Preposterous, do you even know what you are saying? Luo Rong Ping wished he could just go up and slap her. Something as important as picking sides, how can it be treated like childs play. For those in power, they hated those who leaned whichever way the wind blew the most, even if he still hasnt genuinely made connections with Kang Qinwang yet. But that was also soon, and right now was precisely the most critical moments. Perhaps, in another few days, hell be able to directly meet with Kang Qinwang. Casting himself to another master at this time, never mind that all his previous efforts will be wasted, he might even meet with Kang Qinwang factions retaliation.

Father, I know what Im saying. First, finish listening to what I have to say, its not too late to get angry afterwards.

Alright, I sure want to hear, see how youre going to spin a flower out of this.

Father, setting aside everything else, just solely comparing Kang Qinwang and Rui Qinwang, whose abilities were stronger? Who further holds his Majestys admiration? Who further holds his Majestys heart? Even we, these women of the inner manor, can clearly see, although the position of the heir apparent isnt something his Majesty can determine based on his personal fondness, but anyone with eyes can tell, Rui Qinwang has more of an advantage. The battle for the throne has always been about the outcome and not the process. And the most obvious advantage Rui Qinwang has over Kang Qinwang was that he has a Right Commander-in-Chief who wields military power. To say it unpleasantly, even if Kang Qinwang ascends the throne, if Rui Qinwang is unable to reconcile, then before Kang Qinwang can stabilize his rule Luo Jing Ying paused, but Luo Rong Ping understood her meaning.

Continue.

Fathers wisdom is unparalleled. I believe, at the time when choosing, your true target probably wasnt Kang Qinwang, right?

Naturally, it wasnt Kang Qinwang. Just, at the time, there was no door to cast towards Rui Qinwang, and instead, by pure coincidence, made connections with people of Kang Qinwangs faction. Even so, what of it? You have to know, if we abandon Kang Qinwang and choose Rui Qinwang, never mind the position of wangfei, whether or not you can be a side consort is all very difficult to say. Youre this willing to humble yourself?

Then how certain is father in being able to let this daughter become Kang Wangfei? Its not that this daughter is underestimating father, but just based on our familys standing, even if eldest sister was still unmarried, to want to become Kang Qinwangs second wangfei, afraid the prospects werent very high either, right? So for what reason would I be able to? This was even a first for Luo Jing Ying, whose heart has always been higher than the heavens, to belittle herself like this, all for the sake of achieving her goal. She believed herself to be saying the opposite of what she thought in her heart, but this was actually the most truthful reality that she was unwilling to face and unwilling to admit to. But with Rui Qinwang, its not the same. Scheming for a side consort position, the difficulty will be much smaller, right? Even if this isnt possible, what if this daughter were to give birth to a son for Rui Qinwang? Dont forget, that concubine of Rui Qinwang Manor that everyone held high hopes for similarly didnt give birth to a son. This matter even got leaked out by people with ulterior motives, resulting in nearly everyone all knowing. Rui Qinwang hasnt suffered from ridicule any less these two days right? If Rui Qinwangs eldest son is born from this daughter, then in the future, I may not necessarily no be able to let him become the di son. Nothing in the world is forever, who can say for sure? Kang Qinwangs place wont have any of these advantages. Even if this daughter is the wangfei and gives birth to a di son, compared to the first wifes di children, he would still be a head shorter. Father, dont you think so?

Luo Rong Ping pinched his brow, quietly contemplating. He had to admit, his daughters words made sense, but he didnt want his efforts to all be in vain, and also have to bear risk. Moreover, how was he going to get acquainted with Rui Qinwang? Luo Rong Ping had the question thrown out. He rather wanted to see, whether or not this daughter that made him somewhat impressed was able to give him a surprise.

Wealth and honor are sought amidst danger, just have to see whether father dares to or not.

What do you mean?

Become a spy planted in the Kang Qinwang faction for Rui Qinwang.

You actually dared to say it. One mishap, and our lives will be thrown in. Luo Rong Ping responded with a cold look.

Thats why its wealth and honor sought amidst danger. This is the fastest way to obtain Rui Qinwangs trust, and be put in an important position. Compared to slowly climbing up in Kang Qinwangs faction, and even possibly never make any progress for your whole life, this was is much better. As such, mentioning the matter of letting this daughter enter the Rui Qinwang Manor afterward, wouldnt it only be as expected. And that position of side consort perhaps will just fall into our hands with ease. As for how to get acquainted with Rui Qinwang, two days ago, in the streets, this daughter Luo Jing Ying roughly narrated the incident where Rui Qinwang had helped her get out of trouble. Although Rui Qinwang wont mind a single glass lamp, we however cannot disregard it. With this as an excuse, father surely can think of a way to get connected, right?

Liu-shi looked to her own daughter with slightly narrowed eyes. She really did make her feel somewhat surprised.

Luo Rong Ping sank into contemplation. It was very obvious, he really was moved. Previously when hed mentioned letting their daughter marry Kang Qinwang, he indeed had that intention. The reason he was able to say it so solemnly was nothing more than relying on Liu-shis lack of understanding towards the outside. In actuality, he was very clear, to want to fulfill his desire, it was more likely to just daydream. He mainly still did it for the sake of Huan Niang, hoping to use this as a condition to restrain Liu-shi, letting her hold back a little. Just, he never thought that by pure coincidence, he would obtain an unexpected reward. This matter, father will properly think it over. He looked to Luo Jing Ying, and for the first time ever, became very affectionate, Your performance today was very good. This is what my daughter should be like, need to continue maintaining, father doesnt want to see you like how you were in the past again, always doing foolish things.

This daughter was young in the past and didnt understand, letting father worry. In the future, I definitely wont be as such again.

En. Luo Rong Ping got up, Ill be leaving first.

Liu-shi slowly got up, sending off Luo Rong Ping together with Luo Jing Ying. Afterwards, she sat back down, and used a judging gaze to look at Luo Jing Ying.

Luo Jing Ying felt very uneasiness under her gaze. These days, her fear towards Liu-shi really was growing with each passing day. She couldnt help but shrink back a little. Mother, what is it?

Id thought that you really did make progress, but turns out to be just an empty vase, wont last for long. Liu-shi faintly spoke.

Mother. She was very embarrassed by these seemingly mocking words of hers.

Your bearing just now was very good, why cant you just keep pretending? Because your goal was achieved, and without a goal you must accomplish supporting, you just couldnt uphold it anymore?

Luo Jing Yings lips quivered, her gaze somewhat averting, Mother, what are you saying?

Yinger, you grew up under mothers eyelids. That little bit of thought of yours can be kept from others, but can you keep it from me? So you like Rui Qinwang?

Mother, no, I

Like is like. Liu-shi waved her hand, interrupting her words. Your eyes this time arent bad. Straighten your back. You have the guts to say those words to your father, and even be able to say it sounding neither servile nor overbearing, being magnanimous to the extreme. Right now, I still havent done anything to you, yet already shrinking back? Ive told you before, no matter who youre facing, you need to bring out that composure from earlier, including in front of me. Yinger, since you have the ambition, then you need to have the corresponding abilities, discipline, and bearing.

Luo Jing Ying subconsciously straightened her back, but her gaze was still somewhat fleeting, Mother, youre not angry?
