The little cannon fodder kept releasing melons, and people lined up to eat melons

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for your subject!! The Third Prince…"

Concubine Chen didn't expect that the daughter-in-law that the queen favored so much was now secretly hanging out with the third son. If she knew about it, she would be so angry that she would die.

Angry to death? ? Yes! ! If the daughter-in-law she favored the most became the daughter-in-law of Concubine Jing, wouldn’t this be a slap in her face? ?

How could she not add fuel to the fire when something so unhappy happened to the Queen? After figuring this out, Concubine Chen deliberately said, "Third Prince, if you have feelings for Princess Changle, just tell your father openly. Your father is not the kind of unreasonable person..."

The emperor also felt that the third son was becoming more and more outrageous. If he liked the daughter of the Prince of Huai, why didn't he just say so? He didn't have to force Princess Changle to marry the prince. As for running around the imperial garden like a pair of wild mandarin ducks...

Is he trying to make it a done deal so he will give in? ? Does he look like the type of person who would break up a couple? ?

The emperor criticized with a look of disappointment: "Third brother, if you and Changle are in love, I am not an unenlightened person. Why do you have to do such a shameless thing?"

Murong Jingchen was so frustrated that he almost died. Who likes Xiao Jiayi? ? Not to mention her average appearance, she is spoiled and domineering. The prince only treats her well because he is interested in her status as the Prince of Huai and the Princess of Ya'an.

He knew very well that the Queen and Princess Ya'an were trying to arrange a marriage between the Crown Prince and Xiao Jiayi, so how could he possibly interfere and get into trouble?

Murong Jingchen immediately defended himself: "Father, I didn't do that. I don't know why the princess suddenly hugged me and insisted..."

When Xiao Jiayi heard that the Third Prince meant to accuse her of seducing her, she angrily interrupted him immediately: "You are talking nonsense, Your Majesty, the Third Prince slandered me, it was clearly him who did something improper to me..."

"Nonsense...it was you who held me tightly..."

Murong Jingchen was so angry that he almost went crazy. It was always the men who pulled up their pants and refused to admit it. How could Princess Changle also refuse to admit it after pulling up her pants? ?

What a bad woman, she seduced him and forced herself on him, now she doesn't admit it, and she wants to frame him. Is she planning to seduce him and marry the prince at the same time? ?

Xiao Jiayi is really good at calculating. Is she planning to cast a wide net? Did she seduce Lao Wu in the same way?

"Third Prince, you are slandering me. Why would I hold you so tightly? If that's the case, then you must have drugged me. That's right... It must be like this..."

Xiao Jiayi was almost going crazy. How dare the Third Prince throw dirty water on her in front of the Emperor? Her goal from the beginning to the end was to become the Crown Princess.

She actually said that she seduced him. How shameless! Who is he? In terms of status, he is not as good as the crown prince. In terms of talent, he is not as good as the second prince. In terms of favor, he is not as good as the fourth prince.

She would not even bother to fancy someone like him, let alone seduce him. In her opinion, he probably knew that his situation was not as good as that of other princes, so he set his sights on the Huai Palace.

He was interested in the status of her father and mother, so he chose to drug her today, hoping to force her to submit while the matter was already settled.

What a deep scheme, she would never do what he wants, he can forget it...

Murong Jingchen snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Princess Changle, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You said I drugged you? What drug did I drug you? Father, I ask the imperial physician to verify it to prove my innocence..."

Neither the Emperor nor Concubine Chen knew what the two were up to. They each held an opinion and believed that the other was framing them.

Seeing that the emperor was showing signs of wavering, Concubine Chen tugged at his sleeve, shook her head, and leaned close to the emperor's ear and whispered.

"Your Majesty, no matter who is telling the truth, they have already had physical contact, so it is meaningless to find out who is right and who is wrong. If the third brother drugged Princess Ya'an, how could she let it go? If the drugging is not confirmed, will the emperor really punish the princess? Moreover, if outsiders knew about this, it would be a joke. Anyway, the two of them are already husband and wife, so it is better to grant them marriage and let this matter be over."

After listening to Concubine Chen's words, the emperor felt that it made sense. Since the two of them were so unselfish, they might as well get together as a couple to avoid harming others.

After all, the princess is no longer a virgin, and she is having an affair with the third brother. If they are not allowed to get married, how can we put an end to the Queen and the Crown Prince's dreams?

If he had not come across this incident today, and had followed the advice of the Queen and Princess Ya'an and arranged a marriage between the Crown Prince and Princess Changle, and it was revealed in the future that the Prince had an affair with the Emperor's sister-in-law, wouldn't that bring discredit to the entire royal family?

After figuring out the relationship, the emperor no longer bothered about who was right and who was wrong between the two of them, and spoke directly: "I will pretend that I didn't see what happened today. I will grant you two marriages at the banquet later. You two should take care of yourselves..."

Murong Jingchen thought that his father had determined that he was the one who did it, and hurriedly explained: "Father, I really did not drug the princess. I am wronged. You have to believe me."

"Your Majesty, you cannot believe the Third Prince's one-sided words..."

The two of them rushed to explain themselves, and their expressions were so sincere and heartfelt that they were almost ready to die to atone for their crimes.

Seeing that the emperor was on the verge of a rage, Concubine Chen quickly interrupted them.

"Your Highness, Princess, listen to my advice. No matter whose fault it is, you two are already husband and wife. If you continue to force your excuses, His Majesty will have to severely punish you two. As for you, Princess, if you don't marry the Third Prince this time, who else can you marry? I'm afraid you won't even want to marry a businessman! Have you thought it through?"

Concubine Chen's words made Xiao Jiayi sober up instantly. Yes! The emperor personally caught her having a relationship with the third prince, and it was impossible for her to marry the prince. Now the emperor was at least willing to grant her a marriage with the third prince. If the emperor gave up this idea, then she would really have no chance of being in the royal family.

If she marries the third prince, she may have a chance to sit on the position of the mother of the country in the future. If she marries someone else, let alone that position, she won't even be able to pass the hurdle of the wedding night.

After Xiao Jiayi had completely figured it out, she immediately knelt down properly, kowtowed politely and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you for granting me the marriage..."

Concubine Chen and the Emperor were both very pleased with Princess Changle's good vision and quick understanding.

When Murong Jingchen saw Xiao Jiayi's behavior, he mistakenly thought that Xiao Jiayi was afraid of being examined by the imperial physician, and immediately said to the emperor happily: "Look, father! I didn't lie to you, did I? I said that Princess Changle seduced me..."

The emperor was just happy that Princess Changle was sensible, but then the third brother started to pester her again. It's endless, right? ?

"Third brother! Do you mean that you are not interested in Princess Changle? You don't want to marry the princess? If so, then I will conclude that you forced the princess. I have to give an explanation to the Huai Palace, so I have no choice but to demote you to a commoner. Do you think this solution is okay?"

The emperor used the most gentle words to make the most frightening decision...

Before the emperor could finish speaking, Murong Jingchen immediately kowtowed and shouted: "Thank you, father, for granting me the marriage..."

"You are a teachable boy... All right, follow me back to the banquet! I will grant you two a marriage in front of all the ministers..."

Concubine Chen smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and you have made lovers finally get married!"

The emperor happily pulled Concubine Chen forward, and Murong Jingchen and Xiao Jiayi quickly stood up and followed...

After Song Qianning and Song Qianxue changed their clothes and walked out of the Second Prince's bedroom, they walked quickly in front without looking back at Murong Jingsheng. They just wanted to get back to the banquet as soon as possible.

Murong Jingsheng was walking slowly behind him. Xiao Quanzi, who was following him, couldn't help but say, "Second Prince, I just saw you kiss the eldest daughter of the Song family on her lips! Not only did I see it, but the guards saw it too..."

"Shut up, Your Highness was just giving Miss Song some energy..."

"Then you are still hugging me!!!"

“If I don’t hold her, how can I drag her to the shore?”

"But Miss Song was still hugging His Highness tightly and crying! Not only did I see it, but the patrolling guards also saw it..."

"She was mistaken... Xiao Quanzi, if you don't shut up, do you want me to punish you?"

"I am telling the truth. If Your Highness doesn't want to hear it, I won't say anything..."

Murong Jingsheng's ears were finally quiet. He glanced at Song Qianxue with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes. He didn't understand why there was a deviation, but there was nothing wrong with changing the original trajectory.

"Xiao Quanzi, let me ask you, did you all see it just now?"

"Ah? What did you see? What do you want to say, Your Highness?"

Murong Jingsheng ignored Xiao Quanzi and just muttered to himself: "It seems that I have to ask my father to grant me marriage... I owed you in my last life, so I will pay you back in this life..."

"Your Highness, what did you say? I didn't hear clearly..."

Murong Jingsheng looked ahead and said nothing more...
