The cannon fodder female supporting role is busy in the book, and she gets mad when she disagrees wi

Shi Lidie lamented that the plot was so powerful that she had changed the original plot into this, but the Third Prince was still with Fang Ruoruo and even asked the Emperor to grant them a marriage.

I have to admit that in the book "The Fake Daughter Wins Without Any Effort", power struggles are child's play.

In the original plot, the Third Prince and Fang Ruoruo had it so smooth, but this time they were not so lucky.

The emperor looked at the third prince with a blank expression, showing no emotion. He asked:

"Third brother, are you sure you want me to grant you and Fang Ruoruo a marriage?"

"Yes." The Third Prince nodded. "Father, I cannot be a man who will abandon you after having sex with you. Since Ruoruo is already mine, I am willing to take responsibility."

"Okay, you asked for it yourself!" The emperor nodded upon hearing this, "I will grant the marriage between the Third Prince and Fang Ruoruo today. Fang Ruoruo will be the Third Prince's principal wife. The marriage will take place within seven days and she will marry into the Third Prince's mansion."

I have to say that Fang Ruoruo made the right move.

She gambled on her own reputation, the Third Prince's feelings for her, and His Majesty's desire to keep the peace.

The other protagonist of this scandal is the prince. If it gets out of hand, it will also be considered a scandal of the royal family. The people will say that the royal family has no good way of educating their children, which will damage the image of the royal family.

Therefore, in order to calm the matter as quickly as possible, the emperor had no choice but to admit that the Third Prince and Fang Ruoruo were in love with each other, and he was happy to make it happen, turning this scandal into a good story.

Logically speaking, Fang Ruoruo lost her virginity before marriage, and coupled with her identity as a fake daughter, she was not qualified to be the principal wife.

But the emperor made her his principal wife.

On the surface, it seemed that the emperor was tolerant of her, but in reality, it meant that the emperor had given up on the third prince.

The marriages of the princes were all chips for increasing their power.

In this era, it is very common to use marriage relationships to bind each other and prosper together.

Just like Concubine Shu wanted to arrange a marriage for the Third Prince with the Dingbei Marquisate, it was also for the power of the Dingbei Marquisate and for the military power of the Dingbei Marquisate in the northern border. If he wanted to seize the throne, he would not marry a wife whose maternal family had no power.

But now, the emperor gave Fang Ruoruo to him.

Although Fang Ruoruo was born in the Earl's Mansion of Loyalty and Bravery, she is a fake daughter. Now that the real daughter has returned and is valued by His Majesty, the fake daughter does not have many bargaining chips.

What's more, the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion is not a prosperous family. Just as Concubine Shu analyzed, it only has some connections in the military but no real power.

Fang Ruoruo's father and brother had little say and could not provide much help to the third prince.

If Fang Ruoruo occupies the position of the principal wife, then other powerful families in the capital will not marry their daughters as concubines and make them inferior to others. If the Third Prince wants to marry a concubine, he can only choose from a lower class.

As a result, the Third Prince will receive very little help, and his path to succession will be even more difficult.

Therefore, the emperor's move was a disappointment and warning to the third prince.

But the Third Prince might have been stunned by Fang Ruoruo's tears. He didn't think about this at all. After all, Concubine Shu usually took care of him, and he himself was not that thoughtful.

But now, Concubine Shu had fainted and was completely powerless to stop this.

Things have settled.

The Earl of Loyalty and Bravery formed a marriage alliance with the Third Prince, and Fang Ruoruo married the Third Prince as his principal wife.

After the emperor decided on this marriage, he changed the subject:

"The age difference between the fifth prince and the third prince is not too big. Since the third prince is already engaged, the fifth prince cannot fall behind. I will also grant the fifth prince a marriage. Marquis Dingbei, your daughter has reached the age of marriage. Are you willing to become my in-law?"

Marquis Dingbei, Concubine Shu’s elder brother and the Third Prince’s uncle.

Originally, Concubine Shu had chosen the candidate for the third prince's father-in-law, but now his decision was interrupted by a single word from the Emperor.

The emperor did not force the marriage, but asked Dingbei Hou if he was willing to be a relative. Could he refuse? If he refused, wouldn't it mean that Dingbei Hou looked down on the royal family and the emperor?

Dingbei Hou was so upset that he could only bow his hands in thanks:

"It is my honor that your majesty values ​​me. I am willing to marry my daughter to the Fifth Prince."

"Okay, then I will grant a marriage between the Fifth Prince and the eldest daughter of Marquis Dingbei, and order the Imperial Observatory to choose a good day to hold the wedding ceremony." The emperor made the final decision, and the matter was settled.

Shi Lidie was like a spectator, hiding aside and watching the show.

At this point, if she still doesn't understand the emperor's intention of balancing the two princes, then all the novels she has read will be in vain!

In order to prevent the Third Prince from gaining the support of the military families, after granting him marriage to Fang Ruoruo, he directly arranged the marriage with the daughter of Marquis Dingbei, thus putting an end to Marquis Dingbei's intention to support the Third Prince.

Marquis Dingbei is the Third Prince's uncle. Even if his legitimate daughter does not marry the Third Prince as his principal wife but marries someone else, the uncle would certainly hope that the throne would fall into the hands of his nephew, after all, he is also his own bloodline.

But things were different when the daughter of Marquis Dingbei married the fifth prince.

Compared to a nephew, a daughter is more of a family blood, and a daughter's son is a legitimate grandson. Instead of supporting a nephew to take the position, it is better to support a son-in-law and fight for a future for one's own grandson.

This became a game between the third prince and the fifth prince.

Shi Lidie wanted to applaud.

As expected of a feudal emperor, he mastered the art of imperial power and checks and balances.

But it was obvious that the Third Prince and Fang Ruoruo, who had just been granted marriage and were immersed in happiness and joy, did not realize how bad things were. The fight for the throne and the throne were far less important than the love in front of them.

And Shufei, who had just been awakened from her coma by a palace maid, happened to hear the emperor's second imperial decree granting marriage.

Then there was a bang, and he fainted again.

The emperor saw this, sighed, and said to everyone:

"Well, I don't think you will enjoy your meal here, so I will leave now. Please do as you please."

After saying this, the emperor stood up, shook his sleeves, and left.

Once the big boss left, the entire palace banquet became much more relaxed. Many concubines who did not want to stay here also returned to the palace to see if there was any way to lure the emperor over.

As for the ministers below, those who were willing to stay stayed to drink, and those who were unwilling to stay went back early.

The concubine was carried away, but the queen did not leave. She waved at Shi Lidie:

"Come sit next to me."

Shi Lidie did not hesitate to walk up to the Queen and sat next to her, chatting with her:

"My lady, look, are things moving in a positive direction?"

Before, the Queen was worried that the Third Prince would succeed to the throne, and that Concubine Shu was stepping on her head, so she had no way to seek justice for her parents. But now, with two engagements, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince would fight to the death, wouldn't they?

"You are so smart, little clever girl." The queen tapped Shi Lidie's forehead, then took her hand and put it against her belly.

Shi Lidie understood the elegant meaning of the music and was immediately surprised:

"My queen, are you... pregnant too?"

"It's been less than a month. I prepared Doctor Song for myself." The Queen said, "If Miss Fang hadn't done this today, I would have found out that I was pregnant."
