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

After driving the people away, Feng Qingluan returned to Songhe Hall.

"Qingluan, Grandmother neglected Shuyao's matter and you have been wronged."

Old Madam Hou held Feng Qingluan's hand, her face full of self-blame.

Feng Qingluan said, "Grandmother, Pan Yulian and Feng Shuyao had planned this long ago. Xie Yan secretly instructed that Feng Shuyao would enter the Chu Palace sooner or later. It's not your fault."

Madam Hou said worriedly, "The King of Chu favors Feng Shuyao. We have offended him tonight. Your life in the palace will be difficult in the future."

She could see that Xie Yan was extremely protective of Feng Shuyao, and Qingluan also changed her attitude and confronted him. She was afraid that Feng Shuyao's marriage into the palace today would make Qingluan sad, so she was determined to drive Feng Zheng and Pan out of the palace regardless of offending King Chu.

Feng Qingluan knew what she was worried about and said, "Grandma, I don't plan to live in the palace. I will divorce Xie Yan."

"What? Qingluan, have you thought it through? Ahem..."

Upon hearing about the divorce, Old Madam Hou started coughing emotionally.

In the Great Xia Kingdom, no woman ever dared to ask for a divorce from her husband's family.

What's more, the other party is a prince. Is it possible to divorce the royal family?

Feng Qingluan stroked Madam Hou's back, "Grandma, tonight I have completely seen what kind of person Xie Yan is. It is impossible for me to be husband and wife with him anymore. I don't like him anymore. If I don't like him, I will withdraw in time."

Madam Hou's eyes were moist. "Qingluan, you have admired the King of Chu since you were a child. How could you stop liking him overnight? Don't say such angry words."

Divorce is a serious matter, and Madam Hou only thought that Feng Qingluan said these two words because she was angry.

Feng Qingluan sighed. If her grandmother knew that the original owner had lost her life because of Xie Yan, she would definitely not advise her like this. She said:

"Grandmother, let's talk about this later. Tomorrow I will go to Longxing Escort Agency to find Uncle Liu and ask him to bring some people to the Marquis' Mansion to prevent Pan Yulian from causing trouble. I will feel at ease with them around."

Liu Bing was the former deputy general of the Marquis of Huguo. He was injured in the battle and retired. He then worked in the Longxing Escort Agency with the other retired generals of the Marquis.

Longxing Escort Agency was the property of the original owner's mother, Yun.

After discussing the matter, Feng Qingluan stayed in Songhe Hall at night.

According to the rules, the new bride had to go to the palace to pay her respects to His Majesty and the Queen and offer them tea on the second day.

The next day, before Feng Qingluan left the Marquis' Mansion, the old lady of the Marquis took her aside and gave her a heartfelt admonition:

"Qingluan, today is the day for everything. If you really want to divorce the King of Chu, your grandmother will be waiting for you to come back anytime."

She thought about it all night last night. Qingluan has liked the King of Chu since she was a child. If she hadn't been heartbroken, she would never have thought of divorce.

Feng Qingluan was moved, "Grandma, I understand."

When Feng Qingluan returned to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, Xie Yan was waiting in the front hall. Seeing her, he became increasingly furious.

"You still have the nerve to come back! Have you forgotten what you were supposed to do today?"

Feng Qingluan said: "I haven't forgotten. I'm back now."

There is still a tough battle to fight today, how could she forget!

Xie Yan said coldly: "Feng Qingluan, I warn you, if you dare to say a word about what happened last night after entering the palace, don't even think about seeing me again in this life!"

Feng Qingluan has crossed his bottom line this time, and he will not forgive her even if she kneels down and admits her mistake!

Feng Qingluan laughed: "Who gave you the confidence to see you? In broad daylight, what are you dreaming about?"

After saying that, she gave him a mocking slap on the back of his head and returned to Hengwuyuan.

The disgust and disrespect in her words made Xie Yan so angry that he threw the teacup on the table to the ground, gritted his teeth, stared at Feng Qingluan's back, and panted.

After returning to Hengwu Courtyard, Feng Qingluan changed into palace attire and went to the palace with Xie Yan to pay their respects.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Xia Ming sat majestically on the seat of honor, with Concubine Ru sitting next to him.

Originally, tea should be offered to the late emperor and the empress. Empress Li had recently caught a cold and was recuperating in Kunning Palace. Xie Yan's biological mother, Concubine Ru, came to the Yangxin Palace and offered tea to them first.

"Father, Mother, please have some tea."

The eunuch brought tea, thanked the banquet and bowed to Feng Qingluan. Emperor Xia Ming drank it and smiled warmly:

"King Chu, you and Qingluan are getting married. I have fulfilled the Marquis's request and I feel relieved."

Seeing the hypocritical smile on Emperor Xia Ming's face, Feng Qingluan felt sick.

When he first ascended the throne, Feng Qian helped him conquer the world, and Da Xia entered an era of peace and prosperity. He openly and covertly suppressed Feng Qian and forced him to hand over his military power.

Emperor Xia Ming might have been responsible for Feng Qian's death.

Emperor Xia Ming cherished the memory of loyalty, and Concubine Ru echoed:

"The King of Chu and Qingluan are a match made in heaven. The old marquis would be very pleased if he knew about this in the afterlife."

Feng Qingluan was not here to listen to the two of them singing a duet. What Xie Yan did last night was enough for her to file for divorce. Just as she was about to open her mouth to do so, Xie Yan bumped into her as a warning.

Feng Qingluan ignored him and said, "Father, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. The King of Chu doesn't think so. Last night..."

"Father!"

Guessing that she wouldn't listen, Xie Yan quickly interrupted her.

Emperor Xia Ming and Concubine Ru looked at him in confusion. Xie Yan looked nervous and stammered:

"Father, Mother, I was not gentle enough to Qingluan last night, which made Qingluan unhappy. I will pay attention to this in the future."

Ru Fei thought he was talking about the bed curtains and said angrily:

"King Chu, this is your fault. Women are delicate and you should not act rashly."

Feng Qingluan squinted at him and sneered:

"Father, Mother, the King of Chu did not come to my room last night. He went to the concubine's courtyard and sent someone to ask me to wash her feet. The King of Chu humiliated me and almost killed me for it. I am really disappointed."

In the Great Xia Kingdom, favoring a concubine and neglecting one's wife is considered a serious moral shame. Feng Qingluan did not mention these four words, but every word conveyed this meaning.

Emperor Xia Ming looked at him seriously, "King Chu, is what Qingluan said true?"

Xie Yan's face turned pale and he knelt on the ground, "Father, your son..."

Seeing that her son had no way to defend himself, Concubine Ru knew that what Feng Qingluan said was true, and she could not help but scold him angrily:

"King Chu, how could you do such a thing? It's outrageous!"

Feng Qingluan is the orphan of a marquis's family and the descendant of a loyal and brave general. What would the soldiers think if the King of Chu humiliated her on their wedding night?

Xie Yan gritted his teeth. Feng Qingluan always obeyed him, and he knew very well that even if he humiliated her on their wedding night, Feng Qingluan would endure it.

Unexpectedly, her temperament changed drastically. After warning her, she still reported the matter to her father. Xie Yan argued:

"Father, Mother, it's not like that. It was Feng Qingluan who bullied Shu Yao first. As the head of the family, I punished her a little, but she got jealous and exaggerated the facts, wanting you to blame me for her anger. Please don't listen to the words of a jealous woman who is angry."

Using such a clumsy rhetoric to quibble, Feng Qingluan sneered and said to Emperor Xia Ming:

"Father, when you were alive, you fought in battle with courage and determination. Even if it was a desperate battle, you would never surrender. Although I don't have your father's character, I am also the daughter of a general. How can I allow others to humiliate and bully me?

The King of Chu bullied me first, slandered me later, and favored his concubine over his wife. I cannot stand this. I beg you to give me my freedom and allow me to divorce the King of Chu, considering my contributions to Daxia!"
