Only this green, not disappointing the spring

After living in fear for about half a month, Wu Yuean's heart, which had been hanging in the air... finally died.

She finally understood what the Third Prince Xuanyuan Yan meant when he said that to her. Because today, the Fifth Prince Xuanyuan Chen went to the home of Prime Minister Wang to propose marriage.

The one being sought was naturally Wang Shuhua, the only legitimate daughter of the Wang family, but she was not a concubine but a co-wife!

What she couldn't understand the most was that Prime Minister Wang and Madam Wang actually agreed! It was ridiculous that a Prime Minister could sell his daughter for fame!

When she saw Xuanyuan Chen returning with a beaming face, tears welled up in her eyes and she asked in a trembling voice:

"Your Highness, it's been less than three months since we got married and you're already marrying a concubine. Aren't you a little too hasty?!"

Tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. Although she didn't have much feelings for the man in front of her, he was the one she entrusted her life to after all, so how could she not care? !

Xuanyuan Chen's face immediately showed impatience, and his good mood was swept away. He sneered and said disdainfully:

"You and I don't have to pretend to be in love, right? When your Wu family took the initiative to show goodwill to me, I don't need to say what your plan was.

If my highness can marry into the Wang family, it will be like a tiger with wings. You can also be considered a fisherman who reaps the benefits. Just enjoy it secretly, hum!"

After saying that, he suddenly threw away his sleeves and walked straight to the study. At night, he even stayed in the concubine's room, and this continued for several days.

Those concubines were originally quite cautious and prudent, but ever since the Fifth Prince took turns staying in their rooms for several days in a row, they became more and more arrogant.

Wu Yuean originally disdained this kind of backyard dispute that was not worthy of being discussed publicly, and wanted to take action to deal with it and make an example of it, but he never expected to be stopped by Xuanyuan Chen.

She suddenly felt confused about the road ahead and even began to regret it.

Wu Yuean didn't want someone else to take a share of her position as the Crown Prince's Consort before she even got the chance to sit on it, and Wang Shuhua was even more unwilling to do so.

She never expected that in the eyes of her parents, she was just a tool to seek benefits for the family!

When she learned that her marriage had been so hastily settled, she felt the blood boiling in her chest, and she spat out a large mouthful of blood with a "wow" and then fainted.

When she finally woke up, she saw her mother sitting in front of the bed with a worried look on her face. She felt a glimmer of hope in her heart and asked anxiously:

"Mother, you don't want to do this either, right? It was father's decision alone, right?"

Nan Rongshu's words of concern were blocked before she could even utter them. She opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Hua'er, father and mother are doing this for your own good, you..."

"Mother, just answer me." The starlight in her eyes gradually dissipated, and she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh without feeling any pain. She waited patiently for an answer.

Nan Rongshu was a little hesitant when she saw her daughter like this, but she immediately became resolute when she thought of her years of hard work. So she patted her daughter's hand and said softly:

"Husband and wife are of the same mind. Your father and I naturally have the same idea. Although the Fifth Prince has already married, he has promised to treat you well when he marries you into the family in the future, and he also promised to let you conceive a legitimate child first.

So, Hua'er, how could your father and mother harm you? We have already planned everything for you."

She waved away the servants in the room and continued in a voice that only the mother and daughter could hear:

"When the Fifth Prince achieves great success in the future, you will be the most noble woman in the world. This kind of honor is something that no woman in the world can hope to have!

Huaer, your mother has worked hard to raise you since you were young, isn't this what she wanted? Good child, you can definitely figure it out, right? "

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Shuhua laughed out loud. Although the laughter was light, it was intermittent and made people feel uneasy.

So she held the other person's hand tightly and asked anxiously:

"Hua'er, you, what's wrong with you?"

About half a cup of tea later, Wang Shuhua finally stopped laughing and a look of relaxation appeared on her face. She curled her lips and said with joy:

"Don't worry, mother. What you said does make sense. Your daughter has figured it out.

For more than a decade, my daughter has never slacked off, and has been immersed in books all day long. She is not a scholar, but she is well-read. In order to practice the piano well, she has never stopped playing even when her fingers are bloodied.

There are countless examples like this, and we really can't give up all the previous efforts. Just do as you and your father wish!"

She slowly sat up from the bed, straightened her expression and said again:

"However, mother has to promise her daughter one thing."

Nan Rongshu was relieved to see that his daughter had finally come to her senses. He smiled and asked:

"Okay, you tell me, as long as your father and I can do it, we will do it for you. As for the dowry, your mother has been saving it since the day you were born. Although it is not as grand as the wedding of the daughters of the royal family, it is not much different."

Wang Shuhua shook his head slightly.

“The daughters don’t care, and the mother can handle it all.

My daughter wants to see Cousin Yan one more time before getting married. She has to give up completely and break up with him before she can get married."

When she said this, her mouth was full of bitterness. Although she had never tasted Coptis chinensis, she felt that it must be ten times more bitter than Coptis chinensis.

Nan Rongshu's first reaction was to refuse. His daughter had already been engaged to the Fifth Prince, and it was too late for her to meet a stranger, especially the Third Prince. What if the Fifth Prince knew about this and became disgusted with his daughter?

But when she saw her daughter's determined expression, she didn't know what to do.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally sighed and said:

"Then you must agree to go with your mother, on the pretext of visiting your cousin's injuries."

Wang Shuhua readily agreed.

"As long as mother allows her daughter to talk to Cousin Yan alone for a while, nothing else matters."

The matter was settled. Although Prime Minister Wang was somewhat unhappy when he learned about it, he ultimately just gave a few repeated instructions and did not stop it.

His daughter has a strong personality and he knows that if he puts too much pressure on her, it will backfire. It would be better to be more accommodating to her on some harmless little things.

After his daughter successfully married into the Fifth Prince's mansion, the two families were truly tied together, and all his plans could be fully implemented.

……

After Xuanyuan Yan received the invitation from the Wang family, he immediately wanted to refuse it. Although he was now out of town, the mansion was still closed to visitors.

He was living a comfortable and carefree life now, and didn't want to be disturbed at all. Shangguan Qingyue, who was standing beside him, suddenly said:

"Why don't we meet? Your Highness said that the Fifth Prince and Miss Wang got engaged a few days ago? I always feel that Miss Wang was not willing to do so."

She spoke in a somewhat depressed tone, and was obviously somewhat disgusted by this matter.

Xuanyuan Yan found this very funny and reached out to gently tap the little girl's forehead.

"I remember that Wang's cousin was not very friendly to you and even said bad things to you. I didn't expect you to repay evil with kindness?"

Shangguan Qingyue was reminded by him and immediately recalled that Wang Shuhua had mistakenly believed that she was being kept as a mistress by Xuanyuan Yan. She couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Highness, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. There are so many things to do every day that I don't have the time to remember these trivial matters!

But later on, I felt that Miss Wang had changed a lot, and she didn’t seem to be so obsessed with you anymore.”

At this point, Xuanyuan Yan stopped plucking the strings of the zither, looked at the girl in front of him and asked:

"If my cousin Shuhua came to my house this time to ask me to ruin her marriage with my fifth brother and marry her, even if I can't give her the position of wife, how should I respond?"

Shangguan Qingyue was originally using needle and thread to crochet new socks for Xuanyuan Yan. When he asked her this, her movements paused and then quickly returned to normal.

She replied calmly:

"Isn't this simple? If you like her, marry her. If you don't like her, reject her!"

Xuanyuan Yan suddenly felt itchy and glanced at the ruler beside him several times, but he finally held back.

He shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect this girl to say anything nice, so why should he be angry?

Shangguan Qingyue did not notice anything wrong, and her crocheting movements were very skillful. She suddenly thought of something and asked:

"What if Miss Wang simply came to ask for your help? After all, although the Fifth Prince is of noble status, he is not a good match."

Xuanyuan Yan grasped the key from her mouth and immediately asked:

"Why not a good match? What kind of man is a good match in your opinion?"

Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but slap himself on the forehead, angry at himself for not controlling his mouth and saying things he shouldn't have said.

Xuanyuan Yan felt distressed when he saw this, and subconsciously stretched his hand into the air to try to stop him, but the two were too far apart and it was too late.

"Why do you hit yourself on the head so hard? What if you get knocked unconscious?"

The pain in his eyes was too obvious, Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but be stunned. Looking back on the past, the things she had always believed in began to waver.

Is his concern for her just like that of an ordinary friend? ...
