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

Wen Xingchen ignored her. Wen Ruyue was thinking about how to bring up the matter of His Royal Highness Prince Jin.

She then said, "Big sister, Prince Jin came to look for me today."

"Ah."

Wen Ruyue saw that she looked normal and couldn't figure out what she meant.

Everything she shows now shows that she doesn't like Prince Jin.

Moreover, she had an affair with Chen Jingting in her previous life, and wanted to rekindle their past relationship?

Now you say it's a retreat to advance?

Does she want both men?

In his previous life, Chen Jingting later became a general and was promoted to regent. At first, the two had different political views and often quarreled.

And my eldest sister suffered a lot in front of him.

So she wanted to conquer him in this life? And then be forced to marry the King of Jin?

She can have both of them. Finally, when Prince Jin died, she had no choice but to do so before she could explain her feelings to him. She had always liked Chen Jingting, and Chen Jing...all men fall for this.

Naturally, she wouldn't have spent so much effort to hook up with Chen Jingting in her previous life. They were a perfect match, so there was no need for her to do anything.

"Sister, aren't you happy that Prince Jin is here to look for me?"

Wen Xingchen said calmly, "I, the princess, congratulate my sister on getting what she wanted, and I hope she will be happy in the future."

Wen Ruyue thought to herself: You are just pretending, you must be very happy in private.

"Oops, I took the bait."

Wen Xingchen stood up and pulled out the fish he caught, then Yingying came over and put the fish into the bucket next to him.

"Princess, this is what you just caught. It's the dumbest fish in the whole pond and always takes the bait."

Hooked?

Yes, the current Prince Jin and Chen Jingting are like the fish in this pond, they are all in her pocket.

"Sister, why do you like fishing recently?"

She didn't have this hobby in her previous life.

Wen Xingchen responded, "Don't you think it's interesting? Watching them get caught time and time again makes me feel happy."

Wen Ruyue always felt that she was hinting at something.

"Big sister, Chen Jia Silang should be back soon, right? I wonder if he can make it in time for your birthday?"

Wen Xingchen was also very resentful in his heart.

I don’t know how long Chen Jingting will be gone, he may not be able to make it in time for his birthday.

When this was mentioned, Wen Xingchen became a little sulky.

Wen Ruyue looked at her with a somewhat unfriendly expression, as if she was referring to Chen Jingting? Did she not like Chen Jingting?

I didn't like him so I hooked up with him for the final goal.

She really wanted to compete with me for the position of Empress Dowager.

Thinking of this, Wen Xingchen was still very angry and said, "Sister, His Royal Highness Prince Jin came to me today and apologized to me. He also said that he would treat me well after we get married."

"..."

He was also very good to her in his previous life.

Wen Xingchen suddenly looked at Wen Ruyue with a cold gaze, scaring her so much that the palm-leaf fan in her hand fell to the ground.

"Second sister, if you're okay, go back to your own yard."

Wen Ruyue: “….”

Three days later, the palace

In the Jinluan Palace.

The new Tongzhengshi Cheng Yanque rushed into the hall quickly and delivered the urgent report received today.

"Your Majesty, urgent news from Jiangnan."

"Grain prices in Jiangnan have already exceeded two hundred coins per bushel, and the people are complaining bitterly. Urgent reports are being sent from Jiangnan to the capital, impeaching His Royal Highness Prince Wu."

This statement came out.

The entire Golden Palace was instantly engulfed in a raging storm, and everyone looked at the newcomer in horror.

Even Emperor Jingtai was shocked.

He said in disbelief, "The price of grain in Jiangnan has exceeded two hundred wen per bushel?" What does two hundred wen mean? Before, it was only fifty, or at most seventy wen, but now it's three times more expensive.

It's unprecedented.

"Can the news be confirmed?"

The newly appointed Tongzhengshi Cheng Yanque nodded and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the news is absolutely correct. The urgent reports from Jiangnan for the past two days were written by Inspector Lin, who accompanied Prince Wu. He was very convincing and severely criticized Your Highness for his inaction."

Emperor Jingtai's expression turned even uglier after hearing this.

He clenched his fists and looked angry.

He also wanted to promote this good-for-nothing son, and planned to focus on training him so that he could use him in the future. He even planned to pass the world to him.

Is this how he does things?

He could foresee the price of grain at two hundred coins per dou and the indignation of the people in Jiangnan City!

That was absolutely overwhelming anger.

If this continues, that kid will never come back.

When anger reaches its limit, there will be rebellion, and when the people riot, he will have to send the army to rescue him.

This thing that can't do anything good but always causes trouble is really embarrassing for me.

At this time, Tongzhengshi Cheng Yanque added, "Not only that, the newly appointed Inspector General Lin Zhoujian not only impeached His Royal Highness King Wu for not finding a way to lower grain prices, but also for taking a boat trip every day, imitating the Qinhuai River and the Eight Beauties of Jiangnan."

"Inspector Lin is deeply distressed and has ordered an urgent delivery of eight hundred miles to Your Majesty. Please make the decision."

Following these words, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.

The world was in great distress, so it was okay for King Wu to raise the price of grain to sky-high levels.

You actually want to take advantage of this opportunity to use the victims to rebuild the government office and hold large-scale events?

Xicheng had expected this to happen. How could Xiao Bo, who was idle all day, do such a thing?

Not only would going there only cause trouble, it would also definitely lead to riots.

Look, this is what happened.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Wu is absurd. He actually chose the Eight Beauties of Jiangnan during a year of great disaster. He is completely oblivious to the suffering of the people and treats disaster relief as a joke. If this continues, it will surely cause unrest."

"I implore Your Majesty to severely punish His Royal Highness King Wu and appease the public anger!"

"The general seconded the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

For a moment, the entire Golden Palace was filled with the voices of officials echoing one after another.

Emperor Jingtai was now so angry that his face turned cold, but King Wu made his own choice, so what could he do even if he regretted it now?

He glanced around the court and finally stopped at Prime Minister Chen.

Chen Jingxi stood in the court, but did not join others in the crusade.

Seeing his calm appearance, the emperor's restlessness calmed down a little.

The emperor was about to say something when Furun asked, "Prime Minister Chen, has there been any letter from Chen Jingyao?"

"To answer the princess, no."

Wen Xingchen said calmly, "That means Jiangnan is still under control."

Xicheng asked, "Princess, what do you mean? The price of grain in Jiangnan has already risen to 200 wen. If this continues, Jiangnan will inevitably become a chaotic mess."

"If a riot is caused, His Highness the King of Martial Arts will be in danger. The princess is young and doesn't know that many people will die if a riot is caused. If His Highness the King of Martial Arts is hurt, it will be too late to regret."

"Duke Zhenguo, your words are a bit alarmist. Although Xiao Bo is young, the two young masters of the Chen family are both in Jiangnan. If you don't trust King Wu, you should trust Prime Minister Chen."

After hearing the princess' words, Chen Jingxi echoed, "Your Majesty, I trust Chen Jingting and Chen Jingyao and the others. Furthermore, when I was deployed abroad, I also experienced a lot of disaster relief work. They both went through it with me, so they have experience."

"..."

Chen Jingxi, why didn’t you tell me earlier that you have experience?
