Chapter 211 - 210: Slapping the Green Tea Empress Dowager 27
Due to the introduction of high-yield crops, He Zhenyu’s reputation has gotten even better.
Not just among the common folks, but even Prince Kang’s subordinates strongly support He Zhenyu.
Xiao Yuan assisted He Zhenyu not only to garner reputation but also secretly conducted military training.
In the blink of an eye, several more years have passed.
He Zhenyu now has complete control over Prince Kang’s men, and most of the officials in the court have also been promoted by He Zhenyu and Xiao Yuan.
What’s more, there are quite a few of Anning’s people in the palace, one could say that if Anning is willing, she could completely render the Empress Dowager and the little Emperor deaf and blind.
Watching as Helan Zhi grew older by the day, and the little Emperor reaching the age to rule personally, Prince Kang brought up the old proposition again, mentioning that Helan Zhi should enter the palace.
Upon hearing those words, Anning laughed on the spot.
"Prince, I seem to recall saying many years ago that my Lanzhi will definitely not enter the palace. Even if I keep her with me for a lifetime, making her an old maiden, I will not let her enter the palace."
Prince Kang was very angry: "You are simply unreasonable! Others wish to send their daughters into the palace to enjoy wealth and honor, why won’t you... Besides, His Majesty has a good impression of Lanzhi, and he has mentioned to me that if Lanzhi enters the palace to become Empress, he would certainly treat her well."
Anning scoffed coldly: "Treat her well? I don’t believe these words. When the Prince married me, you also said you would treat me well, but what was the result? The Prince and I merely played the part of husband and wife for half a lifetime, and even the Prince did so, let alone the Emperor."
Prince Kang, failing to persuade Anning, became even more enraged: "His Majesty has only Lanzhi in his heart, what should we do if Lanzhi doesn’t enter the palace?"
