With the Crown Prince yet to be established, several princes in the court have long been engaging in power struggles. As the Emperor ages, their competition will only intensify. Now, Prince Zhou, in an attempt to win over the Wen Family, has employed some unsavory tactics to tie them to his cause. Who knows if other princes might follow suit?
Guan Shuyan, who will soon turn fifteen, is of the perfect age, and her family background is outstanding. Her father and brothers are in the military, holding military power. Isn't that a great advantage?
To go back, Madam Guan did not believe that Prince Zhou acted towards Miss Wen solely because of love. If Miss Wen's surname wasn't Wen, he wouldn't have bothered with such futile efforts.
Indeed, ever since the incident at the Longevity Festival, the Emperor has not visited Consort Fan's palace, and he shows little favor to Prince Zhou. Isn't this a case of losing the emperor's favor along with the beauty's affection, a clear loss?
