I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I don't give up

Chapter 14 "Poisonous Scheme"?
Changchun Palace fell into deathly silence again.

"So I'm caught in a dilemma now. I can't suppress it for long, and it will hurt our mother-son relationship. But I can't just let him go. Chunlai, you have been in the palace for many years and have experienced many ups and downs. You have been loyal to your work and have managed the palace in perfect order. I wonder if there is any good plan to resolve this situation?" Finally, it was Concubine Liu who spoke to break the silence.

"You are too kind, my lady. I am not worthy of your praise. All the affairs in the palace are due to your advice. I am just running errands." Yu Chunlai put his attitude very low. "But I still have some superficial opinions on the young prince's affairs."

"Come on, Chunlai, tell me in detail."

"Since we can neither suppress it nor obey it, we might as well delay it." Yu Chunlai said calmly.

"Delay? I've thought of that, but Xuan'er is like possessed and won't listen to anything else. Look, he just had an argument with me this morning and ran into the Gongzheng Office again this afternoon. Is there any way to delay him?"

"I have a method that may be effective, but." Yu Chunlai suddenly looked at Liu Yourong behind Concubine Liu, "Miss Yourong, please step aside first."

Liu Yourong didn't expect that the conversation would still focus on her, and she looked at Yu Chunlai with a confused look on her face.

"Yourong and I have a relationship like mother and daughter. She is a person I trust. You can speak freely to me, eunuch." Concubine Liu grabbed Liu Yourong who was trying to avoid me.

"Yes, sir. Before I entered the palace, I had a family and children. Later, my family suffered misfortunes and my wife died. I entered the palace when I was completely hopeless." Yu Chunlai said slowly, with no expression of sadness or joy on his face.

After hearing this, Concubine Liu's expression changed and she looked thoughtful, while Liu Yourong still looked confused.

"So I have also been through this stage, young prince, and naturally understand what young people think at this age."

"Young men at this age are full of vigor and vitality, which makes them rebellious, but they are also young and admiring. If you seduce them with beauty, the young prince will not be able to resist."

Liu Yourong's face turned red all of a sudden, and she suddenly understood why she was asked to avoid it just now, but besides being shy, she found that she actually had some inexplicable emotions.

"The young prince will surely enjoy the taste of the food and put aside other things. If he can secretly conceive and give birth to a prince or princess, I have had children before and know the love of parents for their children. Then the young prince will have no time to care about other things. By the time the young prince comes to his senses, three or four years have passed and he will have forgotten what happened today. By then, the concubine will have grandchildren to take care of her and share the joy of family life. Isn't that wonderful?"

Concubine Liu listened attentively, and suddenly she felt enlightened. "Eunuch Yu's plan is really brilliant. I actually forgot about it. Before, I was very strict with Yan'er and didn't let him have any contact with matters between men and women. I was afraid that he would lose control and drain his body. But now I have already figured out what is more important, and I can't care about so much anymore." Concubine Liu sighed.

Yu Chunlai nodded slightly, "Just make up your mind, Concubine."

"Eunuch Yu has made great contributions in providing advice, and I will definitely reward him. The palace has many things to do, and you, the chief steward, are indispensable. You can leave first!"

"I obey your command."

After Yu Chunlai left, Concubine Liu fell into deep thought.

Liu Yourong, on the other hand, felt that the atmosphere in the room was becoming increasingly weird, so he tried to find an excuse to leave.

But he was pulled back by Concubine Liu.

"Yourong! We haven't had a heart-to-heart talk for a long time. It's a good opportunity for you to have a good chat with me today."

Liu Yourong stood there at a loss.

Concubine Liu gently pushed her onto the chair beside her, took her hand and said, "Yourong! How old are you this year?" "Twenty in lunar age," Liu Yourong lowered her head and answered in a mosquito-like voice.

"You're already twenty! Five years older than Xuan'er. Time flies! Almost twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye." Concubine Liu sighed.

"The kindness of the concubine in raising me is unforgettable"

Concubine Liu nodded in satisfaction. "You also heard what Yu Chunlai said just now. It is unfortunate that such a rebellious son has appeared in our family. It seems that Chunlai's method is the only solution we can use. Are you willing to go?"

"Concubine Dowager." Liu Yourong knelt down on the ground at once. Although she had guessed it in her heart, when she heard Concubine Dowager Liu's words, her face still blushed like a ripe apple.

"Yourong doesn't dare to have any delusions. I wish to stay by the side of the Concubine Dowager all my life, serve her for the rest of my life, and repay her for raising me," Liu Yourong said incoherently.

"My dear girl! Although we have no official relationship, I have always treated you as my daughter. I will not harm you."

"I know you are filial to me, but the best years of a woman's life are these few years. If you don't seize this opportunity, what will you do after I go to see the late king?"

"Although Xuan'er has been a bit of a jerk lately, he is also a kind and honest person. He will definitely treat you well in the future."

"And I have long wanted to match you two up. You two have been childhood sweethearts. I originally wanted to wait until three years later, after Xuan'er gets married, to match you up, but for now I have no choice but to do it earlier."

Concubine Liu said a lot of things intermittently. Seeing that Liu Yourong kept her head down and didn't say anything, she thought she was unwilling, so she said in a slightly pleading tone:

"In fact, I don't want you to leave me, and I have thought about letting other people go. But every time Xuan'er comes to Changchun Palace recently, he is not polite to other people. He only has a good eye for you and always sneaks a peek at you. So you are the most suitable candidate, just agree to me!"

Liu Yourong sensed the pleading in Concubine Liu's tone, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Don't say anything, Concubine. Yourong will listen to what you say and go."

Seeing that Liu Yourong had burst into tears, Concubine Liu felt even more pity for her. She gently hugged her and said, "My daughter, as long as you can bring Xuan'er back to the right path, even if Xuan'er gets married in the future, I can guarantee you a position as a concubine. If you can give birth to a son or daughter, your life will be much better. This is also the best outcome for us women in this deep palace."

"Yourong obeys your command!" Liu Yourong said after calming down.

"Good girl!" Concubine Liu said with satisfaction.

"Then let's prepare well and go to Cunxin Palace today," said Concubine Liu with a smile on her face.

"Let's go today?" Liu Yourong's mood, which had just calmed down, became chaotic again.
"This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. You must quickly let Xuan'er take his heart back and put it on you." Concubine Liu said gently.

"Then I'll go?" Liu Yourong said confusedly.

"Don't worry, you are still a virgin and you don't know how to do anything. It's still two hours before dark. Go find Nanny Chen later. She will use the treasured atlas in the mansion to teach you how to do it."

"Oh" Liu Yourong nodded blankly.

"By the way, Xuan'er is also a young boy, and he probably doesn't know anything. When you learn, go to the Cunxin Palace with the atlas and teach him properly."

"Okay" Liu Yourong became even more confused.
