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

Cheng Yan worshipped Buddha and drew a lot, then asked Gao Qingqing if she was willing to draw a lot.

Gao Qingqing thought the way they drew lots was a bit frivolous, so she simply refused.

After worshiping the Buddha, they went for a walk in the backyard of the temple.

After a while, Yingying came to tell her that Mrs. Chen had arrived.

Yingying said, "Old Madam Chen said to let the princess play first, and she will come to find the princess later."

Wen Xingche felt that since Old Madam Chen came here, she must have something to tell him, so Wen Xingchen was not in a hurry.

There is a 27-story tower on the back mountain of Pudu Temple. From the top you can have a panoramic view of the mountain below, which is very beautiful.

But it is usually not open to the public, except for Wen Xingchen.

Wen Xingchen took them for a walk inside.

There are more than 20 floors in the tower, but you can’t climb to the first few floors.

A few people took a break first.

Cheng Yan asked, "Princess, did you make a wish just now?"

Wen Xingchen said: "May the country be peaceful and the people be safe."

Cheng Yan smiled.

"The princess is indeed righteous and awe-inspiring. She is admirable."

Wen Xingchen smiled and shook his head.

"What are you asking for?"

"My older brother is going to take the Autumn Examination, so naturally I want him to be able to pass."

Cheng family?

No wonder she first asked for a son, and no one in the Cheng family was suitable.

However, someone from the Gao family is on the list.

Gao Qingqing saw the princess looking at her and thought she was here to ask her a question, so she said, "The Prince of Han and Chen Silang are both in the rebellion suppression team. I just want them to be safe."

"Xiao Qi is going too?" I didn't hear my second aunt say that just now.

"Well, the Prince of Han said he wanted to achieve great things, in order to..."

"For Sister Qingqing." Cheng Yan teased.

"Sister Yan, stop talking nonsense."

Xiao Qi also went, and the Princess of Han actually agreed?

Gao Qingqing said, "Chen Silang asked for permission to go, it must be for Princess Huayang."

Gao Qingqing wanted to curry favor with Wen Xingchen, but Wen Xingchen smiled and said, "I don't know who he went for. I only know that he didn't show any expression to me during his visit, which is very annoying."

Gao Qingqing asked, "Doesn't the princess want him to go?"

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

"Did Xiao Qi tell you when he left?"

Gao Qingqing nodded.

"Didn't Chen Silang say that?" Xiao Qi showed respect for her. Chen Silang? He had a bad reputation, and perhaps he didn't even consider the princess that important.

Gao Qingqing explained, "Perhaps he was afraid that you, my princess, would not agree."

Wen Xingchen pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe."

Seeing that the princess was not angry, Gao Qingqing did not ask any more questions.

She looked out the window into the distance and saw endless green pines.

Seeing Gao Qingqing remained silent, Cheng Yan took over and asked, "Is the princess worried?"

Wen Xingchen nodded.

"I am worried, but I believe he can do the job."

Wen Xingchen is full of confidence.

He can command thousands of troops, so now it’s just a matter of suppressing the rebellion, which is a piece of cake for him.

"Cousin Xiao Qi has been well-versed in military books since childhood and is a man of strategy. Chen Jingting is skilled in martial arts, and if the two of them work together, they will surely be able to turn things around quickly."

Wen Xingchen's words gave Gao Qingqing enough face.

"Everyone says that the Prince of Han, who plays with cats and walks dogs, is a complete playboy."

Wen Xingchen smiled.

"How many of the royal family's children are truly playboys? It's just... the princess even keeps a lover. Now she's still the Protector of the Nation, participating in government affairs. She can have fun and make noise, but she won't slouch when it comes to serious matters."

"Just wait and see. Once they succeed in suppressing the rebellion this time, we'll see the real outcome."

Cheng Yan nodded and said:

"We await their return victorious."

Gao Qingqing pondered what the princess had said, "How many of the royal family's sons are truly playboys?"

The royal family does not allow playboys, and even if there are, they have a better platform than others to achieve success.

This is royalty.

But she was wrong before, she should be glad that she found a way to keep him.

The Princess of Han, that is the pinnacle that many people cannot reach even after working hard all their lives.

The three people climbed to the top of the tower, rested for a while, and then came down again.

As soon as she came down, Wen Xingchen heard that Old Madam Chen was looking for her.

She found a reason to meet Old Madam Chen.

Madam Chen Lai was waiting for her in Jingyuan. When Wen Xingchen went over, the old lady was already waiting there.

Seeing the princess coming over, she stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Your Highness greets you."

Wen Xingchen stepped forward to support her and said, "Old Madam, you are too polite again."

Wen Xingchen smiled and helped the old lady sit down.

Wen Xingchen sat next to her.

"Has the old lady ever worshipped the Buddha?"

"Yes, I have prayed to the Buddha for Silang's safe return." The old lady said, "Princess, I have been looking for an opportunity to meet you these days to thank you for saving the Chen family so many times."

One was the flood in Jiangnan, which was under Chen Jingyao’s jurisdiction.

According to my son, if the relief supplies had arrived one day later, there would have been chaos throughout Jiangnan, and the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Second, Silang was kidnapped and it was the princess who came forward to rescue him.

Wen Xingchen naturally understood what the old lady meant.

"You are too polite, old lady. The Chen family will also be my home in the future. If the Chen family is well, I will be well too."

"Yes, yes, the princess is absolutely right."

The old lady narrowed her brows slightly, and was very satisfied with the princess who was so sensible.

"The princess gave away all her wealth for the disaster victims. I am grateful to her. Although the things I have are not as valuable as the princess's, they are also a token of my gratitude..."

Wen Xingchen saw a box on the table as soon as he came in.

And not small.

Old Madam Chen opened it, and it turned out to be a jewelry box with a pair of gold hairpins, a pair of step-shaking ornaments, a gold hairpin, and about twenty other items on it.

Normally, a head ornament would only have ten to twelve or thirteen pieces. But these twenty pieces were considered a large sum.

"Is this for me?"

"Yes, Princess, can you guess who designed these headpieces?"

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

Each family has fixed royal craftsmen, and even if you go to buy, there are many stores inside and outside the capital.

Wen Xingchen really couldn't guess.

Moreover, she was not familiar with the design techniques of these things.

The old lady looked as if you would never guess.

"This, Shilang designed it and ordered his craftsmen to make it. Before he left, he told me to bring it to you when I'm free."

Designed by Chen Silang?

Wen Xingchen looked carefully and found that most of these gold hairpin ornaments had one characteristic, that is, they were made with rose as the background.

She said she liked roses, and he remembered it.

Wen Xingchen reached out and took out a rose hairpin, playing with it gently. It was finely crafted, and indeed it was made with great care.

"Why doesn't he just give it to me himself?"

"Silang is a boy who isn't good at expressing himself, but he's very capable of taking action. He didn't tell anyone about the rebellion he was going to suppress this time. Only his family knew about it when the order arrived at their home."

"Then, based on what the old lady knows about Shi Lang, why did he suddenly go to suppress the rebellion?"

The old lady looked at the princess with a bright smile.

"If this minister is speaking for you, it must be because of you, the princess."

"for me?"

"Yes, before he got engaged to the princess, he was undisciplined and spent his days hanging out with wandering thugs. He never worried about making a living. But after getting engaged to the princess, he started to take his life seriously. He wanted to marry the princess, and even more so, he wanted to be a good match for her."

"Achieve great achievements, be granted the title of nobility and become a prime minister, and become a man worthy of the princess."

"..."

Wen Xingchen and Old Madam Chen said goodbye and returned home.

Wen Xingchen returned to Ningyuan Marquis Mansion with the things. As soon as he came back, he took out the ornaments from the jewelry box and placed them out one by one.

I looked at these things for a long time.

Yingying watched from afar, unable to guess what her master was thinking.

Until someone outside said that Ningyuan Hou had returned and asked the princess to come over for dinner.

Wen Xingchen ordered: "Put the things away."

"Yes."
