Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

Princess Gaoyang found King Gaoyang and told him what happened between Shang Yuwan and King Rong in Cang County.

Shang Yan was furious after hearing this:

"No wonder Wan'er came back like this, it was all for Prince Rong. I am the daughter of Prince Gaoyang, the princess bestowed by His Majesty, how could Prince Rong treat me so badly! Madam, rest assured, I will go to Prince Rong's mansion tomorrow morning to ask Xie Jin for justice!"

Prince Gaoyang was a prince who had been conquered on the battlefield. He had a bad temper. Princess Gaoyang was afraid that he would cause a scene tomorrow when he went to Prince Rong's mansion, so she said:

“Your Majesty, let’s communicate with Prince Rong. If it works out, our two families can be considered as a marriage. If it doesn’t work out, you shouldn’t be too angry.

Don't make a big fuss about this matter before it's handled. If Prince Rong doesn't handle it, we'll let His Majesty make the decision. For Wan'er's reputation, I'll go with you."

Princess Gaoyang thought that since Prince Rong had rejected Wan'er, it was unlikely that he would marry Wan'er.

But at least they should give their daughter an explanation, and if it can be handled privately, then it should be handled privately.

If the incident gets out and becomes known to everyone, it will only be disadvantageous to Wan'er.

Shang Yan understood, and he patted Princess Gao Yang's hand gently:

"What the princess said is true. I will be calm and composed tomorrow."

the next morning.

As Prince Gaoyang and his wife were about to leave for Prince Rong's residence, the housekeeper walked in with a bad look on his face:

"Your Highness, something bad has happened to the princess. This morning when I went out to purchase supplies, I heard rumors that the princess is obsessed with Prince Rong. She was accidentally touched by Prince Rong when she went to Cang County to suppress bandits. She asked Prince Rong to marry her as a concubine but was rejected. The rumors are spreading like wildfire."

Shang Yan stood up when he heard this:

"What do you think is going on in the streets?"

The butler trembled and repeated what he had just said. He didn't dare to look at Shang Yan's face. The look of anger and anger as if a storm was about to come and he was about to hit someone frightened him.

Princess Gaoyang was also stunned:

"It got out so quickly?"

She asked the housekeeper, "Who did you hear this from?"

The butler replied, "Princess, I can't find out who is spreading this story. The people in the streets and alleys of the whole capital are discussing it and saying a lot of unpleasant things. As soon as I heard the rumor, I hurried back to report it to the prince and princess."

Princess Gaoyang asked with trembling lips:

"What are the nasty things they say?"

The housekeeper's eyelids twitched, and he stammered:

"He, they said that the princess had no self-respect and was eager to marry Prince Rong. They said that the princess had no self-respect and did such a shameful thing before she even got married. In short, they said all kinds of things, including those about Prince Rong, saying that he was irresponsible, etc."

There were some dirty words he didn't dare to say, so he picked and chose some that didn't sound so offensive.

But these have already affected the princess's reputation and innocence, and the matter has become a big deal no matter what.

Shang Yan angrily waved away the teacup on the table, pulled out the sword hanging on the wall in the living room and was about to rush out!

"Who are the people spreading rumors? I will kill them! And that bastard Prince Rong, he is the one who caused this. I will go and seek justice for Wan'er!"

Princess Gaoyang saw that Shang Yan was getting angry, so she quickly hugged his waist and dragged him back:

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. Don't you realize that the rumor came too suddenly? Wan'er just returned to the capital yesterday, and today the news about Cang County has spread everywhere. This is very problematic. Your Highness, please don't be impulsive. We need to calm down and make a long-term plan."

Shang Yan was so angry that his saliva sprayed out and he shouted:

"What is there to discuss? With things like this, Xie Jin will have to marry Wan'er even if he doesn't want to. Even if I have to lead my troops to surround Prince Rong's mansion, I will force him to marry Wan'er!"

The housekeeper also helped to stop him:

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Father, Mother is right. Rumors are spreading like wildfire. We must not be easily swayed by impulse!"

There was a great commotion in the main hall, and Shang Xiuran's voice came from the corridor.

Seeing him coming, Princess Gaoyang said repeatedly:

"Xiu Ran, please persuade your father to stop him from being manipulated and falling into someone else's trap!"

Shang Xiuran walked up to King Gaoyang:

"Father, the rumors are directed at Prince Gaoyang's Mansion and Prince Rong's Mansion. Xie Jin would never do such a thing. It would not benefit him. If Father rushes into Prince Rong's Mansion to cause trouble, it will definitely play into the hands of the instigator. Please stay calm, Father."

After several people's persuasion and dissuasion, Shang Yan finally calmed down a little.

He sat back in his chair, panting:

"So what do you say we should do? Should we pretend we didn't hear anything and play dead?"

Shang Xiuran asked the housekeeper again:

"Apart from this, what else is there to say?"

The housekeeper said: "After His Royal Highness Prince Rong and Miss Feng came out of the palace yesterday, Miss Feng moved back to the Marquis' Mansion with the old lady of the Marquis. People outside are also spreading rumors that Miss Feng was originally engaged to His Royal Highness Prince Rong, but she left with the old lady of the Marquis as soon as she returned from Cang County.

The rumor is that Miss Feng is angry with Prince Rong because he touched our princess. This incident indirectly proves that there is indeed something going on between Prince Rong and the princess, so the rumor sounds particularly true. "

Princess Gaoyang was furious:

"How ridiculous! This is clearly a trap set by someone to completely ruin the reputation of Prince Gaoyang's Palace."

Shang Xiuran said: "Apart from the dirty words in the rumor, the incident is true. The person who spread the story is likely someone who was in Cang County at the time. I will send someone to investigate.

As for going to Prince Rong's Mansion, my father and mother cannot go there in the identity of Prince Gaoyang's Mansion. The rumors outside are at the forefront. If someone sees my father and mother entering Prince Rong's Mansion at this time, everyone will further confirm the truth of the rumors. "

Shang Yan asked, "So are we just going to let the rumors spread and do nothing about it?"

Shang Xiuran said: "Of course not, Xie Jin should also know about this, we should go secretly."

Princess Gaoyang said, "Xiu Ran is right. You go and make arrangements for entering Prince Rong's mansion."

She then instructed the butler:

"Don't let the rumors spread into Fangfei Garden and let the young lady know. If Wan'er hears any rumors, I will punish her severely when I return!"

The butler replied with trepidation, "Yes, Princess."
