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

Empress Xifei looked at Xingchen and wished she could eat him alive.

Why didn't she kill her then?

Wen Xingchen also looked at Empress Xi and smiled slightly, which made Empress Xi so angry that she almost slammed the table.

She actually dared to laugh?

Wen Xingchen: Humph, don’t be impatient. This princess still has a bigger trick up her sleeve.

Empress Xifei said, "Xingchen, you didn't like studying before, and you weren't proficient in any of the arts. Now that you're engaged to the Chen family, you must study hard. Don't go to the Chen family and know nothing, and be laughed at by others."

Wen Xingchen knew that Concubine Xi would cause trouble, and she smiled and was about to say something.

Xiao Bo spoke up for Xingchen and also wanted to build her reputation. He said, "Empress Xifei, you've misunderstood Cousin Xingchen. She's not unlearned. Her literary talent is outstanding, comparable to that of many other students. Furthermore, her riding skills are unmatched, and her chess skills are exceptional."

Wen Xingchen smiled.

"Fortunately, my cousin spoke up for me, otherwise the Queen Consort Xi would have really thought I was uneducated."

When King Jin saw Wen Xingchen looking at Xiao Bo so gently, he felt jealous.

"Mother, cousin Xingchen is very good at chess."

Empress Xifei denied it, saying, "Impossible. She has never learned chess since she was a child."

Xiao Yue said, "Empress Xifei, we have seen my cousin playing chess, and she is very good. Moreover, my cousin played several games in the teahouse, and I was present at every one of them. Father was also there for the last one, and he is aware of my cousin's great talent."

Concubine Xi was somewhat embarrassed by what people said.

The virtuous concubine said, "Your Majesty, we have never seen a star display before. Why not let the stars show us today?"

The Queen said, "Today, the noble ladies are the protagonists. No matter how beautiful the stars are, they already belong to others."

The Queen was really worried that Wen Xingchen didn't know anything and would embarrass himself in such an occasion.

Concubine Xi persisted, saying, "Empress, you don't have to make excuses for the princess. Who among the noble ladies doesn't know that the princess is unlearned and unskillful?"

"The princes just don't dare to say anything bad about the princess."

After hearing what Concubine Xi said, Xiao Bo shook his head slightly.

"Empress Xifei, if the princess is truly talented, would you say this as an insult?"

"..."

Xiao Bo suggested, "Why don't you ask Cousin Xingchen to write a poem to prove your talent? If you really have it, you don't have to apologize. Just return everything Cousin Xingchen gave you!"

"Look, the Xi family has already returned it, isn't it just to draw a line between themselves and my cousin? You still keep it? Do you want to keep it as a thought or to place hope on my cousin? You're not still thinking about my cousin marrying my second brother, are you?"

Empress Xiao Bo directly pointed out the matter and was so angry that she wanted to curse.

She hated Wen Xingchen so much now, how could she let her son marry her?

Xiao Sheng wants to marry Xi Ling'er.

And there is the second daughter of the Wen family, that concubine. I will make sure she is killed in the future.

"That's right. When Cousin Xingchen sent the gift, she was hoping for a long-lasting marriage with Second Brother. Now that Cousin Xingchen is engaged to Chen Silang, it's not nice for you to keep it. If it were a commoner, they would probably pick a fight with you if you withheld it like this."

"Fortunately, the princess' cousin was understanding and didn't ask you for it. But you can't be ignorant of etiquette. If they don't want it, you should just return it. You are monopolizing it and bringing shame to your father..."

"..."

Wen Xingchen nodded vigorously in his heart.

This Mr. Xiao really wins her heart.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the noble ladies from various families were all listening.

The Queen coughed lightly, wanting to laugh but unable to.

The virtuous concubine feigned anger and said, "Uncle Xiao, stop talking nonsense. Your cousin wouldn't ask the Western Concubine for anything. No, the Western Concubine wouldn't covet your cousin's gift. No, your cousin wouldn't be able to compose poetry. Oh, Uncle Xiao, you bastard! You've made Mother speechless."

Concubine Xixi:.......

Wen Xingchen couldn't help himself when he saw the virtuous concubine pretending.

The virtuous concubine looked at the western concubine with a smile and said, "Sister western concubine, don't worry, our princess can't write poetry."

Concubine Xi:......

Wen Xingchen said, "Your Highness, you are wrong. Xingchen is well-read. It would be easy for me to write one, or two or three poems."

Xian Fei was shocked and said, "Xingchen, how shameless! Don't I know whether you can write poetry or not? Go and apologize to the Queen Mother Xi, and this matter will be over."

Wen Xinchen shook his head.

"If it's anything else, Xingchen can still tolerate it, but being slandered? Xingchen is going to get married."

"Did you learn it secretly?"

"Xingchen didn't learn anything secretly. Xingchen has been studying in the upper study room with the princes and princesses since she was a child. Naturally, her knowledge is not low."

"But you didn't know how to do that before?"

"Aren't you afraid that the princes will be suppressed by the stars and beaten by the emperor uncle?" This means that she sacrificed herself in order to prevent the princes from being beaten.

But that's the truth.

In his previous life, the little emperor didn't like to study. When he wanted to teach him a lesson, he was compared to himself by the emperor.

She was so angry that she worked hard to be better than him.

They attend classes together and study together.

She has endured all the hardships of educating children.

What's more, I have lived for decades longer than them and have experienced much more than they have written poems.

Xiao Yue was a little unconvinced.

"Cousin, I don't believe it. You didn't even know what rhyme was before."

Wen Xingchen smiled.

"How about we have a competition?"

Xiao Yue became excited.

Xiao Yue glanced at the chrysanthemums in front of him and said, "Cousin, how about you write a poem using chrysanthemums?"

Wen Xingchen opened his mouth slightly and said lightly, "The west wind blows through the courtyard, the cold and fragrant flowers make it difficult for butterflies to come. If I become the Jade Emperor someday, I will reward you by letting the peach blossoms bloom with me."

Not only Xiao Yue, but all the girls in the room were shocked when he opened his mouth.

They were all carefully nurtured by their families, and were exposed to music, chess, calligraphy, painting, the Four Books and Five Classics, poetry and songs since childhood.

It was not surprising that the princess could compose poems at will, but what surprised them was that the princess could actually compose such good poems.

If I become the Jade Emperor someday, I will reward the peach blossoms by letting them bloom together. Just hearing this makes me feel excited.

Xiao Yue said, "Cousin, this is a coincidence, right? How about another song?"

"When autumn arrives on September 8th, my flower will bloom and all other flowers will die. The fragrance will permeate the imperial capital, and the whole city will be covered in golden armor."

This move is even more amazing.

When everyone looked at Wen Xingchen, they actually felt that women were just as capable as men.

Wen Xingchen is worthy of being the daughter of the former Princess Protector of the Country.

After being shocked, Xiao Bo felt happy.

He was truly happy for Wen Xingchen.

Xiao Bo said loudly:

"Cousin, do another one."

These words are filled with pride.

Wen Xingchen leaned over and said, "The whole garden is ablaze with golden chrysanthemums, with a solitary clump tinged with frost. It's like today, at a banquet of songs and wine, an old man with white hair joins the youth."

"it is good......."

Xiao Bo cheered and was about to sing another song, but the queen quickly stopped them.

"Uncle Xiao, you dare to let your cousin write a poem. If it gets to your father's ears soon, he will take you to the upper study."

"......"

The virtuous concubine glared at her son.

"Uncle Xiao, look at your cousin, and then look at yourself. You are only a few days apart. Why can't you write these poems? Why don't you study hard?"

Well, without waiting for the emperor to scold her, Concubine Xian started.

Xiao Yue looked at Wen Xingchen's confident expression and was secretly shocked.

My cousin really did that to prevent them from getting scolded.

Xiao Sheng: Can you compose three quatrains in a row? No, he can't.

Xi Ling'er's eyes were vaguely looking at Xiao Sheng. He was looking at Wen Xingchen, and he was probably unable to let go of Wen Xingchen even more.

Xi Ling'er's eyes were gloomy and she looked at Wen Xingchen with even more hatred.

She was indeed pretending before.
