Daily life of a co-wife

As a lady of the highest rank, Lady Guo'en, Mrs. Gu did not even need a palace permit to enter the palace.

His Majesty and the Queen met her in person.

After Madam Gu expressed her request, His Majesty agreed without even a second thought.

After learning about Madam Gu's request, several concubines in the harem also had their own ideas.

Concubine Rong was the woman who had been with the emperor the longest.

She was the emperor's maid of honor and gave birth to a son and a daughter for the emperor, the eldest prince Song Yechen and the third princess Song Shiwei.

"The men of the Gu family are all rare military talents. Although they are co-wives, their status is almost the same as that of the principal wife.

After you marry into the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion, you will have the highest status. If you give birth to children in the future, you can inherit the title of Ningguo Marquis.

Weiwei, you can’t be so willful anymore.” Rong Fei found her daughter.

Although she is the woman who has been with His Majesty the longest, her family background is not good, and now she is old and ugly, so she has long lost her favor.

If she didn't make some plans for the eldest prince, he would probably end up being a bald prince in the future.

Concubine Rong thought about the benefits this marriage would bring her.

So she chose to sacrifice her daughter.

"My daughter is a princess of the royal family, but she has to marry into the Gu family as a co-wife. Mother, have you ever thought about my feelings?

It’s okay for my daughter to marry into the Gu family, but she has to be Gu Zigui’s legal wife!” The third princess’ tone was filled with a hint of helplessness.

As a royal princess, although she is not favored, she still has her own dignity.

Although Ningguo Hou has passed away, the Gu family can be considered the new elite of their Duan'an Kingdom.

In the next ten years, as long as there is no more war as tragic as the Battle of Dufeng, the world will remember the Gu family’s contributions.

By marrying into the Gu family, she would be respected by the world. There was no reason for her to disagree with this marriage.

Besides, although the children of the Gu family have passed away, the Gu family’s connections in the military are still there.

If big brother has these connections, would he still worry about not having power?

After listening to her daughter's words, Rong Fei thought they made sense.

Her daughter is a royal princess, how can she be inferior to others?

Gu Zigui wants to take over the third wife, so why can't his daughter be his principal wife?

She sent people to investigate Gu Zhigui's affairs, and found out that the girl he wanted to marry was just of commoner origin.

My daughter has already been wronged by marrying into the Gu family. If she is still treated inferior to others, she will be suffocated to death.

"I will discuss this with Father."

In the evening, Rong Fei's health-preserving soup attracted His Majesty to her.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to marry my daughter to the Gu family to help Your Majesty share your worries.

But your majesty, our daughter is a royal noble lady, what if she could be married as a co-wife?

The Gu family has made many sacrifices for the people of Duan'an, but we can't be too accommodating to them." Rong Fei said.

His Majesty touched the teacup in his hand. He had his own considerations.

The so-called kindness to the women and children of the Gu family was just for show.

Although the Gu family is descended from a military family, he knew how much money the family had. If his daughter married into the Gu family, she would be dragged down by the group of women and children in the family.

"You mean to let Wei'er marry you as your principal wife?"

“Wei’er is your Majesty’s daughter. If the Gu family had considered your Majesty’s feelings, they shouldn’t have asked to marry a royal noblewoman as their co-wife.

I dare not forget the sacrifice of the Gu family, but the king comes before the minister. How dare the Gu family take the royal lady as a concubine?"

Song Beichen paused holding the teacup and suppressed the guilt in his heart.

He is the king and the Gu family is the minister. If the king wants his minister to die... that's all.

"The Gu family doesn't have much property. Are you sure you want to marry Wei'er to them?" His Majesty asked again.

He knew how the Gu family was defeated.

At first, he didn't plan to marry his daughter to him.

The Gu family wanted a noble wife, and he was planning to confer a princess upon a relative.

"Since she was little, Wei'er has admired those brave generals who defended their country. After learning about Madam Gu's request, Wei'er took the initiative to find me.

General Gu Zigui is also a rare young talent, and I support Wei'er's choice." Rong Fei said with a smile.

As for who started this, it doesn't matter.

"Gu Zigui is the heir of three houses. His principal wife is the third young husband of Ningguo Marquis, his secondary wife is the eldest young wife of Ningguo Marquis, and there is also the eldest young wife of Anguo Marquis.

The family background of Ningguo Marquis is better than that of Anguo Marquis. My original intention was to let Wei'er marry as the first wife of Ningguo Marquis.

If she has children in the future, they will inherit the title of marquis.

If she is the legal wife, she will be the Third Young Master's wife, and the child who will inherit the title in the future will not be hers. Wei'er should think about this matter carefully." His Majesty said earnestly.

The son of a concubine's wife has the hope of inheriting the title, but the wife has the highest status.

This matter...

Rong Fei thought about it and made a choice.

"Your Majesty, Wei'er is a royal lady, so she can only be the principal wife."

The title is not important. What is important is who has the connections of the Gu family. It will take more than ten years for the next generation to inherit the title, right?

A lot can change in a dozen years.

As soon as the news that the Gu family was seeking to marry a noble lady spread, the news that Marquis Anguo wanted to marry a concubine for Gu Zhigui also spread.

Although Gu Zigui is a young hero, his body is no longer fit for going to the battlefield. In addition, he has to take care of three wives at once, so the position of his second wife is a bit awkward. The choice of this second wife is really not good.

At this time, a merchant came to Renma Street in the south of Shengjing City.

After hearing the marriage requirements announced by the Gu family, I had an idea in mind.

"Madam, Qingmo is already eighteen years old." Su Youxin thought of her eldest daughter.

He wanted to develop in the capital, but he had no connections. Whether in business or government, he would not go far without someone to protect him.

And the upstart Gu family also caught his eye at this time.

The Gu family had a good reputation but not much money, while the Su family had money but no connections in the court.

At this moment, his mind was full of thoughts about how much benefits it would bring if he could marry into the Gu family.

Just relying on the reputation of the Gu family as a loyal and brave family, most people would not dare to confront the Gu family in the short term.

"Mo'er is the master's legitimate daughter. Does the master still need to ask me about me?" Madam Su Lin Qinghua said gritting her teeth.

"I remember that Qingmo's marriage had not been settled, but I, the master, found a good home for her.

Marquis Anguo wanted to marry a second wife to their deceased eldest son, and let Marquis Ningguo's third young master, Gu Zigui, take over the third branch of the family.

This is an opportunity for Qingmo." Su Youxin said calmly.

Hearing this, Lin Qinghua took a breath.

Being a concubine is not a good place to go. She doesn't know the situation of the Gu family, but she knows what a wife who is concurrently married to the emperor is.

Although the wife of a concurrent husband is not a concubine and is nominally a co-wife, she is ultimately inferior to the principal wife.

The daughter was going to marry into the Anguo Marquisate, where she had to take care of the whole family and worry about the family's livelihood. This was not a good marriage at all, it was clearly a pit of fire, and whoever married into it would be unlucky.

It would be fine if you had children, but if you don’t, the mother-in-law and sisters-in-law at home will wear you down.

"I don't agree with this!"

Whoever gives birth to a daughter will love her, and she will not allow her daughter to marry into a hell!
