Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

"I heard that for newlyweds, the bride will embroider an inner lining for the groom. Princess, would you like to embroider one for me?"

Wen Xingchen saw that he suddenly changed the subject and his thoughts were a little confused.

"Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?"

"I heard from my sisters-in-law today that they embroidered linings for my brothers before they got married, so..."

"So, you want me to sew one for you too?"

Chen Jingting nodded.

And Wen Xingchen smiled.

"Chen Jingting, you want this princess to stay indoors, right?"

Chen Jingting did not deny it.

"So why?"

Chen Jingting said, "Tuoba Muyuan has evil intentions towards the princess. If the Xixia envoy does not leave, the princess will stay in the mansion."

Wen Xingchen:.......

"The princess was just joking with him, but if he took it seriously, he would definitely ask for permission to marry her."

Wen Xingchen said: "The emperor will not send this princess to marry."

"I know, but I'm afraid of what might happen."

afraid?

She raised her head slightly and looked at the vast and boundless lake. She felt a sense of melancholy in her heart. Chen Jingting was actually afraid?

The feared Regent would actually be afraid?

And it’s because of myself.

"In that case, then this princess will stay indoors for the next few days."

The sound of the piano continued in the pleasure boat, and then Wen Xingchen asked him to play chess together.

After playing for a while, they let the pleasure boat go back.

Wen Xingchen and Chen Jingting went to the restaurant to have dinner.

But the singer in the pleasure boat was called away.

Someone asked them what Chen Jingting and Wen Xingchen did in the houseboat.

The singer responded truthfully.

"The princess and Commander Chen played chess and listened to music, and occasionally went to the bow to admire the scenery."

Of course, that's not what they want to hear.

"Did Chen Jingting and the princess violate etiquette?"

The singer shook her head.

"The pleasure boat is so small, there's not much they can do."

"Chen Jia Silang is a gentleman. He treats the princess and the slaves with humility and courtesy."

"Princess Huayang is both talented and beautiful, and we admire her deeply."

After asking, the man went back to report.

That person was Aji who was beside His Royal Highness Prince Jin.

After Aji and Xiao Sheng reported back, Xiao Sheng felt much more relieved.

Since Wen Xingchen intends to choose Tuoba Muyuan, she can also choose herself.

"Your Highness, Princess Huayang and Chen Jia Silang will not violate etiquette in front of everyone in the pleasure boat. If they want to violate etiquette, they should find a place where there is no one..."

"Does Chen Jia Silang dare?"

"Yes, the Chen family is a family of scholars, and with Prime Minister Chen's words and deeds, they will definitely not do anything that violates ethical principles."

"Hmph, if Chen Jingting didn't want others to misunderstand him, he shouldn't have gone boating on the lake with Princess Huayang. That's how a gentleman should be." Chen Silang is an outlier in my family.

"..."

When Wen Xingchen returned home, Wen Xiaoyin smiled and said, "The princess is back. The stepmother is looking for you. She said she wants to discuss your marriage with the princess."

"kindness."

"The stepmother went to the palace early this morning and just came back."

Wen Xingchen knew that it must be an oral order from the palace.

Wen Xingchen went to the main courtyard, and Xu was daydreaming.

I don’t know what I’m thinking about.

Wen Xingchen went in, and Nanny Jiang beside Xu reminded Xu, and Xu came to her senses.

Xu stretched her lips and feigned joy, saying, "I greet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Well, sit down."

Xu didn't sit down, but handed over the list of dowry she had prepared for the princess.

"Haven't you seen this?"

"This is prepared by the palace for the princess."

Wen Xingchen took it and opened it. The things in the booklet were indeed more attractive than those prepared by Xu.

She closed the booklet and said, "This is the intention of the Emperor and the Empress. This princess understands it in her heart."

"Yes, you are valued by the Emperor and the Empress, which is a blessing for our mansion. However, the Empress has also proposed that you marry early, and the wedding date is set at the end of the year."

Get married early?

"Did you say why?"

Xu said, "It's the Xixia envoy, Tuoba Muyuan, who wants to marry you. To avoid trouble, the Empress asked the Imperial Observatory to calculate it again, and the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month is the most suitable date."

The 20th day of the twelfth lunar month? Does that mean there's still a month and a half left?

So sudden?

If she had known that she would be able to marry him so soon, she would have done something naughty a long time ago.

"The marriage was a bit hasty."

Wen Xingchen didn't feel hurried.

But she looked at Xu, who was incompetent. If such a big thing was given to her, she would probably not be able to handle it at all.

However, Wen Xingchen is not a person who knows nothing. In her previous life, she could even influence important court affairs, let alone a marriage.

But she wanted to arrange her own wedding? If this got out, it would make Xu Shi look even more useless.

"Where's Wen Ruyue? Let Wen Ruyue teach you."

"Ruyue is still a child, how could she? Princess, why don't you go to the palace and talk to the Empress, and let her arrange this marriage?"

Wen Xingchen found it incredible after hearing this.

Is this the solution that Xu came up with?

Does she not want to take on responsibilities, or does she feel that she is not prominent enough?

Wen Ruyue was standing at the door at this moment. When she heard her mother's words, she shook her head slightly.

Let the Empress take care of it? Even if the entire Marquisate was used, it wouldn't be enough to hold this wedding.

Her mother thought that if the Queen Mother were to handle it, the money would definitely not come from the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion. Her mother was really daydreaming.

That is the heavenly home. You must prepare whatever you are asked to prepare. Even if it is against the rules, you still have to find a way.

"Mother, I will take care of this matter."

"How can you, an unmarried girl, do this?"

Wen Ruyue didn't say anything to Xu, but said respectfully to Wen Xingchen, "Don't worry, sister. I will definitely make sure you are satisfied."

Wen Xingchen reminded: "Don't make decisions on your own. Everything needs to be approved by this princess."

"Yes, sister knows."

After Wen Xingchen left, Xu began to complain to Wen Ruyue.

"Ruyue, you don't know that the palace said they want to hold a grand wedding, and we only have so much money. If we give it all to her, your wedding will be difficult when the time comes."

Wen Ruyue shook her head.

"Mother, the palace asked you to do it just to get your attitude, not to let you handle it alone."

"..."

Xu was a little confused.

"Princess Huayang's marriage will surely attract worldwide attention."

Just like in the previous life, the palace sent people to assist in the matter.

Not to mention that the banquet was all prepared by the imperial chefs, the palace also gave a lot of dowry.

Some were also given by several generals.

The ten miles of red makeup are all real.

"Mother, just take care of it. Someone will naturally send the dowry and money."

Xu: "How do you know? What if no one sends it?"

Wen Ruyue looked at her mother's stupid appearance and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Mother, Rubao is still in my sister's hands. If you can't handle it well, Rubao will be in a very difficult situation."
