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

"Thank you, Princess, for your advice. I will definitely abide by my duty."

Xiling'er knew that she shouldn't argue with her about such things because of their different status.

And she is now at a disadvantage.

"Princess, I have the audacity to tell you something personal."

Wen Xingchen sat down again and asked Xi Ling'er to sit down with him.

Xiling'er felt inexplicably uncomfortable. In the past, she would never have given herself any kind advice.

In the past, she would get angry from time to time, which made him feel not threatened at all, but now the elegant and generous princess made him more uneasy.

"You said."

Xi Ling'er shook off her uneasiness, sat down, and then said, "Princess, did you read the book on the art of balance last time?"

"Well, I took a quick look. It's well-written and quite bold."

"Yes, Princess, do you know why the Three Kingdoms could last for seventy years?"

Wen Xingchen motioned for her to continue.

"Each of the Three Kingdoms had its own advantages. Wei had a vast territory and a large population, well-trained soldiers and ample food supplies, and its cavalry was unrivaled in the world. Wu had the fortification of the Three Rivers and the world's best navy. Shu had a poor land and a small population, but was aggressive and had a strong military. Therefore, each of the Three Kingdoms had its own advantages. During the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei was strong, so Cao Cao allied with Sun Quan to fight Liu Bei. When Wei became strong, Wu and Shu would unite to fight against Wei. The three kingdoms kept each other in check and balance, and thus they were able to survive for a long time."

"It's like the Chen family and the Xi family, checking and balancing each other and complementing each other."

Wen Xingchen laughed after hearing this.

"Miss Xi, you are very bold. There are three kingdoms. Who do you regard as the other one? Is it the emperor? Do you want to unite with this princess to fight against the emperor?"

This is quite outrageous.

Xi Ling'er stood up, bowed and explained:

"Princess, you misunderstood. I was just giving an example, but it was a little inappropriate."

Wen Xingchen raised the teacup, took a small sip, and then held the cup to examine it carefully. What Yingying brought today was a gold teacup with auspicious cloud patterns, which had excellent background.

Seeing that the princess didn't respond, Xi Ling'er was afraid that the princess would go to the palace to complain again, so she explained, "Princess, what I mean is that the Second Prince is still a prince after all. It's easier to resolve a feud than to create one. The Second Prince has offended the princess many times before, but they are relatives after all. It's not easy for him to make such a fuss and embarrass Your Majesty."

"No one knows what will happen in the future. Who knows who will be the winner in the end?"

Does this mean that Xiao Sheng will become the emperor in the end?

Wen Xingchen looked at Xi Ling'er and said with a particularly melancholy tone, "Yeah, who will be the final winner?"

"Princess, you are intelligent and wise. You should know that things in the world are unpredictable. You should be prepared for the worst. You are about to marry into the Chen family. If not yourself, you should at least think about the Chen family."

"The Chen family follows the rules, has always been neutral, and does not like to show off. If the princess likes Chen's son, she should make plans for the Chen family."

Using both soft and hard tactics, Xiling'er is indeed Xiling'er.

But she is no longer the Wen Xingchen of the past.

"I might as well tell you the truth. It is absolutely impossible for me and Xiao Sheng to get along harmoniously. We can only be mortal enemies. My uncle has more than just Xiao Sheng as his son. He also has Xiao Bo, who is my third cousin."

Xi Ling'er said:

"The second young lady of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion is about to become the Second Prince's consort. Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion and the Second Prince are still connected."

Wen Xingchen reminded:

"She's a concubine, and whether it will work out is uncertain."

"What do you mean?"

Wen Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "Which of this foolish little sisters of mine, the military advisor I invited from who knows where, actually came up with the idea that whoever gets this girl will get the world. She wants to give herself such a reputation and use it to prove her legitimacy?"

Whoever gets this girl will get the world?

Xiling'er was shocked.

What idiot came up with this stupid thing.

If this rumor gets out, it will put the princess to death.

No, the princess will not die, she will marry any one of the princes.

But the three princes have already been granted marriages.

No, even if the marriage is granted, the person can also be sentenced to death.

Xiling'er's forehead suddenly broke out in sweat.

"Since the princess already knows about this, she should stop it, right?"

Wen Xingchen smiled.

"Stop it, why should I stop it? I have also decided to give this honor to myself, so that those who once disdained me will regret it even more."

"..."

Xiling'er wanted to scold you, saying you are stupid.

Are those honors a good thing? If you insist on marrying into the Chen family, will the Chen family be willing to marry you?

No, the Chen family wouldn’t dare.

You will be abandoned again.

Wen Xingchen suddenly asked, "Miss Xi is about to become the Princess of Lu, and Xiao Sheng is your cousin. Who do you like the most?"

These words made Xiling'er stunned.

What does she mean by that?

Wen Xingchen didn't want to stay any longer. Yingying saw what the princess meant and reminded her, "Princess, we should go back."

"Go back."

Before leaving, Wen Xingchen said, "Miss Xi is a smart girl. This princess admires her very much."

Wen Xingchen is gone.

But Xi Ling'er had a moment, she seemed to have heard the hidden meaning of Wen Xingchen's words.

She wants to stand on Xiao Yue's side.

Xiling'er looked a little unnatural.

My father did have this intention. Xiao Sheng had been deposed, and now that I had become the Princess of Lu, I naturally had someone to support me.

Wen Xingchen left and did not return home, but went directly into the palace.

Wen Xingchen plans to stay in the palace today.

The Queen Mother must have been busy with her wedding these days, fearing that there would be any mistakes. Fortunately, the Queen Mother is capable and has finished all the work. She is just waiting for Wen Xingchen to get married.

Today, Wen Xingchen went to the palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother sighed that she had not been so busy in many years.

"Our Princess Huayang is married and has become an adult. In the future, you must tell Chen Jia Silang to live a good life. Being a wife of the Chen family is no easier than being a princess."

When Furun heard that she had entered the palace, he asked for leave from the emperor and came to find Wen Xingchen.

She said, "Xingchen will be a wife of the Chen family in the future, but she will also be a princess. The Chen family dare not neglect her. Besides, Xingchen can live in the princess's mansion in the future."

The queen glared at Furun.

"Do you think everyone is as ignorant as you? This world is so harsh on women. A single accusation of being unfilial can bring ruin upon a woman."

"Xingchen, you can't be like your sister, Royal Sister Furun, who only cares about herself and doesn't care about the people around her."

Furun retorted, "Mother, how can you blame me for this?"

The Queen glared at her and said, "Tell me yourself, how many good men have you harmed recently?"

again?

Wen Xingchen couldn't help but admire in his heart, Furun is really good.

However, seeing that the Queen seemed a little angry, Wen Xingchen changed the subject and said, "Queen, Xingchen heard a joke recently. Can I tell you about it?"

However, before the Queen could ask, she heard the Emperor's voice outside the door: "Xingchen, tell me what joke you want to tell me."
