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

When he realized that she did it for him, Furun hated himself for doubting her.

However, Furun's next words made her hate herself even more.

"Furun. If the Prince of Jin becomes emperor, you will die more miserably than me." What are you doubting? The Prince of Jin deserves to die.

But Xiao Sheng deserves death, but is Xiao Bo okay? It is true that Xiao Bo has a kind heart, but being the emperor?

"What's going on with Uncle Xiao? If you ask him to provide disaster relief, can he really do it?"

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

"Mr. Xiao is an outlier. I don't know his depth."

"..."

every other day

Wen Xingchen finished her breakfast in Kunning Palace. The Empress Dowager gave her many gifts. Wen Xingchen looked at them and said, "Empress Dowager, why don't you donate some things to the disaster victims? I think these things are enough."

After hearing this, the Queen was stunned.

Nanny Wen quickly protected the things and said, "My dear, you can't sell these anymore. This is the dowry that the Empress prepared for you. If you sell it, and you can't get married, what will you do?"

"My dowry? That can't be sold? How about selling something else?"

Wen Xingchen looked at the porcelain being played with in the Queen's palace and pointed.

"Those are fine too."

The Empress took a look and said, "The things in this palace are all recorded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They cannot be sold casually."

“Ah, I can’t sell it.”

Seeing her disappointment, the Empress looked at the bracelet on her wrist and said, "This gold bracelet is my dowry. There is no mark on it. You can take it. It is a small token of my appreciation."

Wen Xingchen took it and said, "Thank you, Queen."

Wen Xingchen received the things and said, "I'll go around the palaces later. Maybe I can find some good stuff."

The queen smiled.

"But I need someone to take you to the Imperial Concubine."

"No, I won't go. She will bring it to me automatically. Your Majesty, just wait and see."

Wen Xingchen led Nan Sheng from Kunning Palace to Chuxiu Palace, and then to Jingfu Palace, and got a lot of good things.

The only thing missing is Yukun Palace.

Cui'er, the maid of Yukun Palace, had been following Wen Xingchen. She saw that Wen Xingchen was holding a small notebook with something written in it.

She walked in quietly and heard what they were talking about, such and such, how much they had donated, and how they wanted to present it to the emperor. Cui Er heard it and hurried back to report it.

Wen Xingchen was walking in front when he heard Nan Sheng remind him:

"Princess, Miss Cui'er is gone."

"Well, let's walk slowly and give them a chance."

Wen Xingchen played in the imperial garden for a while, and not long after, he saw the imperial concubine coming.

"Xingchen greets the Imperial Concubine."

The imperial concubine now looked at Wen Xingchen with anger and hatred.

"Xingchen, I heard you were raising funds for disaster relief. Why don't you go to Yukun Palace?"

"Ah, Xingchen knew that the Imperial Concubine had no money, so she didn't go."

"Who said that..."

If you can't afford a decent gift, doesn't that mean you don't have money?

"Her Majesty the Consort said that you are even poorer than she is and you definitely can't donate anything, so she won't let Xingchen waste his breath."

"This Song Weiwei is talking nonsense. Xingchen, don't listen to her nonsense. I have plenty of money... I also have some gifts from the emperor. It's only right that I contribute to the people."

"This is not good..."

"What's wrong with that? As a princess, you can sell your things to help with disaster relief, so why can't I?"

As he said that, he gave Wen Xingchen a hairpin.

A hairpin?

Wen Xingchen raised her eyebrows slightly. She always thought that Concubine Xian was the most stingy, but it turned out that there were people who were even more stingy.

Wen Xingchen looked at the things and couldn't help laughing.

"Xingchen, what are you laughing at? Are you dissatisfied with the cheapness of the gift I gave you?"

"Don't misunderstand, Concubine. Xingchen is not making fun of you. Xingchen just thinks that Concubine Xian has guessed everything."

"What did she guess?"

"She said, 'You are so poor and stingy, Imperial Concubine, that you won't give Xingchen anything good, so Xingchen doesn't need to go.' She also told me to go to the Empress's palace and ask for a senior maid, saying that it would be better than what you gave me. Xingchen didn't believe it at first, but now she does."

"Oh, Noble Concubine, this wasn't said by Xingchen, this was said by the Virtuous Concubine."

After Xingchen finished speaking, he picked up the notebook and wrote: "The Imperial Concubine gave me a hairpin."

"Xingchen, what are you recording?"

"These are gifts from the concubines in the harem. Xingchen has all of them in mind. In a few days, I will post this list at the guild hall so that the people can also see the concubines' good intentions."

Post it in the guild hall? And let the people see it?

The imperial concubine almost bit off her tongue.

Why is she pretending to be poor? Isn't this a slap in the face?

"If the Imperial Concubine is alright, Xingchen will take his leave first."

"and many more."

The moment Wen Xingchen turned around, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then disappeared.

She asked with a puzzled look: "My Lady, do you have anything else to do?"

"Xingchen, I forgot that the uncle of the Prince of Jin just gave me five thousand taels of silver as a subsidy. Give all of this to Xingchen as well."

"Yes, Xingchen thanks the Imperial Concubine on behalf of the people of Jiangnan."

After the Imperial Concubine gave the gift to Wen Xingchen, she felt a little unwilling and said, "Xingchen, has anyone been saying bad things about me in your ear recently?"

Wen Xingchen looked at the Imperial Concubine's unwillingness to give up, her heart was in turmoil, and the scene from her previous life began to echo in her mind again.

Xiao Sheng died of illness shortly after he ascended the throne. Afterwards, Xi Lingbi, the empress dowager, was not very sad. She blamed her for Xiao Sheng's death, slandering her for killing Xiao Sheng and wanting to kill her.

Fortunately, she was quick-witted at the time and took the initiative to undergo the three-court trial and hand it over to the officials for verification, which saved her from danger.

But Xi Lingbi was still unwilling to give up. She regarded her as a thorn in her side and scolded her every day, making her life in the palace even worse. Once, she summoned her to the Cining Palace and ordered several burly servants to strangle her to death.

"The Empress is so grief-stricken that she should immediately follow the late Emperor."

Grief?

At that time, she and Xiao Sheng had already become disloyal to each other, so where did she feel sad?

Xi Lingbi wanted to kill her as soon as possible to pave the way for Xi Ling'er's son. With her around, it would be impossible for Xi Ling'er's son to become emperor.

However, Xi Lingbi still miscalculated. Wen Xingchen had already accumulated a lot of power in the palace. Whether she wanted to kill her silently depended on whether she wanted to or not.

......

Recalling the past, Wen Xingchen looked at Imperial Concubine Xi Lingbi with a colder gaze. She lowered her head slightly and said in a low voice, "Imperial Concubine, they all said that you don't really like me, you're just using Xingchen."

"Nonsense, Xingchen, I like you the most."

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

"You like Xi Ling'er, Xingchen knows it."

"..."
