I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

After entering the palace, the towering palace walls isolated her from the outside world, as if she had become a bird in a cage.

Seeing her lost in thought, Eunuch Wen kindly reminded her again, "The General's Mansion and the Jiang family have arrived. When you get here, you must not hit anyone in the palace."

"..."

Wen Qingzhi paused and laughed awkwardly, "Father-in-law, I was a fool before, not a madman."

"Old slave understands."

Eunuch Wen smiled and led her forward, passing through the tall and majestic city walls. Occasionally, they met patrolmen, who looked at Wen Qingzhi with fiery gazes.

Wen Qingzhi was puzzled, so Eunuch Wen explained to her, "The Marquis of Zhenguo is a role model for martial artists in Beiming, so most people respect the people in the Marquis of Zhenguo's mansion."

She got it.

This meeting was not held in the main hall, mainly because Wen Qingzhi's status was not suitable.

When they entered the hall, people from the Yuan, Jiang and Wang families were all there, and Jiang Huan was sitting there.

When they saw Wen Qingzhi come in, everyone looked at them differently.

The emperor had not arrived yet, and as soon as she entered, Wang Han whispered a few words to her father.

"Miss Wen, please wait here."

Duke Wen spoke up and then quietly reminded, "Remember, you can't hit anyone."

“…Thank you, eunuch.”

Wen Qingzhi didn't understand why Eunuch Wen always emphasized to her that she couldn't hit people?

Wang Zhenglian looked at Wen Qingzhi with a complicated look.

She saved her daughter, but... also offended the Jiang family and the Yuan family.

We can't afford to offend these two families.

Even so, he still secretly nodded to Wen Qingzhi to express his gratitude.

Wen Qingzhi nodded to show that she understood, and looked at the two families coldly.

How could Jiang Ying have ever suffered such humiliation?

She pointed at Wen Qingzhi and said, "You shameless bitch, you ruined my reputation in public. I won't let you go!"

"Yinger."

Jiang Huan only mentioned it once and didn't say anything else.

Seeing him like this, Wen Qingzhi did not give in.

He sneered, "If you have done it, no matter what others say, it is not true."

Her eyes lingered on her belly. "The palace physician's medical skills are remarkable. I can tell at a glance."

"My wife and I are already married, so it's normal for her to be pregnant."

Yuan Shao was worried that if the imperial physician really came to take the emperor's pulse, he would slap the emperor in the face in public, making him even more dissatisfied.

Originally, Wen Qingzhi hadn't intended to say anything harsh, and she hadn't come here to argue with them. But she had never expected this group of people to rush to her to be scolded.

What a bastard.

"It's normal to get married and pregnant, but..."

She glanced at the few people and said, "We've only been married for a few days, so even if you're pregnant, you can't feel it."

She scoffed a few times, "You're stupid, and you want others to be like you?"

It's full of sarcasm.

"Wen Qingzhi!"

Jiang Ying stomped her foot and was about to step forward and take action.

As long as her husband and father are around, she is not afraid of the woman in front of her!

"You'd better stand there and don't come here to get beaten."

Wen Qingzhi kindly reminded her, "This is the imperial palace, not your home. If you miscarry here, it will be considered a desecration of the royal sanctuary."

"To punish multiple crimes together is also a serious crime."

Everyone present knew what Wen Qingzhi was talking about, and immediately murderous intent arose in the hall.

Jiang Huan looked at Yuan Shao and his son and made a decision: This man cannot be kept!

After all, they are in the palace. If someone reports them for behaving inappropriately, they will suffer the consequences.

"Ying'er,"

Yuan Shao went over, held her in his arms, and whispered to her, "Don't bother with this guy."

Wen Qingzhi smiled, "If you have nothing to do, go read more. Don't be embarrassed if you don't have any basic knowledge at all."

She rolled her eyes in disgust. Yuan Shao and the others were about to say something when a voice came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived—The Regent has arrived—"

Feng Yunxiao?

Wen Qingzhi couldn't help but frown.

This man is very dangerous...

Eunuch Dai led the way, and the bright yellow figure entered the hall with the man in black. Jiang Huan stood up from his chair and led everyone in saluting.

"Your humble servant pays homage to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"

"Meet the Regent!"

The emperor raised his hand and asked them to stand up. Feng Junxiao's eyes swept over everyone and finally fell on Wen Qingzhi.

She looks interesting because of her neither humble nor arrogant attitude.

Whatever she said to Zhang Ye, Zhang Ye reported it to Feng Junxiao as soon as he got back.

After all, even if he was a death row prisoner, Zhang Ye, a subordinate, did not have the power to bring him out and have his eyes gouged out by Wen Qingzhi.

The technique of opening the chest, the technique of replacing the eyes, even Feng Yunxiao dared not think about it...

Realizing that Feng Junxiao was staring at her, Wen Qingzhi turned her head away, not wanting to have too much contact with him.

"I heard about it."

The emperor looked at Wen Qingzhi and asked, "Miss Wen, do you have anything to say?"

"Have."

Wen Qingzhi was straightforward, saying, "My brother, Wen Qingli, once had a romantic connection with a woman and had a son. I have come here today to implore Your Majesty to allow me to marry my brother!"

The emperor had already heard the rumors in recent days, but he didn't expect Wen Qingzhi to say it so bluntly.

The posthumous child of the Wen family should be returned to the Wen family, both morally and logically.

But... he was born to a daughter of the Jiang family. The Jiang family and the Yuan family were already married, so if they married into the Wen family...

He and Feng Junxiao looked at each other, and it was unknown what they exchanged.

Suddenly, he smiled and asked, "Miss Wen, are you here just for this?"

"Yes."

Wen Qingzhi's eyes were firm, "Just for this matter."

"Oh?"

The emperor glanced at the others present with a half-smile, then said to Wen Qingzhi, "But I heard... Lord Jiang and General Yuan's family's visit is also related to you."

"It doesn't matter. After all, I am only concerned with this matter. As for the others, that is their business and has nothing to do with me."

"You've ruined my reputation, and now you dare to say it has nothing to do with you?!"

Jiang Ying could no longer bear the grievance, "Wen Qingzhi, you are really good at telling lies!"

"..."

After Jiang Ying finished her angry scolding, there was complete silence.

Jiang Ying is not a fool. Under normal circumstances, she would never be so impulsive.

But now that it concerns her own child, she can't bear it no matter what.

Wen Qingzhi didn't refute, or rather, she didn't take her seriously at all. She stood there neither servile nor overbearing, and said to the emperor, "I beg Your Majesty to grant me this."

"I've heard a lot about recent events, but... things like marrying a wife still require the permission of parents and the words of a matchmaker."

He paused, then looked at Jiang Huan with a smile, "What do you think, Lord Jiang?"

Jiang Huan was embarrassed, lowered his head and looked around, "Old minister..."

"Miss Jiang stole my fiancé, so my brother is worthy of marrying Lord Jiang's concubine."

Wen Qingzhi looked over with a smile on her face, "Even though she's a concubine's daughter, the Marquis' Mansion will marry her as a wife and will never treat her unfairly."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Huan's original words of rejection were stuck on his lips, and the smile on his face froze.

Before he could speak, Wen Qingzhi added, "It's my brother's fault. Sun Yao shouldn't have to bear the consequences. The child is already four years old. It's time to be included in the family tree."

"I--"

"Master Jiang, the bloodline of the Wen family will not remain in the market."

Wen Qingzhi had a cold expression and looked at Jiang Huan with a detached attitude.

"If you agree, the Wen family will propose marriage tomorrow and marry Zhang Yao soon, giving her and the child a legitimate status."
