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

"No, my second and third brothers are not married yet. How can I be ahead of them?"

When Prince Jin heard her words, his eyes fell slightly on Wen Xingchen.

If he were to marry, he would want to marry Wen Xingchen.

Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes were as bright as lake water, and they seemed to contain the secrets of countless stars. Her lips were crimson, like cherry blossoms in full bloom, making her look like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.

Although there were no ornaments in his hair, it could not conceal his stunning beauty.

Xiao Bo was also annoyed.

"Cousin, if you dare to let me marry those ugly girls, I will immediately tell my father that I want to marry you. Even if we are engaged, I will find a way to snatch you away."

Wen Xingchen saw that he was so bold that he dared to threaten him.

Wen Xingchen raised his foot and kicked Xiao Bo again. Xiao Bo subconsciously ran away, and Wen Xingchen chased him and beat him, making Xiao Bo beg for mercy repeatedly.

Uncle Xiao looked at the two of them making such a fuss, and felt a little dazed.

Fu Run looked at Prince Jin's expression and said, "Second brother, the princess's cousin is much more lively now."

Fu Run meant that she had become very nice after she fell in love with him. In the past, because Prince Jin didn't like her arrogance, she had deliberately disguised herself, not only in her contrived behavior, but also in her ability to read Prince Jin's face.

But now, she is not afraid.

And King Jin's eyes began to follow Wen Xingchen unwaveringly.

Just now at the banquet, Furun looked at him from time to time, and his eyes always followed Wen Xingchen.

Just now, Wen Xingchen was called away by Xiao Bo, and he became anxious and followed him again.

So urgent?

Furun felt that Wen Xingchen should not stay in the palace in the future as it was too unsafe.

The next morning

When King Jin heard that Chen Jingting had gone to look for Wen Xingchen early in the morning, he colluded with Xiao Yue and prevented Wen Xingchen from returning.

Wen Xingchen had planned to go back early in the morning, but Xiao Yue said that Uncle Xiao had just done something big and asked them to find a place to celebrate.

Wen Xingchen had no reason to refuse.

So they made an appointment to go out for horseback riding and archery.

The weather was good today, so Wen Xingchen invited a few friends to join him.

Cheng Yan, daughter of the Minister of Revenue; Gao Qingqing, daughter of the newly appointed Supreme Court Justice Gao Mingyang; Niu Runqin, the Minister of Justice; Gong Feifei, daughter of the Vice Minister of Justice; and Qu Mingming, daughter of the Minister of War.

Princess Furun called over the Prince of Han, Xiao Qi.

The place for horse riding and archery is still Xiao Bo's horse farm. Wen Xingchen likes horse riding and archery very much. In the past, when she was there, others were basically just supporting roles.

But today Wen Xingchen was not so keen on showing off. She rode her horse slowly and gave them instructions on how to ride from time to time.

"Princess, we misunderstood you regarding His Royal Highness Prince Wu. We apologize to you."

"It's okay. Besides, it's not your fault. It's His Royal Highness the King of Wu who has acted so outrageously. If I didn't know more about the inside story than you, I would have misunderstood."

Seeing that the princess was not angry, Cheng Yan said, "Princess Huayang is not only beautiful but also generous."

Niu Runqin also said: "Have you heard? The four major grain merchants in Jiangnan actually overestimated their own strength and challenged our grain merchants in Beijing. In the end, they were defeated by our grain merchants in Beijing. They were defeated miserably..."

Cheng Yan smiled.

"I've heard that they overestimated their own capabilities and intended to drive up grain prices, hindering disaster relief efforts. Our grain merchants in the capital couldn't stand it, so they went over there and pushed down the prices."

"And I heard that His Majesty King Wu went to warn them, but they overestimated their own abilities and refused to listen."

"..."

Wen Xingchen listened to their opinions on this matter, pursed his lips slightly, and did not express any opinion.

As they were riding horses, they saw Xiao Bo and others riding horses towards them, including Xiao Qi.

He rode over, his eyes falling on Gao Qingqing's face.

When his mother told him that he was going to marry Gao Qingqing, he was excited.

But the other party didn't seem to agree with this marriage.

The few times he met her, she avoided him.

This time, her pretty little face was slightly lowered, and she was gently stroking the horse's mane under her.

When Wen Xingchen saw Xiao Qi, he asked, "Cousin Qi, are you used to the West Mountain Camp?"

Xiao Qi retracted his gaze and said, "Well, General Tai governs strictly and treats everyone equally. The soldiers are very convinced. I have always admired General Tai. He goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy and is invincible in every battle."

"You just get used to it."

Wen Xingchen saw that his gaze was following Gao Qingqing, looking back and forth several times, but he still couldn't figure out the situation.

Cheng Yan, who was standing next to her, explained to her, "Princess, Sister Gao is discussing marriage with the Prince of Han."

Discuss marriage?

Xiao Qi and Gao Qingqing?

Is there such a thing?

It seems not.

"Who is the matchmaker?"

Fu Run said, "This princess said it. What do you think? Aren't they a perfect match?"

Wen Xingchen said, "Look at Gao Qingqing. She clearly despises Xiao Qi. Aren't you afraid they might be a couple with grudges?"

"She doesn't like it, but Gao Mingyang likes the Prince of Han's mansion. Don't worry, she'll know how good the Prince of Han is once she marries him."

"I think they are not suitable."

Furun shook his head.

"Their families are quite similar, so they are a good match. And if Gao Qingqing marries the Prince of Han, the Prince of Han will definitely not stand idly by and will definitely help the Gao family secure their position as the Minister of Justice."

Wen Xingchen glanced at Gao Qingqing, but she was still avoiding him.

Cheng Yan said to Gao Qingqing, "Sister Qingqing, the Prince of Han is not as dissolute as the rumors say. He has already joined the Xishan camp and has a serious job."

Gao Qingqing frowned, and said with some discomfort in her words: "How come you didn't know he was coming today? If I had known he was coming, I wouldn't have come."

Furun: ...

Wen Xingchen raised his eyebrows, thinking that he looked down on the status of the Prince of Han's Mansion.

The King of Jin did not want the Han Palace to marry into the Gao family. He gave the King of Lu, Xiao Yue, a look, and Xiao Yue deliberately said:

"Xiao Qi, are you adjusting well to the West Mountain Camp? I heard General Tai asked you to start as a soldier. That's really disrespectful."

Wen Xingchen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Xiao Yue's words.

She clearly saw the look of disgust on Gao Qingqing's face.

Wen Xingchen subconsciously looked at Xiao Sheng with her eyes slightly narrowed. King Jin saw her looking at him and opened his mouth to say something, but saw her looking away.

Xiao Qi said: "There is nothing to be uncomfortable with. General Tai treats everyone equally. He is a good general."

However, this statement was misunderstood. It was a response to King Jin, and he was just a small soldier.

Xiao Bo comforted him, "It's okay. General Tai started out as a small soldier, and now he has become a top general."

The King of Yue also said, "Let's go find General Tai and talk to him later. We can't let you..."

Fu Run was also curious and asked, "General Tai is the most impartial, but he wouldn't let the Prince of Han be a soldier, would he?"

If it was just a small soldier, would the King of Han agree? He would have caused a commotion long ago.

Wen Xingchen said, "It's the deputy general."

Furun understood clearly.

"This princess has always said that having the Prince of Han serve as a soldier is a bit of a waste of his talent."

Yes, no matter how incompetent the Prince of Han is, he can at least get a job writing memorials.

Wen Xingchen looked at Gao Qingqing again and was still dissatisfied. This deputy general hadn't impressed Gao Qingqing at all.

Wen Xingchen shook his head and said to Xiao Qi, "Xiao Qi, how about I challenge you to a duel?"

Xiao Qi originally wanted to see Gao Qingqing, but seeing that she ignored him, he didn't bother himself.
