The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne
Chapter 99: Desire for the Legal Wife
Princess Qinghe was standing in the inner hall of Fengqi Palace. Queen Fang was extremely excited. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and rubbed her eyes for fear that she had seen it wrong.
"Qinghe..."
"Mother!" Princess Qinghe knelt on the ground in front of Queen Fang and said, "I am an unfilial son. I pay my respects to you, mother."
"Hurry up." Queen Fang bent down and helped her daughter up, then looked at the little person in Princess Qinghe's arms: "Is this Yun Ge'er?"
Princess Qinghe nodded.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a while. When they both calmed down, Queen Fang held her daughter's hand tightly and touched Yun Ge'er: "The messenger said that Yun Ge'er was weak and almost delayed. Fortunately, Aning went in time."
"If it weren't for Aning, I really don't know what I would do." Princess Qinghe could not deny that it was Lu Jingning who saved her and her daughter.
She has to repay this favor.
As for why Lu Jingning went to Qinghe, she also knew it.
"You don't have to worry about these things. Now that you have returned to the capital, live peacefully in Fengqi Palace and do not leave this palace in the future."
Queen Fang was determined to keep her daughter by her side.
"When the Queen heard that the Wen family had treated the princess badly, she was so angry that she had several headaches. She was looking forward to the princess's return day and night." said the aunt in charge.
Princess Qinghe looked guilty and said, "It's my incompetence that has made mother worried."
"It has nothing to do with you." Queen Fang shook her head: "If I hadn't married you to the Wen family, your father wouldn't have been able to take back some of his military power. Over the years, I have been resentful of him."
There were several princesses of the right age, but Qinghe was chosen. Empress Fang had mentioned to Emperor Nanliang many times that she wanted to summon Qinghe back to the capital, but each time she was rejected by Emperor Nanliang on the grounds that the child was still young and would not be easy to trouble.
So Queen Fang could only wait.
"Mother, the Crown Prince..." Princess Qinghe hesitated to speak.
"Although the crown prince is gone, the Eastern Palace will not necessarily collapse, and Prince Shen may not be able to ascend to the throne." After Queen Fang made arrangements for Princess Qinghe.
Soon, word spread that Lu Jingning had arrived.
When Lu Jingning came in, there was not even a servant in Fengqi Palace. Only Queen Fang was sitting on the phoenix throne. There was a hint of red in her eyes, obviously she had just cried.
"Aning pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen."
"Aning, please sit down." Queen Fang pointed to a chair beside her and said, "There are no outsiders here. Let's talk."
Lu Jingning lowered his eyes and sat down.
"How do you plan to deal with the Wen family's affairs?" There was a hint of anger in Queen Fang's tone.
Come to think of it, it would be strange for Queen Fang to tolerate the Wen family's treatment of Princess Qinghe. However, the Wen family has been generals for generations, and their family background is no less impressive than that of the Fang family.
The Fang family has only produced a queen now, and there are not many people in the family who hold real power in the court.
"If I had known the Wen family was of this character, I would have let them divorce long ago. Why would Qinghe have suffered for the past few years!" Queen Fang wanted to cut Wen Chen into pieces to vent her anger.
"Queen, calm down. Aning feels that letting a person die is too easy. But if a person is made to suffer and suffer so much that his family and friends are disturbed, and then brought to justice, wouldn't that be more satisfying?" Lu Jingning blinked and carefully observed Queen Fang's expression. Seeing that she showed some interest, he continued, "If the maid Feicui beside the Queen can marry Wen Chen as his wife, it will be both a gift and a punishment."
Queen Fang frowned and thought for a moment.
"There is a concubine named Xian in Wenchen's mansion. She is two months pregnant and has been clamoring to be promoted to the wife these days. If Miss Feicui outshines her, she will definitely be unwilling to accept it."
To kill someone and destroy their heart is to take away what others care about most.
Queen Fang suddenly smiled and said to Lu Jingning, "Aning is smart. You helped me a lot today. I will definitely return the favor."
After saying this, Queen Fang immediately issued an edict to appoint Feicui as a female official and then to marry her to Wen Chen.
The Imperial Decree
Aunt Xian was completely dumbfounded. She had been trying hard to persuade Wen Chen to agree to make her her legitimate wife these past few days, but before the ceremony could even begin, the Queen actually granted him a female official position?
"What does the Queen mean?" Aunt Xian cried bitterly and was about to go to Wen Chen to make the decision. However, she met the nanny from the Queen's palace on the way.
The nanny raised her eyebrows and glanced at Aunt Xian: "This is Aunt Xian, right?"
Aunt Xian's heart choked as she was being looked up and down. She also saw that the person was looking at the clothes in the palace. She did not dare to offend him easily and could only nod.
"I am Nanny Zhang from Fengqi Palace. The Empress learned that Lord Wen favored his concubine and neglected his wife, and that the harem was in turmoil, so she specially appointed a mistress to help Lord Wen stabilize the harem. The Empress praised Lord Wen highly, and said that Lord Wen would rise to prominence one day, and must not be dragged down by his family."
These words both praised Wen Chen and severely trampled on Aunt Xian.
He almost pointed at Aunt Xian's nose and insulted her for causing trouble in the harem.
When Madam Wen arrived, her unhappiness disappeared after hearing these words, and she quickly agreed: "Thank you, Queen, for your gift."
Aunt Xian gritted her teeth and almost cried as she watched a group of people carrying the red silk to the main courtyard.
That was the yard she had her eyes on!
"Where's my husband?" Aunt Xian wanted to go to Wen Chen to make the decision, but was stopped by Old Madam Wen. Old Madam Wen warned her with her eyes: "You instigated Chen Ge'er to deal with Princess Qinghe. The Queen Mother was generous and didn't care. She still values Chen Ge'er. Don't be so ungrateful and ruin Chen Ge'er's future!"
She had always looked down on Aunt Xian, and now she looked down on her even more.
If Concubine Xian can't turn over, Old Madam Wen can keep her firmly in her hands.
"But..." Aunt Xian touched her belly. Her husband had clearly promised her that he would make her pregnant.
"You dare to disobey the Queen's order?" Madam Wen said disdainfully. She turned around and asked the maid to help Aunt Zhang decorate the wedding room. Before leaving, she did not forget to sneer at Aunt Xian: "Don't even think about things that are not presentable in this life."
Aunt Xian was so angry that she felt stuffy in her chest and gasped for air. She almost fainted when her eyes went dark. The maid supported her in time: "Aunt, are you okay?"
"Go find your husband!" Aunt Xian was determined to get things clear.
A palace maid dares to be the mistress. Isn't this a slap in her face? She doesn't believe that Princess Qinghe has no feelings for her husband at all.
How can they still tolerate this?
The maid helped Aunt Xian walk towards the outer courtyard. After waiting for more than an hour, Wen Chen finally arrived. When Wen Chen saw her standing at the gate of the courtyard with a pale face, he knew what she was going to say and walked up to her quickly: "Why did you come out?"
"The Queen Mother has given you a palace maid as your principal wife. What do you think?" Aunt Xian said in a grim tone, her face full of displeasure.
Wen Chen frowned. He had just arrived in the capital when he was granted marriage. He still hasn't come to his senses, but he can't refuse.
"Go and ask the princess to withdraw this matter, at least for Yun'er's sake. It would be unacceptable if word got out that Yun'er's brother was the son of a palace maid." Aunt Xian's face was covered with tears, and she choked up and said, "The position of the legitimate wife was originally mine. The princess owed it to me."
Wen Chen was worried that her emotional excitement would harm the fetus, so he had to compromise.
