"Are you not angry, Your Highness?"

“难道娘娘不生气？”

"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.

“生气？本宫为何要生气？本宫要的不过是崔家的崔玉与当今太子早日结成连理。她想要崔家的权利就让她拿去，本宫从来都不怕她夺权，我怕的从来都是他对权力不感兴趣，浪费了一身的好资源，浪费了一身才华和天资聪颖。

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."

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

“娘娘，可是姑娘她不愿意入宫，也不愿意嫁给太子呀！”

"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."
