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

Fu Run said, "Uncle Xiao joined the Ministry of Revenue. The Minister of Revenue praised Uncle Xiao's ability several times. What's his daughter's name? I remember she was your friend."

"Cheng Yan?"

"Well, let's assign her to Uncle Xiao. The Ministry of Revenue needs reform and needs the support of the Minister of Revenue. Coincidentally, Uncle Xiao works under his future father-in-law, so the Minister of Revenue will definitely support him."

Wen Xingchen knew that Furun was good at this, just like Gao Qingqing pointed out to the King of Han.

The King of Han had been in charge of the Dali Temple for many years and was familiar with the ins and outs of the Dali Temple.

Moreover, the King of Han’s style of doing things is muddle-headed.

Anyone who is remembered by the King of Han will definitely not have a good life and will have to suffer a lot.

Moreover, no one dares to look down upon the father-in-law of the Prince of Han.

Therefore, it is beneficial for Furun to act as a matchmaker.

Moreover, whenever the word "reform" appears, it is not easy.

The Empress listened to them arrange marriages for the princes in a few words, and she was very thoughtful about it. Suddenly, she realized that she, the Empress, had a bit of a leisurely time.

"I'm going to look for your father. Do you have anything else to say?"

"Mother, please go. Father is fine now."

"..."

Administrative Hall

The emperor had just finished dealing with some business and was about to ask how today's chrysanthemum viewing banquet went.

Then I heard that the Queen was coming.

The emperor asked someone to invite the queen in.

The Queen started combing her hair on the way here.

How can I make the emperor agree to this? Of course, I can't say that this matter was planned by Furun and Wen Xingchen, otherwise the emperor will think it's too frivolous.

The Queen walked in and paid her respects to the Emperor first.

"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."

"Qing'er, there are no outsiders here, so there's no need to be so formal."

Qing'er is the name of the Empress.

The Empress gave birth to a princess. Over the years, she has had no ambition to seize the throne, nor has she adopted a child or tried to monopolize power.

The emperor and empress lived in harmony because there was no conflict of interest.

"After meeting those noble ladies today, did you pick out any good ones?"

The Queen was a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Not happy?"

The Empress said, "I originally wanted to marry Xi Ling'er to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, but Sister Xifei seems to be more interested in the daughter of the Gong family, the Minister of Justice."

Emperor Jingtai raised his eyebrows.

Is Concubine Xi stupid?

"What happened today?"

The Queen Mother told the story impartially.

After hearing this, Emperor Jingtai snorted in his heart. He knew exactly what Concubine Xi was planning.

He wants to win over the Minister of Justice.

The Minister of Justice is old and it's time for him to retire.

They want to support the Gong family.

"Xingchen was here today. She told me that Xiao Yue loves Xi Ling'er and doesn't want to marry anyone else for her sake. Xiao Yue has been stubborn since he was young. If I really promised him someone else, he wouldn't be happy and we would end up being resentful of each other. So I can't make up my mind."

"What about Xiao Bo? Why is he doing this?"

"It's easy for Xiao Bo to say. Cheng Yan, the daughter of Minister of Revenue Cheng Canggu, is a good person."

So, Xiao Sheng and Xiao Yue are not in good terms.

"Xiao Sheng seems to still have feelings for Xingchen. This kid is really confused."

These words further ignited the emperor's anger.

"He can't even think about it."

The Empress said, "I also think he is too persistent. Xingchen and Chen Silang have a good relationship. I think there is no hope for Prince Jin."

Hopefully, the Emperor won't let them be together either.

Otherwise, they would have been fulfilled long ago.

The Queen said:

"Xingchen has broken with the Xi family. No matter what the two children think, as an elder, I absolutely cannot bring them together again. To avoid embarrassment in the future..."

"Qing'er, I will issue an order to grant you the marriage."

Soon afterwards, the imperial edict came down.

The Cheng family was not surprised when they received the imperial edict.

Xiao Bo is now in the Ministry of Revenue, and he is very arrogant. One moment he says that the land should be remeasured, and the next moment he says that taxes should not be collected in this way. If he were not a prince, Cheng Canggu would have wanted to pick up a stick and beat him.

However, now that His Majesty has granted the marriage, this signal...

He was afraid that he would have to fight a tough battle.

Cheng Yan was also stunned when she received the imperial edict.

She has no contact with Mr. Xiao.

"Dad, why would the emperor marry his daughter to His Royal Highness Prince Wu? My daughter's performance in the palace is mediocre." She just played a song when she went on stage.

"Yan'er, when the royal family arranges a marriage, they value family background, not you."

Cheng Yan: I thought too much. I thought Uncle Xiao liked me.

Zhenguogongfu

When the Duke of Zhenguo received the imperial edict, he wanted to kick someone.

Xiao Yue? That good-for-nothing guy who followed Xiao Sheng around all day actually wanted his precious daughter to marry him?

Emperor Jingtai, you are going too far.

Xi Ling'er said, "Dad, this matter must be related to Wen Xingchen. At the banquet today, she was the one who intentionally or unintentionally said that Xiao Yue liked her daughter."

"Ningyuan Marquis Mansion? You and I are irreconcilable."

The imperial edict has been issued. If we disobey it, the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion cannot afford it.

Inside the palace

After hearing the imperial decree granting the marriage, Concubine Xi started cursing in Yukun Palace.

"Wen Xingchen, you little bitch, you've ruined my plans again."

Concubine Xi was unwilling and immediately went to find the emperor, begging him to revoke his decision.

However, the emperor said: "Don't you like the daughter of the Gong family very much? And you insist on letting Xiao Yue marry her, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Yue can marry her. Xiao Yue comes from a humble background, so he's more than enough to be with Gong Feifei. But Xiao Sheng can't marry her. Xiao Sheng has to marry Xi Ling'er."

"Xi Lingbi, organize your words before answering me."

Concubine Xi: "..."

"Your current position as a concubine is even lower than that of Concubine De. Why do you think your son can marry her but Concubine De's son can't?"

Concubine Xixi:.......

The emperor is now becoming more and more disappointed with Xi Lingbi.

"Eunuch Hu, go and issue an edict now, conferring the title of Imperial Concubine De upon Concubine Xiao. Xiao Yue will be enrolled in the Ministry of War to study..."

Concubine Xi: "..."

With the decree that Concubine De was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine, the Duke of Zhenguo, who had been clamoring to go to the palace to argue with the Emperor, became silent again.

The signal revealed by the emperor made him feel alarmed.

Is the King of Jin going to be abandoned?

The emperor wants to promote Xiao Yue?

He was the one who promoted the Minister of War, and he was loyal to him, but Qu Zhigang was a relative of Concubine De.

If he refused to marry his daughter to Xiao Yue, Qu Zhigang would definitely have some thoughts.

Who on earth came up with this?

If he refuses, then Xiao Yue will become Qu Zhigang's son-in-law. At that time, Qu Zhigang will definitely support Xiao Yue and no longer support Xiao Sheng?

But if his daughter marries Xiao Yue, why would he still support Xiao Sheng?

The Duke of Zhenguo was very conflicted.

However, the one who was most angry was His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.

As soon as he entered the palace, he had a quarrel with Concubine Xi and almost said that Concubine Xi was more of a hindrance than a help.

"Back then, mother asked me to keep Wen Xingchen hanging and not to treat her well, but what about now? Wen Xingchen is going to marry someone else."

"Ever since Wen Xingchen and I broke up, everything has been going wrong for me. What was your plan back then?"

After hearing this, Xi Fei argued cunningly: "It's you who are useless. You can't even get a woman."

Xiao Sheng felt that his mother was unreasonable.

"Why are you panicking? It hasn't even reached the final stage yet. Who will win or lose is still uncertain."

"Mother, do you have any other ideas?"

"Just wait, Mother will definitely find a way to make her marry you."

"..."

Jingfu Palace

No, Concubine De was still confused when she received the imperial edict.

How did she become a royal concubine?

When Xiao Yue received the imperial edict, he was even more confused than Concubine De, but after he got over it, he was excited.

"Mother, the Emperor has actually betrothed Xi Ling'er to me?"

Concubine De knew that her son liked Xiling'er, and she couldn't hide her joy no matter how hard she tried.
