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

Prince Rong's Mansion.

After resting for so many days, Xie Jin no longer needs to use a wheelchair.

Jinling came in from outside:

"Your Highness, we have found out who bought the jade mask. It was Princess Heyan of the Gaoyang royal family who bought it from the Jiang Jade Mask at Yuzhen Tower. She said that if you want to take the jade mask back, you should go to Lanju Pavilion for a visit."

Xie Jin asked: "When?"

Jin Ling said: "Tomorrow morning, she will be waiting for you at Lanju Pavilion."

Prince Gaoyang is a king of a different surname appointed by the emperor himself. He commands a large army and guards the northern territory. His daughter, Princess Heyan, is sixteen years old this year and has reached the age for marriage. Prince Gaoyang is helping her choose a husband.

Princess Heyan grew up on horseback. She followed Prince Gaoyang to the northern border when she was four years old and did not return to the capital until she was twelve years old. She had a bold and unrestrained personality. Her first condition for choosing a husband was that the other party could beat her. Therefore, in the year she came of age, Prince Gaoyang and his wife held a martial arts competition to help her choose an ideal husband.

Any brave man who wants to marry into Prince Gaoyang's palace as a son-in-law can go on stage to compete with Princess Heyan.

However, a year passed and no one had defeated Princess Heyan on the stage, and she was unable to pick a satisfactory husband.

However, although Princess Heyan set up an arena to find a husband, she already had a favorite candidate in mind, that is Xie Jin, the cold-faced god of war who was invincible in the Great Xia Kingdom and made the border countries tremble in fear.

Xie Jin is a prince, His Majesty's younger brother. He has no interest in her and is said to be not interested in women.

She bought his jade mask by accident, and she would definitely seize the opportunity to come into contact with Xie Jin.

On the second day, Xie Jin arrived at Lanju Pavilion.

Princess Heyan has already booked a private room on the third floor with the most beautiful scenery. From the window, you can see the beautiful scenery of Mingmei Lake.

"Your servant pays respect to His Royal Highness Prince Rong."

Seeing Prince Rong coming, Princess Heyan and Shang Yuwan stepped forward and bowed politely.

In order to meet Xie Jin today, she specially asked her maid to dress her up with the most fashionable hairstyle and makeup among the noble women in the capital. She wore a pure and elegant silk dress, which was completely different from her usual jade crown and red tight clothes. She looked like a gentle, charming, dignified and lovely beauty.

Xie Jin walked to his seat and sat down.

"I heard that the princess got the jade face that I was looking for. I want to take it back. Name your price."

Shang Yuwan walked to the table, picked up the teacup, poured a cup of tea for Xie Jin and handed it to him.

"Your Highness Prince Rong, you should not think that I invited you to meet because I want you to redeem my jade face at a high price. I specially invited you because I have other conditions."

She took out the jade mask and placed it on the table.

"This jade face looks like it was cut from a complete piece of jade. If I am not mistaken, this is one of the jade faces of the black iron mask that His Royal Highness Prince Rong wore at Yunlu Villa before, right?"

Xie Jin glanced at her with his calm eyes: "Do you know it?"

Shang Yuwan smiled and said, "I have no intention of offending Your Highness. Last time, after the banquet at Yunlu Mountain Villa, I wanted to look for Your Highness, but I accidentally saw Your Highness leaving Yunlu Mountain wearing a mask. I was worried that something had happened to you, so I chased after him.

But I wonder if His Highness mistook me for an assassin and left me far behind. I remembered the mask His Highness was wearing and drew it from memory. So when I saw the one-quarter jade mask in Yuzhen Tower, I felt familiar with it. I took it back and compared it with the painting, and then I realized it was His Highness's. "

Speaking of the palace banquet at Yunlu Mountain, a hint of coldness flashed across Xie Jin's eyes.

At a palace banquet, he discovered that a guard looked like the assassin who had attacked him before, and wanted to find him out to find out who was behind the assassination.

Unexpectedly, he fell into the other party's trap and was hunted down by the other party.

In order to hide his identity, he wore the black iron mask. It was also at that time that he was poisoned during the fight and met Feng Qingluan in the back mountain of the Prince Chu's Mansion.

I didn't expect that Shang Yuwan had actually seen it.

"So what are your conditions?" Xie Jin's eyes were cold.

Shang Yuwan felt the strong pressure emanating from him, and couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine. She smiled and said:

"Don't misunderstand, Your Majesty. I am not trying to threaten you with my Jade Face. Rather, I want to invite Your Majesty to compete with me on the stage of Qionghua Terrace to fulfill my long-cherished wish."

Jiang Qu said, "Princess Heyan, you said you didn't threaten His Highness. You were competing in a martial arts contest on Qionghua Terrace to find a husband. If my prince went up and beat you, wouldn't he marry you?"

Shang Yuwan shook her head and said, "I can announce to the public that this competition is not for marriage, but simply for sparring. I admire people with such high martial arts skills like the prince, and I really want to fight him."

Jiang Qu said: "If you want to fight, then just find a random place. Why did you choose the Qionghua Terrace? It's too obvious what the princess is thinking."

Shang Yuwan's face flashed with embarrassment: "Guard Jiang, I don't have such thoughts. I, Shang Yuwan, do things openly and honestly, and never use those despicable means to achieve my goals. This is my wish. Besides, you are not His Royal Highness Prince Rong, you can't make decisions on his behalf."

Jiang Qu was furious at her retort. Princess He Yan was really sharp-tongued.

Shang Yuwan looked at Xie Jin again:

"Your Highness, what do you think? Even if I lose to you, I will never force Your Highness to marry me."

Xie Jin looked at her, then suddenly turned his eyes and looked towards the door.

After Feng Qingluan returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Liao Luoling went to visit her.

Previously, Liao Luoling had an asthma attack and was poisoned, and it was Feng Qingluan who saved her.

She wanted to go to the Marquis's house to express her gratitude, but she had not taken any action because her health had not yet recovered. It was not until Feng Qingluan came back from the suburbs that she sent a letter to the Marquis's mansion.

She and Feng Qingluan hit it off immediately, and the two were like long-lost friends. They had been meeting up for the past few days.

Today, Liao Luoling invited Feng Qingluan again and wanted to bring her to Lanju Pavilion to taste the signature roast duck and enjoy the scenery of Mingmei Lake. The two of them walked up to the third floor chatting and laughing. When passing through the corridor, they heard a woman's voice coming from the room in front. Liao Luoling thought it sounded familiar and slowed down his pace.

Feng Qingluan asked: "What's wrong?"

Liao Luoling frowned, "I seemed to hear a familiar female voice."

Feng Qingluan also pricked up her ears and heard words like wanting to marry her.

When the two passed by the corridor and looked inside, they saw the girl sitting in the room and Xie Jin sitting opposite her.

This time it was Feng Qingluan who stopped.

The girl with her back to them asked Xie Jin to marry her?

Did she hear something terrible?

And at this moment, Feng Qingluan's heart inexplicably tightened, and a question emerged in her mind: what is the relationship between these two people?
