "She obviously knows, but she just doesn't think so."

The person in front of him was surnamed Yi, Nanny Yi in the palace, the dowry maid of the Crown Princess, who had luckily escaped the incident that year. She had taken care of Yan Zheng and Yan Jin since the Crown Prince's Mansion and was loyal to them.

Of course, he was also loyal enough to Jiang Yi later.

That's why she followed the emperor into the palace and became a first-class maid beside the queen after he ascended the throne. When she got older, she became a nanny who taught the rules.

Nanny Yi looked at Yan Zheng, and a trace of deep thought appeared on her face: "If your highness has no other way, this old slave has a way to use."

Yan Zheng's eyes lit up: "Madame, please speak."

"Just now, I heard what the princess said, it seems that she is very dissatisfied with the fact that men are superior to women." Nanny Yi pondered, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "We can cater to her preferences."

"Catering to her preferences?" Yan Zheng was puzzled, "How to cater to her preferences?"

Nanny Yi's expression was indifferent, as if she was talking about something very ordinary: "Doesn't she want equality between men and women? Men can have three wives and four concubines, so let her also have three husbands and four maids."

Yan Zheng's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect to hear such words: "Three husbands and four maids?"

Such a heretical thing will be scolded to death, right?

And...

Yan Zheng frowned: "She is already married."

She is married to the most powerful god of war in Mu State, Prince Nine.

If that prince knew that his princess had gone astray after returning to Jin and had kept many male lovers, I wonder if he would be angry and send troops to attack Jin.

"What's wrong with getting married?" Nanny Yi looked normal, and said as if it was a matter of course, "A man can still have several concubines after marrying a wife. She is the eldest princess of Jin, so isn't it normal for her to have several male lovers?"

This is her right to ask for it, isn't it?

At that time, it depends on whether she can handle it and whether she is willing to endure the attacks and abuses of the world.

It would be better to cry and say that she was wrong and not to make those unrealistic demands again.

Yan Zheng was silent for a long time before he slowly nodded.

Do the opposite?

Since she hates male superiority and female inferiority, let her experience the feeling of role reversal, but I don't know if she can bear it.

Facts have proved that Yan Li can still bear it.

After having dinner with Jiang Yi in Shuhuang Palace, she and Ling Ning returned to Zhaoyang Palace. Among the many palace servants kneeling on the ground to pay their respects, Yan Li saw two beautiful young eunuchs who were specially selected.

Surprised, Yan Li couldn't help but keep her eyes on their faces for a moment.

"How old are you two?"

The two young eunuchs knelt on the ground, with thin bodies and soft faces, and bowed their heads very meekly and replied: "Your Highness, the Princess, I am fifteen."

"I am sixteen."

Yan Li walked to the couch and sat down: "Name."

"My name is Jin Luo."

"My name is Ming Yue."

Yan Li looked at the two with interest, her eyebrows slightly raised, and her eyes showed some deep thoughts: "Jin Luo is half cut, Ming Yue is in my arms... Tsk, the name is special."

As soon as the voice fell, the two young eunuchs blushed and lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

It seems that she was right.

These two young eunuchs were indeed sent here deliberately.

But no matter how beautiful they are, what can two castrated eunuchs do?

It can only be considered a test at most?

A hint of mockery flashed across Yan Li's lips, and his eyes turned slightly to look at the palace servants kneeling on the ground behind them. They were all people who had just been selected and transferred by the harem manager, and they would become members of the Princess's Mansion in the future.

"Your Highness the Princess." Yun Si walked in and knelt down to salute Yan Li, followed by a fair-faced nanny, "This is Nanny Pan, an old man in the palace, who is deeply trusted by the Queen. She will serve you in the future and discipline these palace servants for Your Highness."

Nanny Pan stepped forward and knelt down to salute: "This old servant greets Your Highness the Princess."

"No need to be polite." Yan Li said calmly, "Nanny Pan, do you know where Jinluo and Mingyue came from?"

Nanny Pan lowered her eyebrows and said, "Reporting to Your Highness the Princess, they were selected by Nanny Yi. She said they are beautiful and caring. The Princess is happy to see them and is in a good mood."
