Chapter 32. Seizing Power

"Are you not angry, Your Highness"

“難道娘娘不生氣？”

"Angry Why should I be angry I want Cui Yu of the Cui family and the current crown prince to be united in marriage. If she wants the power of the Cui family, let her have it. I've never been afraid of her seizing power. What I fear is her lack of interest in it, wasting her talents and innate intelligence.

“生氣？本宮為何要生氣？本宮要的不過是崔家的崔玉與當今太子早日結成連理。她想要崔家的權利就讓她拿去，本宮從來都不怕她奪權，我怕的從來都是他對權力不感興趣，浪費了一身的好資源，浪費了一身才華和天資聰穎。

Both she and I come from the Cui family. We are born of it and will die as its ghosts. I can protect the Cui family from falling in these turbulent times and make it more prosperous than ever before, but how long can I maintain that In this regard, she is ultimately better than I."

本宮與他同出崔氏，我們生是崔氏的人死是崔氏的鬼，本宮能保崔家在亂世中不倒，并且繁榮昌盛更勝從前，可是本宮又能保住幾年呢？于這一點本宮終究是不如她的。”

"Your Highness is the most intelligent person in the world."

“娘娘是天底下最聰明的人。”

"But some things cannot be achieved by intelligence alone. One also needs the right timing, favorable conditions, and harmony among people," she continued with a smile. "In the end, my luck is not as good as hers. If she, like me, puts forth her full effort, she could protect the Cui family for a hundred years, something I cannot do."

“可是有些事情不是僅聰明就可以辦到的，還要有天時地利和人和都俱全才可以呀。“她繼續笑道：“本宮的福氣終歸是不如她的，若她也如本宮一樣拼盡全力，足可保崔家百年不倒，而關于這一點本宮卻辦不到。”

"Your Highness, the young lady is unwilling to enter the palace and marry the crown prince!"

“娘娘，可是姑娘她不願意入宮，也不願意嫁給太子呀！”

"Her act of seizing power proves her worth and capability, and that alone will earn her the admiration of many. Previously, everyone believed that I was the most respected member of the Cui family, but from now on, they will discover that the true power-holder is not me, the renowned imperial consort, but the obscure Cui Yu from the Cui family. Yu'er, you may be gifted and intelligent, but your cultivation still falls short."

“她的奪權證明了她的價值和能力，就這一點就足以讓很多人刮目相看。以前所有的人都認為崔家是以我為尊，但是從今以後他們會發現崔家真正能掌權的人不是我這個名揚天下的皇貴妃，而是她那個默默無聞的崔家崔玉。玉兒呀玉兒，你雖然天資聰穎，可終歸是修為欠缺了點”

"There is no woman in the world wiser than Your Highness."

“天下沒有哪個女子比娘娘更聰明了。”

The imperial consort departed with a smile, her mood uplifted. She went to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers once again.

貴妃含笑而去，她今天心情很好，因此又去禦花園賞花了。

My tranquil life was once again disrupted when I accidentally uncovered the second prince's conspiracy and his ambitions.

平靜的生活再次被打破，是因為我無意中發現了二皇子的密謀，也發現了二皇子的野心。

Crown Prince Liu Hao had the emperor's favor, but he was too kind, too courteous, and too righteous.

太子劉昊雖然深得新王朝皇帝的心，但是他太過良善，太過君子，太過大義。

He would undoubtedly be a benevolent monarch if he could ascend the throne.

如果他能登基，必定是一個仁德的君王。

However, with such a talented and ambitious younger brother, could he truly secure his position as an emperor

可是他有一個這樣能力非凡，狼子野心的弟弟，他真的能夠登上這帝王之座嗎？

Sensing my deliberate distance, he seemed to realize something. As clever as he was, he must have known I didn't like him and didn't want to marry him.

面對我刻意地疏遠，他好像意識到了什麽。聰明如他定然發現我并不中意他，我并不想嫁給他。
